"I miss the Chinese New Year when I was a child, when it was simple, it was the time when adults were the most relaxed, and that was when I was able to get the previous ranking in the final exam, and I could go wherever I played. One time we bought a toy gun, just the kind of toy gun with a little bit of rubber bullets, and that year I spent more than 100 yuan to buy a full-size FAL automatic rifle, made in Belgium, that guy is so powerful, you know, the friends use it is too simple to do more than ten or twenty yuan, a small one, as soon as my big guy comes out, tsk......"

"The Minister of Armed Forces is here, Ah Zhan will go down to greet him." Li Jianguo's voice.

Li Zhan and Ying Wanjun glanced at each other, and the former reluctantly ended his memories of his childhood, sighed slightly and said, "I don't want to grow up." ”

Ying Wanjun smiled and said, "I'll go back, wait to accompany my mother to visit relatives." ”

"Okay, stay safe."

Li Zhan sent Ying Wanjun downstairs, watched her watch the tall and mighty black V93 leave, and then saw the Audi A4 with the provincial military district license plate section driving over, and the head of the county armed forces department came to condole.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year in 2011, after Li Zhan's family returned from visiting relatives in the morning, they ushered in the New Year condolences from the county armed forces department. From the day after he returned home, it was already the eighth wave. Some came more than once, such as the military sub-district and a certain university in Nangang who wanted to ask Li Zhan to make a report on his deeds.

Li Zhan politely refused on the grounds that the troops had a discipline request, and had already telegraphed the brigade to explain that if any unit had the same request, it would be rejected. He was not yet twenty-eight years old, and it was not yet time for him to go around and report on his deeds.

In the past ten years, Li Zhan's feeling can be described in such a sentence: tired and happy.

With seven first-class merits and two individual honorary titles, this is the only poisonous scorpion in the entire Nangang area.

The head of the county armed forces department is the Grand Correction Regiment, and Minister Hong's other identity is a member of the standing committee of the county party committee.

Li Zhan welcomed him into his home, and Comrade Li Jianguo, who was sitting on a wicker chair like an old cadre, stood up and shook hands with Minister Hong with a hearty smile and reservedness. Lao Li, the political commissar of the military sub-district, shouted to him, and there was no leader in the county who could let him go downstairs to greet him personally.

Comrade Li's scene was said in one set of ways, as if the retired veteran cadres had received Spring Festival condolences from the leaders of government departments.

One of them handed a thick cowhide envelope to Minister Hong, who held Li Jianguo's hand and said with emotion, "Comrade Li, you have cultivated a good son for the party and the people!" This is a little condolence money, the county armed forces department is a poor yamen, hehe, don't dislike it. ”

"No, no, it's all heart, thank you for the organization's care." Li Jianguo skillfully took it, and weighed it in his hand, estimating that there were 30,000.

This is a lot of money, the county armed forces department is not the Qingshui Yamen, and for so many years, others have given them money, how can there be a reason for them to send money out. The minister asked and gave so much condolence money, which is estimated to be the first in Xixian County for so many years.

When a soldier's ownership has political significance, money becomes less important, or more or less condolence money is more important.

What if Li Zhan wasn't from Xixian?

The city attaches so much importance to it, can the county be indifferent?

Minister Hong said to Li Zhan, "Comrade Li Zhan, I have good news for you, after research and selection, the city has decided to appraise you as one of the top ten outstanding young people in the city, which is a very high honor!" ”

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Minister Hong, this can't work, if the local government wants to give the honorary title to active duty soldiers, it must be coordinated with the political department of the army, which I personally can't accept." ”

"I used to be a political worker in the army, and if you know these regulations, you can rest assured, the city has such an idea, and will actively communicate with the troops." Minister Hong said with a smile.

Li Zhan is not easy to object, and it is useless to oppose it, these things are not something he can influence. However, he knew his own situation, and the troops would basically not agree. It's just an honor for a prefecture-level city, isn't this a slap in the face of the troops?

Minister Hong learned a lot from Li Zhan, and the secretary sitting next to him quickly recorded the content of the conversation, and Li Zhan was a little more careful in his speech, and did not make subjective remarks. This kind of conversation is boring, but Minister Hong doesn't seem to care, maybe he is going to go through a formality.

After more than an hour of sending Minister Hong away, Li Zhan repeatedly explained to Li Jianguo, "Dad, no matter who comes to offer condolences in the future, if you talk about my specific situation, don't say more, you can be as low-key as you can." ”

"I know, I don't know what your specific situation is, in short, you can work in the army at ease, and your family will not be held back." Li Jianguo waved his hand and said.

The mobile phone rang, and Li Zhan said, "The army has come to pick me up, and I won't go home for dinner tonight." ”

"Okay, okay, let's go, go and have a good meal with the old Zhanyou, if you have any money, give you some money to spend." Li Jianguo directly opened the cowhide envelope, and the brand-new three hundred-yuan bills, sure enough, were 30,000 yuan, counted a few and handed them to Li Zhan.

Li Zhan blocked it and said, "What do I want money for, where I didn't spend money, I left." ”

After sorting out the air force's blue woodland camouflage uniform and walking out, Li Zhan answered the phone and said, "Regiment commander, one minute." ”

"Okay."

A Cheetah 2030A with an Air Force license plate was waiting at the entrance of the community, and Yu Chenglin sat in the back seat and rolled down the window to smoke. How can I not go back to the old army to see when I go back to Xixian. A few days after Li Zhan arrived home, he knew about it at the Xixian Station of the Second Division. Yu Chenglin, who was already the commander of the Fourth Regiment, asked the 101st Brigade for Li Zhan's mobile phone number, and then he got in touch. However, I was busy some time ago, so I arranged the time on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

"Captain!" Li Zhan saluted as soon as he approached, and only after Cheng Lin returned the salute did he pull the car door and get into the car, and sat in the back row with Yu Chenglin.

The Cheetah 2030A started and galloped towards the station.

Yu Chenglin handed over the cigarette, "Here's one." ”

Li Zhan took a puff on the fire that Cheng Lin was playing, and spit out comfortably, "We have a lot of tobacco control over there, so we can smoke a few cigarettes in the next few days when we go home." ”

"If you can, don't smoke, you're still young." Yu Chenglin said with a smile, "Let me ask you, if I don't contact you, won't you go back to the old army to have a look?" ”

Li Zhan said, "Coming back, I've not been busy, I wanted to take a day to see my old comrades-in-arms at Xixian Station before returning to the team." ”

"Seven first-class merits, personal honorary titles awarded by the air division, celebrities in the county, it must be very busy." Yu Chenglin said with a smile.

Li Zhan said, "If the old man wants to glorify his ancestors, I have to cooperate." But I'm mainly busy with the house, so I didn't expect it to be so troublesome. ”

"Didn't take out the mortgage?" Yu Chenglin asked.

Li Zhan said, "It's not this, I bought another villa, it's called Nanyuan Wenyuan in the city, there are too many things at the end of the year, and the bank loan is not very smooth, but it's finally dealt with." ”

"You bought a villa?" Yu Chenglin was shocked, staring at Li Zhan and seeing the ghost.

Li Zhanhan said with a smile, "Last year, I flew for more than 700 hours, and the tie rod fee alone was more than 600,000 yuan, plus some previous savings and wages, there was a small one million, and I bought a top black Pajero V93, and the rest of the money bought a two-story villa with a total of 370 square meters, with front and rear gardens and two above-ground parking spaces." ”

"You kid deliberately provoked me, didn't you?" Yu Chenglin glared, and was immediately stunned, "You flew for more than seven hundred hours last year?" ”

"Aang."
