Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 17 Eating Meat Every Day
At 05:30 the next morning, Li Jin woke up and walked out of the room. It was still dark and visibility was very low.

Li Jin went out to patrol, but found that Chen Erdan, who was standing guard at the entrance of the village, and another young soldier were slacking off. The two were sitting on the ground against the adobe wall and sleeping with their guns in their hands.

Quietly coming to Chen Erdan, Li Jin stretched out his hand to grab Hanyang Zaoxiang in Chen Erdan's arms and quietly took the gun away.

As soon as Li Jin grabbed the gun, Chen Erdan woke up suddenly, and then planned to attack Li Jin. Fortunately, he recognized Li Jin.

"Platoon, platoon leader!" Chen Erdan regained his energy all of a sudden, he got up hastily, sweating profusely from fright, and stuttered.

"Is it comfortable to sleep?" Li Jin said with a smile. Fortunately, the kid's gun was not taken away by him, otherwise, he would have scolded Chen Erdan to the core.

"Platoon leader, I won't dare next time!" Erdan Chen hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"Call him up." Li Jin looked at the soldiers beside him.

"Little Wu, get up quickly, the platoon leader is here." Erdan Chen kicked the soldier and said in his mouth.

"Don't make trouble, what kind of platoon leader, I'm the biggest now, no one should bother me." Zhao Xiaowu closed his eyes and muttered.

Within two seconds, Zhao Xiaowu opened his eyes instantly, and then saw Li Jin standing in front of him, and he stood up abruptly.

"Platoon leader!!!" Zhao Xiaowu swallowed wildly, his nervous legs were shaking.

"I heard you are the biggest?" Li Jin smiled.

"Don't dare, the platoon leader is the biggest, the platoon leader is the biggest." Zhao Xiaowu said, his forehead was already sweating nervously, and his back was wet.

"Do you two know you're wrong?" Li Jin said expressionlessly.

"Understood." The two said in unison.

"What's wrong?"

"When you are on guard, you shouldn't be lazy and doze off!" Chen Erdan said.

"Do you still dare in the future?" Li Jin asked.

"Don't dare!"

"Do you know how serious this matter is? Sleeping while on guard, if an enemy gets in, all comrades in arms will be killed by the enemy in their sleep!" Li Jin said angrily.

"It's not that serious, isn't there a sentry in front?" Zhao Xiaowu said.

"Then if the front guard post is killed by the enemy, there are only two of you left, and the two of you are sleeping,
No one came to warn his comrades, so what was the consequence?You talk about it. "Li Jin said slowly.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaowu felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet to his back. If it was true as the platoon leader said, they were the last line of defense, but they were sleeping.

Then all comrades in arms may be killed by the two of them.

Thinking of this, the two of them turned pale with fright.

"I won't hold you accountable this time. After all, I might have been a little tired last night, so I didn't have the energy.

But if there is a next time, you two just pack up and leave, and I will pretend that I never taught you two soldiers! "Li Jin said seriously.

"Yes! There will be no next time!" Chen Erdan and Zhao Xiaowu shouted in unison.

"Okay, you two go to rest, I'll stand guard." Li Jin told them to go to sleep.

"Platoon leader, let's come, no matter what, we should stand on this post!" Zhao Xiaowu said.

"That's right." Erdan Chen also said.

"Okay, then you continue to stand guard." Li Jin glanced at the two, knowing that they should not dare to commit crimes in the future.

He continued to patrol. In fact, there were clear and hidden guard posts in Wujia Village. If there were only clear guard posts, the consequences would be unimaginable if something like Chen Erdan's happened.

After the patrol, none of the soldiers on the other guard posts fell asleep, which made Li Jin very satisfied.

After Li Jin finished his patrol, it was already 06:30 in the morning, and the red sun had already risen, dispelling the coolness in the air.

When Li Jin came to He's house, he found that He Chun and the others had already gotten up, fetching water and washing by the well of He's house.

"You guys woke up pretty early." Li Jin pushed open the door and walked in.

"Platoon Leader Li, you also woke up quite early. I thought you would sleep in as a cadre." He Chun joked.

"You're joking, I don't dare to sleep late. After you wash up, come to the barracks for breakfast. After breakfast, I will tell you about the Women's Rescue Society." Li Jin said.

"Okay." He Chun nodded.

Li Jin turned and left. When he returned to the barracks, many soldiers had already got up and washed.

Although they were resting today and there was no trumpeter to blow the wake-up call, they still woke up at that hour, after all, they were used to getting up at this hour.

Li Jin came to the kitchen and took a look.

Members of the cooking class were cooking bacon porridge.

"Huh? Was this bacon seized from the Wang family?" Li Jin said.

"That's right, platoon leader, we seized hundreds of catties. When we came back, we brought the bacon to the kitchen. We cut the bacon and made bacon porridge early this morning. We also steamed white flour steamed buns," said a soldier.

"It seems that today's breakfast is very rich." Li Jin smiled.

"That is, today is probably the best breakfast I have eaten in a long time. Unfortunately, there are no eggs, otherwise I can eat better." The soldier said.

A month ago, the breakfast I ate was porridge with pickles, and most of the bowls were full of rice soup. Today is the best day, and the chopsticks will not pour into the porridge.

"Don't worry, we will have meat and eggs to eat every day in the future, so we won't be hungry anymore," Li Jin said.

Now that I have money, I will have enough food and meat in the future.

"Platoon leader, don't be joking, we will take it seriously."

"Yes."

Several members of the cooking class spoke after hearing it.

"Who are you kidding? Starting tomorrow, there must be eggs in your breakfast. If there are no eggs, each of you will punch me, and I will never fight back." Li Jin said directly.

Isn't it just an egg? Now that he has money, what is a mere egg?

"Then we'll wait for the platoon leader's good news." The soldiers said.

"Okay, no problem." Li Jin agreed without hesitation.

He walked out of the cooking class, just in time to see Xu Qingfeng walking towards him.

"Platoon leader, here is my purchase list, can you see if there is anything to add?" Xu Qingfeng handed a piece of paper to Li Jin.

On the list, one pig, one hundred chickens, fifty catties of eggs, and fifty bolts of gray cloth.

Among them, gray cloth is used to make military uniforms.

"We will build a pig pen in the past two days to raise pigs. Then we will buy [-] big pigs and [-] small pigs to raise." Li Jin said.

"Yes!" Xu Qingfeng nodded. He didn't even dare to think about buying so many pigs before, but now he plans to buy them directly.
