Chapter Forty-Nine: Pig Keepers and Telephone Bills
The summer sun was scorching the earth, and it had been three days since the conferment ceremony was over.
At the end of the day, the base held a grand celebration banquet for the officers and men of the 401 boat. The delicacies and Chinese cigarettes specially bought by Lu Huaicheng diluted the sadness of the imminent separation of the officers and soldiers.
The next day, Chen Ming returned to Yangcheng and spent his 18th birthday with his mother. Looking at the rank of lieutenant on the military uniform hanging from the hanger, Chen Ming silently calculated how much time it would take to fulfill his father's last wish, how old he was when he retired, and whether he could catch up with the year when digital music became popular.
Yes, until now. Chen Ming still feels that he has no idea about the navy and the army for a lifetime. Join the army to serve as a volunteer, do what you should do in a down-to-earth manner, and solve your father's long-cherished wish by the way. All the things he did in the army, he was done.
On the day of returning to the team, Chen Ming carried some snacks prepared by his mother. Tan Qiuwen said that life is getting better now, and she bought more when she knew that Chen Ming loved snacks and asked him to bring them.
Chen Ming looked at the wrinkles on his mother's forehead and took it with a smile. He didn't tell him that he hadn't eaten a snack since he entered the shipyard.
"Eh, Brother Zheng. You're just in time, you can help me share some of these snacks. ”
Chen Ming saw Zheng Yuanhai standing downstairs and said happily. It's just that Zheng Yuanhai's face was gloomy at this time.
"Don't eat it."
"What's wrong, you're not satisfied with your work assignment? Brother Zheng? ”
Chen Ming's face was full of doubts, the last time Chen Ming fed back the problem of the inertial guidance room to Lu Huaicheng. Lu Huaicheng told him that Zheng Yuanhai's major in university is automation control, and with Zheng Yuanhai's personality, he won't be bored because of different ships.
"Far sea! Eh, Chen Ming, you're here too. ”
At this time, Xie Tingqun also walked out of the building.
"Where do you get a job?"
Zheng Yuanhai crossed his hands on his hips and asked angrily.
"I just arrived, and I don't know. Eh, Brother Xie, you can also take some of these snacks. ”
"Thanks, no need. 180, trainee deputy water chief. What about you? ”
Xie Tingqun waved his hand and rejected Chen Ming's kindness. Now he is also in a bad mood, leaving Chen Ming alone in confusion.
What's wrong with these two?
"I worked on the land and became an official. I guess I'll have to manage a few hundred soldiers. ”
"Really? Are you looking for a chief of staff? ”
"I'm looking for it, I'm not looking for it, can he take care of me so specially?"
Chen Ming listened to the conversation between the two and gradually came back to his senses. A few hundred? A lieutenant at the rank of platoon or deputy company is definitely impossible.
"How many hundred people are in the logistics department?"
"Hundreds of pigs!"
The two of them walked farther and farther away at this time, and they were depressed, and they didn't care about Chen Ming. Listening to the voice not far away, Chen Ming was slightly stunned.
Later generations of the army, due to the development of the country's economy. Basically, I am no longer engaged in production work, and I didn't think of this stubble for the first time. And in this era, the army did raise pigs and grow vegetables. It also saved a lot of military expenses for the army in the period of economic underdevelopment to upgrade weapons and equipment.
Although the division of labor is different, Chen Ming does not mean to look down on the soldiers in charge of pig raising. However, a good college student who graduated from the Department of Automation and Control arranged to raise pigs. Listen to the meaning between the words of the two, or the meaning of Lu Huaicheng?
Chen Ming hurriedly ran upstairs.
"Yo, here it is. It's a job assignment, right? Sit down first, I'll tell you slowly. ”
Lu Huaicheng saw Chen Ming coming in with something and said with a smile.
"Chief of Staff, I'm here to ask about Zheng Yuanhai. Just ran into him downstairs and heard that you let him raise pigs on the pig farm? ”
Chen Ming stood in front of Lu Huaicheng's desk and hurriedly spoke.
"You sit down first."
Chen Ming was helpless, so he had to sit down on the chair in front of Lu Huaicheng's desk. His eyes were staring at Lu Huaicheng, trying to figure out what was going on.
