Three weeks have passed in a blink of an eye, and the troops, which have been closed for nearly a month, have also opened their rest days one after another.

In modern society, the soldiers of the army also have rest, and they are rested on double cultivation days like ordinary people, but there must be strict procedures, and there must be a certain proportion, that is to say, not everyone can go out every week, and the number of people who go out in a company is about 5%-10%.

However, the situation of Dongluo Island is a bit peculiar, since the beginning of the establishment of the troops, there has not been such strict enforcement, at that time it is usually a rest day, and the regular troops are just the opposite, except for 10% of the soldiers standing guard on duty, 90% of the people are herding sheep on Saturdays and Sundays.

Therefore, when Hu Guang came for a month and implemented these norms and regulations neatly, it was like tightening the ropes of these soldiers before, and now even eating was solved in the barracks, which made them almost out of breath for the past few weeks.

Hu Guang saw that they were indeed exhausted by his training, so starting a few days ago, he went through the formalities of asking for leave and canceling leave for them in accordance with Chapter 9 of the "Internal Affairs Regulations of the Army" and Section 5 of the daily system.

Today it was the turn of several fighters in the third squad of a platoon to go on vacation, and they walked out of the barracks in groups.

"Where are we going today?" After a few people walked out of the barracks, they didn't know where to play for a while.

Dongluo Island is very small, and you can see the head at a glance, but although they were detained in the barracks at that time, they can often come out for a walk, just like when they were in Jiangjiazhuang, they are very familiar.

But now they haven't seen each other for a month, and when they walked out of the barracks again, they found that the world outside was a little unrecognizable, and those tall houses had been moved into several columns, and then a few "streets" appeared.

"I heard Lin Xiaoer say, there are a lot of things for sale in the 'supply and marketing cooperative', why don't we go there and have a look." A tall and thin soldier suddenly said this, Lin Xiaoer is also a soldier in their class, and he is still in the same dormitory, but yesterday was his rest day, and when I saw him come back in the evening, I bought a lot of things from the "supply and marketing cooperative".

"That's right, let's go to the 'supply and marketing cooperative' to have a look." Another soldier also said that the "supply and marketing cooperative" had in fact been open for two weeks, and on the day of its opening on New Year's Day, there was no noise of gongs and drums outside, nor firecrackers, but the chief's speech at the opening ceremony reached their ears word by word through the loudspeaker, which made them itch.

"Okay, let's go together." The others were also fascinated, but in fact, there seemed to be no place to go outside the barracks except this.

"By the way, did you bring any money?" The leading soldier suddenly remembered something very important, his "money" had been locked in the small drawer of his desk, and now he had not a penny on him.

Hearing him say this, the others were also stunned, patted their pockets, and found that they were also like him, they were all "penniless", who let this go to the island, in the past few months, they have eaten and drunk for nothing, and suddenly forgot to go out to bring "money".

"Then we'll have to go back and get it."

……

Xiao Baitu returned to the dormitory, their dormitory is a room for 10 people, in addition to the iron frame bed on the upper and lower bunks, it is a table for each person, each table also has drawers, and there is a small lock on it, which is brought back from above by the chief, which is very delicate and easy to use.

At first, everyone didn't care, because they had it, everyone had it, and everything was long-haired, whether it was clothes, shoes and socks, so the lock was thrown over there, and the drawers were not locked.

However, two weeks ago, all this changed, because the chief gave everyone "money", and the "money" in his hand was really the same as what the chiefs who had gone to the meeting said, all of which were soft and soft "money" like small pieces of paper.

The scenery on the back of those "money" is also very beautiful, according to what Mr. Zhang said in the cultural class, they are all in the area thousands of miles away from here, and those on the front are the upper realm magic weapons that some leaders said, some can go to the sea, some can run on land, and some can fly in the sky.

Xiao Baitu took more than 30 yuan with his basic salary and allowance, he looked at those colorful pieces of paper, not copper coins, and muttered at the time, it was really uncomfortable, but thinking that the chief had always been true to his words, he could only accept this reality.

The food of the army has never been paid, which has been the case throughout the ages, so there is a saying that "soldiers eat food", but the soldiers in ancient times did not eat well, except for coarse grains or miscellaneous grains, there are not many days when they can eat meat, and it may be a full meal before the battle or a victory celebration banquet to get a few pieces of meat to eat.

