Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 604, the opportunity to make a contribution has come.

A group of people went to the water pool to fetch water to wash clothes.

Of course, someone would wash Yang Xiaole's clothes, and he was there to supervise.

At this time, a group of people were busy here in Shuipaozi.

"Hey! Don't come over here. You're already a grown-up, you've joined the army, and you still want your sister to wash your clothes! That's too embarrassing!"

Yang Xiaole looked at Xu Min coming over and stopped him with a smile.

Xu Jinbu raised his head when he heard this: "Yes, Comrade Xu Min, I am an adult now, don't treat me like a child."

Xu Min rolled her eyes at the two of them when she heard that.

He said to Yang Xiaole, "I know. After what happened last time, I have reflected deeply. I am not here to wash his clothes. I am here to teach him how to wash. This is fine, right?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole shook his head: "No! If he can't wash it clean, he will wear the dirty one. He will know it slowly. Everyone has to have a first time! Be brave to try!"

Xu Min laughed when he heard that, looked at him and said, "You are the only one who is so poor. Well, I won't go. I want to see what kind of troops you can lead. Humph."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Hey, sister! He won't wash it, please help me wash it!"

Zhang Xuesong was joking there.

"Get out of here!" This earned him a cold look from Xu Jinbu.

Seeing this, everyone laughed happily.

Yang Xiaole looked at these people. This era was not as bombarded with information as in later generations, and thoughts were not as complicated.

A little thing can make people happy for a long time.

It is said that when men and women work together, the work will not be tiring.

Dozens of people were laughing here. As for the veterans, they were not here. Washing clothes was divided into time periods, one row at a time.

While everyone was chatting, the clothes were washed and everyone returned to the dormitory.

I wasn't completely idle in the afternoon either, as Meng Zhiyuan came over.

"Yang Xiaole~"

"To!"

"I will take people to the warehouse to get a batch of sickles. We are soldiers of the Corps. In wartime, we must be able to carry guns to fight the enemy. In our spare time, we must also be able to go to the fields to plant crops and produce more food to support national construction.

I will teach you how to sharpen the sickle later. When you do farm work, the sickle will be your gun."

Meng Zhiyuan was talking there.

Yang Xiaole nodded: "Okay, I'll take people there in a while."

"Platoon leader, when can we shoot?"

Xu Jinbu was asking there.

There is a gun but no bullets, how can we not be anxious!

Meng Zhiyuan looked at him and smiled, "Don't worry. According to the regulations, we can only practice shooting after completing basic training, which is one or two months later. But this is a special place, and we must always be vigilant against communism, so the regiment allows us to practice shooting once a week! We will practice shooting next Saturday!"

Everyone was delighted to hear this.

"Okay, go get the sickle! We have a company meeting at five o'clock! Yang Xiaole, you get ready in a while."

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly when he heard this.

Agree.

"Captain, can you give me some 666 powder? There are so many fleas in our company! My body is itchy as hell."

Liu Bing from Shanghai Stock Exchange was asking questions there.

Of course, the same situation applies to others.

We are all city people, so naturally there were not so many fleas when we first came here, but they have been there ever since we arrived.

This is the biggest challenge coming here.

Meng Zhiyuan said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do about it. You have to experience it. You'll get used to it after a while. How about this! I'll talk to the quartermaster and buy you some 666 powder from the regiment headquarters. Then bring it back and sprinkle it on the bed to kill the fleas."

After hearing this, everyone agreed.

Then a group of people rushed towards the warehouse, jokingly.

Each of them took a sickle and started sharpening it.

This is also an essential skill for the Production and Construction Corps.

About ten minutes before five o'clock, as the horn sounded, everyone came to the company.

At this time, the company had rebuilt the podium and the banners around it were ready.

Yang Xiaole had arrived at the company headquarters in advance and saw that several company leaders were there, so he greeted them.

"Company commander, instructor..."

Zhao Tao looked at him and handed him a speech script: "This is your speech script this time. Remember to read it when you go on stage. When you go to the province to give a speech in the future, the Corps will prepare a speech script for you. It would be best if you can speak without a script."

Yang Xiaole took it and asked, "Didn't you tell me to prepare it myself?"

Zhao Tao looked at him and said with a smile: "Well, you have to prepare as well. The Corps will also make revisions based on your speech."

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly.

Took a quick look.

What happened naturally happened that day.

Overall there is not much difference.

However, the assault turned into a dangerous situation on the battlefield. In the critical moment, Yang Xiaole ignored his own danger and rushed forward.

Gained a chance for victory for everyone.

Of course, there are some slogans in it, and you know what they are without having to say anything.

