With the help of the two female soldiers, the artillery company's party was more lively than ever.
At the end of the party, Wang Ke first extended his wedding congratulations to wireless squad leader Huang Zhonghe and his wife, then asked for leave from instructor Ding, and took Wu Xiangyu and Ye Qianqian around the camp to visit.
Here, the two girls visited the neatly arranged artillery, machine guns, armored vehicles, tanks, and communication vehicles up close, looked around the residences of several battalions, and then returned to the guest house.
Before returning to the guest house, Wang Ke took out the hazelnuts and peanuts that Gu Maolin had brought for him, left more than half of them for platoon leader Yan Jiao and the three squads, and brought the rest to the guest house.
Since it was the fourth day of the new year, the reconnaissance team went on a business trip ahead of schedule. Therefore, from the first to the third day of the new year, Wang Ke arranged this for you:
The first day of the Lunar New Year: Happy New Year.
Before breakfast, we went to the company headquarters, wireless squad leader Huang Zhonghe's new house, and platoon leader Zuo Weibing's house to pay New Year's greetings;
Then I took leave to go to Xishan to pay New Year greetings to Uncle Dong Pianfang.
The second day of the Lunar New Year: Go to the market.
Accompany the two of them to the nearby Lettuce Village to attend the market and visit the temple fair here.
The third day of the Lunar New Year: Appreciate the scenery of Juma River
If you have time, go and see the site of a former inn here.
Originally, Wu Xiangyu was planning to go home after seeing Wang Ke, but he was really worried about Ye Pianpian. In addition, I heard that Wang Ke's reconnaissance team was going on a business trip on Thursday to help the regiment's health team organize the medicine library, so I decided to stay and go home on Friday. As soon as the party was over, I returned to the guest house and heard Wang Ke telling the two of them this arrangement. While Ye Xian went to the public restroom at the other end of the corridor, she took out a pair of shoes and two pairs of socks from her bag, as well as five pieces of ten yuan, and handed them to Wang Ke.
"What are you doing?"
"Stop being so polite to me. I don't know you yet, and I can't save a penny in my pocket right now. Tomorrow you go to your platoon leader's house to pay New Year greetings. Don't you need to give New Year's money? When I go to Xishan to visit your Uncle Geng, I don't need to buy anything to take with me. ?”
When Wang Ke thought about it, it was really like this. His pockets were emptied by Gu Maolin. He really wanted to sleep and immediately gave him a pillow. "Then, I'll lend it to you."
Wu Xiangyu gave him a blank look. "Wang Ke, how many times have I told you, don't tell me so clearly. Do you still have enough shoes, socks, and military uniforms to wear now? The service club in our nursing school sells them, and I bought them for you. "
"That's enough, that's enough. Last time we went on a mission for the munitions unit, we even got a set as a reward."
"Let me wrap it up for you." Wu Xiangyu picked up a newspaper from the table, wrapped the shoes and socks, put them aside, and stuffed the money into Wang Ke's pocket.
When Ye Xianxian returned to the guest house, the two of them were eating hazelnuts and peanuts brought by Wang Ke.
"Don't worry, I also brought some delicious food!" Ye Xianzhan took out three paper bags from her bag like magic. One pack of sugar twists, one pack of peanut candy, and one pack of fried watermelon seeds.
As soon as the things were put away, someone knocked on the door.
Wang Ke opened it and saw that platoon leader Yan Jiao was standing at the door with four soldiers from the reconnaissance squad.
"Come in!" Wu Xiangyu greeted like a hostess. It turned out that on the night of New Year's Eve, we were supposed to play poker and chess in the room, but Yan Jiao felt like a cat was scratching her head, and it felt more abrupt to come by herself. So I wanted to ask Luo Shaohuan to accompany me to the guest house to see these two girls.
Who knows, in response to a call, all four soldiers in the reconnaissance squad wanted to come. They have a deep relationship with the squad leader. The squad leader’s girlfriend is everyone’s girlfriend. There’s nothing to say about that.
