Chapter 23 Going Out (for further reading)
After breakfast, Jiang Bei went to the bathhouse to take a shower, returned to the dormitory, cleaned up his housework, and changed into clean clothes.

The color of the clothes is very simple, all black.

Seeing that Shi Jin was not there, he asked Bai Tiejun: "Old Bai, where is the squad leader?"

"Not behind you?"

Bai Tiejun looked up behind Jiangbei and said.

Jiang Bei turned his head and saw Shi Jin coming in from the door, and asked suspiciously: "Squad leader, didn't you just change your clothes, why are you still wearing military uniform?"

Shi Jin replied while taking off his military uniform: "The company commander asked me to explain something."

"Okay, squad leader, hurry up, we don't have long."

Jiang Bei didn't ask Gao Cheng why he was looking for Shi Jin, he didn't ask what he shouldn't, he just urged Shi Jin to change his clothes quickly.

There are no holidays during the conscripts' service. If you want to go out, you can only ask for leave. The two of Jiangbei are asking for leave this time, and the time is only eight hours.

The army camp is a bit far from the county seat, and it takes an hour to go back and forth, so the time to go out is a bit tight.

Not long after, Shi Jin changed his clothes and made the bed.

"Let's go, Forrest Gump, do you guys have anything to bring?"

Gan Xiaoning and the others shook their heads, indicating that there was nothing to bring, so Bai Tiejun's eyes lit up, he quickly stood up from the stool and said, "Squad leader, Jiang Bei, bring me some roast duck, remember, I haven't eaten for a long time, I'm hungry "

Jiang Bei stretched out his hand, pointed at Bai Tiejun and said, "If you want to buy it, bring the money."

In the past two years, the allowances for conscripts have not been much. It is enough to buy a few packs of cigarettes a month. Jiangbei has only saved a few hundred yuan in the five months since he joined the army. If he is not careful, he may spend it all.

"Hey, you buy it for me first, I will pay you back this month's allowance, hurry up"

Upon hearing this, Bai Tiejun said with a playful smile.

Jiang Bei had nothing to do with his shameless appearance, but nodded in agreement.

The two went downstairs, lined up, walked to the gate of the camp, signed and registered at the gate, and walked out of the gate.

Asking for leave to go out, especially recruits, must be accompanied by someone. Bai Tiejun went out last week, and Wu Liuyi took him with him.

This time it was Jiangbei and Shi Jin. The two stayed away from the camp. Under the leadership of Shi Jin, they came to the bus platform not far away. There will be a bus passing by here later. You can stop if you say hello.

Shi Jin looked at the time, it was still early, and the bus came every half an hour. He estimated that it would take a while before the bus would arrive here, so he took Jiang Bei to the side of the road to enjoy the shade under a tree not far away. You can just see the road in the distance. If a bus is coming, you can find it immediately.

The two rested in the shade for a while, and the figure of the passenger car appeared from a distance, gradually becoming clear from far to near.

Shi Jin and the two hurriedly stopped the bus and got on the bus.

The seats facing each other in the bus were already full, so they had to find a place to stand. An old man with thinning and graying hair was sitting on the seat next to Jiang Bei. He was about 60 years old. Seeing Jiang Bei standing next to him, he asked with a smile.

"It's a baby in the army, right? You went shopping today, right?"

Jiang Bei and Shi Jin looked at each other, smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything, the old man continued to laugh and said, "Hahahaha, the two soldiers have a strong sense of secrecy, but unfortunately, I have also been a soldier, and besides the old man's house is not far from the army training camp." When I saw you getting into the car, I knew it at a glance."

Only then did Jiang Bei start chatting with the uncle.

"Master, your vision is unusual, what are you doing in the city?"

The old man showed his white teeth, stroked his beard and said, "My great-grandson is full moon today, go to my grandson's house today, and give my grand-daughter-in-law a chicken so that he can raise it well."

"Grandpa, congratulations, you have great-grandsons, it can be said that the house is full of children and grandchildren."

Jiang Bei congratulated the uncle with his hands in his arms.

When the uncle heard this, his face was full of joy, and he felt very happy.

Not long after, the bus arrived at the station. The two got off the bus and walked out of the station. Looking at the crowded neighborhood in front of them, Jiangbei, who had been in the army for almost five months, suddenly became a little unaccustomed to the outside world.

The Seventh Steel Company is located in a prefecture-level city in a province close to the capital. For the Jiangbei from later generations, there is not much modern atmosphere, and there are not many high-rise buildings.

"Squad Leader, where shall we go first?"

Jiang Bei asked Shi Jin, he was not familiar with the county, so he had to let Shi Jin take him away.

"Why don't you go to the street garden to buy some clothes first? Then go to the bookstore to read the books you need," Shi Jin suggested.

"Okay, let's go and buy clothes"

Jiang Bei nodded in agreement. He also needed a suit of clothes. When he joined the army from home, he brought a suit of clothes all in black. He really didn't like it.

The two came to the garden in the middle of the street, and a pedestrian street came into view, either selling clothes or selling clothes, and there were no other shops.

Jiang Bei picked out a gray coat, a white T-shirt, jeans, and a pair of shoes, making them into a set, and came out with large and small bags.

Then he asked Shi Jin to take him to the bookstore, picked out a few professional English books, and found a few novels before leaving the bookstore.

Jiang Bei planned to review his English. After a long time in the army, he was worried that he would forget all his English.

Although he, as a student of a key university, cannot be poor in English, this thing is afraid of not having that language environment.

"Jiangbei, don't you have anything to buy?" Shi Jin asked.

"there is none left"

"Okay, then let's find a restaurant and ask the boss to cook some side dishes to improve the food."

Jiang Bei naturally agreed, it was already past eleven o'clock, and it was almost time for lunch.

The two found a restaurant and ordered a few common stir-fried dishes.

Shredded pork with green pepper, braised beef, cold cucumber, bitter vegetable soup, scrambled tomato with eggs, and ordered a bottle of drink, chatting while eating.

On the way, Shi Jin took the opportunity of going to the bathroom and secretly settled the bill. Jiang Bei only found out when he was about to pay.

Jiang Bei didn't say anything about giving the money to Shi Jinlei, he just kept it in his heart and prepared to go back for the next meal.

After eating enough, the two of them wandered around in the county for more than an hour. They didn't buy anything. They felt that it was boring, so they found a roast duck restaurant and bought Bai Tiejun's roast duck.

Jiang Bei bought three and planned to let everyone in the class taste it.

After receiving the roast duck wrapped by the boss, the two walked back to the station and waited for more than ten minutes before getting on the bus and heading out of the county.

This bus is estimated to be between two and three o'clock in the afternoon. Most of the people who came to the city are not ready to go back. There are few people in the car, only four or five aunts are sitting.

The car drove not far outside the city, and when it came to a big river, Shi Jin, who was sitting by the window, suddenly called out: "No, master, stop the car."

Jiang Bei quickly looked out, and saw the tires of a van coming towards him suddenly fell off, causing the car to lose control and rush directly into the river.

 Seeking follow-up, monthly pass, recommendation ticket.