These are slogans that can be published in books.

Yang Xiaole felt a little embarrassed after watching this, and suddenly felt very great.

Of course, he could understand the reason, which was naturally for the purpose of publicity.

I need to let others hear it, there is a sense of danger and tension, a sense of self-sacrifice and a noble mission...

"You are also an educated youth, so you should be able to read it fluently, right? Remember to pay attention to your emotions, do you hear me?"

Zhao Tao was there supervising.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded.

There is definitely no problem with this!

If necessary, he could make the people in the audience cry.

Zhao Tao nodded slightly and looked at Wei Zhiyong beside him: "Comrade Wei Zhiyong, put the big red flower on Comrade Yang Xiaole. It will start soon. Let's go first."

Wei Zhiyong held a big red flower in his hand, but he felt uncomfortable.

But there is no way.

He cannot destroy "unity" at this time.

He agreed, walked over with the big red flower and saluted.

This time I won't leave any handle for anyone.

Yang Xiaole naturally responded.

He let Wei Zhiyong put a big red flower on his head, and after the two of them saluted in return, that was the end.

Yang Xiaole was not idle either, looking for things to do.

He doesn't take people like this seriously.

"Okay, go back first! We'll be there soon."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole naturally left.

When he arrived at the company, everyone was looking at him.

He went straight to the small stool next to Xu Jinbu and sat down.

"Hey, squad leader! You are in the limelight now! The whole corps will be notified!"

Yang Xiaole looked at him and smiled indifferently: "I paid for it with my life!"

Hearing this, Xu Jinbu nodded in approval.

When they saw the company leader coming, they all shut up.

The scene was very quiet.

The person who spoke about this matter was naturally instructor Zhao Tao.

"Comrades, Comrade Mao Zedong once said that we want peace, but if communism wants to go to war, we have no choice but to make up our minds..."

The first thing to do is naturally to give a report on my thoughts.

Then he went on stage to give a speech amid warm applause.

After Yang Xiaole came up, looking at the admiring eyes below, he felt like a temporary movie star.

Giving an impassioned speech.

The old soldiers were fine, but the educated youth were almost in tears.

The speech ended with the applause of the crowd.

And now it's time to eat.

Amid the cries of the crowd, he hurried back to get his lunch box and rushed to the cafeteria.

Eat meat!

In these days, even being in the city was a big deal and no one would be late.

Everyone also got to eat the pork they had been craving for.

This time the company is not so stingy.

It’s not that the quartermaster was reluctant to do so, but because salt was limited in quantity and there was not enough salt for pickling.

Pig offal and pork were mixed together, giving everyone a full meal.

The rest was pickled with salt and saved for the Army Day on August 1st.

……

Everyone was basically full.

"Squad leader, next time you go see if you can hunt another wild boar, the meat is so delicious."

After Xu Jinbu came back, he asked him with a smile.

Yang Xiaole looked at him and smiled: "You are dreaming!"

He didn't care, the problem was there were wild boars nearby, and there was a limit to that.

But I ate really full today. After all, the meat yield of such a big pig is very high.

The food will not be too bad in the next few days.

As long as there are bones and other things, you can make soup...

"Hey, squad leader, this is such a pity. If you had joined the army earlier, this would have been enough for you to be promoted three times at once."

Zhang Xuesong held an enamel jar with a reward from Yang Xiaole in his hand and said to him.

Yang Xiaole naturally understood what he meant.

If you have made meritorious contributions in the army during wartime, as long as you have a third-class merit, you can be promoted in advance. Now that this system is no longer in place, your salary and benefits can be increased.

The allowance was increased from 6 yuan to 7 yuan.

As for the second-class merit and first-class merit, there is naturally no problem and they can also be promoted in advance.

I really don’t care about this. After all, the allowance is only 10 yuan in the fifth year.

But with this, he took a step towards promotion earlier than others.

Then she smiled at him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Zhang Xuesong nodded. He now admired Yang Xiaole very much. Not everyone could win first-class merit.

Holiday time is always short.

The day ended like that.

Starting from the second day, everyone began the painful physical training, which was also something that all recruits had to go through.

Once your physical fitness is maintained at a certain level, it will not be so painful.

After more than ten days, people gradually adapted to the rhythm of the recruit period, although it was still just as painful.

"No! I really don't want to move. I've already met the standards."

After lunch in the afternoon, Xu Jinbu lay there and didn't want to move at all.

Yang Xiaole lifted his buttocks and said, "Get down. You are not allowed to sleep until you finish your physical exercise."

The intensity of training during this period was very high.

But as a squad leader, Yang Xiaole naturally cannot let the soldiers under his command be too weak.

