Wu Shenglong touched his chin and looked at the chopping board, looking interested. At first glance, the cutting board looks ordinary, and it doesn't look like new, and throwing it in the corner of the kitchen of any farmer is guaranteed not to attract anyone's attention.

Two senior soldiers carried a basket of vegetables in and put them down by the stove, one of them came over and was about to take the cutting board, Wu Shenglong was startled and hurriedly stopped, saying, "Don't use this." ”

"Squad leader, this one looks thick, and the meat is easy to cut." The senior soldier said with a smile.

Wu Shenglong kicked the butt of the senior soldier, "Go and go, use the original." ”

The senior soldier went with a smile.

Wu Shenglong thought left and right, and simply carefully picked up the cutting board and put it in the ingredient warehouse. At this time, Li Shuai came over, walked in and said, "Old squad leader, are you looking for me?" ”

"Come and see this cutting board, where did you get this?" Wu Shenglong asked, pointing to the chopping board.

Li Shuai explained, "There is a female recruit who brought a lot of kitchen utensils from home, and I saw that the prices of knives and spatulas were very high, so I asked her to send them back. Cutting boards are fine, right? ”

"Of course there is a problem." Wu Shenglong touched his chin and said, "This thing is yellow rosewood, don't you know?" ”

Li Shuai was confused, "Isn't it just a piece of wood?" ”

"There is a difference between wood and wood, a coffee table made of yellow rosewood can easily cost tens of thousands of yuan, and a better one is hundreds of thousands. If you look at this chopping board, look at the annual rings on it, the tree is at least 300 years old. Wu Shenglong said.

Li Shuai frowned and asked, "It's expensive?" ”

"It's hard to say." Wu Shenglong pondered and said, "Either it's very expensive or it's worthless, to put it bluntly, it's just a piece of wood, and the price is all fried, but this cutting board should not be cheap." ”

Li Shuai was stunned, "I really don't understand this, just a chopping board, a hundred yuan is expensive." ”

Wu Shenglong said with a smile, "Many people don't understand, it's not strange. Let's put it this way, it's not that I don't dare to use this cutting board, but I have to ask, does that soldier know the value of this cutting board? ”

"You should know, how could she not know her stuff. I'll take it back and let her send it back. Li Shuai lifted the chopping board and said.

Wu Shenglong said, "You send it back to her home directly, and just say hello to the recruit when you're done." Even if it's only worth a few thousand dollars, this thing doesn't fit for me. The main thing is to avoid being gossiped about later. ”

"Understand, if you don't say I'm really in the dark." Li Shuai was afraid for a while, he just didn't know much about local things, not that he was ignorant.

The most taboo thing in the army is that superiors take advantage of subordinates. Chen Xueer must accept Chen Xiao's cosmetics at the second-hand price in the market, which is precisely the reason.

Li Shuai carried the chopping board and went directly to the military service center, where there was a postal express point, only the postal one, and it could only be the postal one.

happened to see Su Pingguo doing something, so he said this.

The climate of the southerners is humid, the air has a lot of moisture, the weather is hot, people like wooden furniture, as a local Su Pingguo has some research on this, all the furniture in his house is wood.

Su Pingguo looked at the cutting board carefully and said, "Good thing, this wood can't grow like this in three or four hundred years, the local tyrant, this is, using such a good huanghuali wood as a cutting board, which soldier?" ”

"The one who wants to be a cook, the real person doesn't show his face." Li Shuai said helplessly.

Su Pingguo was impressed, and said, "There are two small dimples with a big grin, right?" She seems to be from Guangdong Province as well. I can't see that he is a child of a rich family. ”

"Joan's." Li Shuai said.

Su Pingguo said, "Help her send it back, this thing is too valuable, and it's easy for people to gossip if you stay." ”

"Is this wood so valuable, you Cantonese people are really ......" Li Shuai still couldn't understand, took the list and began to fill it out.

Su Pingguo said with a smile, "Southerners like wood. When I bought my new home, my dad demanded that all the furniture be made of wood, real wood, and good mahogany. The older generation thinks that these furniture are to be passed down from generation to generation. Just buying furniture cost me all my savings, more than 200,000 yuan. ”

"Crazy about you." Li Shuai was taken aback and shocked.

"Really."

Su Pingguo said, "Many local families are like this, household appliances can be a little worse, just can be used, but the furniture must not be sloppy, especially the marriage bed and sofa." You don't know, my dad looked for wood and went to the countryside for a long time to find an old carpenter to make it by hand. ”

He made a gesture to count the money, "The salary alone will be several thousand, and a marriage bed will cost forty or fifty thousand yuan." ”

Li Shuai sounded like he was listening to a story, "What you said was beyond my imagination." It's just a foot and a half of sleeping, why spend so much money. ”

"You don't understand." Su Pingguo was a little proud, "I'm lucky, my wife is also local, and the house is a house that was paid for demolition, so I spent the money for furniture and appliances to buy the wedding house." Otherwise, if you want to buy a house here and get married, it is estimated that you will not earn enough money for a down payment when you are a soldier until you are eighty years old. ”

Li Shuai filled out the mailing form, checked the recipient's information, and then handed it to a senior soldier along with the cutting board, saying, "I heard that the house price in Pengcheng costs 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, which is ten times that of my hometown." ”

"Thirty or forty thousand?" Su Pingguo's eyes widened, "Big brother, you said ten years ago, right?" The real estate closest to our camp opened a few days ago, do you know how many starts? Seventy thousand! It costs nearly six million to buy a two-bedroom apartment of seventy or eighty square meters! Down payment of 1.8 million! ”

Li Shuai's eyes were about to pop out, as if he was listening to a story from outside the earth.

