Southwest Guizhou.

Between the two mountains is a quiet town where time stops. The quaint stone pavement, the brick houses along the street, the tide of the times seems to have receded after just lighting up the electric lights here.

Hundreds of years ago, the government built a city here to deter bandits, and hundreds of years later it became a peaceful old man's city. Even those who rushed back from far and wide to visit their children outside the elders who lived here were not allowed to disturb the quiet.

Cars are parked outside the city gate, children are receiving gifts, high heels, leather shoes, crisp sounds on the ancient streets, children are already laughing and screaming and running towards the door, for them this is much more interesting than indifferent high-rise buildings, reinforced concrete, and the old city looks at their children lovingly and tolerates the noise.

There is a medical clinic on South Street, which is the quietest and most noisy place in the city.

The infirmary is a large area, and when you pass through the front hall, you will find a grove of small trees surrounded by high walls, each surrounded by several huts. The hospital stipulates that patients are not allowed to come into contact with each other, so there is no road between the woods, from the hall to the house, from the house to the hall, two points and one line.

"The outer hall is for diagnosis, and the inner house is for the heart" This is what Bai Chonglou's grandfather said when he opened the medical hall, so the Bai family has been expanding the courtyard for several generations, and nourishing the heart is more important than diagnosing the disease. At Bai Chonglou, as the number of young people moving out of the city decreased sharply, the expansion of their own courtyard stopped at this time.

There are fewer people in the city, but there are still many people competing for the Bai family's heart-raising forest. Whether it is an elderly man in Chinese clothes who stepped into the hospital under the protection of a group of suits and sunglasses, or an old man in plain clothes who was escorted here by soldiers with steel guns and leather boots, they will be obedient and obedient like children when they come here, and occupying a small room seems to have become the greatest pleasure in life.

In a bamboo forest near the front hall, there are two huge old locust trees, few branches, and occasionally a few left, gently swaying in the wind, looking very vigorous.

The woman in the plain robe in the hut sat on a small stool, her long hair was simply tucked away with a piece of bamboo, the hanging green silk was casually placed on her shoulders, the collar could not hide the snow-like skin, and her eyes were as elegant as water, staring at a small red clay stove, to be exact, the black sand pot on the small stove.

The shape of the sand pot is rustic, but it seems to be very elegant, with a rough body with an elegantly curved spout and a very chic handle. The medicine has been boiled. Wisps of steam rose into the air and then faded throughout the hut, filling the hut with a sobering medicinal scent.

She used a small towel to cushion the spout with one hand and the handle of the pot with the other hand, slowly tilted the sand pot, and the medicinal juice flowed out of the spout and poured into the white porcelain bowl covered with yellowish gauze, put water on it, and then boiled the second serving. Jade Hand gently placed the bowl on a wooden plank and walked towards Grandpa's hut with the plank.

Her name is Bai Ying, Bai Chonglou's granddaughter, and she returned to her family's hospital to help after finishing college. As the goddess of medical school, it is natural that there are countless males who show themselves in front of her, hoping to win the heart. However, let him be sincere and fiery, I purify my ice heart, she is Bai Ying, this herb is cold, and her cold temperament naturally ignores them.

As soon as Bai Ying walked through the woods, he heard the sound of talking from inside the house.

"Dad, you are so old, your body is not young anymore, you should pay attention to it, how dare you go to climb the mountain!"

"Ahem, cough, it's okay, it's okay, you see I've picked this rock yellow lotus, it's really good!"

"That's also the body, if something happens to you, can it heal you? And those patients of yours, what should you ask me and Xiaoying to do? ”

"Sister-in-law, you're here," Bai Ying greeted Xia Lan with a smile when she entered the house, "You persuade Grandpa well, he won't listen to me no matter what I say." ”

Xia Lan looked at that beautiful smiling face, and she would also be moved as a woman, let alone a man.

In fact, Xia Lan has more than once thought of taking in her daughter-in-law, she is beautiful, meticulous and steady, and gentle to her elders...... In the future, she will definitely be a virtuous wife, but when she thinks about her son, she feels a bit wasteful.

Alas! It's still uncomfortable to be so big, and I don't know how I'm doing in the army.

After drinking the medicine, Bai Chonglou asked: "Yesong went to college, this kid has been a scourge since he was a child, and he will definitely turn the sky upside down when he gets to college." ”

Bai Ying moved a small stool and sat aside, and when she heard her grandfather say Ye Song, she couldn't help but smile.

Xia Lan shook her head, sighed and said, "I didn't go to college, I went to be a soldier." ”

"Being a soldier? Whose idea is this, isn't the night family ......" Bai Chonglou frowned, and stopped talking.

"My mother made up her mind to let Komatsu join the army." Xia Lan said helplessly.

"My sister's idea?"

"yes, who else but my mother-in-law can make decisions for him?"

"Senior sister actually agreed, so she wants to ......" Bai Chonglou stroked his beard and muttered to himself.

