Chapter 264: Veteran
At night in the imperial capital, it is still full of the breath of life, and the cars are stretching like a long queue on the ring road among the high-rise buildings. In the midst of the glitz and glamour, people live their own different lives.
Dang Weimin changed into a Honda Accord sedan, and also galloped on the endless Fourth Ring Road, with the boy sitting next to him. Nika and Tang Yumin sat in the back seat, and their eyes touched from time to time, and then they got out of the way.
Could it be that there is really a saying in this world about restraint? Dang Weimin saw the sparks in the eyes of his two adopted daughters in the rearview mirror, and felt incredible. These two men had never been seen before, one from India and the other from Afghanistan, thousands of miles apart. For Mao to pinch together as soon as they met?
Coming over to look at the boy, the little guy was lying on the car window, looking curiously at the brightly lit skyscrapers outside the window, and from time to time there was a "wow" sound. When Tang Yuqiang was in Afghanistan, he could only see layers of mountains, and all he saw were adobe houses built with mud. When did you see the modern city of Dacheng? I've been fascinated by this charming city for a long time.
"Sister, this place is so beautiful. Am I going to live here in the future? The boy asked Nika that the two of them were on much better terms. Nika likes this honest kid a lot, and thinks that his nasty sister is not a parent with him.
The girl smiled, pointed her finger outside and said, "Yes, in the future, you will go to elementary school here, then junior high school, and then university." ”
"Well, I'll definitely stay here." Tang Yuqiang looked at the scenery outside the car intently, and after driving on the viaduct, he kept exclaiming: "Look, there are still people living under the viaduct." ”
Listened to this. Dang Weimin took a side look, and under the viaduct was the suburban bungalow area of the imperial capital. It's also a slum. Many people who work in the imperial capital rent houses here, and the rents in the Third Ring Road are so high that ordinary people can't afford to live in them.
It was early summer, and the roofs of the bungalows below were full of cool people, who played mahjong or ate and drank by the street lamps above. Dang Weimin worked in the imperial capital during the summer vacation in the early years, and also lived in this area, although the time was short, but he was very familiar with this scene.
Bungalows under the bridge. On the roof of one of the houses, a small wooden table was erected, and three middle-aged men sat on a small bench drinking beer. One of these men had a crutch beside him, and the other was black-faced, shirtless, and smoking a cigarette; The third place is the best, the beer belly. Bald, like an agency cadre.
"Sixty-one, Ah Jin, I toast you two with a glass of wine." The bald middle-aged man lifted a glass of beer and drank it down.
"Thank you, old company commander." Wu Liuyi and Shi Jin also raised their wine glasses. Drink it.
The evening breeze blew, and the three of them drank wine and ate some cold dishes they bought, and the wine slowly came up, and they gradually recalled the scene of the year.
"Company Commander Zheng, I'm now. I've been thinking about my days in the army. Wu Liuyi picked up a cigarette and lit it. took a few puffs fiercely, "Our Tie Qi Company and the Red Second Company competed for an excellent company, you led everyone to train the soldiers, tired everyone and lost a few pounds, and finally got three coherence." ”
Zheng Dahai laughed, "Remember, remember." Ah Jin had a bad stomach at the time, but when he was in the group cross-country, he couldn't get off the line of fire, and finally ran to the finish line, just pulled a pair of pants. ”
The three of them remembered the embarrassment of the year, and they were full of smiles.
Zheng Dahai took a break and said, "Don't call you two company commanders now, my Tmd has long since retired, call Brother Zheng, or Dahai, whatever." ”
"Brother Zheng!" "Brother Dahai!"
"Well, okay, I listen to it" Zheng Dahai poured another glass of beer, his eyes were clouded, "I'm sorry brothers, it was me who was incompetent at the time." ”
"Brother, don't mention it, is this going to happen?" Wu Liuyi's face also darkened, and he subconsciously touched the crutch.
After speaking, Zheng Dahai burst into tears, "Don't interrupt me, I didn't do anything, if you are a little more resolute when you first mention the deputy battalion commander, you can push the Tie Qi Company down and leave you behind." As a result, Liuyi was lame, and Ah Jin was discharged from the army directly. ”
After finishing speaking, Zheng Dahai grabbed his head with his hand and cried, "Now I think about it, I'm a fart, some people above are simply bloodsuckers, and they know money, money, money." As a result, the Iron Seventh Company withdrew, and after the brothers dispersed, I also retired from the army. ”
Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi remained silent, smoking cigarettes, only to see the red light of the cigarette butts flashing back and forth. These things are an eternal pain in their hearts, the glory and glory of the Iron Seventh Company, the sky will be blue, the brothers in the company are heart-to-heart, and everyone is in one place.
The old company, that evaluation was indispensable for them to win the championship, what kind of competition pacesetter, collective combat, and interspersed behind enemy lines in the class were all pieces of cake.
Zheng Dahai clearly remembered that after the teacher was relegated to the second line and transferred to the military sub-district for retirement, the new division commander was a young Zhuang officer who had studied in Europe and the United States. Compared with the former head of the college culture, he with a doctorate degree can't look down on the old way at all.
"Win the war with new technology!" , Zheng Dahai, who had already mentioned this slogan as the battalion commander at the beginning, also supported it, but later, all those broken things were considered gods? It is claimed to be new technology and new equipment, not to mention how bad those new equipment are. Usually everyone uses models instead, because they are afraid of breaking the equipment. Then the top came to inspect and get a few top hits out for the leader to pose.
The new division commander has engaged in some "new thinking" and "new thinking," claiming to be fighting a "high-tech" war in the new era. Zheng Dahai felt more and more that it was not a taste, and no one objected to your whole high-tech, but the old traditions that proved to be excellent were all eliminated indiscriminately according to the "old ideas", what is that called?
