Chapter 129 Long New Year's Eve

Old Man Liu's New Year's Eve dinner was tasteless.

The youngest son is an excellent and famous college student. After graduation, he or she takes the civil service exam, enters other units, or does business by himself. In short, he and his wife look forward to a family of children and grandchildren in a few years, and then it will be time to enjoy a happy life.

As a result, the youngest son, who had always been obedient, caught him off guard. Old Man Liu had a big objection to his younger son's decision and was not even more angry because he was having the New Year's Eve dinner. The eldest and second brother came back for the New Year and the energy-saving trip all year round. Old Man Liu didn't want to discourage their interest, so he endured the New Year's Eve dinner, but he didn't realize what he felt.

After sitting for a while, watching the Spring Festival Gala for an hour, Old Man Liu found an excuse to come to the scenic area. When he walked to the gate, he vaguely heard the laughter and laughter coming from the direction of the barbecue field inside, and there were sudden cheers from time to time.

There were two people standing there smoking under the street light in front of the gate room, and the wind was blowing, but the two people did not shake their bodies and stomped their feet back and forth to drive away the cold, nor did they wear coats, and they stood there as relaxed as if they were fine.

"Uncle Liu." One of them said hello.

Old Man Liu wrapped his old-fashioned green military coat wrapped around him, walked a few steps, and said, "It's Cadre Zhao, Hello, are you having dinner?"

"I've eaten it. Mr. Liu, why don't you watch the Spring Festival Gala at home? It's a cold day." Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao said with a smile.

Li Shuai took out a cigarette and handed it over, "Uncle Liu smoked a Huazi."

Old Man Liu took it with both hands, his eyes lit up, "Ah China, what a cigarette!"

His son and daughter are promising, and it is absolutely fine to come to Huazi every day. However, he was from a poor family. Before his children worked, the family finances were very difficult, so they developed the habit of being frugal. They usually don’t smoke more than twenty yuan.

Li Shuai had just opened the whole package of Soft China that had smoked two pieces and handed it over, saying, "Mr. Liu, please take it and smoke it. I'll cough with this cigarette."

"No, no, this one can't do." Old Man Liu hurriedly refused.

Li Shuai put it into the hands of Old Man Liu and smiled, "It's okay, Mr. Liu, please run around during the New Year, so you can think of it."

"Okay, okay, then I'll take it. You can smoke my cigarette to see if you cough." Old Man Liu took out his century classic and took a picture and handed it over.

Li Shuai took it and said with a smile, "This cigarette is good. I often smoke this cigarette, so I don't cough if I smoke."

"Then you take the whole bag." said Old Man Liu.

Li Shuai quickly turned it off and said, "No, no, Mr. Liu, please keep it and smoke it. Mr. Liu, is there something wrong with you coming here? Just say anything if you have anything."

"It's nothing, I just want to find you some information." Old Man Liu said a little embarrassedly.

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao and Shuai looked at each other, smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, do you want to ask about the army? Just ask, our coached squad leader has been a soldier for eight years and is very familiar with the situation."

"Cadre Zhao, you are so amazing. How do you know that I am asking about the army?" Old Man Liu said in surprise.

Li Shuai said in his heart that we are soldiers. If you don’t watch the Spring Festival Gala, you have to ask something, what else can you do besides asking about the army?

"Please in the gatehouse, Mr. Liu, it's cold outside."

The three of them entered the gatehouse. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao made tea with the guest, poured three cups of disposable water cups on the coffee table, and asked Old Man Liu to sit down. There were some melon seeds and peanuts on the coffee table, but it seemed that they were not neglected to stand guard.

Old Man Liu pointed to Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao and Li Shuai's military ranks and asked strangely, "Cadre Zhao, Squad Leader Shuai, you are all leaders, are you holding a party? Why didn't you attend?"

In his opinion, the people who stand guard should be ordinary soldiers, and those big-headed soldiers, and no leading cadres stand guard. Not only Old Man Liu, but most ordinary people think so.

This is true if it is usually the case, but the division of labor in different positions is different. Of course, there are differences between cadres and soldiers who have positions and those who have no positions.

However, every New Year's Eve to the seventh day of the Chinese New Year, during this period, the troops are queuing from large to small, starting from the chief officer and all the non-commissioned officers. All conscripts do not need to stand guard and can celebrate the New Year well. Of course, if the number of cadres and backbones is not enough, they will be taken over by the top corps, and the most comfortable thing is the private.

