Chapter 4: Comradeship
Walking all the way to the innermost row of small courtyards, Zhao Zongqing’s house is in the corner, with three main rooms and two east rooms, and a small courtyard of about 200 square meters.
It’s not that his official position is the smallest, but because he was transferred last. You can’t let others move out to change your position, right?
"Daughter-in-law, we have a guest, let's see if you still recognize this brat!" Zhao Zongqing shouted as soon as he entered the yard.
"Who is it, do I know him? You are...I remembered, you are the company commander Xiao, right?" A tall young woman came out, stared at Xiao Yuan twice, and really recognized him.

"Hello, sister-in-law, we haven't seen each other for six or seven years. You have a good memory. You are worthy of being a detective and a professional!" Xiao Yuan saluted and said with a smile.
"Where, how could I forget you when you look so good! If you were as honest as old Zhao, I would probably forget about it just by turning my head!" Xu Jing laughed loudly. Northeastern girls are really good-natured and dare to say anything.
"Daughter-in-law, please save some face. It's useless for a grown man to be so good-looking. You see, this guy is still a bachelor. I'm not an honest man with a wife and children on the bed?" Zhao Zongqing couldn't help but counterattack, what does it mean to be honest?<
/p>
"What's the matter, Captain Xiao has changed his job? Don't worry, the matter of the partner has been taken care of by my sister-in-law. There are several beautiful girls in our branch!" Xu Jing waved her hand to shut up the man. She had to care about her little brother's marriage.

Xiao Yuan had no choice but to report to his sister-in-law about his work situation in the past few years, as well as the situation of job transfer and placement.
"Good guy, the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant is a large unit. There is an air defense battalion inside. Why don't you go to the Armed Forces Department, or be the security section chief, and then become the purchasing section, or the deputy section chief." Xu Jing is the east branch of this city.
Yes, I must be familiar with this large unit.
"Sister-in-law, I have been in the army for thirteen years, and I only returned to my hometown once in the year of liberation. It has been exactly ten years, and I have always communicated by letters. Although my parents are gone, my grandma and uncle are still here after all.
If I were still in the army or in the security department, I would have to do the same duties. Most importantly, I didn’t expect my body to recover so well!" Xiao Yuan could only explain this way.
"That's right. You're not young anymore. It's time to consider family issues. As long as your health is good, you can contribute in any position. Besides, you are also a professional counterpart. You are from the logistics department." Xu Jing also understood his choice.
.
"Really, I have been working in logistics since I was a soldier, from transport platoon leader to guard company commander, and then to the special service company, and finally followed the leader as a guard staff officer." Xiao Yuan smiled, he really came from the logistics department.
Hero.
"How did you find us?" Xu Jing asked curiously.
"Chief Yi told me. He said that when I arrived at the Red Star Factory, he was worried that no one would take care of me, so he told me your workplace and address. By the way, sister-in-law, I came to have a meal and brought you something." Xiao
Yuan explained and carried the sack over.
First, I took out two things wrapped in large kraft paper. Once I opened them, I found two large fish weighing more than ten kilograms, a large carp and a large grass carp.
"This is the afternoon. I caught it myself in Nanhu Lake. I am also very lucky. Look, this big carp's mouth is still moving. It is really alive!" Xiao Yuan put it on the ground. The carp's vitality is really tenacious.
He took out two bottles of Xifeng wine, two packs of Qianmen cigarettes, and two kilograms of candy. Then he took out a fifty kilogram bag of white flour, a fifty kilogram bag of cornmeal, and potatoes at the bottom.
Zhao Zongqing and his wife were already stupid. Why did this fool take so many things? It’s hard to live in such a life!
"What are you doing, kid? Are you having a hard time? I'll keep the tobacco and alcohol, and we'll prepare the food and drinks for the big carp and potatoes, and carry the food back!" Zhao Zongqing glared and distributed the items directly.
"Yes, Xiao Yuan, we are all comrades-in-arms. You and Lao Zhao have an extraordinary relationship. He has always treated you like his own brother. Be obedient. My sister-in-law also agreed to keep the big fish. I will stew it for you.
Food is not enough!"
Xu Jing also agrees with her husband's arrangement. Smoking and drinking are brothers and comrades, and Xiao Yuan catches the fish himself.
"Okay, okay, what are you two worried about? When have you ever seen me do anything unreliable? Do you think I went to the black market to buy high-priced grain and give you gifts?
I've changed my job, and I don't need to flatter you, so get it into the house quickly, I won't carry it back again. Sister-in-law, you can cook while I discuss something with the director." Xiao Yuan explained, carrying two bags.
