Chapter 193: Straight to the core of cruel reality
"Captain, did you say that Stationmaster Zheng would be fooled?"
On the way to the outfield, Han Hongjun couldn't help but ask Li Zhan.
Li Zhan said lightly, "What are you doing, that old fox." But he can't help it, if he dares not to send someone to set up the stage, I will use the 228 project team to press him. ”
"Isn't it a bit ...... to do that?"
"You don't know how expensive firewood and rice are." Li Zhan sighed and said, "I used to be a squadron leader in the Second Division for a period of time, but there are instructors, and I don't care about anything else except training. Now the captain and instructor are shoulder-to-shoulder, and they find that it is not easy to be in charge. ”
He looked at the runway in the distance, his eyes moved to the tall hangar of the repair shop at the farthest end of the north side, and said in a deep voice, "A few days ago, I calculated the last month's tie-up fee for you stinky and shameless ones and went to the regiment commander to check, when I saw the regiment commander's expression, do you know how I feel, I am really afraid that he will burst me with a gun." ”
"And yesterday's reception ceremony, I tried to test the teacher openly and secretly, and I scared him away. At that time, looking at his back in the distance, I remembered that when I was in middle school, my father sent me food money to tell me to study hard and listen to the teacher's words, and then turned away. ”
Li Zhan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "So now as long as it involves money, I have to be careful about what I do, if I can make the other party pay ten yuan, I must not let the other party give nine yuan and nine, there is one left today and one tomorrow will save one yuan and thirty yuan a month, if I can save one hundred yuan a day...... Hey? ”
The commuter car braked suddenly, and the driver shrugged his shoulders on the steering wheel, listened carefully, and cried.
Li Zhan hurriedly asked, "Xiao Pei, Xiao Pei, what's wrong with you?" What is this for? ”
"Wow, aa
It's okay not to ask, but when I asked, I cried out completely, so heartbreaking, I cried with my head held high, tears and snot came together, "I miss my mother!" ”
Li Zhan and Han Hongjun were both stunned, and their noses were sour in an instant, and their vision was blurred.
Pei Lei is a private, he learned to drive when he was a private, and when he became a private, he was assigned to the regimental organ to open a service car, and the organization belonged to the flying regiment, not a small convoy at the station. Military uniform for civilian clothes, he is only a twenty-year-old who should be on a college campus with a little girlfriend and I am carefree little young. But with the dream of serving the country, he put on a military uniform and walked into the barracks, threw all the wind and snow aside, and bravely shouldered the burden of defending the country and the border, walking for a year and eight months, and walking 3,000 kilometers.
"My mother grows and sells vegetables, goes down to the vegetable field at four o'clock every morning to pick vegetables, and walks ten kilometers to the market to sell them, sometimes she can earn more than 50 yuan a day, and sometimes she can only earn more than 10 yuan a day. My mother grew and sold vegetables in exchange for six years of middle school, and the last time my brother told me that she had a sore neck and went to the hospital for a check-up, I knew that it was because of the perennial burden. I can't go back when she's hospitalized, I want to go home to see her, but I can't go back, I can't go back! ”
Li Zhan hugged Pei Lei, who was emotionally collapsed, patted him gently on the back, choked and comforted, "Xiao Lei, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry!" A manly man bleeds without tears! No matter how difficult it is, there is organization! Don't cry, Xiao Lei! It's time for people to laugh at you! ”
The latter sentence worked, Pei Lei wiped away the tears indiscriminately, wiped his eyes vigorously, wiped his eyes with his sleeves, and kept wiping. Li Zhan patted his back gently, "It's good to cry, but you can't cry for too long." I remember that you were from Nanyang, Henan, and I knew there. Tell me, how is your mother? ”
"No, not much, not too serious, I, I just miss her." Pei Lei sobbed again.
Li Zhan decided not to ask, Pei Lei's mood is very unstable now, and it is estimated that he will not be able to ease up for a while when he talks about his mother. They are all people who have come over, who hasn't hid in the quilt and cried?
"Okay, slow down, Red Army, there is water in the rear trunk, bring the bottle." Li Zhan greeted.
"Oh, yes!" Han Hongjun in the back row wiped away his tears, reached over directly and took a bottle of water and handed it over.
Li Zhan unscrewed it and handed it to Pei Lei, "Xiao Lei, drink some water and wash your face." ”
Trying his best to suppress the surging longing emotions, Pei Lei didn't dare to look at Li Zhan, took the water, turned his head to the side, stretched out of the car and scrubbed it indiscriminately, scrubbed away the tears and snot, and screwed the bottle cap back to Li Zhan.
"Chief, I'm fine."
Pei Lei held the steering wheel and held the gear lever.
Li Zhan patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, move on." ”
"Yes!"
The commuter car continued to move forward smoothly and drove towards the big stage of their lives.
As Li Zhan expected, before they arrived at the tarmac, Zheng Kaiyun brought several agency cadres and soldiers from the guard company to dismantle the original stage shelves, and then moved them to the designated position as required.
It was Li Zhan's idea to put the location of the main activities on the tarmac, since it was a combat unit, it was necessary to have the style of a combat unit, and it was boring to do it in the auditorium, so go directly to the apron, and directly build a flat stage with dozens of warhawks as the background, and the background curtain wall was saved, and the strong fighting wind also saved money.