These guys have drunk a lot of well water in the past few dozen days.

The time is too short and everyone's progress is different.

Logically speaking, it would be good enough for Xu Jinbu to pass the test, as he was the most among these people. At the same time, the others naturally made their own progress.

But Xu Jinbu is still the worst in the class.

But this guy is also very hardworking. Yang Xiaole forces him to take a break at noon and have extra meals at night to make up for his weaknesses!

Xu Jinbu wailed when he heard this!
But he dared not disobey Yang Xiaole's words!
He is the class monitor!
I turned over, lay on the kang, and started doing push-ups.

"Liu Bing~~"

Yang Xiaole looked at Liu Bing beside him.

The other party also climbed up in disappointment.

Fifty push-ups, and within a time limit.

"Zhang Xuesong, let's compete again in the afternoon!"

While thinking, Zhao Gang challenged Zhang Xuesong.

Zhao Gang has been working very hard during this period, but there is no other way. After Zhang Xuesong came, he felt that his position as deputy monitor was in jeopardy.

Now I feel that I have made great progress.

Got to get back the place.

Even if I lose, it can't be as drastically different from Yang Xiaole, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

There's no way, I've been like a nobody during this period of time.

Zhang Xuesong looked at him and said with a smile, "Okay, deputy monitor, let's have a competition this afternoon. The loser has to wash his socks!"

Damn, I can’t even remember how many times I lost in the past ten days.

Anyway, he had bought all the socks and clothes for Yang Xiaole for a year.

At one point he suspected that Yang Xiaole was playing the pig to eat the tiger, and recently he has not dared to challenge him.

Now that someone has come out, he is naturally happy.

This made Zhao Gang embarrassed for a moment because he didn't have the confidence.

After thinking about it, he agreed.

"Okay, one month is enough!"

Amid the laughter of the crowd, the decision was finally made.

"Hey, squad leader! What's going on with the company? I see a lot of people loading wagons and stuff over at the logistics warehouse! They seem to be in a hurry!"

While I was thinking, Li Jianguo came back from outside.

Yang Xiaole shook his head when he heard this: "I don't know! Maybe he was transporting things to the group!"

This regimental headquarters refers to the old regimental headquarters, not the regimental command headquarters that moved into the mountains.

Because there are a lot of infrastructure at the old regiment headquarters, the regiment’s shops, flour mills, warehouses, etc. are still there and have not moved, and will not move in the future.

If the company needs supplies, they go to the regiment headquarters to get them.

When they needed to exchange food, they would go there with flour or corn to exchange for the milled food.

Li Jianguo muttered, "When can we go to the regiment headquarters? Even if we want to buy some things, that's fine!"

I have been here for about three weeks and the fresh feeling I had when I first arrived is gone.

After all, they are all young people.

There is not even a place to play. Even on weekends, there are always things to plan, which makes these young people feel very anxious.

"Dudududu~"

Just as everyone was about to speak, a horn sounded.

Yang Xiaole was stunned for a moment, then he shouted: "Quick, emergency assembly, something happened, hurry!"

Others may not hear the difference.

But Yang Xiaole could tell clearly that it was an emergency assembly.

And it was an emergency assembly during wartime.

Something must have happened.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then they reacted immediately.

I hurriedly started packing my bags.

Fortunately, due to the special geographical location here, emergency assemblies have been held several times during this period.

Otherwise, there will really be trouble.

Although not as neat and tidy as the veteran, at least it's not like before when he wore everything wrong.

Those who go to the toilet just wipe their butt and run back.

In a panic, everyone packed up their things, and Yang Xiaole even reminded some of them.

During special times, we can't let down our guard.

He took his belongings, put his guns in order, and ran toward the square.

At this time, the entire company began to operate like a machine.

When they arrived at the place, they saw the serious Song Lin, Zhao Tao and others waiting on the earthen platform.

Because of the rest time, many people are not in the dormitory, which results in some people coming earlier and some coming later, not only the new recruits but also the old soldiers.

They came in small groups.

At this time, Meng Zhiyuan had already carried a box of bullets over and distributed them to everyone.

Yang Xiaole didn't ask, knowing that something must have happened.

Bullets were distributed to everyone in an orderly manner, thirty bullets per person.

This number is already very large.

We didn't have to wait too long, people gradually arrived.

"Everyone, stand at attention, at ease, stand at attention~"

The one who spoke this time was Song Lin.

After he finished shouting, he said seriously: "Comrades, ***'s selfless heart will never die. By the river...Comrades, can we agree to this?"

"cannot!"

Naturally, there was a resounding response from below.

"Okay! Everyone, listen up. Target..."
