On July 21, 1842, early in the morning, the villagers of the four villages and eight villages entered the viewing positions around the exercise site in an orderly manner under the leadership of the village leaders and village heads. Many villagers who came here for the first time had all kinds of curious gazes as they asked each other questions. At this time, some villagers who had participated in the construction of this exercise ground proudly introduced to everyone who did it and who did it themselves…
The children were now the most lively group. They weaved through the crowd…They kept shouting "pa""pa" sounds, attracting the kind laughter of many adults…
Wang Genbao's team was arranged on the high platform of the fish sunning field not far from the dock. The terrain here was relatively high and the view was wide. The entire exercise field was clear at a glance, causing the villagers to ask around. Who arranged such a good position? At this time, the rich girl was showing off her arrogance. Those who knew about it were secretly telling others that it was because her man had trained well and had participated in the training this time. Therefore, the Self-Defense Army and the village specially arranged this group, causing everyone to look at her with envy...
Wang Genbao's family members knew very well that this was all arranged by Commander Li to praise his man's contribution. However, that was what he said to the public. Who knew about this? It's a pity that we can't tell anyone about the work we're doing at home, so we can only let you guys have it…Thinking of this, Wang Genbao raised his head high and felt proud of his man's great ability…
At the dock, although there were more boats, there were still many people waiting for the ferry. In order to get these people across the river as soon as possible, Wang Genbao was very busy. The ferry basically never stopped.
As the sun slowly appeared on the top of the mountain, Wang Genbao and the others finally sent the people who were waiting to cross the river. Before he could wipe his face with the river water, he saw his village chief running over and waving his hands. Wang Genbao was a little puzzled. What was the village chief looking for him for at this time?
However, he did not dare to be negligent. He quickly tied the boat and jumped onto the dock to welcome the village chief.
"Village chief, what's the matter? Look at how anxious you are…"
However, when the village chief saw him go ashore, he waited there and said,
" Haha, Genbao, it's nothing. I just saw that you were done with your work and the drill was about to start. I was afraid that you would be late, so I came to call you…"
"Sigh! Village chief, isn't there a loudspeaker here…I'll hear it as soon as it sounds inside. It won't delay…"
" Haha, you brat…Hey, your wife is sitting in front. You should go over too…"
"Oh!"
Wang Genbao looked and saw that his guest and A'fu's family were sitting in front.
"Village chief, I have to thank you for taking care of me…"
"Sigh! I don't like what you're saying. What do you mean by taking care of him? You're the only one in our village who can read and write. In the future, we'll need your help to take care of our village! Quick, quick…Look, there are already people sitting on the general platform…It's about to start!"
Wang Genbao also saw it.
"Village chief, I won't sit in front. It's about to start. I'm afraid it will affect the villagers…"
Seeing that the situation was the same, the village chief did not persuade him anymore.
"Then you can sit at my place…Hurry up…"
"Alright, alright, I'll find a rock to cushion my butt.”
Wang Genbao looked around and found a tall rock by the river bank not far away. He walked over and found that it was better to sit on it than sitting on the balcony. Just as he sat down and tried to sit properly, he heard a few voices.
"Hey! I say, this comrade…Oh! So it was Wang Shaogong…You can't sit here. If you want to sit, you have to sit inside the white line!”
Wang Genbao thought to himself,"No way. I'm so tired that I can't even straighten my back. Now that I've finally found a good seat, who's going to chase me away?" He turned around and saw that it was a few patrol members of the self-defense regiment. Each of them had a bright red armband on their arms, and the two yellow words "picket" on them were particularly eye-catching.
"I was wondering who it was, so it's Big Brother Public Order. I used too much strength when I was ferrying just now, and now I want to find a place to rest! This place is quite good, and the location is also not bad. Can you help me?”
The leader looked troubled.
"I say, Brother Wang, we can talk normally, but not today! The higher-ups have stipulated that no matter who it is, they have to watch from the white line. We don't dare to violate this rule. If anyone violates it, they have to leave immediately…"
Wang Genbao couldn't believe it."
"Why is it so strict? A rule that was set a long time ago?"
