(Additional chapters for the reward from book friend Abclrauzxed.)
The water-carrying task of the fourth shift was completed one day ahead of schedule.
Company Commander Yan has already applied to the regiment headquarters for a set of water-drawing equipment, which will be installed in a few days.
In order to commend the contribution of Class 4, the entire Class 4, which had just worked for five days, was given another day off.
Each person was also rewarded with five kilograms of food coupons.
As for Zhang Hongcheng, he was slapped by Captain Yan who burst into laughter.
"The instructor and I have already submitted your request for a salary increase to the regiment headquarters, and it's being processed."
"Deputy Director Liu from the Youth League Office at the field headquarters was still nagging me on the phone, saying that you're the son of a military martyr and you didn't want to stay at the field headquarters, insisting on coming down to get training. Not bad, not bad!"
The praise and favor from the leaders are naturally good, but Zhang Hongcheng values the two thermos tickets awarded to him by the company more.
Fatty Hu spent a long time online but was unable to help him get the right thermos ticket.
The only two I received were issued in 1974...
Thermos bottles are extremely popular in Northeast China.
If you want to buy a thermos, you need six dollars plus twelve industrial coupons or one thermos ticket.
The weather is still hot now, and most people in the class get water from the water room for drinking and washing.
But once autumn comes, life here will be unbearable without a thermos.
Zhang Hongcheng plans to go to the supply and marketing cooperative of the regiment headquarters during his vacation tomorrow.
While buying a thermos, he also planned to buy some malted milk or something.
Judging from what Zeng Jianjun said, the intensity of labor will be greater in the future, and it is necessary to supplement nutrition properly.
At noon, the aroma of meat filled the canteen of the Fifth Company, and all the people who were working outside ran back eagerly.
The meat was picked up by the correspondent boy outside.
A stupid roe deer jumped off a cliff and broke the company's telephone lines.
It must be the bad roe deer raised by the SX elements, it must be eaten!
The instructor personally cooked the meal. As the little celebrity in the company these two days, Zhang Hongcheng had three pieces of roe deer meat piled in his bowl.
Wild roe deer meat is delicious!
.......
I really want to eat meat!
Chu Miaohong walked carefully in the town with a basket on her back.
I couldn't help swallowing as I smelled the aroma of braised pork wafting from the town's canteen.
Unfortunately, the other educated youth in the village were also resting today, so several of them came to the town canteen to improve their meals.
So even if she had money and tickets, she wouldn't dare go in.
What's more, she hadn't sold the herbs she collected yet, and she only had a few cents on her.
Chu Miaohong thought about it and decided not to sell the herbs she picked in the town.
The forests in Northeast China have always produced medicinal herbs, and the pharmacies in the town also have the task of collecting them, so the authorities do not prohibit people from picking some herbs themselves and selling them in the pharmacies.
But the people in the pharmacy often go to various villages to collect medicine, and there is no guarantee that they will recognize me in the future.
Chu Miaohong decided to walk a few more steps and spent most of her money - two cents - to take a bus to the pharmacy of the 39th Regiment, which was dozens of miles away, to sell it.
No one knows me there, so I can just pretend to be an educated youth from the Corps.
Zhang Hongcheng was holding a brand new thermos in his left hand and a net bag in his right hand. In the net bag was a can of malted milk, a pound of pastries and half a pound of candy.
He originally wanted to buy some fruit, but the quality of the fruits at that time directly discouraged him.
There are a lot of flies crawling on the fruit, whoever wants to eat it can eat it.
Next to the supply and marketing cooperative is the regiment hospital, and on the other side of the hospital gate is a pharmacy that offers both Chinese and Western medicine.
Zhang Hongcheng looked at the pharmacy in a daze.
He remembered that in the book, Chu Miaohong bought the first batch of medicinal herbs here.
Zhang Hongcheng was a little curious.
Because the plot has changed because of him.
His sister Zhang Yumin did not settle in Chunyang Village.
So Chu Miaohong did not rescue Zhang Yumin who was bitten by Fengzi in the woods.
In the book, they would be exposed if they came to the pharmacy in the field office to sell medicine.
In other words, Zhang Yumin was brave enough to say that he was the orphan of a martyr and came to the field office to sell medicine.
Only then did they reluctantly accept their medicine, allowing Chu Miaohong to obtain her first batch of funds.
But now Zhang Yumin is working as a data manager at home, so will Chu Miaohong still come here to sell medicine?
Zhang Hongcheng smiled and shook his head, feeling that he was a little crazy.
He would not take the initiative to take care of such trivial matters. The only thing he had to do for Chu Miaohong was to save her life twice for his sister.
Otherwise, the butterfly flapping its wings might end up blowing the heroine to death.
He was just carrying his things to the site office to wait for the bus when he heard an argument coming from the pharmacy.
"Which company are you from? Why have I never seen you before?!"
Zhang Hongcheng paused.
What a coincidence?
Chu Miaohong's face turned pale.
She didn't expect that the people at the pharmacy on the site would be so serious.
But the staff at the pharmacy were also right.
The medicines collected by the Corps Pharmacy are not for ordinary people, but are directly supplied to military pharmaceutical companies.
Therefore, the educated youth who came to the shop to sell medicine would take the initiative to tell us which company they were from.
Chu Miaohong's reluctance to reveal her origins has aroused the suspicion of the staff.
It’s not that Chu Miaohong is stupid, but she has no idea which units and companies the 39th Regiment has.
If I find out that I am an educated youth in the village, at most they will not accept my medicinal herbs. But if I lie, then something really bad will happen.
Her hesitation even made several customers in the store stare at her warily - afraid that she would run away!
"Eh? Why haven't you finished selling yet? The bus back to the company is about to leave!"
A figure walked in and started talking to Chu Miaohong in a seemingly familiar manner.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
