"Okay, De'an, don't say anything. Let's go back to the platoon to get to know the situation as soon as possible." As he said, Chen Xiuwen pointed to the two names on the roster and said, "Your second platoon is not all Hunan soldiers and Guangdong soldiers. Look, these two squad leaders joined the army in the 18th year of the Republic of China and have been in our company. They should be veterans who participated in the Songhu War. After returning, I'll find them more to find out the situation. I'll hand over the second platoon to you. If you can't take it well, then we can only get out of the rolling bed."

Cheng Dean just went to the second platoon for a rough turn, and didn't know so much. However, Cheng Dean's military academy for more than two years has not been in vain. He knows the importance of the squad leader among soldiers. There are only three squads in a platoon. If those two squad leaders are used by him, why not be afraid of leading this platoon well? What's more, Cheng Dean himself is not a calm master. If there is no challenge, he feels boring. Seeing Chen Xiuwen's calm look, Cheng Dean no longer has any worries and hurriedly said, "Company Commander, don't worry. I promise that I won't take three days. I will definitely let the bastards in the second platoon behave properly."

In fact, Chen Xiuwen had already found some of the situations between Zhang Zhengjie and Huang Likui. This document named Ma Congping was also a survivor of the defensive battle in the temple store. He showed great respect to Chen Xiuwen, the new company commander who had fought side by side at the temple store.

Chen Xiuwen learned that Huang Likui was the leader of Hunan soldiers in the first company, a person who was more similar to Cheng De'an. Zhang Zhengjie, from the fact that he had been in the army for ten years, was the company commander of the 19th Route Army and was able to impress Huang Likui, although this person had never been to a military academy and had not had a very high level of education, he was definitely a capable person.

On the first day of his tenure, Chen Xiuwen did not go to see the troops' training or inspect his own territory. Instead, he sat quietly in the company's headquarters and looked through the roster in the company. The troops issued a training plan formulated by German consultants and some recent work arrangements in the company.

At dinner, the company gathered at the entrance of the canteen. Deputy company commander Zhang Zhengjie came here in person to invite the new company commander Chen Xiuwen to give lectures to the company soldiers.

Looking at the uniform team in front of him, Chen Xiuwen felt quite moved. He thought that he was standing in the team like these soldiers in front of him. Now he is the highest commander of this team. Although he has only a hundred or so people under his command, Chen Xiuwen still finds a bit of the feeling of a leader.

Chen Xiuwen's eyes glanced around the team, greeted a standard military salute, and then said loudly: "Brothers, my name is Chen Xiuwen. From today on, I will be your company commander. From now on, everyone will stir the horses and spoons in a pot. In the future, we will share the blessings and difficulties together. Even if we go to the battlefield in the future, I will do my best to bring everyone back alive."

As soon as Chen Xiuwen finished speaking, he heard Cheng Dean clapping alone. Soldiers, look at me, look at you, none of them said anything.

Cheng Dean turned around and glared at his soldiers, saying, "Why are you still standing there? Applause quickly."

As the two squad leaders hesitated for a moment and took the lead in applauding, a sparse applause came from the second platoon. However, none of the other two platoons moved. It was not until Zhang Zhengjie, who was standing aside, glanced at Huang Likui, who was proud and gently clapped his hands. Only then did Huang Likui applause reluctantly, the applause of the entire team became enthusiastic.

Chen Xiuwen saw all this. But he had no intention of dissatisfaction at all. Instead, he smiled and saluted another military salute to the team applauding.

Then the meal started. In addition to the table where the soldiers were eating, there was another table in the corner of the wall. Several dishes were already placed on it, especially the plate of braised pork with thick oil and red sauce, which exuded a strong meat aroma. The soldiers entering the canteen swallowed their saliva. Chen Xiuwen noticed that the soldiers were queuing up to cook food, but there was only rice and a large pot of chili without oil and water to cook cabbage.

"Company Commander, today we should have welcomed you and Platoon Commander Cheng, but the conditions here are limited, so it's a little simpler. I hope the company commander will not be surprised." Zhang Zhengjie said while asking Chen Xiuwen to sit down.

Chen Xiuwen glanced at the dishes on the table, turned to look at Zhang Zhengjie and Huang Likui, and asked softly: "Are the officers and soldiers eating here separated?"

