Staff Officer Song is a very mature and steady person, although he has a thousand thoughts in his heart, he didn't show it, let alone ask about the military car, and enthusiastically let Qin Zihe and Zhao Wei go to the barracks, and one of the lieutenant officers got the signal from Staff Officer Song, took the car key in Qin Zihe's hand, and drove the car to a row of barracks and parked it.

Staff Officer Song let Qin Zihe and Zhao Wei into a small living room in the barracks, and there were not many furnishings in the small reception, which was very neat and simple. Inside is two single sofas in the middle of a tea table, there is a couch on each side, in front of the sofa there is a long coffee table, at a glance you know that the two single sofas are the main seat, the couches on both sides are the guest seats, and the whole small living room can accommodate seven or eight people.

Staff Officer Song let Qin Zihe sit on the single sofa in the main seat, and he sat on a single sofa in another one, indicating that he was the top leader of the army to receive Qin Zihe and them, one of the three people who followed him was a captain officer, and two were lieutenant officers, seeing that Staff Officer Song and Qin Zihe sat down, he sat on the couch on the side of Staff Officer Song, and Zhao Wei consciously sat on the couch on Qin Zihe's side, and the two young soldiers who came in made tea for everyone and retreated.

Staff Officer Song took a sip of tea and said: "After Director Qin took office, we are very pleased that he has attached so much importance to the work of joint construction of the military and the people, and the work of joint construction of the military and the people is also an important indicator for the superiors to evaluate us. At the beginning of this year, Director Li of the Political Department gave many instructions on the military-civilian joint construction work of the troops, and we should raise this work to a higher level within the year, and our troops have also made some efforts, but the results are not good; since Director Qin can come in person today, I feel that there is hope for this work, and on behalf of our division and our Political Department, I would like to extend a warm welcome to Director Qin's arrival! ”

Staff Officer Song's opening remarks were neither humble nor arrogant, and they did not show a drop of water, which not only showed the willingness of the troops to do a good job in the joint construction of the military and the people, and took action, but also implicitly explained that the local people did not cooperate, this place of course refers to the Tiedong Sub-district Office, and expressed a friendly welcome to Qin Zihe's attention to this work.

Of course, Qin Zihe understood the meaning of Staff Officer Song's words, who let Tiedong Street be made like that by Song Shiping, smiled and said: "Staff Officer Song is too polite, as the director of the street office of your department, it is my duty to do a good job in this work, I have been in Tiedong Street for almost a month, because some things in the work have not been timed, and it is about to be the August 1st Army Day, I want to take this opportunity to jointly carry out a few activities with the troops to promote the development of the military-civilian joint construction work." ”

Speaking of this, Qin Zihe paused, glanced at Staff Officer Song, and said in an accentuated tone: "I have great respect for the soldiers, I admire their noble character, their iron will, and their fearless spirit of not being afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice in order to defend the country!" Because, I grew up in the army colony! ”

When Staff Officer Song began to listen to Qin Zihe talk about how to respect the soldiers, he thought that he was just polite words, those were all in books, and they were very high, if they read the books that said this, it was okay, but there was a feeling of unreality when they came out of their mouths. But Qin Zihe's last sentence that I grew up in the army headquarters since I was a child moved him, thinking of the military vehicle he drove, Qin Zihe's real surname is very high, a person who came out of the army compound said something, he no longer had that feeling of emptiness, and immediately paid attention to Qin Zihe.

Of course, Staff Officer Song knew what it meant to grow up in the army headquarters, and at this time, the family members who could accompany the army were generally officers at the regimental level and above, and the family members of battalion officers also accompanied the army, but they were generally boiled out of seniority or technical arms, and this situation was of course rare. That is to say, when Qin Zihe was young, his father had to be at least a regimental officer, and although it is impossible to guess which level he is now, it must not be too low. Qin Zihe deliberately only talked about the military compound in general, but did not say the military commission compound, otherwise Staff Officer Song might not have any expression.

Staff Officer Song thought for a while and couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect Director Qin to come from a military family!" Don't know where your parents are now? ”

Qin Zihe had expected that Staff Officer Song would ask this question, and he had already prepared the answer, he said with a little sadness: "My parents were absent when I was very young, and I was always taken by my aunt, and later I went to the United States with my aunt, and I returned to China to work after graduating from Columbia University. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that, it caused you sadness!" Staff Officer Song obviously didn't expect this to be the case, and hurriedly apologized. But Qin Zihe's words conveyed a clear message, and now his family is no longer in the army.

Qin Zihe hurriedly said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter, it's all a matter of how many years ago." Now that I think about it, I still really miss the days in the army compound! ”

This topic has come to an end here, Staff Officer Song changed the topic in time, looked at Qin Zihe and asked, "Director Qin just said that he wants to carry out a few activities, do you have any specific ideas?" ”

Qin Zihe said: "I haven't thought of the specific idea when I came, but when I came here just now, I saw the field of your troops and had a little idea. ”

"What thoughts?" Staff Officer Song couldn't help asking.

