Two months later, Tan Jingting was reinstated, and now he has learned to be obedient, and when he encounters things, he always asks Meng Ruoyu first, or promotes democracy, and lets others express their opinions first, and then he summarizes everyone's opinions and submits them to Shangfeng. He knows how to stand in line, how to use relationships, and how to use the power in his hands for his own selfishness.

The once high-spirited, loyal and courageous Tan Jingting has gradually died.

Meng Ruoyu took an envelope and handed it to Tan Jingting: "Brother, this is Shi Baochang's filial piety to you, accept it." ”

Tan Jingting took the envelope: "This Shi Baochang didn't care about his previous suspicions, and actually gave me a copy." ”

"If you hadn't secretly informed him of the news of the anti-smuggling team that time, he wouldn't have been able to get away with it. You guys, this is called not fighting and not knowing each other. ”

Tan Jingting smiled: "Fortunately, Brother Meng's teachings at the beginning, otherwise I would still be like a stunned young man, I don't know how big the basket will be." ”

"It's my brother who has understanding, I'm just a little bit of a nod. Hey, Brother Tan, I heard that you are quite familiar with Shi Guozheng of the logistics department of the Gui department. ”

"We used to be in a regiment, and then he was transferred to the logistics department."

"Brother, I have a way to make a fortune now, I don't know if you are interested?"

"What way, Brother Meng, you said, as long as you can make money, I am willing to do it with you."

"I have a friend who makes clothing and he wants to do a business in military uniforms. You are well-connected in the army, help me find out. If it does, this friend of mine said he could give us this number. ”

Meng Ruoyu opened his palm and shook it in front of Tan Jingting's eyes.

"Okay, I'll help you ask."

Soon, Tan Jingting replied to Meng Ruoyu.

"Brother Meng, I talked to Shi Guozheng, and he said yes, but he wants this number. And it's in dollars. Tan Jingting raised two fingers.

"Okay, I'll call my friend."

A month later, 20,000 sets of winter military uniforms were sent to Shi Guozheng of the Gui Logistics Department. Shi Guozheng took the heavy small suitcase, opened it and saw that it was full of stacks of dollars, and nodded with satisfaction.

Meng Ruoyu and Tan Jingting also got stacks of dollars. The two looked at each other and smiled.

And because the materials used in that batch of military cotton clothes were too thin, and the sewn inside were some rotten cotton, they did not protect against the cold at all, and many soldiers were frozen to death. The inspection department sent people to investigate, and Shi Guozheng secretly stuffed a lot of money into the people of the inspection department, and the matter was over.

One day, Tan Jingting was reviewing documents in the office, and the orderly shouted the report.

"Report, Deputy Director Tan, there's a woman looking for you."

"Women?" Tan Jingting felt a little inexplicable, he rarely dealt with women.

"Yes, a woman in her twenties and thirties. She said it was your old friend. “

"The deceased?" Tan Jingting couldn't think of any young female deceased in him for a while: "You bring her in." “

Soon, the orderly brought a graceful woman in a leather suit to Tan Jingting, Tan Jingting looked up, it seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

"Camp Commander Tan, have you forgotten me?" The woman in the leather jacket, leather pants, and leather boots spoke first.

"Are you...... Liao Shasha! Tan Jingting finally remembered that in front of him was his first love, Liao Shasha, an overseas Chinese from Myanmar.

"It seems that Camp Commander Tan still has a good memory, and he still remembers me for more than ten years." Liao Shasha took the initiative to stretch out her hand: "It's a pleasure to see you." “

Tan Jingting also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Liao Shasha.

"Yes, more than ten years have passed, and I think you were still a female student with two pigtails at the beginning, and you came to our 19th Route Army to perform in the labor army."

"Camp Commander Tan still remembers what we looked like when we performed?" Liao Shasha's eyes were full of surprise, but she didn't expect that after more than ten years, Tan Jingting still remembered her original appearance.

"Remember, remember, I remember you sang a song "On the Songhua River" to us, it was very infectious, after singing, those soldiers from the Northeast were in tears, everyone raised their arms and shouted to destroy the devil and go back to their hometown."

"When I think about it now, it still makes people's blood boil." Liao Shasha is also immersed in memories.

Tan Jingting raised his hand and looked at his watch: "Sasha, I'll get off work soon, you finally returned to China once, I invite you to dinner, the taste here in Chongqing is spicy hot, I guess you may not be used to eating, I know that you like to eat Shanghai food the most, there is a restaurant opened by Shanghainese here, I will take you there later." “

"Do you remember my love of Shanghainese?" Liao Shasha was overjoyed, and her nose was a little sour with emotion.

"I still remember that you love to eat Wang Baohe's drunken crab, Shen Dacheng's crab roe xiaolong, and Lao Zhengxing's grass head circle." Tan Jingting immersed himself in the memories of that year, and listed Liao Shasha's favorite Shanghai signature dishes like a few family treasures.

"Brother Jingting, I didn't expect you to remember it so clearly." Liao Shasha's eyes moistened.

After getting off work, Tan Jingting personally drove Liao Shasha to a hotel called "Little Shanghai" located next to the Jialing River in Chongqing.

"Sasha, although the food here is not as famous as those shops in Shanghai, but the taste is not bad, it is an authentic Shanghai thick oil red sauce cooking method. You can order a few and try them. Tan Jingting handed the menu to Liao Shasha.

"It's up to you, it's better for you to order." Liao Shasha handed the menu back to Tan Jingting.

"Okay, I'll order a few of your favorites." Tan Jingting called the waiter over and ordered a few dishes.

Tan Jingting poured Liao Shasha a glass of red wine, and poured himself a glass of white wine.