Zhang Zhengjie did not expect Chen Xiuwen to ask this question. He has been in the army for ten years, from the Guangdong Army to the present Central Army. Soldiers and officers have always eaten separately. Officers eat small stoves and soldiers eat big pots. He was stunned and nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes."

"So from today on, our company's rule has been changed. From now on, the officers and soldiers have dinner together. Apart from the sick and injured, they are not allowed to have small food." After that, Zhang Zhengjie also waited for Zhang Zhengjie to react and picked up the plate of braised pork that made the soldiers salivate and walked to the place where the soldiers made their meals, poured it into the pot of cabbage without oil.

The chef who was making food and the soldier were stunned by Chen Xiuwen's actions and turned his attention to Chen Xiuwen. In fact, what Chen Xiuwen wanted was this result. In the past, Chen Xiuwen had watched too many such plots on TV. The leader went to check. In order to flatter him, the people below specially made a table of good dishes to entertain the leader. The leader of course was very noble and not only took the initiative to distribute the dishes to the soldiers, but also criticized the cadres below very severely. Originally, Chen Xiuwen was still considering where he started his work in the first company. Today, Zhang Zhengjie's arrangement just provided Chen Xiuwen with a good opportunity.

Chen Xiuwen turned around and shouted to all the soldiers and Zhang Zhengjie and Huang Likui who were looking at him with incredible eyes: "Brothers, just before the meal started, I told you that in the future we will stir the horse spoon in the same pot, and we will share blessings with each other and suffer difficulties. Therefore, from today, I, Chen Xiuwen, announced that in our company, the officers and soldiers will eat in the same pot. Brothers drink thin things, I, Chen Xiuwen, will never eat dry things, brothers drink soup, and I will never eat meat. We must truly share blessings with each other and suffer difficulties."

The entire canteen was quiet for a few seconds, and suddenly a burst of cheers broke out. The soldiers were originally carrying guns and eating food. Maybe they didn't understand the meaning of equality between officers and soldiers. But today they saw meat and the new company commander proposed that the officials and soldiers would have dinner together in the future, which means that their food may be improved in the future.

At this time, Cheng Dean didn't say anything, picked up some black fungus slices on the table, cucumbers, eggs and other dishes, poured them all into the big pot, and snatched the chef's spoon, stirred them hard in the pot for a few times, turned around and said to the soldiers who stretched their necks: "Brothers, there is not much meat. Whoever can beat the meat depends on whoever can beat the meat. Those who don't beat the meat can only blame his mother for being bad luck, and no one is allowed to grab it."

Cheng Dean's swear words were more in line with the taste of these soldiers, which immediately caused a burst of laughter. One of the squad leaders who were already familiar with Cheng Dean's office laughed and said, "Platform Commander Cheng, even if he can't beat meat, he can see some oil stars."

Chen Xiuwen looked at all this with a smile, obviously his goal had been achieved. The soldiers looked at him with no stranger than he was just talking to him in front of the cafeteria. He turned around and picked up the bowl from the table, and smiled and said to Zhang Zhengjie and Huang Likui who were stunned, "Two, let's go and get food. If you are lucky, you can still get a piece of meat."

Today's supper is as lively as the New Year in the canteen in the company. I am lucky. The soldiers who beat braised pork in the bowl shouted loudly, but they couldn't beat meat. There were long-lost oil and tempting meat fragrance in the bowl, and they all ate happily. Chen Xiuwen and the others were at the end of the line, and the dishes in the bowl naturally would not have any trace of meat.

"Tortoise lid, I didn't expect that Chen Xiuwen would do this today." After dinner, Huang Likui said angrily in Zhang Zhengjie's room.

Zhang Zhengjie was also very incredible about what happened in the canteen today. Zhang Zhengjie was from a poor family and had no way to make a living in the army. Later, after becoming the company commander, he never deducted the soldiers' food and salary. However, in his mind, officers and soldiers have always been two classes, and they share the blessings and difficulties. He also told the soldiers such words, but these are just scenes. Chen Xiuwen's actions today shocked him. If he were a soldier, he would definitely cheer for the behavior of the superiors.

Huang Likui swayed in front of Zhang Zhengjie's eyes with his lumbar muscles, and said with gritted teeth: "Brother, this Chen Xiuwen must be doing it today. I don't believe it anymore. He was born as a eldest son of Chen Xiuwen, so he could endure this hardship."

However, Zhang Zhengjie shook his head and sighed softly, "No matter whether he is acting or not, just acting today means that this person is definitely not as simple as we imagined."
