After surviving the most difficult days of the busy farming year, I originally thought that it should be a little easier now, at most it would be to fertilize rice fields, weeding and other miscellaneous work. Compared with those who get up for five o'clock and sleep in the middle of the night, in a fashionable sentence now: "That's not a big deal."

But there is a person who doesn't want us soldiers to be idle. He wants to try every means to have work all day long. He is our company commander, because he is not a person who is willing to be idle.

Didn’t I say that he led us to make wine last time? He really made it a trick. Later I found out that in addition to the tribute regiment, ship rear, engineering command center and other leaders, this was also used as a public relations gift for the regiment leader. When the supplies or other supplies needed by the troops, these seemingly rustic but very powerful rustic wines are sometimes really powerful. Of course, this wine is also used as a gift for major festivals such as the Spring Festival and Army Day of the troops. For this reason, our company commander won the praise of the regiment leader.

Now, he is actually trying to do something big again.

It was said that since the commander praised the commander, our company commander's confidence has increased greatly. Look at him walking with his hands behind his back, his head high, and the wrinkled grooves on his face also looked slippery because of his happiness.

These days, our old company commander in his forties has been wandering around the barracks all day with cigarettes in his arms, over and over again, and from time to time, he stopped and stared at a place without moving, muttering. Sometimes he would stand mysteriously in the east, west, south, and north corners of the camp and observe repeatedly, and sometimes he would use his small notebook to remember something. I really don’t know what this guy is going to do, and the soldiers in the company were talking about it.

One evening, our class was holding a class meeting. After completing all the scheduled tasks, the class monitor said, "Okay, let's talk casually and chat about anything."

But everyone didn't speak. First, we have to understand the rules. The squad leader has not spoken yet. There are also our squad deputy behind, and there are several veterans behind. Our new recruits are not standing behind. Second, we hold a class meeting every week, and we have finished everything we should say, and there is really nothing to say.

I also stared blankly at the night outside the window and thought about my thoughts.

Since I received a letter from my comrade Shi Yinlin, I felt a little more worried. I don’t know what the development would be like. I suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the company commander of the recruits who dropped me on the farm to farm. A young company commander from the countryside like him must have a hard family, otherwise he would not have done such a thing. If the political commissar became popular and he had to be held accountable as he said, then the life of this sad and pitiful young company commander in the army would probably end. What awaited him would be to get rid of his armor and return to his hometown, take off his military uniform and return to his hometown.

Just as I was thinking, I suddenly heard the squad leader click my name: "Hey, Xiao Huang, what are you thinking? I think you will talk about it first."

I was stunned and said, "What are you saying, I have nothing to say."

The deputy classmate pushed me and said, "Don't talk, I see what you are thinking, tell everyone, do you miss your wife?"

Everyone laughed, and I said happily: "You are really a deputy to class. I don't even have a girlfriend. Where did you get a wife? Or do you miss your wife yourself?"

The squad leader squinted his eyes and said, "You guys have many ideas, so I'll give you some advice on what you've found."

The comrades in the class were staring at me with anticipation on their faces, but I had no choice but to speak.

"Hey, I recently discovered that our company commander is planning a big battle. Look at him wandering around the barracks every day, and he still remembers what that little notebook is. Think about what he is going to do?"

My words suddenly aroused the interest of my comrades, and everyone expressed their opinions: "In my opinion, the company commander is preparing to build a solid bunker here. If the son of Jiang Jiang is going to fight back to his hometown, then this is the last battlefield. Brothers, are you ready?"

"Bah! What a pity, I think our company commander probably wants to change his career, so he needs to take a good look here. After all, he has left his hard work and sweat here, so I can't bear to leave it."

Unexpectedly, the topic of our class resonated with the comrades in Class 4 and Class 6 of brothers. Everyone turned their heads to our class and listened to our divine talk with great interest.

When the squad leader saw that the whole rank was listening to our class chat, he felt very proud, so he amplified his voice and said to me: "Xiao Huang, tell me your opinions."

I looked around and hehe. Sure enough, all the comrades in the platoon were sitting on the small stool and listening to my following with hope. I slapped my thigh and stood up and said, "Okay, I think it's not as complicated as you think. He is going to launch a new battle. Now it is in the pre-war preparation stage. Once the consideration is mature, immediately convene a meeting of commanders of various corpses to make a battle deployment."

The fourth squad leader next door was even more anxious than our squad leader: "Don't keep it aside, you kid. I felt itchy when I heard it, and I said it was so good."

I expressed my opinion: "In my opinion, the company commander may have to renovate the barracks." As soon as he said that, he was attacked by the whole platoon: "Shut up your crow's mouth, you kid has just died and forgot, and you still don't think it's enough to make trouble?"

Our class monitor was anxious: "Hehe, what are you doing? This is the class meeting of our Class 5. Is there anything you have to do? Xiao Huang, please continue."

