The special surname of the Second Department of the General Staff Department, as well as the natural distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, led to Cheng Qiufang, the wife of a military attache stationed abroad, who has always been able to get together less and leave more with her husband.

Although her husband is not the kind of person who has a long relationship with children, every time he parted, he could find that tears involuntarily blurred his eyes. Only the overwhelming letters, exuding a colorful mood, shine on her life.

"In your absence, I have a new lover, his name is Lonely. He lingered with me under the lamp, took pity on youth, sighed about his childhood, and he generously let his thoughts enter the depths of me and be my companion. People come from accident in this life, and go to inevitability, sigh the ruthlessness of the grass and trees, the metabolism of the sad time, the world is eternal, but life is short......"

Writing this, Cheng Qiufang couldn't write anymore, and just expressed these heart-pounding feelings, she felt that everything in front of her was blank and chaotic. In fact, she would only write such letters, not send them, and like the pilot's wife, she could not distract her husband.

As soon as they arrived in the host country, the restrictions or surveillance on the activities of diplomats there were mainly directed at military attachés like husbands. His every word and deed, every move, is under the surveillance of national intelligence officers. In addition to normal tracking, he is also the target of day and night surveillance by the secret sentinels around the embassy, visual observation by high-powered telescopes, and directional eavesdropping of light waves and microwave signals.

According to the relevant regulations, she can go abroad with her husband when she needs to work, but this "work need" has not been expected. There is nothing the organization can do about it, and it can only be compensated in another way.

So in terms of promotion, she always runs with her rank. As soon as the relationship was confirmed, he was promoted from second lieutenant to deputy company, and after a year in the position of deputy company, he was promoted to the main company. Two years later, just after the wedding, he was naturally promoted to the deputy battalion.

Looking back at the promotion process from second lieutenant to lieutenant colonel regiment, it turned out to be eight years faster than that of ordinary officers. But no matter how she was promoted, she still worked as a writer in the agency compound.

The relatively quiet work of the headquarters means that there is a lot of time to think about it. Thoughts, worries, torment, and even collapse. Because of this, Cheng Qiufang, who wanted to change the environment and change the mood, took the initiative to ask Ying, entrusted the child to her parents-in-law, and came to this hospital where no one wanted to come.

The first time he went down to the grassroots level, not only was the task heavy, but the way was not so justifiable, which made Cheng Qiufang a little like walking on thin ice.

It's nothing if the conditions are simple, after all, the more humble the better. Before she came, she was worried that the target person was a dou who couldn't help up, but what she saw and heard in the past day made her realize that the target person was by no means a fuel-efficient lamp.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing.

After listening to the mobilization meeting in the afternoon, she realized that the health team was by no means as bad as the materials described. Despite the problems of one kind or another, from a political point of view, they can be regarded as a united collective, a collective with combat effectiveness.

Ironclad, she is an outsider, and she is an outsider who came to grab the fruits of victory.

Looking at the materials sorted out by the research team, Cheng Qiufang couldn't help but smile bitterly. I secretly thought that if I didn't untie the knot of peach picking, then the next work really couldn't be carried out.

"Commissar, what are we going to eat at night?"

With a quick knock on the door, there was a crisp shout of Zhu Ping's little girl outside. Cheng Qiufang then remembered that it was dinner time, and hurriedly put down the pen and paper and walked out.

"What about Xiaoping, Xiaolei and Xiaozhang?"

"Wash the car down there!"

Zhu Ping took her arm, walked in the direction of the corridor, pointed to Dean Tian's room, and asked curiously: "Political commissar, is the one we are going to serve so godly in the newspaper?" ”

Cheng Qiufang patted her arm and said with a smile: "It's more divine than that!" He is no longer a college student soldier, but a graduate soldier, and he is also a teaching assistant in the art department of Jiangnan University, that is, a university teacher. ”

Zhu Ping was stunned, and hurriedly let go of Cheng Qiufang's arm, and asked with an incredulous expression: "He came to be a soldier after such a university question, is he sick in the head?" ”

"This is called being enlightened, you know? People are old party members, do you think they are the same as you? ”

Cheng Qiufang's face straightened, and he warned solemnly: "From now on, you have to put yourself in the right position, don't think that there is anything great about coming from the headquarters." The dean is the dean, and if you say anything like a waiter or a guy, I won't punish you. ”

Zhu Ping stuck out her tongue, grimaced, and said stupidly, "Yes, political commissar." ”

Considering that the hospital will have more and more patients, in order to ensure the absolute security of the airport, the barracks unit actually built a high fence outside the three rows of barracks in the military recruitment. This completely isolated the hospital from the infield, and if you want to enter, you have to go through the big camp gate.

