The Prosperous Years of Siheyuan

Chapter 183
Chen Jisheng and his eldest sister were very lucky. They walked for half the morning, almost ten kilometers.

We met a carriage, and it was a carriage delivering fruit to the border outpost.

At border outposts, supplies are generally rationed by the troops, and some vegetables and fruits can be purchased.

Because it is a border outpost, there are no large villages or communes around, and most of the vegetables are self-sufficient.

Fruits are occasionally delivered. Chen Jisheng was lucky enough to meet a carriage delivering fruits.

There were a few black watermelons left in the car, which was Chen Jisheng's evidence.

"What are you doing?"

Looking at the [-] big cover behind the coachman, Chen Jisheng knew that he and his eldest sister had benefited from the military uniforms.

Otherwise, it would not be asking questions and greetings, but asking questions with the [-] big cover on top.

Most of the border residents, regardless of gender or age, were militiamen, except of course those who were too old or too young.

"Man, you can do it! Go to the outpost!

Bring along a child?Try something new! "

As he spoke, Chen Jisheng took out more than half of the box of Camel and foreign cigarettes from his pocket. The more questions he had, the more people he saw.

"You foreigner, you're not bad, get in the car..."

Most of the boxes of camels are not paid for travel, which is really a taste.

At this time, the fish and water situation between the army and the people is very good, and if you don't give anything, you will send it over.

Given something, the natural treatment is different.

The driver pulled out his bayonet from behind and split a black-skinned watermelon for the two of them. The flesh of the melon was a bit white, so it must have been a picked raw melon.

"Don't be too embarrassed, these are the only ones left..."

The quality of the melon was not good, and the driver also explained that although it was not very sweet, it was enough to quench thirst.

After splitting the watermelon, the coachman carefully stuffed most of the box of camels into a gap in the carriage.

Apparently this was a favorite place for the coachman to hide his things.

Giving the watermelon can be regarded as completing the barter transaction.

Now the atmosphere in the villages and communes below is different from that in the city, as if you have to hide foreign cigarettes.

The coachman was very cautious and didn't say a word except for coughing a few times along the way.

On the way, the eldest sister Gu Yizhou wanted to lighten the atmosphere and asked, "How old is the uncle?"

But he was ignored. Even the two people in the car were embarrassed and said nothing, only communicating with their eyes.

Fortunately, the road was not far away. It was almost past lunch time and the outline of the outpost was already in sight.

The three of them ate two melons along the way, and it was obvious that the driver had a lot of thought in picking the melons.

Unlike the two who ate the melon and left the skin on, the coachman ate the melon skin, leaving only a thin layer of black and green rind.

After being reminded by Chen Jisheng, the eldest sister Gu Yizhou, like the little heartless man, also put the finished melon rinds in the car.

Moreover, the two of them tried to eat as little as possible. Although they split two melons, they ate less than half.

"Master, let's go in and have a meal together?"

When he arrived at the gate of the outpost, Chen Jisheng got off the car and invited the driver.

"No, I can still make a living when I go back..."

After saying that, the coachman whipped his whip, and the carriage turned around and drove away.

In rural areas, "leaving rice" is just a polite word. If someone's family is not rich in food and is not a real relative, who would dare to leave rice?

Looking at the carriage going away, Chen Jisheng sighed. He couldn't change this. The melon rinds on the carriage might be eaten in the evening.

He showed his ID at the gate of the outpost and said Gu Lei's name.

Unlike the strict discipline of the General Post Office, after the sentry greeted them, a soldier led two people into the sentry post.

In addition to the bungalows and walls, the most conspicuous thing about the outpost is the two outpost towers along the river.

Similar to a lighthouse, it is built of watermelon-sized pebbles.

The top is a wooden lookout, and the size of the wood is staggering.

Following the soldiers in front, Chen Jisheng carried large and small bags and walked all the way to the training ground behind the outpost.

