I don't know if the impact of this earthquake is too great, Jixiang Road has fallen silent, and the business of the wonton restaurant has become more and more deserted.

Qiao Jianjun calculated that there were only about 2,000 wontons sold every day, and according to the net profit of a bowl of 5 cents, he could earn about 70 yuan a day. Qiao Jianjun became more and more anxious, and if he continued like this, the dowry of the two daughters, and the money for his son to marry his daughter-in-law to buy a house, he might not be able to save enough until the Year of the Monkey!

When the earthquake happened, he felt that he could live in peace, but once the pain passed, he still hoped that his business would be better, so that the life of his family would be better.

The business was too leisurely, and the child had nothing to do, and one day he fell asleep on the table. Qiao Jianjun was even more angry, scolded him, and asked him to go to the back kitchen to clean up, thinking while cleaning, what is the problem?

"yes, what's the problem? Why doesn't everyone come to eat?"

Qiao Jianjun was puzzled, but Qiao Lin said in one sentence: "It's not that you don't make it delicious, it's that there are more and more patterns to eat, and there are more and more choices for people." ”

Jolene gushed: "Dad, you think, when you were young, it would be good to be full, and after you have filled your stomach, you feel that it is enough to eat a little." But our generation is different, not only to be delicious, but also to have a variety of styles, now there is spicy tang, as well as rice bowls, crockpot rice, you don't necessarily have to come to eat wontons!"

Qiao Jianjun thought about it, this is indeed the truth, is it really that he does not want to forge ahead and dare not try? If Lian Lian came to the catering industry, maybe he would have developed this store into a fast food brand and blossomed all over the country.

Alas, the vision is not as good as others, and the courage is not as good as others, no wonder people will make their careers so big, and they can only live in this small shop.

Jolene sensibly persuaded her father: "I can earn my own living expenses for college, so don't worry too much." ”

To be honest, Qiao Jianjun wanted to set up a stall at the gate of No. 2 Middle School after his youngest daughter finished the college entrance examination. He wasn't afraid to change careers again in old age, but he was afraid that his youngest daughter would be emotionally affected. After all, who would want her father to do a small business in front of her classmates at this age?

There is not much shortage of money at the moment, so let's wait, in a few days, the youngest daughter will graduate from the second middle school.

Qiao Jianjun's troubles are not over yet, because the aunt of the street office came to the door again, saying that the cauldron lid on the roof was illegal, and these things had to be removed in order to welcome the Olympic Games.

Aunt said bitterly: "We all know that you miss your son, but you also have to abide by the rules on our side, don't you ?—— stop using your son as an excuse, Qiao Nan is not the only one who is a soldier on the whole auspicious road, and no one else is like you, making a big pot lid on the roof!"

Qiao Jianjun was so aggrieved that he wanted to tell his aunt that he had some untiring knots with his son, and he didn't have many memories with his son, and this cauldron lid was one of them, so he was reluctant to dismantle it. But if this cauldron lid affects the results of the civilized street evaluation, then his sin will be great.

There are too many bad facts, Qiao Jianjun controlled his anger and begged his aunt: "Give me two more months, and when my mind turns around, okay?"

The aunts couldn't bear to do too much, so they acquiesced. But after walking out of the wonton restaurant, the aunts whispered: "My son is fine, and he is not disabled or sacrificed, so he has to use this cauldron lid as a thought?"

Fortunately, Qiao Jianjun didn't hear these words, otherwise he would have been able to tear down the street.

Qiao's family was anxiously waiting for Qiao Nan's news, but on the last weekend of May, Li Lanzhi received a call from an unfamiliar number, and the area code made her heart tighten.

During the son's mission

, she is most afraid of receiving a call from an unfamiliar number, and she is even more afraid of the other party's official and polite opening. So, so much so that the phone rang several times, and she didn't dare to pick it up.

In the end, Qiao Lin picked it up, and a hurried voice immediately came from the other side of the phone: "Mom, why did you only answer now? Is there something wrong at home?"

"Oh...... That, I'm your sister......"

"......" Qiao Nan was helpless, and actually let this little girl take advantage of it.

When Li Lanzhi heard that it was her son's phone, she grabbed it on the spot and asked, "Nannan, have you withdrawn from the disaster area?"

"Well, rest for the night in Rongcheng tonight, and return to the station tomorrow. ”

"Are you tired? Are you hurt? Do you want me to send you something?"

Facing her mother's questions, Qiao Nan smiled heartily: "Haha, it seems that Ms. Li is indeed getting older, and her heart is getting softer and softer, and she has more and more worries." I'm fine, it's fine. ”

"Don't be poor, can you still take a vacation at the end of August?"

"Yes, my sister is engaged, and I have to go back no matter what I say. ”

"That's good. ”

"Mom, tell Jolene to let her concentrate on preparing for the college entrance examination. There are still a lot of comrades-in-arms waiting in line to call, so I'll hang up first. ”

Li Lanzhi still had a lot of things to ask him, but he had already hung up. This son was really raised by her from infancy, but now she can only make up her days and make phone calls. But she is quite satisfied in this way, at least her son has reported her safety.

Jolene sucked the yogurt and asked, "Mom, the disaster relief is not over yet, why did my brother withdraw so quickly?"

Li Lanzhi is a thriller - yes, what is more important than disaster relief now? This let go of the heart is hanging again, she must prepare a quick-acting heart-saving pill at home, every day the mood is like such a roller coaster, whose heart can stand it?