But in this way, the hospital also has its own compound. Along the corridor across the wall from Factory 315 Hospital, two white Santanas were parked in front of the future director's office.

Unlike Zhu Ping, a hygienist, Lei Tianquan and Zhang Kai, two volunteer drivers, prefer this place. After all, the emperor is far away, and he is a leader of the amiable elder sister, unlike all leaders in the headquarters organs, and they have to salute when they look up. What's more, the hometown of the two is in Province J, and Zhang Kai is a native of Longjiang.

Seeing the political commissar and Zhu Ping coming over, the two immediately put down the water pipe in their hands, and said with a smile: "Political commissar, are we changing into air force uniforms?" When I went out to buy cigarettes just now, the streets were full of air forces, and the way I looked at them was like watching monkeys in a zoo, which was too awkward. ”

Without waiting for the political commissar to speak, Zhu Ping shook his head again and again and said: "Don't change, don't change, we are the army and not the air force, why change?" Those pants are ugly and dead, and I want to change them for you. ”

I have to admit that the pants of the Air Force soldiers are too blue and too blue. Even Dean Tian didn't like the eye-catching blue pants, as long as he couldn't wear them, he resolutely wouldn't wear them.

If you want to integrate into this collective, you can't do it without changing into the uniform of the Air Force. Cheng Qiufang pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Xiao Lei reminded me right, I will arrange this matter tomorrow." ”

"Commissar, you're not going to come, are you?"

The little girl was anxious, stomped her little feet, and said with a painful face: "The blue pants are big and fat, how ugly and ugly they are, I knew that I wouldn't come." ”

There are many female officers in the Air D Division, but there is not a single female soldier in the Air D Division. If Zhu Ping is asked to change into a soldier's uniform, he will also become the focus of attention. Cheng Qiufang weighed it and said with a faint smile: "Xiaoping, how about changing into a lieutenant uniform for you and carrying the student card?" ”

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then shouted happily: "The captain's uniform is the captain's uniform, I have no opinion." Sister Cheng, you are really a good political commissar, you are so understanding. ”

"Be empathetic, let's eat!"

When they first arrived, the four of them didn't dare to go far, so they simply solved the problem at the snack bar opposite. As Xiao Lei just said, as soon as he walked into the old squad leader's shop, he became the focus of attention.

Fish-flavored shredded pork, boiled pork slices, garlic chrysanthemum, fried leeks, and tomato and egg soup were served one after another. The home-cooked dishes with full color and flavor, fragrant white rice, the four of them ate with relish.

Compared to other restaurants, these four dishes and one soup are not expensive, but they are not cheap either.

If you eat like this every meal, the food cost is only enough to last for half a month. Thinking of this, Cheng Qiufang looked around at the three of them, and said thoughtfully: "Xiao Lei, tomorrow morning, you go buy a gas stove, add some pots and spoons, and we will cook the rice ourselves in the future." One is to save food costs, and the other is more hygienic than outside. ”

Before Xiao Lei could speak, he had already noticed that their old squad leader came over, crossed his waist with one hand, pointed to the food on the table with the other, and asked indignantly: "This comrade, what did you just say?" Say I'm unhygienic? ”

"I'm sorry, boss, I really didn't mean that." Cheng Qiufang reacted, and hurriedly explained embarrassedly: "I'll just make an analogy, do you understand?" ”

"Not at all!"

The old squad leader was not happy, so he slapped the table a few times, and shouted angrily at the other officers and soldiers who were dining in the small shop: "Comrades, these people say that I am unhygienic. You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately, please tell him that I am unhygienic here. ”

The fire control division of the aircraft maintenance brigade who was dining by the door glanced back, and after finding that he had the highest military rank, he stood up without hesitation, pointed at the old squad leader and laughed: "The old squad leader is a person who has been cooking in the air service stove for more than ten years, not only the division commander and political commissar have eaten the food he cooks, but even the commander of the air force of the military region will come here to sit here whenever he has time when he comes to our division to inspect the work." Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, you're making a big joke. ”

Looking at the old squad leader's smug expression, Cheng Qiufang realized that he had really said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained with a smile: "Old squad leader, we just came here today, and we really don't know this. Those who don't know are not guilty, you have a lot of adults, but you can't care about us. ”

"That's pretty much it."

The old squad leader waved his hand and said in high spirits: "Since you just came, then I invited this meal." ”

"Old squad leader, we also demand equal treatment."

"yes, yes, when we first came, you didn't even give you a discount!"

