One hundred and eighty-seven military dinners and two months off

At the end of July 1998, that is, the third year of Chen Qiang's enlistment, division commander Chen Qianjun fell in love with this incomparably outstanding talent at a glance because he had received many awards for meritorious service and excellent military quality. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Later, he went through a half-year military training life at the XX Army Military Academy, and successfully graduated at the end of January 1999.

At 5 a.m. on 1 February of the same year, under the full escort of Staff Officer Zhu of the Division's Military Affairs Department, he returned safely to his old unit, that is, the 78th Tank Regiment, which had originally enlisted in the army, at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon of 4 February.

After hearing what his old head said, it looks like there are still 12 days before the Spring Festival, that is, on February 16. Chen Qiang finally understood, it turned out that the Spring Festival was going to be celebrated again.

When he was in the army, he never had the opportunity to ask for leave to go back to his hometown to visit relatives, and according to the regulations of the army, he should have two months off in the three years he was a soldier.

For Tang Chenggang's last sentence just now, that is, do you have any ideas? This completely touched his heart now.

Oh, yes! Now it's time to go home and visit your relatives back home.

Chen Qiang carried the army green backpack he brought back from the military academy again, and when Tang Chenggang handed over the familiar key to him again, he couldn't help but feel inexplicably excited.

After coming to the basement of the headquarters again, it was still the same room he had been living in. I casually put the big backpack on the iron frame bunk bed on the west side of the room. Take a look around, fortunately, there are a few water bottles in the corner, uncork the bottle and touch it, there is really hot water in it, it seems that he has been waiting for him to come back for the past few days.

Chen Qiang washed his face again and drank several cups of tea to quench his thirst. As for the small wooden bed he had slept on, it was now covered with a thick futon, and there was a completely brand new Green Army quilt on it.

Looking at all this familiar and slightly unfamiliar environment in front of him, Chen Qiang's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement and quick recollection. This year, he learned to drive a car at the Yetang Automobile Training Base, and nearly five months of grassroots life in an infantry company, and finally half a year of life at the Army Military Academy, and he has not slept here for nearly two years.

After resting for a while, he came to the military affairs unit again, and told Tang Chenggang that he had better go to Lao Feng at Gate No. 4 to prepare for the go, and he could entertain the two comrades of the military affairs section in the evening. Then he asked the head of the unit to go to the guest house to find the two of them, and the comrades in his own unit were all going to attend the banquet tonight, and he Chen Qiang was invited to this guest.

There are eight people who came to this banquet tonight. The five people who came the most were still from the military affairs unit, this unit commander Tang Chenggang, staff officer Wang Dazhuang, and the newcomer staff officer Li Wenshu, as for the staff officer Zhang Changshan, who was already returning to his hometown.

The rest are, of course, the archivist Hu Qiongshan and the confidential officer Pan Xiaolong, who and Chen Qiang both came out of the 5th Tank Battalion before. Chen Qiang called Lao Feng directly into the room and asked him to cook as much as he could, but if there are any good dishes and game in this one, he must be bold and go up.

At six o'clock in the evening, in Lao Feng's hotel at Gate No. 4, Chen Qiang of course wanted to thank Staff Officer Zhu and Lao Xu, the driver of the Military Affairs Section of the division headquarters. The most important thing is this Staff Officer Zhu, who was personally sent and picked up by him before and after he went to the military academy.

As for this wine to drink at night? Just that Lang bar, let's have three boxes first, let's have a bottle first, and save each other from constantly being humble, you pour it for me, I pour it, and at the same time, it can ensure that everyone drinks the same amount.

For Chen Qiang's suggestion, Staff Officer Zhu was of course very happy. Just after Lao Feng hurriedly served ten cold dishes first, the eight people at this table began to drink. In order to express his gratitude to Staff Officer Zhu and the volunteer driver Lao Xu, Chen Qiang simply killed a bottle of liquor as if he was "blowing a horn" in one go, and then put the empty bottle aside very casually, and immediately opened a bottle for himself.

After seeing Chen Qiang's move, Staff Officer Zhu and Lao Xu were both shocked, this kid's previous "glorious deeds" are really not blown, this kid is too good at drinking! If you drink it like this, I'm afraid that everyone at this table will be put down by this kid!

