Chen Yuefei was released a day early.
Jiang Jun contributed to this. She later returned to the dormitory and hid under the quilt, writing another full sheet of paper and asked Xu Zhijian to find a way to pass it to Chen Yuefei.
As a result, Chen Yuefei, a promising student who was delayed by the anti-reading movement, wrote an article with great enthusiasm and became a model for male soldiers to learn from.
The unlucky Yang Yong was still painfully writing the fifty-first word.
Typing hurts so much, it hurts more than a swollen jaw. Typing is so hard, building a wall is easier than this!
Chen Yuefei happily went to the company office to release himself from confinement.
Tan Lujin didn't scold Chen Yuefei much, but just told him that the next tasks he would be assigned would be midnight guard duty.
Midnight is better, it’s cooler!
Just for this, Chen Yuefei was satisfied. His cheerful expression made Tan Lujin suspect that he was not punishing Chen Yuefei but giving him a green light!
Watching Chen Yuefei leave the office, Tan Lujin frowned and said to Guo Heping, "Instructor, when I went to pick him up, he seemed so motivated. How come after staying here for so many days, he seems to have lost all his awareness?"
Guo Heping laughed. "No enlightenment? Look at his self-criticism! I don't even have such a profound understanding!"
Tan Lujin initially thought that Chen Yuefei had hired someone to write it, but after questioning him for a long time, he couldn't find any flaws in his response. He could only say angrily, "Maybe that group of people are good at writing self-criticisms. Look how tough he is. Even though his squad leader was removed, he didn't seem sad at all!"
One by one, the self-reviews were written so smoothly and read so well, and they were so powerful, just like speeches."
Guo Heping was amused. "Then let's write a report to the regiment headquarters and apply for a radio equipment for the camp. We can also set up a small radio station in our recruit camp. If we change a few words in Chen Yuefei's self-criticism, it will become a good speech draft for study. Don't you think the squad leader's Beijing accent sounds good when he reads the speech?"
While they are still here, let's set up the small radio station. When new recruits come in, let them take turns being the announcer and read more of these good study scripts, so that everyone's ideological level can be improved."
Tan Lujin's brow furrowed even deeper as he answered irrelevantly, "Engineer Zhang said that regardless of the assessment results, the second squad leader must be transferred to the military base. Tell me, who among these people can be kept? I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking!"
They all have connections and backers, so now we can only see who performs poorly in the exam.
The more Tan Lujin thought about it, the more headache he felt. "I think it would be great if we could keep the squad leader. She could be promoted to platoon leader, put up newspapers, run the radio station, and manage the medical team. If she could stay, the cavalry company and the border defense company would definitely come visit us more often. How great!"
Guo Heping was even happier: "I think if the second squad leader stayed, it would be almost what you thought!"
Tan Lujin shook his head and stood up. "I think she's the one who wants to go to the base the most. She hangs around Engineer Zhang all day, asking questions with a notebook. I think she's just trying to get through Engineer Zhang's backdoor. Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. The training will end in a few days, and their training mission must continue. I'm going to go out for a walk. Engineer Wu is right. They need to build a basketball court in the main playground. I'll go take a look."
Watching Tan Lujin stride out, Guo Heping sat at his desk without moving, holding the cigarette under his nose and sniffing it, thinking carefully about the change in the company commander.
It seems that Old Tan no longer has the same persistence in confronting others as before.
Is it because the experts are here, or is it because he really figured it out?
The soldiers worked quickly while the sun had set but it was still light in the mountains.
Several experts in the expert group were also busy. Engineer Zhang liked to wander around the vegetable fields and teach the soldiers in the kitchen squad how to build racks and sheds to grow vegetables. Engineers Wu and Ju liked to talk with the soldiers and observe the rationality of their training. Engineer Fan liked to let the soldiers take him for a walk by the river.
Jiang Jun wanted to go to the riverside the most. There were only a few seedlings sprouting in the vegetable patch, but it wasn't much to look at. "Mr. Zhang, I heard from my dad about this automatic sprinkler pipe that can be used to water the flowers and vegetables on a regular basis. How great! It would be so much easier!"
The water pipes in the recruit camp had long been cracked, and the pumping motors were rusted. All the water had to be pulled back by the soldiers on carts pushed to the river. In the past few days, they also had to build walls and mix cement, so the water consumption increased dramatically. The company's two carts never stopped. The soldiers who pulled water under the scorching sun were extremely tired, and they had to be accompanied by two more soldiers with guns.
Engineer Zhang smiled and said, "Engineer Fan is an expert in this area. You see he often goes to the river to think about this."
Jiang Jun asked, "Why can't we dig a well?" The river was quite far away.
The grassy meadows near the campsite are beautiful, indicating that the underground water source must be abundant.
Engineer Zhang glanced at Jiang Jun approvingly. "Team Leader Jiang, you're right! Engineer Fan is definitely looking for the spring."
Engineer Fan's task was to find a good place and dig a large well so that the soldiers in the nearby camps could use it.
Near the recruit camp, in addition to the border defense company and cavalry company, there is also a radar station of an air force unit.
Most importantly, this well also serves as a reserve for the military base.
The other female soldiers who were following were all very happy, and He Xiangdong was the happiest: "That's great! Now we have water wherever we go!"
Whether she went to the military base or stayed in the border defense company, as long as she had water to drink and water to wash clothes, she felt that she was still alive.
Zhang Gong smiled and asked, "How about it? Do you want to go for a walk by the river?"
Jiang Jun jumped up: "Of course I want to go!"
He Xiangdong bit his lip: "I want to bring a washbasin!" This queen of cleanliness thinks of washing when she thinks of water.
Finally, led by Engineer Zhang, with Guo Heping and Hu Dali protecting them, all the female soldiers followed Engineer Zhang to the river.
Before they reached the river, the female soldiers began to jump and cheer as they looked at the mirror-like river from afar.
The female soldiers who had only watched black and white movies never knew that the grassland rivers were so beautiful!
"After coming here for so long, I finally get to see what the prairie looks like!"
"Why can't we camp by the river?"
"That's right, it's so convenient to do laundry!"
"This is a military area anyway, and no herders are coming here, so why would they build the barracks so far away?"
The female soldiers chattered and asked questions endlessly.
Only He Xiangdong took off his shoes and socks and put them on the shore, rolled up his trouser legs, picked up the washbasin and walked into the creek.
It's one thing to have beautiful water and grass, but what if they call for returning to camp before you finish washing your clothes? Hurry!
"Hey, the water is so cool! Look, there are fish in the river!" He Xiangdong shouted when he saw the fish.
