When Xiao Ju heard this big voice, she knew that Rayong was coming. If this is the case, it was Rayong who took the lead in rushing into the room, but after not seeing him for more than half a year, a tall and strong man was so thin that only a skeleton remained.

"Xiaoju, is it really you? You're finally back! You don't know, after Zhou Wu arrived in Shandong, he asked your Luo Dad about your situation, knowing that you were arranged to follow the staff of the Suwan District Government to withdraw very early, at that time we had not yet merged with the Shandong Field Army, we found the staff of the Suwan District who had withdrawn at that time, but there was the name of your family in the retreat list, but I couldn't find you, Zhou Wu was so anxious that he quarreled with the people in charge of the retreat several times, and your Luo Dad's white hair was in a hurry. When Luo Yong saw Xiao Ju, he wanted to reach out to Xiao Ju to give Xiao Ju a hug as in the past, but Zhang Guomin stood quietly in front of Xiao Ju one step earlier and separated him.

As for Xiao Ju, through Luo Yong's side, he saw Zhou Wu who was following Luo Yong at a glance, looking a little silent. Zhou Wu, like Luo Yong, lost a lot of weight, which made Xiao Ju a little puzzled, could it be that the supply of food and grass for the team was so difficult? Can't even guarantee food? Is it really as Zhang Guomin said, the fall of the Suzhou-Anhui base area was a fatal blow to the Central China Field Army? Not only did they lose their territory, but they also lost the cost of raising the army and the supply of soldiers?

But since you came to Shandong, before the merger, the Shandong Military Region should have some funding, right? Doesn't it make this man look like a long-starving refugee?

Xiao Ju hadn't opened his mouth to ask here, and Luo Yong was shouting angrily, "Zhang Guomin." What do you mean? Why do you want to stand in front of Xiaoju? As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Guomin aside.

"Rayong, don't be so frizzy all the time, okay?" Zhou Wu, who had been standing by the door and staring at Xiao Ju, finally spoke.

"I'm sorry to worry you! It's just that the retreat group we followed was ambushed by ** on the way, and finally escaped from the encirclement and came to Shandong, but found that Shandong was full of **, and I didn't know how to find the team, so I had to take a few people who escaped together to hide in a village called Haozhuang. I brought someone to find it by all means! Xiao Ju looked at Luo Yong, Zhou Wu and Chai Yi who rushed over. On their faces that were obviously relieved to see themselves, they couldn't help but explain a little about the experience of most of the past six months.

"I knew that there must have been an accident on the way to retreat, and what else did the person who arranged the retreat say, there would definitely be no big problem! The routes out are all hidden. Another way to evacuate is to walk day and night. Those ** certainly didn't think of it! I look at those people and think they're smart. Could it be that people are stupid? Zhou Wu said with some hatred.

"It's also an accident! No wonder the people who arrange the itinerary! "Xiao Ju snorted haha, and the mud.

"Xiaoju, I have accepted all the eleven people you asked people to bring to me! The physique is not bad! Thank you so much! Chai Yi, who came over at last, showed a big smile on his dark and thin face.

"I didn't let you break the discipline!" Xiao Ju replied with a smile.

"Brother Zhang. Brother Luo, and Brother Zhou, you are still saying that I am about to starve to death! Zhuang Zhuang's crisp child's voice suddenly sounded, blocking Zhou Wu's words that were about to speak. At the same time, Zhuang Zhuang's words plunged the scene into an eerie silence.

"What's wrong? Is there a shortage of food? Xiao Ju couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw that the faces of several people were wrong, so she looked at Luo Yong, who couldn't hide her thoughts the most.

"The food is not broken! This matter is still told to you by Zhang Guomin, and the logistics were originally in charge of him! Unexpectedly, Luo Yong also learned to push and wilt, and immediately kicked this hot potato to Zhang Guomin. Xiao Ju was right when she thought about it, so the inquiring eyes went towards Zhang Guomin.

