At this time, the chief asked, "Young man, your pigs are quite good. They are much better than the ones I raised when I was a child." The chief smiled. He also smiled stiffly halfway. "They said that you raised all these pigs by yourself. Then tell me, how do you keep so many pig pens so clean by yourself, and how do you keep the pigs so fat?"
These are two questions. At this time, I feel like I have returned to the feeling I had when I first joined the army. He saluted first and then spoke, "Report to the chief, these two questions are actually the same problem." Chief: "Really? Tell me!" "Raising pigs and managing people are the same. They are like us soldiers Likewise, if you really care about them, they will be willing to listen to you. So, they can sleep when you want them to. They can pee wherever you want them to. It’s all at your command.”
After hearing this answer halfway, there was applause and laughter from outside the circle. The chief said, "Hey, little guy, let's not forget that your metaphor is very vivid. This is the first time I have heard your pig-raising lesson." Then there was another round of applause and flashing lights. Afterwards, a large group of people surrounded the leader and passed by the door of the vegetable cellar. The commentary prepared by the deputy company commander in advance was omitted.
The chief just grabbed Liu halfway and asked him to introduce how the vegetable cellar was managed. Halfway through the process, he suddenly said the things his mother always said when he was at home. The chief was very interested in what "cabbages must be dried first before being put into the cellar, potatoes and radishes should be covered with soil, and they should be turned over frequently and ventilated frequently, so that the inside and outside will not go bad!" and so on.
When we arrived at the pickling room of the cooking class, there were labels on the edge of each vegetable vat, such as "multi-flavor spicy cabbage", "five-spice snow red", "sweet and sour green pepper segments", that's really what happened , turned around halfway and smiled at the deputy company commander in the crowd. The chief came to the big vat for pickling sauerkraut.
He said: "Young man, can you tell everyone about the common sense of pickling sauerkraut? To make it short, just use three sentences to summarize it." Halfway through, he didn't have any training in speaking like this, so he opened his mouth and said, "Wash the cabbage and blanch it in boiling water." Let it cool for half an hour. After it cools down, place it in a large vat and compact it. Ten basins of water and one spoonful of salt. Cover the cabbage with the salt water and put it in a cool place. It will be ready to eat in half a month. "
The chief said, "What are you talking about? This is just one sentence." The chief's words made everyone laugh again and applauded for the half-way answer. The chief was very satisfied with Ban Cheng's answer.
It's almost 11 o'clock. The convoy then left and headed down the mountain. Next to the pig house, only one person was left halfway.
After feeding the pigs at noon, he fell asleep halfway through. He couldn't hold it any longer. When it was almost dark, someone knocked on the door. It was the platoon leader. The platoon leader called him to attend the company's late roll call. Halfway through, I didn’t tie my belt, but put on my hat, and ran behind the assembled team. Stand next to Sergeant Wang Qiang.
At this time, the squad leader on duty organized the report, and then the company commander called the roll call. Everyone whose name was called answered "Yes!" The company commander called Liu Bancheng last, and Liu Bancheng instinctively replied, "Yes!".
The sound of "arrived" shocked me halfway. It has been almost a year, and now he has not had the chance to shout "Arrival!" His face is burning and there are tears in his eyes. Standing in the last row halfway through, the light was dim and no one paid attention to his emotions.
The company commander continued. "Today, our company would like to thank a person who has been away from us for a year." "During this year, he has done a lot of things for us, and everyone knows many things even if I don't say them." "And this Throughout the year, I have been blaming myself because this person has always done a good job, but because of an accident, I changed his position."
"Because I was angry at that time, I even beat him, which caused him a lot of grievances. As a company commander, I am responsible for these grievances. Here, I sincerely apologize to this soldier , say sorry!"
At this time, there was no applause in the team. Under the illumination of the lights, there were many recruits and some veterans had tears in their eyes.
At that moment, the wind became gentle and silent.
At this time, the company commander continued, "In this case, this soldier used his own strength to add points to our company and sent us a generous gift. Our company, because of this comrade, 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. However, after the applause, no one came to the front. The platoon leader of the Zhanyi soldiers hurriedly came to the back of the team to look for them. Liu Bancheng was missing, he was obviously standing at the back.
At this time, the company commander said, the fifth squad leader, the second squad leader, the sixth squad leader, and the deputy company commander should go look for them separately! Everyone has looked for the pig house, the vegetable cellar, and the field that I often visited during the journey, and called for it, but there is still nothing there. The company commander said, "It's better for me to go look for it. Let's disperse!"
