It was mid-November, and the farming season had already begun, so the entire team had nothing to do.

Most people stayed at home, and the educated youth were no exception.

Dull and lonely.

Later, the male educated youth all went to Ma Chaoyang's cave to listen to the radio. Qin Hanshu also often went to Zhang Kangmei and Zhang Yao's cave, and they knitted sweaters together.

Qin Hanshu took out the wool and cashmere material that he had purchased when he left the capital, and prepared to make clothes out of them.

Zhang Kangmei exclaimed: "Your box is really big. It holds so many things."

Qin Hanshu smiled.

Zhang Yao touched the wool material and said, "This material feels so comfortable, light and soft. It should be very warm to wear."

Qin Hanshu said: "It's very warm. I prefer this pure cashmere to chemical fiber woolen."

Zhang Kangmei: "But synthetic wool is more rigid, this is too soft, it's not easy to make clothes, right?"

Qin Hanshu: "Let's give it a try. I heard that Tailor Zhang from Chenguan Commune has very good skills. She was an apprentice at an old shop in the provincial capital before liberation. I plan to let her do it for me."

Zhang Kangmei said, "Then let's go together. My stepmother gave me a piece of fabric before we left. We might as well make some clothes out of it. It will get damaged if we keep it for too long anyway."

Zhang Yao said: "Your stepmother treats you very well."

Zhang Kangmei said indifferently: "I didn't live with her for a long time. She ignored me and I ignored her. In fact, it's not a good thing. She prepared my luggage for me when I came to join the queue. My grandfather also asked her to do so."

Zhang Yao nodded and didn't bring up the subject again.

Qin Hanshu said: "Then let's go to the commune tomorrow. I heard that many people come to Zhang the tailor to make clothes. We may have to queue up. I want to be able to wear them this winter."

Zhang Kangmei nodded: "Okay!"

***

The temperature in the Northwest is already so cold that people want to take out their thin jackets and put them on, but people in Jiangcheng in the south are still wearing short sleeves.

The sun was scorching hot. Qin Feiyang took off his hat and wiped the sweat from his forehead before walking into the building.

When I arrived at Zhou Weiguang's office door, it opened from the inside before I knocked.

Civil servant Xiao Wang walked out, but unexpectedly Qin Feiyang was standing at the door, and the two almost bumped into each other.

Zhou Weiguang's roar like a bell rang out from the crack in the door, "I saw this! If the regiment commander saw the soldiers dozing off while on guard, our entire Second Battalion would be disgraced!"

Qin Feiyang silently withdrew the foot that was about to step into the office.

He pulled Xiao Wang aside and asked quietly, "What's going on?"

"Deputy Qin." Xiao Wang said with a bitter face, "A new recruit from the second squad of the third company was caught dozing off while on guard duty last night by Captain Zhou. He was not seriously injured at the time and was very considerate to help stand guard for a while to wake up the new recruit."

Xiao Wang sighed, "But he got mad this morning and called the captain of the third company. I guess it will take more than half an hour to scold him."

Zhou Weiguang usually had a serious face, but he was not too serious. He was just very strict when it came to training and military affairs and would not tolerate the slightest mistake.

He already had a sullen face, and when he got angry, he was really scary.

Although he was not good at swearing and always used the same few words, his voice was loud and fierce, and if you disagreed with him, he would punish you by making you carry a weight for five or ten kilometers.

Even Qin Feiyang didn't dare to get close to him at this moment and get into trouble.

Qin Feiyang pulled Xiao Wang aside, lit a cigarette for each of them, and started counting the watches.

Sure enough, after being scolded for 33 minutes, the commander of the third company came out dejected. When he was far away from Zhou Weiguang's office, he gnashed his teeth and scolded the new recruit. His steps became faster, probably because he was rushing back to scold his squad leader...

Qin Feiyang waited for a while, and when he estimated that Zhou Weiguang's anger had almost dissipated, he went back to the office.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

"Come in!"

Finished.

Judging from the sound, he seems to be still breathing.

But now that things have come to this, Qin Feiyang can't turn around and leave. Besides, this is for his sister.

Thinking of his sister, Qin Feiyang gritted his teeth, pushed open the door and walked in.

Zhou Weiguang raised his eyelids to see that it was him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qin Feiyang paused for a moment before putting on a smile and saying, "Old squad leader, I heard that your home leave has been approved? Are you leaving the day after tomorrow?"

Zhou Weiguang frowned: "Why are you so shameless? If you have something to say, just say it!"

"Ahem," Qin Feiyang cleared his throat. "I know you haven't been home for many years. You finally came back this time, and you must have a good reunion with your family, but...ah! It's still about my sister!"

"I've already introduced my sister to you. She has been spoiled by my uncle and aunt since she was little. She has been in the countryside for a few months and I don't know how she is doing."

"She said in her letter that she is pretty good, but I'm worried that she only said the good things about herself. Can you help me take a look at her when you get back?"

With a "pop", Zhou Weiguang stood up with his hands behind his back and walked out from behind the table.

Qin Feiyang looked at his face and his heart skipped a beat.

That’s it. Is there anything I said wrong?

"I say, you city kids are all so spoiled! What's wrong with going to the countryside? What's wrong with standing guard? You act like your life is in danger!"

His chest rose and fell a few times, and Zhou Weiguang snorted coldly: "In my opinion, you just don't practice enough! You have to practice hard!"

Just now, the captain of the third company pleaded for mercy, saying that the soldier who dozed off while on guard was a city soldier. His parents were very particular and strict, so he always went to bed on time at nine o'clock. He had developed this habit over the years, and his body had not adjusted to it for a while, so he dozed off while on guard in the middle of the night.

Zhou Weiguang had never heard such an outrageous excuse!

What's wrong? Are the soldiers in the city so delicate? Can't they even stay up all night?

Qin Feiyang understood after a quick thought. The last time he talked to Zhou Weiguang about his sister, he looked disgusted but didn't say anything.

This time he was venting his anger on others, not on his sister.

"Hehe," Qin Feiyang continued shamelessly, "Didn't I say it before? My sister is spoiled because of her poor health, Lin Daiyu! You have read Dream of the Red Chamber. My sister is just like Lin Daiyu, panting after taking a few steps!"

Zhou Weiguang was skeptical, "Is it true?"

"It's absolutely true!" Qin Feiyang felt no guilt at all.

Because in my impression, although my sister is in good health, she looks like a delicate flower that cannot withstand the slightest wind and rain.

Even if Zhou Weiguang met the real person, he would not think that he was lying.

"Okay." Zhou Weiguang said in a deep voice: "I will pay special attention to it."

Lin Daiyu?

The Lin Daiyu who cries at every turn, gets angry for no reason, and even puts flowers on her grave?

Are there really such lesbians in the world? ?