Qin Zihe said: "When I passed by your playground just now, I saw that some of the facilities there were very old, and my idea was that our street would pay some money to buy a batch of sports facilities for you, which can be regarded as a little heart of our street!" Qin Zihe counted in his heart that the sports facilities on the field of the army were nothing more than single parallel bars, blue ball racks and football goals, which didn't cost much at all.

Staff Officer Song was very happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then how embarrassed are we, I also know the situation on your streets!" ”

Qin Zihe said: "That was before, and now the situation on the street is much better, and these expenses are still affordable." I know that there is no shortage of literary and artistic talents in the troops, and we will mobilize the units in the jurisdiction to put out a few programs and hold a gala party together, so we will build up the momentum first. ”

"yes, that's a great idea! That's what our troops are thinking about! Qin Zihe's suggestion was very welcome by Staff Officer Song, he was very experienced in this area, so he discussed it with Qin Zihe warmly, and several other officers and Zhao Wei also joined in, which has the meaning of finalizing this contact party now.

Everyone discussed for a while, and the general situation of the gala was implemented, as for the details, the two sides needed to communicate again, and Staff Officer Song had a good heart, and invited Qin Zihe to drink tea again and again.

Qin Zihe drank a few sips of the cup and saw that it was almost over, looked at Staff Officer Song and said, "Staff Officer Song, I don't know if your Senior Commander Zhao is not at home, if you are, can you introduce me for me, there is a big matter in our street that I want to ask for his help." ”

As soon as Staff Officer Song heard that Qin Zihe wanted to see their division commander, he immediately became vigilant, and instinctively said: "Our division commander and political commissar are receiving the head of the military region, and we really don't have time to see you, if there is anything you might as well talk to him first, see if you can help you solve it, and if I can't solve it, I will report to the chief." ”

The head of the troops stationed in the area did not say that he could meet him if he wanted to, but he had to make an appointment in advance for the secretary of the municipal party committee, and Staff Officer Song did not have this power, and he also had the director of the political department above him, and if he wanted to see him, he had to report to the director of the political department first, and the director of the political department and the division commander could communicate before deciding whether to see or not. Staff Officer Song could only prevaricate like this.

Qin Zihe knew that this Senior Commander Zhao would not be able to see him today, but he had to convey his meaning to him, so he said, "That's really a pity!" Recently, our street wants to build a road in the jurisdiction, and as you can see, the road that your troops often take, it is not too much to say that it is a muddy road! It takes a lot of money to build roads, but we can't solve it with the financial resources of our city alone, so we want to ask the army to solve part of it, and then the railway department will solve part of it, so that the three of them will jointly fund the road repair, which is also part of the joint construction of the military and the people, so I want to talk to you, Division Commander Zhao. ”

It was only at this time that Staff Officer Song understood the real purpose of Qin Zihe's coming, the beginning of sending sports facilities and galas was all foreshadowing, and in the end it was the money to build the road! He doesn't know how much it will cost to build the road, but it will definitely not be less, let the army spend so much money to help build a place at one time, he has never had a precedent for being a soldier for so many years, let alone Commander Zhao, even he will not agree.

Since he felt good about Qin Zihe, Staff Officer Song still asked politely: "How much will it cost you to build the road this time?" ”

Qin Zihe said: "We have calculated that we need about 1.5 million, and it is really difficult for us in the city, otherwise we will not ask the army for help, as long as the army can solve one-third of it for me!" "This number was said by Qin Zihe at will, only a lot more, if you calculate it specifically, you will definitely not need so much money, he is a lion's mouth.

Staff Officer Song was taken aback when he heard this, you really dare to open your mouth in Tiedong Street, let our troops take 500,000 with one mouth, you think the troops are Tang monk meat, everyone wants to take a bite! Although he was not satisfied, he still said politely: "Director Qin, I will report this matter to the division chief, but don't hold out any hope, because there is no precedent!" ”

Seeing that this was the case, Qin Zihe got up and Zhao Wei was leaving, and Staff Officer Song just politely asked them to eat in the army at noon. Qin Zihe politely refused that there was still something on the street side that had to go back, but Staff Officer Song didn't mention it again, if there was no such thing as asking for money, Staff Officer Song would definitely resolutely keep it.

Staff Officer Song sent Qin Zihe and Zhao Wei to the car and waved goodbye, Qin Zihe started the car and didn't drive, but stuck his head out and said to Staff Officer Song: "Staff Officer Song, where is the gas station of your troops, my car is out of gas!" ”

As soon as Staff Officer Song heard this, he became angry in his heart, what does it matter to our troops when your car runs out of gas, are you not even willing to pay for gas? Despite this, he still controlled himself and said with a blank face: "Our gas station only refuels military vehicles!" ”

Qin Zihe smiled and said, "Aren't I also a military vehicle, and I also have a refueling certificate from the Songjiang Military Region!" As he spoke, he took out the refueling card and handed it to Staff Officer Song.

Qin Zihe's move was not a few short of money, but sent a strong message to Staff Officer Song, urging him to report the matter of road repair to Division Commander Zhao.