With the five people joining in, the room suddenly had a strong New Year flavor.
There is food and drink, and there are two beauties in close company. What could be happier than this?
Platoon leader Yan Jiao was very active, sweeping away the previous dullness. As expected of a college student, his conversation skills are obviously superior to those of several soldiers. Moreover, the knowledge he talked about was much richer than that of the soldiers, and he showed off intentionally or unintentionally. Wang Ke couldn't help but admire him and learned about his well-to-do family. Do you know what his grandfather and parents do? I know that his family also has a valuable courtyard house in the most prosperous area of Kyoto.
At the end of hearing this, Wang Ke finally understood that Platoon Leader Yan Jiao might have had bad intentions besides deliberately revealing his wealth. Because he always made excuses for his grandfather in Jinmen, intentionally or unintentionally, and got close to Ye Xuanqian.
As for the four warriors, Niu Suozhu is also from Jinmen, and Hu Yanlou's home is not far from Jinmen, so he is half Jinmen. When the two of them heard that Ye was a teacher at Jinmen University, they naturally reacted more strongly than Yan Jiao. The harness was almost as good as Yan Jiao's, and Yan Jiao was so angry that he wanted to blow his beard several times.
Wang Ke kept sitting there smiling, and finally he couldn't stand it any longer. He pulled Luo Shaohuan to the corridor outside the house.
"Squad leader, how could you come out? You didn't see the platoon leader..."
"Shh!" Wang Ke stood in the corridor and stretched out a finger, and then said: "The platoon leader is happy to meet his grandfather's fellow villagers. This will be good for his physical recovery." After Wang Ke finished speaking, he glanced at Luo Shaohuan. , a feeling of reluctance suddenly surged in his heart, and he now understood the mood of second platoon leader Hu Zhijun when he talked about breaking up that night.
"Squad leader, are you worried?"
"Oh, it's a little bit, but I'm very happy for you."
"Monitor, I don't understand what you mean!"
"Early tomorrow morning, you can hitch up the company's donkey cart. I want to use it and find two more fur coats."
"Okay, monitor..."
"Shao Huan, this is the third year we have been together. We are about to break up. I feel a little reluctant to let go."
"Monitor, what do you want to say?"
"The company commander has already talked to me. After the new year, the recruits will get off work soon, and you will be transferred to a platoon and a squad as the squad leader."
"What? Monitor, are you kidding me?" Luo Shaohuan suddenly raised his voice, sounding like a quarrel. "I'm not going! I'm in the reconnaissance squad."
Luo Shaohuan's performance was as expected. Wang Ke lowered his hand and signaled to lower his voice. "Shao Huan, revolutionary soldiers are like bricks. They can be moved wherever they are needed. Besides, you are going to be the squad leader. Just like the old platoon leader, you are required to build the company!"
"Then, monitor, can we still meet often?"
"What do you think? The command platoon and the first platoon are door-to-door, and we will arrive as soon as we get out. We are both soldiers of the same year. Logically speaking, you should have been the squad leader a long time ago."
"Then squad leader, who else is moving in our class?"
"Hu Yanlou is also working with you. He has been transferred to the cooking squad as deputy squad leader. However, the affairs between you two need to be kept secret. The platoon leader may not even know about it. If you have time tomorrow, talk to Hu Yanlou."
"Yes, monitor. I especially cherish the days with you. I will try my best to learn from you and be a good monitor." After Luo Shaohuan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something. "Squad leader, after you left today, Gu Maolin, a fellow from Hu Yanlou, came to see you."
"They can't even have a meal or have a party?" Wang Ke felt annoyed when he mentioned Gu Maolin.
"It should be done, but I think he's quite anxious."
"Ignore him. Next time you come, tell him that I am taking care of his matter."
"Squad leader, what are you doing for him?"
