The injuries of the "demobilized soldiers" were much lighter than Commander Zhang had imagined, and the construction of the artillery regiment's organ building had also come to an end. Due to the strict requirements in terms of materials and quality, the building is still "magnificent".

"What's the matter, brother, did I do a good job? I just lost money on this project, and I didn't make any money at all. ”

"It's good to have a good conscience, if I didn't come to the construction site every day to supervise you, you would have stopped playing a long time ago, no one is a fool, you can't do anything to lose money? Okay, don't talk nonsense, I'll say good things to you in front of the head of the regiment in the future. ”

At the completion ceremony of the artillery regiment building, the leaders of the two levels of military division also came to attend the ceremony, looking at the tall and magnificent office building, the leaders all had their own feelings.

"When I joined the army, I was in the B regiment, except for a few 'halls' left by the little devils, they were all ventilated earthen houses, and it was good to say in the summer, but in winter, I had to run two miles away to go to a big toilet, and there was a comrade-in-arms in our class who didn't wait to run to the place, and his pants were all." The commander of the R Army remembered the days when he was a soldier in the fifties of the last century, and the conditions were quite difficult.

"Don't say that when you were a soldier, I was a soldier for more than six years, when I was a soldier, the artillery regiment was reorganized to Jingbei, this regiment office building was built by us brick by brick, there were few literate people at that time, it would be good to be able to build it, if it wasn't for the good life of reform and opening up, how could our regiment build such a good big house, the design is from the high-tech design institute, and the work also invited a construction company, by the way, I have to introduce you to the great heroes of my regiment, Chief Zhang, you come over." The commander of the artillery regiment had a very good impression of Chief Zhang, and originally thought that the project would be handed over to the "demobilized soldiers" to do, even if it was finished, but he did not expect that with the careful supervision of Chief Zhang, the quality was not said, and the project money was not overreported. He was so happy.

"Hello chief." Chief Zhang ran to the leaders and saluted a standard military salute.

"Hello, I said that you weren't originally from the Red Army Division? How did you get to the artillery regiment? "When the army commander was the commander of the Red Army division, he met Commander Zhang and had some impressions of him.

"I've been here for a long time, it's Minister Hu's order, then you're already in the army, so I don't know what to do."

"Oh, you've done this project a lot, right?" The commander seemed to have heard something.

"Report to the chief, I didn't smoke a cigarette, and the money didn't reach my pocket. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check. ”

"It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have it, some of our comrades want to make a little fortune as long as they find some opportunities, this is very bad." The army commander not only did not praise Commander Zhang, but also said some words of education to the people around him, and then left without eating.

The commander of the artillery regiment patted the shoulder of the head of the unit, "The body is not afraid of the shadow, there is nothing to do." I support you, you are very upright. ”

Chief Zhang nodded, didn't say anything, and watched the leaders' motorcade pass through the gate.

Zhang Nu. The business of the snack bar is getting worse and worse, because with the gradual increase in the number of people who "go to the sea", there are more and more people who do small business. Originally, her shop didn't have any special features. Coupled with the small number of customers, she quit the chef and became a "master pay" herself.

"Business is not good today. How come there is no one. Chief Zhang took advantage of the noon break to come to Zhang Nu's store to take a look, now Zhang Nu has divorced from the "demobilized soldiers", and her source of life depends on this snack department.

"On Monday, business is thin." Zhang Nu replied weakly.

"And this? I don't eat at noon. ”

"Big brother, don't mention it, there was a hand on the other side of the street, and the business was snatched, and there are several small restaurants on our street." Zhang Nu's distant sister is a quick mouth, and she spoke first.

"Then you didn't think of anything?"

"What's the way, the noodles sold by people are delicious and cheap, a glass of wine at noon, a chicken rack is used as a dish, who will come to us to eat and drink."

"Didn't you guys have a lot of people here before? Old guests are not coming? ”

"In the past, most of them were friends of the kid from the 'demobilized soldiers', he set up a construction team, and they all came here to eat, but now they have also changed their constitution and set up their own house, and now they are not coming."

