Comrade Yang Shan turned around under the big locust tree with his hands behind his back, turned around twice, and hit the tree with his back.
In this yard, the old man who can circle around the big locust tree twice without fainting and hit the tree without falling down is worthy of pride.
At 9 o'clock, Yang Shan felt that his physical exercise was okay, so he went to the cafeteria with the other two old men to eat slowly, and there was a chat without a word on the way.
The content of the chat is all kinds of things, including about children and grandchildren, about national policies, and about memories of the past.
However, they don't talk about their children and grandchildren much now, and Yang Shan has an eldest grandson who is studying at Peking University, so that's it, so that others are too lazy to talk about this topic.
The food provided in the canteen of the dry rest house is more like an athlete's meal than the canteen of the sports school, that is, in terms of the supply of protein, maybe there will be more, and there will be fish, meat, eggs and milk in the morning.
Comrade Yang Shan's appetite was not small, and after eating a bowl of porridge, drinking a bowl of milk, and eating some side dishes, he patted his stomach and said with a smile: "Who would have thought that New China has been established for more than 30 years, and a few of us can still eat and sleep." β
"It's you old boy who can eat and sleep, I got up at 5 o'clock this morning and couldn't sleep. The old man Cui, who was sitting opposite him, ate two cakes in one go, wiped his mouth, and said, "Besides, I like to drink millet porridge, but they don't give it." β
"I'm afraid you'll hurt your stomach. Yang Shan said angrily: "Where is anyone who drinks four meals of millet porridge all day and night." β
"What's the matter? I think they're afraid I'll make them poor. Old man Cui pushed the bowl in front of him and said, "Eat these every day, and don't let people order food, before liberation, you guys who opened a shop like this had to starve yourself to death." β
In the latter sentence, he shouted loudly to the window.
The waiter and the cook behind the window pretended not to hear and giggled.
In the state-run hotel outside, just like that, the clerk can quarrel with you for a day, but in the cadre rest house, quarreling with the old cadres is the least cost-effective, regardless of whether you win the quarrel or not, the old cadre is angry, and the leader will punish you, and the old cadre is not angry, and he will most likely beat your body.
Good-natured old men are common outside, but not necessarily in dry rest houses.
Yang Shanle also shouted: "I think there must be someone who is corrupt." β
"That's right, it should be thoroughly investigated. β
"Thoroughly!"
"Look carefully. β
A group of people shouted for fear that the world would not be chaotic.
The cadres in the cafeteria hurriedly ran in, and after a while of persuasion, they calmed everyone down.
After a while, the director also came, still holding a bag in his hand, and shouted with a smile: "I have received the letter, and everyone who has eaten has come to get the letter." β
As soon as he shouted like this, the old cadres who had nothing to do immediately surrounded him.
Yang Shan also walked over slowly, put on reading glasses, and rummaged through a pile of letters.
They are all a generation accustomed to letters, and they rarely even use landlines, preferring the handwriting on letters.
Yang Shan has been in the army for many years, and has served as the secretary of the township party committee for several terms, and his protΓ©gΓ©s do not know how many times they are old, and new letters come almost every week, so that he can learn about the wider world.
"Old Yang, yours. The old man Cui next to him didn't flip through his own, but found Yang Shan's, handed it to him immediately, and then stood behind Yang Shan curiously, and said, "Hey, it's a letter from the military region." β
Yang Shan nodded a little proudly and said, "Probably which old comrade-in-arms misses me." β
Yang Shan said but turned around, sat on the side and read the letter.
Old man Cui sat across from him, staring curiously at the back of the paper.
Yang Shan suddenly said "yo".
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Old man Cui was more anxious than Yang Shan.
"Letter from the old battalion commander. Yang Shan raised his hand, laughed, and said, "The old battalion commander still remembers me." Haha, a handwritten letter from the old battalion commander!"
"Impossible!"
"Really?"
"Lao Yang, you are not at the level of this panic. β
"I'll see, I'll see. β
The cafeteria was a mess.
