Chapter 644: The Spring Festival of 1637 (9)
Hearing the other party's words, Hikten put down his hand and saw clearly by the bright moonlight that it was the battalion commander and the senior officers of several troops. He hurriedly stood upright, then saluted and shouted loudly: "Report to the chief, I am the deputy squad leader of the third squad of the first company, Hikten, who is on vacation in the camp, please instruct!" ”
The battalion commander thought about it when he heard it, and then said with a smile: "Oh...... I remember, you were the number one in the battalion's shooting assessment. ”
When he said this, he turned to an officer next to him and said with a smile: "Commander, this is the newly promoted deputy squad leader of our battalion, a good seedling, and a future backbone that we are ready to focus on cultivating." ”
Hikten listened to the words of the battalion commander, his throat suddenly became a little dry, the commander is really a bit big, he will inevitably be a little nervous when facing such a big cadre for the first time, his waist is unconsciously straightened, but his body is already trembling with excitement.
As commander of the Eastern Military Region, he was on duty on the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and he went down to walk around the grassroots units this evening. I happened to see Hickten lying alone on the fence, so he came over and asked.
"I also remembered, I saw you during the Battle of the North last year, and you played Harpoon very well, haha...... We're really fated! Why don't you go to the party with your comrades? ”
Although Hikten had long forgotten what Mighty looked like, he still vaguely remembered that a chief rewarded him with a military dagger last year. But the chief's question, he didn't know how to answer.
"Chief, I'm ......"
Qiang Quan Sheng is also a person with an old soldier, and when he saw Hikten's stumbling appearance, he instantly understood what was going on with Hikten. It is estimated that this child is homesick, and he looks fifteen or sixteen years old, so it's strange that he doesn't want to go home during the holidays.
"Homesick, right? When I was a soldier, I was your age. I cried because I was homesick, haha......"
His words made everyone laugh, and even Hikten laughed out loud, but he immediately regained his serious expression, and then stood up straighter, feeling homesick. It's also faded a little bit.
Qiang Quansheng walked over, patted Hikten on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Young man, since you have arrived in the army, let's do a good job, I hope that one day I will personally award you a military merit medal......"
After he finished speaking, he smiled at Hikten, and then left, the battalion commander and the instructor. walked over and patted him with a smile, and followed the power to win. Leaving Hickten alone, he stood here excitedly, and the blood all over his body became hot.
At this time, there was a dull sound in the distance, followed by an incomparably gorgeous salute flower, which instantly exploded in the dark air, and the shouts of the soldiers were also heard in the camp.
Hickten knew. This is what the squad leader said about the New Year, and it also represents the arrival of the new year. He tightened the collar of his coat. Looking at the colorful fireworks in the sky in the distance, I don't know if my father and sister can see such beautiful fireworks in the mountains.
At the same time, fireworks were set off in the night sky in all the controlled areas of the Far East. The Far East spared no expense and spent a lot of money. In major areas, fireworks displays were arranged, making the Spring Festival of 1637 lively.
Countless immigrants under the rule of the Far East gathered together with their families to watch the beautiful fireworks display. Both adults and children cheered loudly with the gorgeous flowers.
People shouted excitedly, venting their excitement to the fullest. In this era, there is no television and no Internet, and people's entertainment life is extremely scarce, so the Far East will do its best to arrange some colorful programs for the immigrants in the Far East-controlled areas, so that everyone can live a peaceful and lively New Year.
In the next few days, the Propaganda and Education Department of the Far Eastern Group will send a large number of film projection teams to go deep into the grassroots villages, enterprises, factories and mines, and military barracks to screen movies and documentaries for everyone.
The content of the film is a combination of entertainment and ideological education, exciting films, and touching documentaries will be presented in front of them one by one, satisfying the spiritual and cultural life of immigrants during the festival.
In addition, the vast number of rural grass-roots brigades, detachment departments, military commissions, units, grass-roots units, companies, departments, and enterprises will also spontaneously organize some activities, including festivals, choir competitions, lantern festivals, chess and poker competitions, Yangge performances, tug-of-war competitions, dragon and lion dances, lantern riddles, and other colorful activities, so that all parts of eastern Liaoning are filled with the joy of festivals.
People who have been busy for a year are enjoying the Spring Festival holiday, and everyone is taking advantage of the Spring Festival holiday. Everywhere in the Far East-controlled zone, smiles of happiness and contentment were on people's faces.
Since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, people in various regions of the Far Eastern Group, whether they know each other or not, as long as they meet each other on the street, will bow their hands to each other and greet each other, and everyone can hear each other's sincerity from each other's words.
Every immigrant family will put a few kinds of pastries and dried fruit candy cubes at home, and also prepare some small red envelopes, because after a while, the children in the neighborhood will go door-to-door to pay New Year's greetings.
The children happily walked from house to house, with all kinds of snacks in their pockets and a stack of red envelopes in their hands, which no one could handle, which would make people look down on them. This is a custom that has been cultivated in the Far East in recent years, and it is not known that it first arose in that region, but now it has become a trend.
In the afternoon, people from all over the Far East, carrying all kinds of New Year's goods and gifts, will start to meet with good colleagues and cultivators. Generally, there are a few dozens, or even dozens of them together.
They have colleagues, fellow villagers, neighbors, and old friends, and they will agree to arrange the New Year party before the festival, and some of them have already gathered together in the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. This is also a new trend in the Far East.
Because the immigrants from the Far East are all new to the Far East to settle down, the family members are weak, and they often feel deserted during the Spring Festival, so there are several families getting together to celebrate the festival, which not only deepens the feelings of each other, but also makes it more lively. Everyone gathers around a table with sumptuous food and drinks, drinks and chats.
This era in history is the era of cannibalism, and it is also the darkest era. More than 2,000 people from the Far East Company crossed over, and they may not be able to save everyone, but at least the Ming immigrants who came to the Far East-controlled area will have a peaceful and festive New Year in such a family festival. (To be continued......)
