Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 299, Return.

When I returned to the compound, I happened to meet Fang Mei and others who were coming out to get food.

Seeing him coming back, Fang Mei said with a smile: "I thought you wouldn't come back today! Get the lunch box quickly!"

"Hey, good!!"

Yang Xiaole smiled and went to the room, took out the lunch box, and followed a few people to the cafeteria.

"How are you? Why are you back so early today?"

Yang Laosan asked him with a smile.

"You'll know in a minute!!"

"Drink, you still managed to make it so mysterious! You can tell that you have gained something, otherwise I wouldn't have come back so early~~"

After Yang Laosan finished speaking, he joked: "Did you kill two rabbits or a yellow sheep?"

A few people came to the cafeteria talking and laughing.

"The engineering team has killed so many wild boars, so we can have a good year."

"Yeah! That pig is so fat!"

"I heard that the field department is holding a meeting to study how to eat this pork!"

……

While walking on the road, I heard people talking among themselves.

Hearing this sound, Yang Laosan was surprised: "Wild boar? You didn't kill it, did you? How many did you kill?"

Yang Xiaole smiled: "Well, I shot seven in total, two weighing more than 300 kilograms, and five weighing more than 100 kilograms."

"Oh my god, there are so many!"

Yang Laosan was surprised for a moment, then sneered and said: "Why don't you just eat pork? Do you want the field department to hold a conference to study it?"

Fang Mei rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "You thought you were in Kyoto?"

Then he continued: "Did you know? Our factory was planning to kill a pig at the end of the year and eat it in the canteen, and everyone would get a meat ticket. Do you know that even those who don't perform well on the meat ticket won't have this meat. For this bit of meat, all the people below It’s a mess.”

"As for?"

Yang Laosan looked incomprehensible. Their rations were less now, so they wouldn't be like this just for a little meat!
"It's not used to support your place! We haven't seen any meat since June, and the food has been transferred to you. It's not good to say that people are starving to death there. You don't know, we Some villages there have been wiped out..."

Fang Mei said nothing more.

Yang Laosan also sighed when he heard this.

A few people came to the cafeteria, grabbed some cabbage soup and a steamed bun and went back to the dormitory.

In fact, it is impossible to eat enough with this little food.

But this way, the food is better than that of the soldiers at the base. At least the steamed buns are big enough.

Back in the dormitory, several people had dinner and prepared to go out for a walk.

Company Commander Liu suddenly came over: "Don't leave yet, I have something to do with you. Come with me."

After hearing this, several people were at a loss for a while.

Follow him to the small room next to him.

After arriving at the place, he motioned for these people to sit down, and then Company Commander Liu said: "After organizational research, it has been decided that you will be able to go home in a few days."

"Really?"

Yang Laosan was pleasantly surprised!

I can finally go back, and it will be the New Year soon.

Company Commander Liu nodded: "Well, the field department held a meeting this morning to study and decide. The problems you can solve have been solved for the time being, and there is no need for you to stay here anymore."

Then he continued: "As for when to leave, we have to wait for notification, and if you leave this time, there will be no transport plane like last time. After all, the last time was more urgent. This time we will send you to the designated train station. Then you take the train back, but you don’t have to worry about tickets and meals, there will be people on the train who will take care of it for you.”

"Ah? Shall we go back by ourselves? It took us more than ten hours to fly. How long does it take to go back by car?"

"The journey is a bit long, it should take about ten days!"

"Huh? Then I can't go home to celebrate the New Year?"

Company Commander Liu thought for a moment and shook his head: "Not necessarily. The Chinese New Year is in ten days. If there are fewer cars parked in the middle, we should be able to catch up with the Chinese New Year."

"Yes! Should? That means it's unlikely."

After all, we haven’t decided when to leave yet!
Hearing this, Lao Liu smiled and said: "The people from the organization are already in contact. The results should be available in the afternoon. We may set off tomorrow morning! I will lead the team and escort you back."

After hearing this, several people knew that there was nothing they could do.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Old Liu put away his smile and said seriously: "Okay, I have informed you of the return notice. Now I will tell you again about the confidentiality of this matter. I hope you don't make mistakes. "

Several people also stopped smiling and listened to what Lao Liu was saying with serious faces.

The confidentiality regulations must be repeated frequently.

In addition, it is natural not to reveal anything related to the base.

is anything.

