When the car finally reached its destination, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard from afar, and the men were lined up in two rows to welcome the arrival of the three female soldiers, who applauded and looked at them with strange eyes, until they saw them blushing and a little embarrassed.

It was the company commander and instructor who shook hands with them: "Welcome, welcome." "You've worked hard, you're tired, aren't you? ”

Because the weather was very cold, after a simple welcome ceremony, the newspaper squad leader Gai Binghua led them to the dormitory, which is a room close to the company headquarters, which can fit four beds, because the company has female soldiers who come here for internship and training every year, so it is specially prepared for female soldiers.

The room is clean, each bed is covered with thick straw mats, and near the window is a long wall of fire, and you can feel the heating as soon as you walk into the room. What made them ecstatic the most was that there was a pot of flowers on the windowsill, with green leaves and blue petals, although it was winter, it was still blooming beautifully.

They gathered around to watch, and Xiong Yan asked, "What kind of flower is this?" It's pretty good. ”

Ye Hong smiled and pointed at Fu Orchid, but she didn't say it.

Fu Lanhua patted Ye Hong's finger and said, "What are you doing with me?" I don't have the surname Ma. ”

Xiong Yan was confused, and asked anxiously, "What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing?" What is this flower called? ”

Fu Lanhua smiled and said, "It's called Ma Lanhua." ”

"Oh, no wonder Ye Hong is pointing at you." Xiong Yan asked again: "Why is it called Ma Lanhua?" ”

Fu Lanhua was so angry that she pointed her nose and said, "Silly girl, why are you called Xiong Yan?" Hee-hee...... Let me tell you, Ma Lanhua is also called Phalaenopsis, orchid grass, etc., it has many names, it is salt and alkali tolerant, adaptable, especially in the grassland, it is not picky about the environment, it is easy to grow, and the flowering period is also very long. ”

I don't know which careful comrade deliberately placed it, but there may be some other meaning in this.

The work of the newspaper class is not simple to say, and it is not too complicated to say that it is complicated, and the instructions are transmitted up and down with the sound of "Di Di Da Da" every day. But there is one very important thing, that is, the sending and receiving must be accurate, without the slightest deviation and omission, otherwise it will cause a big accident, and even cause irreparable disasters, so every operator is required to complete every sending and receiving task carefully and meticulously. Of course, these are the requirements and admonitions that Gai Binghua's squad leader made to them when he told them about discipline.

These days, the atmosphere in the company is unusually lively, because of the three comrades of the opposite sex? The main reason is that living and working in the company in remote areas is very monotonous, and it is even more difficult to see the appearance of female compatriots, and many male soldiers often refer to their company as "monk's temple". Therefore, their arrival undoubtedly added a joyful color to the company, according to the male soldiers: this is called an extra scenery.

However, in their "living area" and "work area", it has almost become a "forbidden area" for male soldiers. All the male compatriots in the company seem to have complied with this unwritten "rules and discipline", and for many days, almost no one has stepped into their "forbidden area" except for the necessary work.

Even when eating in the canteen, only the three of them were at one table, and the squad leader Gai Binghua also had to squeeze to the table of another squad to eat, and they heard the male soldiers muttering from time to time, and they vaguely felt that these male soldiers threw curious glances at them from time to time, even voyeuristic glances.

In the face of the male soldiers' expressions on them, as soon as they returned to the dormitory, they often took it as a joke. The three of them laughed and talked about what they had heard and seen, Xiong Yan said: "I went to the toilet today, and when I came back, those soldiers and men saw me like they saw ghosts, dodging, and it was really boring. ”

Ye Hong smiled and said, "It's not a ghost, they saw your goddess." ”

Fu Lanhua said thoughtfully: "Don't make trouble, listen to me." You see, even the squad leader seems to be wary of us, except for staring at us when sending and receiving, he is usually afraid to be with us, I think it is very abnormal to go on like this, we seem to have a great sense of distance from our comrades. No, we must first talk to the squad leader, and we must understand his and his comrades' views and understanding of our female soldiers. ”

For Fu Lanhua's proposal, Ye Hong and Xiong Yan agreed very much, so they found Gai Binghua, and in the conversation, they finally learned from the squad leader's words that there are newly recruited female soldiers here every year to intern, but they can stay for three months at most and then return to the army.

There is another reason for the considerable distance between them, that is, the so-called "men and women do not kiss each other" is playing tricks. In fact, the male soldiers welcomed the arrival of the female soldiers from the bottom of their hearts, and also hoped that the company could add more "brilliance", so as to achieve the effect of "the same thing".

