Chapter 2794 Fantasy of the future

"These are all small things, so it's no big deal?"

"The big thing is blind dates. For ordinary people, that's the big thing." Tan Shuangxi said.

"If you hit the target, pass!"

"How can it be so fast!" Tan Shuangxi shook his head, "Let's talk about whether we are compatible first, and then talk about the betrothal gift. There are many tricks here."

"It's harder to get a wife than to get the first prize!"

"It's much better now than in the past two years. There are more women than before, and the bride price has also come down."

There are a lot of bachelors in the army who can't stop talking about women. Speaking of which, everyone wants to find a wife, but the price of marriage is beyond the reach of most people.

"It would be great if we could retire in Guangdong. When we were in Shaoguan, the young girls and young wives around the station were all interested in us, and some people came to ask if they would like to stay. Alas!"

The speaker seemed to feel very sorry for it.

"Why don't you just stay?"

"Wouldn't he become a deserter if he stayed? If he were caught, he would be shot! But he is really brave! There was a soldier from the joint service who ran away with the woman. We all started to look for it. After a month of searching, there was still no whereabouts. We took advantage of this guy! "

"What's the bargain? I've given up my status as a soldier for a wife. I don't care about it. It's so happy to be a soldier, and you'll have a good place to go after you retire. Isn't it better than being someone's son-in-law?"

"That's right. Even if you retire from the army, you will have a good future. Wouldn't it be nice to buy a family property with the retirement payment?"

"If there is another war in the future, will you still be a soldier?"

"You will definitely get it if you recruit. If we don't beat away the officers, soldiers and bandits, it will be your turn to eat rice and rice. Besides, do you dare to come to the recruitment? Do you want to be a non-citizen?" said the horse sergeant. He put his military cap on the soldier's head and said, "From now on, this team will depend on you."

Seeing that the topic was brought back, Tan Shuangxi glared at the soldier who didn't open his eyes, and then continued to interrupt. "Bopu has already become a fishery cooperative. If you don't want to join the cooperative, are you going to go it alone?" Fu Bojun is familiar with the organization of industrial and agricultural production because he often supports agriculture and workers.

"The cooperative was only joined by poor people who couldn't afford a boat. My family has not yet reached that level of poverty." Ma Shi said quite proudly. "My family and several uncles all own boats. Last time we sold our boats and bought a large fishing boat together. It is a longline fishing boat made in Hong Kong. At night, hundreds of hooks are lowered and towed, and we can catch fish in one night. There are hundreds of big fish. There is an ice tank below, and a boatload of ice is loaded into it. When the fish are caught, they will be unloaded in the ice tank. "Looking at everyone gathered around, they listened attentively. The sergeant couldn't help but feel proud and continued to brag, "The quality of the fish caught by the rope is much better than that caught by the net. When it comes to the fish market, it is rated as top quality and can be sold at a high price. It is much more profitable than pulling the net by a small boat." He He was frothing at the mouth, "Let's just say that last time they went fishing for tuna, they were all over three feet long. When they got back to the dock, they cut them straight. The fish meat was just like the best beef, dark red. No need to do it. Cut off a piece with a knife and eat it directly, what a taste..." Everyone swallowed involuntarily.

"Is it similar to Shunde Yusheng?"

Ma Shi rolled his eyes at him, "All the chiefs like to eat this kind of fish! The best tuna is bought by Room 39 of the Fishery Corporation."

Room 39 of the fishing company is under the jurisdiction of the general office, and it is self-evident where the goods it purchases go.

"Dip some light soy sauce and a little grated mustard. It tastes as oily as beef and as fresh and elastic as sea shrimp..."

This description made everyone's mouth water. I wish I could eat it early to satisfy my cravings

"...There is a Japanese fish shop called 'Ba' in Dongmen City. The owner's name is Shota Kuchi. I heard somewhere that business in Hainan Island is easy, so I went to Dongmen City to open a shop. He specializes in selling fish and fish. He often comes in and buys my products. He is very picky and brags that he is a 'fairy'..."

"Immortal? What kind of immortal is he? A fish-cutting immortal?"

"It's hard to say whether it's immortal or not, but the craftsmanship is indeed good." Ma Shi boasted to his customers.

"Since I've been to sea several times, aren't you missing on the ship?" Tan Shuangxi asked curiously.

"Of course there is no shortage of fishermen. The elders plan to use the money they earn plus loans to open a fishing company and buy two boats. The problem is that if you set up a company, you have to deal with the Yamen - as you know, they are always old The seniors are most afraid of seeing officials, even the 'cadres' of the Senate, so they urged me to retire and go back."

"I thought you were going back to be a fisherman, but I didn't expect you to be a big boss!" Someone was quite envious.

"Hey, you can't be called a boss, but he's also a fisherman." Ma Shi immediately became very humble. Tan Shuangxi originally thought that Ma Shi was just an honest man, but he didn't expect that this honest man was quite capable. Soldiers all wear the same uniform when they are paid and paid, so there seems to be no difference. When it comes to retirement, everyone is different.