"This ...... Aren't everyone hungry? There should still be food in the military canteen! I'll take you to eat and you'll see why! Zhang Guomin is much more cunning than Luo Yong, he didn't directly explain the reason, but let Xiaoju and the others experience it for themselves.

Xiao Ju saw that as soon as he mentioned eating, everyone was silent, and guessed that there must be something unspeakable here, so he didn't say much, and motioned to Xiao Ju Niang, Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Sheng to follow. And Liu Yuan, Zhou Limin and Zheng Jiaojiao didn't wait for Xiaoju to scream, they had already stood up and walked towards the door of the house.

Xiao Ju and the others followed Zhang Guomin and others to the canteen of the military region, it was already past lunch time, but under Zhang Guomin's greeting, the people in the canteen still helped Xiao Ju and the others make some food. As soon as the rice was served, Xiao Ju knew what the problem was.

Because Xiaoju's current body was born in Henan, there is not much difference between Henan people and Shandong's food, but Zhang Guomin is different, they are all southerners, and they are used to eating rice, and now they have moved to Shandong, first of all, the difference in diet cannot adapt to it for a while.

Xiao Ju looked at the big pot of yellow and clear rice made of millet that came up, didn't say anything, picked up the bowl in front of him and put a bowl in his mouth, and took a bite in his mouth, and it rattled as soon as he chewed it, Xiao Ju knew that this was the reason why the sand in the millet was not washed when cooking. Where is this eating, it's like eating sand!

"Sister Xiaoju, I don't want to eat this sand rice! I'm going to have my teeth popped! Xiao Sheng didn't chew the sand rice in his mouth for a long time, and looked at Xiao Ju with pity in his eyes. Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Ju Niang are fine, but looking at the way they swallowed, they swallowed the rice without chewing anything. As for Liu Yuan, Zhou Limin and Zheng Jiaojiao, they looked at the bowl of rice in the bowl with embarrassed expressions.

"Brother Zhang, it's okay to eat small rice, but the sand in the rice still needs to be cleaned, right? Otherwise, no matter how good the soldier's teeth are, they will be broken one day! Xiao Ju still couldn't hold back after all, and when Xiao Sheng said that he didn't want to eat sand rice, he said this in a joking tone as if he was not smiling.

"Xiaoju, no way! Many of the cooks on our side are Southerners. They don't know how to buy millet and cook millet, so this little rice is either sand or hard! It's better now that I'm compiling, but I only found two cooks from the south in the cafeteria just now! You're going to have to eat this little rice with sand! Zhang Guomin's words were full of helplessness.

"Alas, Xiaoju! You don't know! The food here in Shandong is really unpalatable! The bread was hard as a stone, and it was used to smash people to death! It's not like your mother's cake, it's soft and fragrant! And those tortillas and corn tortillas, which are so rough that they can cut your throat when you swallow them! I can't stand this rough guy who is not a picky eater! Rayong sat aside and said with a sad face. He is really not a picky eater, he has been on a mission outside as an adult, and he has never suffered anything. I didn't expect it. As soon as he arrived in Shandong, his stomach began to become delicate.

When Xiao Ju heard Luo Yong's words, she secretly pursed her mouth in her heart, comparing the big pot of rice with the small stove made by her mother. There is already a gap. What's more, the wheat flour she eats at home is all from a small space. Although the grain crops grown in the small space do not produce any special variations, they taste much better than the grain crops outside. Rayong, this guy is embarrassed to say that he is not a picky eater?

"Is there such a strict zhòng?" Xiao Ju glanced at Zhang Guomin a few times, with inquiry in her eyes.

"No way! The soldiers of the Central China Field Army were all southerners. Get used to eating rice! However, we had no choice but to go north to enter Shandong after the base area was lost, so we had little to rely on for logistical supplies, so we, the southern soldiers who were accustomed to eating rice, encountered great difficulties in the Lunan mountainous base area, which was accustomed to eating pasta and miscellaneous grains.

