When the shooting training is over, the recruit training is about to end.

On weekend mornings, Uncle Ma asked Ma Li to come to the camp to find Yu Songyuan and invite them to be guests at noon, and Uncle and Aunt Ma wanted to see off Class 6. Chen Weitong went to the company headquarters to ask for leave, and the battalion commander was discussing the division of troops at the company headquarters. Camp Commander Zhang said to Chen Weitong, "Forget it at noon, you tell Xiaoma to change it to evening." Tell him and say what I said, I want them to cook more dishes, Uncle Ma's wine, we also want to drink. ”

Ma Li went back happily.

In the evening, Yu Songyuan brought gifts and eleven brothers from the sixth class, and of course, Lin Tao and Lin Zhumin to visit the guests vigorously. When I went to Uncle Ma's house, I saw that the small courtyard was lit up with lights, like the New Year.

Uncle Ma's whole family put on their new clothes for the New Year and stood at the gate of the courtyard to greet them. What is particularly eye-catching is Nanyun's sister-in-law, who is originally beautiful, and deliberately wore the red wedding dress when she got married.

Everyone entered the courtyard, first all to the main house, Yu Songyuan presented the gift, it turned out to be a tank model welded with copper bullet shells and shell copper skin, polished to the whole body, with a small basin and the size. The uncle's whole family was overjoyed, and they obviously liked this gift.

At the shooting range, when Yu Songyuan and Lin Tao were shooting and aiming training, they slipped away for two days, hid in a larger cave, and used the tools, bullets, and shells in the cave to make tanks, but they were caught by Battalion Commander Zhang. "Battalion commander, we want to make a tank model for the future grandson of the landlord Uncle Ma's family."

", Nanyun isn't pregnant, how do you know it must be a grandson? What if it's a granddaughter? Girls don't like tanks and planes. ”

"What then? You're not going to let us do it halfway, are you? ”

"Make two, one for Nanyun, let Ma Li and her take a look at this tank before running errands every day, and add more oil, and they will definitely be able to give birth to a boy." The other one will be put in the camp headquarters for the time being, and will be brought to the 'ghost' brigade headquarters in the future. ”

Now, another tank, lying at the battalion headquarters, is lying on a filing cabinet in the battalion commander's office. The one given to Uncle Ma's family was placed on the kang table, shining in the light.

"Sister-in-law, the battalion commander said, the tank will be put in the bedroom of you and Brother Ma Li, so that you can ...... every morning and evening You have to read it carefully, so that you can give birth to a boy. Lin Tao said seriously. He almost said the battalion commander's original words, but the words changed again in his throat.

Nanyun himself was wearing a red wedding dress, and when he heard this, his face turned even redder, but he said very generously, "Okay, okay, then put us in the bedroom, we will definitely have a boy in the future, and let him go to the army with his uncle when he grows up!" ”

After giving the gifts, I started to serve the kang table. Before the leader came, Yu Songyuan and his friends naturally sat down in the main house, accompanied by Uncle Ma to drink tea and eat snacks. The wing room was accompanied by Ma Li, drinking tea and eating snacks. In this mountain, drinking tea is a very solemn etiquette, to put four kinds of snacks, and then make tea, the male host accompanies the guests to symbolically drink tea and eat some snacks. And women can't serve on the table, so they can only add tea and pour water under the kang and wait.

The tea is homemade apple blossom tea. Put the tea in the teacup first, pour boiling water, and let it simmer for ten minutes. Just after eating snacks and drinking tea, another guest arrived outside, and said loudly in the courtyard: "Uncle Ma, let's also come to rub a bowl of fruit wine to drink, welcome?" ”

Everyone hurriedly went out to greet them, it turned out that it was really the battalion commander, instructor and Instructor Chen, and the secretary of the department behind carried two bags of rice, a large pig's head, and almost half a piece of pork with several veterans of the cooking class.

The uncle shook hands with the battalion commander, saw that he had brought so much rice and meat, and said politely, "Battalion commander, instructor, Instructor Chen, you are all distinguished guests, you can come to the small courtyard as a guest, our ancestors have a light on their faces, and things are absolutely unacceptable." The eldest lady also tried her best to refuse.

