In the open-air playground of Qingzhou, Gaoyao Town, Tongzi Camp.

Chen Ergou widened his eyes and looked at the words written in white ash on the black painted stone slab. While copying them in the sand table, he stuttered in unison with everyone.

Chen Ergou and his sister Chen Aguan are descendants of typical Qingzhou mountain people. They fled to the mountains in order to escape labor service for countless generations.

The times have been passed down and have been a good hunter since childhood. Although they are always unable to eat enough, they can always make do with their days.

The continuous war not only destroyed the livelihoods of people outside the mountain, but also directly affected and impacted the daily lives of these mountain people.

The wild harvests that can be found before winter are fewer and fewer, and the salt and iron tools needed for daily use have also been cut off, so many people's bodies become swollen because of this.

There was no news when I ventured out several times, and only the last time someone escaped, but the fur that was collected by each family was snatched away by unknown thieves.

In the end, most of the village starved to death, leaving only half-sized children, who were hiding in the ruins crushed by snow, survived by being found by search teams deep into the mountains.

Then, under the temptation of a few shriveled cakes, he got on the ox cart and was sent to the boy camp. Since then, a new life experience and an unexpected future have begun.

Of course, there has never been a good thing in the world that has fallen into nothing. In this new environment called Boy Camp, there is no idle person. They have to work and participate in the training of teams and equipment, and spend the rest of their lives to repay the relief provided by the officials and their good deeds.

But at least you don't have to go hungry anymore, right?

Compared with the children sent by local people, the orphans and teenagers collected from various places are obviously significantly different in system and physical foundation. Therefore, they can only be divided into several batches of first, middle, and higher ranks according to their age and height, and do not deal with them separately...

Like Chen Ergou, he can only enter and accept the trolling of the junior boy camp.

Therefore, at the age of growing up, they were so numb that they were so numb that they were trembling. They would always return to the residence and lie down and don’t think about getting up.

At this time, the elders from the Boy Camp, specially designated by the house chief, would be dragged up one by one, ordered to rub each other's bodies and wash their faces and feet with a basin of water before they would be allowed to lie down and rest.

The hard work and tediousness are hard to describe.

But in contrast, although the diet of Tongziying is very rough, there are only large pots of sorghum corn residues, together with the wild vegetables picked, cooked into a thick and thick paste. Although the taste is light, it is enough to make people eat until they are full; at least they sleep until dawn without waking up hungry several times.

If you go out for fun, do exercises in the wild, or need to work overtime at the supplier, you will also add extra dishes, and you will see some oily and delicious pickles. Sometimes there are sweet roasted potatoes and boiled potatoes, with a regular or unlimited additional supply.

Although the clothes are modified from old felt and coarse cloth, and two-piece clothes, on cold days, as long as you work diligently, you can keep warm. You sleep under a round wooden house, five or six people squeeze together, with straw, and covered with coarse felt. The only disadvantage is that you are prone to lice, and you need to be cleaned diligently and cleaned regularly.

Of course, if the same house is found to be in poor hygiene, then the number 20 or 30 people in the six large shops in the house will be punished together. It is a trivial matter to eat whips and get beaten, so you have to run around the wall several times after the break, which is the most deadly thing.

Therefore, no matter how hard you work hard and tired you are, the clean water source will always be kept constant.

At the beginning, many people could not bear this harshness and harshness, and developed the desire to escape again. However, the longer they stayed in the boy camp, the impulse and thought of returning to freedom naturally faded with the transformation of reality.

After all, the more hunger, those who have suffered and suffered, the more reluctant they will be tolerated this rare daily life of fullness, warmth and comfort. Therefore, Chen Ergou thought so that he could grit his teeth and persevered.

In this way, I gradually adapted to the daily rhythm of high-intensity training and busy work that I never stopped working all day long.

Then, when they had a preliminary concept of discipline and collectiveness, the food in the camp finally reached a higher level, turning into solid thick cakes and mixed vegetable sauce soup, and the dry arms and ribs-like body plates gradually became full and thicker.

At this time, they finally had a rare New Year holiday, although they only had a few days of leisure.

So, he would occasionally visit the girl camp near the silk reeling mill. At this time, he would find that the thin girl like soybean sprouts, in addition to the more calluses on her hands, there was also a little blood and blush on her waxy and dim little face. She was wearing gray work uniforms, no longer like a bamboo pole carrying a lantern.

At this time, she would even secretly stuff a small piece of it, because it had been stored close to her body for too long, and some of the melted thick candy candy was stored away.

Then, during the push and rush, I had to break it into smaller halves to share it together. Although there were a lot of ash and other impurities in the thick candy, the sweet and sour taste made the brother and sister extremely cherish and reminisce, this short and warm moment.

It also slowly fades and temporarily forgets, the cruel memories and sad pasts.

In addition to daily workmanship, during the dry season when there is no connection between yellow and yellow every year, or when there is a need for top dressing and replanting, they also have to go to the fields to help, avoid the hot and windy days, and work all night long under the moonlight and faint starlight.

But this is their happiest day, comparable to the few holidays of the year. Because while working hard, you can also enjoy it in advance, in accordance with the general food standards for adults and the large pot meals provided by the merchants.

