Volume 3 Wild Dogs Volume 3 Chapter 5 Veterans (II)
After a while, the three of them were sitting at the table of the food stall. Chu Bing looked left and right, it was half past ten in the evening, but there were really a lot of people. The three of them exchanged their names just now, and Chu Bing looked at Ma Zhiguo and said:
"Brother Ma, there are really a lot of people! I don't see a residential area nearby, and this is not a commercial area, why is the business so prosperous?"
Ma Zhiguo handed the menu in his hand to the waiter, and then said with a smile:
"This food stall is also well-known in the entire provincial capital. These people came from other places to eat supper at this restaurant. At around 12 o'clock in the evening, there will be fresh goods from the slaughterhouse. There are also seafood sent by the fishing boats that return late, which are very fresh, and there are many people who come to eat at that time!"
The dish was served quickly, and Tian Menjiang and Ma Zhiguo asked for beer by the way, and they had a good time clinking glasses. Chu Bing sandwiched a grilled scallop, it tasted really good, no wonder there were so many people.
"Brother, I remember that after Unit 6357 was disbanded, the personnel basically went to the military and special departments of the state. It can be said that all the personnel of the original 6357 unit have been promoted, including my colleague. He used to be a division chief of the 6357 logistics unit, and after changing jobs, he directly became a middle-level cadre of the provincial police department, and now I heard that he is already a high-level of the provincial department. I think you're like this, brother, you should have been on the front line, why did you become a doorman here?" Tian Menjiang asked suspiciously.
Ma Zhiguo took a sip of a full glass of beer, ate a bite of fried sea sausage with leeks, and said slowly:
"The number of Unit 6357 is not large, and the total number of troops is less than three hundred. The entire 6357 unit was divided into nine special service teams, which were stationed in different border areas of Donghua. Due to the different locations, the different special service teams are not too familiar with each other. As for the experience, it was very different. Some special service squads had no personnel losses until the 6357 number was revoked. And my special service team suffered heavy casualties in a mission more than a decade ago, and in the end, I was the only one who survived. ”
Ma Zhiguo poured another glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, looked at the wine glass in his hand and said:
"My brothers, they all died in that battle. I, the one who survived, became a cripple. Since I am crippled and can no longer perform my duties, I should not cause trouble to the country. ”
"Unit 6357 was revoked in the year of our squad's accident. This doorman was requested by myself at that time. Don't think this position is too good, let me tell you, I'm paid more than many front-line workers! I'm much better off than my dead brothers!"
Chu Bing and Tian Menjiang could hear that this was Ma Zhiguo's sincere words. He really thinks it's good that he's like this. But Chu Bing and Tian Menjiang always felt very panicked and a little uncomfortable. Think about it, it should be because of Ma Zhiguo's loneliness. Perhaps in his heart, going to Huangquan with his brothers is the best ending.
The three of them talked a lot and ate a lot. Ma Zhiguo was happy in his heart, he hadn't had such a good chat with people for many years! This Tianmen River, at first glance, was not a person from the city government. However, this guy has been a police officer for many years and has experienced a lot of dangers, so he has a common language with himself.
As for Chu Bing, Ma Zhiguo was a little hesitant. According to the two of them, Chu Bing is a detective. But Chu Bing has a temperament like his comrades-in-arms back then. However, this Chu soldier, according to them, has never been a soldier.
If you can't figure it out, you don't want to, just join the fate! The three of them ate until they got fresh food and seafood, and everyone was very struggling. Seeing that it was half past one in the morning, and saying that there would be time to get together again, Ma Zhiguo pushed the little electric donkey to his house.
Tian Menjiang asked him why he didn't ride, and he said that he couldn't ride after drinking. Tian Menjiang smiled and said that it was a big night, and he couldn't find someone to bump into. Besides, at the speed of the little electric donkey, it's okay to bump into someone.
Ma Zhiguo still shook his head, and said seriously, rules are rules, and since they have been established, they naturally have their reasons. Everyone in this world has a responsibility to abide by it. Waving his hand at the two, Ma Zhiguo pushed the head of the little electric donkey and walked away without looking back.
The two watched as he slowly walked away. Although he walked unevenly because of his disability, every step he took was so firm and neat!
A sentence came to Chu Bing's heart: veterans do not die, but wither.
At noon, Chu Bing wasted a lot of effort to drag Tian Menjiang, a hangover, up! While eating at the restaurant, Tian Menjiang had two black bags under his eyes and shouted a headache while drinking noodle soup. Chu Bing also had a headache, this kid left Juanzi's control and went directly to herd the sheep! With his current virtue, he can be abolished in a few months!
"Lao Chu, why did you call me so early? Today and Sunday, I don't have to go to class, will it be okay for me to sleep more!" Tian Menjiang slowly picked up the bowl and drank the noodle soup slowly, as if pressing it slowly. I can't help it, I have a splitting headache, and my brain hurts like a pinprick if I move a little faster.
"Have you forgotten to meet the buyer of Xinglin Chunyan Bowl today?"
"Dizzy! Why didn't you call me earlier? When did this happen, didn't you say that it was nine o'clock in the morning! That buyer seems to be the leader of some calligraphy and painting association, what if he doesn't want to deal with us anymore!"
"You still have the face to say! Do you think I didn't call you in the morning? I called you several times and you didn't respond, can you blame me?" Seeing Tian Menjiang covering his head and worrying there, Chu Bing stopped teasing him, and said with a smile:
"Okay, Liu Lao called you this morning, and I answered it. At first, he was very angry, but in the end, the two of us chatted and talked about my yard and how to go on an expedition. I didn't expect Liu Lao to know He Lao, and we chatted happily after that, and changed the time to two o'clock in the afternoon. Remember in the future, drink less alcohol, it's easy to make mistakes!"
Tianmen Jiang gave Chu Bing a thumbs up, and then his head didn't hurt anymore, and he began to eat noodles in a big gulp.
At 1:40 p.m., the motorcycle stopped outside the Greens Residences. Looking at the continuous villas in the residential area, Tian Menjiang said:
"I'm a good girl! This is the most expensive community in the entire provincial government. I heard that one square meter costs nearly 100,000 yuan, which is higher than my annual income! That Liu Lao lives here, he must be a rich man, is he so rich in painting and writing now? I knew that I practiced calligraphy more with Zuo Xiucai in the village, and maybe I could live there in a few fields!"
Chu Bing was not too rare to correct his wrong pronunciation, but just glanced at him and said:
"Didn't you already know that Liu Lao lived here? ”
"Is hearing the same as seeing and seeing? Hearing that there is a woman is very beautiful, and seeing a woman is very beautiful can be a feeling?" Tian Menjiang said disdainfully.
Chu Bing didn't talk to him either, registered with the doorman, and rode into the community on a motorcycle.