My family is not poor either. His family background is above average in the company. But compared with the horse sergeant, it is obviously not good enough. After all, my family is just digging in the dirt.

Just when I was feeling a little melancholy, suddenly a sharp whistle came from the hatch, followed by the loud voice of the sentry: "Salute to...sir...!"

As this sound came into the cabin, the company commander, platoon leader, and squad leader immediately bounced up like springs, shouting loudly: "Everyone gather!" Everyone reacted in an instant, jumped out of bed and stood up straight.

The grille door of the upper deck opened, and three neatly dressed figures came down the stairs. Their faces could not be seen clearly due to the backlight. But it looks like it should be Battalion Commander Lin Fu. Tan Shuangxi stood barefoot beside the bed, stood at attention and saluted, "Report to the Major! The company and platoon are resting, please give instructions."

"Take a break!" Lin Fu approached the narrow corridor, and the nearby soldiers quickly retreated to make way for him. Lin Fu walked around the cabin to confirm that there were no prohibited activities, and quickly issued an order:

"Everyone will sort out the internal affairs and land at Bopu Port for a short rest after breakfast. After lunch, the whole battalion will march back to Majiaobao and stay on the ship in Zichong."

After Lin Fu gave the order to the company commanders, he turned around and left the cabin. The moment he got out of the cabin door, many soldiers heard him laughing to himself, "It's still dipped in soy sauce."

After the battalion commander left, the entire cabin became busy. Everyone was busy doing personal hygiene while joking about the sergeant, "Just think of it, eat fish without dipping it in vinegar or soy sauce."

The horse sergeant was very dissatisfied and argued: "The battalion commander must have never eaten it. All the commanders eat like this!"

At this time, another order came, the deck was opened, and each company could go on the deck to wash and freshen.

There was a small cheer in the cabin immediately. Because of the bad sea conditions, they had not been on the deck for two days, and they were all exhausted.

People scrambled to put on their clothes and shoes and get on the deck with toiletries.

The weather outside is great. Although there is still a thin mist floating in the distance, the sea is clear and green. The slightly salty breeze blows across the deck of the T800, washing the bodies of the soldiers and expanding their hearts. Like it's been washed.

Hundreds of ship's ropes were shaking in the wind, making creaking noises, because not all the sails in the wind direction were hung up, but the dozens of meters high masts and the thousands of square meters of sails hung on them were in the air. The soldiers still seemed to be a formidable presence.

There were already many people on the deck, most of them wearing the standard white undershirts worn for sleeping. Some people washed their faces with wet towels poured out by spoonfuls of hot water from the chief planner. Some people had toothbrushes stuck in their mouths, and white foam came from the corners of their mouths. It keeps flowing down.

There were people squatting on the crossbars set up on both sides of the ship. They all took off their pants and pulled the ropes to think about life. This peculiar and convenient mode can only be carried out when the weather is fine. Tan Shuangxi thought it smelled bad, so he squeezed all the way to the bow of the boat before starting to brush his teeth.

There is no restriction on the use of fresh water on the ship - after all, it is a coastal voyage, but there are many people, and many times they cannot go on the deck. Many soldiers simply do not brush their teeth or wash their faces, and chew gum every day as an alternative. Tan Shuangxi also made do with it for two days. Today he had to clean himself well no matter what.

The entire fleet can be seen from the bow: three T800s and three escorting single-masted patrol boats, advancing through the waves. The masts are like forests and the sails are like clouds. Just looking at it makes you feel very majestic and majestic.

"Rumble..."

Suddenly, there was a sound of cannons in the distance, and then, there was the sound of cannons one after another.

The soldiers on the deck couldn't help but were stunned: This place was already close to Lingao, and the Qiongzhou Strait had long been ruled by the Senate. How could such a blind thief come here to seek death?

"It's a salute!" Xiao Liu, the messenger from the battalion headquarters, was well-informed and heard something from the rhythmic sound of gunfire. "It's the navy coming to greet us!"

As the ship moved forward, the fog gradually dissipated, and a row of blurry bow outlines could be seen in the distance, as well as rows of mast tops further away. Most of the army soldiers had never seen this kind of posture. They all stood silently, staring straight ahead. The deck was silent, and they could hear the waves crashing against the side of the ship, and the sound of the morning star flag on the bow of the ship.

Suddenly, the sun tore a hole in the clouds, golden sunlight immediately enveloped the ocean, and the sea fog disappeared almost instantly. More than a dozen single patrol boats were approaching in a column, their sails and rafts were like a forest, and they were imposing. The morning star flag at the top of the mast flies high.

The patrol boat fired a salute as it moved forward, and the convoy ships also began to fire salutes. The rumbling sound of artillery resounded over the Qiongzhou Strait, and clouds of thick white smoke filled the air. The soldiers cheered together.

The sailor standing at the top of the mast suddenly shouted loudly to Lin Fu on the bridge: "Major! The Qiongzhou Strait detachment has sent you a semaphore!"

He stared at the ship coming from the opposite side and shouted out word by word, "The Navy Channel Detachment salutes the heroic Army soldiers and welcomes home."
