On this day, an unexpected visitor suddenly broke into the barracks of the military camp.
"For such a small thing, I'm afraid it wasn't long after it was born, right?"
"This little guy is too thin. Is he hungry? I heard that the cry is not much higher than that of a mosquito."
"..."
"You're all very busy, aren't you? If you're not training, why don't you watch the peep show?"
As soon as Gu Xingdong came in from outside after reporting his work, he saw his soldiers huddled together talking about something, and his face suddenly turned dark.
When everyone heard his voice, they immediately stood up straight and cleared the space in the middle. Soon, a small milk cat as big as a palm was revealed inside.
Gu Xingdong frowned: "Where did it come from?"
"Report to the battalion commander, it came in on its own." Li Weimin reported loudly.
"There is still time to concentrate during the training time. Why, you have only achieved a few results in this actual battle and then they are all gone?"
As he spoke, Gu Xingdong bent down and lifted the huddled little kitten up from the ground, only to find that it was as light as a ball of cotton.
As if feeling the danger, the little cat kicked its limbs and meowed feebly twice. When Gu Xingdong heard this cry, his heart moved, it was very similar to someone's humming.
Everyone saw his actions and looked at the little thing worriedly, but no one dared to say a word.
Animals are not allowed in the military camp, but if it is sent out in such a cold weather, it will definitely be a dead end.
"What do you want me to do? Each person does 300 squats and 300 sit-ups. After finishing, they will continue fighting training in pairs! Li Weimin will take notes."
Gu Xingdong's sharp eyes scanned the whole place, and finally stopped on Li Weimin. After seeing him respond, he took the cat and strode outside.
As soon as he left the barracks door, a group of soldiers immediately gathered around him.
"Our battalion commander won't be so cruel as to throw it away, right?" A young soldier said worriedly.
"Who knows." The other one sighed.
"Hey, look, the battalion commander is heading towards the canteen. He doesn't want to stew the kitten. How big is it? The battalion commander is too cruel."
As soon as Wang Dazhu finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the back of the head: "What are you thinking about all day long? Our battalion commander is like that. Besides, cat meat is not delicious."
As soon as Li Weimin finished speaking, there were more than a dozen eyes on him. Li Weimin frowned: "What are you staring at me for?"
"Company Commander, you are so cruel." A young soldier expressed everyone's feelings.
Li Weimin choked and quickly explained: "What are you thinking about? I also heard from the old people in my hometown, what did I not eat when I was hungry in the first few years?"
Everyone was completely indifferent to his explanation.
Li Weimin was anxious: "What are you looking at? You have forgotten the mission just given by the battalion commander? Go back to training quickly. If you don't complete it, you will be punished even more."
When they thought of Gu Xingdong, everyone got scared and immediately ran to train obediently.
On the other side, as soon as Gu Xingdong turned around the barracks, he held the kitten in his hand. He felt the kitten shivering, and after thinking about it, he put it into his pocket again.
"Captain Gu." The little soldier in the cafeteria called out when he saw him coming in.
Gu Xingdong nodded and handed over the kitten in his pocket: "Let it go to you first. I'll come and get it in the evening."
The little warrior was stunned for a moment and quickly picked up the kitten.
"I think it is hungry, please get some water and food." Gu Xingdong did not forget to explain before leaving.
…
On the day of delivery, Zhou Bin came over early in the morning and took away thirty sets of clothes. Chen Lishu looked at the remaining twenty-two sets of clothes, thought about it, and decided to try her luck on the black market.
After putting her work clothes into her bag and taking a small piece of labor cloth, Chen Lishu locked the courtyard door and headed straight to the black market.
Perhaps because of the cold weather and the heavy snowfall just two days ago, the black market seemed a bit deserted.
Unfamiliar faces, everyone quietly put their hands in their sleeves, squatting or standing. A few customers who came to buy and exchange things were in a hurry and left as soon as they finished their transactions.
Chen Lishu knew that it was cold, so she covered herself up tightly. In order to keep warm, she wore the thickest cotton jacket and cotton trousers. Her head and face were wrapped in a scarf, leaving only a pair of eyes outside.
"Comrade, what are you selling?" As soon as she put the bag on the ground, a customer came over to ask.
"Selling work clothes." Chen Lishu said and took out the small piece of fabric she had prepared in advance.
The man was very interested when he heard that she was selling work clothes. He touched the fabric she handed over and felt it was very thick. He asked, "How do you sell it?"
"Eighteen-year-old suit, extra five feet of cloth coupons. If you buy it alone, it costs ten yuan, three feet of cloth coupons for the top and two feet for the pants."
The man hesitated after hearing the price she quoted: "Can it be cheaper if I buy more?"
Chen Lishu nodded: "Five sets or more are sixteen, plus five feet of cloth tickets."
As long as you have five sets, each set will be cheaper by two yuan.
The man thought for a moment, then suddenly walked towards a man standing next to him and said a few words in a low voice. When Chen Lishu saw the man, he pointed in her direction twice, and then the man standing out also nodded.
Soon the man walked to a few more stalls, and when he came back he asked for five sets of work clothes.
Chen Lishu suddenly realized that he had gone out to attract people.
After collecting the money and cloth tickets for five sets of clothes, Chen Lishu counted out five sets of clothes according to the sizes reported by the other party.
Chen Lishu was very happy that five sets of clothes were sold right after the store opened. At the same time, she also gained a lot of confidence. She felt that it would not take long for all the more than 20 sets of clothes to be sold out.
However, she was still too optimistic and stood there until noon. Not counting the five sets at the beginning, she only sold two tops and one pair of pants.
She had been standing outside for a long time, and even though she wore a lot of clothes, her feet were still frozen.
Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Chen Lishu simply picked up her bag and went home to eat.
After exiting the alley, I was about to cross the street when I suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards me.
He is tall and thin, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, fair skin and wearing metal-framed glasses. He is Nan Haitao, the manager of the department store.
After all, it was just a one-time encounter, so Chen Lishu subconsciously raised her scarf without wanting to say hello.
Just as he was about to pass by Nan Haitao pretending not to know him, he suddenly saw two people following him diagonally behind him, one on the left and one on the right. One of them was holding something as big as a palm and similar to tweezers, and was stretching it bit by bit towards Nan Haitao's pocket.
, but Nan Haitao didn't seem to be aware of all this.
As soon as Chen Lishu saw the actions of the two people, she knew that it was a gang crime. Once the victim found out that he had been stolen and wanted to resist, he would be immediately restrained by two people, one on the left and the other on the right. At that time, the theft would turn into a robbery. You have to resist.
If you get too fierce, you might get stabbed twice.
It was one thing not to want to say hello, but after all, she was someone she knew and had helped her buy a sewing machine. Chen Lishu could not remain indifferent.
Seeing that Nan Haitao had passed by her, and the man behind him had put his crime tools into his pockets, Chen Lishu stopped and pretended to react and said uncertainly: "Manager Nan?"