After receiving the order to retreat during the day, Qiao Nan quickly packed his bags and prepared to leave the disaster area. This year is the Olympic year, and since the end of last year, a star has held frequent meetings with them, emphasizing the importance of "stability" to them over and over again. Every time to the end, a star always squeezes this sentence out from between our teeth -- we must be foolproof about the tasks entrusted to us by the party and the people.

The accent fell on "stable" and "foolproof", a star said with bared teeth, Qiao Nan could naturally understand the weight of these words. This time, they evacuated the disaster area ahead of schedule, which is probably related to these words.

Qiao Nan had said hello to Wen Jing before, so she didn't plan to go to her alone again. Wen Jing looked at the neat line, and felt as if she was the wife who sent her husband to the battlefield during the Anti-Japanese War, standing in the crowd to see him off, but she couldn't run over to hug him.

Back then, when Wen Jing was still in high school, she went to Liverpool and asked for Gerrard's autograph very strongly. She cried and laughed and jumped up, and Gerald hugged her and praised her for being a very courageous girl.

Wen Jing showed off to her classmates for a long time, saying that she had been hugged by Gerald. What she has a crush on now is just an ordinary PLA soldier, but it's even harder to chase than a big star like Gerrard. It's obviously close at hand, but it's far away.

A star finished speaking to them, and Qiao Nan was finally leaving. At this time, Wen Jing saw her father walking to a star under the recommendation of several officers. Father Wen took off his hat and shook hands with a star with great reverence. One star was smiling and even gave a thumbs up more than once, presumably praising him.

The two chatted for a while, and a star suddenly shouted at the team: "Qiao Nan, get out of the ranks!"

Qiao Nan ran over and looked at the chief in confusion. And Wen's father secretly hooked his finger at his daughter and motioned for her to come over. Wen Jing naturally couldn't let go of this good opportunity, dragging her knees that had not yet healed, and ran a little embarrassed

Go.

Father Wen wanted to grab Qiao Nan's hand, but he waited patiently for a star's introduction and would never steal the limelight from his leader. Yixing really proudly introduced: "This is our platoon commander Qiao, who graduated from the military academy last year and is now serving as a platoon commander in our special operations brigade, and is a very good grassroots officer. ”

Father Wen eagerly shook Qiao Nan's hand and said, "You saved my daughter, I really don't know how to thank you, if it's usual, I have to treat you to a meal!"

"No, you've helped me too......"

Father Wen looked at Qiao Nan with admiration, turned his head and said to a star: "You are worthy of being a special operations officer, not only with extraordinary bearing, but also with a dignified appearance, your troops are really full of talents!"

Qiao Nan hadn't heard such a high-level compliment for a long time, and she was praised so much that her face was red, but Wen Jing hid her face and chuckled. Father Wen actively pushed his daughter to the front, and said lightly: "You kid, you usually look like a tiger, why don't you hide behind me when you see a great benefactor?"

In this way, it seems that Wen Jing is not active enough, she said shyly: "Thank you for saving me......"

Qiao Nan saw that the two of them were acting, and Father Wen was just fighting for the opportunity to let his daughter have more contact with him for a while. Qiao Nan pretended not to see through it, and said with a smile: "I'm not the only one who saved you, there are other people." That's what we're supposed to do, and you don't have to take it too seriously. ”

Father Wen said eagerly: "Thank you for the leader, at least give us a chance to say goodbye to you." In this way, when I return to Beijing, I will definitely make a pennant and send it to your unit, and thank your troops for training such a good young officer. ”

Qiao Nan was about to resign, but found that this father Wen really said it well-people said that it was given to the army, but they didn't say that it was given to themselves, so what qualifications did he have to resign? Only one star can refuse.

Qiao Nan said a few polite words, and he was about to return to the team. Wen Jing suddenly mustered up her courage and said, "Brother of the People's Liberation Army, can I hug you?"

Qiao Nan was stunned for a moment, Wen Jing pounced on the spot, lay in his arms and whispered, "Why is the star in your eyes missing?"

"......" Qiao Nan didn't know how to answer, he didn't know if there were stars in his eyes, but since he couldn't see the "Flower of Desperation", he did feel that his eyes were strange.

Wen Jing said again: "I don't want to send you so abruptly...... But my dad is like this, he can get close to anyone, don't you mind. He praised you in front of the big chief, and he also wanted to push you, this is his kindness!"

"I know...... But I don't need to. ”

"When will I see you next?"

"Don't look for me......"

"Remember the song I sang, no matter where you are, I can get on the floating subway and find you!"

Wen Jing said very firmly, and without waiting for Qiao Nan to refute, she pushed him away and said loudly: "Brother of the People's Liberation Army, you have worked hard! Take care, I will be grateful to you forever." ”

Qiao Nan was embarrassed by their father and daughter, said goodbye to this circle of people, and returned to the team. Qiao Nan thought for a long time and didn't understand, so he asked Lao Feng: "Didn't the company commander say that this person is running a security company, let me be cautious? Why did you introduce him to the big chief?"

Lao Feng said: "People are doing serious business, and there are a few employees in his company who have served in our unit, and they are very prosperous in his place." As soon as he talked about this, he chatted with Lao Ji and them speculatively. I heard that he was very familiar with the people at the diplomatic service center, and many of the security guards of embassies and consulates abroad were sent from him. ”

Qiao Nan was secretly surprised, he was in the same system, of course he knew how big the unit Lao Feng just said was. Father Wen can have a relationship with these people, and he should be very powerful. But I don't know why, Qiao Nan faintly rejected him.