After the explanation, he continued: "When you go back, find the person who introduced you here as soon as possible. They will have your action report during this period. You should remember the action report. Did you hear it?"

"Ok!"

"I got it, Sarah!"

……

Several people naturally nodded in agreement.

After talking for a long time, several people nodded.

Upon seeing this, Lao Liu said: "Okay, that's all. You can wait for notification of the rest. Kong Dali, Fang Mei and Yang Laosan, you three comrades stay, I have something to tell you." Everyone else can leave."

Yang Xiaole stood up after hearing this and left with Lao Liu.

I don't know what the people were talking about there.

Yang Xiaole returned to his dormitory, lay on the bed and stretched out.

"Hey, I can finally go back~~"

Then I thought that Lao Luo asked me to take the money home, and I thought about asking Lao Liu for a while, because I had to go through them.

Lao Liu's conversation ended not long after.

Fang Mei and others all had dull faces, and their expressions were a little serious.

Yang Xiaole was confused for a while: "Sister Fang, what's wrong?"

Fang Mei turned around when she heard this, smiled and shook her head: "It's okay!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole knew what the confidentiality regulations were, and Kong Dali had the same expression.

As for Yang Laosan, he looked indifferent.

Company Commander Liu came over from that side with his hands behind his back: "Yang Xiaole, I have something to do with you! Come in for a moment."

"Oh!"

Yang Xiaole followed in.

After coming in, Captain Liu took out some money from his pocket and handed it to him: "This is the money that Luo Jinping applied to the Zhengzhi Office to send home. Let me transfer it to you. It's 93 yuan in total. He should have told you about it!"

Yang Xiaole took the money and nodded: "Yes, I said it, but he said it needs the approval of the organization."

"Well, the organization has agreed, but the money cannot be used in Luo Jinping's name for the time being. When you go back, give the money to his family in someone else's name."

After Lao Liu finished speaking, he gestured: "Please click!"

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaole took the money and began to count it.

After ordering, he raised his head and said, "Well, the money is right."

"Okay, my mission is completed. Don't go out in the afternoon. We can leave at any time when notified!"

Yang Xiaole nodded.

Thinking of something, he asked him: "By the way, Company Commander Liu, how did your family members write to you? It's impossible not to contact them, right? How do you write the address here? Or which unit should it be sent to?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Liu said directly: "The [-]th Regiment, I can only say so much and cannot say anything else."

"Then if I write a letter to my teacher, can I just write like this? Don't you need an address? Don't get me wrong! I'm not asking about this place, just the address where I'm writing."

"You write to the [-]th Group and the letter can be sent over. The Post and Telecommunications Bureau has its own system. Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I have something else to do and I have to prepare it!"

After saying that, Lao Liu left.

After everyone left, Yang Xiaole walked out of the room.

No one was playing cards in Yang Laosan's room next door at this time.

One is leaving, and the other is that Kong Dali and Fang Mei seem to have something on their minds, but they just can't say it.

In the afternoon, a few people were in the courtyard and didn't go out anywhere.

In the evening, I was told to leave at first light tomorrow.

"Xiao Le, here are the socks! Bring them over and I'll wash them for you."

After eating, Fang Mei shouted to him.

Yang Xiaole smiled and took the dirty socks over. These were the socks Fang Mei had washed for her in the past few days.

As for the socks, they were naturally a pair issued by the army and a pair of pants. After all, they came without any preparation.

The other party has been treating him as a younger brother during this time.

Seeing her washing clothes in the yard, Yang Xiaole hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Sister Fang, what's going on? I see that you seem a little unhappy, what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Fang Mei paused and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that the organization wants the three of us to stay!"

"Huh? And Kong Dali and Yang Laosan?"

"Ok!"

"Then you...are all staying?"

Fang Mei shook her head: "Yang Laosan doesn't want to, but Kong Dali said he wants to go home and think about it."

"What about you, Sister Fang?"

"me!"

Fang Mei hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "I haven't decided yet!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded lightly and didn't ask any more questions.

The next morning.

The sky was slightly bright, the wake-up call sounded, and everyone got up.

Just waiting to leave today.

Just when everyone packed up and came to the compound, Fang Mei was not seen.

Yang Xiaole was also looking around there.

Even if you don’t leave, you will at least come out and give one away! !

