Chapter 68 Anecdote of City A (47) The Story of Three Little Birds
Either you changed the world, or the world changed you.
The salary of a 'major' battalion commander in the mid-nineties of the last century was only six or seven hundred yuan, and the second wife of the battalion commander Di Lei was very frugal, only giving him two hundred yuan a month as pocket money, and Di Lei himself smoked, so it was not so pompous to invite the two soldiers under him to eat, and the three of them sat together in the snack bar near the bus stop.
'Come, let's take a sip, I'm happy today!' Dile, who had never been fond of beer, took his glass and lifted his briefcase hanging on his chair, which he had recorded today, and had gone back to show the regimental commander.
Drinking was not intimidating to Guo Xiaosong, but the battalion clerk was a little grinning, but he still put down the cup after taking a sip from his mouth.
"Hey, don't sit here and don't know, the three of us are still fellow villagers, good fellows, good fellows, fellows see fellows, tears in our eyes!" The 'one sip' on Dilley's lips was a glass, and the glass was not big, but he felt that it was not enjoyable, so he came again.
After Guo Xiaosong finished drinking, he slapped his mouth a few times, tasting the taste of this 'Erguotou', and then said, "Battalion Commander, do you say that the Erguotou wine in the capital, is the 'Xiaojindou' in City A delicious?" ’
The battalion commander Di Lei shook his head and said, "These people in the capital just love to learn from others, and learning nothing is like it, these two pots are originally the strength of the HB people, but as soon as they arrive in the capital, they change their taste, how can we 'Xiaojin Dou' be delicious, no, no!" ’
The battalion clerk only cares about eating vegetables on the side, and this 'five-yuan dish' is very delicious in his opinion.
Then why do you say that this capital is not good, why do so many outsiders want to come here? Guo Xiaosong asked knowingly, mainly because he drank dryly, and it didn't mean anything if he didn't chat.
The battalion commander, Di Lei, poured half a jar of wine into his cup and sandwiched a peanut. 'You kid didn't drink too much,'
'Didn't you drink too much?' ’
"I didn't drink too much and talk nonsense to me, it's always an old melon seed, don't pretend to be fake to me, your little shit in City A, you beat me I don't know, I saw your mother when I visited my house last year! 'Battalion Commander Di Lei is a good officer who 'loves soldiers like sons', especially for the essence of each soldier, he wants to grasp first-hand information, if Guo Xiaosong's nature is not very pure. Even if he is Guo Kaishan's nephew, he will not 'promote' him upward.
"So you've seen my mother, why didn't my mother call me," Guo Xiaosong felt that the battalion commander Di Lei didn't seem to be lying.
'Your mother's life is hard, so boy, you have to do a good job in the army, you understand, your cultural foundation is so good, you don't want to pick the college entrance examination military school next year, you have development in the army, even if you repay your mother! 'Dilley's parents. They are all honest people in their duty, so the sons they teach are also pure and good in nature.
'Battalion commander. I thought about it, I don't want to take the military school next year, I plan to stay in the capital to do business and open a moving company! After speaking, Guo Xiaosong didn't respect anyone. He drank his own glass of wine.
'Not going to school?' Don't take the exam? What are you doing with me, causing me to work so hard to give you a place in the exam, I don't even know what you think. By the way, you don't have a girlfriend at Beijing University, just like you, what can she do with you in the future! Battalion Commander Di Lei wanted to educate Guo Xiaosong as a 'person who came over'.
"Who said that if you don't go to college, there will be no development, and besides, my partner also agrees that I will be demobilized and stay in the capital, and if I do the battalion commander, I won't be busy with your business, you are good to me, I know it in my heart!" Come, I'll give you a drink! Guo Xiaosong poured half a glass of wine into the cup for himself and the battalion commander Di Lei, and when he was about to fill it up for the battalion headquarters, the boy removed the cup.
'You don't take the military academy exam, does your third uncle know?' ’
'I told him at the New Year's meeting, our company commander and instructor have promised me to let me go home for the New Year, my grandmother is also older, I think I can watch my third uncle! ’
The battalion commander Di Lei patted his thigh and said, "Rely on me, rely on me for this matter, I should have let you be admitted this year, but I want to exercise and train you, let you be a squad leader first and then go, I know about this cadet team, a person who was a squad leader in the old army is also a squad leader or something when he arrives in the cadet team, okay, don't talk about it, what do you like, let's drink." ’
In a small snack bar, there are four or five tables, the table for three people to eat, close to the aisle, leading to the washing room, someone has been passing by here, just when someone passed by the battalion commander Di Lei's side, he subconsciously touched the briefcase hanging on the chair with his hand, and this casual action made Guo Xiaosong and the battalion commander Di Lei also find out.
The battalion commander Di Lei threw the briefcase to the side and looked at the middle-aged man passing by, "There is no money in this pocket, it is useless!" ’
The middle-aged man smiled, "What are you paying so much attention to if you don't have money, I just passed it inadvertently, I'm sorry brother!" With that, the man walked over the table and towards the bathroom.