Now many soldiers from the south are full of resentment, and there are more and more soldiers in the team who say strange things, Xiaoju, you don't know how uncomfortable those words are for us logistics people to listen to.

For example, some fighters grumbled: 'How? Winning battles every day, running north every day, the tortillas and small rice in the north are really unbearable. ''I was unlucky, counterattacked and counterattacked, and went to Shandong, with pancakes in one hand and green onions in the other, and I dreamed of returning to the Soviet Union. And I, the person in charge of logistics, was scolded so much that I wanted to hide and disappear! ”

"What a nasty thing to hear! Some of the soldiers in our special service battalion are still ugly, they have a love for being far away from home, and now they still eat these small rice with sand and chewing rattles every day, guess what they say? Chai Yi also had a sad face.

"How?" Xiao Ju hadn't asked yet, Zhuang Zhuang and Liu Yuan, who had been listening with relish, asked in unison.

"'My stomach eats like a sandbag, and I don't have to do fortifications in war!' Chai Yi said this sentence in a unique tone of southerners, which immediately made everyone present laugh, but after laughing, a different taste came to their hearts.

"Brother Zhang, it's not okay to go on like this! It has a big impact on morale! You have to find a way to solve this problem and make the food as edible as possible! Xiao Ju suppressed her smile and said to Zhang Guomin with a serious face.

"It's not that we don't want to solve it! But the crops on the Shandong side are wheat, corn and millet, and the Su-Anhui base area is now occupied by Lao Jiang's troops, and the price paid to get rice is not ordinarily large! Some time ago, the base area here in Shandong did everything possible to get some rice and send it over. But there are not many of them, and we have to strengthen the love of the fighters and actively guide them! Zhang Guomin said helplessly on his face.

"Brother Zhang, in fact, there are many things that can be improved in your logistics. For example, this little rice, although the soldiers are not used to eating small rice, if there is no sand in the small rice, no matter what, it will not be so uncomfortable to eat, right? You said that those southern cooks don't know how to buy millet, don't they learn from the local villagers? Although Xiao Ju said this with a smile, there was obviously dissatisfaction in her words.

"Comrade Zhang, I also want to say a fair word! The soldiers feel uncomfortable when they leave their homes, and the food is so hard to swallow, why don't you let them tell strange things? In fact, if you think the cake is hard and unpalatable, you can make the kitchen into steamed buns, and boil this millet into millet porridge, isn't it much more delicious? And it's not that dry and hard to swallow! Xiao Juniang, who finally swallowed the bowl of small rice with grit, couldn't help but pour out the thoughts in her heart.

"That's it! You can also make dumplings! The vegetarian dumplings made by Aunt Liu are very delicious! Paired with sauerkraut soup, the taste is simply delicious and makes people want to eat it! Rayong swallowed his saliva and hurriedly said in solidarity.

"There are also vegetable cakes, meat sandwich films, green onion cakes, and pumpkin cakes made by Aunt Liu...... We all love to eat, too! Liu Yuan, Zhou Limin, and Zheng Jiaojiao said in unison while drooling.

"Or, Xiaoju! How about letting your mother be the chef in the cooking class and instruct the cooks to cook these foods, so that the soldiers' food can be improved? Zhang Guomin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Xiaoju with eager eyes.

"This ......" Xiao Ju glanced at her mother with some hesitation, and saw that her mother had a longing in her eyes, so she smiled at Zhang Guomin, "You have to ask my mother about this matter!" If my mother agrees, I don't have a problem! ”

"I'm okay with that!" Zhuang Zhuang, who was sitting next to Xiao Ju Niang, was afraid that everyone would ignore him, so he immediately shouted. Looking at Zhuangzhuang's posture of being a family, everyone couldn't help laughing. (To be continued......)
