The gunner nodded and directed the driver to row towards the wooden house.
Soon the ammunition ship docked, and Lin Yi took the people up, but before they got close, they smelled the smell of burning wood, which made Lin Yi a little confused, "It's too early to start cooking."
Lin Yi glanced into the yard through the fence and saw no one. Lin Yi shouted, "Fellow, we are the People's Liberation Army, please open the door."
Seeing that no one had come out for a long time, the first gunner glanced at Lin Yi and asked, "Have they moved in advance? After all, the villagers near the floodway will be forcibly moved, and this wooden house looks like an illegal construction. We generally don't do that here.
If a wooden house is granted a homestead site, even if a wooden house is built on the homestead, it will be considered a dangerous building."
When Lin Yi heard this, he was a little puzzled, "It shouldn't be. I can smell the smell of firewood. There can't be no one there. Come on, go in and take a look. Special treatment will be given in special circumstances. The flood is coming soon. No wonder we are rude."
After that, Lin Yi opened the wooden door and strode towards the wooden house. The wooden house was not big, with only one room. But what surprised Lin Yi was that after opening the door, the room was full of bacon hanging. In this season, obviously
It's not the season to make bacon.
Bacon, as the name suggests, is meat made in the twelfth lunar month. The twelfth lunar month is the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, and it is January in the solar calendar. It is only August now. What's going on?
Then Lin Yi saw two old men in their 60s and 70s sleeping on a wooden bed in the corner, so he cautiously stepped forward and called out: "Uncle and aunty, wake up."
When the uncle heard Lin Yi's words, he opened his eyes. When he saw a group of People's Liberation Army soldiers surrounding him, he quickly sat up and called out to the old woman next to him, "Old woman, wake up quickly. The People's Liberation Army is here. We should
Moved."
Lin Yi waved his hands repeatedly, "We are not here to urge you to move, we are here to clean up the river. We have been busy all night and want to find a place to shelter from the rain and sleep for a while. By the way, our people and the people from your village branch
, have you been notified that we are about to move? It’s not long before the flood discharge time. There are only about ten hours left, so we can’t delay it any longer.”
The uncle scratched his head and said, "We were notified. We were notified last night, so we killed all the pigs overnight and smoked them. You said that when the flood came, the pigs were washed away even if they were not drowned. Our small family raised
It’s not easy for a few pigs. Although the pigs haven’t grown up yet, if they are slaughtered and smoked, we can always avoid some losses, don’t you think?”
Lin Yi couldn't deny this. Such domestic pigs are definitely not insured. Once they die due to force majeure, they will lose. Even if the government will pay some money later, it will be a drop in the bucket, so
These pigs were all slaughtered and smoked. It can be seen that this uncle is very decisive in his work.
The uncle looked at the fire in the furnace and shouted to the old woman: "Go and stew a pig's head for the People's Liberation Army. They have worked hard all night and need to eat something nutritious."
Lin Yigang was about to wave his hand to refuse, but was stopped by a gunner, "Captain Lin, we can't eat domesticated pigs like this. This old couple definitely can't take away so much bacon, why don't we buy some with our own money?
They stew it, which will not only reduce their losses, but also give us a full meal. Besides, Captain Zhao and the others haven't eaten yet. The compressed biscuits we brought can only satisfy our hunger at most. If everyone can eat some
Pig head, then our combat effectiveness will definitely be improved."
Lin Yi didn't expect that the first gunner would actually say such a thing. He probably made a plan in his mind as soon as he saw the room full of bacon. If it were the troops led by Lin Yi, there would probably be no one from top to bottom.
He talks about eating bacon.
But the reserve force, a force organized from the masses, is indeed more full of fireworks and is indeed closer to the masses.
Lin Yi was convinced and nodded: "I agree."
Then, just as he was about to speak to the old couple, he was stopped by a gunner, "Uncle, we can't eat your meat for free. I'll pay you three thousand yuan. You can prepare a few pots for us. I'll let you go later."
My comrades also come to eat."
After the uncle heard this, he was obviously stunned. Three thousand yuan of pork would buy half of his house of pork. He had experienced floods more than once and twice. He knew that this was because the soldiers were pitying him and were afraid of himself.
You can't take away the pork, so you have to help yourself eliminate some of it.
Living by the river, he has experienced many floods and been helped by soldiers many times. He was not willing to take advantage of the soldiers, so he quickly waved his hand and said, "I have as much food as you want. I don't want your money."
"
The first gunner smiled and said: "Uncle, when we go on disaster relief missions, we all get meal subsidies. Not only do we have meal subsidies, we also have subsidies. For disaster relief like this, there is a lot of money to supplement us. Even if we don't spend any money,
Even if you eat meat, you have to spend money to eat it in a restaurant. Are you willing to let us spend that wasted money to eat it in a restaurant?
Besides, we usually haven’t had the opportunity to eat this kind of domestic pork. Now that we have the opportunity to eat it, I have to ask my comrades to come over and try it. If you don’t want the money, then we won’t eat it. The meat that can’t be taken away by then will be eaten.
It would be such a waste if it was washed away by floods."
The uncle couldn't resist the gunman, so he had to turn on his mobile phone to collect the payment. Then he looked at the old woman and said, "Take out all our best meat and cook it for the People's Liberation Army. Unfortunately, this is freshly smoked meat. The meat is not firm yet. If
If it can be dried for half a month, then stew the radish to make it more fragrant."
The first gunner drooled at the sight of the bacon, and looked at Lin Yi, "Captain Lin, let's go to sleep first. When we wake up, the meat will be stewed. Normally, you can't buy this meat for any money.
You can open your stomach and eat well later."
Lin Yi took out his mobile phone and said, "Let me pay for it. Three thousand yuan is not a small amount. It will definitely be difficult for you to afford it."
The first gunner curled his lips and said, "Captain Lin, you look down on our armed forces too much. As long as we go on a mission, our subsidies are huge. Last time we were stationed in the field for training, I was in charge of logistics procurement, including all kinds of meat."
The purchase cost tens of thousands of yuan. Now is the disaster relief period, and the stewed pork is to supplement the nutrition of the soldiers. This small amount of money was approved by my superiors at will, so I took the initiative. This kind of thing can not only take advantage of me, but also help others.
If you don’t do it, it’s for nothing!”
When Lin Yi heard this, he changed his mind about the first gunner. "I thought you were only good at shooting, but I didn't expect you to be so good at dealing with people."
The first gunner chuckled, "That's not true. I am a retired artilleryman. Before retiring, I was a first gunner. Although I have a job now after retirement, I have never failed in our reserve training twice a year.
Practice your artillery well. This artillery skill has now been engraved in your bones and cannot be thrown away."