"Don't ask if you shouldn't know!"
"yes!"
"Let's go in!" Wang Ke pulled Luo Shaohuan and opened the door, only to see smoke filling the room. Platoon leader Yan Jiao actually dropped a Chinese cigarette from his mouth. He was chatting and laughing, completely without the morbid look of a patient who had just been discharged from hospital.
The most hateful thing is that Hu Yanlou and Niu Suozhu also have one in their mouths.
"Platoon leader, are you still smoking?" Luo Shaohuan shouted. This was the first time the whole platoon saw him smoking.
Yan Jiao blew out a smoke ring and smiled. "Isn't it Chinese New Year? I don't usually smoke, but I will only smoke if there are such good cigarettes. Come on, you two should have one too!"
Wang Ke and Luo Shaohuan waved their hands at the same time, and then Wang Ke came over and opened the door. Because she saw Wu Xiangyu and Ye Xianqian frowning, enduring the smoke.
Sit for a while. Luo Shaohuan suggested: "Let's go and let the monitor's two friends rest early."
Everyone stood up together. Yan Jiao seemed a little disappointed, but he also walked out with everyone.
"Wang Ke, take your things." Behind him, Wu Xiangyu handed over the pair of shoes and socks wrapped in newspapers.
Wang Ke took it over, and there was clearly a trace of envy in the eyes of platoon leader Yan Jiao.
After saying goodbye, the whole class formed a line and walked back. Platoon leader Yan Jiao pulled Wang Ke and walked at the end. "Reconnaissance squad leader, do me a favor. Please introduce to me that teacher Ye from Jinmen University. Look, that The female soldier is so beautiful, and the look in her eyes can make people melt. A gentleman will not take away the love of others, so give me this university teacher!"
Wang Ke felt sick for a while, but he was the platoon leader and he couldn't say anything back. "Platoon leader, they and I are just friends. We have worked together. If you want to chase someone, you can chase them. I have no objection. But I won't introduce them to you. You already know them."
"Really! Then I'm not welcome." Wang Ke's attitude obviously made Yan Jiao overjoyed. He pumped his fists excitedly, and his abdomen no longer felt uncomfortable, and even jumped a little.
Then, he said: "I'll tell you one more thing. It's about the three-page fragment. When you have time, we'll finish it as soon as possible. My grandfather has urged me several times."
This is a serious matter. Wang Ke wanted to ask him several times since he was discharged from Kyoto after beating Yanjiao, but there was no suitable opportunity. He was so excited tonight that he took the initiative to mention it.
"No problem, I'm waiting for your confirmation."
Back at the company, while canceling his leave, Wang Ke took the opportunity to ask instructor Ding for leave tomorrow to go to Xishan to visit Uncle Geng and pay New Year greetings. Instructor Ding strongly agrees with this point. People should not forget their roots, let alone be diligent when they need it, and then be left indifferent after the work is done.
"Okay, you go, you are taking the two girls, right? But Wang Ke, what is your relationship with these two girls? Is the soldier the female health worker we saw at the division farm? "Instructor Ding was also a little puzzled. If we were talking about a partner, we wouldn't talk about it like this. It would just be two people talking, and it seems that the relationship between the two girls is quite good.
The two girls shined at the company's party. However, there is no unreasonable visit in the world, so Wang Ke has to be beaten.
"Yes, instructor. But we really worked together, and we will never forget our work friendship." Wang Ke went on to introduce in detail Ye Xianqian's working relationship with her, her father and Professor Wen in the joint archaeological inspection team, as well as this trip I came to Dingxian County on a business trip for a meeting, so I took the opportunity to see why. Wu Xiangyu simply came home to see the company. She knew many people in the company, including the health worker Yu Deben, so she had a good relationship.
"That's not right, Scout Squad Leader, the way I look at those two girls is as if they are glued to you."
"Instructor, I assure you that we are absolutely pure revolutionary friendship!"
