Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 385 Go, go home!

Gu Siwei came to the tent of the temporary command post, but as soon as he entered, he saw sitting next to the middle-aged officer, and a young man wearing glasses, gentle and gentle, with a camera hanging around his neck.

About [-] years old, with a thick wine bottle base, it shows that the young man is a standard cultural person.

"Siwei, this is reporter Zhang from Military Daily. After hearing about your deeds, he came to interview you and wanted to tell more people about your story..."

After hearing this, Gu Siwei subconsciously stretched out his hand and scratched his ears, and thought: I'll go, buddy, is this a typical example now?

As for what the reporter heard about Gu Siwei's deeds, how could Gu Siwei believe it? In fact, the higher-ups were planning to publicize Gu Siwei's story.

The army and the people are fish and water, not to mention Gu Siwei, a model of supporting the army who works hard.

Gu Siwei was not polite either. Anyway, he was thick-skinned and the city wall turned around, so he ignored the matter of posing.

"Hello, hello, I am a loyal reader of Military Daily." Gu Siwei just opened his mouth and came here.

Reporter Zhang couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking: You're from a place, and you're from the mountains. It's so fresh to say that you are a loyal reader of Military Daily!

As soon as you hear the military daily, you know that it is run by the army. Although it is also distributed locally, what kind of place is it?At least a place at the level of the county's armed forces department can have a military daily. Gu Siwei can't be a loyal reader.

"I was deeply moved after listening to Mr. Gu's story. For more than ten days, he traveled dozens of miles a day to deliver supplies to the trapped troops. This kind of spirit is particularly inspiring. I heard that you can only sleep for less than three hours a day... ...".

Gu Siwei, a shameless person, completely forgot at this moment that he had to sleep in the space every day until he couldn't sleep with his eyes closed. He nodded solemnly, and then said seriously that he didn't work hard at all, and went all out for the construction , the people in our Shimo Village love the People's Army and so on.

What Gu Siwei didn't expect was that things were simpler than he thought. The reporter asked Gu Siwei a few more questions, not some advanced questions, but how did you think of helping our soldiers? How could Gu Siwei answer the question wrongly, so the reporter's question was in place, and Gu Siwei's answer was quite standard.

In the end, Gu Siwei carried a lot of supplies, which were very heavy, and took a few photos in the ice and snow. Jiao looked up at the sky, looking like he was fighting against the sky.

After these photos are taken, the interview is considered complete.

Reporter Zhang didn't have time to chat with Gu Siwei here. After the interview, he had to go up the mountain to interview Li Zhengda and those people.

By the way, Da Mao was not included in the content of the promotion, not to mention the photos, and Da Mao was not even mentioned in a single word.But it's useless for a bear to want these false names. With so much meat raised every day, Gu Siwei suspected that Da Mao might not want to go back to Yinsongya.

Gu Siwei returned to his temporary small tent here, and he didn’t have anything to pack. He didn’t bring much when he came, but now he wears most of what he needs to bring, which is a bed given by the army. The quilt, two blankets, etc., can only fit in a pannier.

To leave, Gu Siwei is so reluctant to leave here. It may be that every man has a military dream in his heart. Although Gu Siwei did not serve as a soldier, he lived with these soldiers for ten days. I feel like I made up for it.

Smiling, and finally looked at himself in the tent, Gu Siwei gently lifted the curtain and walked out.

When Gu Siwei went out, he was stunned.

Because in front of Gu Siwei, there was a neat row of soldiers, and the middle-aged officer held two horses in his hands with a smile on his face, and was looking at Gu Siwei.

On the foreheads of the two horses were pinned two large silk flowers, which were the same as the other big silk flowers on Da Mao's chest at the moment.

Just when Gu Siwei was in a daze, two soldiers holding big red flowers came over and put the big red flowers around Gu Siwei's neck.

"Comrade Gu Siwei, after the research and decision of the head of our department, we would like to express our most sincere thanks to you for your help in this mission~!"

Whoa!
Before Gu Siwei could react, there was thunderous applause.

"thanks, thanks!"

Gu Siwei felt a little sand for a while, and it seemed to fall into his eyes by the wind. Fortunately, the sand was quite small, and it didn't affect the handsome image that Lao Gu always thought he was.

"To thank you,... I decided to give you two retired army horses!"

This Gu Siwei really didn't expect that his help here is firstly because of the relationship between Li Zhengda and Qiao Qisheng, and secondly, the military and civilian fish and water situation in our country is not just for fun. Gu Siwei has never doubted this.

"Comrade Gu Siwei, come and take the reins."

"This, this!"

Gu Siwei hesitated a little.

But after thinking about it, he walked over and took the reins.

Waiting for Gu Siwei to take the reins, the audience applauded again.

For the help provided by Gu Siwei, how could this side not want to give a certain reward?Because of this, the middle-aged officer specifically asked Qiao Qisheng what Gu Siwei was missing.

