Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 193 Training in the Rain
Zhu Xuesong looked around and saw that the younger sister was still playing with firewood in her hand, so she couldn't help but remind her.

"When the water is warm, just use a low fire to keep it. Don't add more firewood and waste it by using a high fire. The temperature is too high and people can't stand it."

"Second brother, you are so verbose. My eldest brother taught me how to use it. This stove burns so fast. It's so easy to use."

The jumping flames made Zhu Xuemei's face turn red. She threw the firewood in her hand into the fireplace, stretched out her little hands to keep warm by the fire, and turned around to ask.

"Second brother, tell me who sent the gloves and scarf just now to eldest brother. I'm sure it wasn't Sister Xia."

Zhu Xuesong has cooked the glutinous rice porridge and is heating up a pot of steamed buns with Erhe noodles. He also spread out a few eggs and mixed with cabbage just now.

He was bending over to pick up pickled radish from the kimchi jar. Silly Zhu helped pickled the radish according to the Sichuan cooking method. It tasted good.

Silly Zhu will come after a while, but he has not determined the time, so he usually lets the two of them eat first.

"Why are you thinking so much? Brother must know and can handle it well. Come and eat. We won't make meat dishes today. Keep it simple."

Seeing that her second brother was ready, Zhu Xuemei rubbed her little hands on her pants and got ready to get on the table.

"I like to eat cold cabbage, but it's a pity that there is no sesame sauce. The Qianlong cabbage made by my eldest brother last time was so delicious."

"Besides, I really don't want to eat wild boar meat. Brother is right. It does have some flavor. Why didn't I feel it before?"

"Yellow mutton is still delicious. I never get tired of it. Also, brother, you can try making one of those pickled rabbits sometime."

Zhu Xuesong served the carrot and knocked his sister on the forehead.

"Go and wash your hands first. You have the nerve to say you don't want to eat meat, but you are still thinking about the yellow sheep. You are getting more and more cunning."

"There are several businesses that can afford meat now. You have forgotten the difficult days of the past few months. As a human being, you must not forget your roots."

Zhu Xuemei stuck out her tongue and was accidentally taught a lesson by her second brother. Indeed, how could she not want to eat meat before? Now that her elder brother is taking care of her, she is a little bit confused.

He said while washing his hands.

"Second brother, I didn't forget. I won't do it next time."

"That's more or less the same. Without eldest brother, neither of us would have enough to eat. Don't choose between us in the future."

Not long ago, people from Niu Village came to buy feed again and brought four rabbits to Zhu Xuefeng. They said that they had raised a lot of rabbits and the harvest was pretty good.

After taking a few and thanking them, the two of them declined. They sincerely offered to live and die for free, so they had no choice but to accept them. Unfortunately, they didn't know how to do it, and they are still marinating them now.

After stuffing a mouthful of cold cabbage, Zhu Xuemei still couldn't forget the meat.

"Second brother, the village said that they will raise more pigs next year and leave one for eldest brother and his factory. Is that true? With one pig, we can share some of the meat with our family."

Zhu Xuesong took a sip of porridge, glanced at his little sister, and shook his head helplessly. After teaching him for a while, he started thinking about it again.

"Eat quickly. It will cool down in a while. We don't need to worry about these things. Big brother will definitely take care of them."

"I guess eldest brother will keep a small part and get rid of the rest. I didn't see the little wild boar last time. I heard that he gave away more than half, so our family only kept a little."

There was a noise outside the door. It was Shazhu who had packed up the pre-made dishes and returned from get off work. Now that the weather is cold, there are fewer types of dishes, and the number of pre-made dishes has also decreased.

He stamped his feet at the door, patted the scattered snow foam, pushed open the door of the west wing, and rubbed his hands.

"It's really cold. The temperature has dropped all of a sudden. I don't know what Xuefeng is like in the ravine."

Seeing the way the brother and sister had just started eating, they sat down directly.

"It's a coincidence. Didn't I let you two eat first? Xuesong, I asked, why is your house so warm? Oh, it's because the stove is on. It's really warm."

Zhu Xuefeng brought Sha Zhu bowls and chopsticks, then turned around and picked up another bottle of wine and a wine glass.
"Brother Zhuzi, why don't you drink some wine? It's good to warm yourself up in this weather."

"Okay, I'll pick it up when I get home. Don't take it. Your brother's wine is all good wine. I'll waste it drinking alone. I'll prepare some more Erguotou tomorrow and put it here."

Nowadays, Shazhu doesn't often bring lunch boxes back. He usually comes to Lao Zhu's house to have a bite with his brother and sister. He often cooks and has taught Zhu Xuesong a lot. He has secretly made sea cucumbers a few times, and the response has been good.

