Wang Ke adjusted his military uniform and hat, and followed the correspondent to the company headquarters.
On the way, Wang Ke asked: "Are the rounds at the division field hospital over?"
"Yes." The correspondent walking side by side responded and said no more.
It's really boring. The current correspondent is completely different from the original Xiao Hou. Three sticks can't beat him. When we were approaching the company headquarters, we saw a "big ass" military jeep that had already started. Several company cadres and veteran platoon leader Hu Zhijun were standing behind the car.
Military doctor Huang, Shi Hanlu and the male military doctor were standing there talking to the company cadres.
When they saw Wang Ke arriving, everyone shouted together. "Command the platoon commander, hurry up and send the medical team."
Ah, it turns out that the team left just now, saying that they came to say goodbye. No, to be precise, he was asked to say goodbye to Shi Hanlu. No wonder the deputy company commander didn't let him go back. It turned out that their team's time was very tight, only two hours.
Wang Ke ran a few steps and came to the crowd. He straightened his chest, clicked his legs together, raised his right hand, and performed a standard military salute to the company leader and Dr. Huang.
"Well, command the platoon commander, say goodbye to Dr. Huang and your comrades. Well, they are leaving now." Company Commander Bearded Tian was humorous and humorous.
"Military Doctor Huang, you should leave now and stay in our company for one night before leaving." Wang Ke quickly said a polite word with a straight face.
"Yes, we Xiaoshi really hope to stay one night in your artillery company. No, we are still rushing back to Lianggezhuang. There will be two companies tomorrow." They are all from the same regiment. Huang Jun pursed his lips. He smiled and said something to Wang Ke, but glanced at Shi Hanlu.
Shi Hanlu's face was still red, and she didn't know where to put her hands.
"Yes, Dr. Huang and Dr. Shi, you are welcome to come to our company often." When Wang Ke answered, he naturally wanted to bring Dr. Huang with him to avoid everyone being embarrassed.
"Okay, let's go." When the male military doctor and driver saw Wang Ke coming, they urged to get in the car without knowing what was going on.
Shi Hanlu saw Wang Ke and opened her mouth. It was still difficult to say what she wanted to say, so she nodded and said in a low voice to Wang Ke: "Take care and review more books." It was completely the advice between comrades.
"Yes!" In front of the company cadres, any unnecessary words may cause trouble. Wang Ke quickly agreed to avoid letting other leaders have any ideas.
A group of people got into the car, and Shi Hanlu waved to everyone from behind the car. Naturally, his eyes were fixed on Wang Ke in the end. I don't know if others saw it, but there were tears in his eyes.
The big-ass military jeep drove out of the village quickly, and Wang Ke was slapped hard on the shoulder.
Looking back, I saw it was the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun. "You come with me."
The company cadres all smiled and went back to their houses. Wang Ke followed the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun to his room.
"What's going on? Are you in love?" As soon as he entered the door, the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun asked with a serious look on his face.
Wang Ke was stunned and immediately stood up to answer. "Platoon commander, which one is right? Who should I fall in love with?"
"No need to pretend, the whole company can see it."
"Platoon leader, this is absolutely unjust. Shi Hanlu is a cadre, and I, Wang Ke, am a top soldier. How is this possible?"
"How is this impossible? Look at the way she treats you. Why does she always bring you packages? Honestly, how long have you been talking about?"
"Platoon leader, this is absolutely unjust. What she asked you to bring last time was just a few review books. This time it's really a bunch of medicine. If you don't believe me, come back with me and take a look." Wang Ke was almost swearing now. .
"It doesn't matter if you don't say it, but let me remind you that you have just acted as the platoon leader, so it is not considered a promotion. You can't have this side story, and you can't fall short of your achievements. Do you understand?"
"Yes, platoon leader! Don't worry, I can definitely control myself. I won't fall in love if I don't talk about sex. Besides, I'm not yet twenty-three years old, how could I..."