The biggest officer in the training team of the reconnaissance instructors in the entire army was Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, and then the chief instructor Li Shuai. They naturally stood at the first shift at the most critical moment - the troops were in the bonfire party. At this time, it was of course the most reluctant thing to stand guard.

The second shift was scheduled for 23:15. Li Shuai and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao had time to participate in the New Year's Eve with the troops to welcome the first cold wind of the New Year.

After Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao explained, Old Man Liu understood that his understanding of the troops became deeper, and he felt that the troops were not as imaginary as he imagined. The cadres and backbones were so good to the soldiers, and life should be easier.

After hesitating for a moment, Old Man Liu said, "My youngest son is a college student from a prestigious university. He just finished his first semester of freshman year. He signed up for the army at school. This kid signed up without discussing with me."

He sighed and said, "In the past, there was a soldier in the town who wanted to join the army. The army selected him but he couldn't kill him. Later, he was fined and arrested. I knew that once I signed up, if I was taken away by the army, I must go there. My youngest son is good in all aspects and has good physical fitness. Will he be taken away by the army?"

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao understood, and pointed at Li Shuai and said, "There are many college students under the squad leader Shuai who have joined the army, and he knows the situation best."

Li Shuai said, "Which school is your youngest son?"

Old Man Liu said a name.

Li Shuai said, "If you pass the physical condition, you will be inseparable from joining the army. Your youngest son is an old prestigious university, and the army needs high-quality soldiers."

"Oh." Old Man Liu lost his last trace of luck.

Li Shuai smiled and said, "It's a good thing to join the army, why are you unhappy?"

"It was a good thing to be a soldier. If he couldn't get into the university last year, I would let him join the army. I'm not going to the university now? It's still a good school, so why are you going to join the army? Cadre Zhao, the squad leader, I'm not afraid to tell the truth. Joining the army is the way out for our rural children, especially those who can't get into the university. When I was young, it was very difficult to join the army. At that time, my family was not as good as others, and I couldn't become a soldier if I didn't have money to give gifts to the village chief, otherwise I would be a soldier. The situation is different from before. If I have a better future and then join the army, I think it's a waste of time. I have lived for most of my life and can see many things very clearly." Old Man Liu said while smoking, and he vomited one.

Li Shuai nodded slightly to express his understanding. This is the real idea of ​​the people. It is not practical to talk about spirit and dedication, and the most practical to be real.

He said, "Your youngest son has a lot of choices in his situation. I think it is the safest way to join the army. Not to mention the various policy preferential treatments after retirement, your youngest son has such a famous university student after he arrived in the army. As long as he is willing to work hard, he may be successful in the school entrance exam. After becoming a cadre, it does not mean that he has to work in the army until retirement. In fact, most people cannot retire. In the future, they will be transferred to the local area. With the current emphasis on veterans, it is no problem to place a good job. If you don't help him, he will be back and continue to go to school after two years of military service, and there are many benefits."

What he said was similar to what the fourth brother said. Old Man Liu believes that the fourth brother has not told lies. In general, no matter what, there is no harm. He then felt a little relieved. When the rice was already cooked, he could only learn more about the situation of the troops and rest assured that his wife was at ease.

After learning about Liu's youngest son, Li Shuai and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao were even more annoyed. They explained a lot of common sense to Old Man Liu in detail. The purpose of course was to hope that Old Man Liu's youngest son could join the army smoothly. Such a freshman in such a good school has great development prospects when he arrived in the army. Moreover, from Old Man Liu's introduction, Li Shuai and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao keenly discovered that Old Man Liu's youngest son was a young man with faith and spiritual pursuits. Such a soldier was too rare.

A new recruit company with 70 or 80 people, and a young man with faith and spiritual pursuits is better than a third of the younger ones, most of them come in for "two years of military experience".

Old Man Liu said, "Cadre Zhao, does your army want people?"

Looking at Old Man Liu's anticipated gaze, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao explained with a smile, "Mr. Liu, of course our army needs people, every year."

Old Man Liu hurriedly said, "Let's see if I want my youngest son to join your army."

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao shook his head and continued to explain, "Mr. Liu, this is not my final decision, nor is it any leader who has the final decision. The annual recruitment work is a game of chess in the whole country. We will need whatever is allocated to the top, and there is no room for bargaining. Of course, our army welcomes college students."

