Zhao Ruyi has been in the army for more than two years, so he naturally recognizes such high-ranking generals in the army. People with three general stars on their epaulettes can be counted in the entire country with just one finger!
The neighbors who gathered in the alley to watch the excitement may not know who this majestic general is, but they clearly saw that the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the Mayor of Donghu City could only stand aside respectfully at this moment.
, accompanied by a smiling face!
As long as the common people in Wujia Village have TV sets at home, no one has seen the municipal party committee secretary and mayor on TV. But they didn't expect that such "big shots" would just be next to the general who came to visit Lao Jiangtou.
A foil!
"Old Ginger Head is amazing..."
"Identity is not simple..."
"I don't know, this is the commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region... he is older than the provincial governor..."
Various quiet discussions spread among the crowd.
I saw Old Jiang Tou wearing a shabby military uniform, surrounded like stars holding the moon, his face glowing red.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Military Region, who wore three dazzling gold stars on his left and right shoulders, warmly held his hands and greeted him.
More than a dozen cameras were aimed at Lao Jiangtou like spears and cannons. Reporters surrounded him on three floors inside and three floors outside!
This time, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region suddenly wanted to visit an injured veteran, but he just said hello to the local propaganda department. As a result, both the province and the city were busy.
The leaders of Donghu City mobilized collectively, and the province also rushed to dispatch the Propaganda Department, leaders of the United Front Work Department, and various media from Donghu City and Ling'an City rushed to the scene like racing cars.
At the same time, the Donghu City Public Security Bureau urgently deployed hundreds of police officers to Wujia Village, and the number of traffic police at nearby intersections suddenly doubled.
Wujiacun is the most chaotic place in the city center of Donghu City. If anything goes wrong, the leaders of Donghu City will be in ruins.
You need to know that for condolences to veterans, it is usually enough for the leaders of the municipal military divisions to express condolences. It would be great for the leaders of the provincial military regions to come forward. It is unheard of for the top leader of a large military region to express condolences!
Xu Jiani, who was struggling to squeeze her way into the middle of the crowd with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, was completely stunned when she saw this scene.
Zhao Ruyi squeezed over, quietly grabbed her wrist, and dragged her out of the crowd.
He had called his maternal uncle and knew that Xu Jiani's grandfather would definitely receive some care, but he did not expect that the commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region would come to visit Xu Jiani's grandfather in person.
It seems that my uncle's prestige in the army has not weakened. Zhao Ruyi thought to himself.
Just making a phone call to the local military district and asking for casual attention can have such power.
Xu Jiani finally felt relieved when she saw that her grandfather was okay, but she still couldn't figure out what happened. She returned to the intersection, picked up the discarded vegetables, and hesitated whether to squeeze in and talk to her grandfather.
"Let's go in through the back door." Zhao Ruyi knew that Xu Jiani didn't want to be in the limelight or be exposed to the camera, so he took her tender hand and walked around from the back yard.
Xu Jiani was feeling uneasy. At this moment, being pulled by Zhao Ruyi, she felt a little at ease and seemed to be on the ground.
They entered through the back door of the yard, then went up the stairs to the second floor, entered Xu Jiani's small attic-like bedroom, stretched their heads out of the window and looked down.
Several guards standing next to the Commander-in-Chief were nervous when they saw two heads sticking out of the window. Then they saw two young men and did not take any action.
This time, the commander-in-chief came with him, as well as some military region leaders, all of whom were of high rank.
"Old comrades, if you have any difficulties in life, just tell us..." The commander-in-chief took Lao Jiangtou's hand and said with concern.
"There is no difficulty! There is no difficulty!" The old ginger head sitting on the bench shook his head like a rattle.
Zhao Ruyi secretly laughed in her heart. She had no wine to drink and could only chew pickles to satisfy her cravings. She still had no difficulty...
He looked at Xu Jiani next to him and found that their grandfather and grandson were really the same. No matter how poor or miserable they were, they did not want to accept charity from others.
This window is very small, just a breathable window. In fact, it can only accommodate one body to go out. At this time, Zhao Ruyi and Xu Jiani are crowded here. Not only are their arms and shoulders firmly touching each other, but their buttocks are also touching each other.
The two heads were very close to each other, their ears were touching their ears, and their cheeks were almost touching.
"Here is a subsidy of 20,000 yuan prepared by the army for you. Thank you for..." The commander-in-chief took a bag from behind and stuffed it into Lao Jiangtou's hand.
"This can't be done... this can't be done... it will cause trouble to the troops..." Lao Jiangtou quickly declined.
"You are a veteran fighting hero of our People's Liberation Army. According to the policy, you should receive more subsidies. This is what we should replenish you. This is a mistake in the work of our military region..." the commander-in-chief advised while putting the money away.
Into the hands of Lao Jiangtou.
There is a medal hanging in Lao Jiangtou's home. He was a fighting hero in the 1950s. However, when Lao Jiangtou received the subsidy, he did not mention this honor. He always felt that a hero does not mention his bravery.
As a result, the military district checked Lao Jiangtou's information and found that he was a combat hero, so they quickly gave him another amount of money, and the commander-in-chief decided to visit the old hero in person.
"Old hero, this is the subsidy given to you by our municipal party committee and municipal government..."
The Municipal Party Committee Secretary and the Mayor, who had been making soy sauce nearby, also took the opportunity to step forward and put two condolences money into Lao Jiangtou's hands.
Lao Jiangtou would never have imagined that after decades of being discharged from the army, he would have such a glorious day! The Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Military Region came to visit him in person!
This is the general!
He did not have deep feelings for officials such as the municipal party committee secretary and the mayor, but he felt the sincerity of the commander-in-chief who was also in the army.
At this time, he was holding the money and didn't know what to say. The medal on his chest was shining brightly in the sun, and the corners of his eyes were soaked with tears.
"Old comrades, if you have any difficulties in life in the future, just report them to the troops, and we will try our best to solve them!" The commander-in-chief held Lao Jiangtou's palm tightly and said sonorously.
The gangsters standing in the crowd were a little excited when they saw the tens of thousands of yuan in cash in Lao Jiangtou's hand. However, when the commander-in-chief of the military region said this, none of them dared to think anything about it and hurriedly got out of the crowd.
Exit and roll as far as you can.
Will they still dare to bully Old Jiangtou and charge him protection money in the future?
Don’t even think about Lao Jiangtou being an old hero who has been personally visited by the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Military Region! Even if the army doesn’t come forward, the government will keep him alive! It’s going to be tiring to collect his protection money!
The commander-in-chief raised his head, looked at the dilapidated house where Old Jiang Tou lived, and sighed again, "I'm suffering!"
His casual emotion made the leadership team of Donghu City, including the municipal party committee secretary and mayor, feel their hearts twitch.
Wujia Village, which is close to the city center, has not been demolished for two years. If no one mentions it, they can still delay it. At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Military Region said such words, which is a bit...
Zhao Ruyi observed the expressions of the municipal party committee secretary and mayor of Donghu City, and was secretly happy. He called his uncle, hoping that Lao Jiangtou, who lived in Wujiacun, would attract his uncle's attention and also attract the attention of Wujiacun.
Now it seems that this goal has been achieved.
"Haha, this Wujia Village is already included in the city's demolition plan," the municipal party committee secretary said.
"Okay, I hope our old comrades can live in a newer and better house!" The commander-in-chief held Old Jiangtou's right hand hard and stood up from the bench.
The neighbors in Wujiacun all felt that light had come when they heard the municipal party committee secretary say these words.
They looked at Old Jiangtou with eyes full of gratitude...
