58．This was the first village banquet after the earthquake.In the anti-earthquake tent of the village committees laid rows of various tables and benches with plates，bowls and basins of different colors and sizes from different families.However，the containers held the same delicate food of Huangjiawang，the eminent dainty snacks in Longnan city：noodles served with thick gravy as well as marinated pork，chicken and eggs.Cai set the dining standard in person that each soldier had to eat up： two liangs of noodles served with thick gravy，four liangs of marinated pork，one marinated pig’s trotter，one marinated chicken’s leg，two marinated eggs，one liang of pig’ head meat，one marinated pig’s ear，one liang of pig’s liver and one liang of pig's large intestines（used as food）.In addition，the soldiers could be free to share the marinated chicken wings，claws，gizzard and large intestine as well as one large basins of patatos，fresh corns and ripen pumpkins.Seeing the abundant food，lieutenant Wang repeated，"Too much，too much，we can’t have so much．" Unexpectedly，Cai said，"Youth is the time of physical growth.Just eat more，you know that when I was a engineering soldier like you all，I could have eight or nine steamed bread along with plenty of vegetables and thanks to the strong body that I built in the army，I can keep fit now.Our offers are really nothing.So eat.Eat！Eat your fill！We have nothing but these food in the village．"
59．The dinner of that afternoon was the same standard as well and then they worked to 2 o’clock in the next morning.At the daybreak，they began to draw off all the engineering machines.Before parting，Cai held lieutenant Wang’s hands and claimed，"Don’t hold the grudge of me.Will you come back？" "Sure，you can count on us！" responded the lieutenant with great excitement.That night，no one left for sleep.In the moonlight，all the villagers watched and commented around the construction site.The kids played around，fighting，chasing and running，with the nursery rhyme My Pal：
60．Pal，pal，my pal，building our home，loving the people．
61．On your army cap，a star does sparkle.Many times I have met you．
62．Met you，with you，how could I forget you？
63．Pal，pal，my paloodod，good friends，we saw you Forever，my pal！
64．The kids sang the song with one section after another，again and again.They saluted to the soldiers time and again until they all left the construction site．

65．This was a sunny morning again.Huangjiawang village was just quiet after the disturbance of the prior night.Just now，a rapid and piercing whistle broke the newly-recovered quietness of the village.As for the boisterous villagers，some were going to bed，some were washing their faces and feet，ready to sleep and some were just falling asleep but awakened by the whistle，getting up after a short idling rest regardless of their reluctance.All the villagers knew that Cai’s whistle was seldom heard，otherwise in the emergency.After the whistle，it must be his thunder–like shouts，about which people knew well and went out of the anti-earthquake tents.With the bang，bang footsteps，definitely Cai yelled door to door，"Villagers，the county head is coming to our village to rebuild our primary school.Go and welcome them，villagers ．．．" After times of shouts，all the villagers came to the construction site of the rebuilt primary school．
