Xin Xiaoer ordered several dishes, including the local famous dish roast suckling pig, but this dish was recently banned by the officials of the East Gate, and the East Gate Blowing Rain is a land in the East Gate Market, I don't know who gave him such a nickname for jokingly, and then the natives also called it so.

"The big officials of the East said that it is a waste to eat piglets, and they have to be raised before eating.

You don't have to play tricks, you have to pay an additional tax, which is enough to eat ten little pigs. The man said, "You see, that's not true." We also have barbecue meat on the oven. The taste is good, even Master Liu loves it, small

"Okay, let's have a barbecue, Ruan Xiaoer said.

The three brothers have not met for a long time, and it is rare to have such a chance to get together and drink and talk about their hearts. Everyday, people's lives are very full, which is completely different from the past: at that time, they were busy looking for a livelihood every day, running around all day long, and they had to endure all kinds of hardships. The current busyness makes them feel that their lives have meaning.

Ruan Xiaoer is already very comfortable with manipulating the heavy artillery on the beacon tower, and he is now a backbone sergeant. New coastal gunners were being trained, and two new heavy guns were brought in from the naval range, and it was not known where they were going to be installed. But the order of the gunners above was urgent.

Ruan Xiaoer is very good at manipulating artillery, and he is also good at training recruits, and he has made a set of maneuvering mantras himself, turning the process and key points of manipulation in various small battle positions into smooth talk. This is not easy to do, because although Li Di supports his approach, the mantra must be "new words." said that Ruan Xiaoer originally made up Cantonese smoothly and became unpleasant.

A few days after he raised this question, Xiao Li Di found Wang Tao for him. Wang Tao is half a professional opera actor, and it is still very easy to make up a smooth speech in Mandarin. This set of formulas is used as it is compiled, and it has received good results. After Li Di reported to Chen Haiyang, he decided to promote the model. For this, Nguyen Xiaoer also received a People's Commissar of the Navy commendation order.

Ruan Xiaoqi has not only studied mathematics, geometry, physics and other "advanced" knowledge, but also often goes to the machinery factory for internships to understand the structure and operation principle of steam engines. The hull structure of a fishing vessel in the field. Learn about the effects of waves on different ship types in the large pool of the navy.

All this has opened an unprecedented door for this little fisherman's child. Ruan Xiaoqi felt extremely excited, he absorbed all the knowledge instilled in him like a sponge. Sometimes it's because the basics are too poor. Indigestion is inevitable. He relied on his memory to swallow the record alive. Soon Ruan Xiaoqi became one of the best students in the junior class of naval non-commissioned officers.

Everything that a child at this age likes has left him uninterested. All my spare time is spent studying. His favorite. It is a top-secret picture book that can only be borrowed from the library with the student ID card of a naval non-commissioned officer, and it is not allowed to be taken out of the reading room. This kind of picture album is unique to Australians, everything is lifelike, and it contains warships that only the Australian navy has. The giant ship of steel, the cannon thicker than a person, "every time it makes Ruan Xiaoqi fascinated."

This series of albums publicizing the incomparable might of the Crossing Group was created by a special group in the Propaganda Department. Specially designed to brainwash the future indigenous elites that the crossing group is preparing to focus on cultivating, the pictures are all selected and compared, and the content that is inconvenient to explain has been removed. There are also standards when choosing the content of the picture, for example, the highest grade of the battleship in the navy album is only at the level of the former dreadnought before the sun. And only a handful of them have appeared from beginning to end. The catalogue features a large number of sail battleships and old sail steam engine hybrid ships, in order to avoid giving the Aboriginal the impression that Australian technology is regressed. In this way, it will be possible to advertise that dreadnoughts, aircraft carriers, and submarines were invented by the Crossing Group. Of course, the captions of the pictures are all fiction. Written by Lin Shenhe. However, in order to avoid the expository essay being overly ornately written, it will conflict with the future fabricated history of Australia. He was asked to be as vague and simplified as possible. lest there be too many loopholes to be filled in the future. There is no mention of the year or date. so as not to affect the compilation of historical books in the future.

The experiences of the three brothers are varied. But at this moment, they reunited after a long absence, and they didn't know where to start for a thousand words: the concept of secrecy instilled in them by the Navy prevented the Ruan brothers from talking about the career that excited them.

Not knowing what to say, the three of them turned their gaze to the street outside the window of the private room.

Dongmen City has now become a small town. Thousands of immigrants were brought in from the mainland, expanding the customer base, and the wages paid by the small crossing group to employees, laborers, and local suppliers provided the material basis for business prosperity. The vitality brought by the bustling market not only attracted many local people to settle in the vicinity, but also many people from the mainland: small traders, bankrupt "two people", unemployed men, and down-to-earth women with many surnames came to Dongmen City. I hope to get a piece of this prosperity.

