That night, Yuan Su told Chen Wennian about the incident, not because he hoped that Chen Wennian could be of any help, but after all, Chen Wennian was his boss now, so he couldn't hide everything. Waiting for a school to suddenly appear in the bidding department
Come on, in the end, Chen Wennian didn't know anything about it, and he was afraid that it would make him have wild imaginations.
After listening to Yuan Su's information, Chen Wennian also showed a very enthusiastic attitude, expressing his approval and willingness to support He Qigong in running the school in all aspects. Although he has been devastated by hardships, as long as he still has breath, the Chinese people will
No matter what, they will stick to this traditional New Year's day. However, every household in Luanzhou can still prepare and have the atmosphere for the festival, but in the military camp it looks like it has always been the same, and there is no trace of the holiday.
On the bright side, this is because of the duty of the military. The important task of protecting the homeland and the country is not divided into holidays. However, the more reason is that the military is now in chaos, and the holiday supplies allocated by superiors pass through the first floor.
A layer of deductions, and what is actually sent to the subordinates is already pitiful. If the battalion officers and team officers continue to exploit them, basically there will be no money left.
This is almost a very common phenomenon in the Chinese military camps in modern times. Even if they meet a slightly conscientious officer and can give the soldiers some pitiful holiday expenses, these soldiers have already lost the sense of celebrating the holidays.
Either to save the money, or to relieve the addiction to cigarettes, or to be blackmailed by the soldiers. During the festival, at least some red lottery signs should be posted in the military camp to increase the atmosphere of the festival. But this is
I have been busy with things for a while. Even on New Year's Eve, I was still talking to He Qigong about opening a school, and finally forgot about it.
However, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the soldiers should be given a good meal.
Early in the morning, he allocated a small amount of public funds, then summoned the cooking team and all the handymen to make an explanation for today's meal, and emphasized that the meal in the evening must include dumplings.
Even with this money, the cooking team and the handymen still find it difficult to manage. If they had prepared a few days in advance, it would be a piece of cake. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and most of the large and small shops in the city are closed.
of.
But now that Yuan Su has explained this matter, not to mention that it is good for everyone, the cooking team and handymen should still try their best to get the matter done.
Just at noon, Wang Lantong sent an ox cart to the Biaobu compound with great intentions to deliver a batch of annual goods to Yuan Su. This was a timely help for Yuan Su, and he felt that Wang
Lutong is a caring person. This cart of New Year's goods is not worth much to Wang Litong. It is more than a hundred catties of pork, more than a hundred catties of beef, several stones of rice and several jars of old wine. The gifts given by his subordinates alone are far away.
More than these.
Yuan Su did not unload all the goods on the ox cart, but only asked the handyman from the logistics office to unload more than half of the goods. Then he asked the driver to take the remaining items to the Supervisory Training Office and give them to Guo Wenyuan.
The militiamen also had extra meals.
He originally planned to give the training camp a day off and let the militiamen go home for reunion, but on the one hand, many poor families were unwilling to go home. Not only was their home not as warm as the training camp, but they also did not have three meals a day, and now they would be given
It adds to the burden on the family; on the other hand, New Year's Eve has passed, and there is no great significance in taking a holiday now, so we can simply give it up.
The soldiers in the Biaobu compound were all excited when they saw the logistics department carrying large pieces of dried meat to the kitchen. Only then did everyone realize that they could still have a Spring Festival this year.
Yuan Su followed the handyman to the logistics office. These dried meats were not only exclusive to the Biao Department, but also had to be distributed to the first and second battalions. However, part of it had already been allocated to the Supervisory Training Office, and the remaining New Year's goods were only a hundred.
Ten kilograms, seventy-nine pounds, three battalions with a total of six to seven hundred people, all calculated, each person can't even get three ounces of meat.
Just when he was worrying about this matter, Gao Shun suddenly came to Biaobu with a lot of supplies at noon and wished Yuan Su, Guo Wenyuan, Ge Jinzhang and others New Year greetings. After seeing Yuan Su, Gao Shun said that he had planned to go there early.
I came to visit you at some time, but it is a custom in the family to go first to greet the elders one by one on New Year's Day, so I delayed it until now.
If Wang Li came to send New Year's goods, Yuan Su could understand the other party's intention, and it was just to please him. But Gao Shun was obviously not such a person. The only thing he could understand was that the other party really followed traditional etiquette and came to express his gratitude to his friend.
