15. Home visits
"Jiashu, hurry up and get up, the sun is scorching your buttocks." Gao Meiyun shouted into Sun Jiashu's room.
After being woken up by his mother, Sun Jiashu turned over, looked at the window with a pair of worried eyes and continued to sleep.
Gao Meiyun stood at the door and waited for a while, and when she heard that there was no movement in the room, she knew that her son was asleep again, so she eagerly continued to shout: "Jiashu, get up quickly, your Uncle Cheng said that the soldier will come to visit the house soon." ”
"What? The receiver is coming to the house soon? Sun Jiashu got up and said, "Didn't you come in the afternoon?" Mom, why didn't you say it sooner. "Sun Jiashu put on his clothes after dividing five by two, the first impression is very important, if the receiver sees that he is still sleeping lazy in the morning, the first impression is definitely not very good, and if he doesn't get it right, it will affect the development of the army in the future.
"I don't know, the temporary change was made by your Uncle Cheng in the morning, saying that the soldiers were already on the way, and that your cousin came with him." Gao Meiyun said.
"My cousin is here too?" Sun Jiashu was relieved at this time, with his cousin here, he was not nervous, in his impression, his cousin treated him best, although he is now the Minister of Armed Forces, but he does not have a bit of an official position, and he is particularly concerned about his affairs, his cousin is a soldier, and the soldier will definitely give him face, and the cousin will definitely explain to the soldier, so that when he arrives in the army, he can suffer less flesh and skin, and he will be given special care.
"Of course your cousin is coming, if it weren't for your cousin, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to leave this year." Gao Meiyun said to her son.
"I have a chance to thank my cousin, by the way, didn't you peel a bag of peanuts last night? Why don't you give it to your cousin? Sun Jiashu said.
"That's not good, peanuts are given to the officers who receive the troops, your cousin is his own person, and he won't say anything."
"Mom, do you think it's still my dad's time? Who's going to send this now? Sun Jiashu blamed his mother and said.
"What do you send if you don't send this?"
"Nowadays, people pay attention to affordability, and they all receive this as gifts." Sun Jiashu gestured with his hand.
"Oh, you said that soldiers also receive money?" Gao Meiyun said in surprise.
"Of course, there is a classmate in our school who was a soldier last year, and his father directly gave him 2,000 yuan to receive the soldier, and my classmate was assigned a good unit when he arrived in the army, and now he is mixing well." Sun Jiashu said.
"If that's the case, let's also send money, Jiashu, how much do you think it's good?"
"Mom, let's not compare to the city soldiers, let's just send a thousand." Sun Jiashu said.
"A thousand is less, not a less? In fact, our family is not short of these thousands of dollars now. ”
"It's a lot, and it's not too late to send it when you get to the army to see the situation." Sun Jiashu seems to be very sophisticated.
"Okay, then give a thousand, and give this bag of peanuts to your cousin." Gao Meiyun said.
"Aunt, aunt, what are you busy with?" At this time, someone shouted outside the door.
"Come out quickly, your brother and they're here." Gao Meiyun urged her son.
Sun Jiashu had already dressed, but his face had not been washed yet, he was about to go out, thinking that his hair had not been combed yet, so he took a comb and quickly combed his hair, and after sleeping all night, his hair was unkempt, and he couldn't comb it smoothly, so he had to apply a few mouthfuls of saliva on his hands and wipe it on his hair, and his hair was flattened.
"Aunt, where is the family tree?" Coming in was the Minister of Armed Forces High School.
"Still in the house, your cousin has been afraid of seeing people since he was a child." Gao Meiyun said.
"Why don't you see my uncle?"
"I went out in the morning, saying that it was a business matter, saying that I would not delay the home visit in the afternoon, but I didn't expect you to come early in the morning, so I will find someone to bring him a letter and ask your uncle to come back early."
"No need, let's sit for a while and leave, Jiashu, come out quickly and start the home visit." The high school shouted in the hall, and when he saw that Wang Yun was still standing, he smiled and said to Wang Yun: "Chief Wang, sit down and have a cup of tea, you see, my cousin is usually very shy like a big girl." ”
"When you get to the army, you can't be shy, the more you can perform, the more promising you are." Wang Yun said.
"That's, that's." High school chimed in.
