Xie An leaned over to whisper in his ear: "The commander just said that pumpkin is a treasure and cannot be eaten. What does this mean?"
"Just save the seeds!" Zeng Wangcai said disapprovingly, "But pumpkin seeds are just pumpkin seeds, it doesn't matter, you can still eat them when the time comes."
"Ah?" Xie An was shocked. "We are feeding pigs with pumpkins..."
"......"
Zeng Wangcai was numb. He could imagine that if Old Man Yang saw the soldiers feeding pumpkins to pigs, he would be furious.
"Hurry up and inform them to stop!"
Damn, pigs eat better than humans.
"Platoon leader, there is no radio. You have to notify them about this."
"Wait a minute, I'll find..."
The two were whispering to each other when Old Man Yang finished speaking. He had been paying attention to Zeng Wangcai for a long time. After he finished speaking, he came over and interrupted quietly: "What are you notifying? Who are you notifying?"
"Uh..." Zeng Wangcai was startled and smiled awkwardly: "Nothing, my stomach..."
"Get out of here and get in the car!" Old man Yang smelled an unusual smell.
Zeng Wangcai walked towards the truck with a bitter face, but was turned back by the vigilant old man Yang: "Take my car and keep me company while you talk."
Zeng Wangcai's face suddenly became even more bitter. He felt like he was on a company team-building trip and was sitting next to his boss when he set out.
The team set off, and the convoy drove towards the Miyun Reservoir in a mighty manner. This was the first time that Old Man Yang visited Zeng Wangcai's base.
After running all night, it was dawn.
In the early morning light, the convoy arrived at the Miyun Reservoir. The road was difficult to travel on and overgrown with weeds.
"Commander, let's get off here." Zeng Wangcai said with ulterior motives, "It's not far, let's walk in. It's hard to park inside..."
Zeng Wangcai also came up with the idea of making parking difficult. But this was the 1960s, and there were no markings on the ground, nor was there any smart parking.
"There's something wrong with you, kid!" Old man Yang chuckled, but still got out of the car.
Get off the bus and walk, and the team behind you will organize and follow.
The base developed by Zeng Wangcai is a peninsula. The wasteland reclaimed by the soldiers is at Warehouse No. 2, which is on the other side of the water fork, opposite the base. There is no land, only vegetable fields, when you enter from where Zeng Wangcai and his team got off the car.
"Wow, cucumber..." Before entering the base, Zeng Wangcai saw a patch of lush green vines and jumped down immediately.
Green cucumbers, without any pollution.
He picked a few cucumbers and handed one to Old Man Yang: "Chief, eat it. It's my treat. We grew all of these. We wouldn't take a single needle or thread from the common people."
Old man Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He took the cucumber and took a bite. It was crispy.
Zeng Wangcai entered the base while eating a melon, and what he worried about came true.
It was the time to feed the pigs at the base. The fifty-odd pigs were precious. To save trouble, several soldiers came to the pigpen, each holding a pumpkin...
"Yes... the platoon leader is back!"
"Comrades, the platoon leader is back!"
The soldier on guard discovered that Zeng Wangcai had returned and happily informed the entire base.
When the soldiers holding pumpkins heard this, they turned around quickly. It was the platoon leader, and... the chief.
Go and greet them quickly!
Under the watchful eyes of Old Man Yang, they threw the pumpkin into the pigpen.
The pumpkin fell with a crisp sound, and Old Man Yang's heart was broken.
He didn't bother to follow the soldiers and rushed to the pigpen alone. As a result, he felt even more heartbroken because the second brothers were happily eating the yellow pumpkin!
What a sin! Pigs eat better than humans!