It's just that Silly Zhu didn't know how to make rabbits according to Zhu Xuefeng's instructions. He was afraid of spoiling a few rabbits, so he helped pickle them.

...

Zhu Xuefeng has always adhered to the principle of keeping a low profile, but he still received two consecutive awards. One was for his long-term obligation to fetch water for everyone, and he was unanimously elected by everyone, and he received another consecutive award for serving the people.The other time was shooting training. Zhu Xuefeng couldn't help but want to try the benefits of abnormal vision. In addition, he had practiced shooting before and achieved results that shocked everyone.

On the other hand, a classmate who climbed over cow dung without hesitation during the crawling training was honored to receive the only brigade award in the company.

This student was repeatedly praised by Teacher Guo and notified to the school. It was said that he would be admitted to the student union of the department.

"Adjust the target to 100 meters and try it again."

The squad leader helped adjust the crosshair. Except for Zhu Feng's first shot, which was a little off, he got used to the distance, and everything behind him was full of circles.

"Adjust to 200 meters and try again..."

"You are a born sharpshooter. This is your first time touching a gun. Why don't you come to the army?"

The company commander and instructor were very surprised and asked Zhu Xuefeng to fire more than a dozen bullets, and the results were quite good.

In the end, instructor Zhao personally arranged for Zhu Xuefeng to test all types of firearms. Without exception, the results were all very good.

"Boy, it's a pity that you don't have the eyesight to be a soldier. Why don't you join the army? Practice hard and you'll be a sharpshooter."

Zhu Xuefeng shook his head. Although he still had the urge to become a soldier, he really had to join the army and would not be able to escape for at least a few years, so he might as well forget it.

Watching the firearm proficiency on the panel rapidly rise to level two, I am already very satisfied.

"Instructor, I wasted so many bullets, is it okay?"

Instructor Zhao felt a little regretful, but didn't care.

"We have a mission every year to destroy ammunition that is about to expire. All the ammunition we trained for you must be destroyed."

"If you are interested, keep shooting. It will help us complete the mission. See that truck? These bullets will make you vomit."

Seeing all the soldiers firing non-stop, Zhu Xuefeng lay down again in excitement...

...

I got up early again. The training subject this time was training. It was said to be fully armed, but in fact it meant putting a quilt on a backpack and carrying a rice bowl and a kettle. There were no guns and ammunition, which was actually quite light.

We got up at three o'clock in the morning, had our meal, and then set off as a team under the moonlight. We walked for about an hour. The night before dawn was quiet, and the team moved together. Except for the rustling sound on the road, there was not even a cough.

The training during this period was quite effective. First of all, the discipline became much stronger. As we walked, the team slowly stopped.

"Walking in place, one, two, three, four, standing still, taking a break."

Under the command of the second platoon leader, the team rested on the spot. It turned out that all the military training personnel had come to join together. The team of more than 800 people lined up in a long line on the dark road.

Slowly another team passed by and slowly stopped on the left side of the team. The road was quite wide, and the two teams combined only had four people in a row.

It occupies half of the road, and the other half is reserved for command vehicles running back and forth.

After a while, the team moved again. It was the first large-scale night march. Although it was very cold outside, everyone was excited and high-spirited. It seemed that they were real soldiers, marching at night. Unfortunately, they had no guns and bare hands. .

Under the moonlight, the immature team marched at a slow pace. In order to enhance the momentum and lively atmosphere, each company began to actively sing songs.

The east wind blows and the war drum beats. Who will the [-]th company be afraid of? Whoever is afraid of who will come is afraid of whom. Hehe, whoever is afraid of whom!

One of the ten companies comes and asks you to sing, but you don’t sing, you are so coquettish and unseemly!
Under the leadership of the instructor, he first launched an offensive against the tenth company that was marching side by side with him, and then started the second round before the other party could be organized uniformly.

One, two, three, four, five, we waited so hard
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, we are waiting so anxiously...

I don’t know what the tenth company is, but now the two teams are soaring forward. Until the tenth company is notified to run forward, there is no difference.

No one sang, they just kept pulling and pulling, but there was a team in front singing loudly. After the tenth company left, the team became a row of four.

I slowly left the road and went up the mountain. The dark mountain road was difficult to walk. I relied on a little moonlight to guide me. There was not even a torch. Four people in a row had long ago changed to two people in a row. Finally, I walked. Became a line again.

I don’t know how many mountains I’ve climbed, but the sky slowly gets brighter. Now I’ve descended to the bottom of the mountain and walking in the valley. People have begun to fall behind on the road. From time to time, I can see some squad leaders carrying several backpacks.

　(I wrote about 120 people in a company before. There are not many people in the strengthened company. It’s just that there were only more than [-] people in the department when the author was in military training. I wrote a string with all the memories in my mind. It has been revised)
