After returning from the second platoon leader Hu Zhijun, Wang Ke gave up the idea of going elsewhere.
First, he had to quickly take out the rubbings of the two pictures and send them to the second platoon leader Hu Zhijun, and second, he had to wait for a reply to platoon leader Yanjiao.
Seeing Wang Ke hurriedly leaving and returning, taking out the folded window paper from the empty grenade box, and then running away in a hurry, Platoon Leader Yanjiao did not dare to stop him. All we can do is wait quietly.
After a while, Wang Ke came back. He called Yan Jiao to the door: "It's done, platoon leader, I've taken care of your affairs. How can you thank me?"
Yan Jiao was overjoyed and said quickly: "Can you please come to the village to have a meal?"
"I won't eat. I just came back from Inner Mongolia and my stomach is still full of oil and water."
"Then tell me!"
"I haven't thought about it yet. You should come down first. Anyway, you owe me a big favor." Wang Ke just wanted to tease the platoon leader Yan Jiao.
"Okay, where are the photos?"
"I'll try to get the photo to you tomorrow, and you can send it to your grandfather. But I have to make it clear that this is an authentic work. It was torn apart by the rebels and put back together again."
"Well, I know, didn't you say it last time? The beauty of incompleteness is a piece of history in itself. I have already told my grandfather, and he said that as long as it is authentic, even half a piece of paper is worth a lot. "
"Okay, let's make an agreement."
"It's a deal."
The next day, Second Platoon Leader Hu Zhijun went to see Xiao Shao, the photographer of the Political Division, to take pictures, intending to enlarge and develop several five-inch black and white photos. But Wang Ke received a call from Qin Hu in the company, asking him and Liu Liyong to go to his house to play.
Liu Liyong, the acting platoon leader, couldn't leave at all, so Qin Hu could only take Wang Ke away.
After a while, Wang Ke heard the sound of a motorcycle "chugging" at the door in the platoon, and then Qin Hu called there: "Wang Ke, Wang Ke!"
Wang Ke quickly ran out of the platoon and took a look. Good guy, Qin Hu was riding an unknown brand of motorcycle with a local license plate.
"Qin Hu, you are awesome. Where did you get the motorcycle?"
Tan Hu, who was wearing a jacket and casual clothes, was very proud, "Oh my, how is it? Isn't this car beautiful?"
"Your company allows you to ride a motorcycle?"
"Let's go, get in the car." Qin Hu ignored Wang Ke's question and the motorcycle did not turn off.
"Where?"
"Go to my house!"
"Why don't we go to your house by train? You won't let us go on a motorcycle, right?"
"clever!"
"I haven't asked for leave yet, and you didn't say you were leaving right away today."
"Wang Ke, what do you do to your mother-in-law and mother-in-law? I've already asked someone to call you to ask for leave. If you don't believe me, go to the company headquarters and ask."
Wang Ke knows what Qin Hu is capable of, but he doesn't want to be in a hurry, so he can just leave! His home is in the military headquarters, at least 70 to 80 kilometers away from the current barracks. "Then I really need to go to the company headquarters. If the fake is approved, I will probably come back very late today."
"Go on, go on, I'll wait for you here. By the way, if you don't come back tonight, we will come back tomorrow afternoon." Qin Hu stole the show. Many soldiers had already gathered around and looked at the motorcycle. car.
Wang Ke hurried to the company headquarters to ask for instructions. Before he arrived at the company headquarters, as soon as he ran to the mountain wall, he met the bearded company commander Tian walking towards the command platoon.
"Wang Ke, why are you running? I'm going to find you."
Wang Ke quickly stopped and saluted the company commander. "Company Commander, I'm going to find you too."
"What are you looking for? Deputy Commander Qin wants to see you. You should pack up now and go to the military headquarters. Ask the sergeant to get a car and take you to the train station."
Company Commander Bearded Tian didn't know that Qin Hu had come to pick him up. The barracks were eleven or twelve miles away from the train station. At that time, almost every company had a donkey. In addition to buying vegetables and grain, it also used to transport cadres and soldiers to and from their homes.
There is also a donkey beside the artillery. What is called a donkey is a male donkey. Every hour in the middle of the night, he screamed "Ang Ang Ang", which was more accurate than a watch. Moreover, in the entire camp, a donkey brayed, and almost all the donkeys in each company brayed. One after another, it was also a scenery in the camp at that time.
Let’s not talk about this yet. When Wang Ke heard this, he knew that the company commander cared about him, so he didn't explain much and said quickly: "No need to hitch a ride, Qin Hu is here to pick me up."
"Who is Qin Hu?" The bearded company commander Tian didn't know that Qin Hu was the son of Deputy Commander Qin.
"He is a squad leader of the Sixth Company and the son of Deputy Commander Qin."
"Ah, do you know Deputy Commander Qin's son?"
"Company commander, let's go to Inner Mongolia to participate in the special training together."
"Oh, is that the squad leader of the infantry company? I heard that his performance is also very good. Where is he? I'll go and see him." Bearded company commander Tian heard that Deputy Commander Qin's son had come to the company. , I have to go and see it no matter what. It’s not that I want to curry favor, but I want to see what this hard-working cadre’s son looks like?
When they turned around the mountain wall, they saw Tan Hu in casual clothes standing next to the motorcycle that was still on. Bearded Company Commander Tian frowned. He was really a son of a cadre, and he even drove motorcycles to the camp area.
"Company commander, this is Qin Hu." Wang Ke quickly introduced to the bearded company commander Tian.
As soon as Qin Hu heard Wang Ke calling "Company Commander", he got off the motorcycle and hurriedly set up the motorcycle. With his legs snapping together, he saluted the bearded Company Commander Tian.
