On New Year's Eve, the recruits got excited early in the morning.

Hanging lanterns, pasting Spring Festival couplets, everyone was extremely busy.

Yang Xiaohu was still practicing his Allegro, and the performance was going to be tonight. He recited the lyrics over and over again, for fear of making mistakes.

"Xiaohu, I can almost recite your words, please forgive me!" Yu Wei sat on the small bench and looked at him pitifully.

"Listen to it again, just one more time!" Yang Xiaohu stopped and flattered him, "Listen to me again, is there anything wrong? Huh?"

Yu Wei propped his chin, complaining infinitely.

Sheng Xingyuan walked past them and was grabbed by Yang Xiaohu: "Squad leader! What do you think of my allegro?"

"Very good! Don't be nervous, play at this level, and you will definitely be number one!"

"Really?" Yang Xiaohu's eyes were bright and he was gearing up.

"Really." Sheng Xingyuan patted his head, and went out with a smile like coaxing a puppy.

"Little boy! I'll do it again for you!" Yang Xiaohu beat up the bamboo board with confidence: "The bamboo board is so dozen, let's not boast about anything else, just talk about the new changes in the barracks..."

"I'm dead!" Yu Wei wailed.

"Persevere! Let's talk about the new changes in the barracks..."

There was constant howling and laughing in the house, and the sun was shining outside, which was a rare good weather since the beginning of winter.

Sheng Xingyuan stood in the courtyard, looking at the red lanterns hanging at the entrance of the courtyard and the red Spring Festival couplets pasted on both sides, a strong New Year's atmosphere came over his face.

It's Chinese New Year!He rubbed his hands together and walked over to a group of recruits carrying ladders and hanging flags.

"Do you need help?"

"Sheng Xingyuan?!" The person holding the ladder at the bottom turned out to be the chubby Yang Chao he met on the train. When he saw Sheng Xingyuan, he immediately smiled and said, "You came just in time, and the two flags on the roof will be handed over to you!"

Sheng Xingyuan smiled and said: "Your third class is really uninterested in entrusting such a difficult task to me!"

"Who made you grow taller?" Yang Chao said with a rascal smile: "Those who can do it, please do it!"

Sheng Xingyuan shook his head, and climbed up the ladder neatly.

"Is it here? Is it upright?" He asked down.

"A little more to the left, right!" someone commanded from below.

"What about this side? Is it right?"

"Go right, go right!" the people below chirped.

"Done yet?"

"Yes! All right, all right!"

Sheng Xingyuan was about to jump off the ladder, but when he turned his head, he saw Han Rui entering the company office.

What is he doing there?Sheng Xingyuan grabbed the ladder, muttering in his heart.

After lunch, before Sheng Xingyuan asked Han Rui what he was going to the company headquarters in the morning, he heard the platoon leader calling for someone outside.

"Report!" Sheng Xingyuan hurried out.

"It's nothing serious," the platoon leader said with a smile, "the cooking team needs to make dumplings, can you bring someone to help?"

"Make dumplings?!" Sheng Xingyuan's mouth is almost watering, since he came to this southwest border, let alone dumplings, many northern dishes that he is usually used to have never caught his attention. "Are you really going to improve the food this time?"

"Look how beautiful you are! Isn't this the festive meal that the leader asked the cafeteria to prepare specially for the fear that your recruits would be homesick!" The platoon leader kicked him, "Take your class who can make dumplings and go to the cafeteria!"

"Yes!" Sheng Xingyuan saluted, and ran back to the dormitory in a hurry.

"Yang Xiaohu!"

"To!"

"How are you getting ready for Allegro?"

"Report to monitor, I want to practice again!" Yang Xiaohu said loudly.

"Okay, you continue. Lian Zhiguo!"

"To!"

"Come with me!" Sheng Xingyuan originally wanted to call Han Rui, but the boy disappeared as soon as he finished his lunch.He wondered where that kid went again, and just after leaving the room, Han Rui came back.

"Han Rui!"

"To!"

Sheng Xingyuan originally wanted to take him directly to the kitchen, but when he thought that Han Rui disappeared twice for no reason, he might have something to do, so he paused and asked him, "Are you busy?"

Han Rui was taken aback for a moment, as if thinking of something, his eyes flashed and he said, "It's okay."

"Really?" Sheng Xingyuan obviously didn't believe it.

"Really." Han Rui raised his hand in assurance.

