The officers and men of the 1st Battalion of the B Regiment, in accordance with the arrangements of the personnel of the urban defense regiment, walked into the dormitory to rest.

"Oh, you also have a clay kang here!" As soon as Liu Dart entered the dormitory, he saw a long kang at a glance, which made him very kind, he hadn't seen this thing for many years, and he didn't expect that there would be this thing in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Comrade, don't you know what to do, speaking of this earthen kang, there is a very beautiful story," the cadre who led Liu Dart into the house was very complacent when he said this.

"Tell me about it, I love to hear stories."

"Ahem," the officer cleared his throat and said proudly, "Don't say it's us here, a few more counties you go further on, there are this kind of earthen kang, which is still left over from the Liberation War." ”

"I know the truth, the person who built this earthen kang must be Siye, am I right?"

"Not all right, there is a field, two fields, at that time the army of the iron bed was too little, people can only use straw mats to spread on the ground to sleep, for a long time there is too much cold on the ground, and there are a lot of sick people, the head of the headquarters knows about this, so according to the characteristics of various places, these earthen kang are built, one is to play a role in the tide, two, when cooking, the earthen kang is hot, the southern climate is humid, with it, the house is much drier."

"Okay, correspondent, find some firewood, burn the kang for Lao Tzu for half an hour, I will lie down for a while."

"Yes". As soon as the correspondent was about to go out to 'carry firewood', he was stopped by the officer in the room.

"You can't burn the kang this season, don't go."

"What, I obviously saw a lot of firewood piled up on the wall, are you too stingy, we only lived for two days, and we didn't give any charity to comfort us," Liu Dart thought that people were too small, and he didn't do it. Speak loudly.

"This is discipline, if you really want to burn the kang, go and tell our regiment leader, he agreed, no one will care about you anymore."

Liu Dart simply didn't even take off his shoes, and jumped directly on the earthen kang, "Don't always use your head to press me, I'm a guest, don't burn and pull down, you can go." I'm going to sleep. ”

Although it was not hot, Liu Dart still felt very comfortable, he took off his coat and went directly into the quilt wearing only his shirt.

It may be that he has been thinking too much for many days, and he didn't sleep well last night, in the dream, Liu Dart has passed a lot of addiction, he dreamed that he had eaten a lot of food, and the most beautiful fell on the kang. The kang burned so hot that he sweated.

Suddenly, Liu Dart realized that it was too hot under him, and he jumped up violently. I lifted the mattress and touched the kang with my hand, it turned out to be hot, and it was quite hot. He hurriedly went down to the ground to put on his shoes, and saw that the officer who had just accompanied him in was lighting a fire for him.

"Look at this whole thing. How can I ask you to help me light the fire," Liu Dart felt deeply sorry.

"I reported what you asked for to the regiment commander, and the regiment commander ordered me to help you burn it, it turns out that you are the deputy battalion commander in the battalion, and you are disrespectful." The officer stuffed the rest of the firewood into the stove pit, and swept it with a small broom.

"That's what I said, I'm from the Northeast, my hometown is the fire kang where I live, I've been a soldier for more than ten years, and I kissed it when I saw it, I didn't expect it to really trouble you."

"It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome, we often burn it in winter," the officer's face was very kind, he was not tall, but his body was very thick, thicker than Liu Dart.

"Four, number one is looking for you," a soldier ran in and shouted at the officer.

"It turns out that you are the leader of the fourth regiment, this is really too ~~," he lit the fire for himself, but he didn't expect to be a leader, and Liu Dart was even more upset.

"It's nothing, you are all people who want to be heroes, and we don't have the opportunity to go to the front line, so we can serve you a little, which is what we should do," the mouths of political work cadres have always been pleasing to the eye, and Liu Dart is really convinced this time.

After seeing the people leave, Liu Dart fell back to the kang, and at this time, the correspondent next to him was already snoring like thunder, and he also got into the quilt again, this time he took it all off, leaving only a pair of military trousers.

Not only was Liu Dart's house on fire, but almost all the houses where the personnel of the first battalion of the B regiment lived, and smoke rose from the roofs, which was an order from the commander of the city defense regiment, in order to make the 'field soldiers' feel at home.

The deputy instructor of the first battalion of the B regiment has inexhaustible strength, and he is the only one in the whole battalion who has not fallen asleep on the kang.

"Hey, you still bring your own dry food," the logistics chief of the city defense regiment took a bite of the "leisure cake", feeling that this cake was very special and had never eaten it before.

"This is our battalion's own research and development of leisure cakes, put a week will not be bad, very suitable for combat marching, the taste is okay," although the deputy instructor has not been in the camp for many days, but the camp is big and small, he knows everything well, this is a good time for him to carry forward the spirit of the battalion, so that these 'old hats' can see, what is called a 'regular army'.

"Then do you have a good way of making cakes? Teach us too," a cadre of the logistics department of the city defense regiment, after eating the cake, admired the deliciousness of the cake very much, and he very much hoped that he could learn this hand, so that he could use it for unreal needs.

"This is our chief of finance, surnamed Xiao."

"Of course you can, Chief Xiao, if you want to learn, I can arrange someone to teach you," they are also from the head of the unit, but the deputy instructor pretends to be superior, he is the head of the unit, and he is the top three big head of the B regiment, and he is not comparable to the head of the urban defense regiment of this small family at all.

"Chief, come out for a moment," an officer walked in from outside, his face grim, as if he was embarrassed to say something to his face.

"Speaking of which, people are not outsiders either."

"Director, this pork has risen again, you don't have enough money for me," the person who came was the officer in charge of procurement of the city defense regiment, and before the people of the B regiment came in the morning, the logistics director gave him some vegetable money and asked him to buy more meat and come back.

