Breathing in the free air of Southern Border.
The recruits were excited and looked excited.
After staying in the military camp for a week, it was really boring.
Now that he was out, he felt as if he had regained his freedom as he wandered in this empty space.
There was a saying that " the scenery in the northern border is the most beautiful, while the scenery in the southern border is the most romantic." However, the scenery here was not inferior to the scenery in the northern border at all.
The transport vehicle sped along the winding road.
In the desolate land far away, cotton was planted. White flowers bloomed on the branches like clouds falling on the treetops.
Occasionally, one could see herds of horses in the tall Gobi grassland. The mountains were facing the vast sky, making one's mood unconsciously feel comfortable.
"Wow, what a huge forest."
"There's a strangely shaped basin over there!”
"How great it would be to live here."
"Aren't we staying here now?”
Everyone looked outside and could not help but sigh.
Seeing how excited they were, Chen Ming smiled and said,"Since we have nothing to do now, let's sing a military song!”
Seeing that the vice-class monitor had spoken, everyone naturally did not have any objections.
They all asked Chen Ming to start.
Chen Ming continued," We're back from shooting. The sun is setting and the clouds are red. Get ready to sing!"”
"The sun sets and the red clouds fly in the west mountain!"
" Warriors, target practice, return to camp..."
Everyone in the back started singing in unison.
His voice was loud and clear, echoing in all directions.
The sound lingered on the long road.
Although it wasn't time for shooting practice yet.
However, a military song sang out their lofty aspirations.
It was a different feeling to sing loudly in the wilderness of this border.
The class monitor, who was driving, could not help but laugh silently when he heard their passionate singing.
He could not help but sigh in his heart. These young men in their youth really made him, an old man, easily miss the past.
He looked into the distance, and a beautiful figure could not help but flash across his mind. Then, his eyes quickly dimmed.
……
In the city.
The car slowed down, and the buildings in the city could already be seen.
The ancient residences here still retained some of the old city's flavor, and the local ethnic characteristics were also very rich.
Even in the city, there were more local customs and customs than in ordinary cities.
After entering the city, everyone stopped singing, afraid of disturbing the people.
However, there were still many passers-by who looked at the transport vehicle.
The recruits on the transport vehicles kept looking at the corners of the streets and alleys, at the shop signs, and at the clothes of the locals...
Everything looked fresh.
Anything new would attract the attention of the crowd. After all, this was much more interesting than the unchanging military camp.
As the class monitor was leading the team, they couldn't just wander around. It was also good to take a few more glances to feast their eyes.
It was noon.
The soldiers were starving, and they were all looking forward to what Matthew would bring them to eat.
Although the food in the military camp was quite good, it was a group meal after all. They paid more attention to nutrition and could not be too ostentatious.
Of course, they had to taste the local delicacies when they came to the city!
The answer was soon revealed.
The class monitor brought them to an old open-air barbecue restaurant.
After parking the car.
Everyone stood in a straight line and followed the class monitor to the entrance of the shop.
Squad Leader Miao looked at this group of new recruits who were like new wives. He waved his hand and announced,""It's my treat. Eat as much meat as you want!"
"Eat as much as you want. It's authentic barbecue.”
"You can eat meat, but you're not allowed to drink alcohol.”
These words were quite heroic, and they directly stunned everyone.
"Long live the class monitor!"
In their excitement, everyone shouted, their faces full of excitement.
Barbecued meat from the border, that was what they had been talking about.
If he didn't get it, he would be able to get it this time. It was perfect, perfect.
All the resentment from coming to this tough place had disappeared.
A roast meat was the most important thing in life.
Chen Ming chuckled as he looked at the domineering class monitor. This time, the atmosphere was filled up.
During this period of time, although it was not a long time, the class monitor had been with them no matter if it was eating, drinking, or defecating. They had long developed a complicated relationship of love and hate.
No matter how much Old Ban trained them, it was to let them grow up quickly.
They didn't have to show off their results in the assessment, but at least they had something to show off.
As for their daily lives, Squad Leader Miao had absolutely nothing to say.
However, the class monitor wanted to treat them to barbecue, which made Chen Ming a little worried about the class monitor's financial situation.
A meal for ten people would cost at least a thousand yuan. It was not a small sum no matter where it was. The class monitor would have to spend a lot of money this time.
Roasted meat was a delicacy that everyone wanted to eat. They could share it among themselves.
Chen Ming glanced at his comrades and suggested,""Why don't we split the bill?"
"Anyway, we brought some money with us when we came to the army.”
"There's no need to spend money in the army, so there's no need for the class monitor to treat us.”
Chen Ming gave a simple suggestion. If everyone split the bill, everyone would be happy.
Moreover, they didn't have many opportunities to come out. It was extremely rare for them to gather together and eat barbecue.
Besides, a meal of roasted meat was just so-so. Compared to the new recruits 'allowance, they could still afford two or three hundred yuan per person.
It was indeed a shame to let the class monitor bear the expenses alone when they came out to play together.
When the others heard this, they felt that it made sense.
"Alright, let's split the bill."
"I agree!"
"Let the class monitor keep some money!"
Everyone agreed to split the bill.
A middle-aged man like the class monitor must have a family. The family needed money, and he might even smoke cheap cigarettes.
Although he knew that it was the class monitor's good intentions, there was no need to treat him.
"Class monitor, don't pay. Let us split the bill.”
"Yes, class monitor, you should save some money. It's fine for us young people to be a little reckless.”
The few of them said to the class monitor. Before they came out, they were craving for the delicacies of the border area and had brought some cash with them.
When the class monitor heard their worries, he smiled in his heart.
This bunch of brats still knew how to dote on the class monitor.
He laughed heartily and said," I'm not married. I don't have any children. Don't worry. I can still afford a meal. I'm still a fourth-grade officer."”
The hierarchy in the army was strict. After hearing Squad Leader Miao's words, everyone did not say anything else.
"Is Old Miao's salary very high?" Chen Ming asked Geng Jun curiously.”
Geng Jun explained to Chen Ming in a low voice," According to the Army's minimum wage standard, a fourth-grade officer can earn about 8,000 yuan a month. Including housing subsidies and housing funds, he can earn about 10,000 yuan a month.”
"This is the border area, and the conditions are harsh. There are also various additional subsidies. I'm afraid the class monitor can get 15,000 yuan a month.”
Chen Ming was surprised. It was actually so high.
He had misjudged. It seemed that the older the soldier, the more popular it was.
The class monitor didn't seem to show off, but this treatment was really quite high.
"Since the class monitor insists on treating us, it would be hypocritical of us to refuse."”
"Next time we give out subsidies, please return to class monitor.”