"Bring me a white bar too." Liao Shasha pushed the red wine aside.

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, but you are good at drinking, I remember inviting you to dinner in the past, and you always drank orange juice." Tan Jingting poured a glass of liquor and handed it to Liao Shasha.

"I'm no longer the little girl you knew." Liao Shasha tilted her neck and drank half a glass of white wine.

"Sasha, slow down, the food hasn't been served yet, it's easy for you to get drunk when you drink on an empty stomach like this." Tan Jingting grabbed Sasha's hand holding the wine glass.

"It's okay, Brother Jingting, I drink very well." Sasha broke free from Tan Jingting's hand and drained the remaining half glass of wine.

Tan Jingting felt that Liao Shasha seemed to have a full stomach and wanted to say to himself, maybe he needed to use the power of wine to have this courage, so he poured half a glass of wine for Liao Shasha.

The dishes ordered by Tan Jingting came up, a grass circle, a fried prawn, a stinky tofu, a white chopped chicken, and a pickled casserole soup.

"Here, Sasha, taste it, or is it not what you used to be familiar with?"

Liao Shasha picked up a prawn, peeled it, put it in her mouth, and nodded frequently: "It's similar to what I used to eat in Shanghai, it's still so tender and delicious." ”

"Eat more if it's delicious." Tan Jingting peeled another prawn for Liao Shasha and put it in Liao Shasha's bowl: "Sasha, I seem to remember that before the 19th Route Army went to Fujian, you went back to Myanmar with your family?" I went to your place to look for you, and it turned out that the building was empty. “

"Yes, my parents were the leaders of the local overseas Chinese group, and they went back to Myanmar to raise anti-Japanese materials, and in order to resist Japan, my parents also took the lead in donating a plane."

"Your parents are great. I know that overseas Chinese have made an indispensable contribution to our anti-Japanese cause. If you hadn't donated money and materials to support us in the rear, we wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long, and fighting a war is burning money, and without money, no matter how many people, no matter how good the plan, no matter how firm the confidence is, it is nonsense. The pure heart of your overseas Chinese is really admirable. “

"Not only did we donate money and materials, but my brother also participated in the Nanyang Machinery Workers Return Service Group to transport anti-Japanese materials on the Yunnan-Burma Highway, but later the Changgan Bridge on the Lancang River was blown up by the Japanese army, and the Yunnan-Burma Highway was cut off, and my brother was also killed on the Yunnan-Burma Highway." After Liao Shasha finished speaking, she raised her neck again and drank half a glass of white wine.

Tan Jingting poured Liao Shasha full of wine: "Your brother is also an anti-Japanese hero. Come, Sasha, I toast you, for your brother, for your whole family. “

Sasha and Tan Jingting touched their glasses: "Brother Jingting, do it." “

Sasha drank another glass of liquor, Tan Jingting looked at the bottle, there was not much left, so he asked for another bottle of liquor.

"What about yourself, how have you been all these years?" Tan Jingting asked casually.

Liao Shasha took matters into her own hands and poured herself a glass of wine, and then poured a glass for Tan Jingting as well.

"Soon after my brother died, I got married, and I married Captain Rice of the U.S. Army Air Corps, who was an ace pilot who specialized in the Hump route. That route is called the death route, flying from Assam in India over the Himalayas, and then flying to Chongqing, the whole journey is nearly 1,000 kilometers, the terrain is precipitous, all at an altitude of more than four or five thousand meters, the highest to more than 7,000 meters, and the climate is harsh, often encountering heavy rain, lightning, hail and other disastrous weather, plus the interception of Japanese military aircraft, I heard Rice say that more than 1,000 planes have been lost, and more than 3,000 pilots have died. Every time Rice had a mission, I would be nervous and insomnia, and I had been living on spirits and sleeping pills for years. “

Liao Shasha said, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes: "Rice is the best pilot, but two weeks ago, his plane was shot down by the Japanese army, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and the captain of the army air team said that there is little hope of survival." “

Liao Shasha drained the glass of wine: "My mother suffered from schizophrenia because of my brother's death and was admitted to an insane asylum. My father became ill and passed away last year. Now that Burma is also occupied by the Japanese, I flew to Chongqing with Rice last month, and we were supposed to go to the United States together after he completed his mission, but now that I am ......, I don't know what to do. “

After Liao Shasha finished speaking, she hid her face and cried, Tan Jingting handed her a handkerchief, and he felt sad for what happened to Sasha.

"And how did you find me?" Tan Jingting was very curious about this.

"Rice is more familiar with the people in the Chongqing Military Department, and the last time he came back to tell me that there was a person named Tan Jingting who was very powerful, and not long after he went to the Anti-Smoking Supervision Office, he made the military department restless, saying that he wanted to eradicate the black sheep of those officialdom, punish those moths who committed fraud for personal gain, and bent the law for bribes, and wanted to clean up the source and reshape the style of Chongqing officialdom. The men in the military department were full of complaints, and they complained when they drank with Rice. Les admired this Tan Jingting very much, and often mentioned it in front of me. I thought, could it be such a coincidence, the big brother Jing Ting I know is the person that Rice admires? So, try your luck today. Unexpectedly, it was really you, Brother Jingting. “

Tan Jingting's face was red and white when Liao Shasha said, he is no longer the high-spirited and jealous idealist he was at the beginning, he has transformed into a sophisticated and sleek egoist. If Liao Shasha knew his present, would she still respect him?

"I'm alone now, I can't go back to Myanmar. So, I thought of you, so I came to look for you today, Brother Jingting, can you take me in? “

Liao Shasha's eyes were full of expectation.
