Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 591: A relative?

“Beep beep beep beep~~~”

Just when people had almost finished writing their letters, the sound of a trumpet was heard outside.

This made everyone stunned!
"What's the matter? A war?"

Zhao Gang asked curiously.

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes: "All collective announcements in the army are made using trumpets. It's time for lunch, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and get your lunch boxes! We'll be singing songs later!"

"Ah? Have you eaten yet?"

Everyone was excited. They had walked for more than four or five hours in the afternoon. Their legs were tired and their stomachs were rumbling.

The scene began to become chaotic.

Yang Xiaole followed the crowd with his lunch box.

The male and female dormitories are next to each other, but there is a wall in the middle and each is in its own yard.

After everyone came out, the scene became chaotic again.

As people came to the cafeteria on this side of the square, the soldiers who had been busy working there also came back one after another.

Already waiting in line.

And at this moment these people were there singing.

The voice is loud and powerful:
"Every Red Army soldier must bear in mind the three major disciplines and eight points of attention:
First, all actions must be carried out under command, and only by moving in unison can victory be achieved;

Second, I never take anything from the masses, and the masses support and like me;

Third, all spoils must be turned over to the public, and efforts must be made to reduce the burden on the people.

We must abide by the three major disciplines and never forget the eight points of attention:
First……

......"

The scene was quite lively.

When everyone arrived at the place, the two platoon leaders, Meng Zhiyuan and Wang Jing, were already waiting there.

Seeing this scene, everyone stopped walking.

Just when everyone was about to speak, they heard two people shouting.

"Everyone assemble in row 5 (row 6)!"

They were all newcomers. When they heard the sound and saw the situation, they knew they had to assemble. They immediately lined up according to the previous formation, with two rows together.

Meng Zhiyuan looked at the crowd and started shouting.

"Everyone, stand at attention, look to the right, look forward, and at ease."

After a pause, he continued, "From today on, you will be soldiers of the Corps, and you must follow the rules in everything you do.

In the army, everything is ordered by the bugle call. When you hear the bugle call, remember what you heard today. This is the assembly call for meals. In the future, there will be bugle calls for going to work, turning off lights, emergency assemblies, etc.

Everyone will gradually become familiar with this in the future.

Let me tell you the rules of eating.

From now on, we will sing songs every time we eat. Whoever sings in unison, loudly, and with vigor will eat first! "

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other!
Seeing this, Meng Zhiyuan continued, "Of course, everyone is tired after a day, so we won't sing anymore."

At this time, people from other teams had already gone to eat one by one.

Gradually, only two teams were left.

Meng Zhiyuan looked at everyone and said, "To welcome you today, the company made pickled cabbage buns for you!"

"Oh~~~"

These words immediately aroused cheers from the crowd.

"What are you doing! Just now I said you guys looked good, but now you're showing your true colors?"

Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Meng Zhiyuan shouted.

These words immediately made people quiet down again.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Meng Zhiyuan said, "Okay, all classes line up and enter the cafeteria in an orderly manner. Class 1 goes first!"

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole's team left first and led everyone into the cafeteria.

It was also the first time for everyone to see the cafeteria.

There are burned earth bricks here, and some old tables and chairs that are shiny black. There are already quite a few people queuing up at the window for getting food.

Meng Zhiyuan and his men were queuing up there for food.

The Shanghai educated youth in the class looked at the steamed buns and asked curiously, "Platoon leader, do we only have noodles here?"

The other party smiled and shook his head: "I know that some of you are from the south and are not used to eating pasta! There are also many people from the south in our company. For the time being, we can only do this. Later on, the company may add some rice."

Hearing this, the people in the South breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Xiaole watched there.

Northeast China is rich in rice, but Beidahuang is not the main rice producing area; wheat and corn are still the main crops.

The number is not as high as that in Liaoning and Jilin.

During the chat, everyone also learned about their allowances.

Unlike the people on the farm, who pay wages and have rationed food, they receive an allowance, which was only 6 yuan a month in the first year.

But the food is from the third-class kitchen, which costs 4 cents per day.

Unlimited quantity.

If you exclude things like oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, the money for vegetables, and various additional expenses, you can still eat your fill.

It won't be worse than before in the city.

Of course, being full doesn’t mean you’ll get hungry slowly, after all, the food is there.

As for eating meat!

There is no need to think about it for now, as the time for them to eat meat has been set.

One month later is the Army Day on August 1st.

Hearing this, everyone wailed.

"Ah? It's going to be a month later!"

In the city, meat now requires a ticket, but other kinds of food such as chicken, duck, and fish do not require a ticket. As long as you are willing, you can still eat meat occasionally.

Especially the educated youth who went to Beijing and Shanghai now needed tickets, but they also had a ration of one kilogram.

If there are many people in your family, you can buy a pound of meat every few days and take turns eating it, so you can eat it often.

As long as there are four people in the family, they can eat meat once a week.

Still pretty good.

