Chapter 32: Fifteen catties of rice
After eating a few chocolates, Shen Chen instructed Zhao Xiaoqian a few words, and then walked towards the registration office at the gate with Li Jun.
Walking through the tent set up like a labyrinth, the two came to the registration desk at the gate. It can be seen that there are not many people coming to the refuge camp at the gate today, and even the people holding signs on the side are much less.
When the two of them came to the registration office, they saw that the officer who was originally sitting there for registration had been replaced, which made Shen Chen dumbfounded, and when he left yesterday, he forgot to ask what the person's name was, what should I do.
Just as Shen Chen was standing in place at a loss, a familiar voice came from his ears.
"Shen Chen?"
Shen Chen looked for prestige, and saw Li Chuan, who was wearing a military uniform, standing not far away, waving to him.
Shen Chen was overjoyed to see him, and hurriedly took Li Jun over.
When Shen Chen got closer, he found that the rank on Li Chuan's shoulder had an extra star at this time, and he had become a second-class soldier and a second lieutenant officer.
"Congratulations, Chief Li, this is a high promotion!" Shen Chen congratulated him.
Li Chuan waved his hand at him, but his face bloomed with a smile, "It's all thanks to you, by the way, what is the matter with you coming today?" ”
Hearing Li Chuan say that his promotion had something to do with him, Shen Chen didn't understand the truth for a while, and seeing that he took the initiative to ask about his purpose, Shen Chen took the opportunity to say it.
"That's right, I came today to find the chief who registered here yesterday, and I want to exchange something with him, but I forgot to ask the chief yesterday what his name was."
"Are you looking for Chief Qin? He is also promoted now," Li Chuan pointed to the office building behind him, "He was transferred to the office building, and now he is in charge of the management of refugees in the camp, I'll take you there!" ”
"Thank you!"
Following Li Chuan, Shen Chen entered the office building, led by him, to an office door, and knocked on the door.
"Please come in!" Voices came from inside.
Li Chuan motioned for Shen Chen to wait outside the door, opened the door and walked in first, and gave a military salute to Qin Hao, who was sitting in the office chair.
"Report, there's someone out there looking for you!"
Seeing that it was Li Chuan, Qin Hao relaxed, took out the cigarette he had just lit behind the table, and took a puff.
"Oh! What people! Let them in! ”
Hearing his order, Li Chuan brought Shen Chen and the two people outside the door in, and when he saw that it was Shen Chen, a fat face was suddenly full of smiles, and he got up and walked to Shen Chen, holding his hand.
The reason why he is so enthusiastic is entirely because of the two packs of China that Shen Chen gave him yesterday, he took out a pack and a half of filial piety to Shangguan, but he didn't expect that he would be promoted two levels in a row the next day, and he was directly promoted from lieutenant to major, and he was given such a good errand, so that he no longer had to be outside in the sun.
"Comrade Shen Chen, you are here, sit! Li Chuan went to pour two cups of tea! He shook his hand, turned his head and instructed Li Chuan on the side, Li Chuan said yes and walked out and closed the door.
"You're so kind!" Shen Chen was really taken aback by his enthusiasm.
"This little brother is also familiar, isn't he?" Let go of Shen Chen's hand, hold Li Jun's hand, and look at him with some doubts.
Shen Chen explained on the side,
"His name is Li Jun! It's my friend, and it was you who told him where I lived yesterday that made us meet. ”
"Oooh... I remember, it's that little brother! ”
"Hello Chief Qin!" Li Jun said.
Qin Hao smiled at him, then asked the two of them to sit down, walked to the office chair and sat down, looked at Shen Chen and asked.
"Comrade Shen Chen is here this time, is there anything wrong? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help, after all, brother, I can sit here, and you have the greatest credit. ”
Hearing such words twice in a row, Shen Chen was stupid and understood the meaning of these words, these two people probably used the cigarettes they gave to rise.
"Brother Qin, you're welcome, this time the little brother came to exchange for some rice." Shen Chen intends to pull in the relationship between the two.
Sure enough, hearing Shen Chen's title, Qin Hao was not only not unhappy, but smiled even happier.
Hearing Shen Chen's purpose, Qin Hao said with a smile: "Brother Shen, if you came yesterday, I'm afraid I won't have the ability to help you, brother, but today is different, with your current position, it is more than enough to get some rice." ”
He changed his mind.
"But what do you want to exchange it for, brother?"
Shen Chen took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms and walked over to put them on his table.
"Brother, do you think this is okay?"
Seeing the cigarette, Qin Hao snatched it over, probably realizing that his actions were a little inappropriate, coughed twice, picked up the cigarette and looked at it, and saw that it was a pack of Huangshan, although he was a little disappointed, the smile on his face did not decrease but increased.
"Yes! Dude, you brought in a lot of cigarettes! Qin Hao sighed a little, seeing that Shen Chen was a little nervous, "Brother, don't worry, there are rules in the camp, as long as it is something that you bring in, it belongs to a person, and no one is allowed to snatch it, otherwise you will be shot." ”
Hearing his words, Shen Chen's nervous heart finally relaxed, and he was afraid that the person in front of him would harden.
"Presumably you already know the price ratio in the camp, it stands to reason that the value of this pack of cigarettes is about eighteen catties of rice, but brother, I also need to pay a little, so let's give you fifteen catties directly, what do you think?"
Shen Chen estimated in his heart, although the price given by this Qin fat man was not high, it was reasonable.
"Deal!" Shen Chen stretched out his hand.
Seeing that he agreed, Qin Hao smiled and stretched out his somewhat fat palm and shook Shen Chen's hand, indicating that the transaction was successful.
"Later, I will arrange someone to send the rice directly to your camp, I think you have already experienced the chaos in the camp, I am afraid that you will be robbed before you reach the camp with the rice."
Qin Hao put away his cigarette and said.
"Okay, then there's Brother Lao." Shen Chen also knew that he was too ostentatious to bring rice, so he didn't refuse his kindness.
"Well said!"
When the transaction between the two was completed, Li Chuan came in with twice the tea.
"Come, take a sip of tea! I'll arrange for you to go. ”
Beckoning the two of them to tea, Qin Hao took Li Chuan out, thinking that it was to arrange rice for Shen Chen.
Shen Chen and Li Jun sat on chairs, drinking tea and chatting, and after a while, Qin Hao walked in with a big belly.
"Brother Shen, Brother Shen has already arranged it, and the rice will be delivered to your place in a while."
Shen Chen stood up, "Then hard brother!" It's getting late, so we'll go back first. ”
"It's not early, you go back first! It is estimated that when you get home, the person I arranged will also arrive, pay attention to safety on the road! And the old brother still said that if you have a cigarette, you can change things with the old brother at any time. ”
After thanking Qin Hao repeatedly, Shen Chen hurriedly rushed back with Li Jun, and Shen Chen obviously felt a lot more deserted on the way, most of them got into the tents, and only a few people wandered outside.
On the road, Shen Chen, two big men, was not harassed by others.
Not long after, the two returned to the camp and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw the lights on in the tent, after all, they were a little uneasy to let the two girls stay.