Old man Cui also said in disbelief: "Our old battalion commander retired after becoming a general, and now he is still busy on the second line, where does he have time to write to an idler for you." β
Yang Shan also had some self-doubt at this time, looked down a little with reading glasses, and said firmly: "It won't be wrong, only the old battalion commander called me Silly Mountain, and I also recognize his words, I saw his signature when I was a correspondent for him back then." β
"With your eyes, you can still recognize the signature, can you tell the difference between braised pork and braised chicken nuggets?"
"Don't rob, don't rob, I'll read it, I'll read it. Comrade Yang Shan turned the attack into jealousy, and the pride was no longer on his face, but floated out, overflowing the whole city.
The old cadres in the cadre rest house where he is located, even if they are not from a unit, are almost all adjacent troops, and the "old battalion commander" is also a number of generals who have gone out in the Nanhu area.
"You read, you read. Old man Cui stood behind Yang Shan and also put on reading glasses to help watch.
Yang Shan cleared his throat and said, "Listen to it, it starts with: Comrade Yang Shan, hello." β
"That's right. Old man Cui raised his glasses frame to prove that his eyes were good.
Yang Shan also lifted the frame of his glasses, but he read in Mandarin with a smile on his face: "It doesn't seem appropriate to call you Silly Mountain now, after all, we are all old." I heard that you have done a good job as the township mayor and the secretary of the township party committee, like a soldier of our Dahu battalion. β
When Yang Shan read this, he simply stood up, looked around, and laughed.
There are a few people who usually like to be different from him, but now they have turned their eyes away.
Yang Shan was even more excited, coughed heavily, and said, "I'll continue to read." β
"Read!"
The old men were not convinced, but they still wanted to hear it.
Yang Shan laughed twice, lowered his head and continued to read slowly: "I have been paying attention to your work and growth, and I hope that you can continue to work and grow in the next life." β
Yang Shan, who had gray hair, read this, nodded to himself: "I will definitely continue to work and continue to grow." β
"If you grow longer, you'll be old and scum. Old man Cui whispered, causing a burst of laughter.
Yang Shan ignored him, but raised his voice a little, and said, "I envy you for your children's education...... Hearing no, the old battalion commander is very envious of my children's education!"
Yang Shan couldn't wait to look up to the sky and roar three times.
He was old and lacked energy, so he laughed three times and said: "The old battalion commander said that in our generation, the focus of life is on work, and there is less discipline for children. My son didn't make it to school, he joined the army after he went to high school, and he hasn't been to the battlefield until now. My daughter and son-in-law work in the south, and they don't contribute much to the country and the people. The grandchildren also have jobs, however, they still need to accumulate over a long period of time...... I envy you......"
Yang Shan paused and emphasized: "The second time I said I was envious. β
"Yes, we envy you too. "There was an old man who couldn't help it, and there were some signs of anger.
Yang Shancai didn't care, he enjoyed the surrounding atmosphere contentedly, and then said, "I envy you...... Or the second envy just now, the old battalion commander said, you have taught a good grandson, Comrade Yang Rui's attitude of adhering to principles, enduring pressure, and working for the health of the people is worth learning from, and it is also the pride of our Dahu Battalion. β
The more Yang Shan reads, the louder he becomes, and in the closed environment of the canteen, it is simply deafening.
An old man couldn't stand it anymore, and didn't want to listen to him anymore, so he turned around to go out.
Where can Yang Shan let him run away, the old man stood on the stool all of a sudden, and the director of the dry rest house rushed up to help him.
Yang Shan pushed the director's hand, didn't push it away, didn't care, just read aloud: "Finally, I sincerely invite you, if your body allows, to come to Beijing to participate in the National Day celebration on October 1, when there will be some old leaders and old comrades-in-arms of the army, we will drink and talk together, reminisce about the past, and look forward to the future......
The old man who was about to go out covered his ears and wanted to leave.
Yang Shan shouted again with lightning speed: "Lao Tzu is going to Beijing!"
