After a few years, the 'Red Army' that had served here no longer existed in the mighty tide of the headquarters, and the handful of 'Red Army companies' were also dragged from east to west and incorporated into the units of friendly forces, and Guo Kaiqing, the fifth brother who graduated from the military command major, was faced with the difficult situation of 'being unemployed' after 'graduating from university'.

Since there was no real staff, Guo Kaiqing had to go to work in a large office with a group of people, and this 'big office' was not a good place, that is, in a bungalow, there was an area of thirty or forty square meters, two long tables, chairs were stacked in a line, and the daily newspapers and military newspapers of the day were placed on them, so that everyone could look through them when they had nothing to do.

There is a 'colonel', three 'lieutenant colonels', five 'majors', and two 'captains' in the same room, all of whom are waiting to be assigned work, Guo Kaiqing is a 'major' here, and he is a young and energetic one, who is responsible for turning on the water for the people in the house every day, and two 'captains' with lower ranks, who are responsible for cleaning and cleaning windows.

Because his wife Chen Shuqin's work is very casual, the national security headquarters specially gave her a mobile job, she came here as an 'inspector', from the southwest, followed her husband Guo Kaiqing to the military academy, stayed until two years later, and returned to the southeast from the southwest, she also led her son to follow again, fortunately, her son Guo Xiaoqing didn't care, wherever he was, he could find his little friends, and now Guo Kaiqing returned to the army, their home, and came to this noisy compound again.

The deputy battalion level can follow the army, Guo Kaiqing is now at the main battalion level, and the family members of the army naturally have to give a place to live. Looking at the 'colonel', the family above the 'colonel' lives in a big high-rise building, Chen Shuqin is also very envious, but there is no way, how can her husband be just an inconspicuous 'major' in the army, and he has no position, so they can only stay where they are assigned.

The location of the military headquarters of a certain army, from a large city. Transformed into another big city, because after the reform and opening up, it was divided into an economic zone, and at the same time a large number of outsiders poured in, the land was reduced a lot, and the military department was only divided into a handful of family areas, and it was on this large piece of land, in just a few years, large and small buildings were erected. The chiefs at the army level are still the 'generals' buildings, and the divisions and regiments are also inhabited by large and small buildings. 'Lieutenant colonel', 'major', relegated to the end, they belong to yes. In the embarrassing situation of 'high can't be high, low can't be enough', and those below 'major' have no conditions to 'follow the army'. Naturally, they can live in spacious barracks, with large office dormitories for use, and only unemployed people like Guo Kaiqing can follow people with the same fate as him, gathered in a large courtyard, waiting for promotion, everyone is looking forward to, 'one day, mixed with a colonel, colonel' or something, so that they can move out of this stinking 'slum'. ’

"It's time to get off work!" A middle-aged woman who was washing clothes was saying hello to Chen Shuqin, who was returning from riding a bicycle, and this woman's man was a 'lieutenant colonel', a deputy regimental-level section member of a certain department of the military department, and their family lived in the same compound as Guo Kaiqing's family.

'Yes, sister-in-law, do the laundry! Chen Shuqin comes home from work every day, always passing by the vegetable market to buy vegetables, today she just paid her salary, she is ready to make up for her husband and son, a large 'ribs', hanging on the handlebar.

"Hey, your family doesn't save money, how much does it cost to have such a big rib!" The middle-aged woman who was washing clothes was very envious when she saw the 'ribs' that Chen Shuqin took from the car.

It's not a lot of money, just more than 20 yuan, and I'm going to marinate it and bring it to the class for the child's father to eat! Chen Shuqin put the 'ribs' back in the house and took the initiative to help the middle-aged woman wring up the washed clothes.

'Our family doesn't dare to spend money like this, it's not like your family, it's a dual-income job, and my little military expenses are not enough to send home! The middle-aged woman seems to have some inferiority, she is also a neighbor, Guo Kaiqing's family eats well every day, and her family's living standard is too ordinary.

'Life will be fine, I heard the child's father say that the headquarters is about to give a salary increase, and when the time comes, everything will be available! In order to enlighten the other party, Chen Shuqin told the middle-aged woman about the topics that Guo Kaiqing and the others usually discussed in the office of the military department, and told Chen Shuqin when they returned home.

"Yes, that's a good dare, by the way, the old Guo family, your family is about to assign work, right?" Among the military wives, they all call the surname of the male family, and who is added to the 'family' after it, generally does not call the military sister-in-law's name.

"Two days ago, he said that there was a position as a battalion commander, but before the child's father went to the chief to say it, the good news was posted, I see, there will be no drama for a while, unless the people in their office are gone," Chen Shuqin really didn't expect Guo Kaiqing to find a job, if that was the case, he would not be able to go home every day.

'You don't want to give a gift to the head assigned by the supervisor?' If you don't send something this year, where can people think of you? Although the middle-aged woman did not have a job, she was very accidental.

