As soon as He Yuanchao, He Yang, Suning and Zhang Yingxue came out of the camp, it started to drizzle from the sky. They speeded up and ran out of the special road leading to the camp, and rushed to the bus stop on the side of the road. Under the platform awning, several soldiers in military sub-districts were also wearing military sub-districts. When they saw them coming, they squeezed each other and left a place for them.

"Is it raining here often every summer? Today is the second rain." Zhang Yingxue wiped the rain from her face and complained.

"What's this! The rainy season is coming soon. Only then do you know what it means to rain. Twenty-four hours a day, it rains for more than ten hours. The sky is also gloomy, wet and stuffy. I wonder if the training will be stopped at that time." He Yuanchao pulled his shirt, preventing the wet clothes from sticking to the flesh, constantly shaking, wanting to let the wet clothes dry as soon as possible.

Suning listened absent-mindedly to the conversation between the two, turned around and asked, "Is it as heavy as the rain?"

"It's not too heavy, but it's a bit of drizzle. In the past, when I was on the farm, the most difficult thing was the rainy season. Every time I went to the field, I was covered in mud and I was tired of working. Many people were so tired that they didn't have the energy to wash their clothes when they went back, so they took off their wet clothes and hung them up. The next day, they wore half-dry clothes to go down the field..." He Yuanchao recalled the hard days he was on the farm, and his eyes were a little confused.

"Then you won't stop training." Suning frowned and said lightly.

"It's so unlucky! I don't dare to hang my clothes outside in this ghost weather. If I keep training, the two sets of clothes will not be enough to change them." He Yuanchao's thoughts immediately pulled back from his memories, with a bitter face and a toothache.

He Yang had experience in the army and comforted him: "Don't worry, the superiors will not let us train in the rain. Who can bear the rain every day? At that time, at least a large area will fall. I heard the company commander discussing with the instructor and said that he would receive a notice from his superiors to arrange more indoor physical fitness and shooting training during the rainy season, or conduct political study and tactical subject training in the interval when the rain stops. Each company will also allocate several washing machines and dryers with automatic drying, so that everyone can change it in time. It is really easy to be a soldier here, and all kinds of living facilities are complete. We used to train in China, but we were all hand-washed, so how could we have this condition?"

He is very satisfied with the current situation.

He lives in a beautiful and comfortable building, surrounded by passionate Fang Gang's comrades. In his opinion, he is already very satisfied. His superiors are still constantly improving the life of the troops and training facilities to relieve the soldiers of all kinds of worries.

Just at the beginning of the month, he was promoted to the deputy rank due to his hard training and excellent skills.

The instructor told him that this means promotion in China. From now on, he will be a professional soldier and will no longer receive soldiers' allowances, but salary, basic salary, training subsidies, etc., and all kinds of messes will add up to 70 yuan a month!

in the country, this is already the salary of an assistant engineer!

Now he has issued a new military uniform. When he put it on and looked in the mirror, he feels that he is much more majestic and arrogant.

The new military uniform does not have a military rank yet. I heard that when the commander comes back from abroad, he will hold a meeting to discuss the award of the troops. As the deputy platoon, he will also have to be awarded the title of second lieutenant.

He consulted the instructor and learned that his family could be allowed to accompany the army and the troops would arrange work, so he hurriedly wrote a letter to his wife in his hometown and asked her to come!

This time, he followed He Yuanchao and heard that his buddy had bought a house and officially moved to a new house. He planned to follow him in the name of He Xi to see how the house was. If it was not expensive, he would also buy a house so that his wife could come and have a place to live.

"This road was still a dirt road before?" Suning, who seemed to be indifferent, seemed to find that there was a cement road in front of him, and said in surprise.

It is obvious that cars come and go on the newly built highway, and it is very busy.

"Well, I asked, it was newly built in the past two months. One end is connected to the new city and the other end to Longkang, then turn north to the Jiehe River. From the university district, there is also a circle and connected to the main road. The Military Sub-district built the road before the rainy season, just to fear that the roads will be muddy and hinder the transportation of materials. Now with cement roads, buses can lead to various towns below, and it is much more convenient for ordinary people to enter the city." He Yuanchao, Xue Zhen, who works at a radio station, passed the message and knew the new progress of the Military Sub-district.

The military division is developing rapidly, and he is also proud of himself and speaks of it.

Through the rain curtain, Suning looked at the surrounding scenery that was becoming increasingly strange, with a dazed expression. He Yang and others ignored him and talked with He Yuanchao about the new changes in the military division, smiling. Influenced by them, several other military division soldiers waiting for the bus on the platform also discussed it enthusiastically, and during their conversation, they were full of longing for the future of the military division.

While talking, a red bus drove out of the rain, slowly moved up to the platform and opened the front door.

"On the front door, under the back door, under the front door, under the back door! Buy the ticket and get on the bus!" A middle-aged woman sitting by the front door stuck her head out and guided two soldiers who ran to the back door to wait to get on the bus.

For He Yuanchao and others, this way of getting on and off is very novel.

