Chapter 10 1976 Memorabilia-2
Seeing that it was about to reach mid-July 1976, Chen Zhaojun began to get anxious. He knew about the Tangshan earthquake on July 28, but he couldn't do anything about it. It's rare for him to go all over the world and say that there will be an earthquake in Tangshan on the 28th? Will anyone believe him? Besides, under such historical conditions, if he said such a thing, he would not be arrested on the spot? But it's hard to say, I'm afraid no one will arrest him, but it's certain that he will be sent to the hospital. He didn't want to stay in the hospital. The question is, even if it turns out that he was right, how should he explain the source of the information? It certainly can't be explained. So, it's best to keep this secret in your heart.
Chen Zhaojun had already thought about how to minimize casualties in response to this irresistible earthquake. If these things depend on him, it will definitely not work, but isn't there still Chen Weixiong? Chen Zhaojun made up his mind that this time he would not only make his father famous, but the key was to save as many people as possible.
Over the next few days, Chen Zhaojun began to persuade Chen Weixiong to go down to the company near Tangshan. He knew that at that time, the troops lived in bungalows, and even if they fell, it didn't matter, and they couldn't hurt their father. The key is that only in that place can you join the disaster relief operation as soon as possible. Of course, Chen Zhaojun didn't dare to tell his father.
"Dad, you always stay in the agency, and you don't go to the company below, so you can better understand the situation of the troops? If you don't know the situation of the troops, if the army commander asks, it is not a solution to rely on the report handed down below. Besides, if you go down there and take a walk more, in case you are transferred to the bottom as a division commander that day, isn't it closer to the below? β
Chen Weixiong is very strange, his precious third son has not said such things for a while, and he didn't take it seriously at first, but after thinking about it, it seems that his son has a point. But...... I don't know why, Chen Weixiong always felt that there was something in the army.
"Dad, don't hesitate, you can go, if you always stay in the agency, nothing will show you at that time, what if you do a good job? Don't you see that Li Xiaobo's father led soldiers in the company for a period of time last year and brought out a xxx hero company, and won't he become a division commander this year? Besides, is it just you in the direct engineering office, you have done everything, what do you need the staff below to do? If you don't give them a chance to exercise, how can they grow? Chen Zhaojun knows that his father is very concerned about the growth of his subordinates, as long as he says this, he will definitely be tempted.
"I can't see it, you are not big, and your heart is not small, but even if you have a point, Dad will listen to you this time, and I will report to the commander and go to the grassroots company for a few days." Chen Weixiong was completely persuaded by his son. He felt that his son was right.
"Dad, if you want to go, it's best to go to the 305 (apocryphal) group, I heard that the situation there has been a bit of a problem recently." Chen Zhaojun knew that the 305th Regiment was the closest regiment to Tangshan, and that during the Tangshan earthquake that year, because all communications were cut off, he finally sent people to run to the nearest military communications station, and only then did he use a short-wave radio to contact the higher-level organs. This is the only way to participate in the rescue and disaster relief. This back and forth, delayed for several hours in vain.
"Nonsense." Chen Weixiong smiled and slapped his son on the back of the head. However, in my heart, Chen Zhaojun's mysterious situation has passed again. Anyway, it's my own child, it's just a little too smart. This is what Chen Weixiong thought at the time. He didn't know that if other parents knew about Chen Weixiong's concern, he was afraid that more than half of them would vomit blood. As for the remaining ones who don't vomit blood, it is estimated that they have already crashed.

When Chen Weixiong returned from the military headquarters in the evening, the family had already had dinner. Chen Weixiong also sent Zhang Guimei out and called Chen Zhaojun.
"Son, do you know what the commander said today when Dad proposed to the commander to go to the company below to have a look?" Chen Weixiong is very dignified, his third son is not in a big grade, and he has only reached the grade of primary school this year, but how can he figure out the meaning of the chief so clearly, this is amazing.
"Uncle Commander must have agreed with you to go, and promised that he would consider moving you when the time comes." Chen Zhaojun's analysis is very reasonable: Recently, no cadre is willing to go to the grassroots level, after all, it is too chaotic now, and no one wants to leave the recently familiar environment.