Zhang Nu bowed her head and didn't continue to say anything, her husband was let out of the gang by herself, looking at the young woman who stabbed the "demobilized soldier" with a fruit knife, it is not easy to live, and there is a "black child" without a hukou, these "demobilized soldiers" are all confessed, all because of the man's fault, there was such a tragedy, Zhang Nu also made a decisive decision to suspend the relationship with the "demobilized soldier", what I didn't expect was that "disaster is not a single line", a couple from Lanzhou, came here to open a noodle shop, has almost cut off the way of life in the store, and she is now helpless.

"What's wrong? Bring me a bowl of wontons and more cilantro. "The person who came was Ding Ning, and now she is very familiar with the relationship between her and Chief Zhang and Zhang Nu, and she always comes to the snack bar to take the time.

"Eat something else, the wontons are gone." Due to the bad business now, there are not many people who want to mix wontons every day, if there are too many packages, it is not easy to preserve it in the hot weather, so I have to stop this thing.

"Don't eat anything else, I don't even have this when I open a restaurant, I'll close it early, I'll go to eat a bowl of noodles on the other side, hey, you don't want to eat it, don't you need me to bring you a bowl." Ding Ning now has only one title for Chief Zhang, and that is "hey", she doesn't want to call him uncle or anything.

After a while, Ding Ning walked in with two bowls of steaming noodles, "Look at this smell, it smells fragrant, you learn to order." ”

None of the people in the room spoke, leaving Ding Ning to perform alone.

Chief Zhang smelled the smell of noodles, and involuntarily took a bite, "It's really good, I didn't say it, it seems that sister, you have to change your career." ”

"Changing careers? What are you doing when you change careers? Zhang Nu muttered quietly.

"I almost forgot, I came here today for this, and now that I've found a way to make money, I see, you close this shop, let's do it together."

"What for?" Zhang Nu looked at Ding Ning with wide eyes.

"There is a vegetable wholesale market in the north of the city, I have thought about it, we will go to that cabbage, and we will definitely make money."

"Will that work?"

"Hey, what do you say?" Ding Ning pointed at Unit Chief Zhang with chopsticks.

"I'll do this, the director of this market is a demobilized cadre, and I still have a friend with him, or I'll help you talk about it."

The vegetable wholesale market is a subordinate unit of the District Agricultural Bureau, and it also belongs to the "business establishment", and the director turned out to be a soldier, an old man in the artillery regiment.

"If you want to do it, you can introduce it to me." Zhang Nu slapped the table, stood up, and her expression became much more cheerful.

What Chief Zhang didn't expect was that Ding Ning quit his job and took out a thousand yuan as the principal.

Everything went more smoothly than everyone imagined, with the help of the director of the vegetable station, Zhang Nu and Ding Ning rented a location close to the gate, not only extending in all directions, but also the lowest rent, which is inseparable from the face of Chief Zhang.

The reform and opening up in the eighties of the last century, not only broke the planning of the economy, but also made people with ability and ideas make a lot of money, and soon Zhang Nu and Ding Ning became the "big households" of the vegetable station, after a lot of banknotes were in hand, they also developed a lot of new businesses, that is, to send food to the canteens of major enterprises, up to government agencies, down to various inconspicuous snack bars, they have left their figure of delivering food, and they have simply become the "queen of selling vegetables".

After the artillery regiment set up a service center, it was also a job to purchase vegetables, but because the staff did not know how to trade in the market, most of the vegetables purchased were either not fresh or too simple, and this aroused strong repercussions from the grassroots troops, and some people even proposed to abolish the service center, delegate power to each company, and let the "sergeants" go to the streets to buy vegetables again.

After repeated consideration, Chief Zhang finally handed over the work of delivering vegetables to Zhang Nu and Ding Ning, asking them to guarantee that they would only earn a penny per catty of vegetables, which would be regarded as a favor to repay him.

After that, the artillery regiment once again ushered in a rich source of food, the food was also much richer, and the problem of canceling the service center was naturally solved, but what Chief Zhang didn't expect was that a pair of sharp eyes had been staring at him, and he had an accident soon.