What new standards will be done next, Shi Jin and Wu Liuyi directly cut off the possibility of entering the military academy because of their low academic qualifications. When Wu Liuyi was fighting for the special brigade of the military district, he accidentally fell and lame a leg, and finally retired from the army.
Zheng Dahai took another half glass of wine, and pointed at Wu Liuyi, who was eating with his head bored, with chopsticks: "Liuyi, your kid is a stubborn donkey, at that time, I begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother, and I found you a non-commissioned officer in the army canteen." You refuse outright, and then leave the unit without looking back. What's in your head? Bean curd? ”
Accompanied by a cigarette, Wu Liuyi replied with a wry smile: "Brother Zheng." It's not that I don't give you face. But can I stay, have you ever seen a one-legged infantryman? ”
Looking at the crutches put aside, Zheng Dahai raised his head and sighed, "You have been in the army for so many years, can you still adapt to ordinary life?" Shi Jin, if you don't do it with the police at the police station, you have to work against the local real estate tycoon, how about it. Fired from public office to work as a parking lot security guard in the imperial capital, do you feel at ease? ”
And Shi Jin, who had a black face, just smiled and didn't answer directly, he was assigned to the police station as a contract police officer back then. His strong sense of justice made him have to find justice for the victim in a case, and as a result, he was persecuted and lost his job. had to run to the imperial capital to find some work, and at the same time in order to avoid the local underworld forces.
Sighing, Zheng Dahai felt that he was also quite a failure. How difficult it is to transfer to the rank of deputy regiment. Don't look at commanding more than a thousand people in the troops, but when looking for a job in a place, who recognizes you as a regiment commander or a battalion commander?
spent a lot of money, and asked the old comrades-in-arms who had changed jobs before, so that he became the chairman of the trade union in the county political and legal committee of his hometown. At first, there was a huge psychological gap, and I was quite dissatisfied. But once when I went to the provincial capital, I saw another comrade-in-arms who was the head of the regiment, and after changing jobs, he stood guard on the road as a traffic policeman.
Looking at the comrade-in-arms who was sweating and commanding street vehicles, Zheng Dahai felt that he seemed to be doing well?
In the remaining three or four years, Zheng Dahai is about to become a standard organ cadre. 9 to 5 at work, drinking after work. It's okay to lead my son to fish on Saturdays and Sundays for fun, but it's also leisurely.
This time, I followed the county team to the imperial capital, planning to exercise and continue to wear the hat of the poor county in my hometown. Only when it is rated as a national-level poverty-stricken county will it receive a large amount of financial support, and what tax incentives will it be. Can the government building in the county seat be built without these funds?
When I arrived in the imperial capital, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Office Reform Commission ran away, and I knew more truly that it was still an official cow at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Don't look at what kind of mayor or director you are, the clerks of the central ministries and commissions don't take you seriously, and they take extra care of a chair to sit on. As for Head Zheng, the chairman of the trade union of the county political and legal committee, he is not even a p.
Lao Zheng has been preparing to fight for half his life, and he is also a strong person, and he is a local villager and a local snake. When he arrived in the imperial capital, he felt that his face was completely trampled on the ground, so he simply dumped the county leadership application group and found a few old subordinates who liked it back then to drink.
"It's better to be in the army." Wu Liuyi was a little drunk, and stammered: "Brother Zheng, I really want to live in the army and train every day." I'm not afraid of your jokes, I was looking forward to fighting that country every day, and I should be a hero or something. ”
"Who wouldn't? In the army, as a professional soldier, I originally thought that I would work in the army for the rest of my life. Shi Jin was also a little drunk, and his tongue was three times bigger, "My family now says every day, 'Your temper was so bad yesterday, it's better for you to stay in the army', hehe." ”
The three of them stood on the other side of the roof very gracelessly, collectively releasing water into the dry grass below, and howling in their mouths: "I am a soldier, from the common people, the revolutionary army ............." ”
was singing energetically, and someone scolded below, "Who is crying and mourning?" Urine bubble burst, right? Peeing on the ground? ”
The three of them laughed, shook off the water, and went downstairs to the house. Zheng Dahai yelled that he would not go back to the hotel to live, and had to chat with the two old subordinates at night. According to his words, when he goes to the court during the day to cry and pull the poor, there is not much more than one person, and one less person is not less.
Shi Jin also called his mother-in-law, saying that he would not go back at night, anyway, the parking lot would not start until 1o'clock, and there was no need to rush early. I also instructed my mother-in-law to take care of the children's studies, and as usual, I said that I didn't study well and showed the car to others like my father sooner or later.
Entering the house, Zheng Dahai's house is indeed broken, but the imaginary mess does not exist. There was an iron frame bed by the window, and the quilt was neatly folded to maintain the shape of the army's tofu blocks. In the middle are the dumbbells and tension machines for exercising, and the folding table is next to the cupboard. The cabinets, though old, are still polished and spotless. The most valuable thing is the 21-inch Changhong TV on an old bookcase,There is no money line,Look at the line is connected to a satellite dish pot。
"Okay, you kid, you're a clean man, and you don't have the habit of throwing away troops." Zheng Dahai sighed in his mouth that after he retired from the army, the good habits of the original army were gone, and it was rare that this old subordinate still continued to maintain the military style.
"This watch is quite exquisite, let me take a look." He saw a cardboard box in the bookcase, and there was a watch in it, "Well, the commemorative version of the Rolex watch, it's still a 95-year limited edition, it's true, this watch is worth at least 7o-8o yuan." ”
ps: I just saw the editor's recommendation, and I'm ashamed to say that whenever these hard-working editors recommend my book, I stop changing. soRRy, really. I would also like to thank all of you who have been collecting my books.