"Company Commander Liu, where is Sister Fang?"

Yang Xiaole looked around and asked him.

Lao Liu smiled and was about to speak.

"I'm coming."

Then I saw Fang Mei coming over with a basin: "Company Commander Liu told me yesterday that it may take you two days to drive, six steamed buns per person. Come!"

Then it was divided among everyone.

"Only six steamed buns for two days on this journey?"

Yang Laosan asked there.Upon seeing this, Lao Liu smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will go to some supply points on the way, there will be food there. This is just in case. Take it first."

After saying that, he also picked it up.

Naturally, there were Chen Hongjun and Zheng Guangrong beside them.

There was another person sitting in the passenger seat.

The last one was Yang Xiaole: "Here, pack it up, eat if you're hungry on the way!"

I stuffed him with eight steamed buns in one go.

Yang Xiaole looked at the steamed buns and hesitated for a moment: "Sister Fang, is that too much?" '

"What's so much? You're so hungry, little guy. Okay, it's almost dawn, let's go!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole thought for a while and finally nodded without saying anything.

Old Liu looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Okay, let's get in the car. Eat a steamed bun to cushion your stomach first, and drink less water. Don't be too lazy to urinate too much!" '

Then he went to the co-pilot with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Chen Hongjun and others got into the car one after another.

Yang Xiaole got into the car and heard Fang Mei saying: "Kong Dali, and Yang Laosan, you are all grown men. Xiaole is still a child, so take care of her on the road."

Kong Dali nodded.

Yang Laosan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't bully him."

"Boom~~"

The car started and set off immediately.

"Sister Fang, goodbye!"

Yang Xiaole stood there and waved his hand to Fang Mei.

"Be careful on the road!"

Fang Mei's shouting voice came from behind.

After a while, the car turned off and set off.

Yang Xiaole immediately sat down when he saw this.

Yang Laosan sighed there: "Oh my god, just sitting in this car for two days, my buttocks are so bumpy!"Why is it so far away? '

Several people felt the same after hearing this.

Riding the train for two days was enough to endure the pain, but riding this truck for two days probably meant that my legs were no longer my own.

When the car arrived at the gate of the base, I thought it was for inspection, but unexpectedly five more people came up.

Zheng Guangrong saw this and smiled: "This is someone who is going home to visit relatives."

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he took a look and saw that it was not just their car, but there were two trucks next to it, making a total of three cars.

Outside, Old Liu was talking to people and checking the number of people.

The car set off after a while.

The weather is sunny today, except for being a little cold, overall it is good.

"Hey, I haven't been home for several years, and I don't know what's going on at home!"

"How old are you? I'm six years old!"

"You haven't been home in six years, and the most in our class has been more than ten years. You only went back home this year."

"Yeah, it's not an easy mission to go home!"

……

Several people in the carriage were talking.

Yang Xiaole listened for a while and estimated that many of these people had not been home for many years, but not at this base.

Because this base seems to have only been under construction for more than a year.

It must be that I haven't been home since I was in the army.

Some even did not return home before liberation and even after liberation.

With the bumps of the car and the occasional appearance of sand dunes, hills, and the deserted Gobi Desert behind it, the car rushed towards its destination.

Fortunately, the big sandstorm that everyone was worried about did not appear.

Sporadic strong winds make people uncomfortable.

The car drove for more than ten hours. At dusk, we replenished fuel and water at a base.

As for the food that Lao Liu mentioned, he didn't even see it.

Then came another night of driving.

Day and night, the people in the car were like wilted chickens, no longer interested in talking. They only slept in different positions.

Along the way, except for sand dunes, hills, mountains, and kopecks, there are almost no green gathering places.

Except for a few sporadic small woods, the large forest is almost invisible.

Even some mountains don’t have many trees.

There is only a shallow layer of turf.

I don’t know if the route we took was specifically designed to bypass populated areas, or if this type of terrain is common around here.

After driving all night, around eight o'clock on the second day, the car slowly drove into a gathering area, and people saw a large area of ​​farmland.

The car drove into the courtyard of the regimental guest house and was asked to get out of the car by Lao Liu.

"Okay, everyone get out of the car."

Everyone got out of the car when they heard the sound.

But after coming down, I felt that walking was uneven and I felt like the world was spinning.

"Xiao Le, give me a hand!"

