Chapter 61: The Party
On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the recruit company organized a party. In the auditorium, on this special day, squad leaders, platoon commanders, and company commanders, in order to be able to create a sense of home and a joyful atmosphere for these recruits who are celebrating the New Year in the barracks for the first time, disrupted the boundaries between squads. Allow them to sit with their fellow villagers, classmates, or people they can talk to.
"Peng Fei, Liu Liu, this way!" Wei Guo stretched out his hand to greet Peng Fei and the two of them.
Peng Fei and Liu Liu sat down on the chairs next to Wei Guo. The three of them are fellow villagers, and they happen to be able to talk about it. Melon seeds, peanuts, candy, and local condolences were already on the table.
"Why is this orange so sour?" Wei Guo just stuffed a clove of orange into his mouth and immediately complained.
"You're still sour when you eat fruit for nothing?" Peng Fei glared at him angrily.
"Nonsense, it's because it's eaten for free, that's why it's sour. If I had to pay for it, I wouldn't want it. Really, I don't know if it's the condolences sent by that unit, trying to make our teeth sore? ”
"You don't like to eat, people have something to eat." As he spoke, Liu Liu motioned to Wei Guo to look to the side with his eyes.
I saw a recruit comrade-in-arms next to him, who was eating one petal after another, eating with relish. "Damn, how can I compare to him. You know, that guy is from Shanxi. ”
"Oh, I see." Peng Fei and Liu Liu both looked clear at this time.
With the shout of Company Commander Pei on the stage, the auditorium immediately fell silent. The theatrical performance brought by these recruits also kicked off. According to the meaning of Company Commander Pei, the first class, the second class, and the third class...... It's like this to perform in circles. If there is no show to perform in the first class, then sorry, please stay and clean up the battlefield at the end.
When it was Peng Fei's turn to take their class, I saw Zhang Chen walking up to the stage generously. "Let me tell you about a cross talk. This cross talk is a language art, and it pays attention to speaking, learning and singing...... "Although the performers are very amateur, they can't stand the appreciators who are more amateur." Therefore, every program will win warm applause from the audience.
"You two sit down first, I have to get ready to go, and then it's time for me to play."
"What's the matter with defending the country, do you still have a show?" Peng Fei asked pretending to be surprised.
"You think you're like you, what you can't do, what you eat."
"Hey, you kid wait, see how I'm going to pull you off the stage with oranges."
After a while, it was the turn of the program to defend the country. I saw that a total of four people plus Weiguo came to the stage, and everyone was still holding the same thing in their hands. But not musical instruments, but pots and pans.
"What kind of show is this, do you want to show cooking?"
Just when everyone in the audience was puzzled, the four people on the stage said in unison: "Today, the four of us will perform three and a half sentences for our comrades-in-arms." After a rattle of pots and pans, he started with a man and said, "Friends, be quiet." "We talk, you listen." "What is today's topic?" Wei Guo tapped the plate in his hand twice with his chopsticks, and then said, "Barracks." Then there was another rattle of pots and pans, "Life as a soldier is really hard!" "Take a breath and walk along." "The military posture is the most difficult to stand." "It's bitter!" ……
In fact, at this time, it doesn't matter whether the performance is good or bad. The important thing is that in this joyful atmosphere, their group of recruits gradually diminished their homesickness. But the premise must be - in a joyful atmosphere!
It was He Bei's turn to play, and the song he was going to sing was "Mother in the Candlelight". I have to admit that He Bei's voice is really good, and he has certain singing skills. At the same time, when he sings this song, he must have integrated his own feelings, otherwise he would not have such a strong appeal. I saw him singing affectionately: "...... Oh mom, mom in the candlelight. Your black hair is covered with frost ......"
At this time, the recruits in the audience have no food to eat. There are even some fragile ones, and there are tears in their eyes. Company Commander Pei saw that the situation was not right. If it is not stopped in time, it will surely rain down tears. So Company Commander Pei decisively stepped forward and grabbed the microphone in He Bei's hand, "This little comrade sings well, very professional!" Come, everybody applaud him. The recruits in the audience suddenly came to their senses and began to applaud warmly. Which class is it next, hurry up. What about people? Otherwise, the work of cleaning up the battlefield will belong to your class. Company Commander Pei took the microphone and shouted on the stage, and the people in the audience kept coaxing. Finally, someone came to the stage and howled a few times by pulling his neck.
There is always no shortage of unlucky eggs, so the auditorium will eventually be cleaned. According to the previous rules, whichever class had no show to perform in the first place would stay to clean up the battlefield. And the patriotic class, this unlucky bastard.
In the afternoon, squad leader Xia sent Peng Fei and Liu Liu to help in the cooking class. When the two of them entered the cooking class, they saw that the other classes had also sent people to help. At this time, the cooking class was a busy scene, and everyone was very happy.
"You two don't stay there." The squad leader of the cooking class should have just finished making noodles, holding two big noodle hands, and said to Peng Fei and them: "Go over there and cut the stuffing." ”
Because Peng Fei and the two of them came late, the dishes had already been cut, and the two of them only had to cut the green onions. This is a job that no one wants to do, and I saw the two of them cutting it while the tears were flowing down. And you can't wipe it with your hands, the more you wipe it, the more it flows, so you can only make do with the sleeves of your jacket to wipe it. After cutting, the two of them hurried to the tap water to wash their hands and eyes.
As soon as I finished washing, I heard the leader of the cooking squad tell them again: "Go over there and mix the stuffing." ”
In front of Peng Fei and Liu Liu, there was an oversized aluminum basin filled with dumpling filling. The seasoning has already been put away by the staff of the cooking class, and it is enough to mix it. It's easier said than done. After all, it's not like at home, just put some stuffing in a small basin and mix it with two chopsticks. I saw that the shovel that mixed the stuffing was like a sapper's shovel, how can you mix it with this thing?
The squad leader of the cooking class snatched the shovel from Peng Fei's hand and stepped forward to demonstrate, "Look, you have to copy the bottom like this." That's how it mixes, you know? ”
"Understood."
When Peng Fei and the others were done, they came out of the kitchen and came to the canteen in front. At this time, several classes had already come over to start making dumplings, including Peng Fei and their second class.
To say that He Bei's hand is the most ingenious, a dumpling can actually wrap three patterns. In addition to the regular shape, there are also ingot-shaped ones and small fish shapes. However, the big guys agreed that the ingot-shaped one seemed to be more appropriate to call it a ravioli.
