Seeing that Wu Ming was still polite, Qi Ke smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Xian has helped Brother Fool a lot, but I'm afraid I have to ask Brother Xian to keep the Maoliangwu militia for three months, so that they can continue to help protect the stations and railway lines in Jiangshan County, and the military salary will be doubled according to the standard of the Central Army."

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, a regiment of our military station will march from the Jiangxi border into western Zhejiang, and when the time comes, it will directly enter your Changshan military camp...... They are all recruits who have never carried guns, and they don't know anything about marching and fighting, so they have to trouble the virtuous brother to train them well, and then take over the defense of the Maoliangwu militia after training, can the virtuous brother help the foolish brother? ”

Wu Ming was very refreshing: "This is my brother's trust in my younger brother, who can make a fortune by my brother's side of the rich man, and he is not a fool."

Qi Ke shook his head and smiled, pointed at Wu Ming and said: "You guy, you are just different from others, but don't be happy first, there is still something that needs your help."

"Please do your brother's orders." Wu Ming patted his chest and said.

Qi Ke said helplessly: "Brother Yu is not very familiar with the situation in western Zhejiang, and the status of Quzhou Military Station is very important, the next step is to add and expand a number of military warehouses in this big camp, and the big playground will not be retained at that time, it's a pity."

"However, the training cannot be delayed for a moment, the foolish brother brought some technical personnel, there are few military talents, and the officers and soldiers under the command of the virtuous brother are all my Zhejiang children, and they can be trusted, so I also ask the virtuous brother to allocate another batch of battalion and company-level officers to me, so as to facilitate the management of the baggage regiment and the traffic corps to which the command station belongs......"

"After the last, there is a lack of an experienced and capable military deputy around Brother Foolish, if there is a good candidate, please put aside all your worries and recommend it vigorously."

Wu Ming was really embarrassed at this time, and he himself was not enough for battalion and company-level officers, so he thought about it for a while before saying: "Brother, to tell you the truth, there is a great lack of experienced and capable grassroots officers, and the tasks of the whole training and the army are heavy, and the junior brother has no good way to ...... for a while."

"However, there is indeed a good candidate, and if the younger brother thinks that he can still use it after the introduction, it is estimated that other problems can be properly solved.

Ziggy perked up when he heard this: "Don't talk about it, I don't know what you are?" The person who can make you look at it will never be far behind."

"That's ......"

Wu Ming introduced the situation of the person he introduced in this way, and Qi Ge was puzzled at first when he heard it, and then he thought about it, and finally under Wu Ming's persuasion, he decided to accept the trial for a period of time.

The next evening, in the small courtyard of the Chen family on Dongwu Road in the east of Quzhou City, fierce scolding was heard again.

Chen Qian, who was dressed in civilian clothes, threw down his feather duster, loudly drove away his two sons who were covering his buttocks and thighs and crying, and sat on the sofa in frustration and smoked a cigarette with a depressed face.

The diligent wife silently collected the books, toys, and fallen low stools on the floor, and when she was done, she stood up, looked at her husband, who had nowhere to go, with concern, and only after a long time mustered up the courage to persuade in a low voice:

"Or, go and admit your mistake to your old boss, Commander Fang...... Anyway, you have been with him for many years, as long as you sincerely apologize, everything may have a turnaround......

"Ahh

Chen Qian sighed and shook his head in frustration: "Do I still have the face to go to see the commander?" Don't talk about it, I'll go to the headquarters tomorrow to have a look, and if we can get severance pay, we'll clean up the yard in front of us, break down the fence and build a shop to set up a stall, and be diligent so that no one dies of hunger. ”

His wife's tears poured out again, and she was not afraid of being tired and tired of life, she was afraid of being pointed behind by neighbors and saying that his man was a white-eyed wolf, and the hardships and hardships of life were nothing, and he had survived the ups and downs for so many years, and the sharp decline in social status was the most tormenting.

She doesn't dare to think about what will happen in the future, will she be met with a lot of white eyes and sarcasm when she walks out of this house? Not to mention the two children who are still in elementary school, Chengdong Primary School is enrolled in Quzhou official eunuchs or children of famous families, if the rumors spread to the school, the life of the two children will definitely be difficult.

"Knock knock—"

There was a knock on the door outside, Chen Qian was in good spirits, raised his head and looked over, but thinking about his difficult situation, he reluctantly lowered his head again, his wife had to take off her apron when she saw this, and ran out of the door to open the door after wiping her hands, and saw that it was a strange lieutenant colonel and two lieutenants who did not know, wearing the military uniform of the Central Army, but the collar badge was black

Outside the door, a brand-new black sedan was parked on the side of the road, the engine was still ringing, and it seemed that it had no intention of entering the house.

The lieutenant colonel politely asked if this was Chief Chen Qian's home? After confirming, he took out an envelope and handed it over, explaining that he was too busy with official business to go back quickly, and then saluted and left in the car.

Chen Qian's wife was stunned for a while, then suddenly came to her senses, turned around and ran in, handed the envelope to her husband, who was immersed in smoking, and muttered:

"I don't know which unit Lu Dao is, a lieutenant colonel, two captains, all with black collar badges, and driving a small car, leaving a letter, saying that they were too busy and left."

Chen Qian raised his head suddenly, thought about it and quickly opened the envelope, took out the letterhead inside and opened it quickly, after reading it, his face was full of shock, he leaned on the back of the sofa and couldn't speak for a long time, so frightened that his wife thought something was wrong, and fell up and hugged Chen Qian and cried bitterly:

"You, you, I have long advised you not to accept money from improper sources, but you don't listen, it's over, it's over, it's over, if you have three long and two short, how can I live with my children...... Whining...... I hate you with a saber, I hate you to death......"

Chen Qian came to his senses, hugged his grief-stricken wife tightly, and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, it's a good thing, go, bring my military uniform, the gray one, I'm going to see Commander Fang." ”

When the wife heard this, she immediately stopped crying, and suddenly struggled, and saw her husband showing a sincere smile, so she immediately ran into the back room before she had time to inquire about the content of the letter, took out the security force officer uniform that Chen Qian had not worn for a long time, and hurriedly waited for her husband to put it on

Twenty minutes later, Chen Qian entered the extremely familiar Quzhou Fushan camp, came to the gate of the familiar courtyard, and in the complaint of Fang's sister-in-law, who was half blaming and half happy, took off his military hat, and entered the familiar study with heavy steps.

Fang Youchun looked up to the sky and sighed, walked over to help his former beloved general, sat on the sofa with him, took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into his hand: "Don't talk about the past, I know that you have your difficulties, to say something from my heart, I can't get angry if I want to be angry with you, who made you my brother in life and death?" ”

"Big Brother ......"

Chen Qian cried even more sadly.

Fang Youchun patted him on the shoulder: "Alas, if you can come to confess your mistakes to me, I will be very satisfied, we will still be brothers in the future, but you don't have to thank me for this matter, the person who recommended you to serve as the deputy station supervisor of the Quzhou Military Station who specially led the troops is not me, it is Wu Ming, he has a good relationship with the new Quzhou Military Station Station supervisor Qi Ke, and he has never blamed you, and now he has rushed back to Changshan...... He asked me to tell you that it was a rare opportunity, saying that Qi Ke is a very good person, let you cheer up, if you don't have a good reputation, he will not have face. ”

Chen Qian was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and leaned on Fang Youchun's shoulder: "Big brother, you beat me......"
