In the blink of an eye, the first Spring Festival in the 1980s was coming, and the company arranged each platoon to produce blackboard newspapers to welcome the arrival of the New Year with a festive mood. Du Zhigao and Xu Chang from our class were aware of the blackboard newspapers, and now Xu Chang is in the same platoon as me, so he almost praised me as if he was very much worshipful. Our squad leader grinned and happily summoned me to the platoon leader's office.

To be honest, since I was sent to the farm, I have been very hurt deep down and disappointed with the troops. Not to mention the blackboard newspapers and the speeches on stage, these are good things that other recruits seem to be very good, but I am not excited at all. Is there any use to make any false? Didn’t I also give the blackboard newspaper that made the small Yangzhou company commander of the recruit company green? But what happened in the end? Didn’t he kick him to the farm and become a farm soldier? So when the platoon leader explained the task of sending the blackboard newspaper to me with anticipation and made the request to be the first in the company, I smiled bitterly with a complicated expression, saluted the platoon leader listlessly and left silently.

In fact, the company has long heard of my experience. Everyone knows that I am a child of an army cadre. I was not here, but someone gave me a bag. And judging from my performance after coming, I am indeed different from other recruits, but now they have no choice but to let me slowly polish it over the years.

That night, when the military call sounded at nine o'clock, it was my turn to stand guard. I got the command of the night from the document and walked towards the sentry. A figure appeared under the moonlight. I immediately removed the gun from my shoulder and asked loudly with the gun in my arms: "Who is the command!"

"It's me." The voice of our platoon leader came from the opposite side. When I heard this, I immediately trotted forward and saluted the platoon leader: "Report to the platoon leader, Huang Aimin, a soldier in the fifth squad of the second platoon, went to stand guard, please instruct!"

The platoon leader came forward and said to me, "Let's go, let's talk." I knew that the platoon leader wanted to comfort me, so I followed the platoon leader to the guard post silently.

After completing the handover of the sentry, I officially took office. The platoon leader stood beside me and slowly said to me: "I know your affairs. During the day, your expression told me that you still haven't walked out of this shadow. We all know that you are very talented, passionate and thoughtful, but you can't always be suppressed by this matter."

I breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the starry sky and said, "I know the platoon leader, but I just can't figure it out and I feel so frustrated."

The platoon leader stood in front of my post and said to me: "Originally, the instructor wanted to find you, but the company was very optimistic about you. I took the initiative to ask you to talk to you first. You are the descendant of soldiers and your father came from the war years. Do you bow your head and want to stay here for a few years? Do you have the confidence to meet your father?"

The words of the platoon leader shocked me, and my father's expectant gaze before leaving home appeared in front of me. Yes, I can't just slack off like this. I must cheer up and be a good soldier who deserves his father.

I cheered up and said to the platoon leader, "Thank you, the platoon leader. I figured it out. I will definitely let them see it. I am a good soldier, so they will regret it!"

"Then the blackboard newspaper we are placing?" The platoon leader in the dark pointed to the topic.

Hey, isn’t this a piece of cake? I thrust my chest and said, “Don’t say it’s our small company, even the whole group competition, I dare to say that I’m going to be the first.” The platoon leader pointed at me with his fingers and said, “A word is determined, wait for your good news.” After that, he left the post.

Because of my calmness and calmness, many comrades, including the platoon leader, have full confidence that our platoon can win the first place in the blackboard newspaper. Du Zhigao was in the first row and introduced my skill to everyone. His boast was affirmed by the squad leader Zhang Jianguo. He also witnessed my blackboard newspaper in the recruit company. Therefore, the platoon had a great wait-and-see attitude and expressed that he would first see how our platoon newspaper was released in the second row, and then they would do it.

Soon my magical skills spread throughout the company, and even the instructor found out and urged us platoon leader: "Let the Shanghai soldier take action quickly and show his skills to the whole company."

The platoon leader asked me what I needed to prepare and whether I would like to find a few helpers. I knew he was a little guilty, so he said with a smile: "Plane leader, you can just let it go. If I can't get the first place in the blackboard newspaper, I will voluntarily clean the pigpen alone for a month."

The platoon leader stared at me for a while and said, "Are you too crazy? Now you have aroused the appetite of the entire company. If you don't do it well, don't blame the debt."

Seeing that I had no movement, the third platoon started construction first. They were jointly responsible for a soldier from Hangzhou and a soldier from Quanzhou, Fujian. Soon the fourth platoon also took action, and now the first platoon followed the trend and issued a report.

