"These are all small things, so it's no big deal?"
"The big thing is blind date. For ordinary people, that's the big thing." Tan Shuangxi said.
“If you hit the target, you’ll pass!”
"How can it be so fast!" Tan Shuangxi shook his head, "Let's talk about whether we are compatible first, and then talk about the betrothal gift. There are many tricks here."
"It's harder to find a wife than to get the first prize in the exam!"
"It's much better now than in the past two years. There are more women than before, and the bride price has also come down."
There are a lot of hot-blooded bachelors in the army, and they can't stop talking about women. Speaking of which, everyone wants to find a wife, but the price of marriage is beyond the reach of most people.
"It would be great if we could be discharged from the army in Guangdong. When we were in Shaoguan, all the young ladies and young wives around the station were very interested in us, and some even came to ask if they would like to stay. Alas!"
The speaker seemed to feel very sorry for it.
"Why don't you just stay?"
"Wouldn't he be considered a deserter if he stayed? If he were caught, he would be shot! But he is so brave! There was a soldier from the Joint Logistics Service who ran away with the woman, so we all started looking for him. After a month of searching, there was still no whereabouts. We have taken advantage of this guy!
"
"What's the bargain? I have to give up my status as a soldier for a wife. I don't care about it. Being a soldier is so happy, and you will have a good place to go after you retire. Isn't it better than being someone's son-in-law?"
"That's right. Even if you retire from the army, you will have a good future. Wouldn't it be nice to use the retirement pay to buy a family property?"
"If there is another war in the future, will you still be a soldier?"
"You will definitely get them if you recruit them. If you don't beat away the officers, soldiers and bandits, it will be your turn to eat rice and rice. Besides, do you dare to join the recruitment? Do you want to be a non-citizen?" said the horse sergeant.
He put his military cap on the soldier's head and said, "From now on, this team will depend on you."
Seeing that the topic was brought back, Tan Shuangxi glared at the indifferent soldier, and then continued to interrupt. "Bopu has become a fishery cooperative. If you don't want to join the cooperative, are you going to go it alone?" Because he often
Supporting agriculture and industry, Fu Bojun was very familiar with the organization of industrial and agricultural production.
"The cooperative was only joined by poor people who couldn't afford a boat. My family has not yet reached that level of poverty." Ma Shi said quite proudly. "My family and several uncles all have boats. Last time we sold the boats at home and bought them together.
I bought a big fishing boat, a longline fishing boat made in Hong Kong. At night, hundreds of hooks are lowered and towed, and hundreds of big fish can be caught in a night. There is also an ice cabin below, where a boat of ice can be loaded and the fish can be caught.
We immediately disembarked from the ice cabin. When we unloaded the cargo at the port, they were all solid." Seeing everyone gathered around and listening attentively, the sergeant couldn't help but feel proud and continued to brag, "The quality of the fish caught by ropes is better than that caught by nets.
It's much better. It's rated as top quality at the fish market and can be sold at a high price. It's much more profitable than pulling a net from a small boat." He was frothing at the mouth. "Just say that last time they went fishing for tuna, they were all three.
The tuna, which is more than a foot long, can be cut into pieces directly when you return to the dock. The fish meat is the same as the best beef, which is dark red. There is no need to cook it, just cut it off with a knife and eat it directly. The taste..." Everyone swallowed involuntarily.
saliva.
“Is it similar to Shunde Yusheng?”
Ma Shi rolled his eyes at him, "All the chiefs like to eat this kind of fish! The best tuna is bought by Room 39 of the Fishery Corporation."
Room 39 of the Fishery Company is under the jurisdiction of the general office, and it is self-evident where the goods it purchases go.
"Dip some light soy sauce and some grated mustard. It tastes as oily as beef, as fresh as sea shrimp, and elastic..."
This description made everyone salivate. They wished they could eat it early to satisfy their cravings.
"...There is a Japanese fish shop called 'Ba' in Dongmen City. The owner's name is Shota Kuchi. I heard somewhere that business in Hainan Island is easy, so I went to Dongmen City to open a shop.
He specializes in selling fish and fish. He often comes in and buys my products. He is very picky and even brags that he is an 'immortal'..."
"Immortal? What kind of immortal is he? A fish-cutting immortal?"
"It's hard to say whether it's immortal or not, but the craftsmanship is really good." Ma Shi boasted to his customers.
"Since I have been on the sea several times, there is no shortage of you on the ship?" Tan Shuangxi asked curiously.
"Of course there is no shortage of fishermen. The elders intend to use the money they earn plus loans to open a fishing company and buy two boats. The problem is that if you set up a company, you have to deal with the government - as you know, they are always old
Seniors are most afraid of seeing an official, even a 'cadre' in the Senate, so they urged me to retire and go back."
"I thought you would go back to be a fisherman, but I didn't expect you would become a big boss!" Someone was quite envious.
"Hey, you can't be called a boss, but he's also a fisherman." Ma Shi immediately became very humble.
Tan Shuangxi originally thought that the sergeant was just an honest man, but he didn't expect that this honest man was quite capable. He wore the same uniform when he was a soldier, so he felt that there was no difference. When it came to being discharged, everyone's qualities were different.
