As soon as Gu Maolin's words came out, Wang Ke was stunned.
In this regard, he is the same as Luo Shaohuan, no, it should be said that he is the same as all the soldiers in the reconnaissance squad, emphasizing love and justice.
Wang Ke said nothing more, and the two climbed up the slope, sat under the stars, and started chatting.
From ambition to ideal, from life to the future... Gu Maolin kept chatting and yawned, but Wang Ke became more and more interested in talking. He wanted to sit down like this so much, otherwise he would not be able to sleep even if he returned to the room and counted sheep until dawn. .
When the two returned to the room, it was almost eleven o'clock.
After getting up early the next morning, after breakfast, the Perak surveying and mapping team set off early. They need to make the most of all the sunny days without fear of rain, and at the same time complete most of their field work before summer arrives.
Section Chief Chang Gaofeng drove out and ran toward Xishan again along the road. After walking seven or eight kilometers, the car stopped on the side of the road. The reconnaissance team unloaded the equipment and the little black donkey in a hurry, put the unused items in the cab and locked them up, and put the useful items in the panniers and followed them around.
After passing through the ditch survey line completed on Friday, we continued to measure and map more than 20 acres of farmland from west to east. Today’s task is to survey and map 10,000 acres of fertile land on the south bank of the Juma River, and strive to complete three Measurement and mapping of ten acres of land.
The wheat has not been seen for several days. It has already jointed and grown very deep, and the mapping is completely running through the middle of the field. It’s not easy for farmers in Ding County this year, so Wang Ke asked them not to step on the fields as much as possible and to always walk on the field edges. As a result, some time was wasted. By ten o'clock in the morning, only five or six hundred acres of land had been worked.
"Squad leader, this way of doing things may not work. If you still follow this method, I estimate that you can make up to 20 yuan today." Song Ruimin ran over and said anxiously.
"What do you want to do?" Wang Ke valued Song Ruimin's opinion. Among the veterans, he had the most flexible mind.
"Let's make another point, go hand in hand, and at the same time verify each other."
"What do you mean, we split into two groups?"
"Yes, one master and one auxiliary. The theodolite is the master, and the steering wheel is the auxiliary. I take the hemp stalk to take charge of the main road, and the ox lock post and sweet potato take care of the auxiliary road."
Song Ruimin's idea was indeed a good one. Wang Ke thought about it and asked again: "Then who will drive the piles?"
"As long as we derive another base point, then the same person can lift the benchmark and drive the piles. Let Lao Gu be responsible for delivering the piles to our two groups, and Section Chief Chang will be responsible for inspection and correction."
"What about me, what do I do?"
"Squad leader, you don't have to do anything. You are responsible for commanding." Niu Suozhu interjected. It seemed that he also agreed with Song Ruimin's idea.
"Go away, you've been working for a long time just to get rid of me. Is it because I'm so slow?"
"Squad leader, you are overthinking. Maybe you will have other tasks in the afternoon. Are you still worried about Suo Zhu and me?" Song Ruimin emphasized again that these soldiers have grown rapidly. Which artillery squad will they serve as squad leaders now? All good.
"Okay, if you dismiss me, I will send the stakes to Gu Maolin." Wang Ke smiled, turned to Gu Maolin in the distance and shouted. "Maolin, I'll go to the truck and pull some more stakes." After saying that, Wang Ke led the little black donkey to the pickup truck to pull the stakes.
Several soldiers behind Wang Ke looked at each other and laughed.
Song Ruimin murmured to himself: "The squad leader is too tired, we have to let him rest."
Besides, Wang Ke was holding the little black donkey and saw from a distance a man standing next to the pickup truck, wearing a sweatshirt, leaning on a bicycle, with his back to himself, looking around on both sides of the road. Wang Ke felt a shiver in his heart, thinking, in broad daylight, could someone steal this wooden stake? He quickened his pace, and when he was still a hundred or ten meters away, he shouted loudly, "Hey! What are you doing? Do you want to steal something?!"
The man turned around when he heard the sound. Wang Ke laughed "haha" at the sight, "Old squad leader, why are you acting like a thief? I thought someone wanted to steal something from our car!"
That person was Huang Zhonghe, the wireless squad leader. When he saw it was Wang Ke, he threw his bicycle and ran over. As he ran, he couldn't help shouting: "Oh, scout squad leader, you made it so hard for us to find you!"
"Looking for me? You?" Wang Ke was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the wireless monitor Huang Zhonghe who ran in front of him and asked.
"Yes, our wireless class and telephone class spread out early in the morning, along the Juma River and this road, divided into eight directions to look for you. When I saw this car, I suspected that it belonged to you. I believe it even more when I see the wooden piles on the car. Take a walk and come back with me immediately."
"Going back where?"
"Go back to the barracks. I can't find you today. The instructor and company commander will go crazy."
Upon hearing the wireless monitor's words, Wang Ke trembled all over and secretly screamed, "Oh no," could it be that the "godfather incident" was exposed? He led the black donkey and continued walking forward, arriving in front of the pickup truck, ready to install wooden stakes.
"Why are you looking for me?" Wang Ke asked.
"Good thing. Today the groups and branches are going to discuss your joining the party?"
"What?" Wang Ke threw away the wooden stake in his hand, grabbed the hand of wireless squad leader Huang Zhonghe, and asked excitedly: "Old squad leader, what is going on?"