The streets of Dongmen City have gradually been occupied by houses, and there is not much vacant land left. Because of the rules and regulations, not only did there be space for shops, pedestrians, and vehicles, but also reserved space for the vendors who set up stalls, and the lattices were drawn with white lines. Some wastelands can also be set up with sheds and stalls.

Newly planted coconut tree saplings on both sides of the street, using biogas from public toilets and garbage disposal stations, Wang Luobin installed biogas street lamps in the streets of Xiaodongmen City, and recently built a gasifier to make gas to supplement the original gas supply, sometimes with more and sometimes less gas.

Relying on the full supply of gas, not only did the street lights extend from the main road of Dongmen Street to the side roads, but many large shops that were willing to pay for the connection were also installed with gas lights. At the time of planning, a large sewer was built under the street surface, which played a great role in the exhaust gas pipe. If it weren't for the restriction of pipeline manufacturing in order to save steel, Wang Luobin originally wanted to completely turn the entire Dongmen City into a matchmaker.

Even so, the night lighting of the entire Dongmen City is bright.

The lanterns lit by dim old-fashioned candles have disappeared from the lighting system of Dongmen City, except for decorative purposes. Even if there are still people lighting candles, it is much brighter "Australian wax".

Cheap and bright lighting not only brought security benefits, but also made the night market that Lingao had never been before prosperous, changing the sunset lifestyle habits of many people. The members of the Bairen Commune have become accustomed to coming here with their families after dinner. Some women even bring needlework to the street lamps in the East Market to do it.

Under the bright butterfly lights, the vendors and men soliciting business are shouting loudly, and all kinds of food stalls are lined up, looking warm and comfortable.

"It's not the same as it used to be." Ruan Xiaoer was the first to break the silence. "When we arrived in Lingao, Dongmen City was almost a wasteland except for a commercial hall, and there were few shops, all of which were stalls."

"yes. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. So big. Ruan Xiaowu said. Recalling the appearance of the three of their brothers when they came to high school, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Our brothers don't even have clothes. ”

The obituary has no clothes at all, and he comes with his bare ass and exposed eggs. ”

Ruan Xiaoqi's face turned red: "Second brother, are you wearing clothes?" A rag that covers the front and the back bare. "Speaking of which, when the chiefs came to purify us, they still looked at our fart, well, later, I thought we were going to be rabbits. I guess this chief wants too many rabbits. ”

"Haha." Three, everyone laughed together. The embarrassment and fear of the year. When I recall it proudly, not only is there no pain. On the contrary, I enjoy the sweetness of success more.

"Lingao is such a great place." Ji Buqi said.

"It should be said that our luck is not bad. You can meet the chiefs. Ruan Xiaoer said.

"Who would have thought that our brothers could be like this today, sitting in this big restaurant and watching the dinner" Ruan Xiaoxiao Er looked at the table full of wine and food and sighed, "If my father and mother can live, I don't know how happy I should be." ”

As he spoke, he picked up his glass and spilled it on the ground. The three of them were silent, and a distant sorrow emerged from everyone's heart, and the faces of those dead relatives seemed to still be in front of them.

Ruan Xiaoer filled the wine glasses of the three of them again. Everyone started chatting again.

Judge Xiao Wu, you are developed now! Ruan Xiaoer patted his brother's shoulder, "When I see you later, you will be called, sir." Finish. ”

"Big brother laughed." Ruan Xiaowu was a little embarrassed, "I don't dare." ”

"In the army, you just talk about the rules of the army." Ruan Xiaoer said, "Our instructor used to say that even if a soldier is a grandfather and an officer is a grandson, the grandfather has to salute the grandson. That's called discipline. ”

"Well, if only I had one." Ruan Xiaoqi was very interested in the second brother's officer dagger, and pulled out the saber and looked at it again, full of joy.

"It's almost coming, waiting for you to graduate. You can become an officer after a few months of internship on the ship. This short sword was given by Chief Wen himself! I don't know if you'll have this luck in the future. ”

"We don't know when we'll graduate." Ruan Xiaoqi said, "The teacher said that it takes many years to study the navy. We'll have to wait at least three or four years. It's like you, second brother, and now you're going to be the captain. When will I be able to become a captain? ”

"Haha, you're such a silly boy." Ruan Xiaoer is several years older, and he can see farther than his brothers. "Although you are studying now is also called the non-commissioned officer class, you read a lot. I've heard what Chief Li said. You will all be of great use in the future. Maybe you'll be promoted faster than Xiao Wu. ”
