Chapter 1244: Squad Leader Xiao Being Whipped

After passing Baokun, the train started heading straight south.

After leaving the Guanzhong Plain, the scene of fields covered with snow gradually disappeared.

The Tianfu Basin, surrounded by high mountains, is even warmer. Here, you can take off your military coats.

Li Nan, who returned to Chengdu, was still a little uncomfortable, but Liu Feng felt much more comfortable. The north was still a little too cold for him.

The snow in the military compound had long since disappeared, and the two men were warmly welcomed when they arrived at the logistics department.

"Report, Liu Feng, Li Nan, successfully completed the mission, request to return to the team, please give instructions~!"

"What else do you want to tell me? You've worked hard and lived up to everyone's expectations. Well done~!"

Even though it had already been confirmed by the higher-ups, the head of the logistics department still took the trouble to shake hands cordially with the two young heroes who had returned to report.

In any case, this time, Chengdu surpassed Huijing and the logistics department of the Fengtian Military Region and took the lead, which is a good thing for Chengdu.

Of course, they were worthy of being selected by Mr. Chen himself. After the two of them put on their new military uniforms, they were a beautiful scenery wherever they went.

"Thank you for the instructions, Liu Feng, Li Nan, please return to the team~!"

"Go ahead and change your clothes. We'll send a car to take you back later~!"

The original military uniforms that the two men had taken off were returned to the showroom. The two men watched with their own eyes as the military uniforms they had worn were placed on the shelves in the showroom.

From beginning to end, neither of them saw Mr. Chen again.

Maybe to him, this military uniform was just another set of clothes designed for his master in his life. However, to the two soldiers, it was an indelible mark in their lives.

"Please give this to Mr. Chen~!"

Two packs of roast duck, one bought by Li Nan and one bought by Liu Feng. They were not used with the funds for going out, but were the allowances for two people.

In fact, Liu Feng didn't know how to thank Mr. Chen. He knew how important a third-class merit was to a military career. If, if it hadn't been given to the two of them, the old man might have been awarded a second-class merit.

The two men who came out of the logistics department put on the Type 55 uniforms again, but their anticipation for the new Type 65 uniforms had already sprouted in their hearts since they took them off.

In the art troupe, once the New Year is over, or to be more precise, during the New Year period, they keep going out to perform for the benefit of the people.

There were not many people left in the row of dormitories, but Xiao Suizi stayed in the dormitory.

"Crunch~!"

The door was gently pushed open. Xiao Suizi, who was sitting at the table, turned slightly and put down the pen in her hand when she saw Li Nan coming in.

"Hey, Li Nan, you're back~!"

"Captain Xiao, I miss you so much~!"

Putting down the things in his hands, Li Nan rushed directly to Xiao Suizi and hugged her. This enthusiasm caught Team Leader Xiao off guard. If someone didn't know, they would have thought that the two hadn't seen each other for several years.

"What happened to your hand? Is it hurt?"

After Li Nan finished his mischief, Xiao Suizi also saw the bandage on Li Nan's hand. A trace of heartache flashed across her face, and she thought the injury was serious.

"It's okay. I got scratched by a rock while climbing the tactical track. It's a small cut. Look what I brought back. Dangdangdangdang~!"

Li Nan picked up the roast duck wrapped in oil paper and slid it across Squad Leader Xiao's nose as if to show off. Fortunately, it was winter, otherwise it would be inedible if it was summer.

"what?"

Xiao Suizi was a little stunned, looking at the kraft paper that had been soaked with grease, and smelled a faint aroma of burnt grease.

“Roast duck~!”

"Come on, try a piece first, we'll have to go to the kitchen to heat it up later~!"

After untying the thin rope tied to the package, the roast duck was sliced. The fat that had seeped out from the bottom had solidified into a milky white color due to the low temperature environment, like lard. Li Nan picked up a slice and stuffed it into Squad Leader Xiao's mouth without hesitation.

He also took a piece, and the two of them chewed it happily, feeling the flavor of Beijing roast duck.

“It’s delicious~!”

Xiao Suizi couldn't help licking the oil stains on her lips. Not to mention that she had been in the army for such a long time, even if she hadn't been in the army, she had never tasted such delicious duck meat. Even though it was not crispy enough and was still cold, it was very fragrant and delicious when chewed.

"Hmm~right, are the others out on business?" Carefully closing the brown paper, Li Nan looked around the dormitory, especially his upper bunk. Seeing that the sheets were still flat and the quilt was still presentable, he was too lazy to tidy them up.

Xiao Suizi also wiped her mouth, poured a cup of hot water for Li Nan, and then sat back down at the table.

"They went to perform in the tank troupe. I don't think they will be back until noon. Save the roast duck for when they come back to eat in the evening. By the way, what kind of business trip did you and Liu Feng go on? I heard that you two won third-class merit~!"

Xiao Suizi, who was about to pick up the pen to write some information, suddenly thought of this and put the pen down again. After turning around, he put his arms on the back of the chair and looked at Li Nan with envy and curiosity in his eyes.