"I don't know the specifics. I have to sign up today. You see, the discussions in each group have not been completed yet, your application form has not been filled in, the two introducers have not been found, and the branch meeting still has to be held. There are so many things and procedures. , you have to go back with me now."
Wang Ke only felt his heart beating violently. He couldn't believe the joy falling from the sky.
There must be a reason why happiness comes so suddenly. He looked at Huang Zhonghe, the wireless monitor, to make sure he was joking?
"Do you think I'm joking with you? I rode a bicycle for thirty kilometers during class time, and I'm joking with you? It's rare for the instructor to be merciful now." Huang Zhonghe, the wireless monitor, was also very excited, even more excited than he himself was joining the party. Although he didn't know the real reason and was curious about why there was such a violent reversal, in his heart, Wang Ke's growth was obvious to all and he should have joined the party long ago.
"No, no, old squad leader, I was wondering if the instructor would use this method to test me again. Well, I'd better go on a business trip with peace of mind. I can't go back with you." Wang Ke thought, this is probably the right thing to do. way of doing. Instructor Ding has repeatedly asked himself to undergo various complex tests before. If this is also a "special" test, it would be ridiculous to go back rashly.
"Reconnaissance squad leader, I don't think it's a test. This is a task assigned by the deputy company commander." Huang Zhonghe was also a little shaken, but he still firmly believed that it was true.
"Old squad leader, joining the party organization is a very serious matter. It will never be so hasty. Recommendation, organizational training, filling out forms, finding introducers, and meetings can be completed in half a day. Have you seen it?"
Wang Ke's words stopped the wireless squad leader Huang Zhonghe from asking, "Never!" Never even heard of it. Just after you write the application, if the branch agrees to list you as a party-building activist, you will need to participate in party education, arrange special training people, talk to you every two weeks, report your thoughts, and fill in training records. Wang Ke does not have this procedure; when the development target is determined to be mature, you must find two introducers yourself and report to the branch. After the branch agrees, the introducer must talk to you separately, and this procedure does not exist either.
This is no child's play, and Wang Ke's considerations are not unreasonable.
Huang Zhonghe said: "It's better than this. Scout squad leader, you go back with me first. When we get to the ammunition depot, you wait there. I'll go back and take another look. If it's true that I pick you up again, and if it's a joke, I'll sue the regiment." Here. We soldiers also have dignity!"
"Well, our place is full of carrots and pits. I'll send some wooden stakes over first. I'll arrange the work, and it's time to eat soon. After you finish eating here, I'll ask Section Chief Chang to drive you there. We can definitely arrive in half an hour."
Wireless monitor Huang Zhonghe heard it and it made sense. "Well, I didn't even eat anything when I came out this morning. Is the food here good?"
"We all eat at fellow villagers' houses. Today it's at the village chief's house. It's definitely better than the company's food."
As they spoke, the two men picked up dozens of wooden stakes from the pack carrier of the black donkey, walked three or four miles, and drove the black donkey to the surveying site.
"Hey, old squad leader, why are you here?" Song Ruimin and Gu Maolin's sharp eyes saw Huang Zhonghe, the wireless monitor next to Wang Ke. Everyone stopped what they were doing and ran over together, even section chief Chang Gaofeng came over.
"I'm here to take your squad leader back to the barracks. Even the leader has something to do with him." Huang Zhonghe, the wireless squad leader, didn't dare to talk about the development of the organization, so he had to be careless.
Song Ruimin was happy when he heard it. "Squad leader, what did I just say? Maybe you have other tasks in the afternoon. Come on, come on. Don't forget to bring us delicious food when you return to the company."
"We're not leaving now. We'll leave after lunch. Everyone, hurry up and work." Wang Ke looked at this moment and found that he was already far away from the place he just left. Then he asked: "Song Ruimin, how is your current speed?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem if we take out thirty acres of fields today."
"Squad leader Xiao Wang, do you want to go back to the company at noon?" Section Chief Chang Gaofeng asked.
"Yes, Section Chief Chang, the company is in an emergency. This is the wireless squad leader of our platoon. He just came to me on a bicycle."
"Then let's work for a while longer, finish work a little early, eat early, and then I'll see you off."
"Hey! Thank you, Section Chief Chang."
So, Wang Ke hurriedly and wireless squad leader Huang Zhonghe drove the little black donkey to deliver wooden stakes to the two groups respectively.
By the time it was almost time for lunch, a few more fields had been worked, and twelve hundred-acre fields had been completed. Before the meal, Wang Ke called several soldiers together and arranged the work.
Huang Zhonghe, the wireless squad leader, just told Wang Ke on the road that he would not be able to come back tonight. The most optimistic thing is to come back tomorrow afternoon, because the deputy company commander secretly said to him that even after the branch meeting, there are still people designated by the direct team. Special person talks, face-to-face assessment by the League Political Office.
After lunch, Section Chief Chang Gaofeng threw the bicycle of wireless squad leader Huang Zhonghe in the pickup truck and drove the two to the ammunition depot to say goodbye.
After getting off the car, Huang Zhonghe, the wireless squad leader, told Wang Ke, "Just wait here while I go back and take a look." It's true, I'll pick you up right away. If I don't arrive within half an hour, it means something has changed.