Sun Jiashu walked out of the house and saw that his cousin and Uncle Cheng were there, and the one wearing the big cap must be the officer who received the troops.
"Hello squad leader." Sun Jiashu said politely, this was taught by the classmate who was a soldier, and asked the veteran to say that the squad leader is good, so that he will not be beaten.
"Jiashu, he is not a squad leader, he is several levels higher than the squad leader, this is the commander of the army, and he is a battalion-level cadre." The high school hurriedly corrected.
"It's all the same, it's all the same, in the army, the squad leader is the usual name, it's the most comfortable to listen to, everyone is welcome." Wang Yun said with a smile.
"Good chief." Sun Jiashu immediately changed his words.
"Okay, good, young man is very energetic, okay, you sit down, now we will start the home visit." Wang Yun said with a smile.
"Comrade Chief, don't worry, Jiashu has been poor peasants for generations, and they are absolutely politically reliable." Liu Cheng interjected on the side.
"Oh, now it's not the main ingredient problem, I mainly want to know what the family tree is good at." Wang Yun said.
Specialty, Sun Jiashu thought, to be a soldier's specialty is nothing more than good sports, can run, throw bombs far, so he said: "I am good at playing, I am the captain of our basketball team, I am good at sprinting, my 100-meter score is 13.5 seconds, I can throw 50 meters in the bidding gun." Sun Jiashu said several specialties in one breath.
"Anything else?" Wang Yun asked.
"Yes, I can do twenty push-ups in one go."
"Twenty, this is not a specialty, in our army, someone can do two thousand in a row."
"Two thousand?" Sun Jiashu was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, if he could make two thousand, he would not be a robot, but for the sake of the chief's face, he did not refute it in public.
"Think again, what else?"
"Others?" Sun Jiashu thought for a long time: "When I was a child, I climbed trees and dug birds' nests, I could climb very high, is climbing trees a specialty?" ”
Just as Sun Jiashu was hesitating whether to say or not, Wang Yun said to the high school: "Minister Gao, didn't you say that he was good at writing?" ”
"Jiashu, tell me about the work you published when you were in school and won the writing competition." The high school reminded Sun Jiashu to say.
"Oh, I've published 46 articles in newspapers and some middle school publications, and I've won first prize in the National Middle School Essay Contest." After Sun Jiashu finished speaking, he went to the house and took out a wooden box, opened the lid of the wooden box, and Sun Jiashu took out dozens of neatly folded newspapers, as well as a red award certificate.
Wang Yun carefully looked at the newspaper handed over by Sun Jiashu, and soon found the article signed by Sun Jiashu, and his eyes immediately narrowed.
"Yes, yes, these are enough, these are enough, I will take you as a soldier." Wang Yun said happily.
Sun Jiashu couldn't figure out what the involvement of being a soldier had to do with these published articles? But seeing the happy look of the chief in front of him, he felt that something must be related.
"Jiashu, don't hurry up and thank the chief." Liu Cheng said on the side.
"Thank you, Chief." Sun Jiashu said.
", what is delicious today, I have to drink several times more wine with the comrades in the army." Liu Cheng asked Gao Meiyun.
"You see, the equipment has been prepared for a long time, there are peanuts, cucumbers, lotus vegetables, beef, all of which are good appetizers, and I have prepared a few hot dishes, meat and vegetarian matching, and the wine is a two-pot head." Gao Meiyun said.
"Aunt, you don't need wine, I have wine in the car, it's Moutai, you just need to serve the food." High school said.
"Lao Gao, it's better to drink Erguotou, let's drink Erguotou today, and we're used to drinking it in the army." Wang Yun said busily.
While speaking, Gao Meiyun had already opened the table and chairs in the hall, and then the cold dishes were served, and a table was full, Wang Yun was forced to press the main position, Liu Cheng and the high school sat on both sides of him, Sun Jiashu sat obediently at the bottom, as soon as the wine was opened, Liu Chenghe and the high school began to persuade the wine, one by one, Sun Jiashu really admired Liu Cheng and his cousin's ability to persuade wine, and after a while, Wang Yun drank his face red.
After three rounds of drinking, Gao Meiyun pulled the high school into the courtyard.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" High school asked.
"Neutron, how much do you think you should give this officer?" Gao Meiyun asked.