It’s different.
My family is not a poor family. My family's financial situation is at the upper-middle level among the company. But compared with the horse soldiers, it is obviously not good enough. In the end, my family is just digging in the dirt.
Just as I was feeling a little melancholy, suddenly a sharp whistle came from the hatch, followed by the loud voice of the sentry: "Salute to...sir...!"
As this sound entered the cabin, the company commander, platoon leader, and squad leader immediately jumped up like springs, shouting loudly: "Everyone gather!" Everyone reacted in an instant, jumped out of bed and stood up straight.
The grille door on the upper deck opened, and three neatly dressed figures came down from the stairs. Due to the backlight, their faces could not be seen clearly. But it seemed that they should be Battalion Commander Lin Fu. Tan Shuangxi stood barefoot beside the bed, standing at attention.
Salute, "Report to Major! The company and platoon are resting, please give instructions."
"Take a break!" Lin Fu approached the narrow corridor, and the nearby soldiers quickly retreated to make way. Lin Fu walked around the cabin to confirm that there were no prohibited activities, and quickly gave the order:
"Everyone will sort out the housekeeping, and after breakfast we will land at Bopu Port for a short rest. After lunch, the entire battalion will march back to Majiaobao and stay on board the ship in Zichong."
After Lin Fu gave the order to the company commanders, he turned around and left the cabin. The moment he got out of the cabin door, many soldiers heard him laughing to himself, "It's still dipped in soy sauce."
After the battalion commander left, the entire cabin became busy. Everyone was busy with personal hygiene while joking about the sergeant, "Just think about it, eat fish without dipping it in vinegar and soy sauce."
The sergeant was very dissatisfied and argued: "The battalion commander must have never eaten it. All the commanders eat like this!"
At this time, another order was sent, the deck was opened, and each company could go on the deck to wash and ventilate.
There was a small cheer in the cabin immediately. Because of the bad sea conditions, they had not been on the deck for two days, and they were all exhausted.
People rushed to put on their clothes and shoes, and went onto the deck with toiletries.
The weather outside is great. Although there is still a thin mist floating in the distance, the sea is clear and blue. The slightly salty breeze blows across the deck of the T800, washing the bodies of the soldiers and expanding their hearts.
As if it had been washed.
Hundreds of ship ropes were shaking in the wind, making creaking noises, because not all the sails in the wind direction were hung up, but the dozens of meters high masts and the thousands of square meters of sails hung on them were in the air.
The soldiers still seemed to be a formidable presence.
There were already many people on the deck, most of them wearing the standard white undershirts worn for sleeping. Some people washed their faces with towels wetted with spoonfuls of hot water poured out by the chief planner. Some people had toothbrushes stuck in their mouths, and white foam came from the corners of their mouths.
It keeps flowing down.
There were people squatting on the crossbars set up on both sides of the ship. They all took off their pants and pulled the ropes to think about life. This peculiar and convenient mode can only be carried out when the weather is fine. Tan Shuangxi disliked the smell, so he squeezed all the way to the bow of the ship.
Just started brushing my teeth.
There is no restriction on the use of fresh water on the ship - after all, it is a coastal voyage, but there are many people, and many times they cannot go on the deck. Many soldiers simply do not brush their teeth or wash their faces, chewing gum every day as an alternative. Tan Shuangxi also made do with this for two days, and today he regardless
You have to clean yourself well no matter what.
From the bow, you can see the entire fleet: three T800s and three escorting single-masted patrol boats, which are cutting through the waves. The masts are like forests and the sails are like clouds. Just looking at them makes you feel very majestic and majestic.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, the sound of a cannon was heard in the distance, and then the sound of cannons was heard one after another.
The soldiers on the deck couldn't help but were stunned: This place was already close to Lingao, and the Qiongzhou Strait had long been ruled by the Senate. How could such a blind thief come here to seek death?
"It's a gun salute!" Xiao Liu, the messenger from the battalion headquarters, was well-informed and heard something from the rhythmic sound of gunfire. "It's the navy coming to greet us!"
As the ship moved forward, the fog gradually dissipated, and a row of blurry bow outlines could be seen a little further away, as well as rows of mast tops further away. Most of the army soldiers had never seen this kind of posture, and each of them silently
He stood silently, staring straight ahead. There was silence on the deck, and he could hear the waves crashing against the side of the ship, as well as the hunting wind of the morning star flag on the bow of the ship.
Suddenly, the sun tore a hole in the clouds, golden sunlight immediately enveloped the ocean, and the sea fog disappeared almost instantly. More than a dozen single patrol boats were approaching in a column, with sails and masts like a forest, and they were imposing.
.The morning star flag at the top of the mast is flying high.
The patrol boat fired a salute as it moved forward, and the ships of the convoy also began to fire salutes. The rumble of gunfire resounded over the Qiongzhou Strait, and clouds of white smoke filled the air. The soldiers cheered together.
The sailor standing at the top of the mast suddenly shouted loudly to Lin Fu on the bridge: "Major! The Qiongzhou Strait detachment has sent you a semaphore!"
He stared at the ship coming from the opposite side and shouted out word by word, "The Navy Channel Detachment salutes the heroic Army soldiers and welcomes home."
