Chapter 539: Issues with the Army 1

After Su Junlin and Bai Xue's wedding, nothing changed except Bai Xue moving into Su Junlin's residence.

Su Junlin performed exercises as usual, and Bai Xue still went on stage.

However, after discussion, the troops began to prepare family quarters for the families accompanying the troops. A piece of vacant land on the edge of the camp was designated as the family area. Due to limited conditions, there was no plan to separate it from the camp from the beginning.

Feng Qingxue didn't know what was said specifically.

In this sparsely populated plateau area, building family quarters is naturally the soldiers' duty.

There is strength in numbers. Within a few days, several small bungalows of dry-rammed earth style were built. If Feng Qingxue hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed that there was still an empty lot there when she first arrived.

This is extremely cold weather!

The temperature was very low in the morning and evening, so Xibao and I were wrapped up like little teddy bears.

The dry-rammed earth style is built with thick walls and a thick roof, and the roof is also a straw mat with thick soil pressed on it.

In the barracks, many soldiers live in cellars, called dugouts, which are not afraid of strong winds.

"This kind of house is only found in the Northeast. It is a method of building dry-rammed earth fortifications on the plateau. It started in Daqing and solved a lot of problems at that time. We are also building dry-rammed earth fortifications now." Seeing Feng Qingxue's curiosity, a soldier explained.

Feng Qingxue had not read any relevant information about the Daqing Oil Battle and did not understand it. She just smiled and walked away.

However, after the house was completed, Feng Qingxue and Xibao moved in first. There were indeed many inconveniences for the mother and son to live in the dormitory with Lu Jiang, which could easily have a bad influence on the soldiers.

Seeing the happy family of three, which soldier would not miss home? Would he not miss his family?

Feng Qingxue felt sorry for them, and tactfully moved into the staff quarters.

Lu Jiang was the brigade commander, a high rank, so the mother and daughter lived in a relatively large bungalow.

There was a heated bed in the room. The soldiers diligently built a stove for them to cook and sent two baskets of dried cow dung. Sang Hong told Feng Qingxue, "Sister-in-law, the water here cannot be boiled. We boil it for a while before drinking it, so we have to find shortcuts to cook. We usually use cow dung to bake, or stir-fry noodles and highland barley noodles in a pot. Stewing is relatively rare. There is not much firewood in the plateau area. When sending supplies in summer and autumn, some coal will be transported with the car. In fact, it is not enough, so cow dung is used most of the time. Don't underestimate cow dung, sister-in-law, it is a treasure in the plateau area!"

"Where did the cow dung come from?" Feng Qingxue asked curiously.

After arriving at the camp, Feng Qingxue never went out. She only went between the dormitory and the cafeteria every day. At most, she took Xibao to watch the soldiers' training scenes at the edge of the training ground for a while. However, she noticed buildings such as stables and cowsheds in the distance.

Sang Hong smiled and said, "We are a combat team, a work team, and a production team!"

"What's the meaning?"

"In addition to training and being prepared for battle at all times, we have to grow grass and raise horses, herds of cattle and sheep. Each company has a mission, such as growing barley and growing vegetables in the low-lying areas of the river valley. Potatoes are easier to grow and can easily yield a good harvest. We also have vegetables, but not much. This can improve the lives of the troops and reduce the burden on the country," Sang Hong explained.

Feng Qingxue was very moved, "Thank you for your hard work."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Sang Hong patted his head and said, "It's not hard, sister-in-law. It's really much better now than before."
