"Why did you remember to put the beer bottle away?" asked platoon leader Hu Zhijun.
"North China is an earthquake zone, and earthquakes have occurred every year in winter in recent years, so I put one in every house."
"Everyone must learn from Wang Ke. There is no need to stand guard tonight. Let's go back to the house."
It was cold and cold outside, but despite this, the comrades still did not dare to go back to the room. They crowded at the door of the outer room. Only Wang Ke entered the inner room, smiled, took off his clothes, got into the bed, and fell asleep soundly.
Wireless squad leader Huang Zhonghe was also very excited when he saw the beer bottle dregs in the basin. The washbasin belonged to him. It was originally placed neatly against the wall, but now it was moved under the stove. When the beer bottle fell down, it hit the washbasin.
A piece of porcelain was smashed off the washbasin, but he didn't feel bad at all because it was Wang Ke's doing.
Everyone was sitting in the outhouse, around the stove, still talking about the earthquake. Platoon leader Hu Zhijun still lives in the wireless class. After all this trouble, he has no sleep at all.
"Wireless squad leader, what do you think of tonight's earthquake?" asked platoon leader Hu Zhijun.
"I think, should we report this matter to the company headquarters tomorrow? Should we set up a tent outside this house?"
"Yeah!" Platoon leader Hu Zhijun nodded, picked up Wang Ke's new stove hook made of steel bars, poked the coals on the fire, and then said: "What I'm talking about is what do you think of this Wang Ke, and how does he think about it?" Put a beer bottle upside down in every room?”
"Wang Ke is a thoughtful person." Huang Zhonghe, the wireless squad leader, is different from Yueyang squad leader of the reconnaissance squad. He prefers Wang Ke.
"Is it really that simple? I wonder if Wang Ke can predict earthquakes?" Previously, deputy company commander Lu Zeran once told platoon leader Hu Zhijun a little bit about Wang Ke, but platoon leader Hu Zhijun felt that , it’s just a coincidence.
Is it a coincidence tonight too? The beer bottle was put away early in the morning and late in the day. He put it away as soon as he took up the job. Platoon leader Hu Zhijun expressed his doubts. Wireless squad leader Huang Zhonghe smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. Wang Ke doesn't have that ability. If he could predict earthquakes, he would have been transferred to the Seismological Bureau long ago."
Platoon leader Hu Zhijun yawned. "You see, the whole platoon is afraid to sleep, but Wang Ke is good. He went into the room alone and fell asleep. He is no longer afraid of earthquakes. Do you think it's strange?" After that, he stood up and went to sleep too. .
Huang Zhonghe said quickly: "Platoon leader, platoon leader, it's snowing."
Everyone crowded to the door to see, snowflakes were floating in the sky, and it was snowing.
Platoon leader Hu Zhijun, who was already lying down, said to Huang Zhonghe in the outer room, "Is it snowing heavily? If it's too heavy, we don't have to get up to do exercises tomorrow morning. We'll have two meals, and then each class will organize self-study in the room."
"Okay." This week, Huang Zhonghe, the wireless monitor, served as the platoon monitor.
The time soon arrived at five o'clock in the morning. The exhausted soldiers of the command platoon still couldn't bear the sleepiness, so they all returned to their respective rooms, got into bed and fell asleep.
Wang Ke's biological clock woke him up, and he would wake up on time at this time every day, within no more than 5 minutes.
Wang Ke put on his clothes quietly, and could clearly feel that it was cold outside. Lifting up the newly installed door curtain, he came to the outhouse. I tidied up briefly, put on my cotton hat, and opened the door. I saw white snow outside the house, and the snow was already ten centimeters deep. And he has no intention of stopping.
He picked up a shovel and walked out of the house, clearing a path. Moreover, the door of each house was cleared, otherwise no one would be able to go out after all the snow fell. The road became clearer and farther away, so Wang Ke simply patrolled the route and cleared a path. This is amazing. After working for more than an hour, this road has not been cleared yet. Looking back, I saw that the road that had just been cleared was now filled with snow again.
Looking at myself again, I feel like I have become a snowman.
Go back quickly, you have done a useless job today. Wang Ke looked up at the sky. The snowflakes fell on his face and were cold, but they had no intention of melting.
This snow will not be light.
Walking back to the room, he gently picked up the pickaxe and went out carrying the bucket.
While the snow is not too heavy now, hurry up and carry the water back, otherwise you will be in trouble even for drinking water.
It was already dawn, and the white snow reflected the sky, making it a white world. Wang Ke kicked high and low, and soon a series of footprints were left behind him, leading directly to the river far away.
After carrying back a load of water, Wang Ke's hat brim and shoulders were covered with thick snow. Pour the water into the jar, then go back and pick up the second load. When the third load of water comes back, the jar is full.
Wireless squad leader Huang Zhonghe got up and saw that the front door had been cleared once, but there was more than two inches of snow.
"Wang Ke, why did you get up so early? No exercise today."
"I know, squad leader, you can't do exercises even if the snow is so heavy." Wang Ke took off his hat and patted the snow on himself. Then move on to pick up the fourth load.
"Why are you carrying so much water? The water tank is already full."
"Squad leader, we have to cook later, and everyone has to wash their faces. Besides, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, so we'd better store some water." Wang Ke rushed out, picked up two more loads in one go, and filled the basin with all the washing water. After pouring water, he gave up.
He ran to the warehouse next door to weave straw curtains.
In large warehouses, grain is temporarily piled during the autumn harvest season every year. The warehouse is currently empty, and the door and some open windows have become a habitat for small animals to come in and out.
