Lin Yi felt a little depressed after eating this meal. It was not that the food was not good, the food here was quite sumptuous, even the roasted whole lamb was served, and the standard was not low.
But the key is the location issue, which is too embarrassing.
In terms of qualifications, military rank, and experience, nothing compares to Lin Yi.
Even if they are school officers who have retired from active service, they are still their seniors, and they cannot pretend to be superior.
But he is also an inspector. Although he is just a clerk, he is also the object of fawning over all the webmasters.
Then when they toast themselves, it would be inappropriate not to drink. If they drink too much, they will not be able to work, and if they take a sip, it will appear too unrestrained.
After struggling for a long time, Lin Yi put down his wine glass and said: "Seniors, we are not outsiders. You are all leaders from the army. We know that the army has a ban on alcohol. If I drink, it will be very troublesome for me to return to the dormitory at night."
"Besides, I have work tomorrow. If everyone has a drink, I'm afraid I'll have to lie down here directly. So, I'll have a drink today. As a young officer, I respect all the seniors. After drinking, I will only drink tea.
I won’t drink any alcohol later.”
After saying that, he drank it directly.
Deputy Captain Liu also raised his glass at this time, "Since Xiao Lin has this proposal, as the leader of the inspection team, I also agree. After drinking this glass, I will not drink any alcohol tonight."
After Deputy Captain Liu expressed his stance, the atmosphere immediately became much more relaxed. Lin Yi stopped being too polite to them and started attacking the roasted whole lamb.
After eating half a leg of lamb, which was almost two kilograms of meat, I didn't feel full, so I picked up another big bone and gnawed two more pieces before it was almost full. Lin Yi wiped his mouth and looked at the people chatting with each other.
Stand up slowly and prepare to go out and hide for a while.
I really don't like this kind of lively situation.
A militiaman nearby saw Lin Yi standing up and immediately came over and asked: "Inspector Lin, do you want to go to the toilet? Let's go together."
There is basically no good reason to leave the dinner table except to urinate. As for making a phone call, this reason is not advisable. Who knows if you are calling the boss. Saying it will make everyone worried.
Even if this is a very normal dinner party, it still makes people suspicious.
So he nodded, "Okay, let's take one piece."
As soon as they walked out of the private room, the militiaman said: "Inspector Lin, I have to thank you for helping us find the herdsmen. If it weren't for you, Class 8, we would have really suffered this time. Strange to say, this blizzard came just at once.
There were no signs at all, otherwise our herdsmen would not have been unprepared."
Lin Yi didn't know much about the weather on the border, but in a mountainous place, the weather was bound to be changeable, but it should be unusual for the weather to be so outrageous that even the border guards couldn't figure it out.
Lin Yi became more energetic, "In your opinion, do you think the weather will get worse in the future? By the way, judging from your tone, I shouldn't be the stationmaster of the duty station below."
The militiaman waved his hands repeatedly, "I am not the station commander, I am just a clerk in the brigade. I have only worked here for more than three years, and I am far from the station commander."
Don't think that the clerk is more powerful than the station leader. Although under common understanding, the militia duty station is considered to be a squad, so the station commander should be the squad leader.
The brigade's clerk is the battalion headquarters clerk. No matter how you look at it, the battalion headquarters clerk is more powerful than a basic squad leader.
But in fact, it cannot be calculated like this at all. As mentioned at the beginning, the two station commanders at the duty station were both majors who returned from their jobs.
In this way, the webmaster's gold content will increase a lot instantly.
Please don’t think that a major will take up the position of squad leader when he returns from the job? Are they willing to do so?
If you think so, you are totally wrong.
As a stationmaster at a border defense station, your monthly income is not low, much higher than that of an ordinary job, and not at all lower than the salary of a full-time officer. What's more, working at the border defense comes with six insurances and two benefits, and the year-end bonus can be enviable.
dead.
One thing to mention here is that the webmaster is not a civil servant, or even a business officer. He is almost the same definition as a village chief. He seems to have no staff, but in fact the benefits are quite good.
Now it seems that it would not be bad for the major to become the stationmaster on duty after returning from his job.
After all, in most cases, those who eat from the public sector are far better than those who eat from the private sector. If you have connections and abilities, your first thought is definitely to come here, after all, you will find professional counterparts here.
Otherwise, even if you are a demobilized major, what position can you take? Assigned to an office as a clerk with sub-section treatment?
Or can you choose your own career with hundreds of thousands of demobilization fees, open a restaurant, and do some small business?
If the former can be assigned to an office, it is considered relevant.
If it's the latter, there's simply no comparison.
Working as a stationmaster at the border defense, you get a salary of at least hundreds of thousands a year, plus six insurances and two golds, discounts on buying a house, and free food and accommodation. Apart from being a little tough, it's pretty much like running a small business.
After all, business is hard to do now. You have been working in the army for more than ten years, and your experience is not as much as that of businessmen in society. You lose far more than you earn.
Anyway, Lin Yi has seen many examples of non-commissioned officers who retired after five years and eight years, and used hundreds of thousands of retirement pay to start a business, but lost all their money.
After all, if you can get hundreds of thousands of dollars at once, many people cannot make good use of such a large amount of wealth, so naturally they cannot grasp it.
It's a bit far...
The clerk continued: "I feel that the weather has changed too much this year. Your patrol routes are worse than ours, so we must treat them well."
Lin Yi nodded, "We will be careful. By the way, according to your estimation, like the snowstorm two days ago, will it still blow in the future?"
When the clerk heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, "Is Inspector Lin a new member of the border defense regiment? He was able to join the three-party inspection team just after joining the border defense regiment. Inspector Lin is really excellent."
Only then did Lin Yi realize that he seemed to have asked an idiot question. The 8th squad leader often said that after winter here, there would be winds, snow or blizzards twice a week on average.
Then snowstorms are a common occurrence here.
It's just that there aren't many particularly big and sudden snowstorms like the past two days.
Lin Yi smiled awkwardly, "Go to the toilet quickly."
The clerk reminded, "Inspector Lin, based on my intuition, the snowstorm like the last two days will definitely happen again. You must be careful when you go to inspect."
Lin Yi nodded solemnly, "Thank you for reminding me, I will definitely pay attention to it."
Seeing the clerk enter the toilet, Lin Yi turned around and went downstairs. He had just finished eating and had no desire to urinate. He did not want to go to the toilet. While he had time now, he had to go to the hot pot restaurant opposite.
Take a look at how they cook hot pot on the plateau. If you can learn this method, you can have a steaming meal when there is a snowstorm and you can't patrol.