The food goes into the house.
The couple looked at me and I looked at you. Zhao Zongqing took off his hat and said, "Forget it, this guy must have channels. Our family doesn't have enough food. Let's stay. Give him two hundred yuan when you leave and treat it as buying for us."
Come on!"
"Okay, now we don't have to worry about celebrating the New Year, and the children can also eat something good to replenish themselves." Xu Jing is also a cheerful person, and the two sons at home can eat well.
The eldest son Zhao Ping is 13 years old, the second son Zhao Jiefang is 11 years old, and the youngest daughter Zhao Ling is only seven years old. It is no joke that the half-grown boy will eat me to death. The three children have inherited their big frames and can eat a lot.
The couple has a canteen at work, so they can't go hungry if they don't have enough to eat, but it can't protect their families. The three children can't sustain the rations for half a month. The couple's identities are sensitive, so Xu Jing's client secretly
Market buying point.
"Is this the eldest boy or the second boy? Who is this beautiful girl?" As soon as Xiao Yuan entered the house and saw two children doing homework, he couldn't help but ask Zhao Zongqing. They hadn't seen each other for many years and the children didn't dare to recognize them.<
/p>
"This is the liberation of the second child. The eldest son has gone out to play again. I haven't had time to beat him for a few days. My daughter is my precious daughter Xiaoling. She was born in the winter when you returned to the Northern Dynasty. She will be seven years old soon. Isn't she beautiful?"
Zhao Zongqing put down his hat and touched his daughter's pigtails. He was also a daughter slave.
"Old Zhao, how can you give birth to such a beautiful daughter? If you think she is thin, you might as well give her to me as your daughter. I guarantee she will be fat and white!"
Xiao Yuan also likes daughters. He was a precious daughter in his previous life. He divorced and married his ex-wife, but he also left her all the inheritance.
"Go to hell, you can choose your son. If you dare to take advantage of my daughter, I will fight with you! Jiefang doesn't recognize your Uncle Xiao? Xiaoling, this is dad's old comrade-in-arms, Uncle Xiao Yuan." Zhao Zongqing glared at Xiao Yuan.
, what about dreaming?
"Hello, Uncle Xiao!"
"Hello, Uncle Xiao!"
The two siblings greeted each other politely and looked at the young and handsome uncle curiously. How could Zhao Jiefang remember this? He was too young at that time.
"Okay, uncle bought you milk candies. After you finish your homework, ask your mother for them. That's really fast. Director, you are ten years older than me. You are 38 this year, right? My son and daughter are so old." Xiao Yuan said.
The memory of my predecessor is also somewhat emotional.
"Yes, I'm almost forty in a blink of an eye. I have been a soldier for 21 years, and my children are already so old." Zhao Zongqing stood up and went to pour tea.
Two people were smoking. In order not to affect the children, they simply went to the yard where it would be more convenient to chat.
Xiao Yuan also stated his request. He was wearing a Type 59 pilot summer and winter uniform. This was no problem. Zhao Zongqing waved his hand and agreed. Needless to say, this old comrade is not worth mentioning.
The second one is that Xiao Yuan plans to use one thousand kilograms of meat, guarantee five hundred kilograms of pork, and five hundred kilograms of big fish in exchange for a Japanese three-wheel motorcycle.
"We have a lot of idle time, and we do need meat to supplement nutrition, but I can't make the final decision on this matter!"
Zhao Zongqing took a puff of cigarette and used an idle motorcycle to transfer a thousand kilograms of scarce meat. It must be a very cost-effective deal. The key is that this aspect is not his responsibility!
"Director, I don't care who I'm looking for. I don't want to bother you. We have a lot of old troops. At worst, I'll take the train back. Believe it or not, I used two hundred kilograms of meat and they could renovate it for me."
Give it to me!" Xiao Yuan decided to put some pressure on him.
"Bullshit, I didn't know that the old army had seized a lot. It was all under my control before, okay! Like this, today you brought vegetables over and you cut another fish in half for me.
I'll take it to the first and second leaders, and ask them to come over for a drink and finish the matter. They all have been to the Northern Dynasties, so there are no outsiders." Zhao Zongqing put out the cigarette butt and felt that he could not give up.
"Okay, this is easy!" Xiao Yuan also threw away the cigarette butt and stood up to deal with it.
For the sake of absolute fairness, this guy cut open the edge of the big grass carp and divided it into two parts from the head to the tail. Otherwise, it would be difficult to divide the fish head and the tail to whomever!
