This time the destination is the Production and Construction Corps.

The Production and Construction Corps is not a 100% military organization. Most of the time, it assumes more of the important responsibilities of "production" and "construction".

At that time, there were a total of 12 similar "production and construction corps" across the country, plus 3 "agricultural construction divisions".

The production and construction corps is directly managed by the higher authorities and has no affiliation with the local government.

It has a series of demilitarized units such as political and legal, culture and education, finance, commerce, foreign trade, and taxation.

It can be said that it is a relatively independent small social and economic system.

In addition, the production and construction corps is located in a peripheral area, so the possibility of being affected is relatively small.

Moreover, Li Yunlong's former subordinates held important positions in the Production and Construction Corps, so Lao Huang placed Li Yunlong there.

On the truck.

Li Weidong grasped the steering wheel with both hands, and while chatting with Tian Yu, he controlled the truck and sped toward the northeast.

Compared to Tian Yu, who was more talkative, Li Yunlong seemed a little quiet after answering a few questions from Li Weidong.

He looked at the receding scenery outside the window and sighed: "I didn't expect that I, Lao Li, would be a deserter one day. It's really embarrassing."

Li Weidong turned the steering wheel, bypassed an ox cart, and said with a smile: "I once said that knowing the male and guarding the female are the streams of the world. In other words, retreating is a better attack."

"I? I'm still a grandfather!" Li Yunlong widened his iconic cowbell eyes.

Li Weidong couldn't help but hold his forehead. Where is this?

Tian Yu glared back at Li Yunlong: "Weidong is talking about the father who wrote the De Jing, not your father. After so many years, I have asked you to study more, but you always say you are busy. Now you are embarrassed, right?"

With such a fiery temper, Li Yunlong couldn't admit defeat. He slapped the dashboard and said, "Don't worry about me, I, Li Yunlong, have become a coward this time."

Both Li Weidong and Tian Yu knew that Li Yunlong was feeling aggrieved, but they refused to talk to him, and the truck fell into silence.

It's just that the instrument panel offends whoever.——

Since there was no way to stay in a state-run hotel, Li Weidong had no choice but to park his truck on a small road in the countryside when it was getting dark.

There are small woods on one side of the path and a small river on the other, which is perfect for spending the night.

"Uncle, it's getting dark and it's not safe to drive at night. We have to spend the night here." Li Weidong opened the door and jumped out, pulling out the prepared tarp from the bed: "The location in the cab is too

It’s too small to accommodate so many of us, so we can only put up a tent for one night.”

Li Yunlong was born in 1910 and is now in his fifties. It is appropriate for Li Weidong to call him uncle.

"Camping in the wild, I'm good at this!" Li Yunlong was happy.

When he was fighting in the north and south, he often spent the night in the wild.

With the help of Li Yunlong, Li Weidong tied the four corners of the tarp to the big tree, cut two wooden stakes as roof beams, and then a simple tent was set up.

The children of Li Yunlong and Tian Gang seemed to be very interested in camping. After jumping off the truck, they gathered together and chatted.

"Zhao Shui, I've heard that it's very cold in the northeast. You have to carry a stick to go to the latrine."

"Don't scare me. I lived in the Northeast when I was a child."

"."

Li Weidong came down with a pot of gasoline. When he saw Li Yunlong looking at the children in a daze, he smiled bitterly and shook his head and walked over.

After talking all the way, he found that Li Yunlong's mind still had not changed.

Even if he goes to the Northeast, trouble will still arise according to his temperament.

Li Weidong took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Yunlong, lighting it with a match.

He took Li Yunlong's cigarette, turned the cigarette butt against the cigarette butt, and took a deep breath.

"hiss"

"call"

Returning the cigarette to Li Yunlong, Li Weidong looked at the children and said in a deep voice: "Brother Yunlong, look at how happy the children are together."

Li Yunlong nodded: "Yes, I really envy them. They are all at a vigorous age and will definitely be able to contribute to the country in the future."

Li Weidong said: "Have you ever thought about it, the reason why children can be carefree is because you, a big tree, help them hold up the sky.

If the big tree fell, they would have to face the cold wind.

