He said goodbye to the fourth squad leader, then went to the cooking squad to tell him about leaving pig trotters for the third company commander, and then immediately rushed to the logistics warehouse.
When we got to the warehouse, Xiao Zhu had already started carving. Lin Yi was very curious about how this thing was made, so he kept watching. Sometimes he didn't understand something well and it was hard to ask. He could only ask for advice during his free time while eating.
Xiao Zhu.
Although Xiao Zhu is young, he is an excellent carpenter and has a good feeling for Lin Yi. If Lin Yi had not asked for leave from the company commander for help, he would not have had time to carve these things.
Because he had three full days, Xiao Li put a lot of thought into carving. This also made Lin Yi suddenly realize that there are so many carving techniques.
Just when Xiao Zhu finished carving the last stroke.
A voice suddenly came from Lin Yi's head.
Ding, learn Carpenter Zhu’s wood carving successfully and unlock the woodworking skills.
Award 1 carpentry skill point.
Carpentry: 1 point (as a logistics soldier, how can I not tinker with tables, chairs and benches? Although the technology is relatively rough, the design is reasonable and quite practical).
Ding, the task of sorting out the invention tools is completed, you will be rewarded with 1 invention point, and you will unlock the professional skill, 'Communication'.
Communication: 0 points (can only understand the instructions of the assembly number).
1 unused invention point.
The sounds came frequently, and Lin Yi suddenly felt that there were many more details of Xiao Zhu's working methods in his mind. He turned his wrist and felt a similar feeling.
Let me go, am I stealing from my master?
He quietly glanced at Xiao Zhu. Xiao Zhu was still immersed in Mu Niu's works and couldn't extricate himself. Then Xiao Zhu suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Yi. Lin Yi was staring at Xiao Zhu. Unexpectedly, the two of them suddenly met each other's eyes.
.
Lin Yi was startled and quickly looked away.
Xiao Zhu looked nervous and whispered: "Assistant Lin, can I ask you for a favor?"
Lin Yi felt a little unreasonable, "Just tell me."
Xiao Zhu touched the wooden cow and said, "Although the quality of the wood used to carve the wooden cow is very average, I still hope to use tung oil to maintain it. This may be the only work I can keep in the army. I don't want it to be so fast."
It will rot and be destroyed.”
"So can you please help me buy a bottle of tung oil? I can oil it during my weekend break, so as not to delay normal training."
Lin Yi thought it was something. Isn't this just a piece of cake? He immediately patted his chest and said, "Of course it's no problem. I've been watching you do it for three days. This is a little bit of my hard work. Don't worry, we'll wait until the troops withdraw their defenses."
Sometimes, I stopped by the hardware store to buy a bottle."
When Xiao Zhu saw Lin Yi agreed, he immediately took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it over with both hands, "Thank you, Assistant Lin."
Lin Yi was not willing to ask for money, "Take it back. You are a private and your monthly allowance is less than a thousand yuan. This money is not enough for you to buy soda. Keep it."
"Although I'm still an intern, I'm in my fifth year of military service this year. My salary is five times less than yours, and tung oil only costs a few dozen yuan. I don't care about this small amount of money."
This is not Lin Yi's bragging. Although the monthly allowance is only over 5,000 yuan, it is nothing in today's society.
However, the army provides food, clothing, and housing, and uniform distribution of clothes, shoes, and hats. Apart from a supermarket, there is no place for consumption in the entire camp, so there is no way to spend money.
And he is only 23 years old now. It is already a lot to have such a salary. Besides, it is still 13 months of salary in a year. Regardless of how long he has not worked, he has already saved a lot of money.
Seeing that Lin Yi refused to accept it, Xiao Zhu took it back and then asked: "Assistant Lin, I see that you are also very interested in carpentry. In this case, I will ask your family to mail you a set of carving tools for carpentry."
Well, it can be regarded as a favor to you. If you hadn't asked for leave for me, this work would never have been completed."
Lin Yi hurriedly waved his hand. It wasn't that he didn't want this set of tools. He was from a family of carpenters and the tools must be good. But Lin Yi himself was stealing from others and was a bit unreasonable. How could he ask for other people's things?
However, I was afraid of hurting Xiao Zhu's heart by refusing directly, so I simply said: "Comrade Xiao Zhu, who do you think I am? I am asking for leave because I feel that art cannot be buried, but I don't want to take advantage of your favor."
When Lin Yi said this, Xiao Zhu lowered his head in shame, "It's because I have lowered my consciousness. When I was in society, I thought everything was about maintaining interests. But it was only when I got to the army that I really understood that everyone
My feelings are so pure."
Suddenly there was applause from outside, and the instructor's figure appeared, "Xiao Lin, that's good. We care about art but not human kindness. Our army should maintain this purity."
Lin Yi quickly saluted, "The instructor is here."
The instructor touched the wooden cow and said, "It's not okay if I don't come. I heard from others that you are getting a souvenir and you haven't been out for three days."
Lin Yi thought that the instructor was here to criticize him, so he quickly lowered his head and said, "Sorry, I have neglected the logistics."
The instructor shouted, "You haven't neglected your work. I think the cooking class is well managed and organized. I came here mainly to take a look at this wooden cow. This wooden cow is very well made and has words engraved on it, Xiao Lin.
, explain to me what this wood means."
Lin Yi said quickly: "In ancient times, in order to suppress floods, people would sink iron oxen. And this wooden ox is likened to our People's Liberation Army to resist floods."
The instructor nodded, "The meaning is very good, but I have to explain one thing. In ancient times, the iron cow to control the river was superstitious. And our People's Liberation Army's fight against floods is a real victory of manpower. We have put in so much effort, sweat and blood, and the effect is
Far better than an iron ox."
Lin Yi nodded repeatedly, "I know this, that's why I used the wooden ox."
The instructor was very satisfied with the carving of the wooden cow. After admiring it for a while, he looked at Xiao Zhu and asked, "Did you carve this pattern?"
Xiao Zhu agreed, "Yes, but due to time constraints, the carving is not very fine. However, the wood does not allow the carving to be too fine. It cannot withstand it."
The instructor seemed to have found a treasure, "The Propaganda Department is still short of manpower. I think you should go there to report. It just so happens that you can also make full use of your abilities. It would be too wasteful for such a good carving skill to remain in the grassroots army.
Already."
Xiao Zhu's face was full of surprise, "Really?"
Lin Yi tugged at him quickly, "How could what the instructor said not be true?"
The instructor waved his hand and said, "It is the rule of our army to make the most of everyone's talents. We cannot bury your skills."
Then he looked at Lin Yi and said, "Xiao Lin, is your cooking team ready? After returning to the station tomorrow, you will take people to the service support camp."
Lin Yi's cooking team is ready. In fact, there is no need to prepare. The cooking team is exhausted from working every day, so they can't be pulled out for training. Besides, it is not very useful to be taken out for training.
Anyway, they stay at the rear and cook, and at most they deliver meals to the front. This can only be done by adapting to circumstances at the time and taking one step at a time.
