After dinner, Instructor Xu Qingyuan and Squadron Leader Dong Hao were resting at the team base, discussing the matter of the roll call. Secretary Liu Dechao came in and said," Village Chief Gao, Captain Li is here." They looked out of the window and saw that the two of them had already entered the gate and were walking in the courtyard. They quickly went out to welcome them. " Welcome, welcome," the two leaders said.
After the two village officials entered the house, the secretary poured them some water and asked them to sit down on the chairs. Instructor Xu said," Aiya, it's really troublesome for our fellow villagers. There are so many of us, and we still have to help you with food, accommodation, and work. It's really troublesome. Thank you so much!”
"Don't say that. Without the People's Liberation Army, there would be no peace in the country. Therefore, it's only right for us to help out with some work since you're staying here. The army and the people are a family. We help each other. In the future, the village will need you more."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's our duty to help our fellow countrymen. If there's anything in the future, you can come." Company Leader Dong was very sincere.
"We don't come here for no reason. We really have something to do today."
" Tell me, what's the matter?" Instructor Xu asked.
" We plan to plant spring wheat on the land in the North Valley. The community requires more organic fertilizer. Now that the grain seeds are about to arrive, there is a pile of manure at the foot of the mountain that has not been carried up.
"The Grain Seed cannot be forcefully planted. Why didn't you say so earlier? How many people do you want?”
" Ten or so will do." The village chief smiled embarrassedly.
"I'll give you two shifts. Pick her up at the door at eight tomorrow morning.”The instructor turned to Captain Dong. The squadron leader said,"How is it?”
" Okay, okay, it's a deal." The village chief left happily.
As for Ah Hui, she wanted to go back to school, but she said that she would stay in the team and not leave. As a result, she couldn't leave even if she wanted to, so she regretted it a little. But what was the use of regret? Behind her back, Ah Hui thought silently for a long time. In the situation he was facing, he could only take things as they came. Moreover, he had to do a good job and be a good soldier. What about studying? A famous person once said," An uncultured army is a stupid army." In that case, a soldier with a low level of education would not be a good soldier. His current culture was not enough. At the very least, he had to finish the high school curriculum. Therefore, Ah Hui made up her mind. On Sunday, he went to the Xinhua Bookstore in Lushun and bought all the books for the second and third years of high school. Language, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Russian, and a big Luo were all prepared to be studied.
The life of a warrior was highly concentrated. From the time they opened their eyes in the morning to the time they closed their eyes at night, they were all moving in unison. How could there be time for one person to read and study? If he wanted to read, he could only do it on Sunday. There was only one day, which was too little. When will he finish reading so many books? Ah Hui had no choice but to put the book in her pocket every day and read it during breaks in training. On this day, the Dragon King Temple production team came to the squadron to receive reinforcements. They happened to bring the fourth and fifth squads over. There was a large pile of manure on the roadside at the foot of the northern slope. The captain said that the two of them would carry the feces up in a basket and pull them apart pile by pile. Thus, the battle began. Ah Hui and Cheng Long copied a basket. Two women from the production team filled the baskets. One was mute and in her forties, and the other was a girl in her twenties. The girl was tall and slender, with two long braids. She wrapped her face tightly with a scarf, leaving only a thin gap to reveal her eyes. After carrying a few baskets, Ah Hui realized that she could still make use of the time she had to wait for the baskets to be loaded. He took out the book from his pocket, held the pole with one hand, and flipped through the book with the other. Ah Hui didn't know that the basket was full. Cheng Longxue pressed the basket with a carrying pole and whispered,"Let's go, let's go." The two of them lifted the basket and ran into the mountains. Mute kept shouting behind him.
It turned out that the girl who worked with Mute was called Wu Yufen. After graduating from junior high school, due to the lack of labor at home, he did not participate in the middle school examination and directly returned to the village to participate in agricultural production. However, she had always missed her school days. She loved reading and liked scholars. When she was working with the soldiers today, Ah Hui would read a book whenever she stopped, which attracted her attention. As she worked, she turned her head to look at Ah Hui. When she saw that Ah Hui's book was high school algebra, she thought to herself,"She's still a scholar!" Look at his spirit, it's really admirable."
