    As soon as He Yuanchao, He Yang, Suning, and Zhang Yingxue came out of the camp, it started to rain lightly. They quickened their pace, ran out of the dedicated road leading to the camp, and rushed to the bus stop on the roadside.  Under the awning of the platform, there were several soldiers in military uniforms. Seeing them running towards them, they squeezed each other to make room for them.  "Does it often rain here every summer? Today is the second rain." Zhang Yingxue wiped the rain from his face and complained.  "What's this! It's the rainy season soon, and that's when you know what rain is. It rains twenty-four hours a day, more than ten hours a day, and the sky is gloomy. It's uncomfortable to be wet and stuffy.  I don't know if the training will be stopped by then." He Yuanchao pulled his shirt to prevent the wet clothes from sticking to his flesh, shaking them constantly, hoping to make the wet clothes dry quickly.  Suning listened absently to the conversation between the two, then turned around and asked: "Is the rain usually heavy?" "It's not too heavy, but the drizzle is annoying. When I was on the farm, the most difficult thing was the rainy season, every time I went to the fields  They were all covered in mud and tired from work. Many people were too tired to wash their clothes when they returned home, so they took off their wet clothes and hung them up, and went to the fields in half-dry clothes the next day" He Yuanchao recalled the hardships of the farm.  Days, my eyes are a little blurry.  "Then the training will not stop." Suning frowned and said calmly.  "What bad luck! I don't dare to hang my clothes outside in this damn weather. If I keep training, two sets of clothes won't be enough for a change of clothes." He Yuanchao's thoughts were immediately pulled back from the memories of the past, with a bitter look on his face and a throbbing pain like a toothache.  Catch a cold.  He Yang, who has military experience, comforted him: "Don't worry, our superiors won't let us train in the rain. Who can bear the rain every day? At least a big one will fall. I heard that the company commander was discussing with the instructor and said that after receiving  The superiors have notified them to arrange more indoor physical fitness and shooting training during the rainy season, or to conduct political studies. Tactical training is planned to be carried out during the rainy season. Each company will also be assigned several washing machines and dryers with automatic dryers.  It's dry, so everyone can change and wash it in time. It's really easy to be a soldier here, and all the living facilities are complete. We used to be covered in mud when we trained in China, and we didn't have to wash it by ourselves. How could we have such conditions?"  satisfy.  Living in a beautiful and comfortable building, surrounded by passionate comrades-in-arms.  In his opinion, he is already very satisfied. His superiors are still improving the living and training facilities of the troops to relieve the soldiers of all kinds of worries.  Just at the beginning of the month, he was promoted to deputy platoon because of his hard training and excellent skills.  The instructor told him that this meant promotion in China. From now on, he would be a professional soldier, and he would no longer receive soldier allowances, but wages, basic wages, training subsidies, etc., all kinds of mess.  In total, I can receive more than 70 yuan per month!  In China, this is already the salary of an assistant engineer!  Now that new military uniforms have been issued, when he puts them on and looks in the mirror, he feels that he looks much more powerful.  The new military uniforms do not have military ranks yet. I heard that when the commander returns from abroad, a meeting will be held to discuss the awarding of military ranks.  As a platoon deputy, he should be awarded the rank of second lieutenant at least.  He consulted the instructor and learned that family members could be allowed to accompany the army and the army would arrange work, so he hurriedly wrote a letter to his wife in his hometown and asked her to come over!  This time I followed He Yuanchao. I also heard that his buddy bought a house and officially moved into a new home. I planned to follow him in the name of He Xi to see how the house was.  If it was not expensive, he would also buy one so that his wife could have a place to live.  "This road was still a dirt road before, right?" Suning, who seemed a little distracted, said in surprise as if he just realized that there was a cement road in front of him.  It is obvious that the newly built highway is very busy with cars coming and going.  "Well, I asked about it. It was newly built in the past two months. One end is connected to the new city, the other end is to Longkang, and then turns north and leads to the boundary river. There is also one from the university area, which goes around in a circle.  It is connected to the main road. The military subdivision rushed to build the road before the rainy season in order to avoid muddy roads and hinder the transportation of materials. Now that there are cement roads, buses can go to various towns below and people can enter the city.  It's much more convenient." He Yuanchao conveyed the news to Xue Zhen, who worked at the radio station and was well aware of the new developments in the military division.  The military division is developing rapidly, and he is proud of it. He talks about it with pride.  Through the rain curtain, Suning looked at the surrounding scenery that was becoming increasingly unfamiliar, looking a little dazed.  He Yang and others ignored him and talked with He Yuanchao about the new changes in the military division, smiling broadly.  Influenced by them, several other soldiers from the military division waiting for the bus at the platform also started discussing enthusiastically, and their conversations were full of longing for the future of the military division.  While talking, a red bus?I drove out of the rain, slowly approached the platform, and opened the front door.  "Up the front door, down the back door, up the front door, down the back door! Buy the ticket and then get on the bus!" A middle-aged woman sitting by the front door poked her head out and directed two soldiers who had run to the rear door to wait to get on the bus.  car.  For He Yuanchao and others, this way of picking up and dropping off passengers is very novel.  