"Okay, since you're fine, go to the kitchen with Zhiguo and me to help!" Sheng Xingyuan smiled.

"What help?" Han Rui asked cautiously.

"You'll know when you go."

Han Rui followed them to the kitchen suspiciously, but was dumbfounded as soon as he entered the door.

The bundles of cabbage, green onions, and pork were neatly stacked on the chopping board.

He tugged at the corner of Sheng Xingyuan's clothes, and asked softly, "Squad leader, what are we doing here?"

Shengxing ignored him, and walked towards the cooking squad leader with a smile on his face: "Old squad leader, we are here to help!"

The cooking squad leader is from the Northeast, and he looks simple and honest. Because his surname is Ma, everyone calls him Lao Ma squad leader.Squad leader Lao Ma was counting supplies, and seeing Sheng Xingyuan leading people over, he said with a smile: "The gang in class one are not bad, the first batch came! How many people?"

"Three." Sheng Xingyuan said respectfully: "You give us some work!"

"Okay!" The old horse said boldly: "Did you see that chopping board? You three! Chop cabbage!"

Seeing this posture, Lian Zhiguo knew that dumplings were about to be made, he winked at Sheng Xingyuan, and went to hug the cabbage in a beautiful manner.

Han Rui rubbed his nose, hugged a cabbage in the same way, squeezed to Sheng Xingyuan's side, and whispered: "Squad leader, don't look at me as an authentic northerner, but I really don't know how to make dumplings!"

"What are you afraid of? I'm here!" Sheng Xingyuan calmly wiped his knife and cut vegetables.

Han Rui glanced left and right, picked up the knife and started chopping.

Boom boom boom!Boom boom boom!Not long after, the whole kitchen was filled with the sound of chopping stuffing.Han Rui had no cooking experience, and he was timid in doing things. After the joint training of Sheng Xingyuan and Lian Zhiguo, he finally got the hang of it.

"Practice a few more times, and you won't have any problem making dumplings yourself." Sheng Xingyuan instructed him while peeling the onions.

"I can't see it enough!" Lian Zhiguo pointed at Han Rui's stupefaction that vowed to chop through the chopping board, and teased, "It doesn't look like he has any talent for cooking."

"Diligence can make up for one's weakness!" Han Rui objected.

"You only eat dumplings like this once a year. If you want to practice, you probably have to wait until you get discharged from the army and marry a wife." Lian Zhiguo said with a smile.

"What does this have to do with marrying a wife?" Han Rui was puzzled.

"Please please the old mother-in-law!"

"That's not right, maybe Han Rui is looking for a southern girl." Sheng Xingyuan said with a smile.

"Then you have to practice by yourself!"

"why?"

"My daughter-in-law can't do it!" Lian Zhiguo spread his hands.

"That's right." Sheng Xingyuan nodded: "It seems that everything depends on oneself."

"Cut!" Han Rui disdained: "Why do I have to learn by myself? If I want to eat, I'll go to the class monitor for a meal!" As he spoke, he said to Sheng Xingyuan: "Squad leader, will you make dumplings for me?"

Sheng Xingyuan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Yes."

Satisfied, Han Rui smiled at Lian Zhiguo, "Look, there's a squad leader here, why do I have to go to such lengths by myself?"

"Naive!" Lian Zhiguo sneered: "Don't say that we will go back to our respective homes in the future, and we won't see each other in all directions, just say that we are close, and we will have to leave the company in more than a month. You can guarantee that you will be assigned to the squad leader. ?”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them fell silent.

The recruit company is a special existence. Every ordinary person who does not look like a soldier enters here. After three months of training, he gradually polishes the appearance of sending troops.These people have experienced ignorance together, experienced hardships together, and reached a common end point.But this end means parting.

"Okay, don't think about these things." Sheng Xing raised his chin and said, "No matter where we go, we are brothers! Now, work!"

Lian Zhiguo smiled mischievously, and lowered his head to move the pork.

Holding the kitchen knife in his hand, Han Rui lowered his head and thought for a long time.

"The noodles are reconciled! Who knows how to roll the skin?" Lao Ma, the class leader, pointed to a big vat of noodles and shouted.

"I will!" Lian Zhiguo hurriedly raised his hand.

The only two rolling pins were immediately snatched away, and those who didn't get them had to use teacups instead.