Seeing that the other three platoons had taken action, and they were all mobilizing the whole platoon, and several people helped, but I was still shooting leisurely on the basketball court. The comrades in our platoon were all anxious, especially our squad leader, who always came to urge me: "Xiao Huang, you can do it, why are you still playing here?"

Hi, the emperor is really not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry, there is no way, I can only pack up my clothes and go back to the dormitory, pass by a row, and see a squad leader Zhang Jianguo commanding a few soldiers to come out of the newspaper. When I saw me coming, I joked: "Yeah, Master is here to inspect, I will give you advice."

I smiled without saying a word. Just look at their way of copying text without typography. They don’t know this thing, and the big and thick fonts look really unbeautiful.

I took a look at the third and fourth rows again. Hey, the level is too average, I feel at ease. Just as I was about to turn around, haha, our squad leader was following me. The squad leader approached me and whispered: "How is the fire reconnaissance feeling?"

I returned to the class and said, "Squad leader, we will start working too. You will understand at a glance." When I took out a set of professional books to produce blackboard newspapers from the locker, my comrades felt that I was more professional than other mailing newspapers. I sorted out the manuscripts provided by each class according to my idea, drew the overall renderings on paper, and carried a triangle ruler. Behind were my comrades who helped me get manuscripts and books and other tools.

Maybe it was so hyped in advance that the news that I was going to make a newspaper spread quickly in the company, which caused a sensation. In front of the exterior wall blackboard in front of our dormitory, dozens of people watched it. I started to take action under the attention of everyone.

I first used a long ruler and white chalk to lightly mark the bottom line on the blackboard according to the drawn renderings, and then found Xu Chang and asked him to help me sharpen the white chalk for copying manuscripts. The reason I found him was because he had helped me cut chalk with his comrades in the recruits and had experience.

Xu Chang led a few comrades to help me peel chalk. Don’t underestimate this is a fine job. The chalk is very crisp and will break with a little force. Xu Chang demonstrated and taught everyone, which was quite similar.

I usually use regular regular script characters. This font looks neat and elegant, and has a strong ornamental viewing, but it takes a lot of effort. I only completed the copying of two manuscripts in one morning, but that's enough. When you look at my layout and the fonts you write, you will understand that I am much more professional than them.

I just started copying in the afternoon, and someone shouted behind me: "Oh, company commander, instructor is here."

Just as I was about to put down the chalk in my hand, the instructor signaled me to continue, and our platoon leader rushed over to hear the news.

The company commander looked at it and said, "Well, good boy, you really have two brushes. This word looks really beautiful."

The instructor asked Xu Chang: "Why do you sharpen the chalk? Can't you just write it?"

Xu Changzhao said straight: "Report, we are just trying to help you, you should ask the master."

I quickly got up and replied: "This is because the chalk head is flat. If it is not sharpened, it will be big and thick, and it will not look good."

The clerk of the company was obviously an expert. He picked up a piece of chalk that I had written half a piece and said, "When you write chalk, you write the pen horizontally, and then slowly turn it to keep the chalk sharp, right?"

I gave a thumbs up, and we looked at each other and smiled, sympathizing with each other.

When the company commander saw us, he poked the document and said, "Hey, you are very expert. It turns out that you are the only person in the entire company. Now that you are a real expert, you also represent the company's headquarters to publish a blackboard newspaper to see which of you two is better."

The company commander's words were cheered by everyone, and the clerk waved his hand and said, "I'm definitely not as good as him, you can tell at a glance, but since the company commander has spoken, it's better to obey your orders and join in the fun."

Copying text is just the simplest first step. The second step is to beautify the title and lace of the article, and finally the finishing touch, pictorial illustrations. Relatively speaking, these are more powerful and take longer.

After my careful crafting, an exquisite blackboard newspaper was displayed on the wall of our second row, attracting other platoon soldiers to watch.

Now, the other soldiers who made the newspapers in the platoon were scratching their heads and dared not come out again, and they kept shouting that the gap was too big. But I ran to the company to read the documents and issued the documents. Based on my intuition, he was the opponent, otherwise he would be a documentary.

When the five boards of the four platoons and company departments were released, the instructor organized several cadres to score and evaluate the platoons. Everyone joked: "Let's start with the second place, the first place is clearly there."

In private, the company commander who likes to joke patted the document on the shoulder and said, "Hey, your document is a bit overwhelming. There are new recruits who are younger and more capable than you, challenging you." The documenter was generous: "That's fine. At worst, I can go to the class to be the class monitor, but this kid is indeed very good and a good seedling."
Chapter completed!
