At this time, the chief asked, "Young man, your pigs are still good, much better than when I was a child." The chief smiled. Half Cheng also smiled stiffly. "They said, you raised all these pigs alone. Then tell me how you made so many pigsties so clean and how the pigs were so fat. ”

These are two questions. At this time, the halfway point seems to be back to the feeling when I first enlisted in the army. He saluted first, then spoke, "Report chief, these two questions, in fact, are one question. Chief: "Really?" Tell me about it! "Pig raising and managing people are the same. They are just like us warriors, and if you really care about them, they will listen to you. So, when you want them to sleep, they can sleep whenever you want. They pee wherever they want. Listen to you. ”

Listening to halfway's answer, applause and laughter rang out outside the circle. The chief said, "Alas, little one, don't say it, your metaphor is very vivid." It's the first time I've heard of your pig raising scripture. Then there was applause and flashing lights. After that, the group of people surrounded the chief and passed by the door of the vegetable cellar. The commentary prepared in advance by the deputy company commander was omitted.

The chief just grabbed Liu Bancheng and asked him to introduce how the vegetable cellar was managed. Halfway through, he told him what his mother often said at home. What "cabbage should be dried first in the cellar, potatoes and radishes should be covered with soil, often turned over and ventilated frequently, and it will not be bad first inside and out!" "Wait, the chief listened with interest.

When I came to the house of the pickled vegetables in the cooking class, there were labels on the edge of each vegetable tank, what "multi-flavored spicy cabbage", "five-spice snow red", "sweet and sour green pepper section", it was really like that, and halfway back to the deputy company commander in the crowd looked at each other and smiled. The chief came to the vat of pickled cabbage.

He said, "Young man, can you popularize the common sense of pickled cabbage to everyone." Shortly, it can be summed up in three sentences. Half of the way, he was not trained to speak like this, so he opened his mouth and said, "Wash the cabbage and blanch it with boiling water for half an hour." After cooling, arrange in a large vat for compaction. Ten pots of water and a spoonful of salt, the brine is covered with cabbage, put it in a cool place, and you can eat it in half a month. ”

The chief said, "What are you saying three sentences, this is one sentence." The chief's words caused everyone to laugh again, and applauded halfway through his answer. The chief was very satisfied with the halfway answer.

It was almost 11 o'clock. The convoy left the company and headed down the mountain. Next to the pig barn, there is only one person left in the halfway.

After feeding the pigs at noon, he fell asleep halfway through. He just couldn't hold it anymore. When it was almost dark, someone knocked on the door, and it was the platoon leader. The platoon commander came to call him to join the company's roll call. Halfway through, he didn't tie his belt, he wore his hat, and ran to the back of the assembled team. Standing next to Sergeant Wang Qiang.

At this time, the squad leader on duty organized the report, and then the company commander took a roll call. Anyone who clicked on the name replied, "Yes!" The company commander gave Liu Bancheng the last point, and Liu Bancheng instinctively replied, "Here!" ”。

This "arrival" shocked me halfway. It's been almost a year, and at this time, there is no chance to shout "Arrive!" His face was burning and his eyes were filled with tears. Halfway was standing in the last row, the light was dim, and no one paid attention to his emotions.

The company commander continued. "Today, we are even grateful to a person, this person, who has been away from us for a year." "During the year, he has done a lot of things for us, and many things I don't want to mention are known to everyone." "And throughout the year, I have always blamed myself, because this person, the work has been very good, but because of an accident, I was adjusted."

Because it was also a momentary anger at that time, he also beat him, which made him suffer a lot of grievances. And these grievances, I am the company commander, and I am responsible. Here, I sincerely apologize to this fighter and say sorry! ”

At this time, there was no applause in the ranks, and under the illumination of the lights, there were many recruits, and some veterans had tears in their eyes.

At that moment, the wind also became gentle and silent.

At this time, the company commander continued, "It is in this situation that this soldier, with the strength of one person, added points to our company and sent a generous gift to all of us. It is because of this comrade that our company was recommended by the brigade as a model company for logistics construction. "Now, we welcome him to the stage with applause, please, Liu Bancheng." Everyone applauded. But after the applause, no one came to the front, and the platoon commander of the first soldier hurriedly came to the back of the team to look for him. I didn't see Liu Bancheng, obviously standing behind.

At this time, the company commander said, the fifth squad leader, the second squad leader, the sixth squad leader, and the deputy company commander, go separately to find it! The pig barn, the vegetable cellar, and the piece of land that I often go to halfway, everyone has searched for it, and they have all shouted, but there is still none. The company commander said, "I'd better go find it, everyone disband!"

