The certificate and medal were awarded to Gu Chang’an, “You must continue to work hard.”

Gu Chang’an smiled, no matter what hard work, he has completed his glorious mission, and he no longer needs to rely on his family to eat good food. No, no, no, he doesn’t want to do those tiring jobs again. He wants to eat well, drink well, and sleep well. When he goes home in the future, he can bring some back to his family.

After the ceremony, everyone looked at Gu Changan with envy. It was an appearance in front of the big leader, and the awards were given by the big leader himself. It was really an honor.

This honor can last a lifetime.

Originally, they wanted to hear Gu Changan brag about it, but he didn’t say a word, as if it wasn’t a big deal.

Li Xiaohui carried his pitiful medals and certificates, leaned close to Gu Changan, and said, “Gu Changan, when did you become so good?”

Gu Changan was about to go back and pack his things, he heard that all companies will be notified soon, and he will go to his advanced company as soon as possible. Hearing Li Xiaohui’s words, he said calmly, “I’ve always been this good, but you didn’t realize it. Comrade Li Xiaohui, as a soldier, we must have good eyesight.” After speaking, he went to pack his things in a daze.

“…” Not only I didn’t find out, but your whole family didn’t find out! The whole county has not been found!

In the afternoon, each company commander of the recruitment company sent a list to the squad leaders in his company and went to each company. Of course, not many people went to the company this time, only those outstanding soldiers were assigned, and the rest had to continue training.

Because the chiefs are very dissatisfied with the performance of these new recruits, they have to continue to practice for a while before assigning them, or else they will hold back the veterans.

The assigned person screamed happily.

Gu Chang’an felt very fortunate that he was really smart, knowing that he would enjoy the blessings after suffering first. Now it’s finally his turn to enjoy himself. Otherwise, he would have to train hard and eat hard flatbreads with these unlucky guys!

This time, Li Xiaohui and Gu Changan were not divided into a company. He was assigned to the third company. It is also a company with a relatively high chance of combat in normal times. As for Gu Chang’an and the other two who had better grades in the competition, they were all assigned to the vanguard company. Company Commander Lian Ge happily came to lead the people.

Although they look down on recruits, no matter how good a company is, it needs fresh blood. This time the chief greeted him and a very good seedling was assigned to his company. Let him train well, but don’t lose it. Train for a while before following the veterans to the front.

Even the leader said it was a good seedling, but how good will it be?

The first time he saw Gu Changan, he was a little skeptical, “Are you Gu Changan?”

“Reporting to the company commander, I am Gu Changan, from the third squad of recruits.” Gu Changan straightened his back and reported.

“Look very energetic. Go back and practice and see what you can do.”

Gu Changan: “…” What do you mean?

A three-wheeled motorcycle was pulled directly into the company, driving fast all the way. Gu Changan’s heart was bubbling with beauty, and the excitement about going to a better life was simply indescribable. So, from the beginning to the end, he has been silent. Instead, the two soldiers next to him were chatting excitedly.

Company Commander Ge looked at the performance of the three people and felt that the first place should be really different. Look at this calmness, he is no different from a veteran.

When they got to the place, they will be assigned to classes. Company Commander Ge directly divides them into classes according to their grades, Classes one, two, and three. Gu Changan was assigned to the first class.

At this time, Gu Changan looked at the dilapidated houses and the wounds on the faces of some veterans and began to feel inexplicably uneasy.

Several veterans heard that he was number one and that he would be a good comrade in arms in the future. They enthusiastically dragged them to arrange a place to live together. When they arrived in the dormitory and assigned Gu Changan a place to live, everyone started bragging.

“You guys are really good. If you come to our troops, there will be many opportunities in the future.”

Gu Changan asked, “What kind of opportunity?”

“Opportunity to fight, hehe, some neighbors in the border always like to mess around. The older ones can’t come here, but the younger ones can be teased from time to time. When you are done training, I will take you there. The company commander said that he would take you to see blood sooner.”

“…” Gu Changan’s face turned pale.

Another veteran squeezed the previous one away, and then pointed to his missing ear, “See, I worked with old M back then. Someone knocked out my ear. I knocked out the other person’s nose. Hahaha, I earned it.”

“…!!!”

Another person came up and said, “What’s the matter, I just blasted off the opponent’s arm last time. If it hadn’t been for a missed shot, I could have blown off half of the enemy’s head. Gu Changan, follow me from now on, and I will definitely teach you how to blow people’s heads…Hey, why are you crying?”

Gu Changan looked at them with his mouth pursed, and the tears that hadn’t fallen for a long time couldn’t stop falling again.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he quickly wiped his tears, “I miss my family. They don’t know I’m here…” If they knew, they would definitely regret sending him out. A group of ruthless guys!

The bragging veteran patted him on the shoulder and smiled, “I was the same at the beginning. I was very excited after coming here, and I feel very honored. I thought about how happy my family would be if they knew about it. I can’t say anything, and I feel very uncomfortable. ut don’t worry, you should be able to go back this Spring Festival. You are a recruit and the first place. After joining our company, we will let you go back…” After all, you will go to the frontier to fight after you come back, so you have to go back and meet your family.

