When Lin Qiangsheng returned to the ward, Lin Qiangdong had already brought the soldiers together one by one.

Everyone sat on two beds in the ward, with two bedside tables in the middle, each soldier held an enamel jar, and the roast chicken was placed on the table, everyone reached out and grabbed the oil, Lin Qiangdong smiled and said to his comrades: "Drink less wine and eat more meat!" ”

He poured half a jar of liquor into each person's cup, and Song Changyou shouted again and again: "Come again, come again!" That's not enough, company commander! ”

The soldiers haven't eaten such a good thing for a long time, and now the table is full of roast chicken, which can be regarded as a solution to the gluttony.

Everyone drank wine and nibbled on roast chicken, and although they were disabled, they tried to avoid the topic as much as possible, and they all laughed happily when they talked about the joy of the battle.

When the wine was almost drunk, the feelings of the soldiers were lowered, and they talked about it a few times, and gradually talked about retirement and future life, especially the young ones couldn't help but start shedding tears.

Lin Qiangsheng learned from their words that the soldier who had lost his legs was called Li Yongguo, the soldier who was blind was called Jiang Jinping, and the warrior who was missing an arm and half a leg was called Guo Yubao.

The disabled fighters were almost well in the hospital, and some were lucky enough to be injured and returned to the team without any major problems. As for the disabled soldiers, the troops only gave less than 100 yuan in disability allowance, which is not as good as a few hundred yuan for direct death.

The troops could not accept these disabled soldiers, so they had to be sent home.

After Song Changyou and the relatives of others came, they saw Lin Qiangdong taking care of the wounded, and after staying for a while, he took away the subsidy of less than 100 yuan and never came again.

Of course, Lin Qiangsheng also understands them, they are not familiar with the place where they live, and it is inconvenient for ordinary people to eat and live. You can't do anything at a glance, it's better to throw the child to the army to take care of, that's what ordinary people think. But this practice made the disabled soldiers feel very uncomfortable, and everyone felt that they were invalids, what should they do in the future, these sad things. It torments the hearts of disabled soldiers all the time.

After drinking a meal, some of the soldiers couldn't control their feelings, and the young Guo Yubao first shed tears, and then Li Yongguo also cried. Jiang Jinping covered the gauze on his eyes with his hands, wanting to cry but couldn't get out of his tears, so painful that he howled.

"Alas!" Song Changyou let out a long sigh, picked up the jar and took a sip of beer, raised his head and said helplessly to Lin Qiangdong: "Company commander, you see that my body is not good!" Let's go. Don't take care of us here! ”

Song Changyou bowed his head and said, "It's time to go home, I want to go home and have a look." ”

Lin Qiangdong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and persuaded: "Changyou, let's treat it here!" I don't believe that such a big hospital can't cure your body! When will we be ready, when will we go home! When we were soldiers together, how could I leave you alone! ”

Song Changyou shook his head and said resolutely: "It's useless, let's live one day at a time." I won't cause trouble to the troops, and I'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow!" ”

Li Yongguo wiped away his tears. He raised his head and said, "Company commander, I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and my leg should be healed and I should go home!" He patted his broken legs, grinned bitterly, wanted to laugh but couldn't, and soon tears welled up in his eyes.

Lin Qiangdong glared at him and said, "Listen to me!" I'll ask my superiors again. Let's see if the troops can solve the resettlement problem for everyone! ”

Guo Yubao was only 18 years old, one arm and half of his leg were gone, and he cried and said, "Company commander, what else to solve!" The troops gave us money just to drive us home. But why should I go home like this! Woo"

Lin Qiangsheng was very uncomfortable watching the soldiers crying, he stood up and slowly walked out of the ward, standing by the window and looking at the sky outside the window.

After a while, Lin Qiangdong also came out, walked up to Lin Qiangsheng and said to him: "Brother, thank you very much!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng looked at the eldest brother strangely and asked, "What are you thanking me for?" ”

Lin Qiangdong shook his head, sighed and said, "Thank you for the wine and meat you bought today!" Your eldest brother and I have taken care of my comrades-in-arms for so long, and I haven't bought them anything delicious to eat! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded, glanced at the ward, and asked the eldest brother, "They?" ”

Lin Qiangdong shook his head and said, "Let them cry first, just sleep when they are tired of crying." ”

The two were silent for a while, and Lin Qiangdong asked his younger brother strangely: "Johnson, where did you get so much money?" How much does meat and wine cost today? ”

Seeing the eldest brother looking at himself strangely, Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said: "Big brother, you haven't been home for a long time, our family's life has changed dramatically now, and it is very different from when you left!" ”

After Lin Qiangdong joined the army, he devoted himself to the army, coupled with the attention of the leadership, the guy was also handsome, and he was quickly promoted to squad leader after excellent military projects, and then platoon deputy, and at the end of 78, he was promoted to company commander like a rocket.

Lin Qiangdong asked with a smile: "What changes have happened in our family that made you so extravagant?" If you don't say a thing or two, I won't spare you! ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "Big brother, don't look at you on the battlefield, I'm afraid you really train with me, you can't beat me!" ”

Lin Qiangdong hummed to his younger brother in disbelief: "You are capable, see if I can beat you!" ”

Lin Qiangdong was originally a strong character and had experienced the test of the battlefield, and when he saw his younger brother bragging to him, he had to compare with his younger brother on the spot. Soldiers who have been on the battlefield are most annoyed by others making jokes about the battlefield!

