Chapter 180 Military Uniforms
After giving the old farmer an idea, I left the military camp and headed for the Hong family.
The Hong family lives in Boshengfang. The primary and middle schools where Hong Guolinian and I are both located at the junction of Anminfang and Boshengfang, very close to both sides. There are several schools in that area, and most of the students in the school come from Anminfang and Boshengfang.
When I passed by Xianming College, I stood at the gate and looked inside. The old man who was watching the door saw an officer wandering around the school gate, he took the initiative to talk to him. I recognize this old man. Every time he went to and from school, he would patrol outside the school gate and see him every day. But the old man definitely didn't recognize me, otherwise he would not have talked about it for a few words, and repeatedly emphasized that the students of Xianming College were all obedient and never interacted with strange people.
I smiled and said to him, "I used to be a student from Ming Academy, but later I dropped out of school and became a soldier, but the old man didn't believe it." I asked him why he didn't believe it, and he said timidly that if he dropped out of school and joined the army, the family was poor. The poor family was a soldier. How could he be a high-ranking official at such a young age? I looked down at the dark green uniform of the school officer and laughed in silence.
The military uniforms of the Daxian 6th Army are divided into three levels, namely the soldier uniform, the officer uniform and the general uniform. The soldier uniform is the uniform worn by soldiers and soldiers, and the style is exactly the same, except that the soldiers carry shoulder seals and the soldiers have different seals. The soldiers' uniforms of the regular legion are grass green, while the military uniforms of the town army are yellow-green.
There are two types of officer uniforms, one is the lieutenant uniform and the other is the school uniform. The lieutenant uniforms and the school uniforms of regular corps are green. The color of the lieutenant uniforms is darker than the grass, and the school uniforms are dark green. The lieutenant uniforms and the school uniforms of the town army are yellow, the lieutenant uniforms and the lieutenant uniforms are the same color, and the school uniforms are dark yellow.
There are also two types of generals, including generals and marshals. The town is the largest organization of the town army, that is, the highest rank of the town army is the level of the Grand Corps. Only regular corps and officials who serve in the Ministry of National Defense can obtain the rank of generals and marshals, so the town army does not have the rank of generals.
The generals are not unified by the army. Only the prescribed styles are required, and the general and the marshal need to spend money to design and make them. The prescribed colors of the generals are gray, green, yellow and white. Only the marshals can use white, and the generals can only use gray, green and yellow. It is worth mentioning that gold is also counted as yellow. Many generals wear bright and golden general uniforms, which look very glamorous.
Ordinary people do not recognize military ranks, but they recognize colors. My dark green outfit is obvious at first glance. Logically, officers of my level usually bring guards when they go out. One is for safety and the other is for convenience. But I was promoted today, let alone guards, and there are not even a small soldier under my command, so I can only wander around alone.
After being told by the old man, I realized that wearing this outfit would be very eye-catching in the market. This period of time was a mess. I walked around without even a companion. If I was beaten or shot, or died in a black gun, then everything I had done before would be in vain.
Fortunately, the Hong family is not very far from school, and I carry a gun on my body. The most important thing is that I have the intuition to avoid danger. No matter what the principle is, it helped me avoid a little red shot. With this matter alone, I believe that it can save my life.
When I arrived at the Hong family, the Hong family almost recognized me. One reason was that the scabs on my face had not yet fallen out and the injuries had not yet disappeared. Two reason was that I was wearing military uniforms, and the third reason was that the Hong family men had not seen anyone, and there were only female relatives in the master bedroom.
The last time I came to Hong’s family was during the Chinese New Year last year. When I came to Hong’s family to send New Year’s greetings, they asked me what position I am now. I said I was a second lieutenant and the youngest official.
How could they have thought that in just about a year, I put on the dark green school uniform, and it would be strange if I could recognize it as soon as possible. After hearing that I became a colonel and was already at the deputy regiment level, they couldn't even close their mouths.
When I visit someone, I definitely can't stand empty-handed. I bought some gifts on the way, but the Hong family refused to accept them. I gave them several times before they reluctantly accepted them. Hong Guoli's mother called her eldest daughter-in-law aside, gave her a few tickets, and whispered to her a few words, it seemed that she was asking her to buy something for me.