Sometimes, the cold wind can freeze people to death."

"The cold wind can freeze people to death." Li Yunlong felt a chill in his heart and had a sob in his throat for a long time.

He is not that kind of brainless, otherwise he would not be sitting in the position of commander of the Coast Guard.

The reason why he persists is because he never takes his own honor or disgrace to heart.

But, the children

Li Weidong saw that the smoke in his hand had burned to the end, almost burning his hand without knowing it, and understood that he had listened.

Yes, everything that needs to be done has been done.

If Li Yunlong still can't figure it out, then there's nothing anyone can do.

Li Weidong stood up to prepare dinner. Tian Yu quietly came over to help: "Weidong, thank you."

As Li Yunlong's wife, she once felt that no one in this world could persuade Li Yunlong to bow his head.

She can't do it with Tian Yu, she can't do it with Zhao Gang, and she can't even do it with Chu Yunfei.

Unexpectedly, this little driver could change Li Yunlong's mind with just a few words.

Li Weidong smiled lightly, said nothing, and took out a bag of white-faced steamed buns from under his seat.

"Auntie, we're driving around outside and there's nothing delicious to eat. Let's eat steamed buns soaked in sugar water at night."

Soaking steamed buns in sugar water is a method invented by the driver.

Boil a pot of water, sprinkle in brown sugar, break the steamed buns into small pieces and throw them in.

After finishing the drink, I felt warm and happy all over.

It’s easy to make and you don’t even need to clean the pot.

So every time Li Weidong goes out, he likes to make steamed buns soaked in sugar water.

Tian Yu didn't expect to be able to eat brown sugar water and steamed buns in the wilderness, so naturally he nodded: "That's enough. If you have brown sugar to eat, the children will definitely like it."

Li Weidong saw Li Yunlong squatting there like a statue, and did not disturb Li Yunlong.

"Auntie, you watch the children while I go chop some firewood."

Carrying a machete, he entered the forest. There was a lot of dry firewood in the forest, and Li Weidong quickly chopped down a large bundle.

However, considering that he was camping at night and had to light a bonfire all night, he continued to chop with the machete.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of gunshots in the distance, startling the birds in the forest and flying away.

Li Weidong picked up two large bundles of firewood and quickly ran to the tent.

After seeing that Tian Yu and the children were all well, he felt relieved, threw away the firewood and asked, "What's going on? Who fired the shot?"

"Me!" A voice full of vicissitudes of life came from the distance.

I saw Li Yunlong walking out of the forest carrying a hare dripping with blood.

"I, Lao Li, never owe anyone any favors. I ate your white-flour steamed buns and gave you a hare as a gift."

Seeing the spark of hope shining in Li Yunlong's eyes, Tian Yu felt relieved.

The corners of her eyes were moist, so she secretly turned her head and wiped them with a handkerchief.

Li Weidong glanced sideways at Li Yunlong: "Old Li, how can a rabbit do it? Where are the children? Where is Tian Yu?"

Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, threw the rabbit to Li Weidong, turned around and entered the forest again.

The night was like a wild wolf quietly sliding down the mountain ridge, swallowing up all the sounds.

There was silence in the grove, only the sound of crackling firewood and sparks could be heard.

Li Weidong squatted in front of the bonfire with a crank in his hand.

There are four hares on the rocker.

Don't tell me, just wrap the end of the crank handle with rags and use it as a barbecue fork, it's just right.

The hare was licked by the bright red flames, dripping oil and emitting a rich fragrance.

Li Yunlong, who had just eaten a large bowl of sugar-soaked buns, couldn't help swallowing and said: "Little driver, I didn't expect you to be really capable. You can even get such a weird trick."

Li Weidong smiled: "Didn't you also find out the commander of the Seventh Division, Chang Naichao, by making the prisoners run in circles?"

Mentioning the past, Li Yunlong's eyes flashed with memories, and he said sincerely: "Chang Naichao's physical fitness was not good, and he was a coward when he was a soldier, but in theory he had a good idea, and I got a lot of good things from him.

"

Li Yunlong's greatest advantage is that he can turn other people's things into his own.

This is true for arms and equipment, and so is military knowledge.