"Squad leader, I don't know how to make dumplings." Although he has the name of a northerner, Han Rui knows nothing about cooking, let alone making dumplings.From the moment he entered the kitchen, he followed Sheng Xingyuan's side, and he learned everything well.

"I'll teach you." Sheng Xingyuan said with a smile.

"Why do you know everything?" Han Rui couldn't help feeling a little jealous.Tall, handsome, smart, and a top student in A University.Not only that, this person is actually very lifelike and humble.This point is very rare.Han Rui looked at him with complicated eyes.

"Why do you look at me like that?" Sheng Xingyuan touched his face. "Did I get something on my face?"

Han Rui rolled his eyes and nodded. "Stained."

"where?"

Han Rui secretly dipped his fingers in flour, and wiped it on his face while Sheng Xingyuan was not paying attention. "It's floured!"

"You son of a bitch!" Sheng Xingyuan kicked him, and Han Rui skilfully escaped.

"Haha, I can't kick it!"

Sheng Xingyuan shook his head helplessly, and said, "Stop making trouble, come here quickly and I'll teach you how to make dumplings."

Han Rui looked him over carefully, and after he took the dough and made two fat, white dumplings, he tiptoed back to him.

It was too late, but soon, just when Han Rui thought the crisis was over, Sheng Xingyuan seemed to have eyes behind his back, stretched out his hand, grabbed Han Rui's neck in the blink of an eye, Han Rui had no time to struggle, A piece of dough the size of a fingernail had been stuffed into his mouth!

"Ah bah bah!" The sticky dough had a strange smell of wheat, Han Rui's face turned blue, and he rushed to the trash can.

"Haha!" Sheng Xingyuan laughed, proudly looking at the embarrassed Han Rui in the corner.

"Squad leader! I won't take you to be such a bully!" Han Rui protested.

"This is not called bullying," Sheng Xingyuan said with a serious smile, "this is called repaying others in the same way."

Han Rui scratched his throat and became dumb.

"Did you see? Hold your hands like this, and then squeeze them hard." Sheng Xingyuan took the dough and taught Han Rui with his hands.

"Squad leader, at this rate, you will teach Han Rui, and the year will be over." Lian Zhiguo said with a smile.

"Go!" Han Rui shoved him, then turned his gaze back to Sheng Xingyuan, imitating Sheng Xingyuan in a hurry, clasped his hands, and squeezed hard—poof!The dumpling skin was broken and the filling was squeezed out.

"It's too hard." Sheng Xingyuan rubbed his broken dough and threw it to Lian Zhiguo to let him go back to work.Lian Zhiguo curled his lips and said, "Han Rui, please spare me, brother! If you squeeze a piece, I'll roll it out again. When will this be a big deal!"

"Do you still want to eat?" Han Rui threatened.

Lian Zhiguo bared his teeth, good men don't fight bad men.

"Don't worry, watch my movements carefully." Sheng Xingyuan taught him again patiently.

Han Rui stared at his hand for a moment, clasped his slender fingers, and squeezed out a dumpling with a big belly without much effort.

"You try again."

Han Rui imitated the example and clasped his hands, but this time he used a little less force.The skin is not broken, and there is still a vague shape of a dumpling, but... He frowned and said: "Your dumpling looks like a proud general, but I... like a crooked bum ?”

Lian Zhiguo was overjoyed.

Han Rui glanced across, Lian Zhiguo coughed lightly, and looked away.

"It's not bad to make dumplings like this for the first time." Sheng Xingyuan encouraged: "My first time making dumplings is not as good as you!"

"Really?" Is it another word to coax a child?

"Really." Sheng Xingyuan smiled: "When did I ever lie to you?"

Han Rui turned his head and thought about it, as if there really wasn't one.So, his craft is still very worthy of recognition.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but increase my confidence, and I got busy after grabbing a few pieces of dough.

Sheng Xingyuan gave directions while bagging, seeing more and more finished products from the two of them, a smile could not help but appear on Han Rui's face.

Monitor!Don't take you to fool people like this!Lian Zhiguo winks at Sheng Xingyuan.

What's wrong?Sheng Xingyuan smiled back.

Did Han Rui make dumplings?When it came out, it was noodle soup!

Sheng Xing looked at the pile of crooked "dumplings" that Han Rui made from a distance, and gave Lian Zhiguo a wink: Newbies, please encourage them!

Lian Zhiguo's grief and indignation: If you want to eat it, you eat it!Anyway, I don't eat it! ! !