"It's good that you know, and let me tell you, I will go back to the regiment tomorrow. I have to go to Kyoto in advance to make a frontline for the army's construction. You must be more careful when you are on business here." The old platoon leader Hu Zhijun finally got to the point. .
"Platoon commander, it would be a pity if you have to leave early."
"What's a pity?"
Therefore, Wang Ke quickly told the command platoon about the discovery of a cave south of Muling in the morning. Finally, he told what Uncle Geng said about Chongling’s possible trial excavation on Monday.
"That's a pity. We don't have enough time, but there will definitely be opportunities in the future."
After the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun finished speaking, the two men talked about other things. Wang Ke thought about it and said with a stern look on his face: "Platoon leader, you have to write two paintings for me when you have time. I couldn't keep any of the two paintings you wrote last time, they were all snatched away. .”
"Who snatched it away?" Hu Zhijun, the old platoon leader, is always happy when others like his calligraphy. But these two words were written in just a few days, and the company was stationed here for training, and no one from outside came.
"yes……"
"Oh, I see, is it your comrade Xiao Shi? You still said that you two are fine?" The old platoon leader Hu Zhijun was very clever and reacted immediately.
"Platoon leader, she just went to see me. I can't be too stingy. The military dagger you gave me was also snatched away."
"Okay, Wang Ke, only you can do this as a gift of my things. Let me write it when I have time. I have to meet with your company cadres later, so you can go back first."
"Yes!" Wang Ke saluted and turned around to go back.
"Lao Kezi, command the platoon leader." Outside the door, health worker Yu Deben was cleaning with his correspondent. As soon as he saw Wang Ke coming out, he immediately put down the broom and walked over.
"You're awesome, okay!" Hygienist Yu Deben walked up to him and extended his thumb to Wang Ke.
"What do you mean?" Wang Ke pretended to be confused. They were both soldiers of the same age, and their relationship was also different.
"Just pretend with me. The whole company has learned how to shush, but you still pretend. What delicious food is there in the package she gave you?" Yu Deben asked seriously.
"Old Yu, conscience of heaven and earth, we met at the party congress in the division. We are absolutely pure comrades-in-arms. You are so dirty. I gave you some medicine in the package. If you confiscate it, come with me now. "
"No, no, no, don't you believe me? Our company will definitely leave next Tuesday or Wednesday. Hey, I prepared this for you. If you don't mind, make some water to drink." Health worker Yu Deben said, taking something out of his trouser pocket Bring out a package.
"Give it to me? What is it?" Wang Ke felt strange. When they were still recruits, the two of them were on the farm together. Later, when they went to the division field hospital, the health worker Yu Deben seemed to have never given him anything.
This package was wrapped in newspaper. Wang Ke opened it and saw that it was a package of dried five-finger peaches, some inch-long twigs, and the stems of five-finger peaches.
"Can this thing be soaked in water and drunk?" Wang Ke was a little confused.
"Bullshit, Lao Kezi, Five-fingered Peach Peach is warm in nature and sweet in taste. It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and lungs, benefiting the stomach, promoting qi, diuresis, relaxing muscles and activating collaterals. It contains a lot of amino acids, which is suitable for coughs, waist and leg pain, It’s for people with bruises and injuries. You’ll have to stay in the mountains for a while, so take care of yourself.”
After listening to Yu Deben's words, a warm current surged up. This is called comrade-in-arms, I will always remember you.
"Okay, thank you." Wang Ke put away the bag of five-finger peaches, and the two of them walked out of the courtyard.
An old salesman carrying a robe on his back and holding a rattle walked over. He was tall and thin, with one hand raised high, shaking the rattle from side to side. Without saying a word, he walked forward silently. There are many salesmen who travel from village to village, but most of them carry burdens. There are also those who only carry one robe like now, but they are very few.
"What is this for sale?" Hygienist Yu Deben was very surprised. It was rare to see people selling things in Longquanzhuang.
