Chapter forty-ninth lured the commander
Zhu Xiangjun was very happy to receive praise from the company commander and instructor, but he didn't expect that when he went to the vegetable field the next day, he was surprised to find that he had lost a few particularly large tomatoes for no reason.
"Squad leader! Did someone steal this tomato?" Zhu Xiangjun was very angry when he looked at the tomato handles with only a few leaves left, thinking to himself, why is this so unethical? He is still a soldier, and he has no moral quality at all.
"Hey! It's more important to say, someone must have stolen it."
"Then! Who will that be!"
"I probably won't be a member of our company, because the members of the company cannot come out casually! Our vegetable field is quite close to the Chief Court. It must be some family members of the Chief Court." Li Chengming looked at the Chief Court, which was close to him and first listed it as a target of suspicion.
"So it's the family of the leader! Then forget it, even if we soldiers gave it to them!" Zhu Xiangjun thought that since he was the leader, what else could he be angry about?
"Hey! Zhu Xiangjun! You can't say that. If they say they want to taste it in front of us, it doesn't matter if we give it to him a few. But they are picking it on their backs. This is a steal. Can the leaders' family members steal their things at will!" Li Chengming seemed not to take these family members seriously.
"Then! What should I do? They have eaten it! Do you have to report it to the chief?" Zhu Xiangjun felt that Li Chengming was also making a big deal. Isn't it just a few tomatoes? Is it necessary to be so serious?
"No! We have worked hard to plant it ourselves, so how can we let others eat it casually! From today on, after we returned to the company in the evening and in the morning, you will watch the vegetable field for a while, otherwise you will be stolen by the time we pick it." Li Chengming took a closer look at the seductive tomatoes. Then he returned to the company.
From today on, Zhu Xiangjun has been going out early and coming back late every day. After the tomatoes are ripe, he will pick them and take them to the service department of the army to sell them for a good price.
After watching Zhu Xiangjun for a few days, he did not find anyone picking him. Once, some families from the Chief Court passed by their vegetable fields after get off work. Several middle-aged women stood there and looked at Zhu Xiangjun, and then left.
Zhu Xiangjun thought, it seemed that the squad leader guessed well, and some people must have stolen it. Now they saw someone watching here, so they were no longer here.
After a few days like this, Zhu Xiangjun saw that more tomatoes were ripe. The vegetable fields of the entire company were the most conspicuous of the tomatoes grown by Zhu Xiangjun. You can see bright red pieces from afar. Those small watermelon-like tomatoes are really mouth-watering.
That morning, Zhu Xiangjun and Li Chengming and others came to the vegetable field as usual. The company commander came over to look at the tempting tomatoes and said, "Zhu Xiangjun! Is it time to pick these tomatoes? This is the company that is about to make a fortune. This will definitely be sold for a lot of money!"
Zhu Xiangjun smiled and said, "Company Commander! It's time to pick these tomatoes, but there are still some that are not very red. Why not wait for tomorrow! If you pick them tomorrow, they will all be red."
"Okay! Since it was planted by you, you have the final say! I will pick it tomorrow!" The company commander smiled at Zhu Xiangjun and went to see the vegetable field of Squad 3.
In fact, Zhu Xiangjun explained that picking the day does not mean that it is necessary to pick it tomorrow. You think how much changes these tomatoes can change one night. At this time, he suddenly felt a little nostalgic about these special tomatoes that he had worked hard to grow. Now he wants to pick these beautiful and seductive tomatoes. He is really reluctant to let go. So he told the company commander that there are still some that are not mature. In fact, Zhu Xiangjun just wanted to appreciate these fruits of his own labor on the last day.
Li Chengming knew Zhu Xiangjun’s thoughts better, so he smiled at him and said, “Look at it quickly! These tomatoes will be at the service department tomorrow, and they will be at the dining table of the entire regiment and company soon.”
Zhu Xiangjun smiled and said, "Hi! I can't bear to bear anything. If I plant it, I just want to eat it!" He said this, but his eyes didn't leave, as if he was afraid that they would all fly.
Zhu Xiangjun was now admiring his tomatoes for the last time. At this time, he heard Li Chengming suddenly screaming: "Oh! Why did the regiment commander and political commissar come with a general? Could it be the commander?"
When Zhu Xiangjun heard Li Chengming say that the commander had come, he was also surprised. He quickly knocked on his tomatoes and looked at the roadside not far from the vegetable field.
Zhu Xiangjun was surprised to see the regiment commander and political commissar walking towards the vegetable field of their company with a middle-aged man in a moderate figure.
Zhu Xiangjun was still hesitating and wondering what to do. At this time, he saw Li Chengming running to the company commander quickly and shouting: "Company Commander! Hurry up! The commander is here to our vegetable field."
Hu Qiang was squatting in the vegetable field of Class 3, and the tomatoes they planted were like small cherries. They could not compare with Zhu Xiangjun's.
Hu Qiang became more and more angry as he looked at it. He was about to scold the third squad leader! Then he heard Li Chengming come to him and say nervously that the commander is coming.
Hu Qiang was stunned when he heard this. He thought he had heard it wrong. How could the commander come to the vegetable field? Not to mention that the commander and the commander had never come to their vegetable field!
Hu Qiang was about to say what you are talking nonsense after hearing this. But he had already seen the regiment commander and political commissar accompanying a majestic major general to strode towards the vegetable field of their company.
Hu Qiang looked closely and was shocked. Isn’t this the commander of the first army Zhu Xinfa?
Hu Qiang's surprise was extraordinary. He quickly wiped off his sleeves that he had just rolled up, and then fastened his moral buckle. He ran to the commander in standard running movements.
"Report to the commander of the army! All personnel of the command company of the Fourth Battalion of the Artillery Regiment of the First Division are working in the vegetable field. Please instruct, Company Commander Hu Qiang." Hu Qiang stood at attention now, respected a standard military salute and raised his confidence, and reported to the army commander loudly.
"Okay! Keep working!" The commander raised his hand slightly and returned a greeting.
After returning the gift, the commander came over and shook hands with Hu Qiang: "Hello! You are the company commander of the command company."
Hu Qiang said: "Yes! I am Hu Qiang!"
"Okay! Look at your vegetable fields! I just saw what your vegetable fields are planted from afar, a bright red area."
"Captain! It's the tomatoes we planted!"
"Are tomatoes so red? Take me to see."
"Yes" Hu Qiang quickly led the way and came to the front of the vegetable field of the fourth squad. The regiment commander and political commissar also followed.
Zhu Xiangjun and Li Chengming were looking at his beautiful tomatoes in the vegetable field. At this time, he saw a major general and the company commander and the political commissar coming to their vegetable field.
Li Chengming and Zhu Xiangjun quickly stood at the scene and stood at the commander Xiang greeted a standard military salute and shouted: "Hello, Commander!"
