Xiao Huzi went very quickly and brought back a few dishes in a short time. While arranging the dishes, he smiled and said: "Commander, today is really the right time. [.Com text] The director of the afternoon canteen is behind.
Several traps were set on the mountain, and I wanted to trap a roe deer to give some leaders some nutrition."
"It's a pity that we didn't get the roe deer, but only two rabbits. Didn't you burn them all? In addition, Commander Wang of the First Brigade got some peanuts and good vermicelli when we captured Jiamusi. In the afternoon
I just sent someone to deliver it. These dishes today are all cooked by our chief secretary when he heard that several chiefs were going to have a dinner together."
The so-called extra dishes include a large bowl of pork and stir-fried radish, a bowl of stewed potatoes and pumpkin made from captured Japanese beef cans, and only four more dishes. A bowl of braised rabbit, and a plate of scrambled eggs.
A plate of fried peanuts and a plate of fried vermicelli, a Northeastern speciality. Apart from these, there is only a large bowl of millet porridge and a plate of large pancakes as the staple food.
Not to mention that the dishes are ordinary, there are two other dishes that are served in the cafeteria. It's just that the bowl of potato stewed with pumpkin has an extra can of beef added to it. And for this canned beef, Yang Zhen had to pay for it at his own expense.
Although the dishes were nothing more than simple, when he saw the dishes on the table, Li Yanping rubbed his hands and smiled at Xiao Huzi: "I said Huzi, you are not qualified to be a housekeeper.
How much wealth has your chief accumulated, is this a lot of money?"
Yang Zhen shook his head indifferently and said: "My food and clothing are all provided by the army, and I am a bachelor. Unlike you, Lao Li, who takes care of his family and smokes, there is no use keeping it. If you spend it, you will spend it."
. But you, our Standing Committee team plus Lao Zhang, are the only five people. You, Lao Li, have a heavy burden on your family, and you still smoke."
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen said half-complainingly: "In this war, you smoke one cigarette after another. The four cigarettes issued by the army every month according to regulations are not enough for you. You have to use your mouth to save the rest."
The little money I spent was all spent on smoking."
"You are the same, why don't you talk to Lao Zhang and give you more every month? Lao Guo and Lao Gao don't smoke, I smoke some occasionally. You are the only one in the whole headquarters who smokes, and you are the political commissar.
Care should be given. You should also save some money and improve your family life. The children in your family are all growing up. Besides, you, the political commissar of a powerful army, can't even afford a piece of tofu at home.
, this and that are ridiculous?”
In response to Yang Zhen's concern, Li Yanping shook his head and said: "I can't start with this, it's not a matter of one or two cigarettes. Rules are rules and must be strictly implemented. If those of us who make the rules cannot take the lead,
Enforcement, on the other hand, is a violation. Who else can abide by the regulations? If I smoke four cigarettes a month, it is already a special treatment. Any more would be special treatment."
"My family has a large population and many children. However, although your sister-in-law is not paid a salary at the military region's quilt factory, doesn't the military region also provide a subsidy of three yuan, and each child has a subsidy of one yuan. I also enjoy the supply system.
Food and clothing are also provided by the army. In fact, the rest of the monthly allowance and food can be saved. It is enough for smoking."
"Besides, my monthly allowance is ten yuan, which is paid on a monthly basis. It is six or seven yuan more than the soldiers below. I also get some food allowance every month. The soldiers below, due to financial constraints,
The two-dollar living allowance is rarely paid out on time. Those of us who are chiefs can receive it on a monthly basis, which is already special. We cannot take more."
As a political commissar, Li Yanping paid great attention to setting an example and taking the lead in everything. After the base area was stabilized, Yang Zhen secretly sent people south to pick up Li Yanping's family members from his hometown in Yanji. After the family members arrived at the base area, Li Yanping did not let him go.
The wife was able to enjoy the success of being an official wife at home, but the wife, who was good at sewing, was sent to the military region's quilt factory, and the several children were left in the care of their mother.
Although his wife works in the Military Region's Clothing Factory, according to regulations, except for free medical treatment at the health department, she does not receive a salary or benefits from the supply system. She has many children, and both of her sons are living in poverty.
At that age, his mouth can eat better than Li Yanping's, and he still has an old mother to support.
Although the army provides a family allowance of three yuan a month and a living allowance of one yuan a month for each child, there is not much left after excluding the purchase of food and daily necessities, and life is still tight. In addition to not having to use
Hiding around here and there every day, I was on tenterhooks. When there was no fighting, besides being able to enjoy a family reunion for a few days every month, it was better to live a better life farming in my hometown.
Due to financial constraints, limited funds must not only maintain the daily needs of the ever-expanding troops, but also invest heavily in military industry. Military industry, in particular, is simply a bottomless pit. Sometimes, in order to maintain military production, the troops' living expenses are even
You patchwork everything together, and in many cases you can only allocate some basic living expenses.