The bearded company commander Tian returned the salute, thinking that this cadre boy was really a bit unusual. He was able to salute him, so he was not that kind of playboy. But the motorcycle in front of him still made the bearded company commander Tian feel uncomfortable.
"You are Qin Hu. Did you go to Inner Mongolia with our reconnaissance squad leader and participate in the special training?"
"Reporting to the chief, yes. I'm here to pick up Wang Ke and go to the army today. Staff Officer Xing has already called me, right?"
"After the fight, after the fight, how do you go to the army? Take the train, or just ride this motorcycle?" Company Commander Bearded Tian asked.
"We'll go by motorcycle. It's more convenient."
"Seventy or eighty kilometers, the road is not close, so you must pay attention to safety on the road." Company Commander Bearded Tian warned.
"Please don't worry, company commander. I've run on this road before and I'm familiar with it. And I don't drive very fast." When Qin Hu spoke to Company Commander Bearded Tian, his attitude was humble, which made Company Commander Bearded Tian treat him very well. Have a good impression. It would be even more perfect if it weren't for this motorcycle.
"That's good, that's good. When are you leaving?"
"If the company commander agrees, we will set off now."
"Okay, okay." Then Company Commander Tian turned to Wang Ke and said: "You clean up and tell the platoon leader about your work. After you go, listen to Deputy Commander Qin. When will the leader ask you to come back? Please come back anytime and say hello to the chief."
"Yes!" Wang Ke entered the room and didn't know what to bring to the leader. People outside didn't know, but he and Tan Hu knew clearly that there was no deputy commander Tan who wanted to see him during this trip. It was to comply with Tan Hu's appointment. , go to his house as a guest.
Wang Ke suddenly remembered that there were two stones dug out from the top of Shaguaoding Mountain in his grenade box. Wang Ke quickly opened the grenade box. Inside were two so-called volcanic rocks. One side was full of bubbles, while the other side was a smooth strip. He once wrote to Professor Wen about these two volcanic rocks. Professor Wen's reply was that based on the topography of Xishan Mountain, the extinct volcano can be traced back to five million years ago. Thinking about it, he wanted to take the big one to Professor Wen for study, so he picked up a slightly smaller one and put it in his bag, and then said goodbye to Platoon Leader Yanjiao who was lying on the bed.
In fact, Yan Jiao had long heard what the bearded company commander Tian said at the door and was too lazy to go out. He waved to Wang Ke and said, "Go back early and be safe."
"Yes, platoon leader, I'll try to come back tomorrow." Then he leaned down and said, "Would you like to bring something back? I heard that the Caohe donkey meat over there is good, can you bring two pieces back to try?"
"Okay, but hurry up, I'm still waiting for your photo." He didn't forget it.
Wang Ke nodded and went out with his bag on his back. The two of them got on the motorcycle and drove towards the gate in a hurry.
After driving for more than two hours, Wang Ke only felt that the wind was running fast and his face was numb. The motorcycle finally entered the military headquarters.
Qin Hu arrived at the door of his house by a familiar route. Wang Ke felt like a little rabbit was jumping around in his heart. This was his first time as a guest at the chief's house. When he was in Tianjin before, he visited Professor Ye Rongguang's home, which was a home for intellectuals. Now it is the General's Mansion. If it were placed in ancient times, it would be incredible.
The courtyards of military chiefs are all a row of zigzag bungalows with a small courtyard and red bricks and gray tiles. There are seven or eight bungalows. The door is greeted by a relatively large living room with a wing on each side of the living room.
Outside the door, there are two guest rooms on one side and the dining room and kitchen on the other side.
The small courtyard was kept very clean, with not a single blade of grass, except for a few vegetables planted on one side.
Qin Hu first took Wang Ke to the guest room next door. After Wang Ke came in, he looked at the room and found that there was a bathtub, the kind where you could take a hot bath.
When we were in the barracks, we could only take a bath once a week. It was a big bath that two companies couldn't even fit in.
Qin Hu parked his motorcycle and chatted with Wang Ke in the guest room to dispel his nervousness and anxiety.
After a while, I heard a bell-like, slightly hoarse question coming from outside the door: "Tiger, are you having trouble riding your old motorcycle again? You are not allowed to take it away when you come back this time." Deputy Commander Qin returned. , he saw the motorcycle placed in the yard at a glance.
Tan Hu quickly led Wang Ke out. Deputy Commander Tan, who was wearing a military uniform, frowned when he saw Tan Hu, who was wearing casual clothes. Wang Ke was following behind him. Deputy Commander Tan looked at him and was stunned.
"Reporting to the chief, I am Wang Ke!"
Deputy Commander Qin recognized Wang Ke and immediately laughed, "Wang Ke, reconnaissance squad leader, you are back from Inner Mongolia. I heard from Tiger that your regiment did well and won second place. I was about to ask Ask them about the training office, why don't you report to me when you come back?"
"Chief, we have just returned to the barracks. We came to see you today and brought you something." After saying this, Wang Ke turned around and walked into the room to get the satchel.
As soon as he heard about the gift, Deputy Commander Qin's face became a little unhappy. The soldiers now started to do this. When Wang Ke took out his satchel, Deputy Commander Qin asked, "Forget the gifts, I don't need them either. You can take them back to eat!"
"Report to the chief, you can't eat this, it's a stone." As he said that, he took out the volcanic stone from his bag. Qin Hu didn't know that Wang Ke had brought such a gift to his father.
Deputy Commander Qin saw it was a stone and felt relieved, "What kind of stone?"
"It's a five-million-year-old volcanic stone. I dug it from the mountain. If I carve a wooden base, it would be even more perfect."
"What? Five-million-year-old volcanic stone. I like this. Soldiers like strong and fire!"
Deputy Commander Qin took it and looked at it carefully. It was quite stylish. He kept saying, "Very good, very good!"