Meng Zhiyuan said with a straight face: "This is a military unit! Our border defense company not only has to defend the border, but also has to produce more food to support national construction! Do you really think you are here to enjoy yourself?"

We are all of the same age, so of course I am not afraid!
Xu Jinbu said: "Platoon leader, we are not capitalists who pursue hedonism. The more we are like this, the more we need to eat! If a war really comes, we will have more energy to drive the enemy away!"

"That's right!"

The others also talked and laughed.

Meng Zhiyuan knew that these people did not take him seriously for the time being. After all, he was only an educated youth who arrived last year.

How much older he is.

Moreover, these people are all "battle-hardened" and often quarrel with others.

Of course he's good at talking!

"Okay, what did I just say? Soldiers are supposed to obey orders. What to eat and how to eat are all arranged by the company!"

This really made people speechless.

If you really get serious, these people are still afraid.

"Xiao Le, what's wrong with you? What are you laughing at?"

Xu Jinbu looked at Yang Xiaole's smile and asked curiously.

Yang Xiaole looked at the people present and smiled: "It's okay!"

These guys really don’t regard Meng Zhiyuan as a platoon leader!

If this were someone more serious, they would have taken it too far.

These guys will definitely be given trouble later.

Everyone lined up to get their meals.

Each person gets four large-sized buns, weighing about 100 grams, as well as porridge and some stew.

Stewed radish and cabbage.

The old three here.

Radishes, potatoes, and cabbage.

This is a military unit after all, and with so many people, they can only grow vegetables that have high yields and are easy to manage.

There are very few other species.

There were ten people at one table, with a large enamel basin in the middle, which contained Ou's stewed radish and cabbage.

There aren't many oil droplets floating around.

Everyone was already extremely hungry and began to eat with big mouthfuls, almost snatching away the food.

It’s not that direct, but it’s very fast.

Hands are fast, hands are slow!
Not stupid!
While they were eating, instructor Zhao Tao came over and asked these people with concern whether they were used to it.

The answer is of course yes.

Although Yang Xiaole knew these people, they did not give him any special treatment. He just nodded and continued to ask other people.

The sauerkraut buns were indeed delicious, and even some educated youth from Shanghai ate them with gusto.

After eating and drinking their fill and cleaning their lunch boxes, everyone went back home together.

"Xu Jinbu! It's better to have a sister!"

Walking on the road, everyone was chatting and laughing, while Li Jianguo was joking.

Because Xu Qing also gave Xu Jinbu an extra bun.

Xu Jinbu smiled happily.

Eat while walking.

"Dududududududu~~"

Just as everyone was going back with a smile, the trumpet sounded again, making everyone stand there. Zhao Gang stretched his head and looked back, and asked: "Hey, Yang Xiaole, what's wrong? Didn't we just have dinner?"

Yang Xiaole frowned. He naturally knew the reason.

He hurriedly said, "This is the call for an emergency assembly! Let's go back!"

Then he turned around and left again.

The others also heard Yang Xiaole's explanation and the anxious movements of the people nearby, and hurriedly followed.

really.

When I got back to the place, there were already people queuing there.

Yang Xiaole and his group naturally came to Meng Zhiyuan's side.

Start lining up!
After a while, Song Lin and Zhao Tao came over.

It was almost dusk.

Then Zhao Tao gathered his thoughts and began to speak: "Comrades, according to the order from the battalion headquarters, a "suspicious" person has appeared in the jurisdiction of our regiment. We must find this person. Now I order you, platoon leader."

"To!"

"Take a platoon of people and search the east. It's summer now and it just rained today. Be sure to be safe."

"Yes!"

"Second Platoon Leader!"

"To!"

"You lead the second row to the west..."

……

The four rows were divided into four directions, and the people ran away immediately.

After the others left, Zhao Tao said to Wang Qing, "The female educated youth from the fifth row don't need to go. The male educated youth from the sixth row, go search near the farmland."

Meng Zhiyuan immediately agreed: "Here!"

When Yang Xiaole heard that there was a mission, he thought it was from the other side and immediately became excited.

Good guy.

He has just arrived and has encountered an opportunity to make a contribution. He must not let others find him!

"Squad 1, squad 2, follow me! Go to the storehouse and get torches! Three of us each, one for each!"

With a shout, he quickly followed the other side in a certain direction.

It was those who had left before.

At this time, they were also holding a wooden stick torch, which was a ball of cloth on a wooden stick with traces of burning on it.

"Platoon leader, what's going on? Are there any enemies sneaking in?"

Zhao Gang asked him excitedly.

Meng Zhiyuan shook his head: "I don't know about this! Just go and find him, he may not be in our company!"

"Is our field big?"

"It's huge. There must be more than 3,000 acres of land!"

"Oh my god, it's so big? How can we find it? There are only 30 of us? Even 300 people can't find it all, right?"

Zhao Gang was surprised.

An acre of land is more than 600 square meters. Now that it is full of crops, it is very easy to hide a person.

If each person has one acre of land on average, some will be missed. People are not stupid!
I don’t know how to hide in the cornfield!