In the next wine battle, Chen Qiang, of course, exerted the internal strength of the "Golden Dragon Hand" again, and forced the wine he drank out of the soles of his feet one by one. Taking advantage of the opportunity to go out for a small relief, Chen Qiang found Lao Feng and generously gave him 2,300 yuan according to the price he said.

Among them, the wine money alone is three boxes and eighteen bottles, a total of 1,800 yuan, and the money for this dish is not messy, only 500 yuan. For Chen Qiang's main patron, Lao Feng didn't dare to mess around at all, this "God of Wealth" hadn't come to him for a long time. Fortunately, this kid is finally back now, and presumably his business will be cut off in the future.

Later, when recalling this feast and wine war, Staff Officer Zhu of the Military Affairs Section and the old Xu who drove the car did not remember the big dishes they ate so clearly. They just firmly remembered that that night, Chen Qiang drank five bottles in a row and drank everyone at the table, which also became a "heroic deed" that they had to brag about every time they drank after they returned to the division headquarters.

After the banquet finally dispersed at eight o'clock in the evening, with the support of Lao Feng and the two waiters in the store, under the leadership of Chen Qiang, Tang Chenggang and Staff Officer Zhu and Lao Xu from the Military Affairs Section of the division headquarters were sent to their homes and the guest house in the regiment respectively.

After thanking Lao Feng and the others, Chen Qiang supported Pan Xiaolong with his left hand, and pulled Hu Qiongshan towards the headquarters with his right hand. After first pressing Hu Qiongshan to the downstairs door of the headquarters, Chen Qiang sent Pan Xiaolong to the door of the small room next to the headquarters on the second floor of the headquarters, that is, the secret room.

He knew the habits of this kid's previous life, and when he reached out and touched it, there was a long string of keys hanging from the waistband of his trousers. With great difficulty, he opened the room, put him on the bed, took off his coat and shoes, covered him with a thick two-layer quilt, and after he had slept well, he took the door down the stairs.

The archivist Hu Qiongshan is still awake, he is sitting on the ground, and he keeps saying that he also sleeps in the basement, in the basement. That is, the original utility room opposite Chen Qiang has now been occupied by this guy.

Chen Qiang directly helped Hu Qiongshan to the dormitory in the basement, took out the key from Lao Hu's pocket, and opened the big iron door outside the basement and Lao Hu's own room in turn. After arranging for Lao Hu to sleep again, Chen Qiang firmly closed the outermost big iron door again. After a period of busy work just now, Chen Qiang was tired and sweated profusely.

After washing his face again, Chen Qiang soaked his feet again, which was really relieving! After sitting on the bed for more than an hour, Chen Qiang fell asleep with peace of mind.

On this night, he dreamed of countless people, including his own relatives and Li Jiayi, Miss Liu, Wang Chunfang, Yezi Furong, Alan and others. They all kept circling around him like a marquee, and as for what was said, he didn't hear it clearly at all.

At five o'clock in the morning of the next day, 5 February, the wake-up call of the troops rang again on time. Chen Qiang gradually woke up from his sleep.

He was just about to get up, and suddenly remembered that this was his return to the old army, and according to his previous habits, he didn't need to participate in any morning drills at all. After lying down again, he no longer had any thoughts to sleep, and after thinking for a while, Chen Qiang had already made up his mind that he must ask the leaders of the regiment for leave to go back to his hometown to visit relatives today.

For breakfast in the morning, after he got up and washed, he was not embarrassed to go to Tang Chenggang's house, but came to Lao Feng outside Gate No. 4 and asked for a cage of meat buns, which he ate beautifully with red chili oil.

For Chen Qiang, of course, it is the best meat bun, and as for the others, of course, it is still the kind that can't eat the meat filling in three bites.

Not long after he hurriedly returned to the dormitory in the basement, the class number in the regiment rang, and Chen Qiang came to the office of the military affairs unit after grinding for more than ten minutes.

Tang Chenggang, the old head of the unit, welcomed him very warmly, first made him a cup of tea, and after listening to Chen Qiang's request to take a leave of absence for two months.

He groaned for a moment, and then said slowly: "This time, after I asked Chief of Staff Wang to approve your leave, you will have to go to the cadre unit of the Political Department to ask for leave in the future."
