Chapter 63: I Want Money
But he didn't think about his family's attitude.
So after a few minutes of phone calls, whether to stay in the team or to leave the army has become a huge problem on him.
The squadron leader's words are still in his ears, and the appearance of squad leader Zou Yitian before his death keeps reappearing in front of him.
Be a deserter, retire and go home, or stay and continue to fight and fulfill the mission wishes of your comrades?
Zhang Wei's heart was tormented like never before, on the one hand, his family and relatives, on the other hand, his comrades-in-arms and mission, he tore his heart and lungs, and there were words of suffering.
Lying on the bed, let the tears flow freely from the corners of his eyes.
It was destined to be a sleepless night, but also a night of choice.
In the morning, Zhang Wei, who had dark circles under his eyes, attracted the attention of Chen Yao, the squad leader.
When the squad leader asked, Zhang Wei prevaricated with a sentence that it was okay.
But Chen Yao was keenly aware that something was wrong.
Squadron Leader Wu Sheng had asked him about the situation before, and the squadron wanted Zhang Wei to stay, which he knew, and he also knew about yesterday's conversation.
Today's appearance of Zhang Wei must have changed, and as a squad leader, it is necessary for him to figure it out.
At the end of the morning training, Chen Yao found an opportunity and called Zhang Wei to the corner of the training ground.
"Xiao Zhang, your performance in this training camp is very good, and you have won glory for our second class again."
Chen Yao had a rare kind smile on his face, but Zhang Wei did not speak.
"Well, what's next?" Seeing that Zhang Wei didn't speak, Chen Yao went straight to the point.
Zhang Wei was silent, his eyes looking into the distance, as if thinking about how to answer.
"You can say anything you want, and no one will blame you." Today, Chen Yao's tone was very gentle.
Zhang Wei was still silent, and Chen Yao was a little anxious.
"If you have something to say, don't worry about anything."
"Of course there is a problem, and I will help you solve it."
This year's experience as a squad leader has made Chen Yao mature a lot, and he is very confident in what he says, so he almost pats his chest and guarantees.
"I'm short of money."
"I want money."
These two sentences suddenly came out of Zhang Wei's mouth, and Chen Yao was stunned on the spot.
"What?"
"Money?"
"What do you want money for? Where is there a place to spend money? ”
Money is something that is rarely mentioned in the troops, especially in mobile units like theirs.
Training is very difficult, there are few opportunities to go out to spend, except for daily necessities, it can't cost dozens of dollars a month, and the monthly subsidy is enough.
Faced with Chen Yao's question, Zhang Wei opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Seeing that Zhang Wei seemed to have unspeakable hardships and didn't want him to know, Chen Yao didn't want to dig deeper, and it was more appropriate to leave this kind of matter to the instructor Tang Wenyi.
But Chen Yao didn't want to end the topic like this, since he knew that it was a matter of money, there was still something to talk about.
Since he became a non-commissioned officer, the monthly allowance has been much more than before, Chen Yao, who has always been picky, now has some savings, Zhang Wei needs money, and it is not impossible to help him once.
"How much money do you need?"
"Two thousand." Zhang Wei spat out a number.
Chen Yao thought for a while, and then replied: "Two thousand is no problem, I'll lend it to you." ”
"It's two thousand a month."
Zhang Wei's words surprised Chen Yao again.
"What do you want so much money for?"
Seeing that Zhang Wei closed his mouth again and didn't speak, Chen Yao was a little annoyed.
But soon he calmed down and began to analyze the reason why Zhang Wei asked for money.
After a while, Chen Yao asked tentatively: "Xiao Zhang, is there something urgent at home to need money?" I'm really anxious, I'll tell you about it and help you figure it out. ”
"It's not urgent."
"It's not urgent, why is that, you say!" Chen Yao is a person who has a hard time controlling his emotions, and he is about to lose patience.
Zhang Wei sighed, then looked at Chen Yao and said, "I have younger brothers and sisters, you know, my younger brother has gone to my hometown city to go to high school, and the expenses in the city are too different from those in the township." ”
"My younger sister, I heard that her grades are not bad, and she also wants to go to high school in the city next year."
"And then? Say! ”
"My mom is not in good health, and my dad can't go to other places to work to earn money, so he can only do odd jobs in the surrounding area. I spent a lot of money to go to high school in the county, and now I can't afford to pay for my younger siblings to go to high school in the city. ”
"My dad wanted me to go back and got me a job as a driver, two and a half a month."
"Driver? Do you know how to drive, just be a driver. ”
Chen Yao spat out a bad sentence, and then frowned.
The problem is really more complicated than imagined, the naked reality is in front of us, and only talking about mission and responsibility cannot solve the problem.
"There is no future as a driver."
"Even if two people go to school in the urban area, they can save money every month, and the living expenses will be less than 2,000 yuan."
"When you were in school, how much did you spend each month?"
Chen Yao is used to picking the door, in his consciousness, don't spend it when you don't have money to spend, and try to spend as little as possible if you have money, no matter how much money you have, saving is always enough.
"Two hundred."
Zhang Wei did not hide it, in his opinion, poverty is not shameful, if you don't steal or rob, if you don't engage in crooked ways, there is hope for life.
"Two hundred a month?" Chen Yao couldn't believe it.
He is already enough to pick the door, save and save when he goes to school, and the money he spends every month will not be less than three hundred, but he didn't expect Zhang Wei to pick the door more than him, which really didn't make him expect.
Seeing Zhang Wei nodding, Chen Yao knew that it was not his turn to wear the hat of the second class to pick the door.
"Not to mention two hundred, you can let your younger brothers and sisters spend less money, five hundred yuan per person per month, there should be no problem."
"I was in the county at the time, they were in the city, and the expenses were different. I can't take out 1,000 yuan a month, and I can't afford to spend this allowance every month. ”
Zhang Wei sighed again, from the bottom of his heart, he liked the big collective of the armed police and wanted to stay, but the realistic pressure from his family forced him to choose to leave.
After thinking about it all night, the crux of the problem should still be the issue of money.
Mom and Dad wanted his younger siblings to go to college, but they couldn't make any money, so now they can only count on him to go back to the army to make money.
Zhang Wei can't blame his parents for anything, after all, they raised themselves and went to high school, which is much better than most of their peers in the town.
Chen Yao, who frowned, suddenly smiled, "A thousand yuan is still very easy, the state will help you out." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Wei looked stunned, and Chen Yao immediately laughed and said: "Don't go driving, as long as you stay in the army, the state can give you one thousand and a half every month." ”
"One thousand five?" Zhang Wei was surprised.
"The salary of conscripts is different from that of non-commissioned officers, and there is a world of difference."
"I don't hide it from you, I can get fifteen or six hundred more on my card every month now, I didn't ask how I sent it, but it's only a lot more in the future, and it should be raised."
Seeing the dark clouds on Zhang Wei's face slowly dissipate, Chen Yao knew that Zhang Wei's problem was about to be solved.