Bai Ying also felt unbelievable that Yesong was a soldier, the hairy boy who was jumping around him and glaring at him before he stopped actually went to be a soldier, can the discipline of the army control him? Bai Ying took off the bamboo hairpin on his head, and the green silk instantly fell like a waterfall, and the jade hand gently rubbed the bamboo piece, and I didn't know what I remembered, but the white jade-like face was flushed with a shallow flush.

"It's almost time, I have to cook, dad, what do you want to eat?"

"As long as there is a dish of shallots mixed with tofu, anything else will do."

"After all these years, you still can't get tired of eating? Since you adopted me, I remember that there was a dish of shallots mixed with tofu on the table at noon that day. ”

"Tofu is a good thing, and you won't get tired of eating it for the rest of your life......"

……

"I hate tofu!"

Ye Song said hatefully to the quilt in front of him.

Folding the army quilt into a tofu block can be said to be a sign of a soldier, and all recruits are naturally required to learn how to fold it, and before learning how to fold it, they must also rub the quilt with a small bench in order to smooth out the folds on the quilt.

"The bench you use now is longer than my military age, and when I was a recruit, I used it to rub the quilt, and my hands were blistered with blood. A soldier is to endure hardships, how can he fight without hardship, he can't even conquer the quilt, and how can he hit the enemy......" Dai Jiang supervised the recruits (these two words should be separated) while rubbing the quilt while pointing out the country.

When he was "pointing out the country", he didn't know that the downstairs was already like a great enemy, the battalion commander, who had come to inspect.

Yang Zhigao, the commander of the second battalion of the new corps, has a violent temper and will scold when he sees something unpleasant, so the people who work under him are all walking on thin ice.

"You don't need so many people, just let Dong Zuotao accompany me, you all get busy!"

With a wave of Yang Zhigao's hand, the instructors, deputy company commanders, and platoon commanders of the Sixth Company left one after another, leaving the company commander Dong Zuotao standing there pitifully.

"Company Commander Dong, how are the quilts of the recruits in your company folded?" Yang Zhigao asked suddenly.

Dong Zuotao rarely went to the classes to check the situation, and usually it was the instructor Li Haoming who went upstairs to talk to the recruits.

"Hmm...... Most classes have already started to teach quilt folding, but a few classes are still stuck in the quilt rubbing stage. ”

Yang Zhigao nodded and said, "The progress is okay, let's go to each class to take a look." ”

The two came to the first class, half of the recruits in the first class had begun to learn to fold quilts, and the other half were still rubbing folds, Yang Zhigao frowned and walked to the other classes without speaking.

The situation in the second shift is similar to that of the first shift, half of the people who fold the quilt and half of the people who rub the quilt, and even fewer people who come to the third shift to fold the quilt, and the vast majority of recruits are still rubbing the quilt.

"Dong Zuotao! What's going on? You're not saying that most people are learning to fold, why are so many people still rubbing quilts? And those recruits who are learning to fold quilts, many of them have not smoothed out the folds, can they look good? ”

Dong Zuotao wiped his sweat and said: "They should be reworked for the second time, smoothing out the folds that I didn't notice the first time." ”

"Rework a hammer! There is not even a trace of folding on the quilt, open your eyes and talk nonsense! ”

Yang Zhi walked towards the other classes with high anger, and Dong Zuotao explained behind him: "They belong to special circumstances, and the classes in the back should be much better......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw everyone in Class 5 lying on the ground rubbing quilts, and many of them had a large number of folds on the quilts.

"Dong Zuotao! How do you explain this? Why are you still rubbing the quilt here? ”

"Their class was out of tolerance for a few days, so the progress was a little slower, and other classes are definitely not like this." Dong Zuotao sneered.

"! I see that the other classes are also a sex! I warn you Dong Zuotao, this weekend, the regiment headquarters will definitely check the internal affairs situation, if you are even arrested, you will wait to be punished! After speaking, Yang Zhigao left angrily.

Dong Zuotao sighed and said to Dai Jiang: "You also heard it, this weekend's housekeeping competition." In other words, you have four days to be more efficient! ”

After the company commander left, Dai Jiang scratched his head, thinking of ways to improve efficiency, when Ye Song, who was lying on the ground and rubbing the quilt, suddenly asked.

"Squad leader, is the housekeeping evaluation better than whose quilt is not wrinkled or whose 'tofu block' is folded?"

"It's all comparable, but the main thing is to stack better than whom, what's wrong?" Whenever he talked to Ye Song, Dai Jiang unconsciously trembled, and when he talked to him in the past, he not only did not succeed but talked about psychological shadows.

"Look, squad leader, since the main comparison is to fold the quilt, and it is much more difficult to fold the quilt than to rub the quilt well, why don't we save the time of rubbing the quilt and use it to learn how to fold the quilt?"

"How to save? Folds are not allowed on the stack of 'tofu cubes'. ”

"We can collectively buy an electric iron, won't the time be saved, then we will have more time to learn to fold quilts, then the internal quality of the new corps will be the first in our class!"

"Well, you have a point......