Lin Qiangsheng was helplessly led by his eldest brother to the wall of the hospital, where there was a row of groves against the wall.

"Be careful!" As soon as the two brothers stood still, Lin Qiangdong, who had a hot temper, took the lead in grabbing Lin Qiangsheng's chest, and came up with a "grasping" style of grappling.

"Huh? Big brother, you play really! Lin Qiangsheng didn't expect his eldest brother's temper to be so short-tempered, and he choked on himself and wanted to show himself how powerful he was.

Lin Qiangsheng saw that the eldest brother's hand was really grabbing him, he quickly moved to the left, and used the fisting leg method to shake the left side of the eldest brother.

Lin Qiangdong was stunned, he didn't expect his younger brother to really have two hits, and his few tricks were the methods taught by the army to control the enemy before he joined the war. Immediately afterwards, there were pads, hammer necks, lock necks or something, but Lin Qiangdong didn't want to use it on his younger brother.

I wanted to grab him and beat him in the ass, which was also the way he knew to be close. Unexpectedly, Lin Qiangsheng quickly dodged his own grasp and was in the blind spot of his attack, so that Lin Qiangdong didn't know how to proceed all of a sudden.

Lin Qiangsheng did not take advantage of the situation to attack the eldest brother, he smiled: "Brother." That's it! The few times you go to the battlefield, you have to kill you to make it, and it's useless for me to just make a gesture like this! ”

Lin Qiangdong snorted embarrassedly and said: "In the future, let me see if you spend money to see if I beat you or not, if our parents know, see if they can cure you!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng sighed, and after being surprised, he smiled and said, "Big brother, you really haven't been home for a long time!" Our parents can't rule me anymore, because they are very busy and don't have time to care about me! ”

Lin Qiangdong asked in surprise: "What are your parents busy at home?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled. said: "My mother has resumed work, and now she works in the Municipal Health Bureau, the deputy section director, and she is also in charge of a mess!" Our father became the director of the city automobile factory, and now he is the deputy general manager of Bincheng Volkswagen Automobile Company, mainly focusing on production and managing more than 2,000 workers in the whole factory! Are they busy, you say? ”

So Lin Qiangsheng briefly introduced the changes in the family to the eldest brother in recent years, and told the eldest brother that the Jiang'an Automobile Accessories Factory is no longer what it used to be. It became a car manufacturing plant with an annual output of 300,000 units.

Lin Qiangdong was surprised one after another, and finally he was overwhelmed.

Lin Qiangsheng said with a smile: "My father was not only promoted to factory director. And his level has changed from the deputy unit level at the beginning, and quickly crossed the section level, and now he is already at the deputy department level! Father's level is like making a rocket, faster than you from a small soldier to a company commander! You rocket cadres in this special period are really enviable! ”

Lin Qiangdong was completely shocked, don't look at him in the army, but really understand what level treatment is. Soldiers unconditionally obey the commands of their superiors, and they know more about their job rank than ordinary people. From the deputy unit level to the deputy department level, three levels in a row, and it is local, what kind of promotion speed is this!

Lin Qiangdong asked his younger brother in surprise, "Is this really the case?" Brother, you're not fooling me, are you? ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "What's wrong with this. Now the automobile factory is a provincial enterprise. I heard that the central government wants to turn the automobile factory into an enterprise directly under the central government, and the father's level may have to rise, and it is very easy to get to the right place! And now the general manager of the automobile factory is Li Gang, he himself is a deputy ministerial-level cadre, so our father's level can't be too low, at least he has to be at the deputy department level to work with him! So, our dad is waiting for the promotion to the top official! After Lin Qiangsheng finished speaking, a feeling of the second generation of officials slowly emerged.

Lin Qiangdong has been shocked by the information brought by his younger brother, and he is speechless! What is the level of the deputy department, one level older than the county and three levels younger than the provincial governor! In the army, the rank of officer at the deputy department level is generally equivalent to that of a colonel or at least a general, and the rank of military rank is generally from a full division to a deputy military rank. My father's cadre rank is much higher than that of a company commander like him, and unless there is a war factor, he will not be able to reach such a height in the army for the rest of his life!

Lin Qiangdong was very surprised, originally thinking that it would be good if his parents had jobs. In these years, ordinary people have no way out, and he really didn't expect that his parents were completely different from the impression in his heart before he left home as a soldier.

Lin Qiangsheng smiled, he didn't expect his father to rise so quickly because of his own series of actions, probably when the Jetta car was inspected by the governor for the first time, and after the inspection, his father officially became a deputy stock-level cadre. With the provincial loans in place, the automobile factory became a real provincial enterprise, and my father was quickly promoted to the level of deputy director!

Then there was the establishment of the joint venture automobile factory, and my father had been a deputy director-level cadre for less than two years.

The speed of promotion in such a position has simply made the cadres of all sizes in the provincial city envious and jealous, and of course, there are also strange words and complaints.

But Lin Qiangsheng knew that this situation was inevitable, and his father's promotion speed was really faster, and the time was also fatal! It is just a good time to catch up with the reform and opening up of the country, and this phenomenon of sudden rise is being staged in different parts of the country! Otherwise, where is the time to do that.

Lin Qiangsheng asked the foreign manager to communicate with his father more, creating an illusion that his father was chatting with foreigners, which made some people in the province who dared to spy on the automobile factory have to carefully hide their tails. (To be continued......)
