Without any time to talk, the bearded company commander Tian and his party had to go back to make arrangements.
Wang Ke suddenly shouted: "Company Commander, the school here has prepared meals for our company, and the classrooms will be freed up today. Let the comrades move into the primary school."
The bearded company commander Tian frowned when he heard this. "Who asked you to arrange this? Well, we cook by ourselves. It's not easy for the fellow villagers now. We help without causing trouble, and we can't eat in the fellow villagers' pots. Well, and how can we let everyone go back tonight? Even after the shack is set up, the ground is too wet to live in. It doesn’t matter if we stay on the hillside for a few more nights, huh.”
"I..." Wang Ke felt a little aggrieved. At this time, the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun came over and patted him on the shoulder.
"The company commander is right. We must put the interests of the villagers first in everything we do. This is also the tradition of our army. Aren't your squad also sleeping outside? They all think the same thing. You should be your acting village chief. Company commander. If you keep doing this, I will support you.”
"Yes!" Wang Ke saluted, his nose felt sour, he quickly turned around and ran away.
"This reconnaissance squad leader!" Instructor Ding and deputy company commander Lu Zeran looked at his back silently from behind. From yesterday to now, they didn't even have time to sit down and chat with him for a while. Just look at him and the reconnaissance team either cooking or cleaning the toilets, and he will be checking around for a while, busy non-stop.
After eating, the villagers began to leave with their families and belongings one after another, and the primary school suddenly became empty. But under the mat tent, godfather Dong Pianfang and Cuilan stayed there, busy washing pots and lighting fires to boil water.
"Godfather, why didn't you go back?"
"Boy, our family is not in a hurry. Your godmother will go back first. Your sister-in-law and I will prepare some anti-epidemic soup for your troops. In addition, you also need boiling water for your work."
Just as he was talking, the company soldiers walked into the elementary school with their backpacks. Everyone stacked their backpacks neatly in front of Professor Wen's door, and several cadres walked towards this side.
Wang Ke quickly stepped forward, saluted, and then said: "Reporting to the company commander, instructor, staff officer Hu, and deputy company commander, my godfather is making epidemic prevention soup and boiling water for our company."
"Oh, this is too much trouble." The bearded company commander Tian saluted Uncle Dong Pianfang, stepped forward and held his hand, "Thank you, thank you!"
At this time, Wang Ke introduced his godfather Dong Pianfang to the crowd in detail. He deliberately pulled the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun to the front, "Godfather, this is my old platoon leader. Now I am in the artillery section of the regiment." Staff Officer Hu Zhijun, he knows your superb medical skills and has wanted to visit you for a long time, but he has never found the opportunity from yesterday to today."
Hu Zhijun also saluted Uncle Dong Pianfang, "Hello, uncle."
"Reconnaissance squad leader, no, acting village chief. Well, in our company this morning, one platoon plus company headquarters and logistics were responsible for disinfecting the entire village, and two platoons were responsible for cleaning up the streets. Well, I have asked the correspondent to bring the car into the village , should we take a look at your plan first?"
"Yes, company commander. But I have arranged for the whole class to measure the roads in the village first, make them straight and level. Now I call Section Chief Chang to go."
"Xiao Wang, there's no need to shout, we're here." As he said that, Professor Wen came over covered in mud. Behind him were Section Chief Chang and the director of security, also covered in mud.
"Teacher Wen, what are you..." Wang Ke was surprised.
"Early in the morning, I dragged the security director to accompany me to see the place." Professor Wen winked. Wang Ke understood immediately, but now he couldn't help him. "I took a look and found that everything is fine now. Don't worry. I will also accompany Section Chief Chang to have a look in the morning and act as a consultant for you."
Section Chief Chang smiled on the side, "Village Chief Wang, now all the villagers recognize you as the temporary acting village chief. Why don't I find a replacement from the company, and when this time is over, you can stay in Nanshao Village."
Everyone laughed together, and the laughter contained more praise and affirmation.
"Then godfather, let's show the leaders the terrain first, and wait until the epidemic prevention soup is ready for everyone to drink."
"Don't worry, boy, go ahead."
Wang Ke led a group of people towards the village. There were women crying along the way. When they saw their home, many fellow villagers still cried. They shed tears while cleaning up their broken home. This scene makes people feel more and more heavy.
The company has been deployed. Disinfection, disinfection, and road repairs began to move.
The five comrades in the reconnaissance squad were divided into two groups, one for each platoon. Surveying, straightening, and leveling piles have already begun.
Passing through the village and going up the cliff, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Nanshao Village.
"Squad leader Xiao Wang, are you talking about this pool?" Section Chief Chang Gaofeng picked up a stone and threw it towards the pool below, making a "plop" sound. "It seems that the current depth is several meters. It does make sense to build a small reservoir here. It stores water during droughts and releases floods during floods. Moreover, damming and blocking water can avoid direct impact on villages, which is good. The project is divided into three In the first phase, the construction of the water pool is completed. It is not a small project. It must be built at least 800 square meters in size and at least seven or eight meters deep. The bottom is paved with bluestone and the surroundings are poured with cement. In the second phase, each one is completed. Construction of kilometers-long north-south diversion canals..."