Therefore, after the base area was established, Yang Zhen clearly stipulated that any military family member whose husband's allowance is more than seven yuan and who works in the military region's uniform factory will not enjoy the general worker's monthly salary of ten yuan, but will be paid monthly by the military region.
A living allowance of three yuan is provided, and those with children receive an additional one yuan per month for each child. Even if they are responsible for technical work, they do not enjoy it.
Not only are military dependents working in the uniform factory not receiving allowances, but also in the arsenal, which is the only place in the entire Jidong Military Region besides the quilt factory that pays a salary, and it is also the highest-paid place, even if you are an ordnance industry expert, you will not get a penny.
I also only received a family allowance of three yuan.
Fortunately, among the current cadres of the army, bachelors account for the vast majority. The few who have family members are either far away in the customs, or they have long been living in unknown places. The few cadres who came from the Anti-Japanese League have family members, and most of them are illiterate.
One. Either farming in the Construction Corps, or working in a quilt factory with a relatively low salary. Basically, no one works in an arsenal.
Otherwise, looking at the salary of my colleagues who work the same job in the arsenal, the minimum salary is 17 yuan per month, and the highest skilled workers can even get 30 yuan, many of these cadres may have revolutions in their families.
This rule applies not only to those whose family members are working locally, but also if both parties are in the military. If both people are military personnel, then after marriage, the wife's allowance will be canceled and the wife will also be given a living allowance of three yuan every month. At most.
It’s just that the supply system benefits enjoyed remain unchanged.
If Zhang Ting had not sacrificed, after she married Yang Zhen, regardless of her position as deputy director of the logistics department, the eight yuan monthly allowance based on her level would still have been cancelled, and she would have received the same three yuan monthly living allowance as other family members. Except
When a child is born, apart from the five-yuan nutritional subsidy given to all other family members, there is no special treatment.
This is not Yang Zhen's desire to save money from his family members. It is a fiscal austerity policy that he has to adopt as a last resort under the current situation where the army's financial management is not yet sound and there are very few sources of income, and most of them can only rely on seizures.
In the base area, in order not to kill chickens to lay eggs, to ensure the enthusiasm of farmers and stabilize the people's hearts, the agricultural tax collected is only 30% of the actual income, and all of it is paid off with grain. Any excess will be purchased in cash according to the market price. Not only is it impossible to collect grain
To maintain a balance of revenue and expenditure, even Tangyuan, which is the main battlefield, has to provide a considerable amount of grain relief under the premise that this year's autumn harvest has become a foregone conclusion in most areas.
In addition, the original occupation was all small counties, there was not much industry and commerce, and the commercial tax collected was really not much. Even in order to encourage commercial circulation in the base area, except for brothels that had not yet been banned and in order to reduce food consumption, wine making was intentionally
In addition to heavy taxes imposed on the industry, the rest are also exempted from tax from time to time.
Nowadays, the main expenditures of the army are almost all based on confiscated Japanese and puppet assets. The sources of income are pitiful and the expenditures are large. No matter how much the captured funds are saved, the money is still not enough to spend. And several gold mines
Most of the income was invested in military construction.
Funds are limited, expenses are high, and there is a lack of financial management personnel in the army, so the current use of funds is stretched. In desperation, Yang Zhen can only work on himself, saving whatever he can. In addition to ensuring necessary food and clothing for the troops,
Apart from expenses, save the rest if you can.
Li Yanping's words moved Yang Zhen very much. For a large family, except for him who enjoys certain treatment according to the supply system, the rest of the people have to go to the market to buy food and clothing. What he has is not as good as that of a Puppet Manchukuo.
A hotel waiter's high income and subsidy can barely make ends meet.
He is a dignified political commissar of the military region and a political officer in charge of tens of thousands of troops. He usually doesn't even see any oil flowers at home. His living standard is even lower than that of the local people who can occasionally eat some meat to improve their lives. There are six people in the family.
They were all crowded into a palm-sized dormitory provided by a quilt factory that had moved to Luobei County.
Yang Zhen had seen him save the extra-subsidized eggs more than once and feed them to his children. Occasionally, the headquarters cafeteria used them as a substitute because there was no money to distribute meals, and he was reluctant to eat the confiscated cans and took them home.
For the old mother and several growing children.
I think of those in later generations who spent tens of thousands of public funds on a meal, smoked a cigarette that cost tens of thousands, or drank a bottle of imported high-end foreign wine that cost tens or even hundreds of thousands, or drank domestic wine except top-quality Maotai.
, the tables were full of shark fins, sea cucumbers, abalone and other high-end seafood, and the officials felt that they had nowhere to take their chopsticks.
In front of me, I have always set an example, let alone high-end cigarettes such as Hardman, which are now less valuable than a chicken. Even adding two cigarettes of the cheapest Concorde cigarettes every month is afraid of causing inconvenience to the troops.
Li Yanping had such a good influence. Yang Zhen took a deep breath and sighed, these are our seniors who have fought for the country and the people for most of their lives, even staining the battlefield with blood.