The company commander returned to the dormitory and changed his clothes first. He told the correspondent, "Let the cooking team cook four or five plates of dumplings and prepare a bottle of good wine. We will go in half an hour. Don't tell others." After the company commander finished his explanation, , just follow the creek to the small bridge at the junction of the third company and the first company. The creek was flowing quietly, rushing, and beside the creek, a person was sitting quietly.
The company commander came behind this man without making a sound or speaking. The person sitting there has noticed it. He turned around, but the moment he turned around, a pair of thick arms hugged him. Halfway through, I could no longer control myself or my emotions, and burst into tears. The correspondent standing on the edge also cried.
That night, both Ban Cheng and the company commander drank a lot and talked a lot. Sometimes they talked while drinking, sometimes while crying.
At this time, squad leader Ren and veteran Dongzi opened the door curtain and came to the company commander and the others. It was obvious that he had drunk too much during the middle of the journey, but the company commander had enough energy and was not confused. He asked, "What's the matter? Squad leader Ren, would you like to sit down and have a bottle too!" Before squad leader Ren could answer, Dongzi behind him stood forward and said, "Company commander, I'm really sorry. I'm here specifically." It’s for Liu Bancheng to apologize.”
He is a fellow squad leader and a fellow company commander. He is of medium height, with a small head and a round face. He usually talks and laughs among the veterans, but in front of the recruits he is serious and wants to save face. The company commander wondered, "Apologise, no matter what, we are all comrades-in-arms and class brothers." "Come, come with Squad Leader Ren and have a drink!"
I was a little dizzy halfway through and couldn't hear what they were saying.
Just listen to the veteran Dongzi say, "Ban Cheng, alas, Ban Cheng! I'm here specifically to apologize to you!" He called Ban Cheng's name twice. Halfway through, he was bloodshot and raised his head, reluctantly wanting to listen to what the veteran had to say.
At this time, the veteran turned to the company commander and said, "Company Commander, I'm sorry for this brother. During the target shooting at the beginning of the year, on the shooting range, when I was protecting him, I tampered with the gun and made him lose his gun." The hair was pulled and the continuous hair was fired. It was me who caused losses to the company and him. It was me who was wrong, company commander, so just criticize me!"
After hearing this, the company commander stood up loudly, swayed back and forth a few times, then stood firm again, staring directly at Dongzi.
Halfway through, I understood what the veteran was saying. His mouth was open halfway, unable to speak, and his eyes were filled with water.
Dongzi continued, "Company Commander, it's been almost a year since this happened. During this year, whenever I saw him, I regretted it. Now I'm about to be demobilized, and I don't want to go home with guilt!" "Company Commander, I have said everything I should say, and I will accept it no matter how you deal with me!" Then he pulled up Liu Bancheng who was lying on the ground and running with tears in his eyes. "Little brother, I want you to be the squad leader, and I want you to forgive me. If you don't let go, you will hit me even if you beat me!"
At this time, squad leader Ren who was behind him stepped forward and said, "Xiangang, let go half way! Listen to me!" Squad leader Ren turned around and said to the company commander: "This is what happened to the company commander, Xiangang, he To save face, veterans are like this in front of recruits." "When they were working as clerks in the middle, they had a little friction. Our company has a rule that you can take out your own things when we open the warehouse every Friday. One day, it was Tuesday, Xiangang was in an emergency and wanted Ban Cheng to open the warehouse in advance. But Ban Cheng had just arrived at that time, and he just accepted death and refused to discuss it no matter what. After Xiangang's face was involved, he secretly made up his mind to pack up the documents! "
"That day, after he came back, when he talked about it, the veterans who had the same experience were all upset, saying that it was not bad, how could a new guy do it if he didn't give the veterans face? We must find opportunities to let him know What's going on!" Seeing that the company commander was still listening, squad leader Ren added, "Actually, I was blamed for this matter because I didn't resolve it in time. I thought it was just a joke. But who would have thought that something really happened on the day of target practice? ! I am responsible for this, company commander, please punish me, I am not worthy of being the squad leader!"
After saying that, Ren squad leader came over and hugged Liu Bancheng, "No more words, Bancheng, I am the squad leader, I'm sorry for you! I was wrong!" The company commander here was also full of tears.
He was stunned, raised the bottle high, and slammed it to the ground! Just listen to the sound of "pop", the smell of wine bursts out, and the droplets splash!