Hearing this, Meng Zhiyuan nodded: "Okay, let's go first! Don't waste time. If there is anything you don't know, we can talk about it after you get there."

After saying that, he left with his men.

Naturally, everyone followed behind.

Not far from the camp, we saw a green field of wheat that had already begun to ear.

At dusk, everyone saw the endless yellow-green wheat fields and the low corn fields in the distance.

Zhao Gang was stunned as he looked at the scene in front of him: "Platoon leader, there are so few of us, how can we find him? He won't even show up after we go in!"

Yang Xiaole looked at the scene in front of him and shook his head.

But it’s hard to find.

But he knew that once the troops gave the order, it had to be completed.

Sure enough, Meng Zhiyuan frowned and said, "First, divide into two classes, and keep everyone at a distance. Yang Xiaole!"

"To!"

"You lead the troops, put one person in each field, and arrange the people first! Two people in a group, move forward."

"it is good!!"

Yang Xiaole agreed and looked at Zhao Gang: "You stay in the first position, Sun Zhiyong, you stay with Zhao Gang, I will lead the others over."

Sun Zhiyong was also an educated youth from Harbin, so it was natural that he was easy to communicate with.

Hearing this arrangement, Sun Zhiyong agreed and stood next to Zhao Gang.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole began to arrange for other people.

The distance between fields here is not like in the countryside. Here they are very far apart. Each field is equivalent to a piece of field, and the distance is so long that you can't see the end of it.

After everything is arranged.

Through the message passed on over there, the torches have been moved forward.

We walked along and soon it was dark. Fortunately, we couldn’t see the end, so we could still walk to the end!
After reaching the end, Sun Zhiyong trotted over.

"Did you find anything? Was there anything suspicious? Did you notice whether the wheat was overwhelmed?"

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "No!"

Meng Zhiyuan was not surprised to hear him say this. After all, the company was not sure whether the other party was in this jurisdiction, but they had to obey the order.

Then he said: "Then keep searching!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and said, "Platoon Leader, how about...I act alone?"

"Alone?"

"Yes! Let Zhao Gang lead Class 1, and I'll go check nearby. The sound I can hear is still from quite far away, so this way the search will be more efficient."

Meng Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment after hearing this.

Others don’t know, but by then the veterans in the border defense company had been talking about this matter a lot.

He naturally knew that Yang Xiaole had his own unique abilities.

You can’t spread it anywhere else, but there are no restrictions here!
After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, you should be careful and show the wheat field. Sometimes there are swamps outside the wheat field, and you are not familiar with the terrain!"

"Well, okay, don't worry!"

Yang Xiaole agreed.

Then he ran to find Zhao Gang, explained the situation to him, and left quietly.

Light this torch and pretend to move forward.

"Hey, Li Jianguo! What is Yang Xiaole doing? Can he do it alone? Is he in danger?"

Zhao Gang watched Yang Xiaole running with a torch, and asked Li Jianguo worriedly.

Li Jianguo shook his head: "I don't know! How can he find it like this? He's just looking around!"

Zhao Gang pondered for a moment after hearing this.

In the end, I didn't care about it. Since the platoon leader allowed it, it should be fine.

Seeing that they were getting farther away, Yang Xiaole quietly placed the torch between the wheat field and the corn field, and quietly entered the space.

Then I started looking nearby.

In the dark, we searched all the nearby farmlands but still found nothing.

"Hey! Li Jianguo! Do you feel something is wrong?"

Xu Jinbu was young and always felt that the atmosphere around him was not right and a little eerie.

Li Jianguo looked around, swallowed his words, and then said: "Don't talk nonsense! You are superstitious, be careful when you go to the meeting..."

Looking at the other teams that were quite far away, I felt a little scared.

Yang Xiaole had searched the road they had walked along again, and then searched other places.

It would take a long time for these people to walk around this small area, but Yang Xiaole only finished the circle in a few minutes.

Make sure there is none in the field.

Stopped and looked around.

At this time, there was a faint glow of fire in the distance, which should be other teams.

After thinking it over, he did a quick search nearby, but his search wasn't very close.

Don't know where he went.

He was surprised to see a young man unconscious in a grass nest in a hole.

Is he the one you're looking for?

Is this the suspect?
Although he was curious, he had other thoughts in mind. He was wondering if this person was from another legion and couldn't stand the hardship.

Finally escaped.

This kind of person is too common.

There are so many educated youth, and there are all kinds of people.

At this time, the other party was already in a semi-comatose state.

"Forehead?"

When Yang Xiaole saw the educated youth certificate in the other person's arms, he was surprised.

This is the certificate for working in the mountains near Sijiu City!
Why are you here?
Is he visiting relatives?

Zhao Tao hadn't mentioned the name before, so he didn't know if this was the person he was looking for.

Never mind. While the other party was unconscious, I quickly threw him into the space and fed him some well water.

Ran quickly back to the cornfield.

Is this a suspicious person?

This made Yang Xiaole shake his head.