"Aunt, you don't need to send money, you don't need to send money." High school busy said.
"That's not good, if you don't send money, your cousin will definitely be bullied when he arrives in the army." Gao Meiyun insisted.
"Aunt, why don't you give it to him directly, you can do it as much as you want." High school said.
"When you leave for a while, you take that bag of peanuts with you, which are all newly harvested this year."
"No, no, aunt, you treat me as an outsider."
"Look at what you said, it's not you, your cousin will definitely not be able to leave this year, you can be regarded as giving face to your aunt."
"Aunt, what kind of face do you have?"
"Don't say it, don't say it, you keep drinking, I'll fry another dish for you." Gao Meiyun was afraid that high school would know that her son's military membership had something to do with Liu Yougen, so she hurriedly found an excuse to go into the kitchen.
High school and Liu Cheng took turns guessing at Wang Yun, shouting for a while, Wang Yun was sweating all over, so he found an opportunity to go to the toilet and walked into the yard, Gao Meiyun stood in the kitchen, she had been looking for an opportunity to give the red envelope to the soldier, and when she saw Wang Yun coming out, she hurriedly greeted her.
"Grand Chief, have you eaten well?" Gao Meiyun asked.
"Eat and drink, thank you, auntie."
"Big Chief, you put this away." Gao Meiyun stuffed a red envelope into Wang Yun's hand.
"Auntie, what are you doing here?"
"You put it away, it's a custom in our countryside, and if you don't put it away, you treat us as outsiders."
Wang Yun couldn't help it, so he had to accept it, seeing Wang Yun accept the red envelope, Gao Meiyun went into the kitchen to stir-fry, Wang Yun entered the toilet, opened the red envelope and looked, a pile of 100 yuan bills, and immediately felt uneasy, this is a violation of discipline, if you return it to the aunt, the aunt will definitely have an idea, it seems that you have to think of a way, seeing Gao Meiyun entering the hall with a plate of vegetables, Wang Yun quickly entered the kitchen, pressed the red envelope under the lid of the pot, and then pretended to be casual and entered the hall.
"Chief Wang, why have you been out for so long? You see, we both got a bottle of wine. High school said.
"Minister Gao, you can't drink, there are two home visit tasks in the afternoon, you can't make a mistake, we should go." Wang Yun said to the high school.
"Chief Wang, you see, we have all been drinking, so this kind of home visit must have a bad impact, didn't you say that the family tree has a body that does not meet the regulations? Simply, let's go together in the afternoon to get him qualified. High school said.
"The two leaders, Jiashu is completely qualified in physical examination, how can there be one unqualified?" Liu Cheng couldn't help but ask on the side.
"Director Liu, you don't know what the two of us are talking about, my cousin really has a thing that doesn't meet the regulations of their troops, and the two of us will integrate him together in the afternoon." High school said.
"Oh, that's the case, is the family tree going too?"
"Of course he has to go, he can't make it if he doesn't go, Jiashu, hurry up and prepare, let's go together." High school said.
"Neutron, what are you doing with the family tree?" Gao Meiyun asked.
"Don't do anything, aunt, don't ask, we'll go out for a while, and promise to send my cousin back to you in the afternoon."
"Oh, that's the case, then you guys go, if it's walking, I'll reimburse you twice as much when you come back." Gao Meiyun said.
"Aunt, I said okay, if you spend money, you will be reimbursed."
"What your aunt says definitely counts."
"Aunt, then let's go, Jiashu, go, take the car." The high school beckoned Sun Jiashu out of the yard, the jeep was parked at the door, Wang Yun sat in the co-pilot's seat, the high school was the driver, Sun Jiashu sat in the back, and with the sound of a fire, the jeep started.
"Wait." Gao Meiyun seemed to remember something and turned around and returned to the yard, and after a while, she ran over with a bag of peanuts.
The high school smiled helplessly and put it in the car with the help of Liu Cheng.
"Zhongzi, accompany the chief well, and go back to say hello to your daughter-in-law."
"Got it, aunt." High school said.
The car started, Gao Meiyun has been leading the way in front, Liu Cheng also followed the car all the way, the people in the village saw that a car came out, and they came out to watch, only then did they know that Sun Jiashu was going to be a soldier, look at Gao Meiyun, he was already excited.