"At that time, this is not only the best viewing platform for watching air shows, but also the stage for party activities, and there is a lot of atmosphere. When the time comes, the fighters carrying out the air show mission will drive along the taxiway after landing, and a neat column will have a lot of momentum! ”
Li Zhan sat in the car and turned around and said to Pei Lei.
Pei Lei smiled innocently, obviously not completely out of his emotions.
"It must be opened Su Liangqi, big and heavy pneumatic appearance is good-looking, children will definitely be fascinated, and then tell them to study hard and grow up to participate in the recruitment, and they will reach the captain of the captain Your old pilot from the doll suddenly ...... The purpose of the upbringing! Han Hongjun added excitedly.
Li Zhan nodded with satisfaction, "The purpose is above board, and children who just talk about national defense education may not be able to understand it, but if you study hard with them and grow up, you can fly a fighter jet, and I dare to guarantee that every boy will leave a heavy mark in his heart - flying an airplane when he grows up." ”
"Captain is awesome." Han Hongjun gave a thumbs up.
Pei Lei suddenly asked, "Chief, do you think I still have a chance to fly a plane?" ”
"You?" Li Zhan was stunned.
"I, I'm just asking." Pei Lei was embarrassed and whispered.
Li Zhan touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Participating in the examination should be a way, of course, the premise is that the physical fitness must be passed." ”
"Is it okay to take the exam? I have no problem with my physical fitness, I recruited Fei back then" Pei Lei was so excited that he couldn't help but step on the accelerator a little deeper.
Li Zhan said with certainty, "It's definitely possible, why can't you take the flight academy exam." I'll ask you when you get back. However, this year's examination has passed, and if you want to take the examination, you have to strive to become a non-commissioned officer at the end of the year. My personal advice is that no matter whether you can become a pilot or not, you should strive to take the entrance examination, be able to enter the military academy, be able to enter the non-commissioned officer school, and be able to take the non-commissioned officer school and enter the non-commissioned officer school. No matter how bad it is, it is also a good choice to stay as a non-commissioned officer. ”
He paused and said seriously, "Xiao Pei, I can tell you responsibly that the salary of non-commissioned officers will continue to rise, and the increase will be even greater than that of officers." It rose once last year, it rose again this year, and it will rise again at the end of the year or early next year, and the corporal, that is, the salary of a non-commissioned officer is nearly 4,000 yuan per month. ”
"So high!" Pei Lei was surprised.
Han Hongjun said, "Of course, don't look down on non-commissioned officers, the higher authorities are paying more and more attention to the building of the contingent of non-commissioned officers, and this is written into the army's development strategy." ”
"The mother of the army is not just talking about playing, it will inevitably be taken seriously, and 80 percent of the posts in the future will be filled by non-commissioned officers, and the status will only get higher and higher." Li Zhan said.
Pei Lei, who had just made up his mind to retire from the army and go home at the end of the year, instantly regretted it, four thousand yuan, almost all the income of his parents every month, he didn't spend any money in the army, it was enough to buy cigarettes and snacks for one hundred yuan a month, and he sent them all back, and the family's economic environment would be greatly improved in a few years! And there is family leave after being transferred to a non-commissioned officer, a month at a time, that's good.
I'm going to turn a non-commissioned officer!
"Chief, chief, I have decided to fight for the transfer of non-commissioned officer!" Pei Lei plucked up the courage to say.
Li Zhan said with a smile, "Work hard, be diligent and diligent, and behave a lot in front of your captain and instructor, and you will basically have no problem staying as a non-commissioned officer." ”
"Understood!" Pei Lei is full of confidence.
It is really easy to turn a soldier into a non-commissioned officer in a regimental organ, and it is definitely much easier than a soldier in a grassroots company. However, the current situation is just the opposite, those with excellent quality have no intention of staying in the army, and most of those who have the intention to stay are mediocre, which has fallen into a very embarrassing situation.
If you don't mention your salary, you can't live, how many people are really willing to contribute to the country in this peaceful and prosperous world?
Whether Pei Lei's kind of soldier is good or not, he must be a good soldier, but he can't stay in the team, because the burden on his family is very large, and when he returns to the place, he can earn three or four thousand, four or five thousand, reduce the burden on his family, and save some money to buy a wife and marry a house to live. This is a profound and realistic social problem, and at worst, it is relevant at present and is based on laws and regulations, and if you do not keep pace with the times and improve it, and give military personnel at least the same treatment and protection as the localities, this problem will not be solved.
As a result, there were three consecutive increases in the salaries and benefits of military personnel at the beginning of 2009, the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010, which shows that the situation is very serious and the people are in a hurry.
What impressed Li Zhan the most was that after the salaries of noncommissioned officers were raised separately at the end of last year, when he was doing physical fitness in the playground in the afternoon, a noncommissioned officer of the aircraft maintenance brigade carefully took out a thick stack of 100-yuan bills from the pocket of his physical suit, sat cross-legged, hooked his body, counted them over and over again as if he were a thief, and then carefully packed them, and then put them on carefully, and then propped his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and showed a satisfied smile.
Some comrades in the regiment always say that the rod fee is too vulgar and low-level all day long, so can't the sentiment be noble? There are also some ordinary people who are subconsciously surprised when they hear the talk of being a soldier talk about money: Hey, do you also like money, shouldn't you dedicate yourself wholeheartedly, don't you deserve to be a soldier to defend the motherland and stand guard for us, hey, you still think the salary is small, what kind of soldier are you!
Hit you down the street, let's drink the northwest wind!