Of course, this is a military secret and cannot be said.

Finally, when it was time for dinner, Gu Changan cheered up and went to eat. Thinking that it’s still early anyway, maybe when it’s his turn, the world will be peaceful.

After arriving at the cafeteria, he finally ate a meal of brown rice with two slices of meat…not the big white rice and big white noodles he imagined…but it was much better.

“When you go on a mission in the future, you will be given a good meal. I really envy those who go out.” Some veterans sighed while eating. “Go out for a stroll and come back, you can still eat delicious food, and eat meat every now and then. You know, they went to the Tibetan area and roasted a whole sheep every once in a while!”

Gu Changan’s mouth watered and then took a bite of the sliced ​​meat. Thinking of roasting whole sheep, he instantly felt that his thin pork slices had no taste at all.

After eating and resting for a while, they started training. It was completely different from the previous recruit training. These people were carrying a lot of things on their backs, their feet were tied, and they had to carry long guns in their hands, and then they started running…

Behind them, Company Commander Ge yelled, “Does everyone hasn’t eaten yet?! If this is a march to fight, with your speed, you haven’t arrived yet after the battle is over. Everyone runs and fights with bayonets later. The worst ones won’t eat, and the ones who perform well will eat big meat buns!”

A group of people yelled while running.

Gu Chang’an: “…” I really miss my mother…

At the old Gu’s house in the county town, Mother Gu was looking for clothes in her room.

Two daughters-in-law helped to find it together.

“Mom, don’t you take it too seriously? It’s nothing if people just come to have a look.” The eldest daughter-in-law said.

Mother Gu looked at her blankly, pouted, and said, “How can this work? Our Chang’an is not at home. I am representing Chang’an’s face. Besides, after reading so much, the conditions of this one are pretty good. What should I do if I like it? We have to make others like our family too.”

Eldest Sister-in-law Gu and Second sister-in-law Gu looked at their mother-in-law’s posture and felt a bad premonition in their hearts.

After deputy county magistrate Gu came back in the evening, he heard that a woman would come to visit tomorrow. He said, “So soon? Didn’t Chang’an not back yet?”

He doesn’t understand these things about women’s homes at all.

Mother Gu said, “It’s all like this now. After the woman came to the house to check the conditions, she will feel that our house is suitable. When our Chang’an comes back, we would take Chang’an to their house to see each other. This was proposed by them. I think it is very good.” That’s right. They have high demands, which means that the girl in the family is really good.”

“What are the conditions?” Deputy County Magistrate Gu asked.

His eldest daughter-in-law hurriedly handed over the small book. Deputy county magistrate Gu took it over and took a look at it. The more he looked at it, the stranger he felt. “Looking at the conditions, why do I feel that it is so familiar? It can’t be the one I’ve seen…”

Gu Ma immediately said, “When did you meet? How is the person, and how is the family?”

Deputy County Magistrate Gu smiled, “If it’s really that family… it’s okay. The main reason is that the family is harmonious, and the girl is really well-raised. Her reputation in the team is also very good.”

Mother Gu was upset, “It’s so good yet you didn’t tell me before!”

Deputy County magistrate Gu also had a headache about his wife’s temperament, saying that the wind is the rain, and always like a child. He coaxed, “I’m on a business trip, where would I have time to think about that? Let’s talk about it tomorrow. If it’s not suitable, let’s talk about something else.”

The old Su family of the Yellow River production team is holding a meeting.

That’s right, from top to bottom, including Er Bao also participated.

“Tomorrow, Qing’er and I are going to someone else’s house. The eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law will also be going with us. Dress up neatly, and don’t shame our Qing’er.”

Su Aiguo, the eldest of the three brothers was not happy. Isn’t it too fast to meet each other? His sister is still so young. Why is she getting married?

The children were not happy either. If their aunt leave, who would give them dried sweet potatoes? Who will give them egg custard? Grandma will be reluctant to use eggs.

The eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are quite happy. What an honor for their sister-in-law to marry into a cadre family.

As for being reluctant… what is there to be reluctant about? Women have to get married and marrying a good family is a serious matter.

Regardless of the reaction of the whole family, Gao Xiulan made arrangements directly. The only thing that makes her regret is that she didn’t make the new clothes earlier, so she won’t be able to wear them tomorrow.

In the evening, Su Qinghe went back to the room and lay down for a while. She then went into the system’s kitchen, took out the needle and thread, and start making clothes.

She just made clothes, so she made this slowly. But this time the time was too rushed, so the clothes were not finished yet. Fortunately, there is a kitchen in the system, hehehe, there are lights in it. Very convenient.

She sews the remaining sleeves. Su Qinghe looked at the finally decent dress and was very satisfied. With two skill points, the clothes she made not to mention the beauty but at least it is wearable. In addition, she had been practicing stitches all the time, and her hands were sharp, and the stitches were still very neat.

“Ding… The sewing task is completed, and you will be rewarded with 1 sewing skill point and 5 feet of cotton cloth.”

“I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It’s when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do.”