Camp Commander Zhang said: "Uncle, auntie, take the things first, and we'll talk about this later." Now, I'm all hungry, and they all say that the wine made by the uncle is delicious, and the tea is fragrant, but today we all came on an empty stomach. ”

The uncle hurriedly invited them to sit on the kang, Fan Jinyou, Jiang Nanguang and others wanted to slip into the wing, and the instructor said, "I was about to settle accounts with you, none of them were allowed to go, so they all sat down." "That's when everyone sat down.

The eldest lady and Nanyun's sister-in-law hurriedly served the food, all of which were delicacies from the mountains and seas, all of which were well-known hard dishes, and the uncle opened the fruit wine that had been sealed for many years, and the mellow and sweet aroma of the wine immediately permeated the entire courtyard, and the gluttony insects were immediately aroused, and before they drank it, everyone was drunk.

Zheng Baogang is a talent and a pen at the station, but he is good at this. He sighed that the people in the village said that Uncle Ma's wine was good, and it was really worthy of its reputation. I haven't had a good mouthful, but today I can finally get drunk and rest.

Everyone poured wine, and the uncle said happily: "There are recruits here every year, and all the villagers in Ximotang, this year's recruits, said yes." Later, I learned that they were all from the old area of northern Jiangsu, so it was no wonder that they were all close to us. And it's one in a million, all heroes. We are also an old area here, thinking that there were devils on the mountain back then, and Commander Yu Deshui dared to live in our village. Come, we have done everything we have done for the country laid for our ancestors! ”

When the recruits were educated, when the instructors and instructors were all in political education, they talked about "Bitter Cauliflower", "Spring Flower", "Mountain Chrysanthemum", and talked about Deshui, Feng Damiang and Juanzi girl. So, with infinite reverence for Aunt Feng's great mother, everyone solemnly drank the wine.

Everyone, you came and I made a few bowls of wine, and the battalion commander explained his intention, "Uncle Ma, I'm here tonight, not all to join in the fun, but also to get down to business." Your old apples are good, and the fruit wine you brew is better, in the future, we will be your relatives in 186, and we will purchase apples and fruit wine at a fixed point. In addition, if you want to set up a factory in the future, we can invest. ”

As soon as the battalion commander finished saying this, Yu Songyuan and other dead friends were even happier than the uncle, and everyone picked up the wine bowl and worked with the uncle. Needless to say, the uncle's family is naturally even more happy.

Zheng Baogang said, "Uncle, we bought the defective apples you sold us, and we bought them at two cents a catty. But you are mixing a large number of high-quality fruits into it, and the affection of your whole family, we understand it. Therefore, the battalion commander and I brought this thing tonight to express our respect for you and the whole family. Everyone said, should the uncle accept it? ”

Everyone was emotional and said in unison, the. The uncle and the eldest lady were polite now, and then they took the things Nanyun just came in to serve the food, and the battalion commander said, "Brother Nanyun, you came just in time." I was about to say something to you, I have done all the information, your two twin sisters, one is called Nanyu and the other is called Nanfeng, they are both teachers, and they don't have any in-laws, right? ”

Nanyun's sister-in-law smiled and said, "Ah, Du Normal just graduated. No wonder you brought the big pig's head for this purpose. ”

"The young cadres of my army are trained intensively, how can they have time to find a partner, they are all twenty-eight or nineteen years old and single, I will say hello to you first, and they can choose the young cadres at will. The best two, who have been wandering around Shijie for a few years, are in their thirties, and now they have been rebuilt. I want to keep them in a match. The battalion commander said seriously.

The eldest lady said, "The battalion commander is really a good eye, these three flowers of the Nan family are loved by everyone, and their vision is very high, I don't know how many people are staring at them." ”

Nanyun also said, "I am willing to be a matchmaker, but my two sisters are very spicy, they are both normal graduates, and their vision is at the top, and ordinary people are afraid that they can't help it." As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Songyuan, Lin Tao, and Lin Zhumin, intentionally or unintentionally.