"Wait a minute, Section Chief Chang. If you go north to enter the river, why do you have to divert the water to the south?" the security director asked quickly.
"This is to increase the water storage capacity, which can also be used to irrigate the land in the south of the village. In addition, an artificial river can be built to create a sightseeing belt. Once the water flow is too large and the downstream river is blocked, floods can be discharged here."
As expected of a water conservancy expert, he has a far-sighted vision.
Several army cadres nodded frequently, and it seemed that Wang Ke's vision was correct.
"The last phase of the project is to repair the flood outlet on the cliff. It cannot be flooded downwards like this. If the opening is too small, the impact on the bottom will be greater, but if the opening is too large, it will be uncontrollable. Let's do this, I Come and make a plan and drawings. Squad leader Xiao Wang, you are responsible for the field surveying and mapping. We will try to complete the drawings and field piles before we leave, and the village will start renovations later. In addition, our plan of 10,000 acres of fertile land will start from Nanshao The village’s production self-rescue begins and is planned together.”
"I think it works. This plan is very sound. I agree." Professor Wen also nodded frequently. He went down to the pool to wash the mud off his body and shoes.
When he arrived at the pool, he turned to Wang Ke and said, "Xiao Wang, this pool looks quite shallow. There seems to be fish in it?"
Wang Ke smiled. Now there is no time to catch any fish. The whole village's work is all there. "Teacher Wen, why don't I accompany you here to swim in the future and let the fish grow bigger before you catch them."
This was said easily, but instructor Dante still frowned. He was not in the mood to joke now.
Several people walked back, Wang Ke thought, they have to go back quickly. After the road test, it is time to measure each family's homestead. Just wait for Section Chief Chang's drawings to come out and try to complete the surveying and mapping in two days. Also, when I go back today, I want to see Yan Jiao and his comrades in the platoon, especially the old squad leader Huang Zhonghe. From yesterday to now, I haven't even had time to say a complete sentence.
The old platoon leader Hu Zhijun tugged on Wang Ke's sleeves and deliberately fell behind. He wanted to say a few words to Wang Ke.
The group of people descended the cliff one by one and entered the village. The company leader quickly went to check various areas of the company. Wang Ke had to go to see the measurement situation of his class first, and then went to the primary school to organize delivery to the company and each household. Boiling water and anti-epidemic decoction.
The director of security also had to go home and take a look first. Before leaving, Wang Ke said to him: "Director, you have to come back after watching and ask the female director to recruit two or three people. It seems that we will have to cook meals, boil water and epidemic prevention soup for two days collectively."
"Okay, leave this matter to me." The security director also left.
Professor Wen didn't know what he should do. Wang Ke turned his face and said to him: "Teacher Wen, why don't you go back and rest first? Staff Hu and I have to take a look at the measurement first, and then I can go back and arrange the cooking, It’s about boiling water and anti-epidemic decoction.”
"Okay, but Xiao Wang, you have to take it easy." Professor Wen said and left.
The old platoon leader Hu Zhijun followed Wang Ke and walked away while talking. "Reconnaissance squad leader, how is your health now?"
"I'm in good health! Old platoon leader." Wang Ke still used to call Hu Zhijun "platoon leader", and the staff officer seemed to be angry when he called him.
"Bullshit, the agency and the company already know that you vomited blood and went into shock. I guess you are still sick. When you get back from work, go to the regimental health team and let Captain Li give you a good check-up."
"Platoon leader, it's really not necessary. My godfather helped me check it several times. My black donkey may be a treasure. My godfather put a bowl of blood on its neck and asked me to drink it. Then everything was fine. "Wang Ke also thought that the magical changes in his body were more or less related to the raw donkey blood.
"You have a donkey?" Staff Officer Hu Zhijun was stunned and asked quickly.
"It's like this. Our surveying and mapping team is carrying things to the fields. It's really inconvenient. My godfather insisted on giving us a black donkey. I lost dozens of dollars, so I'll just use it as rent from now on. But this donkey is so magical, so Now that I understand human nature, I will tell you slowly when I have time."
"After Staff Officer Sun returned, he sorted out the situation of you and your squad, and the regiment leader and political commissar gave instructions. This time I came with the artillery company to participate in the flood relief in Nanshao Village, and I also want to look after you and the village cadres. Let's talk. You have to be mentally prepared, don't be proud, and make new achievements." Old platoon leader Hu Zhijun warned.
"Don't worry, platoon leader. I will be strict with myself."
"Have you not solved your organizational problem yet?" Hu Zhijun, the old platoon leader, asked again.
Wang Ke shook his head, his face also very embarrassed. This is his pain. Except in front of the old platoon leader, he never showed a trace of dissatisfaction or complaint in front of anyone.
"You write another application and try to get FireWire to join the party."
"good!"
The two walked into the primary school. Uncle Dong Pianfang had already boiled the decoction and boiling water, and was wondering what to do.
"Boy, I'm back. The soup and boiling water are ready. What should I do?"
"Godfather, let's see you off. You and your sister-in-law go back first. The women's director will bring someone to cook for you later. You will also come back here for lunch. The whole village will still sleep here at night. I will go with Staff Officer Hu. It’s up to you.”