"Look at that trousers, I guess you can't sell anything good." Wang Ke responded casually and couldn't help but take another look at the salesman.
Huh? So familiar. But I can't remember where I saw it.
After saying goodbye to the health worker Yu Deben, Wang Ke returned to Uncle Geng's house. He quickly took out Shi Hanlu's letter from his satchel and read it first. Upon seeing this, I immediately broke into a cold sweat.
I regret it. If I had seen this letter from Shi Hanlu earlier, the silver bracelet worn by the child would have been returned. No, the entire small package would have been returned. But it's too late now, what should I do? Just stay for now.
What was written in the letter was no longer important. Wang Ke took out his pocket watch and took a look.
Because it was said to be a physical examination in the afternoon, but from one o'clock to the small team's departure, the company completed it in less than two hours. It's still early, so the command platoon can't "let go". Should we hold a meeting? After all, the troops will return to the barracks next week and go directly to Kyoto to participate in construction.
When Wang Ke took out his pocket watch, he was immediately stunned. He remembered the sixty or seventy-year-old man wearing a ragged felt hat and a black jacket sitting on a horse in the county free market. There was also a mottled green oilcloth on the ground in front of him, with many messy playthings placed on it.
The salesman I just met was none other than him.
Wang Ke rushed out and ran out. What was this salesman doing in Longquanzhuang? There might be something good in his bag.
And this person must know the goods. If you can find it, you might as well let him see the lamp he brought out from the hole. Maybe he will tell a story.
Wang Ke walked around the village in one breath, but there was no trace of the salesman anywhere.
well! That’s all. Wang Ke came back dejectedly. When I returned to Uncle Geng's house, I immediately stuffed Shi Hanlu's letter and those things into the shell box.
If you want to fly high, forget about the horizon.
Now let the reconnaissance squad leader Song Ruimin inform the three squad leaders to meet first. The work in the platoon still needs to be arranged first.
There are still many new situations when we go to Kyoto for construction this time, because in a few months, veterans will retire and new recruits will join the army. As the situation in the south eases, there will definitely be some personnel changes in the platoon and company.
Stability is the first priority. Several squad leaders came to Wang Ke's room and everyone sat cross-legged on the kang.
As soon as Wang Ke finished speaking, the old squad leader Huang Zhonghe opened his mouth. "I am a soldier who has a solid camp and a smooth flow of water. I am the oldest soldier in the whole platoon. Huang Zhonghe, who used to walk smoothly and still walk smoothly, has been a soldier for five years in a blink of an eye. I will definitely leave. But don't worry, platoon leader. Stand guard for the last time, and I will be the gatekeeper before you come back."
Xiao Gao, the telephone monitor, is also an old monitor. In terms of seniority, he is older than Song Ruimin. "Platoon leader, I am a brick, let the party move it. If the company determines my demobilization, I promise not to lose the people who command the platoon."
"Okay, stop, why are we studying going to Kyoto for construction, and why are we doing it like a farewell, so tragic. Don't even mention demobilization. Now we are at this juncture, mainly talking about the work transition and stability of the entire platoon." Wang Ke When he saw that he was getting too far away, he immediately stopped everyone talking.
"Platoon leader, how many days will your mission last? To be honest, our entire platoon feels like we are missing a backbone without you." Reconnaissance squad leader Song Ruimin finally spoke. He is the new squad leader, and it will definitely not be his turn to demobilize. However, there are many unstable factors in the platoon, including Gu Maolin, Xue Lin, and Niu Suozhu, who are all thinking about demobilization, and even Wang Mingsheng has been proposed to demobilize him.
"Soon, in as little as fifteen days or as little as a week, I will try to return to the team."
"That's great." Everyone cheered together, but they didn't expect that the trip would be full of twists and turns, and they almost died. As a result, it took almost a month for them to return to work smoothly.