Seeing the coaxing of the officers and soldiers, the old squad leader turned around unhurriedly, pointed to the outpatient building opposite, and laughed: "Can you bastards compare with others?" They were the people who came out of the hospital, my neighbors, and they had to see each other every day. What about you...... I only came out once in ten days and a half months, and I was counting on doing your business, so I didn't drink the northwest wind? ”

Everyone burst into laughter, scrambling to make fun of the old squad leader, saying that he was not righteous, saying that he was open-minded when he saw money, and even a few boys swore that they would never come again next time.

After the joke ended, the old squad leader pulled over a stool and sat down, looked at them curiously, and asked with a smile: "Comrade Army, you are the doctors who have just been transferred, right?" ”

"It's not."

Without waiting for Cheng Qiufang to speak, Zhu Ping put down the dishes and chopsticks, and introduced with a fluttering eyebrow: "This is our chief and the political commissar of Longjiang Air Force Hospital. I'm a hygienist and both of them are drivers. Old squad leader, from now on, we will really become neighbors. ”

"Commissar?"

"Yes."

Looking at the stunned look of the old squad leader, Cheng Qiufang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Cheng Qiufang, political commissar of Longjiang Air Force Hospital." Old squad leader, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

The old squad leader was happy, pointed in the direction of the outpatient building, and asked with a smile: "Political Commissar Cheng, if you come like this, will Xiao Tian, the dean, do you still do it?" ”

"He's still the dean."

Looking at the unbelievable look of the old squad leader, Cheng Qiufang had to explain: "The Air Force Hospital is an out-of-establishment hospital, so naturally it can't be set by the level of the troops. I, the political commissar, are here to cooperate with him, to help him, and to deal with some trivial and miscellaneous matters. ”

In the eyes of the old squad leader, Dean Tian is a capable person! After all, from the day he was assigned to the outpatient clinic, there was an endless stream of cars looking for him.

And the old squad leader also heard about the fact that the blind man got out, Jiang Zhengbao came to power, and the eighteen old experts. I was looking forward to the hospital being able to start under the leadership of Dean Tian, and my small shop was also stained with light, but I didn't expect a political commissar to come for some reason.

Seeing that they didn't seem to be joking, the old squad leader couldn't help but say after thinking about it: "It's not easy for Xiao Tian to be the dean, and it's even more difficult for the outpatient clinic to have today." Don't you think they're soldiers...... Do him badly, and the neighbors will be staring at you. ”

"Old squad leader, it seems that you care about the hospital very much." Cheng Qiufang nodded, and asked with a casual smile: "By the way, are you very familiar with Dean Tian?" ”

"Can you not be familiar with each other every day?"

The old squad leader lit a cigarette and said happily: "Xiao Tian is not an ordinary person, he doesn't have a shelf at all, and he can talk to all the neighbors on the airport road. ”

What rack can a soldier have?

Cheng Qiufang was confused by the old squad leader's words, but in order to understand the partner who had not yet met from the side, he still joked along the line: "Old squad leader, you have worked in the army for so many years, and even the division commander and political commissar respect you for three points, who dares to put up a fight in front of you?" ”

"Cheng political commissar, these are two different things."

The old squad leader's face was straight, and he said solemnly: "The division commander and political commissar often come to sit with me, because I have no credit and hard work, and that is to care about me." To put it mildly...... Have pity on me. Xiao Tian is different, we are equal, if I want to go grocery shopping, I can ask him to help me watch the door for a while, and I can ask him to help me when I can't be busy at night. ”

"Old squad leader, you're really joking. Although he is the dean, he is only a soldier, can he be compared with the division commander and political commissar? Without waiting for Cheng Qiufang to speak, Xiao Lei couldn't help but smile and asked.

A few days ago, when I saw Ren Ran, member of the Standing Committee of the Longjiang Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Working Committee of the Development Zone, on TV, the old squad leader felt that he was very familiar. It wasn't until yesterday afternoon that the bus company came to move the stop sign, and the old squad leader remembered that Dean Tian had muttered about it, and only then did he remember that Secretary Ren had come to the shop, and his attitude towards Xiao Tian was really respectful.

The Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee is an official with more real power than the division commander and the political commissar, and then linked to the No. 16 car of the Municipal Party Committee that Dean Tian once sits, thinking that he can drink with the political commissar, and thinking of beating Liang Guishan like that, but he has nothing to do, the old squad leader directly thinks that Dean Tian must be [***].

If it weren't for [***], how could you invite eighteen experts and professors at once? Since it is [***], why can't it be compared with the division commander's political commissar?

But these words can only be buried in the heart, what can be said and what cannot be said, the old squad leader can still weigh it clearly. What's more, it's so rare to be able to make friends with such a big person, maybe one day you will have to ask someone to carry your unsuccessful son!

Because of this, the old squad leader stopped in the middle of his words, pointed to the food on the table, and reiterated the free order, and ended the topic under the pretext that there was something in the kitchen.
