Chapter 76 Demobilized Soldiers

At the station in the county seat, a shuttle bus from the provincial capital slowly stopped. The door opened and passengers walked out one after another. A tall and burly young man with thick eyebrows and a square face was among the crowd.

He wore a military cap with a five-pointed star on his head and a military uniform. He carried a neatly folded quilt on his back and a travel bag with the words "Chinese People's Liberation Army" printed on it in his hand. He was dressed in green.

The military uniform stands out in the crowd. He is Ah Xiang's brother Ah Jian. Ah Jian is 26 years old this year. Today is the day when he is discharged from the army and changes his career. Ah Jian was drafted into the army at the age of 19 and went to a place called Longchiqiao under the jurisdiction of Macheng, Hubei.

In the local area, he became a motor soldier. After three years of compulsory service, he became a volunteer soldier for four years. When he joined the army, Ah Xiang was still a little girl. Seven years later, he was back here again. The county seat was still the same county seat.

It’s just that when I left, the low bungalows had quietly grown taller. There were more shops on both sides of the street. The road had also been paved with asphalt. Although there were still many potholes, it was better than the dusty appearance before.

There were too many. He had no intention of missing these things. He was going to report to the Civil Affairs Bureau and ask them to arrange a car to take him home.

Ah Jian strode to the Civil Affairs Bureau. He was accustomed to standing at attention at the door of the office and said "report". A middle-aged man wearing thick black-rimmed glasses walked out of the office. He looked at the soldier brother.

He invited Ah Jian into the office. Ah Jian showed him his job transfer certificate and offered to arrange a car to take him back to Muwa Village. He looked embarrassed in his black-rimmed glasses. He spread his hands and said helplessly: "Comrade,

Now there are not enough cars in each unit. Besides, I, a small officer, can't call the car distribution department!" Ah Jian was a little angry. He said, "Call the Armed Forces Department and let them think of a solution.

." He said with black-rimmed glasses: "Comrade, aren't you making things difficult for me? The Ministry of Armed Forces only cares about conscription and not demobilization. Trivial matters such as demobilization have long been left to our Ministry of Civil Affairs." Ah Jianhuo, who has been in charge for many years

His experience as a soldier made him develop the habit of being true to his word when doing things. He couldn't stand these prevarications. He stood up and said angrily: "I have served the country for seven years, and now I have to wait and see if I ask for a car to be sent.

Can I still expect you to arrange work? If you don't arrange a car today, I won't leave here." The black-rimmed glasses were most afraid of this kind of arrogance. He quickly sat down A Jian and reassured him:

"Comrade, be patient, be patient, be patient, if there is a problem, we will solve it slowly." He went to pour a glass of boiling water for A Jian, and then made more than a dozen calls. Finally, he found the car, and he accompanied him with a smiling face.

He said to Ah Jian: "Comrade, the car has been found. It belongs to your township government. They came out for a meeting today, but there are a lot of people, so they have to squeeze in... Do you think it's okay?" Ah Jian also saw the black frame.

The glasses had no power anymore, and there was no hope of him finding an empty car. Forget it, he said, "You can just let me get home today." The black-rimmed glasses added, "We have a meeting at four o'clock in the afternoon.

It's just over, look now..." Ah Jian raised his hand and looked at the military luminous watch on his wrist. There were still two hours until four o'clock. He put his luggage here and was going to go out to eat something and buy some gifts.

Parents and sister. So he said: "Okay, you help me look at my luggage. I'll go out to buy some things. I'll wait here at 3:30." The black-rimmed glasses nodded quickly and said: "Okay, okay! You go."

He wished that this thorny head would go away quickly.

Ah Jian walked to the street and looked at the dazzling array of products in the shops on both sides of the street. He bought a pack of "Liu Sanjie" brand cigarettes for his old father. This brand is the best brand now. Of course there are better brands than this.

, such as "Hongmei". But these are cigarettes smoked by people at the level of county magistrate and director, and the old father cannot afford to smoke. He thought that even if he bought it for him, his father would not be willing to smoke it. He would get it.

Feng’s store may be sold to small business owners with wealth, so it’s better to buy a pack that costs more than one yuan or two yuan. Ah Jian also bought a pair of shoes for his mother and sister Ah Xiang, which are high-end shoes.

Help, the kind with fur inside. This winter is so cold, my mother and sister will definitely be happy to have these shoes. Ah Jian thought, after seven years, my sister is already a big girl, and she must also like to dress up.

I also bought her a bottle of "Pechoin" cream for wiping her face.

After lunch, Ah Jian saw that it was still early, so he walked around again. At this time, he heard bursts of beautiful singing in his ears. He followed the singing and walked into a video store. There were several dual-SIM and video cards on display in the store.

A single-card recorder and colorful tapes. Ah Jian has also been frugal in the army these past few years. In addition to buying some necessities from the company's monthly allowance, he kept the rest and saved a thousand dollars.

Many dollars.

Ah Jian looked at the tape recorders on the shelf. He thought to himself, after being demobilized and returning home, he should be more prosperous. He gritted his teeth and counted the money and bought a dual-card tape recorder for two hundred and eighty yuan. He thought of leaving his hometown seven years ago.

At that time, the loudspeaker hanging on the big banyan tree in the village was already rusty. After buying this recorder, he stopped listening to the loudspeaker that shouted when the wind blew. He also selected a few cassettes and drove them in the company.

When he was young, he often went to a material transfer station, where there was a famous brand "Feiyan" tape recorder. He often listened to it during breaks, and he had long been familiar with the fashionable male and female singers on those tape cassettes. He bought Li Lingyu's,

There are also those from mainland singers such as Shi Xiaoqian and Tang Ni, and he also bought two boxes of those from Hong Kong and Taiwan Jiang Yuheng and Tong Ange. These are all singers he likes.

Ah Jian took the heavy tape recorder and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to wait for the bus. He waited for a long time before someone informed him to take a ride. When he got to the parking place, there were already several drunk township cadres in the car, and one of them had a red face.

His head came out of the window. He was the township chief, his surname was Zhao. Seven years ago when Ah Jian joined the army, he was just the deputy township chief. Now he has mixed up and become the chief township chief. He remembers Ah Jian,

When Ah Jian enlisted in the army, he was the one who brought people from the county armed forces department to pick him up. He said with a smile on his face: "Ah Jian, come on, come on, get in the car. You have been honorably discharged. I will watch you build your hometown when you get home."

It's even more beautiful." He spoke in mandarin, with a piece of green cabbage leaf stuck to his front teeth.

Ah Jian greeted him politely, and the driver helped him put his luggage away and got ready to get in the car. Mayor Zhao actually snored and fell asleep in the passenger seat. As a township leader, there is nothing to do. This is what he does every day.

There will be meetings, and then there will be eating and drinking. He has already developed the ability to drink a thousand cups at the table without getting drunk, and then fall asleep under the table.

Ah Jian had no choice but to squeeze into the back row. There were already four people sitting in the back row. Two men and two women. The man was the current deputy township head and the chairman of the National People's Congress. The woman was the women's director, and there was a young township head Zhao.

Sister-in-law. The two men were also drunk and leaned aside. The mayor's sister-in-law had no choice but to sit on the lap of the women director, squeezing a seat for Ah Jian to sit on. Ah Jian smiled a little awkwardly and sat on it. Winter

Everyone wore a lot of clothes, so many people came up all at once, and it was already packed. The driver pressed hard on the outside before closing the door. (Ah Jian is back, and his story is about to begin. He and several