I didn't stop me. I did Hong Guoli a favor before, but now I brought something to the Hong family. The Hong family will definitely feel sad. If they don't give them a chance to repay favors, they will always feel uncomfortable.
Hong Guoli's father, elder brother and younger brother are not here, probably they are planning things for the New Year outside. Hong Guoli is not here either. I guess he shouldn't go out and is resting in a small bedroom. There are only three women in the master bedroom, namely Hong Guoli's mother, Hong Guoli's wife, and Hong Guoli's sister.
Brother Hong Guoli's wife nodded after taking the money, and then said in a loud voice: "Mom, the city is in chaos now, I'm a little scared to go out alone!"
"Then let Xiaoqiao go with you!" Hong Guoli's mother said loudly.
"Oh! How old is the little one? I have to take her out and take care of her, it's not enough to delay trouble!"
"What else do you want? Let me accompany you?"
"Oh! You have to accompany me!"
"How can I go with you? I'm going with you, who's at home to accompany you?"
"Oh! Let Xiaoqiao accompany you!" Brother Hong Guoli's wife pulled Hong Guoqiao with a confused look on her face from the side, "It's not that they don't know each other, let her stay at home to accompany her brother!"
Before I could react, Brother Hong Guoli's wife had already pulled Hong Guoli's mother to the door. Hong Guoli's mother said no, no, how could she let her daughter who had not left the house accompany her, but she strode towards the door. Seeing this, I realized that the whispers she had just told her daughter-in-law was not just about going out to buy things for me.
The Hong family has four children, three boys and one girl, and the daughter is the third child. She is fourteen years old this year. It was probably when she was in the third grade of elementary school, and Hong Guoqiao and I met each other.
Because the Hong family is close to the school, Hong Guoli can go home for lunch. My house is far away and I can't go home for food. It's all my grandmother or father who brings me food.
It’s a good idea to take it for granted, eating at home is definitely more comfortable than eating at school. However, eating at school is more lively than eating at home. Everyone holds lunch boxes and gets together to eat, and can also exchange meals. It’s also quite interesting. Hong Guoli likes this kind of excitement and wants to eat at school. His parents think that taking off their pants and farts. They do this in a waste of time and never agree.
Then this guy thought of a solution. He found more than a dozen people, including me, and asked us to go to his house to eat. At first, everyone thought it was troublesome, and there was enough time to smash a few paper cakes.
The so-called paper cake is a thick paper cake with four edges and four corners folded, with the opposite side. The so-called paper cake is that several individuals each produce a few paper cakes, put the front on the ground, and then take turns smashing it with stones and other things. Each person has only one chance per round.
Just smash the paper cake over, and the paper cake is yours, and then you can continue to smash it until it fails. If it fails as soon as it comes, then just replace it. When all the paper cakes on the ground are smashed and over, the game will be over.
Hong Guoli is a master of smashing paper cakes, and he always wins a lot of money. When he saw that we didn't want to go, he bribed us with paper cakes. We were greedy for a moment and followed him. As a result, the kid gave us the paper cakes the day before and won the next day. In the end, we lost a little, obviously he was fooled.
Before graduating from elementary school, Hong Guoli kept asking us to eat at his house by bribing paper cakes, and we were always fooled. It’s not that we didn’t notice that eating at other people’s house during lunch break does have a different feeling. Although we were still eating our own meals, it had a unique taste. This felt pretty good, so we continued to play with him like this.
When I first went to the Hong family, Hong Guoqiao was only five years old. She was very attached to Hong Guoli. Every noon, when it was almost lunch break, she would run to the yard to stand. Every time we went there, we could see her holding her hands high from afar, brother screaming, running over, piercing into Hong Guoli's arms.
Hong Guoli always touched her sister's head as if she was dealing with it, picked her up, and walked home while talking to us. When we got home, we would have dinner together. After we finished our meal, we would go back to school together.
When we left, Hong Guoqiao would follow me out with a slight sound, and said to his brother in a slight voice, come back early! Every time Hong Guoli agreed. As a result, as soon as school came, he would follow me happily and run around outside. He would not go home until dark, and would be beaten every now and then.
