Chapter 186: Holiday
On May 30, the sky was clear.
Not long after the bright sun rose, the loud trumpet sounded. The troops drawn from various brigades to participate in the parade began to assemble and undergo final training.
In this military parade, Xiang Ningxuan transferred 100 people from each of the eight brigades in Hongye District, and the troops in Jiangcheng District only transferred 500 people from the 100-person phalanx due to the short training time, and finally the elite regiment also drew a 100-man phalanx. In addition, the First Brigade of Female Soldiers and the Fourth Brigade of Engineers formed by Zhang Huizi also dispatched two 100-person phalanxes.
The number of troops participating in the parade amounted to 1,600 people. In addition, there are 2,000 militia units to maintain order.
On this day, Xiang Ningxuan ordered all industrial and mining farms to have a day off. Some luxury goods that are usually regulated, such as alcohol, cigarettes, chocolates, etc., will also be distributed in large quantities. There are plenty of other items available for exchange.
Moreover, there is even more exciting news, after the parade, these soldiers participating in the parade will go directly to a large-scale on-site blind date.
The end of the world has made many married people become single dogs overnight. Now, more than 20 days have passed, and the initial grief has been diluted by the stressful life.
Compared with the pre-apocalyptic period, people's living standards have been greatly reduced, the work intensity has directly doubled, and although the security situation has improved, it is still far worse than before the apocalypse.
People are very adaptable, and in such an environment, no matter how arrogant you used to be, life will smooth out your edges and corners. Finding someone you can rely on is more real than love.
A woman with a good posture and no discipline has long taken the initiative to kneel and lick all kinds of powerful men.
And those who are a little disciplined hope to find a partner who can support each other.
In the last days, the status and treatment of soldiers are undoubtedly the highest, and they can also give people a sense of security. The soldiers who can participate in the parade will not be bad in terms of strength or appearance, and they are definitely the first choice of most women.
Therefore, early in the morning, there was a long queue at the blind date registration point, and the people who had signed up were busy dressing up.
And those who have already found a partner will definitely come out to shop on such a rare holiday.
For the first time, the neighborhood of Momiji Ward is as bustling as it was before the apocalypse.
Gao Siqi and Wang Xi changed into short skirts, stockings, and high heels, and walked and chatted on the street hand in hand. Xiang Ningxuan wanted to attend the military parade, and for the time being, there was nothing to do with the two secretaries, so he gave them half a day off. As for Yu Huiying, the life secretary, she has to follow the boss throughout the whole process, take care of his clothes and hairstyle at any time, and can't make any mistakes.
The two of them each held a cup of milk tea brewed with creamer and drank it with relish. After the apocalypse, the supply of milk is interrupted, and it would be nice to have a cup of milk tea brewed with creamer, where could you ask for more?
At present, the material department has not only food, oil and other scarce materials, but also clothing, accessories and other surplus materials, and mobile phones and televisions that cannot be used at all.
Naturally, the scarce materials must be strictly managed. But what about things like clothing accessories?
At present, the population is only 10% of what it used to be, but there is no shortage of clothes. Not only does it occupy space, but it also has to be maintained, and it's a pity to throw it away. Moreover, for the foreseeable future, the Council will not arrange the production of clothing, and people will only wear the current inventory.
And the high-end clothing among them, which cannot be worn at work, is better to take out it as a welfare to people than to put it in the warehouse to become moldy.
Of course, when it comes to welfare, you still need to redeem it with a point coupon.
The old currency is no longer in use, and the area under Xiang Ningxuan's jurisdiction uses point coupons as a temporary currency. According to the usual work performance, the workplace will issue a certain number of point coupons to everyone. Point coupons can be exchanged for things outside of the basic supply system.
Taking advantage of this holiday, the material department was eager to come to a clearance sale, and pulled out a large number of materials that are not usually used and placed them in the mall for people to exchange.
As Xiang Ningxuan's secretary, Gao Siqi and Wang Xi are both senior white-collar workers, and they naturally have a lot of point coupons in hand. They shopped around with great interest.
In the past, the high-end clothes that they couldn't afford to buy without eating or drinking for a month have depreciated significantly, and now they have each picked three sets, and they haven't used up half of the point coupons in their hands.
Wang Xi is the secretary of affairs and has a good understanding of various materials, so she proposed: "Let's buy some snacks with a short shelf life!" Buy now at an absolutely discounted price. After a while, you won't be able to eat. ”
Snacks are not necessities of life, and some of them have a shelf life of only half a year and are wasted if they are not eaten, and this time they are also on sale at a reduced price.
At this time, someone shouted in surprise: "Siqi, it's you!" ”
The girls who came were all people who had survived the most difficult years with Gao Siqi in a survivor's stronghold. They have faced hideous and terrifying zombies together, and they have also shared the last bit of food, which can be regarded as friends of life and death.
A girl hugged Gao Siqi directly and cried, and while crying, she stretched out her hand that was a little red and swollen and said, "Sister Siqi, you see that my hands are like this, it hurts!" Sister Siqi loves me the most, can you let me change jobs? ”
Gao Siqi turned his head to look, and everyone else looked eager, and some people echoed: "Siqi, I heard that you have become the secretary of the big boss!" When you are developed, you will not forget our sisters! ”
Gao Siqi's head was suddenly as big as a fight, how could she be a secretary during the internship period to change jobs. Even if she can do it, she will change jobs for this, so what if other people come to her and beg her? She hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I'm just a powerless little secretary, how can I be considered developed!" ”
"Sister Siqi, what's so difficult about you blowing the pillow wind on the big boss and changing us jobs?" The girl who spoke also glanced at the big bag of things that Gao Siqi was carrying, intentionally or unintentionally.
"......" Even the wind on the pillow came out, what can Gao Siqi say? Explain to these sisters that they never slept with their boss at all? This kind of thing, the explanation is useless, it will only get darker and darker.
There have been rumors circulating in the outside world about Xiang Ningxuan's various versions of the restricted level. No matter how well Xiang Ningxuan does it, people's living standards are still far worse than before the end, which is easy to breed complaints. Generally speaking, it is difficult to spread bad words about Xiang Ningxuan, only these meat jokes that the people like to see are more popular.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has found out that most of these rumors came from some relatives and friends of Xiang Ningxuan. The reason is that Xiang Ningxuan did not reuse them after he developed.
If you compare them horizontally, many of them still have very good positions. But people's hearts are always insatiable, some people have little ability, but they want to get a high position by virtue of their relationship, and when Xiang Ningxuan can't satisfy them, all kinds of dissatisfaction breeds.
Gao Siqi didn't expect that she would encounter a similar thing one day, which immediately made her at a loss.
At this time, majestic music sounded outside, and the parade was about to begin. Gao Siqi hurriedly excused himself to get rid of these former sisters under the pretext that he had something to do.
"From now on, in their eyes, I'm afraid I'll be a heartless woman!" Gao Siqi laughed to himself.
Wang Xi comforted: "On the way forward, we will always lose some friends who can't keep up. Besides, don't you meet new friends too? ”
