For the entire thirty nights, Jiang Chen didn't sleep much. After the phone call was over, Jiang Chen and Lei Jun called Political Commissar Fang Xinghua and Chief of Staff Du Zhiguo over, and then asked people to make a few side dishes and add the dishes sent by Secretary Liu, so several people dragged their shirts in the room and drank wine. This drinking depends on who you drink with, and it is the amount of alcohol that you drink with outsiders, and it is comfortable to drink with your own people. Several people are not outsiders, and they all know each other's alcohol consumption, plus there are other things to do on the first day of the Lunar New Year tomorrow, so several people are more leisurely and stop ordering. In fact, the main thing is not to drink, but to connect with feelings, and when feelings arrive, there is nothing to drink.

After drinking, it was late at night, and a few people didn't clean up much, so they closed their clothes and squinted on the spot for a while. Before he could sleep, someone knocked on the door and said that the time was up, and the chief called over. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and in accordance with the tradition of our army, we would like to go to various grassroots units to express our condolences to the vast number of officers and men. Although this was a drill, the old man also adhered to this tradition. However, before he went, the secretaries had already arranged the itinerary, and the old man specially called Jiang Chen as an escort to comfort the troops. Of course, since the old man said it, Jiang Chen didn't dare to disobey, so he agreed, and Lei Jun also went with him to accompany the old man to comfort the troops. As for the chief of staff and the political commissar, their task today is to go and visit the three squads of the special operations brigade on both sides. Although in other people's troops, they will definitely not be wronged, but as the leader of the army, you should still visit everyone during the festival. Especially the team members who are still performing tasks in this wilderness need the care of their superiors.

It is said that the two sides are currently conducting New Year's Eve exercises, so there should be no time for the holiday. But this can also be regarded as a tacit understanding between the red and blue sides. Since 12 o'clock yesterday, there has been no shouting on the positions of both sides, and everyone is thinking about letting the soldiers under their command have a good year in peace. Even in the morning, the director's department learned about it through the fair channel. The red and blue sides sent messages of condolences to each other, which made the people in the exercise command and dispatch department laugh. It is not in accordance with the regulations to stop the drill on time, but the old man waved his hand and said, it is rare that both sides are concerned about their subordinates, so they can't be evildoers, so they acquiesced. However, according to the rules of the exercise. Both sides are still at war, and each side may give the other a sudden attack at any time. Of course it won't, Jiang Chen doesn't know for the time being.

The old man and his party first came to an infantry division of the Red Army. When the division leaders learned that the leaders had arrived, they waited in front of the camp early, and hurriedly greeted the old men when they arrived. After the old man and the leaders of these divisions were polite, they ordered not to stay at their division headquarters, but to take a look at the troops below. At first, the division leaders were still a little embarrassed, because they didn't expect the old man to carry out a surprise attack, because the news they received did not include this. But under the old man's examination. The division leader could only come to the infantry company that was located under a small hill for training. This infantry company didn't know that a leader was coming, but when it saw a large number of people coming, it was a little panicked, and even thought of them as Blue Army troops at first. In the end, it became clear that it was the chief who came to their troops to offer condolences, and then hurriedly welcomed the people in.

Of course, the leaders can't send their condolences to the troops empty-handed, the troops pay attention to benefits, and the leaders are the same. The entourage carried them half a slice of pork and a few bags of white flour to the camp and their fighters to the kitchen. Half a slice of pork is half of the pig killed from the middle. And a few bags of white flour are really few, although they seem to be quite a lot. But let this even be divided by more than 100 people, that is really very little. There is no way, in this era, there is a shortage of materials, and military spending is relatively tight, so the old man can't come up with much money. Listening to Secretary Liu, the old man and the old general also took out a part of their allowance to buy this thing. This made Jiang Chen blush a little. It is said that if he is a person here, he is the richest, and he should pay for more condolences, but he ignored this matter. I just let the transport plane go back to Anxi and get some condolences for the special operations team. And ignore everyone. This really shouldn't be, these ordinary soldiers at the grassroots level need more care from society.

When Jiang Chen and the others came, they were just in time for the soldiers to have breakfast. And the old man also intended to eat a little here, but at first the division leader disagreed, saying that the division was ready, why don't you go back and eat. However, at the insistence of the old man, the soldiers of the cooking squad of this company nervously served a bowl to the old man, including several old generals and Jiang Chen. At the beckoning of the old man, everyone sat down and began to eat. Jiang Chen picked up a dumpling and frowned as soon as he bit it, this is a dumpling filled with cabbage and meat, it is a cabbage dumpling, and there is no meat star in sight. Jiang Chen ate several times before he saw a little minced meat in a dumpling. It seems that the conditions of the troops are really hard, and the soldiers will be allowed to eat this during the New Year, Jiang Chen can't help but feel a little distressed. But the old man did not speak, and the crowd could not speak, so they all ate quietly.

After the old man finished eating a few dumplings in the bowl, he took a sip of soup and said with a smile: "This is the best vegetarian dumpling I have ever tasted." ”

Hearing this, the face of the division leader darkened. Just now, the company commander introduced them to cabbage and meat dumplings, which became vegetarian dumplings in the old man's mouth. As a leader with troops, why don't you understand the situation here? So the division commander hurriedly said: "Chief, our work is not in place, you can punish us." ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "This is not your problem, it is a mistake on the part of our leadership." Now we are relatively tight on funds, so we did not let the soldiers have a good year. That's right, we're sorry for everyone. ”

"Chief, we 、、、" The division commander still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the old man: "I don't mean to blame you, it is not easy for you to lead troops at the grassroots level, we understand." It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, I've been a housekeeper, I know. ”

"Thank you for your understanding, we will definitely work hard in this area in the future, so that the soldiers can be well fed and clothed. The division commander was a little excited when he saw that the old man understood them.

Well, the old man nodded and turned his head to Jiang Chen and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, are the dumplings delicious?" ”

Jiang Chen saw the old man asking him, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Although I didn't eat the meat star, the taste of this cabbage filling is not bad, to be honest, I still want to eat some." ”

"Hahaha. Everyone was amused by Jiang Chen's truthful words. And the old man also smiled and said, "It's okay to eat if you want to, but you can't eat other people's food for nothing." Among us people, you kid has a thicker pocket, so why don't you take it out and let the soldiers have a good year? ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him with a smile, Jiang Chen said with a smile: "Okay, I just ate a total of six dumplings, then I'll take out six thousand yuan, how about you look at the six or six Shun lottery heads." ”

"Hahaha, do you still have dumplings, hurry up and give this kid a few more, maybe he will make up a perfect one." The old man pointed to the division commander on the side and joked to Jiang Chen. The old man was already very satisfied, you must know that six thousand yuan was a huge amount of money at this time, even he didn't expect Jiang Chen to take so much, so he was even more kind to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen also knew that the old man was making fun of himself, so he touched the pole and said, "Chief, you spare me, a thousand dumplings, eat a few more, I have to go bankrupt." ”

"Hahaha!" (To be continued.) )
