In the big pot stove in the kitchen, four full cauldrons are boiling incessantly. In the three pots, there is yellow and clear millet porridge, and the rice oil is boiled out. Ginger soup is boiling in a pot, and thin shredded ginger is flying up and down like a swimming dragon.

The soldiers who had just finished the morning exercise training, under the leadership of their respective platoon commanders, lined up in an orderly manner to receive dishes and chopsticks, serving millet porridge, and the only side dish was some pickled radish, and a class had a small half bowl.

In the winter, the soldiers were already frozen and hardened, so they drank a mouthful of hot millet porridge and ate a mouthful of seasoned pickled radish, and their bodies were hot from the inside out.

After eating this breakfast, the soldiers went to fill half a bowl of ginger soup and drank it. Although the taste is not very good, it can ward off cold and sweat, effectively resist the threat of viruses, and reduce the chance of getting sick.

Ordinary soldiers don't think about it so much, eat well, train hard, and go to the battlefield to kill devils. And small cadres like Yuan Pengfei have more things to consider.

At this moment, he and the company deputy Chen Qiao were hungry, and they took a few soldiers from the cooking squad to visit the sick soldiers.

As a cadre, we must lead by example at such times. The soldiers of the whole company have not yet eaten a hot breakfast, how can their two military commanders eat it!

Walking into the ward, the temperature is obviously different, and this is probably the warmest place in the whole company except for the kitchen.

"Company commander, company deputy."

The warrior lying on the kang struggled to sit up. Yuan Pengfei and Chen Qiao hurriedly went up and helped the soldiers up one by one.

"The sugar-sweetened wowotou specially made for you by the cooking class today is very sweet. Drink a bowl of ginger soup, drink a bowl of millet porridge, cover the quilt and sweat, and you will get better in a day or two. ”

Yuan Pengfei patiently comforted the sick soldiers, hoping to give them a hope of recovery. People's desire to survive increases their chances of overcoming illness.

Every winter, among the soldiers who fall ill, there are countless who never get up again. But he is not a god, and can only do some psychological comfort and encourage the warriors.

Seeing that the soldiers were satisfied and lay down, Yuan Pengfei and Chen Qiao left with peace of mind.

Walking out of the door, he called Xiao Chen, who was taking care of the wounded, again.

He advised: "Xiao Chen, you must pay attention to ventilation in the ward, otherwise burning so much firewood will poison the wounded." ”

"Ah, no, company commander. I used to burn firewood, but I didn't see any signs of poisoning! Once you open the windows and doors to ventilate, won't the heat flow away in vain? ”

Xiao Chen muttered, retorting with some distress. The heating in winter depends on the firewood that the soldiers pick up little by little, and the little bit is used less. Burn more, he himself feels distressed.

Moreover, the warriors were born into poor families, and they had never experienced the burning of a large amount of wood to make the room very warm, and they had no experience in such a thing before.

But this kind of thing must be done with care. There is a brazier burning in the house, and the smoke cannot go out, and if it is not ventilated, it is easy to get carbon monoxide poisoning. It was discovered late, and it is difficult to save even in modern times, and it cannot be saved at all in this era.

Yuan Pengfei made a straight face and said very seriously: "Xiao Chen, this is not a trivial matter, a person who can't make the whole room will die due to poisoning." ”

"Oh, no!"

Xiao Chen was a little frightened, he didn't dare to imagine that kind of scene. Killing a comrade-in-arms, what a crime it is, he can't get over it psychologically.

Yuan Pengfei didn't mean to scare him: "Xiao Chen, do you know!" In the homes of wealthy families, it is not uncommon for families to die of poisoning because of the burning of too much wood and the lack of ventilation in the house. ”

"Ah, company commander, then I know, I must pay attention to ventilation and expel this poisonous smoke."

Xiao Chen hurriedly patted his chest, looking like he was going to die generously. Obviously, I misunderstood the poisoning, thinking that this was the same as blowing up a bunker with an explosive bag.

Yuan Pengfei didn't want to misunderstand the little soldier, so he hurriedly explained: "That's not it, this firewood burning is not so terrible, otherwise the big guy wouldn't use it to keep warm, wouldn't it?"

This is the same as when you eat, eating just right, which is good for your body. But if you stuff it into your mouth after eating, you have to kill people.

Therefore, you don't have to treat this as a flood beast, ventilate it every once in a while, and exhaust the smoke from the house, and there will be no problems. ”

Xiao Chen suddenly realized, and quickly nodded and wrote down this matter, and he didn't have the fear just now in his heart, but smiled shyly.

Walking on the road, Chen Qiao couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart and asked, "Old Yuan, is this thing really as terrible as you said?" ”

He also has never seen the world, he doesn't read much, and no one has told him, so he doesn't know about it.

Yuan Pengfei could only explain to him again, "Old Chen, it's really like I said now, if you don't ventilate, you will be poisoned."