“That’s it…!”

"Squad Leader Xiao, can you help me write an article about Mr. Chen? He is really amazing. At that time, there were many new military uniforms, and the commander required us to go to the training ground for on-site testing. I scratched my hands at that time~!"

Touching the dressing on her right hand, Li Nan pleaded softly. Compared to her own minor injury, the old man's contribution to the army was much greater than hers.

However, such a legendary figure made contributions to the army silently and continued to shine even after retirement, but not many grassroots officers and soldiers knew about this deed.

"But I haven't seen it. You just said that he also participated in the design of military uniforms from the Red Period?"

Li Nan nodded. Mr. Chen did not mention these things much. The past honors seemed to be passing clouds. But since the head of the logistics department had confirmed it, it could not be false.

"There is a military uniform display room in the logistics department. If you want to write an article, you can apply to go there and take a look in person. It's really worth it. You can write a good article about it~!"

Xiao Suizi, who had no idea what to do, looked at the beginning of the manuscript on the table. She liked writing articles very much, but sometimes she lacked a clue, that is, inspiration.

Li Nan's suggestion is indeed a new source of inspiration for her. From the characters to the military uniforms to the history of the founding of our army, it is indeed a typical template.

"I'm still having a headache, look~!"

Xiao Suizi took out a newspaper from the drawer. It was published internally by the entire Southwest Military Region. After flipping through a few pages, Xiao Suizi pointed to a corner and showed it to Li Nan.

"Oh, isn't this Ke Minmin? Ah~~, squad leader Xiao, your article is in the newspaper~!"

The black-and-white photo in the corner was the one of Ke Minmin waving a red flag. The angle was perfect, with the red flag fluttering. Coupled with the title, the performance of the art troupe was highlighted. The article was signed by Xiao Suizi.

Although it was not on the front page, nor was it reported in a big way like the Jie Fang Military Newspaper, Xiao Suizi was very happy that the article she wrote could be published in the internal newspaper of the Southwest Military Region.

Not only was she happy, the troupe was also happy. The troupe's artistic work was recognized by superiors, which was more useful than performing any number of times.

But after the joy came trouble. Xiao Suizi proved her writing ability, and the regiment also supported her to continue writing new articles. Political Commissar Ning even reminded her that for the next article, she should work hard to submit it to the Jiefang Military Daily. This was a political task, and she would be rewarded if she could get it published.

"How about I write about you and Liu Feng? Didn't you guys make contributions?"

"Captain Xiao, don't be afraid of trouble. Just write about Old Chen. It will definitely be more effective than writing about the two of us. Our achievements were given by the old man. He has more stories than the two of us and is much stronger~!"

"Look, he calls himself a tailor. How did he join the Red Revolution as a tailor? What was his original intention in designing military uniforms? These are all stories. Our regiment also belongs to the Rongcheng Military Region. We are a family. If you write about him, the background story will be much bigger~!"

"Also, the uniform he designed for us has been approved by the higher-ups. Director Ji of the General Logistics Department told Squad Leader Liu that we will have to change it this year. Why do we need to change it? What's the significance of the new uniform? If you write about it, you can put it in the newspapers~!"

Li Nan counted on his fingers and began to teach Squad Leader Xiao, and he did it by knocking on the blackboard and highlighting the key points. This kind of article is not only much more meaningful than publicizing the two people's third-class merit, but it can also help the officers and soldiers accept the new uniforms smoothly.

"I'm a little moved by you~!"

Xiao Suizi didn't expect that Li Nan could say so much, but there was no doubt that any one of them could make her heart beat fast. At the beginning, she was mainly worried that she would not be able to write well.

What is most needed for writing is inspiration and subject matter. The Mr. Chen mentioned by Li Nan really has a foundation in major subjects.

"Listen to me, it's absolutely right. You should contact the photography officer as soon as possible. As long as he takes you on this business trip, he will take pictures and you will write. This year, you two can also make a contribution~!"

Seeing that squad leader Xiao was moved, Li Nan hurried to fan the flames. No, at this time it should be said that he was encouraging squad leader Xiao to work hard and strive to be the best, pointing out a direction for her gloomy life.

"Then I'll go first. I don't know if he has followed to the tank regiment. I'll go ask first~!"

"Go, hurry up, the new uniform is in the showroom of the Logistics Department~!"

Squad Leader Xiao is a very nice person, and Mr. Chen is also a very nice person. My brother often says that propaganda work cannot be left behind, so I urge Squad Leader Xiao to do a good job of propaganda for Mr. Chen.

This can be considered as another way of repaying Li Nan.

Third Class Merit. On the train back, Squad Leader Liu explained to her how important it was for a new recruit like her who had been in the army for less than a year.

Of course, if Captain Xiao writes a good article and can benefit from the report and improve her status in the stage design team, Li Nan would be happy to see that.

What is this called? This is called uniting all the forces that can be united~!