Su Pingguo said emotionally, "According to the maximum length of service of non-commissioned officers and the current salary standard, if you don't eat or drink until you retire as a first-class sergeant major, well, the income is barely enough for the down payment." ”

"This is still here, it belongs to the suburbs outside the suburbs, do you know how much the university town has a holiday, 120,000 up, it is said that a high-end residential area under construction on the edge of the bay is expected to be 300,000 square meters."

Li Shuai's eyes moved, and he finally came back to his senses, "It's terrible, people can't afford to live in this kind of house." ”

"So many people say that Pengcheng is not suitable for life, and the cost is too high. Of course, there are a lot of high-income people here, don't you say it, the housing prices are still sold out, there are too many rich people now, and our soldiers are poor, there is really no comparison. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that my family had a few houses and the village had hundreds of thousands of dividends every year, I wouldn't have chosen to stay in the team at that time. Su Pingguo said in a deep voice.

Li Shuai didn't know what he was thinking, and said, "Yes, the reality is cruel." ”

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Chen Xue'er is also a local, do you know?" ”

"I know too well." Su Pingguo said with a smile, "We are in the same village, and our peers are in the same school but not in the same class. She was admitted to the military academy in the college entrance examination that year, and I couldn't even reach the junior college line, and then I became a soldier. ”

Li Shuai said, "So that's the case, I only learned today that she has strong financial resources, and the cosmetics she uses are tens of thousands of yuan." ”

"Your soldier told you? You don't know anything about cosmetics. Su Pingguo said with a smile, "Her family's financial resources are at least ten times that of my family, which is amazing, and she is an only child." ”

Speaking of this, Su Pingguo raised his head back and looked at Li Shuai.

Li Shuai was furious when he saw it, and said, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

"I suddenly remembered that Chen Xueer is unmarried and has no boyfriend, some time ago I went home and met her Lao Dou, and she Lao Dou also mentioned this matter. Handsome, this is an opportunity, with your appearance, as long as you work a little harder, it is estimated that your wife will have it. Su Pingguo said with a smile, "Then you don't have to worry about the house, she has too many houses." ”

"What are you doing here, I'm still young." Li Shuai said dissatisfied.

Su Pingguo was stunned for a moment, and scolded in a low voice, "You are so pretending to be tender, you and I are both twenty-six, and Chen Xue'er is also twenty-six, how good." Besides, Chen Xue'er is not bad looking and is still a cadre, so she can't afford to be a little non-commissioned officer with you? Dead pretty boy, don't be too picky, Chen Xueer is really good. ”

"Then why didn't you pursue her then?" Li Shuai's exit is a killer move, obviously to see blood.

"What am I so ......" Su Pingguo was angry, then deflated, and said dejectedly, "People have high horizons, and many unmarried cadres in the agency are staring at it." Really, handsome, I think as long as you work hard, the chances of winning are very big. ”

Li Shuai didn't have any waves in his heart, "I don't plan to think about this matter yet, let's talk about it later." ”

"Didn't Chen Xue'er hang up the position of instructor on your side, you are close to the water, what a rare opportunity. Take advantage of this great opportunity to get in touch first, feel good and then think about going forward, even if you can't go together, you can strengthen your relationship. Your parents must be urging you, right, I'm a person who has come over and knows the situation very well, really, Chen Xue'er is very good in all aspects......"

The two walked back side by side, Su Ping Guoxiang Lin sister-in-law chattered, and seemed to catch interested customers to sell the sales of the building, but Li Shuai's mind slowly turned to other places.

When I was in the old army, I didn't have the heart or time to think about these miscellaneous things, and every day when I opened my eyes, I was either engaged in training or going out on a mission, and when I closed my eyes, I just wanted to seize the time to sleep and nourish my spirit, and continue to engage in training or tasks tomorrow. I don't have time, energy, or opportunity to think about personal problems, but after arriving at the 301st comprehensive training base located in the bustling metropolis, the contact area has suddenly widened, and there is more time, energy, and opportunities, shouldn't I fall in love?

A non-commissioned officer of his age, even if he personally does not want to talk, the organization will arrange a military and local youth friendship to ask him to find a girlfriend - some people say that the army will pay everything, including his wife. The life of the officers and men of the army is rather special, and the unit as a collective is also quite special, and it is destined to increase exchanges between the officers and men of the army and local young women through some organized means, and sometimes this work is even regarded as a political task.

The revolution also needs to have a successor, and besides, if the major life events of the officers and soldiers are not resolved, how can they serve with peace of mind?

Love? What is love?

Li Shuai couldn't think of a clue, so he simply threw it aside, turned his mind and began to think about the matter of live ammunition shooting again......
