Hao Jinshan politely stopped Wang Quan and said to him: "Old instructor, we only talk about the past today, not about work. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes, I haven't seen you for many years, you have to catch up with the old days, and talk about the work things when you get to the office." Xiao Tong also echoed her husband on the side.

"Xiao Xiao, no, I should call you brother and sister now. If you want to talk about the old days, Xiao Hao and I are not right, we should be called Brother Hao, but there are endless words. Wang Quan put down his wine glass and said to Xiao Tong, "Brother Hao and I slept together in the Datong shop when we first met in the construction company of the engineering regiment. Later, the conditions improved slightly, some simple houses were built, and I lived in the same dormitory with Brother Hao, one day, I was woken up by his snoring, very angry, and woke him up: I dreamed of taking leave to go home, my mother stewed a pot of fat pork for me, I was just about to eat and was woken up by you, you have to pay me a bowl of meat tomorrow. Brother Hao also slept soundly, and of course he was very unhappy after being woken up by me, and said to me angrily: I was also dreaming of visiting relatives and returning home, and someone else introduced me to an object, and I was about to meet him, you woke me up, and you have to compensate me for an object tomorrow. He talks to you about friends, and that's for later. ”

Xiao Tong listened to Wang Quan's words, bent over with a happy smile, looked at Hao Jinshan and said, "Is this true or false, why haven't I heard Lao Hao talk about it?" ”

"At that time, our life was very hard, and most of the cadres and soldiers of the company did not have families, and the soldiers called the company a 'concentration camp for bachelors'. Those who have been married want to have a daughter-in-law, and those who are not married want to have a partner, these things are true, but I really don't remember what you just said. Hao Jinshan said to Wang Quan with a smile. He suddenly remembered something and asked Wang Quan, "Our old company commander doesn't know what's going on now, have you contacted him?" ”

"He, I don't know much about the situation now, but I know that he didn't have a good time afterwards." Wang Quan sighed and said, "When he was a company commander, he found the daughter of the director of the Commune Revolutionary Committee, and you know about this. Because the two places have been separated for a long time after marriage, his wife is lonely, and she has an eggplant on her spine - she has an outside heart. In the third year of marriage, he planted melons and beans, and his wife gave birth to a son who was not like him at all, and he divorced in a fit of anger. Later, he was transferred from the position of regimental logistics chief and returned to his hometown, and we broke off contact. ”

"The old company commander is a good man!" Hao Jinshan sighed.

"Yes, the life path of a good person is often tortuous." After a few glasses of wine, Wang Quan's face was already flushed, and he said with emotion, "At that time, we were all very simple, thinking about how to complete the work tasks as soon as possible, and the relationship between the cadres and the soldiers was also very harmonious, and there were not so many messy things." Do you remember the head of our regiment, Commander Qi, who often dug tunnels with us and rushed wherever there was danger. The wife of the head of the regiment was also very good, sewing and mending the torn clothes for us in the family room at night, and taking several other cadres' family members during the day to send the boiled boiling water to the mouth of the pit with a large iron bucket, and serving it to us to drink bowl by bowl. When she saw a cadre or soldier who was injured during construction, she would cry with pain. She was so preoccupied with us that her son was crippled by a tractor on his way out of school. We all called her Aunt Yang at the time, but in fact, it was not a loss to call her mother! ”

When Wang Quan said this, his eyes were red.

"Come, say something glad!" Hao Jinshan drank the wine in his glass, patted Wang Quan's shoulder and said, "Do you remember Director Chen of our office?" Lao Balu, not tall, with a scar on his head, he has never studied, he doesn't know a few words, he never uses a script when he speaks, his voice is loud, and he is humorous. His words amused us sometimes to dislocate our jaws and slap our slaps to be red and swollen, just like some leaders now speak, reading the manuscripts written by the staff word for word, and one by one they have become hypnotic masters. Oh, by the way, I heard that after you were transferred to the leading organ of the army, you wrote a speech for the chief. ”

"No, no, I don't write speeches, I just write them sometimes. At that time, most of the leaders' speeches were made of porridge made of three grains of millet, which was empty, light and tasteless, and I admit this. Wang Quan said with a red face.

"You're right, it's different now than then, and now some leaders' speeches are a big pot of porridge made of six grains of millet, which is much thicker than then." After Hao Jinshan finished speaking, he laughed.

Hao Jinshan continued: "There are many stories about Director Chen, when he first arrived at our office, he called the equipment warehouse, saying that he was looking for the warehouse political commissar, and the warehouse attendant said that there was no political commissar in our warehouse. When Director Chen heard the fire, he shouted loudly on the phone: Political work is so important, why don't you have a political commissar in your warehouse? The other party said that our warehouse is a battalion-level unit, and there are only instructors, not political commissars. Director Chen was even more angry and scolded the attendant: Mom, what kind of circle are you giving Lao Tzu, isn't the instructor just a trumpet political commissar! Call him over, I'm in a hurry. Since then, dozens of instructors in our office have had a common nickname - the trumpet political commissar. ”

Wang Quan listened to Hao Jin's story, laughed happily, took a puff of cigarette and said: "He still has a story, one winter, the literary and artistic team of the higher authorities came to our construction site to give a condolence performance, and he was inspecting the work at the construction site at that time. As soon as a group of literary and artistic soldiers wearing cotton clothes and hats and big masks on their mouths jumped off the tarpaulin-covered truck, he stepped forward, cordially received them, and shook hands one by one. He also patted a small actor on the shoulder, and said happily, look at this young man, how strong he is, he looks like a small steel cannon, and his chest muscles are also very developed. As a result, a milky voice floated out of the mask: Chief, I'm a woman! ”

"You must have made up this story, why didn't I hear about it at the time?" Hao Jinshan pointed at Wang Quan with his finger, and laughed so hard that his whole body trembled, "However, although the working and living conditions of the army at that time were very poor, everyone was very happy together. I later said that the army was my home, but I ran away from home; Wind drill is my lover, but I am divorced from my lover. The iron-clad battalion is a flowing soldier, there is no way! ”

"Crooked Machine Gun" saw two old comrades-in-arms chatting enthusiastically on this side of the table, so he opened up a "second battlefield" on the other side of the table and chatted with Wang Yueying. She told Wang Yueying that when Hao Jinshan had just returned to his hometown after changing jobs, their life was very difficult. At that time, the military cadres who were transferred to jobs were all "where they came and went", and the cadres and soldiers who enlisted in the rural areas were not responsible for arranging work organizationally, and Xiao Tong was very unaccustomed to life after returning to the rural areas in the interior with Hao Jinshan. Later, Hao Jinshan found a job in the county construction company, and she also went to the county seat to do odd jobs, and the living conditions of her family were only slightly better from that time. When Xiao Mi was three years old, she left her daughter to her mother-in-law, and together with Hao Jinshan, she organized a construction team to the provincial capital, began to work hard, and after accumulating a certain amount of funds, she turned her attention to the larger city and came to Beijing.

Xiao Tong did not say something to Wang Yueying, after she entered the city, she helped Hao Jinshan to start a business at the beginning, and after the couple had a certain amount of savings, her main task became the "Great Wall", what she did during the day was how to win more money, and how to play good cards at night. When she woke up after winning the money, she regretted how she had just had a dream; When she woke up after losing money, she was glad that she had just had a dream.
