When He Siwei heard that he was from the army, he felt relieved and continued walking to the camp.
When we arrived at the camp, we expected to see a lot of People's Liberation Army troops, but in the end there was only a figure on the stove. The man was bending down to add firewood to the stove. He couldn't see the figure, but He Siwei still recognized Shen Guoping at a glance.
Shen Hongwen reminded He Siwei, "Girl, you are the one with all the bad ideas. You should be smart and don't get sold and still help count money."
He Siwei nodded, looked at the stove, and walked over.
Shen Hongwen seriously doubted that the girl had not heard what he was saying. Looking at the little girl's brisk back, he shook his head and followed her.
He Siwei really wasn't trying to deal with Old Shen. She was just surprised that Shen Guoping was the only one there, so she didn't pay attention to what Old Shen said.
Striding to the stove, Shen Guoping finished adding firewood and stood up, when he saw a bloated body standing above his head.
A sweet and waxy voice also sounded at the same time.
"Company Commander Shen, why are you here?"
He Siwei himself didn't notice the excitement in his voice. After one question, he asked the second question one after another, "Company Commander Shen, is it just you?"
At this time, Shen Hongwen, who was following behind, also arrived. He met Shen Guoping's gaze and looked away lightly.
Shen Guoping stood up and said, "I am responsible for inspecting various posts this year, and I happen to be in the mountains during the Chinese New Year."
After hearing what he said, He Siwei turned around and looked around again.
Shen Guoping guessed what she was thinking and explained, "The troops are patrolling elsewhere, and the resting place is uncertain. I am the only one here."
He Siwei understood and asked him if he had eaten.
Shen Guoping said that he had brought some food and wanted to stay here for a few days. He might not leave with the army until after the New Year. He Siwei was very happy when he heard that they would celebrate the New Year together. He raised the fish in his hand and said that he Have a good taste.
Shen Guoping glanced at the fish carried by the two men and asked, "Can we still catch fish on the mountain?"
In He Siwei's impression, Shen Guoping was omnipotent. He became a company commander at a young age, and he could speak well in the local area. It was obvious that he had great power, but there were things that such a person did not understand.
He Siwei thought that no one was perfect, so he was happy to share it, and even patiently told him how Lao Shen led her to the process of catching the fish.
At first, He Siwei thought that Shen Guoping wouldn't like to hear this. After saying a few words, he found that he was listening attentively and asked a few curious questions from time to time, so he felt relieved. The two chatted for a while, but the old Shen still said nothing. It was getting late, and He Siwei was shouted from outside to go back and cook, and the two of them ended their conversation.
He Siwei said to Shen Guoping, "You and Lao Shen go to the shack to settle down, and I'll make dinner."
He also explained that the rice porridge that had been cooked last night could be cooked immediately by lighting the fire in the stove.
Shen Guoping said yes, ran to the stove, and picked up a white urea bag from his side. Most of the bag was filled with the bag's mouth tied.
He said, "These are the rations I brought. I will be here for a few days during the Chinese New Year. I think these are a thank you gift."
He Siwei was not polite to him. Life in the army was better than that in the local area. She and Lao Shen only had coarse grains for the Chinese New Year, plus the little fish they caught today, their stomachs were so empty that they didn't even like roundworms.
He Siwei said, "Okay, I won't be polite to you anymore. Something happened to the New Year supplies distributed by the farm. During the New Year, Lao Shen and I only have these few fish."
Shen Guoping said, "It's heavy, I'll help you deliver it."
He Siwei was naturally happy. She took the fish from Lao Shen's hand, and the two of them walked towards the shack.
When they were almost at the shack, Shen Guoping asked, "Why haven't the New Year supplies been delivered?"
He had experienced a lot with Shen Guoping, so He Siwei didn't hide it from him and told him about Quan Changshui.
Shen Guoping said, "Quan Changshui is very vindictive, but you don't have to worry too much. There is a lot of work in the company, and he is the driver, so he usually can't get away from it."
He Siwei asked about Battalion Commander Zhou, "How long will Battalion Commander Zhou take leave for?"
Shen Guoping said, "Battle Commander Zhou and his uncle depended on each other for their lives. They left in such a hurry. Commander Zhou has been feeling regretful. It will take some time for him to return to his hometown for burial in person."
He Siwei could understand, but she was still worried, "Is the smuggling of drugs over?"
"Xu Hai has been with Battalion Commander Zhou for many years. Many people gave him convenience for opening a smuggling channel because of Commander Zhou's face. However, the smuggling route is very large and involves a wide range of directions. It is not something that Xu Hai can do alone. The sea is also a huge blow to the forces behind it, and the forces behind it will also hide their capabilities and bide their time and be honest for a while."
He Siwei thought that after going through so much, the forces behind him had not been dismantled, but had been hit hard. Although he was regretful, he also felt relieved. Without Xu Hai as a cover, it would be difficult for those people to reach inside again. Can do some little tricks on the edge.
Shen Guoping put the bag inside the door of the shack and said before opening it, "You can take care of the things in the bag. I thought of disturbing you here, so I brought some more things for you and Comrade Shen."
He Siwei heard that there were extra bags specially given to them and thanked him happily. Shen Guoping had not left yet.
He pointed at the fish that He Siwei brought back, "I'll take them and clean them before sending them back to you."
He Siwei said, "Why bother you so much?"
But he was very honest in his actions. He already bent down and picked up the fish and handed it to Shen Guoping.
Shen Guoping: .....
After he took the fish, the little girl told him, "Take care of it and just bury the fish in the snow so you can dig it out when you want to eat."
Hearing the little girl's perfunctory hum, I couldn't help but take a look, and saw the little girl staring at the bag, her eyes shining.
Two chickens, four pork belly, eight pieces of frozen tofu, and a roll of dried tofu, weighing about five or six kilograms. The small bag at the bottom contains more than ten kilograms of rice, several kilograms of white flour, and a handful of dried eggplants. In the rice bag, there are two kilograms of White Rabbit toffee.
He Siwei took out all the things and placed them on the bunk, thinking that indeed, people in the army had a better life than the locals. Look at these things. Not to mention the price, the main thing is that there are some things that even if you have money and tickets, you can't buy them. .
That night, He Siwei cut three of the pork belly strips and boiled them into lard. He put them in the tin box he had used to store the oil tea noodles. The lard solidified and could be eaten slowly. The remaining strips were used to make stuffing. , there happens to be white flour that can be used to make dumplings.
According to the plan, it would be just her and Lao Shen at night, and they would just eat some rice porridge. However, Shen Guoping messed up the plan. There was one more person and there was so much food to eat. It was unreasonable to just eat rice porridge.
Dried eggplants need to be soaked in hot water for a day before being stewed. There is only frozen cabbage here, and it takes time to stew frozen cabbage until it becomes tender. He Siwei thought about it, put the porridge into a free basin, and put some lard residue in it. Make soup and cook the half kilogram of noodles that Tang Shuang gave her.
It took a long time to cook, half a pound of noodles and half a pot of soup, which was enough for three people. Then they walked out of the shack and shouted to the male workers' shack that it was time to eat.
At this time, the atmosphere in the male workers' shack was tense.