"I didn't think about it, I didn't have it, even if we did, we wouldn't send it," Chen Shuqin helped the middle-aged woman wring her clothes, and left, no longer continuing the conversation with the middle-aged woman.

'Mom, I'm back!' After a while, Guo Xiaoqing carried a schoolbag into the yard, there was a little girl beside him, this girl is also the daughter of a middle-aged woman, her family is for some reason, it is too late to have a child, so the daughter of the middle-aged woman and her family has the opportunity to be in the same class as the newly transferred Guo Xiaoqing, the two children are very close to each other, and they go to and from school together.

'When you go home, your mother told you, what was the first thing to do?' Chen Shuqin was happy when she saw her son, because she was not by his side when her son was young, not to mention regretting it now.

Guo Xiaoqing looked at his mother with big eyes, 'Coming home? Wash your hands first,' said as he walked to the sink in the courtyard, rolled up his cuffs, and washed it with a bang.

'Mom, what are we going to eat tonight?' Guo Xiaoqing smelled the aroma in the house.

'The braised pork ribs that Mom made for you, you will go to Xiaofang's house in a while, and call her over to eat together! At first, she was a militia platoon commander, and as long as the family cooked food, she would call the militia to come and share it, and now it is the same.

'Oh, eat braised pork ribs, Mom, I'll call her!' Guo Xiaoqing went to the neighbor's house and called the middle-aged woman's daughter, and the two walked to Chen Shuqin's house one after the other.

The middle-aged woman in the same hospital generally does not show up at this time, she is going out, but it is not good, open one eye, close one eye, and know that it is, who can't make this 'braised pork ribs' at home, if she has money, she will not buy this 'ribs', she will buy some 'plate oil', and in addition to receiving 'meat oil', "oil" can also satisfy cravings, which is not a matter of why not do it.

Watching the two children gobble up the 'braised pork ribs', Chen Shuqin sat on the bed and was very happy, her busyness was not in vain, in order to be with her husband and son, she gave up several opportunities for promotion, and the colleagues who had worked before were promoted one by one, promoted, and raised their salaries, everyone lived in a big house in the capital, even the old colleague Chu Shan, now he has become a very capable 'director' of the headquarters, I heard that in order to praise his work, he was also assigned one' 'Small Western-style Building', not to mention how comfortable it is, but now, Chen Shuqin can only serve as a substitute in the 'National Security Bureau' here, although she is a 'headquarters leader', but it is not a real shortage after all, but in terms of salary and treatment, it is just better.

Since Guo Kaiqing returned to the army, he gave up the habit of commuting by bicycle, the reason is that he sits in the office every day, and does not exercise, which is a matter of morning and evening, so he runs to work in the morning, walks to get off work in the afternoon, passes by the chess stall where he plays chess, he still watches for a while, and the time is almost up, his wife Chen Shuqin made dinner, and he walked home unhurriedly.

'Hey, son! You're done with your homework, and you're going to play! As soon as he entered the door of the courtyard, he saw Guo Xiaoqing and several children in the same courtyard playing games, Guo Kaiqing shouted a few times, so frightened that the children got out of the way, and quickly let him pass, because he looked too scary.

'It's already been written, Dad, why did you come back so late, and you have nothing to do, so you should come back early!' Guo Xiaoqing was so innocent and ruthless, telling the truth, so that the adults in the same courtyard who had finished dinner laughed back and forth.

Guo Kaiqing went up and kicked Guo Xiaoqing, he naturally couldn't kick too hard, 'Lao Tzu's business, when will you worry about it, you can play, play, when your beard grows so tall as you, you will know that you are crying!" ’

'Cut, I don't believe it!' Guo Xiaoqing was too lazy to continue to entangle with his father, he pushed his father to go quickly, so as to make room for everyone to continue playing.

Chen Shuqin is a southern woman's unique 'small jasper' temperament, no matter how late she waits, she has to eat with her husband, today in addition to 'braised pork ribs', there is also a side dish, plus a bowl of clear soup, the two chatted while eating.

"What did you say to Xiaoqing in the courtyard just now, did you beat him again?" Chen Shuqin does not advocate the education of beating and scolding her son and corporal punishment.

'I didn't say anything, this kid dares to take care of Lao Tzu's business, big boy, it's nothing to hit twice, when I was young, my father hung me on the beam of the house and beat me, he was much happier than me! Guo Kaiqing's method of educating his son has always been 'to make his son afraid of himself, he is willing to be red-faced, and his wife sings white-faced.' ’

"Then when I was a child, why didn't anyone beat me, did your old Guo family all beat up children!" Although Chen Shuqin was very disgusted with her husband beating her son, she did not turn against her husband because of this.

"That's not true, my dad beat me hard, the others are too rape, let's call me the third brother, he has always been flamboyant, my dad didn't wait to beat him, he couldn't cry!" Thinking of what happened when he was a child, Guo Kaiqing thought it was very interesting, he was talking and having fun, and sprayed all the rice grains on his wife Chen Shuqin's face.
