Chapter 17: A Happy Sunday

Relaxing time passes quickly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBefore I knew it, there was only one day left of the week.

"What is the difference between us soldiers and soldiers, since I left my hometown, it is difficult to see my father and mother."

"It's the same when it comes to saying it's different, it's all the years of youth, and they're all hot-blooded."

"It's the same to say it's different, the same footprints, leaving the mountains and rivers long."

In the early morning of Sunday, instead of the hurried whistle that I am used to hearing on weekdays, I used a classic army ballad "We Are Soldiers". It is particularly different, adding a different charm to the first rest day since this recruit entered the company.

In the early morning of this day, there was no stern urging from the squad leader, no noisy footsteps, and no overwhelmed "squeak" sound of bunk single beds. This made the recruits, who had slowly become familiar with the tense rhythm of the army after a week, a little dazed.

Xie Heilong propped up his upper body, leaned on the head of the bed, looked at the other recruits in the first class with sleepy eyes, and muttered a little confused: "It's finally time to rest for a day." Isn't it possible to get a good night's sleep? Do you want to lie down again? ”

"The first class of recruits, get up. Although he is resting today, a soldier must look like a soldier, and it is not allowed to lie in bed in the army. Hurry up and wash your face, finish breakfast, and take everyone to the street. "The squad leader who came back after washing his face was very energetic. Comparing with these bed-ridden recruits, it's easy to see the difference between the two, and the veteran is worthy of being a veteran.

There was no morning exercise on Sunday, so there was half an hour of washing time, which was enough for everyone to clean up.

"Let's go, the little fat man gets up and washes his face." The beautiful idea was ruthlessly shattered by the squad leader. Xie Heilong stretched his waist and yawned to the little fat man on the bed next to him.

"Brother Long, your old man doesn't seem to have slept well. Why don't we lie down a little longer? The little fat man also yawned and half-squinted. While lazily dressing up, he proposed to Xie Heilong.

"Sleep with a hammer, wait until you oversleep, and the two of us will have something to play." Tang Longbing's suggestion is right for Xie Heilong's appetite! But when I think of the black face of the squad leader, I have a bad feeling.

"Also, the squad leader said to take us out on the street later. After a week in this lump, people are going crazy. ”

"Really? What did the squad leader say just now? Haha, that's a good thing! Hey, Huang Wenqiang. Hurry up and let's go shopping together. Tang Longbing, who had been squinting and sleepwalking just now, instantly came to his senses, patted Huang Wenqiang's bed board on his upper bunk, and shouted excitedly.

Xie Heilong, who was the first to get up, stood in front of the military appearance mirror, dressed in the recruit training uniform for more than a week, and rubbed his face a few times with both hands, trying to make himself look more energetic.

"Little fat man, you be the vanguard, wash up." Seeing that the three of them were almost dressed, Xie Heilong pulled Huang Wenqiang and said to Tang Longbing, who was tying his shoes.

Walking in the camp, "two people in a row, three or more in a column." "This is the rule of the recruit camp, and this is also to exercise the unity and cooperation of the recruits, and the uniform obedience.

After breakfast, you can see small queues everywhere, and the whole three figures shuttle. Everyone had an excited look on their faces!

"Toot toot toot...... Three companies of recruits, except for the sentry, everyone gathered in the playground. ”

At eight o'clock, the watchman's whistle sounded on time.

"One class, it's all there, come with me."

"Second shift, third shift..."

The recruits of each squad, led by the squad leader, rushed out of the dormitory and ran towards the assembly position.

Soldiers of the entire third company of recruits, including veterans. It's all the same attire.

On the left is a military kettle, and on the right is a military satchel. The bag contained toiletries and a change of underwear and socks, which were also instructed by the company commander to be carried when eating in the cafeteria. As for some special items for personal needs, it is not known.

"Report to Comrade Company Commander, the third company of recruits, there should be 124 people, but there are 122 people, two sentry posts, please instruct."

"Departure"

"Squeak.... Under the order of the company commander, the big iron gate of the company, which had been closed for a week, was slowly opened to both sides under the impetus of the sentry. With a happy mood, everyone in the recruit company embarked on the usual and unusual road to the streets!

The town closest to the third company of recruits is called Gandong Town. Seriously, it is just a bazaar, located within the Chinese border zone near Vietnam, within a radius of 50 miles, without any towns or streets.

However, people from nearby villages need to exchange daily necessities, so every Friday, each family brings something with them. Swap and sell to each other in an intermediate location that is convenient for everyone.

Slowly, a small street barely called a town was formed here!

"Hey, Xie Heilong, what do you think of today's breakfast." Since the third company of recruits is relatively far away from Gandong Town, it is nearly 8 kilometers away. So the company didn't stipulate the standard of marching, and it had been going on for half an hour, Huang Wenqiang seemed a little unable to hold back, and said to Xie Heilong beside him.

Xie Heilong was holding a nameless straw pole on the side of the road in his mouth, holding his head and looking around, looking very bored. A mind full of cranky thoughts

"It's been so long, this way. There is not a single ghost shadow. At a glance, apart from the mountain, it is still a mountain. It's such a remote place. ”

Hearing Huang Wenqiang's words, he casually spit out the straw that was biting a little bitter, swallowed his throat, and said with a feeling of aftertaste: "Don't say it, after eating noodles for a week, this morning's steamed buns are really delicious." For the first time, I thought the steamed buns were so delicious. It's a pity, I just didn't eat enough, too little. ”

After saying that, he couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing.

"Damn, Brother Long, don't play like this. You ate 5 of them, and you robbed me of one. I'm not too little, and your appetite is too good. As soon as he heard Xie Heilong's words, the little fat man behind him stopped following him, and hurriedly cut the line to Xie Heilong's right, looking embarrassed, and said that he had robbed him of a steamed bun, and he looked like a victimized little daughter-in-law.

"Little fat man, I'm here for your own good. You are a grace and will take revenge. When Xie Heilong saw Xiao Tang Longbing, he still remembered the matter of snatching steamed buns, and he defended with a strong face.

"Brother Long, I'm still growing my body, where can I eat enough for three steamed buns, so I ate several bowls of porridge. There's no sugar at all, and now the beak can fade out of the bird. ”

For fat people, eating is a very important thing, the tone of the poor baba's speech, the aggrieved expression on his face. I don't know, I thought that Xie Heilong had done something to him.

"Tang Longbing, are you hungry? Dude, I've got something good. Huang Wenqiang, who was walking next to him, heard the words of the little fat man, patted his satchel, and said to him with a mysterious face.