When he said this, Li Shuai couldn't help rubbing his nose. It was obvious that Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao was insincere. Haiter welcomed college students, but was a college student soldier who was fresh graduates, not a college student soldier who was a college student. If a new recruit who was a college student and a new recruit who was a high school graduate were allowed to choose Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, he would definitely choose the latter without hesitation.

The reason is very simple, the latter is better managed.

Just like the past rural soldiers and urban soldiers, most squad platoon leaders like rural soldiers.

After more than an hour of popularization, Old Man Liu had figured out the situation and chose to accept his youngest son's participation in the army. Especially when he knew that Li Shuai's subordinates not only had fresh college graduates and graduate students, but also had a female soldier who only became a soldier after graduating from a more powerful university, he suddenly felt that the army seemed to be a place where many people were rushing their heads and wanted to enter.

The army was like this, and Old Man Liu finally let go of his heart.

Hello everyone, our public account will find cash and red envelopes every day. You can get it by following it. The last benefit at the end of the year, please seize the opportunity. Official account [Book Friends Camp]

Old Man Liu learned about the situation at the gatehouse of the scenic area. Others at home were watching the Spring Festival Gala. Young people didn’t like to watch it, mainly accompanied the elderly. The third child looked down at his phone most of the time, as if he was chatting with someone, and his fingers were tapping quickly.

When a show arrived at **, the third brother got up and walked into the yard. He took the living room door and looked up. He saw a car parked on the road in front of the door. The driver came down and closed the door. The car did not turn off and lit a cigarette. The third brother was a little impatient. He was not good at mercy during the New Year and quickly walked over.

"What are you saying on WeChat? You have to say it in person, Ma Liu, during the Chinese New Year, you don't stay at home and spend the New Year and your mother running around?" The third brother said in a bad tone after seeing the man.

The man was a young man, from the same village. Because he was thin, everyone called him Mamao (monkey).

"Xiaoqin, I've seen you. I've been to Guangzhou several times in the past two months but I haven't seen you. Every time you either see a customer who is not free or is on a business trip outside. Did you deliberately hide from me? Hi, you can hide for a while in the same village for a lifetime! Tell me, how long has it been since we met? It's been a whole year since the class reunion last year." Ma Liu leaned against the car and pointed at the car when he said, "I've been to Guangzhou several times."

The car is good, Audi A6L, but it is just an old car twelve years ago. I bought an N-hand car from the second-hand car market in the first three months of the year. I spent more than 50,000 yuan to repair it and then spent more than 10,000 yuan to repair the car. I still borrowed the money everywhere to make up for it. The first thing I could do when I got on the road was to go to Guangzhou to find the goddess, and the funds were also borrowed. Finally, I bought the car, and it was still an Audi A6L. Of course, I had to show it in front of the goddess. Ma Liu began to fantasize that the goddess accepted his invitation after seeing his car, and then had a meal, drink and checked in the hotel...

As a result, it hit a wall several times.

Liu Xiaoqin didn't like this fellow villager and classmate who was proud of being a street student. She said impatiently, "I'm really a problem. Who like you has no serious things every day? You, hurry up and go back quickly. In the afternoon, your mother came to visit her and said that she was most worried about you. After the New Year, she just wanted to find a job and work hard, don't run around. Also, if you don't have a stable income, why do you buy a car? Is it necessary?"

After being scolded by Liu Xiaoqin, Ma Liu couldn't hold her face anymore. She walked a few steps forward and wanted to say something. She looked up but saw the Mercedes-Benz C200 in the yard. She was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Is the C200 the eldest or the second? The second? The second boyfriend's?"

Liu Xiaoqin rolled her eyes, "My, the boss's car is the business next to her. My second sister didn't buy a car. She has a commuter car to and from get off work."

"Xiaoqin, you can do it. You've been driving in Mercedes-Benz for a year!" Ma Liu was surprised. The old A6L behind him had nothing to show off.

Liu Xiaoqin was not a good person, so she pushed Ma Liu and said, "Okay, okay, it's just a car that has nothing to do with fuss. Go back quickly. Who is still wandering around outside on New Year's Eve? Don't you all reunite at home? Go and go back quickly!"

Ma Liu was shocked by the Mercedes-Benz C200. After he came to his senses, Liu Xiaoqin had already closed the iron door. Ma Liu had no choice but to return to the car and smelled the various odors that appeared in the old A6L car due to the long time, and he suddenly felt nothing.