A bottle of liquor almost made Guo Xiaosong and the battalion commander Di Lei dry, maybe because he drank it quickly, the battalion commander Di Lei felt that he was not happy, "Waiter, another bottle!" ’
Guo Xiaosong was afraid that he would make a mistake by drinking, so he hurriedly said, "We don't want it, battalion commander, it's almost over, let's go back to the group to drink, I have money in my pocket, I invite you!" ’
'You invite me?' Don't you think Lao Tzu doesn't have as much money as you,' the battalion commander Di Lei threw the only more than 100 yuan in his pocket on the table.
"Then let's have a bottle of 'Little Er', I'm almost drunk, I'll pay you for it!" Guo Xiaosong knew that the battalion commander had a fiery temper, so he didn't dare to dissuade him anymore.
It's like saying, if you don't drink soda, you should give each of you a bottle of soda!' ’
'No, I don't like soda!' ’
The middle-aged man who came out of the washroom once again passed by the battalion commander Di Lei, and this time he touched the briefcase on Di Lei's chair again.
'You're not done! The battalion commander, Dile, thought that the man was provoking him, and stood up.
When the middle-aged man was sitting in the battalion commander Di Lei, he couldn't tell whether he was tall or short, and when he saw Di Lei standing up, he was half a head shorter than himself, and he was at ease, "What's the matter, Lao Tzu just touched it, you bite me!" ’
The battalion commander Di Lei was a little too drunk, and he opened the 'wind button' on the collar of his neck with his hand, "You things, you just touch them back and forth!" ’
I didn't mean to, I was just curious, what was in here!' While the middle-aged man and Di Lei were talking, the guests at the table not far away all stood up one after another, and the people at this table were basically all middle-aged men, about seven or eight of them, judging from the tattoos on their bodies, they were not easy to mess with.
The battalion secretary pulled the placket of the battalion commander Di Lei and said, "I think let's go back, it's not early, and we have to send flags to the regiment when we go back!" ’
Seeing the six roads and listening to the eight directions, Di Lei's afterglow, how could he not see that there were many people on the other side, so he suppressed his tone, sat down, moved his chair for a while, and made way for the passage.
When the middle-aged man returned to the seat, it seemed that everyone was asking him why, and he deliberately replied loudly, "Don't think that if you wear a dog skin, you will become Yang Zirong, bullshit, just you little one, I will pinch it, and I will throw it in the trash can for you, and dare to make a mistake with me, that is, Lao Tzu is in a good mood today, otherwise I will have to kill you!" ’
The cool words in the Beijing accent were said sentence by sentence, which made the three people on Guo Xiaosong's table unable to continue drinking, so they could only pay hastily and leave.
On the way back, Guo Xiaosong carried the banner of the 'Iron and Blood Regiment', and every few steps, he would always wave it, and in normal times, he would not have the opportunity to carry the regimental flag, at best, he could only carry the banner of their seventh company.
Because it was still early, the battalion commander Di Lei was in a bad mood all the time, and he didn't get on the bus directly, the three of them walked on foot, and the battalion secretary said a few jokes he saw in the book from time to time to pass the time.
'Tell me, there are three birds in a tree, and the hunter shoots and kills one, how many birds are left?' ’
In order to cater to the camp clerks, Guo Xiaosong hurriedly said, "There is no one, as soon as I hear the gunshot, the other two will not be scared away!" ’
'Battalion commander, how many more do you say?' ’
The battalion commander, Di Lei, didn't even think about it, 'There are two more, three birds, one dead, and of course two.' ’
The battalion clerk ran back and forth and said, 'Neither of you is right, the answer is that there is one more. ’
"Don't talk nonsense, you hit that hunter with a sharpshooter, one shot and two eyes!" Guo Xiaosong had to let the battalion secretary explain it clearly.
I said, only one died, and the other one, seeing that his companion died, he went to the police, and now he is not allowed to hunt wild animals, he has to find the police to catch the hunters! ’
What about the other one? ’
That is an eyewitness, of course you have to wait for the police to come at the scene, so that you can be a witness!" ’
'Hahaha! Guo Xiaosong burst out laughing, and the battalion commander Di Lei also laughed forward and backwards, because the battalion secretary kept gesturing while speaking, and the vivid appearance was already quite amusing, and after revealing the mystery, it was even more laughable.
The table of guests in the snack bar, all of them are local villagers near the suburbs of Beijing, the changes of reform and opening up, so that these people have become nouveau riche, after having money, gangs up, become the local overlord, originally three soldiers in the snack bar soft, they have been cheap, but when Guo Xiaosong and they left, the middle-aged man who found fault couldn't think right, so he took his partners and drove the car to catch up.
'Stop me!' If you get on the bus, you can escape the pursuit of the comers, but the battalion commander Di Lei They did not get on the bus, and in a short time, they were found by the other party, the middle-aged man rolled open the window, pointed to the three of them and stopped, and then his car also overtook the front and intercepted.
