With the gradual deepening of China's reform and opening up, the army's military equipment has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

At this time, three new Jiefang-brand military trucks were distributed at the border inspection station. On the basis of the original jeep, a brand new military motorcycle has been issued, plus two cross-bucket military motorcycles, and the current border checkpoints have initially realized the transformation into a "motorized unit."

After the equipment was in place, the higher authorities ordered the automobile regiment of the provincial military district to transfer a platoon of cadres and fighters to belong to the border inspection station. Most of these drivers are volunteers, and their driving skills are very sophisticated.

A year later, Liu Hong was officially promoted to a battalion-level officer, and the two words in front of the original acting station chief have been canceled, but there is no political coordinator at the border inspection station, which shows that the chief has great trust in Liu Hong's work.

Zhang Yu, who studied at the Military Medical University, also lived a fashionable life like the young men and women in society.

City A is a rare metropolis in northern China, and its changes have also followed the pace of reform and opening up and kept pace with the times.

In order to satisfy her luxurious life, Zhang Yu kept asking Liu Hong for money. Sometimes when it is not enough, she will find Liu Hong's friend Xiaopang and ask for money from him, because she knows that Xiaopang is now not good without his husband.

At first, Xiaopang tried her best to meet Zhang Yu's requirements, but this young lady's appetite was really big, not only to invite the whole class to go to the hotel together, but also to go shopping with her classmates to buy clothes, Zhang Yu paid alone, her original salary of more than 100 yuan could not meet her current life at all, and she didn't dare to take it from her father, of course she had to find someone else.

Liu Hong knew about his wife's arrogance, and called Xiaopang, saying that she was extravagant, and there was no way. He could only talk to Chubby. You give her the money first, and we'll count it later.

With Liu Hong's approval, of course, Xiaopang did not refuse Zhang Yu, and over time, the two of them also had feelings beyond ordinary people in private, which made the little "dumb" who was Chubby's wife very disgusted. Because people with disabilities, at this point, are still very sensitive.

Professors of agricultural universities. With the needs of the tertiary industry of the Agricultural University, it gradually left the border inspection station.

Agricultural University has set up its own fungus breeding company to provide seedlings for the majority of farmers. In the future, they will be responsible for the guidance of the border inspection station base, and they will teach the people at the border inspection station to raise seedlings and so on, and they will come only if there are problems that cannot be solved.

Without the experts of the Agricultural University, Liu Hong handed over the fungus base to the deputy assistant to take care of it.

Everything is done step by step. If there is no fungus, they will go to the agricultural company to wholesale, and when they are finished, they will use their own military trucks to pull them to City A. Give it to Chubby for sale. Then Xiaopang will transfer the money to the account of the border checkpoint in the form of remittance, so that the border checkpoint is indeed rich. Not only did they have hundreds of thousands of deposits, but even the soldiers got real benefits.

The bazaar on the border, with the deepening of reform and opening up. It has become more prosperous. Chinese businessmen, large and small, have come to this humble border town from all over the motherland. Most of them came to pan for gold, often with an investment of hundreds or thousands of yuan, and in a short time, they got back tens of thousands of yuan in return, which was the Sino-Soviet border trade in the eighties.

The military boots of the Soviet army have always been Liu Hong's favorite, and he wanted to get a pair first, but he still held back. Now that he had a lot of savings in his account, he found the deputy assistant in charge of logistics and asked him if he could go to the border market to buy some and equip the cadres and soldiers in the station.

When the deputy associate heard that it was going to cost so much money, he immediately hesitated.

"I said Lao Liu, how much does this cost, a pair of high-waisted Soviet-style military boots, at least 100 yuan, there are three or four hundred cadres and soldiers in the station, not thirty or forty thousand, you really dare to think."

"Isn't money earned just to be spent, we have been poor and afraid all these years, you look outside, it's only been a few years, there are flowers everywhere, a pair of Soviet-style high-waisted military boots per person is not excessive, if there is any more money, I still want a Soviet-style motorcycle."