No matter which bus door you have in China, as long as you can get on the bus, the conductor will walk back and forth to sell tickets.  Those who evade fares will get into the crowd and pretend to have boarded the bus early, while the conductor shouts back and forth at the top of his lungs without saying a word.  The front-door boarding method and the back-door drop-off method make it easy for people who try to evade fares to pay for tickets.  He Yuanchao and others queued up to get on the bus and bought tickets one by one.  "The ticket is not expensive. It only costs 4 cents to get to the Jinggong Community where Kong Lingchen and Xue Zhen live, and only 10 cents to the terminal, Commercial Avenue.  "That's good, it's just us!" He Yuanchao found that the huge carriage was empty except for a few of them, so he smiled happily and occupied a window seat at the front.  He Yang didn't choose, sat down next to him, and turned to look behind him curiously: "There are two carriages in this car, why is there no one there?" "People in the towns have no money, they would rather walk dozens of miles  , I can¡¯t bear to sell the ticket and take the bus.¡± The conductor motioned to the driver to close the door and said angrily, ¡°It¡¯s a big loss to drive this line. There are more than a dozen villages in two towns. If I didn¡¯t occasionally meet you soldiers, I could only go back and forth.  "It's an empty car." "How can it be a loss? Anyway, there are fewer people, so you don't always get that much salary. It's easier for you if there are fewer people." Suning looked at the empty carriage and frowned, deliberately raising the topic.  "There is a huge difference between a large number of people and a small number of people!" It was okay if he didn't say it, but when he did, the conductor and driver both shouted.  Perhaps it was because of the loneliness on the road, but the two of them exchanged words with each other, allowing He Yuanchao and the others to quickly understand the situation.  The military subdivision purchased dozens of buses from China and established a bus company.  The income of drivers and conductors is composed of basic salary and bonus. For normal line operation, only 37 yuan of basic salary can be earned. In addition, there are fuel-saving incentives and summer heat prevention and cooling subsidies.  ¡° A round trip with an empty car like theirs only costs about 40 yuan a month, and they can¡¯t get any extra rewards. The crew members are all very angry.  "The company originally planned to use articulated buses, which can seat up to 300 people in two carriages. Later, we found that no one would take them, so we quickly switched to the current one to save some gas money. After a while, if  The number of trains is still empty, and the number of trains needs to be reduced. I think it¡¯s better to reduce the number of trains. By the way, I can make more money by taking the city route. From now on, there will be three trains a day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. The departure times are seven.  You must remember, if you miss the train, there will be no train." After complaining, the young female conductor reminded her kindly.  On the spacious six-lane cement road, Dongfeng, Jiefang, and Yellow River run back and forth.  Most of those traveling toward the city carry daily supplies, steel bars, construction machinery, and occasionally a huge oil tanker.  More than half of the trucks leaving the city are transporting earthwork.  After driving for some distance, a bus passed by. He Yuanchao and others found that except for the driver and conductor, there was no one on the bus.  "You're still poor!" Suning frowned and said with a smile.  "It's strange that they are poor! They are too stingy!" The conductor said angrily, not grateful for his consideration at all, "Many people in the towns went to work on construction sites and earned a lot of money. It used to be fifty cents a day, but later it was based on the type of work.  , Wages are paid based on workload. As long as a strong laborer is willing to work hard, he can earn two to three yuan a day. If he is skilled and does a good job, it is not unusual to earn five or six yuan a day  Now the work in the fields is left to the elderly and children at home. They no longer plant the laborious food, but plant some vegetables, sorghum, and corn. Some of the vegetables are eaten by themselves and some are sent to the market.  . Sorghum and corn are crushed and used to raise pigs and chickens, and they earn a lot of money. They are used to being poor, and they are reluctant to spend it!" Suning and others opened their mouths and were speechless.  The other soldiers were also shocked by the wages of the migrant workers, and there was suddenly no sound in the carriage.  "I said, let's just go work on the construction site!" He Yang came to his senses after a while and said half jokingly, half seriously.  The driver glanced back at him, then quickly turned back: "Being a soldier is such a good way out, why don't you work on construction sites? We haven't thought about changing jobs. Even though migrant workers earn a lot, it's hard work. In order to earn more money  "We didn't even take a break when it was windy or rainy. After a day's work, we were so tired that we couldn't even straighten our backs."??It also requires training.  " He Yuanchao refused to accept. The driver and conductor laughed. "You have trained hard, but you will have a good future.  If you change jobs in the future, your starting salary will be 20% higher than that of others. Under the same conditions, cadres who have changed jobs will be given priority in salary increases and promotions.  According to the development momentum of the military division, when you start working, the development will be much better than working on the construction site.  We are not in a hurry and are still taking our time. Why are you so anxious?  After two years, the people will gradually become richer and willing to spend money. This line will inevitably have people taking the bus, and our income will also increase.  "The driver was in his early thirties, and he spoke in a leisurely manner. He seemed to have experienced the vicissitudes of life and had seen through the world. He Yuanchao and others looked at each other, saw the bright light in each other's eyes, and grinned, a feeling called happiness.  , gradually permeated the heart. Looking out from the windshield, the outline of a city appeared in the mist. This is our city! In the future, we are the masters of this city!