Seeing Yang Zhen deep in thought, not knowing what he was thinking, Guo Bingxun tapped the bowl lightly and smiled and said: "Commander, the political commissar has just been in a daze for a long time, and let everyone accompany him to endure hunger for a long time.
.Now that the food has been served, you are still stunned. Your wine has been poured for you. Shouldn’t we clink glasses?”
Guo Bingxun, who was a light drinker, didn't drink liquor easily, so what he had in front of him was a tea vat of beer. Apart from him, including Yang Zhen, everyone else was pouring white wine. He looked at the vat full of liquor in front of him.
, Yang Zhen, who was summoned by Guo Bingxun, couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I said you guys are just trying to pour me down. How can I drink so much liquor? This is more than fifty degrees.
The high-altitude wine. If the tea jar goes down, I will faint. How can I still be on duty?"
Hearing this, Li Yanping smiled and said: "Commander, Lao Guo just said that he will go on duty in a while. As for you, just stay here and drink. This drink is a celebration drink for our victory this time. You...
The great hero must drink even if he drinks, and he must drink even if he doesn't drink."
These words were originally just told the truth, but when he thought of the sacrificed Zhang Ting, Li Yanping realized that he had said the wrong thing. The celebration drink was not wrong. As the supreme commander of this battle, Yang Zhen was well-deserved as a hero. It’s just that
Zhang Ting's sacrifice cast a considerable shadow on this hero.
It was just beyond the expectations of Li Yanping and even Gao Yumin. Regarding Li Yanping's words, Yang Zhen seemed very calm. He just said lightly: "The great hero of this battle is not me, but the martyrs who died on the battlefield. Without them
With sacrifices, will we win battles one after another?"
Yang Zhen raised his wine glass and said with a bitter smile: "Although Zhang Ting is my fiancée, she is also a soldier. Since she is a soldier, she should be prepared to sacrifice. Not only her, but also everyone here
, in this war for the entire nation to safeguard sovereignty, independence, and national dignity, everyone should be prepared to sacrifice."
"Because we are soldiers, whether we join the army voluntarily or not. But since we put on this military uniform, we should be mentally prepared to sacrifice everything. Although I am very sad about Zhang Ting's sacrifice, I am also proud. She died in
On this battlefield of national liberation against foreign aggression, she realized her value as a soldier."
"From now on, I will miss her forever. For the rest of my life, I will never forget her or my lover who fell on the battlefield of the liberation of the motherland. But I will not remain silent in pain. The wolves that trample the land of the motherland are not there yet.
Drive them away. Our compatriots are still living under the iron heel of the invaders. We must forget all the pain, wipe away the blood and tears, and fight them to the end. Until we finally defeat them and drive them back to their home base."
"Because we are soldiers, soldiers with the mission of protecting our country. When our country is invaded and the people are massacred, we hold the gun tightly and fight bloody battles for the independence of the motherland, the dignity of the nation, and the people's peace and contentment. In the end, it is we who fight bloody battles.
The only option.”
Having said this, Yang Zhen's expression was calm, but he said to the people present almost word by word: "I will celebrate Zhang Ting's birthday for three years. Within three years, I will not get married again, nor will I even fall in love."
.When she was alive, I once broke her heart. Now, I will keep a holiday for her for three years."
After that, Yang Zhen drank the full glass of wine in one gulp. While the wine was drying, Yang Zhen also deeply suppressed the pain in his heart. He knew that he would never suffer this kind of pain again in the future.
It won't be exposed.
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, except for Guo Bingxun, who understood his thoughts, the other three people present were all stunned. They knew Yang Zhen's character, and they also knew that when Yang Zhen's stubborn temper came up, everyone would be stunned.
He couldn't be persuaded. The only commander-in-chief who could suppress him was not here at the moment. After receiving the signal from Guo Bingxun's eyes, several people stopped trying to persuade him.
Seeing that the scene was a little cold, Yang Zhen, who had finished his glass of wine, took a bite of rabbit meat and smiled and said: "The political commissar is right. Some things have passed, and we all have to look forward. Come on, come on.
, everyone eats vegetables. This meal has consumed all my allowance for the past six months. If I don’t eat it, it will be a real waste.”
"Let me tell you, I am a very stingy person. After this opportunity, if you ask me to treat you next time, you won't know whether it will be the Year of the Monkey or the Horse. Besides, these dishes have taken a lot of effort from the Chief of Staff of our headquarters. This
If you don’t eat it, it will be a waste of people’s hard work.”
Yang Zhen's words obviously livened up the atmosphere, which made several people laugh. They also changed their silence just now and raised their chopsticks or wine glasses. The chef of the headquarters canteen who no longer cooks himself is really good at cooking, simple
He made all the food delicious and delicious. After the meal, everyone enjoyed themselves quite a lot. However, Yang Zhen was drunk.
Although Yang Zhen was already in control, he was still so drunk that he had other things on his mind. He even forgot to discuss some things with Li Yanping alone after dinner. This was the first time he had done this since he returned to this era.
I got drunk for the first time and got so drunk.