After finding the problem, Fu Lanhua and the three went to talk to the company commander and instructor again, and expressed their determination to take root in the company.

Fu Lanhua said on behalf of the female soldiers: "I want to be like Ma Lanhua, as long as I need to, I will always be rooted in the company." ”

The leaders of the company were very appreciative of their positive attitude, but the instructor said: "It is very good that you have this understanding, and as for the question of going or staying in the future, the superiors will arrange it, and of course we will also reflect your opinions and requirements to the superiors." For now, all you need is to do your job seriously and steadfastly. ”

This lukewarm "big truth" made Fu Lanhua never forget, and she secretly decided: As long as she is still a soldier, she will never leave the company.

In order to break the embarrassing situation of the male soldiers and them, and to enliven the cultural life of the company, Fu Lanhua had a preliminary idea.

In the evening, when they were lying and chatting, she discussed with the two girls and said, "I want to do a good deed for Lianli, I wonder if you would like me to do it with you?" ”

Ye Hong asked, "What's the matter?" Let's hear it. ”

"You see, in addition to being on duty, training, standing guard, working, etc., my comrades-in-arms either write letters or play poker in their spare time, and then they just watch TV or something, all the same, and there is no other spare time and hobbies at all. And I paid attention to a few black newspapers in the company, which were all outdated and nothing new. So I pondered......" Fu Lanhua pushed Xiong Yan and said, "Isn't Xiong Yan very fond of painting?" Ye Hong, let's be responsible for writing the manuscript, and we will wrap up all the blackboard newspapers of the company together, do you say it's okay? ”

"Great!" Xiong Yan was the first to agree, and she sighed: "Alas, if this is the case, I finally have a place to use." ”

"In addition, Ye Hong takes out your housekeeping skills, you can read music, can you teach your comrades to sing."

"Let's try it, I don't know if the leaders of the company support it?" Ye Hong didn't seem to be very enthusiastic, she said, "Besides, you don't have anything to get any things?" ”

"Isn't there something you can bring to you?"

"Where's the money?"

"We have a perk."

"Haha, forget it, is that enough for a few dollars? You don't buy anything? ”

"Hold on, use mine first." Fu Lanhua asked: "Don't be objective first, do you do it or not?" ”

Ye Hong said lazily: ", I obeyed the order, right?" ”

"Alright, let's go to the instructor together." The three girls came to the company headquarters to explain their ideas, and the company commander and instructor immediately applauded and promised to give them their full support. When they heard this, they burst into tears of joy.

The first festival they came to the company, New Year's Day, was very different from previous years, not just a meal, a drink class and a few dishes. At the initiative of the three girls, with the support of the company and the help of the male soldiers, they wrote slogans, hung lanterns, organized song competitions, poetry competitions, knowledge competitions, etc., making a dull New Year's Day colorful, prosperous, and lively; Singing and laughter came and went......

The girls' efforts were not in vain, and they were well received by the leaders and comrades-in-arms. No, the Lianli branch meeting unanimously agreed to give them a commendation. When the news came, the girls were overjoyed and actually twisted Yangge in the dormitory.

Everyone knows that it is precisely because of the three lovely girls that they brought spring-like warmth and happiness to the company, and the male soldiers secretly nicknamed them: Three Horse Orchids. But they liked it and were willing to accept it.

After New Year's Day, which is the Spring Festival, the instructor gave them a task, that is, to have another party during the Spring Festival, so that the comrades-in-arms can have a festive and joyful New Year.

Just when they were in high spirits and began to prepare, Wang Yao suddenly came, for Fu Lanhua, he is not a relative, but he is not an outsider, after all, his father and his father are old comrades-in-arms, and he also called his father uncle, so it should be his brother.

Fu Lanhua couldn't be happy about his arrival anyway, not just because of his mother's prejudice against him, but because she was afraid that he would mess up his quiet military camp life, she didn't need to be stingy, let alone special care, and she didn't have too much extravagance, she just wanted to spend a rare military career in peace and health.

As a courtesy, she agreed to talk to him together. Ye Hong and Xiong Yan ran to the studio with interest, and only she and Wang Yao were left in the room.

Fu Lanhua's mood is very complicated, I don't know what he wants to talk to her? She faced the window and looked up at the sky. The sky was overcast, with the occasional few scattered snowflakes; The cold northwest wind with a whistling sound scraped against the ground "whoosh", and puffs of dust and smoke rose on the ground; The withered grass branches shook in the wind, and it looked like a blizzard was coming.

After a while, he said, "I have good news for you." ”

She didn't squeak, still quietly looking out the window. The snow is getting heavier and heavier.