"That's right, that's what Uncle Commander said. You tell Daddy, why do you want Daddy to go down there at this time? "If Chen Weixiong still thought Chen Zhaojun was a child in the morning, then now he has come to see him as an adult.
"Actually, it's nothing, now everyone doesn't want to go to the grassroots level, if you want to go alone, Uncle Commander will definitely be happy." Does Chen Zhaojun dare to say that he is preparing to let his father go to disaster relief? Don't dare to give him a dar.
"Okay, Dad won't tell you anymore, you go wash up and get ready to rest." Chen Weixiong didn't know what to say. He's really a little worried about his kids being too smart right now. There will be no trouble then.
"Dad, I have a book here about the Xingtai earthquake, and I found that they made a lot of mistakes, otherwise they could have saved more people." Chen Zhaojun took out the book from behind him and handed it to Chen Weixiong. This book was found by Chen Zhaojun with a lot of effort.
"yes, then you can talk about it." Chen Weixiong hugged Chen Zhaojun to his lap, lowered his head, and studied the relief situation of the Xingtai earthquake with Chen Zhaojun. Chen Weixiong has always insisted on talking to his children about some things fairly, and as long as the children have questions, he will find a way to answer them.
"You see here, it's been so long since the earthquake happened, it's not organized effectively, and people are digging everywhere, which is a waste of resources. Also, you see these PLA uncles, they are all empty-handed, or they just take a shovel, which is so difficult that they can shovel concrete with a shovel? And hereγγγγγγγ "Chen Zhaojun is holding a villain book, there is no way, he doesn't want to find a more professional book, but no, there is no way.
When Zhang Guimei came in again, it was almost ten o'clock, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw that Chen Weixiong, father and son, were holding a villain book and discussing, which was quite tasteful, which made Zhang Guimei uncomfortable. Oh, you father and son spent me just to read a villain book, as for it?
"Give me the book, and the third child will go to sleep!" said, regardless of the feelings of the father and son, he snatched the villain book and threw Chen Zhaojun out.
At night, when Chen Weixiong and Zhang Guimei were lying on the bed talking, Chen Weixiong suddenly said with emotion: "Don't say it, the third child in our family was born to be a soldier, you didn't pay attention, he is very clear about commanding." β
Zhang Guimei stopped doing it when she heard it: "I said Lao Chen, is there something wrong with you?" It's okay if the two of us have been soldiers for the rest of our lives, but you can't keep thinking about letting our sons become soldiers, right? You said that the third child is such a smart child, can you rest assured that he will be sent to the army. Besides, he's still so young, you think about it? β
"Aren't I thinking about the children, too? You just say boss, I see that I am about to graduate from high school, and I don't know when I will wait for the assignment of work, so I might as well go to the army when the time comes, and I can join the work when I come back, what's wrong with that? Chen Weixiong is also in a hurry, now that there is a lot of chaos in society, joining the army is the best way for ordinary army children.
"This is also true, if I look at this, why don't I let the boss go while this year's recruitment is coming? Save people from worrying. "Zhang Guimei really, if Chen Zhaoping doesn't rush to the army before recruiting, then he will have to go to the mountains and go to the countryside. She knows the hardships of going to the mountains and going to the countryside.
"How can it work, when the army was recruited, the boss had not graduated from high school, so it was difficult to get a graduation certificate? Besides, isn't it just going to the countryside to exercise for a few months, I don't think there's anything bad about it! Chen Weixiong understands Zhang Guimei's thoughts, he doesn't want to go through this back door and let others say cool things when the time comes. Besides, in his opinion, he should let the boss go to the countryside to exercise and endure some hardships. Isn't it just a few months late to become a soldier, nothing. In fact, most of the cadres in the army at that time thought like Chen Weixiong. For them, it is right to let the child follow the general trajectory. Although it was very difficult for the children of the local community to become soldiers in those days, it was different for the children of these troops. It's not a backdoor, it's just a matter of course.
