"Really? It's as big as an arm? I'm afraid it weighs seven or eight pounds, right? I've never seen such a big fish." A little soldier expressed doubts.
Li Weimin sneered: "You don't know what Dazhu said? He cut off the head and tail and finally cut it in half. Just listen to it like it's normal."
Wang Dazhu punched his chest and continued: "I haven't eaten fish for so long since I've been away from home. I almost forgot what fish tastes like."
"If you want to eat fish, you can ask your battalion commander."
A low voice came from behind, and Wang Dazhu waved his hand without looking back: "But pull it down, our battalion commander's face, I'm not telling you, is as cold as ice, and it can even freeze on a hot day.
Damn this guy, let alone eating in front of him, I can’t even say anything good when I see him.”
After Wang Dazhu finished speaking, he looked at the people around him who were squeezing as if their eyes were blinded by sand. He couldn't help but curiously asked: "What, you all have eye cramps?"
Li Weimin suddenly felt a headache and held his forehead. Facts have proved that a mallet is a mallet, and you can never expect him to be enlightened.
"Speaking of which, although our battalion commander is usually strict with us, I actually know that he is doing it for our own good. As the saying goes, steel is tempered, and I have never seen a more conscientious battalion commander than him in the entire battalion!" Wang Dazhu's expression did not change.
came another sentence.
Everyone who was originally waiting to watch the excitement opened their mouths slightly and froze on the spot.
Gu Xingdong: "As long as you know, it doesn't mean that I hurt you in vain."
Everyone: "..." This kind of love is a bit unbearable.
When Wang Dazhu heard Gu Xingdong's words, he quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed secretly. He finally got over it. Fortunately, he was smart enough at the critical moment, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Gu Xingdong glanced at everyone and asked, "Want to eat fish?"
Everyone suddenly became energetic, looked at each other, and said in unison: "I want to!"
"Lao Gu, I want it too." Wu Zheng couldn't help but join in the fun.
"Okay." Gu Xingdong nodded, and before he could continue, everyone cheered. They didn't expect that his battalion commander would agree so happily.
But what Gu Xingdong said next instantly poured cold water on everyone.
"Thirteen minutes. Whoever can compress these items on the training ground into thirteen minutes will have dinner covered by me."
"Thirteen minutes? I'm usually barely above the passing mark, so forget it."
"Although the time is much less than usual, I want to give it a try."
Gu Xingdong gave everyone half a minute to think, then raised his hand to interrupt the discussion: "Those who don't want to challenge stand on the right, and those who want to challenge stand on the left."
People moved one after another, and soon there were many people standing on both sides.
"Old Wu, you set the time." Gu Xingdong turned his head and said to Wu Zheng.
Ten minutes later, everyone dragged their feet back almost exhausted. Gu Xingdong looked at the three winners and his eyebrows moved almost invisible.
In normal training, it's good if one of them meets the standard occasionally. Today, there are three more. Okay, very good! "The training will be over in a while. Li Weimin, Wang Dazhu and Liu Qiang, you three will come with me."
Before the three of them could grin, Gu Xingdong continued: "Old Wu, write this down. Starting from tomorrow, these three people, together with those who abstained on the right, will clean the toilets for half a month."
The three of them were immediately dumbfounded.
"Why, battalion commander, why do you ask us to clean the toilet?"
"Yes, battalion commander, the three of us won."
Gu Xingdong: "One month!"
Wang Dazhu was anxious: "Batalion Commander, you have to give a reason..."
Before he finished speaking, his mouth was covered by Li Weimin next to him.
…
At home, Chen Lishu took the time to put the fish pot on the table. Cat King next to her smelled the smell and was jumping up and down anxiously.
"Didn't I just give you half a fish? Who told you to eat it so quickly?"
Chen Lishu scolded her with a serious expression: "This is not prepared for you. If you dare to touch it, you will never eat fish again in the future. Do you hear me?"
Gu Xingdong opened the door and came in. He saw a man and a cat standing at the table, facing each other, with a warm color in his eyes: "Is this cat making you angry again?"
"No, you don't know that this guy's appetite has been getting bigger and bigger recently, and he doesn't even look at how fat he has become. He doesn't realize it at all."
As Chen Lishu was talking, she looked up and found that Gu Xingdong did not come back alone, but was followed by a string of four people.
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
Li Weimin and Wang Dazhu shouted in unison, their voices loud and clear, as if they were shouting slogans.
"Sister-in-law, this is the dried sausage sent from home."
"This is a pastry from my hometown that my mother mailed to me. I want you to try it."
Chen Lishu looked at the things handed to her and felt a little embarrassed: "Come on if you want. Why are you so polite?"
"Brothers and sisters, you haven't even noticed this. They are still hoping to come back for food next time. You should just accept it quickly, otherwise they will have the nerve to speak."
Wu Zheng joked with a smile.
Gu Xingdong originally didn't plan to take him with him, but when he heard about eating fish, he shamelessly followed him.
"You guys eat first, and I'll fry two more dishes."
Originally one fish was enough for three people, but now it was definitely not enough for four more people. Chen Lishu invited everyone to sit down and then went to the kitchen.
Fortunately, there were still vegetables that Chen Liyuan had washed before. Chen Lishu cut the vegetables quickly and quickly fried two more vegetables.
After she and Chen Liyuan sat down, everyone started to use chopsticks. Because it was the first time to eat fish pot, everyone almost swallowed their tongues because it was so delicious, and they were full of praise for Chen Lishu's cooking skills.
"Are you tired? Let me clean up here. You can go back to the house and rest."
Seeing the messy cups and plates on the table, Gu Xingdong stood up consciously, called Chen Lishu and Chen Liyuan back to the room, and neatly rolled up his sleeves to clear the table.
"Okay then." Chen Lishu was really tired after a busy day, so she didn't refuse and asked Chen Liyuan to go back to the house together.
Time flew by and the day came when Zhou Bin came to the provincial capital by car. It was also the day he and Li Zhengxing agreed to go to the textile factory to pick up fabrics.
After explaining to Chen Liyuan early in the morning, Chen Lishu took the car and went straight to the city.
Zhou Bin wouldn't come over until the afternoon, and it happened that Chen Lishu and Wang Aixiang made another trip to the textile factory in the morning.
This time Li Zhengxing gave me ten pieces of poplin and twenty pieces of gauze.
There were a total of 60 pieces of fabric before and after. Chen Lishu spent nearly 6,000 yuan on it at once, and basically only had a few hundred yuan left in her hand. Fortunately, a batch of ready-made clothes was about to arrive, and she could get a lot back by changing hands.
Because there was a lot of fabric but few manpower, Chen Lishu decided to transport only forty pieces of serge and poplin fabrics back. The remaining yarn cards were sold directly like last time. No matter what, it was 20 cents cheaper per foot than in the store.