Qiao Qisheng thought for a while, as far as he knew, there was a shortage of large animals at Gu Siwei's side, because Qiao Yitong said that once Gu Siwei borrowed from the livestock production team, all the animals were borrowed away.

After getting the news, the troops studied it and decided to pick two better-looking horses from the army horses to be eliminated and hand them over to Gu Siwei.

The officer who has been with Gu Siwei for more than ten days is going to pick a horse, how can he be polite?He directly picked the two best army horses and brought them to Gu Siwei.

The two horses are not tall horses, but their shoulder heights can be considered short. With a shoulder height of about 1.4 meters, they are not considered tall horses, but they can be regarded as passing.

Some people may think that this horse must be tall and big.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding. You have to look at what the horse is used for. For ceremonial purposes, it is naturally better to use a tall horse. It looks mighty and majestic, but in other places, a tall horse may not be good.

The mountain side is suitable for medium-height but strong-bodied draft horses.

If it is pulling a cart, a tall and strong draft horse must be used.

For horse racing, a short-distance thoroughbred with thin legs and long legs is the best choice.

Long-distance horse racing is the world of Arabian horses.

In short, different horses have different uses and are suitable for different occasions.

Like here, the most suitable ones are actually local ponies, which are small in size and bigger than donkeys. They are small in stature and have a low center of gravity, which is especially suitable for walking on mountain roads.

But to say that the animal that is most suitable for the mountains is not the horse, and the mule is actually the best mountain tool animal.

Generally, horses have a characteristic, that is, they are easy to get sick, which is a headache, but donkeys and mules born of horses are very good at this point. They have the physique of horses and donkeys are easy to feed. They are raised in the mountains Whether it's carrying things or riding, it's the best.

Why did the army give Gu Siwei horses, but once they were given, there were still two horses.

The reason is also very simple. The first batch of mountain horses from the north of the Great Wall did not adapt to the local climate. Especially during this period of time, they could hardly be used normally. They were always sick and almost all lay in their nests.

The main reason for lying down is that horses from other places cannot bear the hardships of the local area, and cannot adapt to the humid and cold climate here, which is completely different from the dry and cold place where they originated.

As a result, these horses would lose weight when the work was slightly heavy, and they would not be able to work for a few days. mountain horse.

Although he couldn't do heavy work, it was still possible to pull a simple thing, so the army gave Gu Siwei two horses as a reward.

Gu Siwei was naturally grinning happily. He originally wanted to buy livestock, so he couldn't always borrow the Daqing mule from Yang Chuanwu's family.

If you want to buy, it is not easy for you to buy at this time. There is no livestock market at all, and almost all of them are public to public at the moment. If there is a private livestock, the price is not low, and it is very likely that the quality is not good.

This is even easier to understand. Who would be willing to sell a good animal or a strong animal?
Just like that, under the farewell of the soldiers, Gu Siwei took Da Mao and led two horses, went out of the camp and got on the boat, got off the boat on the other side, and rode his horse all the way towards the factory.

With his own horse, Gu Siwei was even more willing to feed it, and directly threw the two horses into the space without demarcating a range for them, and let them eat whatever they wanted.

Tell Hu Yanqiu and the others, it is natural to say that these horses are fostered elsewhere.

Next, Gu Siwei's life was a bit leisurely.

Do nothing all day!

Day after day of doing nothing!

After another half a month, Gu Siwei really couldn't bear it.

Everyday here is the old man’s place, at most people like Xu Congwen can drink, but they can’t drink often, they have to work, not only work, everyone is a workaholic, once in a while is fine, every day Who has the time to accompany Gu Siwei to talk about this nonsense.

Coming back from a circle outside, Gu Siwei was a little gloomy.

When Hu Yanqiu saw it, he said with a smile: "Who is messing with you outside, making a fool of yourself?"

Gu Siwei raised his head and sighed first: "Daughter-in-law, spring plowing is about to start, I'm going to go home first...".

"Brother, you want to go home? I'll go back with you too, I'm almost growing hair here."

When Sicui in the room heard that he was coming home, he immediately regained his spirits, got out of the room in a hurry, and looked at Gu Siwei with big eyes blinking.

Uh!
Gu Siwei really wanted to say, it's your brother, I want to go back, and your house is here to take care of your sister-in-law, but how can I say it when the words come to my throat.

Just when Gu Siwei was hesitating, Hu Yanqiu said: "You go back? How can you go back alone? We are going to jail here, and you go home happy? No, we have to go together!"

Gu Siwei looked at his wife in a daze and said, "You don't want to stay here anymore?"

"Nonsense, it's almost suffocating me." Hu Yanqiu smiled and said, "I thought you would go out every day and like this place."

Gu Siwei blurted out: "I like shit, and I'm almost suffocated."

"Me too," Si Cui said.

The three of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"walk home!"