No matter which car door in China, it is enough to squeeze into the bus. After getting on, the ticket seller will walk back and forth to sell tickets. Those who evade tickets will get into the crowd and pretend that they have already gotten on the bus, allowing the ticket seller to shout back and forth, and without saying a word.

The way of getting on the front door and getting off the passengers at the back door made the person who was trying to evade tickets have nowhere to hide and could only pay for the tickets honestly.

He Yuanchao and others lined up in line to get on the bus and bought tickets one by one.

The tickets are not expensive. The first phase of the Seiko Community where Kong Lingchen and Xue Zhen live is only four cents, and the terminal station Commercial Avenue is only one cent.

"This is great, we are the only ones!" He Yuanchao found that the huge carriage was empty, with only a few of them. He smiled and occupied the front window seat.

He Yang didn't pick on it, sat down beside him, turned his head curiously and looked at the back: "Why are there no one in this car in two compartments?"

"The people in the township have no money. They would rather travel dozens of miles than sell tickets and take a train." The ticket seller signaled the driver to close the door and said angrily, "It's a loss to drive this line. There are more than a dozen villages in the two townships. If you didn't meet your soldiers occasionally, you would have to drive empty cars back and forth."

"How could you lose money? Anyway, there are too many people, so don't you get so much salary. If you have fewer people, it's easier for you." Suning looked at the empty carriage and relaxed his eyebrows, intending to trigger topics.

“There is a big difference between many people and few people!”

It was okay if he didn't say it, but as soon as he spoke, the ticket seller and the driver shouted. Perhaps it was because of the lonely road, and the two of them said and said something, so that He Yuanchao and they quickly understood the situation.

The Military Sub-district purchased dozens of new buses from China and established a bus company. The income of the driver and ticket seller consists of two yuan of basic salary and bonus. Only 37 yuan of basic salary can be obtained after completing normal line operation. In addition, there are fuel-saving rewards and summer heat prevention subsidies.

If you have empty cars like them, you will only have to spend about 40 yuan in a month. You can’t get any extra rewards, and the members of the crew are all angry.

"The company originally planned to take articulated buses. The two-chamber carriage can take up to 300 people. Later, I found that no one was taking it at all, so I quickly changed to the current one to save some gasoline money. After a while, if the train is still empty, I will have to reduce the number of trains. I asked me to cut it and make more money from the city route. By the way, I will send three trains a day, one for morning, noon and evening. The departure time is 7 o'clock, 12 o'clock and six o'clock in the evening. You must remember that if you miss the train, there will be no trains." The young female ticket seller whispered, complained, and kindly reminded.

On the spacious six-lane cement road, the East Wind, Jiefang, and the Yellow River are running back and forth. Most of the people driving towards the city are carrying daily necessities, steel bars, construction machinery, and sometimes there is a huge oil tanker. More than half of those driving out of the city are transporting earthworks.

The bus was traveling for a distance and a bus passed by. He Yuanchao and others found that there was no one on the bus except the driver and the ticket seller.

"It's still poor!" Suning stretched his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"It's weird that they are poor! They are too stingy!" The ticket seller was not grateful for his understanding at all, and said angrily, "Many people in the townships went to work on the construction site and earned a lot. It turned out to be 50 cents a day, but later they paid their wages based on the work type and workload. As long as they are willing to work, a strong laborer can earn two to three yuan a day. If they have the skills and do a good job, it is not uncommon to get five or six yuan a day... All towns have gone to work on the construction site. Now the work in the field is handed over to the elderly and children at home. They don't grow the food that the hard-working food of Taoshen, sorghum and corn. Some of the vegetables are eaten by themselves, and some are sent to the market to sell. Sorghum and corn are crushed and used to raise pigs and chickens, and they earn a lot. They are used to being poor and can't bear to spend money!"

Suning and others opened their mouths wide and were silent.

The other soldiers were also shocked by the wages of the migrant workers, and there was no sound in the carriage.

"I said, let's just go to the construction site to work!" He Yang came to his senses for a long time, half joking, half serious.

The driver looked back at him and quickly turned around: "It's such a good way out for the army. What do you do on the construction site? We have never thought about changing jobs. Don't look at the migrant workers earn a lot, but they work hard. In order to earn more money, they don't rest when it's windy or rainy. After a day, they are so tired that they can't straighten their waists."

"We also need to train when it is windy and rainy." He Yuanchao said dissatisfied.

The driver, the ticket seller laughed.

"You have to train hard, but your future will be good. When you change jobs, your starting salary will be 20% higher than others. Under the same conditions, salary increases and promotions will be preferred for demobilized cadres. According to the development momentum of the Military Sub-district, when you work, development will be much better than working on the construction site. We are not in a hurry, and we are still slowly enduring. Why are you anxious? After two years, the people will gradually become rich and are willing to spend money. This route is inevitable, and we will have more income." The driver is in his early thirties, speaking slowly, and he has experienced vicissitudes and see through the world.

He Yuanchao and others looked at each other, saw the bright light in each other's eyes, and grinned. A feeling called happiness gradually permeated in their hearts.

From the windshield, the outline of a city appears in the misty drizzle.

This is our city!

In the future, we will be the owner of this city!
Chapter completed!