There are two kinds of warehouses: one is that there are too many sparrows, and the other is that there are too many rats.
Soon Wang Ke was weaving a pile of straw curtains. It was very cold in the warehouse, and it was not easy to work with gloves on. Taking them off would freeze his hands.
Wang Ke walked to the door, grabbed a handful of snow, and rubbed it vigorously on his hands and face. After a while, the pain in his hands turned into a fire-like heat. He continued to compile, striving for as many as possible. It was laid in front of the door to prevent it from slipping, and there was another piece that he wanted to take to the dry well.
By the time it was time to have breakfast, a long straw curtain had been laid out in front of the door of each class. Wang Ke was at the dry well at this time, and almost a foot of snow had fallen. If it weren't for the cloth bags on his feet, I don't know how much snow would have been filled in the big-toe shoes.
When Wang Ke came, he not only brought a straw curtain, but also carried two sections of tree trunks to hold it down. He lay down at the mouth of the well. A lot of snow had fallen inside, and the haystacks built yesterday had been blown everywhere by the wind. Wang Ke quickly started to clean up the wellhead and the haystacks that had been blown down and buried in the snow. Then he said to the wellhead, "Is it cold? I've brought you a straw curtain." Then he covered it with the straw curtain. At the mouth of the well, lay the fallen straw on top and press it with tree trunks.
I was working vigorously when a voice suddenly came out from behind me.
"Wang Ke, what good things have you hidden in this well?"
Wang Ke looked back and saw that it was squad leader Yueyang. The footprints in the snow gave him away.
"There is nothing. I'm afraid the dry well will be filled with snow."
"Nonsense, go away, let me take a look." Squad leader Yueyang stepped forward, raised his hand and lifted up the tree trunk that was pressed on it, and then opened the straw curtain. There was nothing in the dry well, only some snow and messy things that had drifted in. grass.
"Go back, you'll have nothing to do until you're full." When squad leader Yue Yang saw the stupid soldier in front of him, he shook his head, clapped his hands, turned around and left.
Wang Ke quickly covered the straw curtain again, pressed the tree trunks in place, and followed squad leader Yueyang back. In the eyes of squad leader Yueyang, he was neurotic, and this move now confirmed his judgment of himself.
When we got back to the house, it turned out that the squad leader Yueyang had lost his temper. He was taking off his shoes, and they were filled with snow.
"You went out and found a bag for yourself to put on. Why didn't you find it for me?"
In fact, there are plenty of these broken bags in the warehouse.
My butt is crooked and I blame the leaking toilet. I didn't expect it, and I have to blame others.
When squad leader Yueyang got up in the morning, he found that Wang Ke was not there. Later, he followed the footprints to the gable wall and saw Wang Ke carrying a tree trunk with a straw curtain in the distance. He thought that Wang Ke was hiding something and wanted to catch someone. Unexpectedly, this stupid man went to build a straw curtain for a dry well. Isn't this what you feel when you are full?
After getting angry, squad leader Yueyang ran to platoon leader Hu Zhijun and said it again in a more embellished manner. Platoon leader Hu Zhijun is not the kind of person who is easily fooled.
"Wang Ke, did you make the straw curtain in front of the door?"
"Report to the platoon leader, yes."
Platoon leader Hu Zhijun nodded. He was indeed a good soldier. When he got up early in the morning, he saw that the tanks, buckets, and basins were full. He knew it was Wang Ke who did it. He didn't know what time he started to fetch water.
"You went to cover the dry well with straw curtains."
"Yes, I'm afraid the snow will fill up the dry well."
"Fool, what's wrong with the snow? When the snow melts, it turns into water." Platoon leader Hu Zhijun smiled. He definitely didn't believe what the soldier in front of him said, but he didn't want to expose it. There must be a secret in that dry well.
Both novels and movies are too kind, and they always allow missed people and missed things to meet again. Life is different. Some people and some things will never be seen again after saying goodbye.
The snow continued to fall all day long, with no intention of stopping.
Platoon leader Hu Zhijun called to squad leader Yueyang, "How long can we last with the grain and vegetables you brought?"
"Enough for 10 days, but vegetables are a little lacking."
"Didn't I ask you to hold me for a month?"
"Platoon leader, the car can't fit in. Besides, I didn't expect it to snow."
When platoon leader Hu Zhijun walked to the door, the field team could no longer tell where the road was and where the fields were.
Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, which is really annoying right now.
"Platoon leader, after the snow stops, I will go back to the company, just in time to bring back all the things for the New Year."
"It can only be the."
In the morning, everyone was studying by themselves, but the squad leader Yueyang was playing with the banhu and suona that he brought with him. You can't go to other houses, otherwise it will be disrespectful to him.
Wang Ke doesn't care, but he already has this ability to resist noise. He looked at his nose with his eyes, his nose at his heart, and his mind was clear. Those noises seemed to be far away from him. Holding a book in his hand, he quickly entered the world inside the book.
In the meantime, Wang Ke also went to take a look outside the door. Although the snow was a little lighter, it still had no intention of stopping. It was already more than a foot thick. He just pulled out the straw curtain and spread it again.
"Here comes the dinner!" the monitor on the phone outside the door yelled from the next room.
So everyone picked up their bowls and began to eat in the next room. Upon seeing the food, squad leader Yueyang spoke first.
"Telephone monitor, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you eat the meat I brought yesterday? Do you still want to pickle it and wait for the New Year?"
The squad leader on the phone looked up at platoon leader Hu Zhijun, his face full of innocence.
"Yes, that's what I arranged. We have to be prepared for long-term operations. Today is just cabbage." Platoon leader Hu Zhijun said.