"Five hundred dollars is not enough, what have you bought?" While talking about his subordinates, the director's eyes widened.

"I bought vegetables for 200 yuan, bought oil for 100 yuan, I want to buy meat for these 200 yuan, the meat has risen from 1 yuan 4 to 1 yuan 8, and it is all plate oil. I didn't dare to buy it because it was too expensive. ”

In the early days of reform and opening up in the last century, our army had a very detailed division of the food standards of troops at all levels, and this has not changed for many years. It's quite over, but this food can be said to be stretched thin with money, and there is no superfluity.

"Then you say how much money you can have?"

"If you give me another two hundred, this time I will definitely make everyone eat well."

"One hundred, I said that you are an elm head, you won't bargain with others, you really can't pick something cheap to buy, what fat intestines. Chicken liver or something, you have to eat meat, a hundred and a lot," bargaining with subordinates. This is the first time the assistant instructor has seen it.

"This is too little, this is also ~."

Seeing this, the deputy instructor glanced at the secretary of the battalion headquarters, and the secretary also nodded at him. So the assistant instructor walked up to the two of them, "You don't have to spend too much, just about it." I have five hundred dollars here, you take it first, if it's not enough, then ask me for it. ”

"Then how can you be embarrassed," the officer in charge of procurement heard that the people of the first battalion of the B regiment could produce five hundred, and everything could be solved.

"Sure enough, it's a big army, it's generous, you go to my house and tell my wife, bring my old wine and good wine to a jar, and say that I want to invite distinguished guests," the logistics chief of the city defense regiment saw that the guests paid for meat, and he couldn't be too stingy, so he ordered a soldier to go back to his house to get wine.

There are more than 800 people in the city defense regiment, and there are more than 400 in the first battalion of the B regiment, and the total amount of money and grain adds up, and each person is less than one dollar, but when everyone walks into the banquet, the people in the first battalion of the B regiment are all dumbfounded.

All companies of the battalion were dispersed to the battalions of the city defense regiment to eat together, but the dishes were the same, whether you were the head of the regiment or an ordinary soldier, you could drink the local rice wine, and the table was full of good dishes.

"Today, let's welcome the big brother of the field army, come to us to visit and guide, they are all going to the front line to fight, on behalf of the city defense regiment, I salute the big brother of the field army with a glass, the mind is in the wine, let's do it," the head of the city defense regiment is very enthusiastic, his first is the sixth, and the next is Guan Jianguo, while he raised his glass, everyone also stood up and drank it all.

"Come, eat vegetables, eat vegetables," the head of the city defense regiment sandwiched a prawn to No. 6 and Guan Jianguo, which was fried, but it did not shrink, it was still a big one.

"That's so polite, by the way, No. 1, you have prepared so much, how much does it cost?" It was also the first time that No. 6 had experienced such a sumptuous dinner, he didn't expect this city defense regiment to be so rich, and he was willing to invite them to eat such delicious food, and it was very expensive.

"No. 6, you don't know what to do with this, let's call it relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, this aquatic product is all beaten in the river, it doesn't cost money, it is the county that I heard that the big brother of the field army is coming, and I ordered someone to get it, we have it here."

"This fish is also a mouthful," the steamed fish on the table was huge, and after Liu Dar took a bite, he felt very fresh, so he also opened his mouth.

"Drink some rice wine, this fish can't be eaten on an empty stomach, you have to drink some rice wine with it."

"Okay," Liu Dart took another sip of steamed fish, and then quickly drank a glass of rice wine, which was mixed with fish and meat, with a special feeling, and he tasted it back and forth with his eyes closed.

"How?"

"Wonderful, that's wonderful, by the way, do they have it on the table?" Liu Dart stood up, and when he looked around, he was relieved that there was such a steamed fish on each table, but it was the largest on their table.

"This fish is raised by our regiment, and it tastes okay," said the head of the city defense regiment, although his words were very low, his face showed pride.

"It's rare, it's the first time I've eaten such a good meal," Guan Jianguo has always been drinking in a big bowl and eating in a big bowl since he joined the army.

"No. 1, I've borrowed something for you, will you put it on right away," a young officer walked up to the commander of the city defense regiment and whispered, although the voice was low, but everyone at the table could hear it.

"On the shelf, hurry up on the shelf."

"Yes," it turned out that the young officer borrowed a set of 'karaoke', which was borrowed from the county party committee compound, from color TVs to amplifiers, everything was available, and this officer was a 'movie-shower' in the regiment, and he was even more familiar with these things.

"Several, who of you is coming?"

"Six, you sing well, or you come," the deputy instructor knew the singing voice of Six.

"The master hasn't sung yet, how embarrassed are we to sing," No. 6 was already flushed with alcohol at this time, the 'home brew' of the logistics director of the city defense regiment seemed to be too delicious, No. 6 usually doesn't like to drink much, and today he really didn't drink less.

"This thing is for you, if you don't sing, where will anyone sing it, or on the sixth, come on, as soon as I talk to you, I know that you must have practiced," the fourth of the city defense regiment that burned the kang for Liu Dart also made a coax at this time.

"Okay, let's have a "Song of Peony", young man, is there?" No. 6 couldn't push it over, so he grabbed Mike.

Yes, right away. ’

No. 6's singing, only average, but he dares to sing, plus the amplifier is also very good, listening to the soldiers sitting there is very intoxicated, Liu Dart who was present also came to be interested, his heart beats very fast, usually other people can't compare, this singing is his strength, in recent years, under the leadership of his wife Chen Jing, he not only learned to sing, but also learned to dance, what national standard, folk dance, break dance, he is not a problem, tall head, long thighs, is his advantage, he is ready to wait for the sixth to sing, he also performed.