When she was reloading the basket, in order to let Ah Hui read for a while longer, she deliberately packed less and slowly. She even didn't pack at all. She leaned on the shovel and watched Mute pack by himself. Mute didn't know how to speak, so his heart was clear and white. She gesticulated with her eyes, meaning that Wu Yufen's eyes were staring straight at Ah Hui. Wu Yufen didn't care about her.
Ah Hui was just carrying the basket and reading a book. Mute and Wu Yufen were completely unaware of what was going on.
To the east of the Dragon King Temple was a vast ocean of Wang Yang, surging day and night. Standing by the seaside of the Dragon King Temple, one could see an endless stretch of land. One could see a lone reef on the flat island of Dalian, lying calmly in the sea. When the tide rose, the sea was turbulent. When the tide ebbed, many large and small reefs were exposed by the sea. People from the Dragon King Temple and people from unknown places came to the sea. Here, there were sea cabbages, seaweed, clams, small crabs, small fish, shrimp, conches, and everything else.
Every day after dinner, there was a period of free time. Cheng Long learned from Liu Zhongli, Liang Huaicheng, and a few other soldiers of the Great Lian Army. They went to the seaside every day to smash the sea oyster to eat. When she came back, she also said how bright and delicious the oyster was. She said it with relish. Ah Hui also went to the beach with them. The tide was still receding. One by one, reefs emerged from the water. The people in the village began to get busy. Cheng Long learned from Liu Zhongli and Liang Huaicheng and was even more active. They jumped from one reef to another, constantly smashing the oyster on the reef with stones. After breaking the shell, he placed it in his mouth and ate it. As he chewed, he said,"It smells so good, so good, so bright."
" Ah Hui, come and smash it. It's delicious," they called out.
Ah Hui used a rock to smash it open. It looked like snot. It was so disgusting! If he didn't eat, he would vomit.
" It's delicious. Try it. That's it. Look." Cheng Longxue raised his neck and swallowed an oyster with a loud gulp. Liu Zhongli also said,"Try it, bright." Liang Huaicheng said,"It's too beautiful, too beautiful."
Since he said it was good, he would give it a try. Ah Hui smashed a small one and began to eat like them. Just as it reached his mouth, he felt a fishy smell, but he forced it into his mouth. " Aiya, what's that smell? How can I swallow it?" He spat it out again.
"Aiya! What a pity, why did you vomit? After swallowing it and getting used to it, it would be fine. "I don't eat it often, but I still crave it." Liu Zhongli held a freshly smashed oyster, raised his head, and let Ah Hui look at it before swallowing it in one gulp.
Seeing that they were eating so happily, Ah Hui decided to give it another try. Moreover, he was not as determined as the first time. He did not eat it and was prepared to vomit first. This time, she would rather vomit it out in her stomach than in her mouth. He smashed a medium-sized one. In order to reduce the bitterness of swallowing, he had to shorten the time of swallowing. Therefore, he opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
"How is it?" The Study of Cheng Long
"It's nothing much. Anyway, I ate it."
" One more. Here you go." Liang Huaicheng threw one down and held it in his hand.
" No, I'm not eating anymore." Ah Hui stood on the reef and watched Cheng Long learn from Liang Huaicheng and the others as they smashed this and that. They ate so happily and with relish. The rolling seawater hit the reef, and their shoes and pants were wet. No one cared about it. How interesting!
The next day, Ah Hui went with them again. He smashed two and ate them. It didn't feel very bright, but it didn't taste fishy either. It was much better than the first day. On the third day, she tasted the beauty of the dish. She no longer had that fishy feeling. After eating for a week, almost every night, Ah Hui would take the initiative to go to the sea.
"Let's go to the beach!" Ah Hui called out.
" How is it? Are you addicted to it?"
It was true. If he didn't eat a few pieces of oyster every day, it would feel like something was missing.
