Chapter 16 Brothers

Listening to what his own Lao Tzu said, Chen Geng could already imagine how those people in the yard said about their father behind their backs, "missing hearts and eyes" were the lightest, and "broken brains" was the mainstream, and it was not necessary to mention being pointed at behind his back and taking warning...... It is conceivable that my father's life during this period is not very good.

If you get cheap, you have to sell well, Chen Geng said with a smile: "Let you be wronged, don't worry, your son will prove to everyone sooner or later that your decision is wise...... Come on, Dad, you have these two cigarettes......"

"! Chinese?! Originally, I was going to ask Chen Geng, how sure Chen Hongjun was this time, but when he saw the two pieces of China that his son stuffed into his hands, he was immediately taken aback: "Where did you come from?" ”

"Before I came back, I helped our leader a little, and the leader gave it."

"Oh......"

Chen Hongjun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes immediately became eager, he rubbed his hands happily twice, and then unceremoniously tore it open, opening one of the boxes of beautiful swallowing clouds and spitting out the mist: "Hey, this son is not raised in vain, the first time I smoked the cigarette that my son gave me was Zhonghua, tsk......"

"That's it! Don't look at whose son I am, don't worry, don't dare to say anything else in the future, good cigarettes will be enough for you. Chen Geng grinned and patted his father's ass.

"I'm content with your stinky boy...... Stinky boy, if you tell me the truth, how sure are you in your heart? Don't look at the beginning, Chen Hongjun did everything in order to let his son come back, but now after all, it is different from the past, Cheng Hongjun asked seriously: "The leaders of the military region have told me, you are the first graduate of Huaqing University in our military region, and the leaders mean that they hope that you can stay in the military region headquarters, if you really feel that you are not sure enough, just stay in the military region headquarters honestly for me, don't feel ashamed, no one will say anything about you." ”

Chen Geng understood very well the excitement of the military region leaders about a student from Huaqing University who had fallen from the sky.

The army in the 80s was an extremely difficult situation, because of the large-scale disarmament and the shift of the focus of work to economic construction, the army was in short supply of funds, technology, and talent...... In the headquarters of a huge military region, less than 10 percent of the high-quality personnel with a bachelor's degree or above are from colleges and universities such as Huaqing, Peking University, and the National People's Congress, and there is not a single one, which can be described as extremely miserable.

Chen Geng is a top student of Huaqing University, not only mastering three foreign languages at the same time, English, Russian and German, but also knows computers, the most important thing is that he is a child of the army, is a descendant of the roots, knowing the news that Chen Geng is coming, the bigwigs of the entire East China Military Region are excited and crazy, they never thought that this kind of good thing could fall on their heads, let such a person go to the factory below? No leader refused, there was no real tyrannical thing.

To be more realistic, with Chen Geng, a high-achieving student of Huaqing, in the headquarters, the leaders of the East China Military Region can be a little more confident than the heads of other military regions when they go out for meetings: Our military region has students from Huaqing University, do you have them?

But Chen Geng's family knows his own affairs, but his attitude is very resolute: "Dad, I know what you said, but I still have to go down." ”

"If you don't do the work in the office, you have to go down to the workshop, what do you think?" Chen Hongjun sighed resignedly: "Give me something, I'll hang it in front for you...... Okay, get in the car ......"

He completely forgot that in order to "persuade" his son to go down to the workshop, he slapped his son hard.

Although the No. 3 Ordnance Maintenance Plant of the East China Military Region is a role that grandmothers do not love and uncles do not love among the factories directly under the East China Military Region, but in the locality, it is also a well-known medium-sized factory, as a large-scale military equipment maintenance enterprise, the factory covers an area of more than 1,200 acres, and the number of employees is more than 600 people, counting military families and children, there are more than 1,200 people living here.

Many people are easy to confuse factories directly under the army with military factories, but in fact, factories directly under the army and military factories are completely different things, what is a military factory, and the factory whose ownership belongs to the army is a factory directly under the army; What are military factories, those that produce guns and ammunition, aircraft, tanks, warships, cannons, torpedoes, shells...... And so on the factories of military equipment, that is, military factories.

An obvious difference between the two is that the leadership of the factories directly under the army is basically all officers, and the grassroots workers are all soldiers, not to mention the guest houses directly under the army, even the director of a pig farm is also an active officer, and the workers in the pig farm are all active soldiers, and the unit must obey the management of the leadership of the military organization to which it belongs, and the internal management is also militarized management, and even a certain amount of military training must be maintained;

The leading cadres in the military factories are all state cadres, and the workers in them are state workers, although there are also representatives of the army stationed in the factory, but the army does not count, the military representatives are only for the mutual contact and exchange between the factory and the army, their direct superiors are the Ministry of Aviation Industry, the Ministry of Ordnance Industry and other units, simply put, these units are state-owned enterprises, but because of the sensitivity of the products, there will be a variety of strict confidentiality regulations.