It was really a very oily green onion pancake and a big bowl of wheat rice, plus salted fish and bacon, which made people feel overwhelmed and rounded. Sometimes, you can get a few extra gifts of chicken, duck eggs, goose eggs, etc. Whether boiled in white water or eaten in a stall, it is a delicious taste that makes people drool.

Because he was a descendant of mountain people, Chen Ergou had some remaining family skills in hunting and setting traps. At this time, he often became one of the most popular people among his companions.

Because he not only knows how to set up traps to hunt down the field mice, sparrows, and so on that steal food from babies, but sometimes he even kills small preys that steal domestic poultry, such as yellow skin, cauliflower snakes, to smoke them into meat to improve their lives.

Then, the farmers would be more tolerant and allowed them to catch small fish, loaches, shrimps, crabs, snails in the ridges filled with water, and roast them through the water-boiled public stove, as snacks and teeth-beating festivals during their work, and they would eat them until they returned to the camp.

Then, after a while, in their daily work and life, they gradually got used to, there were a few more teaching assistants and new additional content, but the corresponding labor time was reduced.

Of course, it is actually just a senior boy camp who is older than them, but just a teacher who is a teacher assistant, who just receives a physical subsidy to enlighten them.

Chen Ergou realized that he could still read, which was a great thing.

In that remote and humble mountain village, those who can read the official notices by a few words are very amazing people. In addition, this family is also the best and most glorious family in the village.

Because of the village's foreign negotiations and the sale of mountain goods, they only need to buy and deal with each other, and even the distribution of daily use, they have to rely on his leadership and justice.

Of course, the so-called forced enlightenment of the nature of work reading is actually very simple, and it only requires hundreds of commonly used characters and four operations within a thousand. You can learn first and take the latter together and memorize it by rote.

Moreover, although this scope of enlightenment is known as all children of appropriate age, it is except for immigrant households under the jurisdiction and orphans who are sheltered in the army;

In fact, the current promotion level is limited to the children of residents in various cities and towns with convenient transportation, and it is unimaginable to have a slightly remote township and mountain village.

However, outside today's open-air classroom, there are more adults. Although most of them are wearing casual clothes, their every move is a sign of their origin.

But at this moment, they were not as solemn and rigorous as they were in the army, and they were not as kind and excited as they were, and they were at a certain sense of helplessness or self-seducation, and were secretly looking at these teenagers with a loud voice.

However, it is because of the designated foster care system that is being implemented in the military, which is the first target of the pilot project.

The so-called foster care means that the elderly but not yet married veterans in the army will take out a little money from their daily salary as additional investment to fund and support the orphans in the boy camp.

In compensation and exchange, you can get the opportunity to name orphans. Once they die in the battlefield in the future, or die of injuries or illness. These designated orphans can inherit their surnames and Zong Zhao Incense.

Even their heroism and deeds were passed down as inspirational stories of family traditions from generation to generation, rather than turning them into a name on a deserted tomb without names.

Even if the adoptive person is finally retired or transferred to a business, the adopted son who grew up in the army can be taken to him and continue to cultivate feelings, continue to support him after he becomes an adult, and even marry and have children to inherit the family business.

As an orphan itself, it is equivalent to gaining an expected support and future, and there are also desires and needs similar to family affection. Therefore, after enlightenment and indoctrination in the army, it is not too repulsive to this.

It will even be regarded as a kind of honor and motivation to be proud of, and can perform better in daily life.

It can be said to be a very humane measure. Don’t underestimate this little change. The so-called unfilial piety has three inheritances, and no descendants are the greatest. However, it is deeply engraved in the bones of all Chinese people, even modern dark gray remains unchanged.

This also means that more soldiers who have been demonstrated have no worries about sacrifice after going to the battlefield. Therefore, if they just reveal their intentions, they will be responding in a cloud of responses, and even speak to express a certain desire to win.

Of course, in order to be fair and avoid disputes, the first ones participating in the pilot are the most qualified or outstanding single veterans after the preliminary selection. They will select their own foster children among the orphans in this batch according to the lottery.

As the teenagers who were called, they all enjoyed the meeting of tea and snacks.

"I won't do it"

However, when it was Chen Ergou's turn to go on his head, he couldn't help but stubbornly stubbornly and raised his neck.

"Now I can support myself,"

"In a few years, I will raise my sister together,"

"Anyway, I didn't know how my father was since I was a child, so I came here like this..."

"Why do you have an extra dad out of thin air..."

He kept stuffing coarse grains into his mouth, staring at the other party without showing any weakness, muttering in his mouth

"I thank you for your kindness..."

"Good boy, you are."

The rejected party was a strong-looking old army with a strong appearance, Kong Wu and powerful appearance. He laughed instead of anger, but his voice was so loud that it made people feel a little shocking.

"I can't tell that I'm still a kind person... I like it."

"I, Luo Dayou, have never been good at gambling or prostitution in this life. I have earned a lot of salary over the years."

"What's the point of raising more children in your knees..."

"If she is willing to recognize me as her father, I don't mind a couple..."

"At worst, I can buy a dowry in person and send it out in person..."

Speaking of this, he took out another oil paper bag and slapped it on the table, but it revealed many white and crystal sugar cubes.

"Eat slowly, don't choke..."