The battalion commander said, "Don't worry about these recruits, you won't be qualified until they are promoted, and that will be a few years later." I'm the best guy, and I'm basically a cadre above the platoon level. The two I protect are currently at the deputy regiment level, first-class heroes. You take the pig's head first, I heard that they are all assigned to a school? ”

Nanyun said, "Ah, they are all in No. 8 Middle School, one teaches English and the other teaches Chinese. Battalion commander, don't worry, if these two people are really as good as they say, I will also protect this matchmaker. ”

The battalion commander said, "Okay, then it's decided." During the Spring Festival, we organized a military-civilian party, and asked them to invite all the unmarried female teachers of the Education Bureau to meet them officially. Uncle and aunt and you two also go and let them go on a blind date on the spot, and you are responsible for Officer Chen. ”

Instructor Chen said happily, "Haode will take a seat, and I will send a car to pick up the uncle's family and the female teachers." ”

Zheng Baogang said, "Okay, the business is over, it's time to settle accounts with you." The battalion commander told me that you were responsible for the theft of the canteen, and we also know about the specific people. Confess, who did it? Don't tell me you don't know. ”

Several people were silent.

Zheng Baogang also said, "I took the initiative to say that I was exempted from the crime, and the meeting was held to punish the matter." Those who refuse to confess will be expelled from the army and sent back to their hometowns, and they will not be able to raise their heads in the township from then on. These words were said in a loud and serious manner, and the atmosphere at the scene began to be a little depressing, and the uncle and aunt and Nanyun Ma Li were too frightened to speak.

Instructor Chen also said, "This is a matter of principle, give you ten minutes." Those who fail to report what they know about it shall also be punished in the same way. As soon as the time is up, we will execute it. As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Camp Commander Zhang picked up a bowl of wine and said, "Uncle and aunt, just a few of us can drink and watch the excitement." As he spoke, he glanced at the uncle, and when the uncle understood, he stopped pleading with them and happily drank and chatted with the battalion commander.

Instructor Chen looked at his watch and said, "There are seven minutes left...... Three minutes...... "The air in the room seemed to explode, and the ignition was ignited, and everyone's nerves were tense.

"And zuihou ten seconds, one, two, three......" The eldest lady looked at everyone nervously, and Nagumo also covered her mouth with her hand.

Instructor Liu said, "It's time! The hearts of Yu Songyuan, Lin Tao and his friends were all beating "boom", everyone pretended to be casual on the surface, but in fact, they were waiting for the instructor to announce the punishment decision.

Zheng Baogang and the battalion commander took the lead in laughing, and the recruits looked at them in shock, and Instructor Liu said, "Recruits, look at your bear-like appearance, all of them are blue. The eldest lady and Nanyun understood what was going on, and they both breathed a long sigh of relief.

The instructor took everyone to drink a bowl of wine, "A group of fools, you think you are doing it cleverly and secretly, but in fact, your every move is under the nose of the battalion commander. ”

The battalion commander said, "Punishment is still inevitable, tomorrow morning, classes six and eleven, armed off-road, ten kilograms of sandbags, ten kilometers." Seeing Lin Zhumin snickering gloatingly on the side, he said, "Plus three classes!" Lin Zhumin was so frightened that he didn't dare to laugh.

The time has come to close the camp.

It was a gloomy day, the wind was starting to chill, and the recruits were all lined up on the playground down the hill with their backpacks on their backs. The vehicles of the units that came to pick up the recruits were lined up in a large line at the foot of the mountain. Uncle Ma's family and the people of Ximotang Village were all standing next to the queue, reluctantly looking at the departing recruits.

The instructor read the list, and from time to time the cadres of the receiving units led the newly assigned soldiers to leave in a car. The 186 recruits were divided into three parts, some were assigned to logistics, some were assigned to two fishing squadrons, and seventeen recruits, including Yu Songyuan, Lin Tao, and Lin Zhumin, were selected to participate in devil training in the "ghost" training camp. Some of his best friends were assigned to logistics, and some were assigned to fishing squadrons.

The three-month recruit training has finally come to an end.