Seeing that he couldn't convince Liu Hong, the deputy assistant proposed to open a party committee to see what everyone said. Liu Hong happily agreed.

The results of the border checkpoint's business for more than two years have long been seen with their own eyes among cadres at the level of company commanders. They just didn't say it because of Liu Hong's power. Seeing that this party committee is studying the issue of spending money, everyone is energetic.

"I think it's right, the stationmaster's proposal is very right, this fungus is the station's tertiary industry, and you should spend it if you make money, I listen to the stationmaster." The commander of the first company first catered to Liu Hong's opinion.

"I said, you have to spend money on the blade, isn't it too extravagant to buy military boots, why don't we buy something else, now the blackboards of each company are broken and unsightly, or let's replace these necessary things first." The instructor of the second company also spoke.

Subsequently, the party committee members in these stations all spoke one sentence at a time, talked about different opinions, and attacked each other, Liu Hong only watched from the sidelines, and it was a little funny to see these people making noise, and the meeting lasted for more than two hours.

After the last moment, Liu Hong got up and spoke, "Everyone is right, but I propose that the secretary ask the secretary to read the deposits and accounts in our station to everyone, and then express your personal opinions." ”

The secretary on the side had asked Liu Hong for instructions long before the meeting. Liu Hong told him to prepare all the accounts, and at the party committee, he would explain it to everyone.

"The following is due to read to you, in the past two years, the income and expenditure of our station. The food subsidy issued by the superior is ~~".

Before the secretary finished speaking, Liu Hong interrupted him.

"Don't talk about anything else, just report the amount of the fungus base and the tertiary industry such as pig breeding and vegetable planting."

"At present, the total income and deposit of the tertiary industry is 800,000 yuan." The Secretary sat down.

When everyone heard this, they were stunned, they didn't expect this fungus industry to be so profitable, and in just two years, the income was so amazing.

Liu Hong summed it up after the most recklessly, "Everyone is right, I am the No. 1, and I decide that all the border inspection stations, cadres and soldiers will each have a pair of Soviet-style military boots, and I and the secretary will go to purchase them tomorrow, and each company will report the stationery and things needed, and after the approval of the deputy assistant, as long as it meets the requirements, you can buy it." ”

When all the party committee members heard this, they were all happy and laughed.

"Don't laugh, I haven't finished talking yet, everyone usually works very hard, all the cadres start this month, each person will receive a subsidy of fifty yuan, the squad leader and deputy squad leader, ten yuan per person, and three yuan per general soldier, first send it for half a year, if half a year later, there is still a surplus in the account of the station, let's have a meeting and study it."

Send money to the big guys, of course, no one will have an opinion. After the meeting, the companies went to the secretary general to receive the company's allowance.

In the evening, the secretary came to Liu Hong's dormitory, took out a brown paper file bag, and handed it to Liu Hong.

"Stationmaster, this is your share."

"What about the deputy assistant's share, are you ready?"

"It's been prepared for a long time, two thousand less than you, and none of this has been settled." The Secretary is very shrewd.

"That's good, what about your share, don't take more, we'll see you in the future, your benefits are indispensable." Liu Hong's words seemed to be said in a commanding tone.

The clerk smiled and walked out of the hall to the deputy assistant's dormitory.

On the August 1st Army Day, this is the tenth time Liu Hong has come since he became a soldier, and he doesn't remember it clearly, he doesn't want to recall his life as a soldier, he only remembers now that he is a battalion officer, the head of a reinforced battalion, and he is in charge of hundreds of kilometers of borders, as if he is a "feudal official".

On this day, Liu Hong stepped onto the podium of the big playground early and inspected all the troops at the border checkpoint.

When the cadres and soldiers of each company, wearing pure Soviet-style high-waisted military boots, walked neatly and neatly, and when a square team and a square team passed the rostrum, Liu Hong would salute and interact. He really regarded himself as the chief, and he was very satisfied now, because his son was about to be born, and that son was not born to Zhang Yu, but the son's mother was another woman.
