Qiao Nianchao also learned from the veteran Zhao Xiaoman, and began to talk to those pigs, when the old soldier Zhao was there, he also said it, but it was in his heart at that time.

In the evening, the pigs were full, and they lay there lazily, looking at Qiao Nianchao gratefully with their eyes open, and Qiao Nianchao gave them food and clothing.

Qiao Nianchao squatted in front of the door of the pen, looking at the pigs, and the pigs also looked at him. He really had the desire to talk.

He said: I'm with you today, not for what, not for steamed buns, but for breath. I, Qiao Nianchao, can't be looked down upon, don't you think?

The pigs snorted softly.

He said: If I don't mix well and don't have the face to go home, then what kind of person am I, Qiao Nianchao. Fang Wei looks down on people, what's wrong with feeding pigs, isn't feeding pigs a good soldier? She's looking down on people, and I'm going to make a show to let her know.

Qiao Nianchao seemed to be swearing, and it seemed that he was cheering himself up. He said this in his heart, and his heart was much lighter and better. Only then did he understand Old Soldier Zhao. Veteran Zhao has been like this for four years, and he usually doesn't even have anyone to talk to, he can only confide in the pigs, and the pigs won't laugh at him, just listen quietly.

When he told like this, he regarded the pigs as friends, and he gave them names every day, the black pig looked very dedicated, and he looked like he had no desires, so he called it "Old Black", and the flower pig looked smart and clever, he called it Sister Hua, and the white pig, he called it Little White......

Every time he fed the pigs, he shouted and said: Lao Heizi, Sister Hua, and Xiaobai are here to eat.

The pigs seemed to understand him, and they all stood up and looked excitedly at the bucket of swill in his hand. While the pigs were eating, he did not leave an inch, stroking them with his hands.

He sometimes let the pigs out of the pen and let them walk around the clearing, or brushed them with a brush, and the pigs were very useful, humming and closing their eyes.

He has to go to the canteen every night to pick up a load of swill, every time he picks up swill, he will see the leftover steamed buns on the board, he takes advantage of people not paying attention to a few steamed buns in his arms, sometimes the people in the cooking class see it and ask: Dinner is not full Wow?

He replied, "I'm a little hungry."

The people in the cooking class said, "There are still leftovers over there, why don't you take a bowl of them too?"

He said, "Steamed buns are enough."

Naturally, the steamed buns were not eaten by himself, he sat in the dark, and the old sunspot came over, he had fed the old sunspot twice before, and the old sunspot remembered, as long as he stood there, the old sunspot came over, he took out the steamed buns from his arms, and stuffed them into the old sunspot's mouth one after another. The old black man finished eating and looked at him gratefully.

He waved his hand and said, "No, go back to sleep."

The old sunspot seemed to understand, and walked away wagging his tail.

All this seems to have become a secret between him and Lao Heizi, and he is excited about this secret. Sometimes, he didn't give the old black man a steamed bun for a day, and it seemed that something was missing, lying in the dormitory in the middle of the night, listening to the old black man's humming, his heart was a little empty.

Since then, he has to find a way to get something in the canteen every day, and sometimes there are no steamed buns, he will take a radish or potato or something and stuff it into the mouth of the old sunspot, no matter what he gives it, the old sunspot looks happy, and it tastes very sweet.

When he did all this, he felt that there was more fun in his ordinary life, and there was more vague expectation, and he couldn't tell what this expectation was. Lao Heizi really lived up to expectations, his body grew very fast, and his appearance changed greatly in only two months, and his weight was dozens of pounds more than that of Sister Hua and Xiaobai. Looking at the old sunspot in front of him, he had a sense of accomplishment, and the old sunspot was his work.

In a flash, New Year's Day has arrived. According to the regulations of the army, there should be a holiday on New Year's Day and pigs should be killed. Two days before New Year's Day, the deputy company commander walked to the pigsty with his hands behind his back. The deputy company commander said to the three pigs: They look good, they are all fat.

He stood aside, feeling very uncomfortable. He knew that the deputy company commander was going to pick a pig to kill. In the past six months, he has had a relationship with the pigs, they grow up in his eyes day by day, and he feels distressed when he kills them.

The deputy company commander took a fancy to the old black man and said: This black pig has a fat waist and a strong body, or kill it first.

He said: Don't, I think it's better to stay in the Spring Festival, there are a few days off during the Spring Festival, and the old black man can eat for a while.

The deputy company commander nodded and said: Listen to you, then kill that flower pig.

With one sentence, he let Lao Heizi escape the catastrophe in front of him, but sent Sister Hua to the guillotine. On the day of the pig killing, several soldiers rolled up their arms and sleeves to catch the pig with joy. He ducked and squatted outside the courtyard wall to smoke. He listened to Sister Hua screaming loudly and lowly, and his heart felt so uncomfortable.

At lunchtime, he didn't go to the cafeteria, only said that he was sick and lying in bed. The deputy company commander came to see him and brought him a bowl of meat, but he didn't eat it, and threw it away while no one was paying attention. He didn't go to the cafeteria for three days in a row, and after three days, Sister Hua's meat was finished, and his mood calmed down.

He understood everything that Veteran Zhao had said, and at this time, like Veteran Zhao, his feelings had melted with the pigs. After killing Sister Hua, Lian Li bought another piglet, which weighed dozens of pounds, and began to grow vigorously day by day under his care.