For example, according to Qi Jiguang's heavy camp, each battalion truck is 80 vehicles, each carrying 2 stones and 5 buckets of rice, 3 stones, 7 buckets and 5 liters of coal, 6 stones, 2 buckets and 5 liters of black beans, a total of 300 stones of rice, 300 stones of coal, and 500 stones of black beans. This is the three-day eclipse of 10,000 horses conceived by Qi Jiguang, and there is no meat in it.

But in the military camp in Huangshi, it is different, from the beginning to the present, it is two meats, two vegetables and one soup, all of which are configured by Lao Huang according to the nutritional recipes of the troops, and they are changed every day, and only in this way can these soldiers carry out high-intensity training and make their bodies stronger day by day.

Although the troops did not need money for food, other personal consumables began to be charged, such as towels, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc., which were no longer provided for them free of charge from that day on, and they had to pay for them to buy them in the supermarket at their own expense.

Xiao Baitu untied the key from his waist, opened the drawer gently, and took out a notebook from it, and the banknotes were sandwiched inside, in fact, there were only a dozen banknotes, two of 10 yuan, two of 5 yuan, plus three or five banknotes at the corners of the corner, these were all his property.

"How much money are you going to bring?" Xiao Baitu muttered in his heart, he didn't have any concept of the prices in the supermarket, yesterday he saw Lin Xiaoer buy things and come back, because he was too tired from training, and after a few glances, he went to bed.

"Forget it, take it all with you, so as not to wait for the money to be insufficient and lose face." So Xiao Baitu picked up the "money", put it in his pants, and then closed the drawer and walked out.

……

When these soldiers reassembled outside the barracks, Xiao Baitu knew that the others were similar to him, and they were blind to the outside market, so they all put all the money in their pockets, so they also had some confidence in their hearts.

Walking on the "May Day" road, Xiao Baitu and several of them were surprised, because they saw that not only the house was moved, but also the street pavement really appeared in the middle of them, a cement pavement six meters wide, and a slippery flower bed on both sides, and then there was a "street sign" erected at the intersection.

They just saw this "street sign" with white characters on a blue background, and they walked this way, because Xiao Baitu remembered that Lin Xiaoer mentioned it yesterday, "The supermarket is on Wuyi Road." ”

"Hey, you see, how come the first floor of these houses is empty now?" Jiang Zhigao, who was walking next to Xiao Baitu, suddenly said.

Everyone looked to the side, it was really like this, the first floor of the prefabricated house, a month ago, was still full of people, but now it has become empty, not even a figure, but fortunately, there are still people on the second and third floors, and they know how to dry their clothes on the railing.

After walking a few houses forward, Xiao Baitu, Jiang Zhigao, and Qi Deng finally saw the legendary supermarket "Supply and Marketing Cooperative" under a house, and on the opposite side of it, there were actually two other stores, but they were all small shops.

The sign of one shop reads "Barber Shop", and there is a red, blue and white barrel on the front of the shop. The other store has a "clothing store" written on it, but neither store is open yet.

"What do these two stores do?" Zidden asked, a little puzzled.

"I don't know what to do." Xiao Baitu and Jiang Zhigao both shook their heads, everyone came out for the first time, how could they know the Tao.

"We are still an advanced 'supply and marketing cooperative'." Jiang Zhigao glanced over there, then turned his head and looked at the supermarket on the left side of the road, there were people in the supermarket now, and looking through the large glass of the store's kitchen window, there were quite a lot of people inside.

It's good to have someone, Xiao Baitu thought so in his heart, so he pulled Qi Deng and Jiang Zhigao and walked inside.

"Welcome!"

As soon as they entered the door, the three of them heard voices coming from inside, and then they saw two little girls looking at them with smiles on their faces.

The two little girls were wearing different clothes from the original, Xiao Baitu and them were a little straight-eyed, wearing a pink vertical striped shirt on the upper body, a small pink butterfly on the neckline, a small black vest on the body, a pair of black straight trousers on the lower body, and a pair of black round-toed leather shoes on the feet.

Xiao Baitu and they were all a little dumbfounded, and finally swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva into their dry throats, and they didn't know what to say for a while, they didn't know where to put their hands and feet, and their eyes didn't dare to look at the two little girls more. Because of the little girl's close-fitting dress, the two of them have been showing their growing figures, and their curves are exquisitely displayed, and after a few more glances, I am afraid that they will immediately become "disciples" in the eyes of others.