"Brother Wang, I don't think you know. It's just that a few days ago, we locals didn't train well. Director Zhao was angry, and the rules suddenly became big. This and that can't be done. We have to let people walk for no reason. It's difficult for us now. Brother, do you think we should move the position…"
"Alright, alright, alright! I said that since this rule has been established, I won't dare to break it. I'll lean in…"
"Alright! Thank you, Brother Wang…If Brother Heavenly King is free, let's go to the Victory Building and have a good drink!~”
"Haha, good! Big brothers, please give me face. I'll treat you then!”
After Wang Genbao sent the patrol team away, he had no choice but to find a small stone and lean against the village chief's seat. As soon as he sat down, the village chief smiled and asked him if he had been chased away by the patrol team. At this time, some sharp-eyed people in the crowd were already shouting,
"Xiaolin's mother! Your man is here too…"
Wang Genbao quickly stood up and waved his hand at his guest, indicating that he wouldn't sit down. When the team leader saw this, he asked in confusion,
"Genbao, why don't you go sit down?”
The village chief answered for him,"
"Genbao just told me that he was afraid of disturbing the villagers, so he didn't want to go over.”
"Oh! However, Genbao, you must have worked hard this morning! You didn't tire yourself out by ferrying such a large group of people over, did you?”
Genbao quickly said politely,
"Village chief, team leader, what's so tiring about this little work? Besides, this is for everyone to watch the exercise better. You guys have arranged this exercise venue so well, so it's only right for me to contribute a little! I'm still happy about it!"
"Haha! Village Chief! You see, our group is full of people with high awareness!”
The team leader quickly added.
The village chief didn't mind and praised happily,
"That's right! The people in your group are not bad! " You have a model soldier for training, and a villager like Genbao who is dedicated to the public. Genbao, I've heard others praise you for being diligent, sweet with words, and good at taking care of others. There's no one in the village who doesn't praise you! However, I have to criticize Genbao a little here…"
Genbao and the team leader were confused. What was the village chief trying to say?
"I say, Genbao, it's time to use people. Logically speaking, a person like you who has a good relationship and is knowledgeable should have come out and do more things for us! I heard from the team leader that he has been looking for you several times. Why do you seem to like this ferry boat? Why don't you change locations…"
When the team leader heard this, he immediately became excited.
"Genbao! I can't say much about other things, but you have to think about this carefully! I asked you to take over for a while. You're good. It seems that you want to stay here for a long time? You have to come out and do other things for the village. You have to give up this position…"
Wang Genbao was anxious when he heard that. This was discussed by Military Advisor Xu and Commander Li. What are you guys doing here? It's not good to tell the truth, so he quickly found a reason.
" I say, Village Chief, Team Leader, I'm indebted to everyone for thinking highly of me…"
Before he could continue, a series of " hello "," hello "," hello " sounds came from the tweeter beside him, interrupting Wang Genbao's words. When everyone heard this, they quickly focused their attention on the command platform. Wang Genbao also took the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief...
Everyone looked at the command post in unison. They saw a man in white clothes and a big hat talking to a black pole beside a stage.
"Dear guests, fellow villagers, brothers and sisters, hello! Today, we are gathered together to…"
The voice from the speaker was still coming. Wang Genbao knew that the meeting had officially begun. He looked at the people sitting on the high platform. Although he was a little far away and couldn't see clearly, he still had an impression. He realized that he had seen most of them before, and there were also people he didn't know or had never seen before. There were also a few leaders of the Black Water Party sitting on the platform, discussing something with each other. Beside them sat some local famous people and representatives of the masses...
However, Commander Li and Director Zhao, whom he was most familiar with, were not on the stage. Wang Genbao guessed that they might be preparing for the exercise. Then, Wang Genbao saw the people sitting on the stage being introduced one by one. The villagers on the side were also discussing each of the locals who were introduced…This is so-and-so…Who is that…What does he do…
Wang Genbao was very straightforward. He didn't even know any of these locals, and it was his first time hearing their names. Seeing the village chief and the group leader listening to the loudspeaker very seriously, he didn't dare to ask them at this time, so he could only try his best to remember them…In the end, he remembered the back and forgot the front. This touched his heart. He thought about how he had come into contact with servants at this ferry position. These people with status naturally had their own boats. Usually, everyone would not have any interactions at all, so naturally, they would not pay attention to them. This was a very big gap. They had to quickly discuss with Military Advisor Xu to see how they could collect more information…