The company commander returned to the dormitory to change his clothes first, and he told the communicator, "Let the cooking squad cook four or five plates of dumplings and prepare a bottle of good wine." Half an hour later, let's go, don't tell anyone. After the company commander finished explaining, he followed the stream to the small bridge at the junction of the third and first companies. The stream was flowing quietly, and by the stream, a person sat quietly.

The company commander came behind the man and did not squeak or speak. The man who was sitting was already aware. He turned around, but the moment he turned around, a pair of thick arms embraced him in his arms. Halfway through, he couldn't control himself anymore, couldn't control his feelings, and cried loudly. The communicator, who was standing on the edge, also cried.

That night, both Bancheng and the company commander drank a lot of wine and talked a lot, sometimes talking while drinking, sometimes talking while crying.

At this time, squad leader Ren and veteran Dongzi opened the curtain and came to the company commander. Obviously drank too much halfway, but the company commander had a lot of money, and he was not confused. He asked, "Is there anything wrong, Ren squad leader, do you want to sit down and have a bottle too!" Before Ren squad leader could answer, Dongzi behind him stood forward and said, "Company commander, I'm really sorry, I specifically apologized to Liu Bancheng." ”

He is the hometown of the squad leader and the company commander. He is medium-sized, with a small head, but a square face, and usually talks and laughs among veterans, but he is serious in front of recruits and wants to save face. The company commander wondered, "Apologize, what to apologize, they are all comrades-in-arms and class brothers." "Come, you and Squad Leader Ren come together, have a drink!"

I was a little dizzy halfway through, not hearing what they were saying.

I heard the veteran Dongzi say, "Half-way, alas, half-way!" I'm here to apologize to you! He shouted his halfway name twice in a row. Halfway was bloodshot, and he raised his head, reluctantly trying to listen to the veteran.

At this time, the veteran turned his face to the company commander and said, "Company commander, I'm sorry for this brother, at the beginning of the year, when I was shooting at the target, on the shooting range, it was when I was protecting him, I moved my hands and feet on the gun, and pulled his gun single shot to the burst." It was I who caused losses to the company and him, and the company commander was my mistake, so you criticize me! ”

After hearing this, the company commander stood up, shook back and forth a few times, and then stood firm, staring straight at Dongzi.

Halfway through, I understood what the veteran was saying. Halfway open, he couldn't speak, and his eyes were full of water.

Fuyuko continued, "Company Commander, it's been almost a year since this happened, and in this year, as soon as I saw him, I regretted it. Right now I'm about to be demobilized, and I don't want to go home with guilt! "Company commander, I've said everything I should say, you can deal with me, I admit it!" Then he pulled up Liu Bancheng, who was paralyzed on the ground and running with tears in his eyes. "Little brother, I wish the squad leader, I wish you, you forgive my brother, if you are not angry, you will beat me up!"

At this time, the squad leader Ren behind him stepped forward and said, "Xiangang, you let go of the halfway!" Listen to me! Ren squad leader, turned his face, and said to the company commander: "The company commander is like this, he just wants to save face, and veterans are like this in front of recruits." "When they were halfway through the work, there was a little friction between them. Our company has a rule that you can pick up your own things when you open the warehouse every Friday. said that one day, it was Tuesday, and Xiangang had an urgent matter and wanted to open the warehouse in advance halfway. But when Bancheng just came, he just admitted death, and he couldn't discuss it, and after his face was swept up, he secretly decided to pack up his paperwork! ”

"That day, after he came back, as soon as he talked about it, those veterans who had the same experience were all fried, saying that it was okay, a new egg, what kind of thing if he didn't give the veteran face, he had to find a chance to let him know what was going on!" Seeing that the company commander was still listening, the squad leader Ren said, "Actually, I also blamed me for this matter, and I didn't persuade it in time." Thought it was just a joke. But who would have thought. On the day of the shooting, something really happened! In this regard, I am responsible, company commander, you punish me, I am not worthy of being this squad leader! ”

After speaking, Ren was the squad leader, came over and hugged Liu Bancheng, "Don't say anything, Bancheng, I'm sorry for you as the squad leader!" I was wrong! "The company commander here is also full of tears.

He was stunned, lifted the bottle high, and slammed it to the ground! Just listen to the sound of "pop", the smell of wine bursts out, and droplets splash everywhere!