"That's a good point. Let Zheng Yuanhai go to the pig farm is what I mean. What's the matter, he's looking for you to complain? ”
"No, Chief of Staff. It's just that I hear it, and then I don't understand. The last time I reported the situation of the inertial navigation room to you, didn't you still say that Zheng Yuanhai learned automatic control, and this matter can be solved soon. Now you've got him to raise pigs, and that's it..."
"Who said that he would not solve the problem if he went to raise pigs. I thought that after the first two things, people should become more stable, why are you still so frizzy. ”
Without waiting for Chen Ming's words to finish, Lu Huaicheng interrupted.
"You don't know yet, before the work assignment, Zheng Yuanhai came to me. tone, that's a hubris. He was ashamed to tell me that when he came to the navy, he wanted to be the captain of the ship, and he wanted to get on the ship. It's only been a long time since Captain Jiang's incident, and I think you should be more impressed than I am. Do you think that with Zheng Yuanhai's current mentality, can I get him on the ship? ”
Chen Ming also came back to his senses when he heard Lu Huaicheng's words. Is this to sharpen and sharpen Brother Zheng? It seems that I am concerned about it, and I am messed up. Also, with his own understanding of Lu Huaicheng, he is not a person who fights against dissidents.
"Alright, let's talk about your assignment."
"No need. I'll just go downstairs and look at the announcement myself. I'm sorry, Uncle Rue. I just misunderstood you. ”
Chen Ming was quite embarrassed, and he didn't care that this was in the office, so he called Uncle Lu.
"There's no name on you down there. Originally, I was waiting for you. Your situation is a bit peculiar, most of the ships don't want you right now. ”
Lu Huaicheng didn't mean to blame Chen Ming, and directly skipped the previous topic. But hearing his words, Chen Ming suddenly became anxious.
"Why doesn't anyone want me? I've never been a laggard in my work! Captain Wang doesn't want me anymore? ”
Although he has a little bit of the meaning of being in Cao Ying's heart in Han, he still has a basic sense of responsibility. Moreover, during this period of time in the 401 boat, I feel that I have done a particularly good job, at least I will not be unqualified. Why doesn't even Lao Wang want me anymore?
"Look, you see, I'm in a hurry again. You told me a few days ago that the navy is superstitious, why, I can't stand it when it's my turn? ”
"I can't stand that. I didn't do anything wrong. ”
Chen Ming got up directly from the chair excitedly.
"Yes, yes, yes. You didn't do anything wrong, you sit down first and listen to me slowly. ”
Lu Huaicheng waved his hand and continued.
"Xiao Wang, it's Wang Changming. He is in his forties this year, and he is at a critical time when he is being promoted to deputy division. Because of your disappearance, he carried an intra-party warning on him. Letting him go to the Type 093 submarine is also the result of the Standing Committee of the base talking to him, as long as he is safe and stable, and cooperates with the superiors and the research and development unit to test and finalize the Type 093 submarine, his promotion of the deputy division will basically be completed. ”
"So, he can't make any mess now. So I took the initiative to find the base and said that you are a young cadre who is eager to learn and has a particularly strong enterprising spirit. Following him will tie you down. So suggest we transfer you out and change to a ship. It allows you to do what you want to do, and gives you a platform to better show yourself. ”
Lu Huaicheng took a sip of water. Chen Ming didn't expect that Captain Wang would think so much about himself. He didn't blame Captain Wang for being selfish, because he was afraid that he would delay his promotion, but he was very grateful to him.
"But you also know your own situation. At present, 100 percent of the people in our base and even in the entire navy are unwilling to be accepted by other ships. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Huaicheng also smiled. Although Chen Ming is not responsible for the accident, this guy's luck doesn't know if it's too good or too moldy.
Xiao Wang also sent Li Siming out. He's the best chief engineer and main engine squad leader in our base's submarine unit, and that's why. I talked to the rest of the ships, and finally let you get on the 372nd boat, deputy navigator. Although this is only a conventionally powered submarine, the captain Liu Tao is also a very capable young cadre. After you go, you can also learn from him. ”
After listening to Lu Huaicheng's words, the only thought in Chen Ming's mind at this time was.
