Chapter 539: Issues with the Army 1

After the wedding of Su Junlin and Bai Xue, nothing changed except Bai Xue moving into Su Junlin's residence.

Su Junlin went out for drill as usual, and Bai Xue still went on stage.

After discussion, the troops began to prepare a family compound for the families of the soldiers, and marked out a piece of open space at the edge of the camp as a family area. Because of limited conditions, it was not planned to be separated from the camp from the beginning.

Feng Qingxue didn't know what they said specifically.

In this sparsely populated plateau area, it is naturally the responsibility of the soldiers to build a family compound.

There is strength in numbers. Within a few days, several small bungalows of the dry-rammed style were built. If Feng Qingxue hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she couldn't believe that there was still an empty space there when she first arrived.

This is severe cold weather!

The temperature was particularly low in the morning and evening, and Xi Bao and I were wrapped up like big and small bears.

The dry-rammed style is built with earth, with thick walls and thick roofs, and the roof is also a straw mat with thick earth pressed on it.

In the camp, many soldiers live in cellars, called dugouts, which are not afraid of strong winds.

"This house is only available in the northeast. It was built on the plateau in Daqing. It solved a big problem at that time. We are also building dry-rammed forts now." Seeing Feng Qingxue's curiosity, a soldier explained.

Feng Qingxue had not read the relevant information about the Daqing Oil Battle, so she didn't understand it. She smiled and walked away.

However, after the house was completed, Feng Qingxue and Xi Bao moved in first. There were indeed many inconveniences for the mother and son to live in the dormitory with Lu Jiang, which could easily bring bad influence to the soldiers.

Seeing the happy family of three, which soldier would not miss home? Miss his family?

Feng Qingxue felt sorry for them and moved into the family compound very tactfully.

Lu Jiang was the brigade commander, and his rank was not low. The mother and son lived in a relatively large bungalow.

There was a kang in the room. The soldiers diligently built a stove for them to cook and sent two baskets of dried cow dung. Sang Hong told Feng Qingxue: "Sister-in-law, the water here cannot be boiled. We boil it for a while before drinking it, so we have to find a shortcut to cook. We usually use cow dung to bake, or stir-fry noodles and highland barley noodles in the pot. Stewing is relatively rare. There is not much firewood in the plateau area. When sending supplies in summer and autumn, some coal will be transported with the car. In fact, it is not enough, so cow dung is used most of the time. Don't underestimate cow dung, sister-in-law, it is a treasure in the plateau area!"

"Where does the cow dung come from?" Feng Qingxue asked curiously.

After arriving at the camp, Feng Qingxue has never gone out. She goes between the dormitory and the canteen every day. At most, she takes Xibao to watch the soldiers' training scenes at the edge of the training ground for a while, but she noticed buildings such as stables and cowsheds in the distance.

Sang Hong smiled and said, "We are a combat team, a work team, and a production team!"

"What do you mean?"

"In addition to training and always preparing for battle, we have to grow grass and raise horses, herds of cattle and sheep, and each company has a task, growing barley and vegetables in the low-lying areas of the river valley. Potatoes are easier to grow and easy to get a good harvest. There are also vegetables, but not many. We can improve the lives of the troops and reduce the burden on the country." Sang Hong explained.

Feng Qingxue was very moved, "You have worked hard."

Sang Hong touched his head, "It's not hard, sister-in-law, really, compared to the previous life, it's much better now."
