The War of Resistance

With a "squeak" door sound, Shang Zhen entered the dark kitchen, and then he saw the veteran in filthy military uniform squatting on the ground smoking a cigarette.

The old soldier is also an old man, and the old man smoked dry tobacco with a one-foot-long copper pipe pot. The room was very warm, but the hot breath was mixed with the choking smell of smoke, as if this was the real truth in the world. taste.

The average life expectancy of Chinese people nowadays is not high, that is, about forty years old, but the creases on this old man's face show that he is much older than Wang Laobing, who is in his forties.

Naturally, Shang Zhen knew this veteran, because he was the cooking squad leader of this company.

Shang Zhen glanced across the room, and there was no food on the long row of simple tables.

"Uncle, do you always leave food for me?" Shang Zhen asked the veteran respectfully.

The veteran Kaba closed his eyes and didn't speak. He just pointed his cigarette pot at the cauldron on the stove, and continued to smoke.

Shang Zhen ran towards the cauldron, and grinned again when he lifted the half-semicircular wooden lid, he felt the soreness on his arm.

As far as the current pot lids have iron pot lids, they are all made of wood mortise and tenon.

This is a traditional craftsmanship of Chinese carpenters. They do not use a single nail throughout the process, and the furniture they make is extremely strong, even the wooden towers that are tens of meters high.

But the firmness is solid, but it is also relatively thick, especially the lid of the pot is always on the pot, even if it is wet, how can it not sink?

It's just that hunger will naturally overcome the soreness and pain. After a while, Shang Zhen was already sitting at the long and narrow table alone and started eating.

The rice is a small pot of sorghum rice, and the dish is stewed kohlrabi and potatoes.

The so-called kohlrabi is also called Gedabai in the Northeast, and cabbage in the south. This kind of vegetable tastes like pig food after being stewed.

There is no way to do this, because kohlrabi has the highest yield and the cheapest price among the commonly used vegetables.

But Shang Zhen couldn't control that much, he was really hungry, and after wolfing down the meal, his flat stomach finally bulged.

Shang Zhen stretched out his hand to touch his chubby belly, and at the same time felt his ribs fanned, alas, when will I gain weight?

After he was full, Shang Zhen hurriedly went to the sink to clean the dishes and put them back where they should be.

When everything was over, Shang Zhen still didn't forget to bow to the veteran who was still smoking in "Bada" and "Bada", and said: "Thank you, uncle!"

The veteran waved his pipe again to express his thanks.

At this time, Zhang Zhencai sat back at the long table and took out the folded letter.

He opened the letter, and then carefully looked at the 4832 characters written on it.

Shang Zhen still knew these characters, so he naturally understood the meaning.

He didn't know the word "Japanese pirates" at first, but later Chen Hanwen also said the word "Japanese pirates". For this reason, Shang Zhen asked Chen Hanwen for advice. According to Chen Hanwen, Japanese pirates are a derogatory term for the Japanese.

Shang Zhen looked at those words, and Li Yajuan's round and pure face appeared in front of his eyes again.

But then he smiled and shook his head, folded the letter again and put it back in his pocket.

Regardless of whether it's Hou Wangshan or Qian Chuan'er, everyone booed and said that the female student came to see him, but Shang Zhen really didn't take it seriously.

First, he doesn't think he has anything to do with Li Yajuan.

Second, he doesn't like the powerless feeling of female students. He still likes the thick waist and round buttocks in the countryside. Such a physique can work and give birth to children!

Thirdly—

But when Shang Zhen just realized his third reason, the veteran's voice sounded behind him: "Little Gazi, why don't you read the love letter?"

When Shang Zhen turned his head, the veteran was already standing behind him, catching his eyes there.

The old man didn't know how to be a soldier, he was still the squad leader of the cooking squad, but he had a problem with Kabbah's eyes.

The so-called Kabbah eyes refers to the blink of an eye.

Normal people would blink under normal circumstances, but the veteran blinked significantly more than others, so that Hou Wangshan chewed the veteran's tongue behind his back and said, look at that old Deng's eyes in that Kabbah every day. It got stuck like that!

"What love letter? It's just people expressing their gratitude to me." Shang Zhen smiled, and at this time Shang Zhen realized that Li Yajuan sent him a letter.

"Then why don't they write letters to others, if they have to write to you, then they still fall in love with you." The veteran laughed.

"I can't want someone else." Shang Zhen said again, and this is the third reason why he just realized that he can't be with Li Yajuan, "We are soldiers who fight, and we will die if we die." If she is dead, she is still a big girl with yellow flowers, isn't that harmful?"

"Well, you little brat is different from others, you are kind!" The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard Shang Zhen's words, and then praised him approvingly.

As soon as the old man praised him, Shang Zhen became shy again.

Shang Zhen got up to leave, but only then did he realize that the old man had no intention of letting him leave now.

"I heard from Old Mao Wang that you went out to practice your skills, so tell me what you did?" The old man asked Shang Zhen again.

"I haven't practiced anything, I just want to practice my strength, and practice aiming and bayonet fighting." Shang Zhen replied, and then he suddenly realized something.

He had heard from Li Fushun that the company commander, platoon leader, and squad leader in a company were all veterans, so they all had real skills.

And other people with real skills are in the cooking class.

It should be said that the cooking class is definitely a good job in a company. When others go to the front to shoot and fight with bayonets, under normal circumstances, the cooking class is not available.

But what kind of person can enter the cooking class? Even the relatives of the company commander may not be able to do it, but they are all veterans with extremely deep combat experience.

When you are old and qualified, you don't like to fight in the front. You are still in the army and you are used to it, so you will naturally enter the cooking class.

Could it be that the old man in front of me also has this ability?

Shang Zhen thought about it, and his expression naturally changed. He blurted out and asked, "Uncle, what skills can you teach me?"

"Ha!" The old man was immediately amused by Shang Zhen's words.

"I can't teach you big things, but I can tell you little things." The old man laughed.

"Then I'll call you Master from now on!" Shang Zhen's reaction was quick.

"Yes, don't be my apprentice! I don't have any tricks to teach you. What I can teach you is very simple, but it requires hard work!" The old man replied.

"That's fine, I'll learn whatever you keep teaching me." Shang Zhen followed suit.

In fact, the old man didn't need to say it, Shang Zhen also understood that he wanted to recognize someone as a master, but they really might not want him as an apprentice.

The so-called "teacher and apprentice are like father and son", there is another saying that "learn from apprentice, starve to death from master".

China is a small peasant economy society.

What is craft? Craftsmanship is the guy who eats!

Skills are not burdensome, only with skills can you earn money and support your family.

If a craftsman wants to pass on his craft to his apprentices, he must choose a good character.

After the apprentice has learned the craft of the master, when the master is old, he will die for the elderly. It is really no different from his own son. This is the traditional Chinese society.

Shang Zhen's father was a carpenter. Although the carpentry work was not the best, it was still handicraft work, so Shang Zhen naturally understood the reason.

"I'm not afraid of hard work. I always want to kill a few more Japanese to save my own life." Shang Zhen expressed his opinion to the old man.

Note: Lao Deng, curse words in Northeast dialect, similar to old things.