I once read a book written by a eunuch Liu Ruoyu, "The Chronicles of the Middle", which records the deeds of the Ming court.

It is said that in the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty, because people were afraid of the cold, a large amount of charcoal was burned, and because of improper ventilation, a large number of people died, even the prince and the princess. Isn't this thing scary, you say? ”

"Sss Chen Qiao gasped and was shocked. Although the emperor no longer exists, he has entered the Republic of China.

But the emperor is still high in people's hearts, and such an unspeakable figure as the prince and the princess will also die because of this, which is very shocking to think about.

Yuan Pengfei: "But you don't have to worry too much about this matter. Our room can't burn a few pieces of wood a day, so when we go in and out of the room, we take the smoke away, so there won't be much of a problem. ”

Chen Qiao was speechless for a moment, in fact, the carbon monoxide produced by the firewood burned by most people in the entire company basically did not meet the standard of poisoning people.

The cooking class runs inside and out, and the smoke stove leads to the outside of the house, so it doesn't collect too much carbon monoxide.

Only in the ward, there is no stove and chimney to exhaust the smoke outside the house, and the soldiers are reluctant to open the doors and windows for ventilation in order to keep warm, and they are most likely to be poisoned by carbon monoxide.

By the time the two of them returned to the cooking class, the soldiers had already eaten breakfast and went back to nest until the next training. The cooking class has now become very deserted, and only Wang Shan, the leader of the cooking class, is still waiting for the two of them to eat.

"Company commander, company deputy, hot porridge is up."

Wang Shan took out two bowls of millet porridge, a pickled radish, and a nest head from the still warm stove.

"Lao Wang, what's the situation, doesn't it mean that this is sick food? Why are you still here!. ”

Chen Qiao suddenly made a face, widened his eyes and asked dissatisfiedly.

The cadres of the Eighth Route Army are all good cadres who have faith in their hearts and lead by example. I can't rub the sand in my eyes, how can I watch the people below make trouble like this!

Wang Shan's eyes widened, and he said seriously: "Deputy Lian, don't you know that the company commander is sick?" ”

"When did this happen, how did I not know!" Chen Qiao looked at Yuan Pengfei, and then at Wang Shan, who was very puzzled.

Working together during the day and on the same kang at night, he has not yet found out that the company commander is sick. This is a huge dereliction of duty!

Wang Shan was about to explain, but Yuan Pengfei said: "It's okay, it's just a little sick, the secretary has seen it."

But Wang Shan, didn't I tell you, don't treat me as a patient, I don't need to do this. Let's keep this nest for the sick soldiers! There are two of us, just have porridge to drink. ”

Yuan Pengfei has been spinning since he woke up, and with the memory in his mind, he is doing what he has to do every day, so he naturally doesn't feel that there is any situation.

But at this moment, once he rested, the virus in his body became active, and now he couldn't stop shaking, and he felt a little sick. Hurriedly picked up the millet porridge on the table, wanting to drink some hot food to relieve the pain in his body.

Chen Qiao knew that he had misunderstood others, and his expression was a little embarrassed.

However, he quickly collected his emotions and persuaded: "Old Yuan, how can you hide this from me!" If you fall ill, there's no one to deal with what's inside. Don't say anything, have a good breakfast, go back to the house to rest and recuperate! ”

He, the company deputy, does not have the backbone of the company commander, and he feels unsteady from the bottom of his heart.

Yuan Tengfei patted him on the shoulder and said confidently: "Lao Chen, don't worry, I know my body, it's not a thing." I'm just a toiler, and I don't feel bad when I get to work.

I'll take someone to the regiment headquarters to see if I can give us some benefits and have a meal by the way. I'll leave the things in the company to you. ”

"Okay, you are the company commander, you have the final say, but you must not fall ill, otherwise I will go to the regiment headquarters to complain."

Chen Qiao threatened softly, and he couldn't even pretend to be vicious.

"Wang Shan, bring me another bowl of ginger soup."

"Okay."

Until the two of them had breakfast, the golden nest head was still intact in the bowl.

Wang Shan shook his head, so he had to put it away again and save it for the noon sick meal.

Although the soldiers also ate the nest head at noon, who let this nest head add the most precious sugar! It can only be given to the patients who need nutrition the most.

The independent regiment had a total of about 1,000 men, and the average of the three battalions was more than 300 people. The regimental headquarters has a guard platoon, a communications squad, an orderly soldier, an operational staff officer, a logistics officer, etc., and there are also dozens of people.

A small village is home to more than 1,000 people. Therefore, the first battalion, the own son, was stationed in the village with the regimental headquarters and enjoyed the most convenient convenience.

The two godsons of the 2nd and 3rd Battalions could only be stationed in two villages near the regimental headquarters, and they had to walk several kilometers to run the regimental headquarters, making it difficult to get in touch.

So Yuan Pengfei, the small company commander, first went around the battalion commander and got the battalion commander's consent. Then he turned around and went to the regiment headquarters to find Political Commissar Zhao crying poor.