Ask a question.
After Gao Shun learned that Guo Wenyuan and Ge Jinzhang were still in the supervisory training office, he did not stay at the Biao Department any longer and immediately rushed to the suburbs of Nancheng after handing over the supplies.
Before Yuan Su had time to count the things Gao Shun had sent, there was another announcement outside the gate, saying that Mr. Xiao Wang of Jing'an Town had sent someone to pay New Year's greetings to all the adults in the Biao Department and to present ten jars of fine wine, which had been marinated.
There is one whole sheep and one pig each. In comparison now, the New Year's goods sent by Wang Potong are really stingy.
Not only that, he once again realized that Wang Zhongyuan was a good person. Whether it was Wang Litong or Gao Shun, they were either here to send New Year gifts to Yuan Su, or they were here to pay New Year greetings to their colleagues in the Supervisory Training Office, but only Wang Zhongyuan had ulterior motives.
He said he came to pay New Year's greetings to all the adults in the Biao Department.
This simple sentence can not only please more people, but also save Yuan Su a lot of trouble, preventing Zhang Jiangong and Chen Wenian from thinking that Yuan Su is the only core figure in the Seventy-Nine Biao.
Although it seems that Chen Wenian is on his side and Zhang Jiangong has made his opposition clear, as long as Seventy-nine Biao does not leave Twenty Town for a day, he must keep a low profile as a person. After all, he made the wrong move at this juncture.
Any step may have extremely serious consequences.
After spending some time counting the New Year's goods, including the materials sent by Gao Shun, the things harvested today were enough for Seventy-Nine Biao to hold a banquet. He immediately called Du Yu and asked Du Yu to lead a few soldiers to prepare a portion of the feast.
The wine and meat were distributed to the first and second camps, and Du Yu was asked to instruct Zhao Shanhe and He Qigong on their behalf that they could drink alcohol today as an exception, but no one was allowed to get drunk.
This day was a rare good day for the Seventy-Nine Biao and the Supervisory Training Office. The soldiers were gearing up throughout the afternoon and looking forward to a big meal in the evening. Although there were no decorations in the military camp, gradually
It creates a festive atmosphere. For many people, they have not felt this festive atmosphere for a long time.
In the evening, the cooking team followed Yuan Su's instructions and prepared an open-air banquet on the playground of the Biaobu compound. Before the meal, the soldiers took the initiative to help, moving tables and stools. Almost everyone looked very nervous.
He looked busy. When it got dark, the soldiers lit a brazier near the playground and set up a large bonfire in the middle of the field.
The smell of meat comes from the kitchen of the cooking class, making many people salivate all the time.
Everyone was very excited about this dinner. They ate meat and sipped wine, as if it was the happiest time in their lives.
Yuan Su sat with other officers, but during the period he also came to the group of soldiers to toast and congratulate them.
All the soldiers knew very well that without Yuan Su's prestige, there would be no such sumptuous dinner.
Especially the soldiers of the third battalion, although they have followed Zhang Jiangong for a long time, they also have a deep understanding of Zhang Jiangong's character. A person who is extremely greedy and good at playing small tricks can have great success as a soldier under him. How much benefit? If something goes wrong, you have to bear the risk of taking the blame, and if you get any reward, most of it goes into your own pocket.
Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. If Yuan Su had not been there at the 79 mark, Zhang Jiangong would not have given up a penny to give the soldiers even a little extra food.
The only ones who can really get along with Zhang Jiangong are the few confidant officers. As the saying goes, those at the top only know how to protect their own interests, while those at the bottom are just trying to flatter others. The entire third battalion is in a mess. But that doesn't mean all soldiers are willing to join in the fun.
In the past, it was because everyone had no pursuits, and filling their stomachs was a good thing, so they didn't care about the misdeeds of Zhang Jiangong and his minions. But now with Yuan Su, a contrasting officer, present, this Master Yuan not only He has a strong identity and background, and more importantly, he is open-minded and upright, and can handle things in the interests of grassroots soldiers.
After Zhang Jiangong was promoted to acting commander, he has been in control of all the public supplies of the headquarters, but he has never thought about improving the living conditions of the soldiers. On the contrary, Yuan Su immediately formulated a food system for three meals a day after taking charge of the logistics and military supplies. , for soldiers, filling their stomachs is the goal of life.
After this dinner, the hearts of many people in Biaobu Compound changed.
