Chapter 45 Let’s call it White Tiger!
"Fellow countryman, why are you here?" Luo Shan immediately went to greet him.
Old Wei was pleasantly surprised when he saw Luo Shan. "Oh, it's you, Platoon Leader! What a coincidence! Come here, this is the silk banner I made specially in Shigatse!"
As he spoke, he unfolded a red velvet flag with a gold border in his hand. On it were written two lines of large characters:
The people’s army serves the people, and the army and the people are like one family.
Seeing someone presenting a banner, the squad leaders who were about to get on the bus all gathered around.
"Oh, fellow villager, you've made this such a grand occasion! You even sent us a special banner. This is what we should do!"
Luo Shan was also a little excited and stepped forward to shake hands with Old Wei.
"Just like it says here, the people's army serves the people, that's our purpose!"
Old Wei took Luo Shan's hand and walked to the back of the car. "Platoon leader, I also sent some grain, oil and fruit. Please call everyone to come and help carry it."
Luo Shan was pulled to the back of the car. Looking at the various supplies that filled almost half the car, he quickly waved his hands: "No, no! My friend, it's not easy for you to drive a car. There's no way we can take these!"
"You guys have saved half my life. Don't refuse this little token of your appreciation, Platoon Leader!"
"That's definitely not possible..."
Just as the platoon leader and Lao Wei were pulling at the rear of the car, the female dog came straight to Du Hu's feet and rubbed her head affectionately against Du Hu's trouser leg.
Du Hu instantly revealed a fatherly smile, squatted down and stroked the bitch: "Good boy, you still remember me!"
“Oh my!”
Four furry puppies followed the mother dog and ran over like four little snowballs, running around at everyone's feet.
Xu Ge also squatted down and looked at the puppy that came to his feet. He saw that the little guy was snow-white except for the pink tip of his nose. His ears were erect and his tail stood up high like a sword.
Based on the memories of military dog training in his mind, Xu Ge reached out and grabbed the puppy under the neck twice. The puppy immediately turned over and lay at Xu Ge's feet, with its belly facing up and its four legs bent as it looked at Xu Ge.
“Oh!”
The puppy barked twice in a baby voice.
"Wow! So cute!"
Li Dongshui was attracted by the cuteness of the little Siberian puppy. He took out a handful of beef jerky from his pocket and prepared to tear it apart to feed it.
"Where is it? Where is the banner? Who sent it?"
At the camp gate, instructor Huang Jiabo, wearing a hat and a belt, hurried over, adjusting his clothes as he ran, followed by a clerk and a communicator.
"Hurry, hurry, take videos, take photos!"
Luo Shan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the instructor coming, and quickly pulled Old Wei over to introduce him.
Huang Jiabo chatted enthusiastically with Old Wei for a while, and after finding out the whole story, he immediately asked the clerk to make a record.
The next step was to take a group photo. The platoon leader and three soldiers from the platoon were there, so Xu Ge and his companions were treated as representatives of the platoon and took a few photos with a banner.
"My fellow villagers, we accept the banner, but we absolutely cannot accept these supplies!" Huang Jiabo's attitude was the same as Luo Shan's.
"That won't work, I've already bought it..."
Huang Jiabo: "Then we'll pay you to take it."
Old Wei was anxious: "Commander, aren't you slapping me in the face?"
A new round of tug-of-war began.
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui quietly fed the puppy.
Finally, after Huang Jiabo cited the iron rule of the army not to take a single needle or thread from the masses, Old Wei had no choice but to give up and called his white dog to leave.
“Oh my!”
The puppy that Li Dongshui fed with beef jerky might have become addicted to it. It was unwilling to leave and kept pulling at Li Dongshui's pants with its little paws.
Li Dongshui handed the bag of beef jerky to Old Wei: "Fellow villager, take this!"
Old Wei looked at the puppy, then at the beef jerky in Li Dongshui's hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Comrade Chief, I have a request. Can I leave this little cub with you?"
Old Wei smiled and said to Huang Jiabo, "You are the baby's savior, so it can be considered a fate."
"My friend, didn't we just say..."
Luo Shan was interrupted by Old Wei just as he was halfway through his words: "Comrade Platoon Leader, you know that I, a sports driver, don't have that much time to take care of so many little ones, so please help me lighten the burden!
The little one has been weaned, just give him whatever you want to eat!"
Luo Shan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Old Wei would find an excuse to ask the army for help. He didn't know what to do for a moment and had to look at the instructor Huang Jiabo.
"If our fellow villagers have difficulties, we should help them solve them! We are such a large army, we can't be so poor that we can't even afford to raise a puppy."
Huang Jiabo smiled.
"Then accept it. Consider it a testimony to the close bond between our army and the people. It will also be a good story in the future!"
Old Wei smiled broadly: "Yes, yes, yes! The chief is right!"
As if he was afraid that the army would go back on their word, after saying this, Old Wei immediately jumped into the car and drove away with four white dogs, one big and three small.
. . .
. . .
“Oh!”
The puppy that was left behind seemed completely unaware that it was left alone there, and it wagged its tail and twisted around at everyone's feet.
"This dog and we really have a connection!" Huang Jiabo rolled up the banner with a smile and instructed the clerk, "Remember to finish the manuscript and submit it to the regimental and brigade headquarters as soon as possible."
"yes!"
"Instructor, we are not allowed to keep pets in our army!" Luo Shan reminded in a low voice.
Huang Jiabo didn't care at all: "Who said it was a pet? Can we keep it as a guardhouse? Oh, and by the way, doesn't your company have a soldier led by an old squad leader? The one who's going to take the instructor exam?"
"Du Hu!"
"arrive!"
Luo Shan pointed at Du Hu and said, "Instructor, you are talking about him, squad leader Du Hu."
"That's perfect, I'll leave this puppy to Class 1!"
Huang Jiabo looked at Du Hu and said, "I'll give you a task. Prepare the puppy's recipes in advance every day and hand them over to the kitchen staff to raise the dog well!"
Du Hu snapped to attention: "Yes! I promise to complete the mission!"
After Huang Jiabo left, Luo Shan urged everyone to get on the bus: "Let's go, we've already wasted quite a bit of time."
Li Dongshui was a little overwhelmed holding the little white dog. Xu Ge picked it up and stuffed it into the big pocket on the side of his pants, then jumped into the car in two steps.
“Oh!”
The puppy dug its head out of its pocket with its paws, and looked around curiously.
After arriving at the shooting range, everyone went to their respective positions and started working. Du Hu, Xu Ge, and Li Dongshui stood in front of target No. 1, staring blankly at the puppy lying on the ground with its butt sticking up and sniffing around.
Luo Shan has just instructed that Team One will be responsible for this dog, and he will hold people accountable if anything goes wrong!
"You two take it to the ditch and watch it first."
Du Hu had a headache. It was not a good thing to have a new member in the class, especially for him as the class monitor.
"Squad leader, it doesn't have a name yet, let's give it a name first!"
Li Dongshui looked at the puppy and said, "We rescued its mother in the snowy mountains. How about naming it Bai Xue?"
"Why don't you just call her Snow White?" Xu Ge reached out and picked up the little guy and took a look at him. "She's a male!"
"We are the Wolf Brigade, so let's call ourselves White Wolf?" Du Hu thought for a moment and said.
Xu Ge thought seriously for a while and said: "White Wolf is a bit stingy, let's call him White Tiger, it's quite domineering! It just so happens that your name also has the word Tiger in it, squad leader."