During the Spring Festival, the deputy company commander came again, there were only Lao Heizi and Xiaobai in front of him, and the little piglet he named Xiaoman, which is the name of Zhao Veteran, has not grown up yet, and is not within the consideration of the deputy company commander.

The deputy company commander said: Kill this black head this time, I think there are 400 catties.

He hesitated for a while before he said: Lao Heizi had a fever a few days ago, and now he is not well, if he kills it and eats its meat, it will be sick pork.

The deputy company commander looked at him seriously and asked: Really?

He nodded.

Lao Heizi escaped this catastrophe again, and he naturally faked Lao Heizi's illness. In this way, Xiaobai was sent to the guillotine again, and the food in the company was improved up and down for several days, and the soldiers were so happy that they choked.

After the Spring Festival, there are fewer festivals, and there are fewer opportunities to kill pigs. The old black man had enough time to breathe, and his fat body grew strongly.

When it came to the "August 1st" Army Day, the deputy company commander came again, and the old black man at this time doubled in size compared with the Spring Festival, and the deputy company commander looked at the old black man with a happy face. He scratched his face and scratched his head, and said with a smile: Look at this black pig, I can't bear to kill it.

He said on the side: Then don't kill it, keep it as a model pig and let people visit.

The deputy company commander stopped laughing, glanced at Qiao Nianchao and then at Lao Heizi, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: Hey, you're right, our machine gun is even good, but there is nothing to say about logistics, you are right, keep it and let it be a model.

The old sunspot really became a model, and it weighed about five or six hundred pounds at that time. In the past, people saw pigs of two or three hundred catties, and some were three or four hundred catties, and pigs of five or six hundred catties were rare, because people couldn't wait for them to grow up to that time and then they would be killed and eaten for meat.

The deputy company commander, as the company's achievements, reported the matter of this model pig at each level. First of all, the head of the regiment's logistics department came to inspect it, he took some unit commanders, assistants or something, looked at the pigs, and finally remembered the pig breeders, at this time, the deputy company commander promptly and ceremoniously pushed Qiao Nianchao to the front desk, and the logistics director shook Qiao Nianchao's hand and said: Yes, yes, look at this pig chief, when will you introduce the experience to the logistics of the whole regiment to those pig soldiers.

Since then, other companies have come to the machine-gun company every now and then to learn from it, and they have been pointing fingers around the pigsty. When it was Qiao Nianchao's turn to introduce the experience, he only said one sentence: If you want to raise pigs well, you have to love pigs.

He said it honestly, it was easy to understand, and it became a famous quote when others heard it. Some leaders said: Look at what others have summarized, this is what people are doing and loving, and being the champion.

Later, the logistics minister of the division also came, looked at the pig and then at Qiao Nianchao, grabbed Qiao Nianchao's hand and shook it wildly, and then said: You are the pacesetter of our logistics.

The words of the division's logistics minister suddenly made Qiao Nianchao a figure in the division's logistics unit. People know that the machine gun company has a pig breeder and logistics pacesetter. Qiao Nianchao became famous in the whole division. He didn't expect that because of a pig, he completely threw off the backward hat, at the beginning, he really didn't think about it so much, but because he was helpless, he chose to feed the pig, but he didn't expect him to really make a name.

Lian Li first gave him a commendation, and later the regiment gave him a third-class meritorious service. After returning from the regiment, the big red flower on his chest had not been plucked, so he came to the pigsty and hugged the old black man and shed tears. This scene was taken by the regimental press officer as a photograph and published in a prominent position in the military region's newspaper under the title: The Swineherd and His Pigs.

This incident alarmed Minister Fang of the Logistics Department of the Military Region, that is, Fang Wei's father. He was moved by that photo, a soldier holding a pig's eyes with tears, what kind of emotion is this!

He personally led the working group to the division, and then to the machine gun company, which was accompanied by the division commander and the political commissar, and many people took pictures and spoke again.

The old sunspot was also very competitive, and at that time there were almost 1,000 catties. It is lazy all day long, and because it is too fat, it eats on its stomach. In the past, when people visited, Qiao Nianchao also bombarded it, let the old black man take two steps, and let everyone take a serious and comprehensive look, but now Qiao Nianchao bombarded it, and it was too lazy to get up, and hummed at people with kind eyes.

When Minister Fang shook hands with Qiao Nianchao and took pictures on a routine basis, Minister Fang was stunned. He knew Qiao Nianchao, and of course Qiao Nianchao knew him. When he was in the compound of the military region, every time he saw Minister Fang, he called Minister Fang uncle. Minister Fang naturally also knew that Qiao Nianchao was the son of Deputy Chief of Staff Qiao.

Minister Fang said: Aren't you reading the court?

Qiao Nianchao saluted Minister Fang and said: "Chief, I am Qiao Nianchao.

This is amazing, Qiao Nianchao is not only a typical logistics pig breeder, but also a typical child of cadres in the army. Minister Fang signed the document and wrote a paragraph: The child of a senior cadre can start from feeding pigs in the army, and make such great achievements, it seems that the true character of our army has not been lost, and we see hope in the next generation......

What an important affirmation.

Needless to say, Minister Fang praised Qiao Nianchao in front of Deputy Chief of Staff Qiao, and Minister Fang asked Fang Wei to learn from Qiao Nianchao on the phone and stopped talking. Qiao Nianchao's fate began to change dramatically.

In September of that year, Qiao Nianchao was sent to the Army Academy to study command. At that time, the cadres promoted by the army had already begun to be trained from academies and universities. The military college entrance examination system is also being reformed.
