Chapter 87 Railway Construction Corps
The little soldier took a bowl and poured a bowl of hot water for Liu Guixin: "It's all right, everything is done."

Liu Guixin asked him, "How old are you? What's your name?"

The little soldier said: "My name is Wei Zhongjun. I am nineteen years old."

Liu Guixin said: "It's really not easy to be a soldier at such a young age."

Wei Zhongjun said, "It's not young anymore, Nineteen is an adult. The one opposite Tiejian is younger than me."

Liu Guixin asked: "Tiejian? What?"

Wei Zhongjun said: "The Railway Construction Corps is organized locally and cooperates with our construction. Our troops are in charge of the caves and bridges, and they are in charge of digging the flat land to lay the roadbed, getting some water and materials, and sending us supplies.

They are all students, from junior high school to high school, and most of them are not yet eighteen. That little girl shed tears one by one tired, looking pitiful.They are also organized according to the regiment, battalion and company platoon, and that company has fifteen or six squads. "

Liu Guixin said, "How many people are there?"

Wei Zhongjun said: "I heard that there are tens of thousands of people, fifty to sixty thousand, and they are hard to work. They are piled up with people."

Liu Guixin said: "That's right, what can a girl of fifteen or sixteen do. Alas, she's cheating."

Wei Zhongjun waved his hands and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, you can't say that."

Liu Guixin asked, "What's wrong?"

Wei Zhongjun looked around and said, "Many of them are from the city. The red soldiers and so on in the past are not allowed to make trouble now. They are all here to work."

Liu Guixin asked: "Are there many girls?"

Wei Zhongjun nodded: "Many, half of them."

Liu Guixin asked: "Then you don't have a match? Just draw one."

Wei Zhongjun's face turned red, and he laughed a few times.

Liu Guixin drank half a bowl of water, looked outside and asked, "Is the family room still available? Where is it?"

Wei Zhongjun said: "In the back, there is a piece here, and there is another piece there, just go up from the head of this room."

Liu Guixin said, "Why isn't this one and that one divided by company?"

Wei Zhongjun said, "I don't know. It was like this when I came here, and I haven't been there. I don't have any family members yet."

"Gui Xin." Zhang Qingzhi's voice came in from the door, and people arrived before the sound.

Liu Guixin turned his head and looked over, Zhang Qingzhi walked in wearing a big white vest, leaned on the wall to take off his shoes and poured out the sand: "How long have you been here?"

Liu Guixin said: "After a while, it was just that the car sat for a long time, and my whole body hurt from the bumps."

Wei Zhongjun called the squad leader, Zhang Qingzhi nodded, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back to the room to rest, where are your things?"

Liu Guixin stood up and said, "In your room, I didn't know which one belonged to you, so I just put it on the ground. How did you know I was here?"

The two came out of the cafeteria and walked towards the barracks. Zhang Qingzhi said, "You were notified when you arrived yesterday."

Liu Guixin said: "The barracks here are not as good as the original one. It is inconvenient to go uphill and downhill. If it rains, will it be impossible to go?"

Zhang Qingzhi said, "I'm used to walking." He went into the barracks and took his things out, and the two of them turned around and walked up the room.

The family room is a little distance away from the barracks. There are several rows of large tile-roofed houses with water rooms and toilets.

Zhang Qingzhi said: "The conditions here are not as good as those over there. Even the water is labor-intensive. Here, the water can be pumped. The iron construction on the other side depends on people."

Liu Guixin turned his head and looked towards the opposite side. Across the wide ravine, the messy houses on the opposite slope were all the self-built houses of the villagers. Wearing military uniforms, most of them are casual clothes from home.

Zhang Qingzhi said: "There are a lot of them, and they don't live together, so they fill in the places they have."

Liu Guixin asked: "They are all a group of children, what can they do?"

Zhang Qingzhi glanced at Liu Guixin: "It's like how old you are. What are you doing? Digging earth, carrying water, laying roadbeds, working as a health worker, if you can't live without work, how can you still be idle? You didn't see them eating that stuff, oops, It's all a fool. Half-grown children are so fooled."

In fact, it’s not too far away, it’s more than 20 meters away, and the front of the house is paved.

Zhang Qingzhi looked for it, and opened the door of a room: "This one, come in."

After entering the room, Zhang Qingzhi took off the hat on his head and hung it on the wall. Liu Guixin laughed, and Zhang Qingzhi reached out and touched his head a few times and laughed again: "What are you laughing at? You have to wear a hat every day. It's too hot to cover, and the troops are going to sleep again." If you don't want to shave your head, let's deal with it like this. Isn't it ugly?"

Liu Guixin collapsed on the kang with a smile: "Okay, it looks good, you can do it like this from now on."

Zhang Qingzhi shaved off all the hair on the top of his head, leaving only a circle around it, so he couldn't see it when he put on the hat, but after taking off the hat, the image was so funny that Liu Guixin's stomach hurt from laughing.

Zhang Qingzhi patted his bald head twice: "Cool down, or you'll get prickly heat." He went to unpack the luggage on the kang and put it on the bunk: "Lie down for a while, I'll call you for dinner, do you want to eat anything? I'll let the kitchen do it for you."

Liu Guixin said: "No, what are you doing that special? The food here is better than at home. Why did your class set up its own cafeteria?"

Zhang Qingzhi said: "There are too many people, and there are too many pieces in charge. When there is no food in the company, the regiment will get a separate one for the class, and there will be food at any time. You can go to the company to eat, and there is no one." Tube."

Liu Guixin sat up and pointed to the luggage on his back: "Here, I brought you something."

Zhang Qingzhi carried the luggage to the kang: "What can you bring me so far away, everything is here."

Liu Guixin opened the luggage and took out everything: "My mother fried the sauce. These are the shoes my mother and I sewed for you. I brought some pears, walnuts, pine nuts, and hazelnuts. I don't think you can eat them here." .”

Liu Guixin muttered about taking out his things, and put aside the clothes and shoes he had brought, and put them in order.

Zhang Qingzhi knocked two hazelnuts: "It's really fragrant. There really isn't one here."

Liu Guixin took out another plastic bag: "This is a mushroom. My dad dried it. There wasn't much in it. I took half of it. The cooperative collected it, and sold the rest. It's a task. Now many families rely on one autumn to go up the mountain." Get something to top it off."

Zhang Qingzhi said, "Is it selling?"

Liu Guixin handed the mille-soled cloth shoes to Zhang Qingzhi: "Try it. Sell it to the cooperative, but it's also quietly, anyway, everyone does it like this."

Zhang Qingzhi went to get a basin of water and came back to wash his feet, put on the layered soles and stepped on the ground, nodded and said, "Well, it's just right, these shoes are still comfortable to wear."

Liu Guixin said, "That's fine. I'll make it for you later. I wanted to sew you some clothes, but my dad said the army wouldn't let you wear them."

Zhang Qingzhi said: "If you don't let it go, you don't need it anyway. It's good to have a military uniform, and it's also resistant to wear."
