Chapter 121: Conferment of Titles
Forward, forward, forward! Our team faces the sun, the motherland bears the hope of the nation, and we are an invincible force. We are the younger brothers of the people, we are the armed forces of the people, we are fearless, never give in, fight bravely, until the reactionaries are wiped out, and the banner of ** is flying high. ~. Chen Weixiong stood solemnly and neatly in the queue of the General Staff in a new military uniform, listening to the leaders of the General Staff announcing the order.
。。。
"Chen Weixiong!" The leadership of the General Staff issued an order.
"Here!" Following the password, Chen Weixiong walked to the position between the rostrums step by step.
"In accordance with the order of the Central Military Commission, Comrade Chen Weixiong, director of the Special Operations Research Office of the General Staff, is hereby conferred the rank of major general. Now, I am entrusted by the Central Military Commission to wear a military rank for Comrade Chen Weixiong! The head of the General Staff Department sideways picked up the epaulettes of the major general from the tray in the hands of the accompanying staff officers, and solemnly put them on his shoulders for Chen Weixiong.
Chen Weixiong solemnly saluted a military salute, then turned back, saluted his comrades-in-arms in the audience, and then walked off the rostrum with standard steps accompanied by military music.
It is conceivable that on this whole day, especially at this moment of awarding the title, not only Chen Weixiong, but all the soldiers were excited. But all the people stood motionless under the rostrum, and for the soldiers, this was the most solemn and sacred moment. For every soldier, it is the motherland's recognition of their selfless dedication, the highest reward they receive, and the best proof that they can best show their own value in their life or that their own value is recognized.
For a whole day, there was a joyful smile on the face of every soldier of different ranks. Anyone could tell the smile on their faces. But everyone can also see that in order to maintain the image of the soldiers, all the soldiers have suppressed their joyful feelings in their hearts. When I got off work that day. When Chen Weixiong was buying wine at the Military Service Club, he not only saw Zhang Guimei, who had the rank of colonel, but also saw two brothers, Chen Zhaojun and Chen Zhaoping, who were coming to buy wine. Of course, not only Chen Weixiong's family bought wine here, but many officers of all sizes in and out of the General Staff Headquarters in the compound almost unanimously flocked to the military service club, because they all wanted to have a little wine today, and it was good wine. The military service club has the best Moutai and Wuliangye, which is exactly what these excited soldiers need most. It's strange that everyone didn't have a big group of people drinking today, and almost all of them bought the wine back and shared this feeling with their families.
This time. The Chen family has a bit of an advantage, a family of four, except for Zhang Guimei, Chen Weixiong has his big red flag, Chen Zhaojun and Chen Zhaoping drove a Hongdu Subaru (Chen Zhaojun's car is matched. Chen Zhaoping's car was sent by Chen Zhaojun), and another key is that Chen Zhaojun is not afraid of spending money. The Military Service Club in the dormitory area of the General Staff has made preparations for this day in advance, and the stock of Moutai and Wuliangye in normal times is only a few hundred bottles. But today they have prepared thousands of bottles. This is a special wine, which is different from the usual street purchases, and besides, the wine here is shipped directly from the winery, so you won't buy fake wine. However, today I met a few people from the Chen family to buy it, which also gave the director of the service club a little headache. Others just bought two or three bottles, but Chen Zhaojun and Chen Zhaoping drove the car directly to the warehouse of the service cooperative, and asked people to move it to the car in boxes and boxes, looking at the posture, they planned to fill the car. The director did the math. If Chen Zhaojun and Chen Zhaoping were asked to fill up the two SVs, plus Chen Weixiong's big red flag, more than half of the entire service cooperative's warehouse would be stocked. How does this make him cope with the people who come after him? Everyone knows that the third child of the Chen family is rich. If he continues like this, no amount of wine will be enough for him to toss. What the director couldn't figure out was that. Chen Weixiong is usually quite restrained. Several children of the Chen family are usually very careful when they see them, and today's posture, if Chen Weixiong didn't speak, it is estimated that no one would dare to do this.
"Director Chen, congratulations on becoming a general!" The director of the service agency knows that this matter has to be discussed with Chen Weixiong, otherwise you will only let Chen Weixiong's family wrap up all the wine if you don't hang out the restricted card in advance.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just an extra responsibility." Chen Weixiong naturally has nothing to say. He didn't know what to say either.
"Would I like to discuss something with you?" The director of the military service is not a military man, but he is also discharged from the army. It's still polite to talk to the general.
"Discuss?" Chen Weixiong was a little confused. We don't have much contact with each other, and we really don't know what to discuss: "What's the matter?" You say. ”
"You know, for this award, our service club has made a little preparation, but if we all buy wine like you, it is estimated that our wine will not be enough to buy for a while, so you see... L
That's it, okay, I'll let the two of me stop pretending, but just put it on, save trouble. "What do you mean by pretending to be confused? Just take a look at the current Chen Weixiong.