I said calmly: "Why do I think the company commander wants to renovate the barracks? Look, the company commander is wandering around the company's battalion, and often observes from various angles and records in the small notebook. Think about it, what is he going to do? He is observing the building structure and layout of the entire barracks and making basic preparations for the future war. This is one, and the second is the slack season now. From now until the beginning of spring next year, there is also a season of late rice and

There is nothing to live outside the wheat, and in the past six months we can use it to transform our military camp. By the beginning of next spring, we will live in a brand new two-story barracks. The entire camp will be completely renewed. By then, it will be the superiors who come to our company to hold an on-site meeting to vigorously promote our experience of self-reliance and hard work to build the company. Hehe, at that time, our company commander became popular. If you don’t promote anything, will you still worry about transferring jobs or something?”

After my analysis, the whole queue felt reasonable, and everyone was silent. The originally lively discussion turned silent. I felt proud that I was touching everyone's nerves. After all, building a house is not as easy as brewing wine, so I sat down awkwardly.

Li Nanxiong suddenly said, "How do you know it's building?"

I waved my hand and said quietly, "Don't take it seriously."

I really guessed, and my words quickly reached the company commander's ears. I heard that he was surprised and nodded constantly and said, "This kid is a personal spirit, a ghost spirit. My trick was discovered by a new recruit. I admire the instructor, and I am afraid of the young man."

The instructor agreed with a smile: "I think our small temple may not be able to let go of this Bodhisattva anymore. Sooner or later, this kid will be left by the regiment headquarters."

Our platoon leader said reluctantly: "I really don't want him to leave, otherwise I would send this kid to the troupe teaching team for training at the end of the year, and I will be the squad leader when I come back. It's really good."

Soon the company officially held a mobilization meeting. After the entire company was seated, the company commander stared at me with great strength. I buried my head in my knees and didn't dare to look up.

"Huang Aimin, stand up!" the company commander said.

I stood up after answering with a thorn in the answer, and the whole person looked at me, and the atmosphere was a little nervous.

I said guiltily: "Report to the company commander, I will review. I shouldn't have discussed the company commander's affairs below. I was wrong. I will review it to you and the instructor in front of the entire company."

The company commander narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, continue!"

Continue? No, I looked at the company commander at a loss and murmured: "Isn't it okay if I was wrong? Why are you still not willing to forgive me?"

"Hahahaha..." The company commander suddenly burst out with a hearty smile. I looked at the company commander who was laughing in confusion. Then, when the instructor and our platoon leader looked at me with a smile, I couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Company Commander, are you criticizing or praising your smile?"

The company commander turned his head and said to the instructor, "Did you see it? It turns out that he is a human spirit. If you give him a bamboo pole, you will know how to climb up."

The company commander then signaled me to sit down and turn to the topic: "I don't think there is any need to mobilize anymore. The soldier from the fifth squad has already analyzed all my intentions. I admire him very much."

At this point, I felt a little relieved. Unexpectedly, the company commander walked straight to me again, looked at me with a strange expression, and I quickly stood up again.

The company commander said with a slight smile: "I have to correct you. It is not my personal decision to decide to renovate the barracks. It was approved by the head of the logistics department for collective research. This is the first and second, I am not doing this for promotion or something. Don't look down on me."

There was a relaxed laughter in the venue, and I stood there in embarrassment and muttered: "Who? I have agreed to say whatever I want, why did you buy me? It's not enough for me."

Before he finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter in the venue, and cadres including the company commander, instructor and other cadres also bent over.

In this way, I not only learned how to harvest, transplant rice and other farm work on the farm, but also did different jobs such as raising pigs, growing vegetables, picking tea, making wine. Now I am about to start learning architecture again, and the harvest is really great.

The style of the army is always to do whatever it says and never delay. After the mobilization meeting, we will start the formal construction.

First, the bungalows in the company on the north side of the camp will be transferred to the conference room and warehouse, including the company leader and company headquarters, and then carefully demolish the houses, so as not to damage every brick as much as possible, so that they can still be used in the future. This is the glorious tradition of our army.

When the company was turned into a flat piece of land, our building supplies were also sent to the construction site. While I was following the team to carry cement, I thought to myself, will we build a house? Is it that easy? The squad leader seemed to see my concern and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, aren't we naval construction engineers? This is our business."

It’s true that under the command of the company commander, we farmers who were still farming yesterday turned into a group of construction workers in military uniforms. Relying on the tenacious style of the soldiers, the first two-story new barracks in our company soon stood on the north side of the barracks. Then, according to the method of moving ants, we demolished and built them one by one in three directions in the southeast, west and west of the barracks. In less than two months, the originally low courtyard structure barracks all became new barracks on two floors, and the company looked completely new.

To commemorate the completion of our new barracks, a group of fellow villagers and comrades from Shanghai took a group photo in the newly built barracks. This precious comrades-in-arms photo has been treasured in my album, and is now kept by me on my computer.