In the early and mid-80s, all the factories directly under the army were full of soldiers from top to bottom, and only the tertiary production companies of the factories directly under the army would recruit some military dependents and children without military status, relatives of officers, and local related households.

However, after the end of the 80s, there were more and more enterprises directly under the army, not only traditional guest houses, factories, hotels, song halls, bathing centers, these things also appeared, and the situation became more and more chaotic, and the central leaders began to vigorously rectify this situation, and the result of rectification was that in the vast majority of the factories owned by the army, only the most core few or even the top leaders were active officers, and the people below were basically all recruited from the society.

At present, the No. 3 Ordnance Repair Plant of the East China Military Region is still in the last "pure" era.

Before Cheng Hongjun's "black eagle" arrived at the gate of the factory, Chen Geng saw an acquaintance from a distance, and hurriedly patted Cheng Hongjun on the back and said loudly: "Dad, stop." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the motorcycle to stop, Chen Geng jumped out of the car and shouted at the person in front of him who was walking out of the yard with his head down: "Second child, second child, why are you going?" ”

"The third?" Hearing Chen Geng's voice, the man who was walking with his head down looked up and saw Chen Geng, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately rushed over, and said with excitement and joy: "It's really you, the third child?" ”

The second brother is not Chen Geng's second brother, he is the third ordnance repair factory and grew up with Chen Geng, everyone grew up together, and the relationship is very good, and when he was fourteen or fifteen years old, he simply got married as a brother, according to the age of Chen Geng, the third is the oldest, and the real name of the guy in front of him who is called the second by Chen Geng is Zhang Xiangyang.

"Isn't that me," Chen Geng enthusiastically punched Zhang Xiangyang on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm a ghost standing in front of you?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" Zhang Xiangyang smirked and touched his head, but when he saw Chen Hongjun on the side, his eyes suddenly became a little complicated, and he stopped talking: "You...... Really coming back? ”

"Well, I'm back," Chen Geng's excitement at seeing his old friend for the first time made Chen Geng not notice Zhang Xiangyang's flickering eyes, and said excitedly: "By the way, what are you doing here?" ”

"I ...... I'm going out to do something......"

"Oh," Chen Geng nodded, and didn't think much about it: "Nacheng, you go, remember to come to my house for dinner in the evening." ”

"Good...... Good. ”

"Let's go back and talk about it," Chen Geng said, took out two packs of Chinese from his bag, and stuffed them into Zhang Xiangyang's hand: "Take it and smoke it!" ”

Seeing the Chinese cigarette in his hand, Zhang Xiangyang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly returned it to Chen Geng, and said hurriedly: "No, no, no, this cigarette is too expensive, you should keep it yourself......"

"Isn't it just a box of cigarettes," Zhang Xiangyang said, stuffing the cigarette back into Zhang Xiangyang's hand, Chen Geng said: "Are you still so polite with me?" Well, this is for you, and I'll send him my uncle's share later. ”

Looking at the cigarette that Chen Geng forced into his hand, Zhang Xiangyang hesitated for a moment and finally did not refuse, and said in a low voice: "Third child, thank you......"

"Be so polite to me, are you sour," Chen Geng waved his hand and said, "Aren't you going out to do something, don't rub it off, hurry up, and come back as soon as you're done." ”

"Good!" Zhang Xiangyang nodded heavily.

"By the way, remember to come to my house at night and call all the other brothers."

"Okay, wrap it up on me!" Zhang Xiangyang responded happily.

It wasn't until he entered the gate of the factory that Chen Geng whispered to his father: "Dad, why do I think Xiangyang is a little wrong today?" I don't think I'm in a lot of interest. ”

"Where can it go, Xiang Yang hasn't found a job yet." Chen Hongjun sighed: "I see, he went to the Ministry of Armed Forces and the Civil Affairs Bureau to ask about his work. ”

"How so?" Hearing that Zhang Xiangyang was going to ask about work, Chen Geng was surprised: "Xiangyang has been out of the army for almost one and a half years, right?" Why haven't you settled a job yet? ”

Cheng Hongjun's expression was helpless: "How to place?" Now there are still so many educated youths who have returned to the city, and they have carried out a million-dollar disarmament, so many people, and there are only a few jobs, you say we should do it? I can only wait slowly. ”