In fact, Chen Zhaoping and Chen Zhaojun didn't want to buy so much wine at first, but as soon as Chen Weixiong saw the two of them in the service club, he directly left a sentence: Quick, how much is as much as you want, buy me all the good wine of the service club, and tomorrow I will go to the special first division to confer titles on them.
Chen Weixiong's feelings for the special first division are different, and everyone knows this. In fact, when he goes to the grassroots level like him, he usually doesn't have to worry about alcohol, but Chen Weixiong is unwilling to increase the burden on the grassroots company, and besides, the third child has money anyway. Chen Weixiong has returned to his hometown in fine clothes, of course, he has to bring his own wine.
。。。
After Chen Weixiong's family left, the director of the family district service agency of the General Staff Department looked at the high-end wine warehouse where more than half of it had been moved, and he had the heart to cry. There are still many people who are on their way to get off work, and it is estimated that half of them will come to the service agency to buy alcohol, and now there is only so little left, how can it be enough to sell?
So, less than 10 minutes after Chen Weixiong's family left the service cooperative, the service agency put out a restricted card for the first time. It is clearly stipulated in several big characters that each officer is limited to two bottles of Moutai or Wuliangye with his military ID, and non-military officers will no longer sell them.
That night, the Chen family wrapped dumplings again. Chen Zhaoping, Li Aihong and their little guy Chen Lili, captain officer Li Bing and his newly married wife Wang Han, plus a Chen Zhaojun who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, the Chen family has not been so lively for a long time.
Looking at the lively family, Zhang Guimei's heart can be said to be full of mixed feelings. Li Aihong saw Zhang Guimei's absent-minded appearance from a distance, and knew that she was thinking about the second child. Chen Zhaoguang has been out for so long, and the nature of his work determines that he can't even call home on the phone. I don't know what to do outside, and it's no wonder that Zhang Guimei misses him.
"Mom, we have to make dumplings, you can help me take a look at Xiao Lili." Chen Lili just learned to walk, and if she wasn't careful, she didn't know where to climb, and she fell and felt distressed. is such a little guy at home, Zhang Guimei usually doesn't know how distressed she is.
As soon as she heard Li Aihong mention Xiao Lili, Zhang Guimei suddenly gathered her spirits. Usually, Li Aihong doesn't have as much time as Zhang Guimei takes care of Xiao Lili. Don't look at the family hired a little nanny, but for Chen Lili, Zhang Guimei is basically in charge.
Seeing his mother leave the dining room to take care of the little guy in the living room, Chen Zhaoping smiled at Li Aihong very pleased. He knew why Li Aihong let his mother take care of Xiao Lili. Everyone including Chen Weixiong knows what Li Aihong means, but everyone usually tries to avoid this issue. After all, it is a military family, and everyone knows what to say and what not to say.
"Bang dang." The sound of something falling to the floor came from the living room, followed by Xiao Lili's cry. Everyone in the restaurant knew that it was Xiao Lili who fell to the ground. Chen Zhaoping and Li Aihong didn't dare to move, according to Chen Weixiong's rules, it is normal for children to bump and bump, as long as there are no major problems, they are not allowed to care. This is good for the child's growth, she can quickly learn lessons from these things, and it is good for exercising the child's sex. Only Zhang Guimei in the family doesn't take what Chen Weixiong said seriously, usually at this time, Zhang Guimei must pick up the child and coax it, in her words, Xiao Lili is a girl and can't be raised like a boy.
It stands to reason that Zhang Guimei is in the living room now, and she should soon be able to hear her voice coaxing Xiao Lili, but Xiao Lili has been crying for a while, and Zhang Guimei's voice of coaxing Xiao Lili still hasn't come out.
In fact, it was only a few seconds, but Chen Zhaojun and Chen Zhaoping both felt that something was wrong. The two of them glanced at each other, and both found the confusion in each other's eyes. Something must have happened!
Chen Zhaoping and Chen Zhaojun didn't say a word, they almost jumped up and rushed to the living room.
。。。
In the living room, Zhang Guimei was hugging a young major officer tightly, and at this moment, the two could only be described as crying. Of course, this is a cry of joy.
When Chen Zhaoping and Chen Zhaoguang saw this scene in the living room, neither of them said anything. I don't know why, Chen Zhaoping suddenly felt that his baby daughter's crying was particularly harsh. Picked up the daughter who fell off the couch. Chen Zhaoping did not speak.
"Mom, if you cry again, the second brother's military uniform won't be able to be worn!" Chen Zhaojun actually wanted to talk about something light, but he really didn't know what to say.
Li Aihong and Li Bing also noticed the strangeness in the living room, and rushed out together, looking at the scene in front of them, no one could think of more clever words than Chen Zhaojun.
。。。 That night, the Chen family didn't drink much, but everyone was a little drunk