Yang Laosan got out of the car, a little unsteady on his feet, looked at Yang Xiaole and shouted quickly.

Kong Dali was not in a good condition either. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Fang Mei also said that you would take care of Dian Xiaole. It's good for you that you let me take care of you."

Hearing this, Yang Laosan said helplessly: "I don't want to either! These legs and feet can't be used anymore."

It's not just him, the other fighters are slightly better, but they are also in poor condition.

But it's not just like him who can't stand still.

"All assembly!"

While thinking, I heard Lao Liu's voice.

Then more than 30 people in two cars stood in three rows.

Yang Xiaole and the other four naturally passed by and stood alone in a row.

Seeing everyone gathering, Old Liu came to the edge and saluted and shook hands with those who were waiting.

Lao Liu smiled and said to the people in front of him: "Sorry to trouble you."

The other party stopped his hand and said politely: "You're welcome. We received the notice from the Corps yesterday. I guess you should be able to arrive this morning unless you encounter any special circumstances. Breakfast is ready for you."

Lao Liu nodded, "Thank you!"

Then he shouted to the crowd: "Zheng Guangrong!"

"To!"

"Take them to eat, and the driver will drive the car to supply supplies first."

"Yes!"

Several people answered him.

Then everyone was taken to the cafeteria.

A little radish soup and two steamed buns with mixed noodles for each person.

Although it was still very bad, at least I had something warm to eat. All I had eaten all day and night was cold food.

Yang Xiaole and others had dinner and sat together.

He curiously asked Lao Liu: "Company Commander, which unit of the Construction Corps is this? The 431st Regiment? Which division is it?"

Just when I passed the regiment headquarters from the gate, I saw the sign hanging at the door.

Construction Corps, there is nothing we can’t ask about this.

It's not a classified unit, and he hasn't asked random questions yet.

Old Liu nodded: "Indeed, this is the regimental guest house of the 38th Division and 43rd Regiment. What's wrong? Is there anyone I know here?"

Yang Xiaole smiled helplessly: "Indeed. There is a person in our compound, and her mother is in the 38th Battalion and 418th Company of the 7th Regiment under the 6th Division."

Hearing this, Lao Liu felt weird for a while.

"Oh! What's your name? Let me hear it and see if you recognize it."

While they were talking, the middle-aged man who had received them before asked with a smile.

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "I only know that his surname is Zhang and his mother's name is Chen Yuting."

The other party thought for a moment, then thought of something and asked, "Is she a little girl from Kyoto?"

"Hey, yes! Have you seen it?"

"Haha, I've seen it before! It was the beginning of the year, and I lived here for many days!"

Then he smiled at Lao Liu and said, "You don't know, after she comes, many of our young men here want to find a wife in Kyoto."

When Lao Liu saw this, he smiled and said, "What? Are you a good friend? Do you want to call someone over for you?"

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes: "Liu Company Commander, you should go back and take care of Sister Fang first! Otherwise, I will write a letter to tell Sister Fang when I go back!"

Everyone could tell that Fang Mei was interested in Lao Liu.

I just don’t know what the outcome will be.

Hearing this, Lao Liu's face turned serious: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Yang Xiaole chuckled and then said with a smile: "I'm just talking casually, but I have agreed that you are not allowed to bully my sister Fang!"

Then he smiled at the person next to him who just spoke: "I just asked casually. I haven't seen anyone. I just heard someone from our compound talk about it. I just remember this place."

Hearing this, the other party smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

I thought it was very familiar!

Old Liu looked at the other party and asked: "Director Chen, what's going on here? I think the martial law is quite powerful!"

In the middle, we encountered several batches of sentry checks.

Director Chen shook his head when he heard this: "It has not been very peaceful here recently. It has been since the beginning of the year."

These words made Lao Liu stunned for a moment, then he thought of something and asked: "That thing is it? Are you still making trouble?"

Director Chen looked around, pondered for a moment and nodded: "Well, it's not over yet! But it's much better."

After hearing this, Lao Liu pondered for a moment and nodded gently.

Nothing more.

Seeing this, Director Chen walked around and said with a smile: "I don't have any steamed buns, but I have enough carrot soup! If you don't have enough, you can make it yourself."

"it is good!"

The others all responded with smiles upon hearing this.

Then Director Chen left.