In the field, a young man holding two sticks was loudly scolding the soldiers standing in a military posture.

"This is shameful and courageous..."

The one holding the stick is probably Gu Lei. Looking at the number of people on the training field, this one is pretty good, the platoon leader.

The front line needs seniority, the company commander is mostly 27, the platoon leader is 23, and Gu Lei's age is not considered backward.

My eldest brother Chen Jinsheng is still hanging around in the deputy platoon position, and he is already very motivated.

Chen Jisheng put down his luggage and stood aside with his eldest sister, stopping the soldiers who were about to report.

Watching Gu Lei's performance from the side, initially it seemed that this brother-in-law was in good spirits, much more energetic than Gu Tingying.

Troop training now also has requirements and outlines.

However, the freedom of additional training at noon was much greater. In a short time, Gu Lei turned the training ground into a martial arts training ground.

Gu Lei's hand skills were not very good, and he was taught the simplest Changquan, which was completely routine.

This thing only looks good, but if you really want to use it for fighting, you have to eat a lot of it before you can figure out how to use it.

"Ji Sheng, how is Xiao Lei's teaching?"

Seeing his younger brother's heroic appearance, Gu Yizhou was very proud. The second brother Gu Lei was much better than the third brother Gu Ting.

At least he wasn't scared, he couldn't get out of the line of fire with minor injuries, and his voice was loud and clear, not affected by the injury at all.

"Hum..."

Because there were soldiers present, Chen Jisheng didn't say much, just sneered.

"Just say something..."

Listening to the little heartless man's sneer, Gu Yizhou knew there was a problem, but she couldn't see what the problem was.

Chen Jisheng did not answer the eldest sister's question, but just glanced at the warrior in front of him.

Seeing the look in the little heartless man's eyes, Gu Yizhou didn't ask any questions and just watched silently.

The two of them stood there for an hour. Wearing military uniforms at the outpost barracks, they naturally couldn't slack off.

Although the Northeast is cool, the midday sun is also very strong, and Gu Yizhou's back is already stained with sweat.

Chen Jisheng was stronger, but his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Disband!" With the sound of dismissal, Gu Lei walked towards the two of them naturally.

Seeing Gu Lei coming, he followed the soldiers who were standing in military posture and then left quietly.

"This kid is so mean! How can he still teach others what he has done?

If you can really teach boxing, you won't break your leg.

But your second child is really good. The label of knowing one's shame and then being brave was given by the leader.

This is also called perseverance and becoming more courageous with every setback, which are exactly the qualities a warrior needs.

With the evaluation of the general, I will be joining the deputy company by the end of the year.

I'm here, and the last few months have been pretty much the same. "

After the soldier left, Chen Jisheng also spoke, and Gu Yizhou turned his attention from his younger brother to the little heartless man in surprise.

"Sister, why are you here? This is..."

Seeing the eldest sister looking at him for a while and then turning to look at the young man next to him, Gu Lei said hello directly.

"Gu Lei, come on, come on...

Be good, call brother-in-law to come and listen, brother-in-law is here to avenge you! "

Chen Jisheng's teasing made Gu Yizhou narrow his eyes. The unruly look of the little heartless man was also very nice to see.

"sister?"

Brother-in-law, Gu Lei doesn't dare to scream nonsense. The eldest sister has always been dignified at home, and Gu Lei is still in awe of her.

"If you tell me to call you, you can call me. I spend a little bit of my brain all day playing tricks."

Gu Yizhou was not polite to his younger brother at home. He would hit him when he needed to be beaten and scold him when he needed to be scolded.

"Brother-in-law!"

Looking at Chen Jisheng, Gu Lei felt vaguely impressed, but not very impressed. He knew that he should be a disciple of the courtyard.

Since the eldest sister nodded, Gu Lei also called his brother-in-law.

"Get to know me, my name is Chen Jisheng, the third younger brother of Chen Baohong you miss, will soon be your brother-in-law!"

Upon hearing Chen Jisheng's self-introduction, Gu Lei did not get as angry as Gu Ting, but looked at the eldest sister.

"That's what he said, dad said, he avenged you, he is my man.

You and Baohong, we have different opinions. "

When he said this, Gu Yizhou's face was a little blushing, although he didn't follow the rules very much now.

But such a relationship is messy enough, and he might become a stumbling block for Gu Lei in the future.

"You must be Chen Sanhuzi, the invincible opponent in the compound back then..."

Chen Jisheng announced his family name, and then Gu Lei remembered where his vague impression came from.

The cheap brother-in-law was also a popular figure in the compound at that time. At the age of fifteen, he almost beat up all the naughty kids under [-] in the compound.

And there is no restriction on men and women. If you look wrong, you will be a big mouth.

I was also old back then, and I wasn't among the brats, so I haven't met this courtyard cleaner a few times.

"It's just a little name...

Gu Lei, tell me, what is your attitude towards my second sister Chen Baohong?

Think about it first, otherwise I won't be able to use your crutches! "

Chen Jisheng also accepted Gu Lei's praise calmly. He was invincible and a good title.

This was just pleasantries. When it came to serious matters about the second sister, Chen Jisheng was much more serious, and he didn't care about the big sister's eyes.

He asked clearly. If Gu Lei dared to say it, even if it was for fun, his other leg would have to be broken.

Here, as long as Lao Gu didn't break Gu Lei's leg in front of his face, it would be a trivial matter.

It's just that he will be scolded by Lao Zhong when he goes back. Since he is not a soldier, he will not be punished.

As for Gu Lei, he could only be the unlucky one, probably because he accidentally broke it.

“Baohong is good-looking and well-educated, I like her very much, and my dad also agrees.

Now I have just reached the age of marriage, and I can just take advantage of my injury and marry Baohong. "

Gu Lei's answer was obviously well thought out. It seems that he and Lao Gu have exchanged letters recently.

Otherwise, even if he had made a phone call, Chen Jisheng would have been satisfied with this answer.

As for the second sister, we are in such an era now, although there are not many arranged marriages anymore.

But many people only meet each other a few times before getting married, and more people get married after meeting each other once.

As for romance in college, Chen Jisheng still said that when the disaster comes, they will both fly away.

Chen Jisheng would not approve of the second sister's ignorant partner in school, no matter what his character was.

Once it comes to defining identities and drawing boundaries, no matter who the person is, it will be a tragedy for the second sister.

As for Gu Lei, the meeting just now is enough, and the scheming is enough. As long as he can protect his second sister, everything can be compromised.

"Okay! This time you come back with me and we get married together.

Talk about the legs, I'll avenge you. "

The matter is settled, so there is no need to say threats. Gu Lei is scheming, he is clear, and he will not treat the second sister harshly.

If he really dared to treat him harshly, there would be plenty of people to deal with Gu Lei, and there would be no need for Chen Jisheng to take action.

The eldest sister is enough for him to have a good drink. This is the second sister's best friend.

"There is a bear over there at Maozi. He is over 1.9 meters tall and almost [-] meters tall. He is blind in one eye.

Not only was this guy extremely powerful, but he was also extremely agile. Even seven or eight warriors were no match for him.

Also, he is very durable, even if a cannon hammer hit his eye socket, it would be no big deal.

I asked him to break my legs because I used them to lift them.

This big guy, about 30 years old, came from the battlefield. "

After listening to Gu Lei's words, Chen Jisheng understood that this was a master at the level of a professional athlete.

Don't underestimate professional athletes. Their physical strength, endurance, and explosive power are far beyond ordinary people.

This big guy is almost like an NBA athlete, with excellent strength and agility.

And coming from the battlefield, he is definitely a master in bare-handed combat, and he is also a difficult opponent to face.
