"Traveling home?" Wu Fangge then discovered that there was a drag box standing beside Lu Xiaowan's feet.
"Well, the army doesn't want me anymore. I have to go back to find a job." Lu Xiaowan said lightly.
This is indeed a routine. Before an officer or volunteer soldier is determined to be transferred, the army will usually give a long vacation, ranging from several months to more than half a year. Let them go back to contact a better work unit and go back to the army to handle the transfer procedures after the contact is completed. Lu Xiaowan goes back like this now. It seems that the transfer has become a foregone conclusion. However, she was originally a nurse. Even if she returned to the local area, she would probably go to a hospital. If she had a good relationship, she might go to a "yamen" like the health bureau. In short, there is no need to worry about work.
Wu Fangge heard that Lu Xiaowan was leaving, but somehow he felt a little sad again, but his face did not show it, but said with a smile: "Then I wish you a good job as soon as possible."
Lu Xiaowan smiled and scolded, "Stop making fun of me, find me a book, I still have to catch the train."
Wu Fangge said: "The books here cannot be loaned to sanatoriums, and the loan period is no more than 15 days. You may have been leaving for several months. Why did you pay me back?"
Lu Xiaowan rolled her eyes and said, "How do I know? You are the administrator, why don't..." Her eyes shining, "Come to my house and ask Director Yu to calculate the tolerance for you...hehehe."
Wu Fangge waved his hand repeatedly and said, "Forget it, this book is not worth the train ticket price."
Lu Xiaowan asked again: "Then do you still borrow it?"
"Borrow!" Wu Fangge agreed very simply. He went in and found a so-called European and American bestseller from the newly imported book. It was nothing more than guns, gold, pillows, and fists. After registering, he took it out and handed it to Lu Xiaowan.
Lu Xiaowan took the book but did not leave immediately. Instead, she asked Wu Fangge: "How long will it take to be discharged from the army?"
Actually, this is a bit quibbling. She has been in the army for so many years. Although the specific date is uncertain, the month is still clear. She has nothing to say to do.
Wu Fangge said honestly: "At two or three months at most, three or four months."
Lu Xiaowan said: "I've been back for a long time this time, maybe you've left when I come back."
Wu Fangge also heard the reluctance and sadness in Chulu Xiaowan's words, and comforted him: "In fact, divorce and reunion in life are common. If you really have a fate, you will meet sooner or later."
"Yeah," Lu Xiaowan nodded and said, "I'm leaving." As she said that, she moved her face closer to Wu Fangge, lowered her voice and said, "Don't forget, we were worshipping each other, I took this head for you today." After that, before Wu Fangge could react, she turned around and walked away quickly, but the moment she turned around, Wu Fangge clearly saw some shiny things in her eyes.
Lu Xiaowan left, and the days became calm in the next few days. Everything was going on step by step. Sister Zhou had come a few times and borrowed a few fashion magazines to read. The words seemed to imply that Wu Fangge: Even if Lu Xiaowan was not there, she could go to her dormitory to play. But Wu Fangge always pretended to be confused, so that he would not have to regenerate the right and wrong. In addition to work, he made a plan after retirement, hoping to have a new beginning. One day, He Jian called unexpectedly and said, "You said what's going on! You said what's going on!" He said several times in a row. What's going on?
Wu Fangge asked in confusion: "What's going on? You don't even explain it clearly."
He Jian said unexpectedly: "You didn't watch TV."
Wu Fangge suddenly understood that Beijing is holding the Asian Games these days. Wu Yuanjia, the commander of the northern Vietnam Military Region, was invited as a VIP, which means that the ten-year border war between China and Vietnam has officially ended.
He Jian said unwillingly: "After fighting for so many years, so many brothers died, it's all over. Wu Yuanjia, that's the hand of tyrants, how many of our brothers are stained with blood on his hands."
Wu Fangge didn't know how to persuade the old comrade-in-arms, so he had to say: "He Jian, isn't we actually fighting to the death just for this day?"
He Jian said: "Which day? Let's go to the red carpet for Wu Yuanjia?"
Wu Fangge said: "Of course it's not for this peace. For peace, there would be no peace today without the bloody battles of brothers."
He Jian didn't say anything for a long time, and finally said, "Think about it, you are right, but I always feel something is wrong when I'm going to fight, let our brothers fight to the death now. Now they don't have much loss. They drink red wine, walk on the red carpet, and have a state banquet at Diaoyutai. But many disabled brothers here have not yet arranged their way..."
Wu Fangge could not answer these questions, so he had to pick the nice ones and persuade He Jian a few more words. Finally, He Jian said, "It's a pity that Staff Lu died. He is very knowledgeable and may be able to explain clearly." The two of them chatted, but they couldn't tell the truth. After sighing for a while, they hung up the phone
After talking to He Jian, Wu Fangge, who was originally calm, couldn't calm down. Some things that were already hidden in his heart rose up again. The comrades who were with him day and night were beaten to death in front of him. Is all the sacrifices really worth it?
Thinking of this, Wu Fangge rushed to the washbasin, washed his cold water face hard, and drove out these thoughts that he shouldn't have from his head. He said to himself: "The most important thing you are to make yourself happy now. Besides, everything is fake. If you think about things you shouldn't think about, you will be waiting for bad luck in your life. It's over, it's over!" After saying that, he rubbed his face twice and felt much better.
Two days later, Deputy Director Yu asked him to go to the office to talk. At the beginning, he first confirmed his work achievements during this period, and then said, "However, someone has reflected on some of your problems." He said, his hand seemed to accidentally put it on a stack of opened envelopes. The envelope was a special envelope for the nursing home, but there was no triangle postmark for the troops. Instead, it was posted with ordinary stamps. It seemed that the informant took the letter outside and sent it around.
After a big circle, I returned to the nursing home. This is what is called "spend eight cents to check for half a year." But Wu Fangge felt strange: Since I had worked hard to get it outside to send it, why not change the envelope to an ordinary one? If you don't change the envelope, you will take it to the United Nations to send it. Wouldn't it be obvious at a glance that the writer is inside the nursing home? This is really funny: A wise man will make a mistake, let alone a fool who thinks he is smart?
Deputy Director Yu tapped the envelope with his fingers, but he never said that there was any problem with Wu Fangge being reported. This is also a pity to put pressure on the person he talked to. Wu Fangge was unfamiliar with this hand, so he felt a little disappointed: After all, he came out of the same army with Deputy Director Yu, so he said anything directly, there is no need to play tricks, but at the same time, it also made Wu Fangge understand how difficult it is to establish friendship with someone, especially when the status of these two people is different.
"It's just a request to check the accounts of my library and plumbing warehouse during this period, and there is also a problem with my lifestyle. Generally, there are only these two complaints, and nothing new." Since Deputy Director Yu didn't say it, Wu Fangge had to say it himself.
"Oh?" Deputy Director Yu smiled and said, "Then tell me what do you think about this matter."
Wu Fangge replied: "Opinion? My opinion is not important."
Deputy Director Yu asked again: "Whose view is important?"
Wu Fangge said: "The most important thing about the organization's opinion is that if the organization trusts me, then there is no need to have ten or twenty letters or even one hundred letters. If the organization does not trust me, even if I don't have these letters, I will definitely be in trouble."
Deputy Director Yu laughed and said, "Singing, I'm going to criticize you. Why do you mean that the organization doesn't trust you? You're going to be unlucky? It's really true. The organization will not wrongly accuse any good comrade."
Wu Fangge said: "Of course I believe in the organization, and I will be discharged from the army soon, so I don't want anything wrong with it."
"When it comes to retirement," Deputy Director Yu said, "I really can't bear to leave you."
Wu Fangge said: "The sanatorium is full of talents. I am just a conscript. I have been serving for a year for more than one year. I can leave early and I can get a free quota for my brothers from the countryside to be transferred to volunteer soldiers in the future."
"That's the case," said Deputy Director Yu: "Don't worry, I won't delay your future just because you are too capable! But although you are about to be discharged from the army, I still hope to make some adjustments to your work, so I came to talk to you."
Wu Fangge thought to himself: "This guy is definitely going to increase my work and by the way, I want to ease the conflicts caused by the strict work style and discipline some time ago. After all, people who can come to such an easy-to-go unit have some connections. If you catch it too tightly, it is easy to offend people. Moreover, the sanatorium is originally a Sheila unit. It is okay to emphasize discipline occasionally, but if you keep holding on, it will be annoying." Thinking of it, he said to the deputy director: "I have no problem. As long as the task assigned by the head and the organization, even if I will be discharged from the army tomorrow, I will still do it meticulously today."
"Okay, okay," Deputy Director Yu said three good words in a row before saying: "Actually, I have been thinking about how to do better the work in the department during this period. Through observations some time ago, I found that the reason why our Logistics Department is inefficient and poor in discipline is apart from the factors of the overall environment is mainly three problems: 'Many points, wide range of people, and mixed people', so it is difficult to manage. I thought, since we are in the army, we should still follow the military's methods. I plan to organize all the things under the Logistics Department according to the army and organize them into several complications. This unified management and arrangement will definitely be effective in improving work efficiency and strengthening discipline."
Wu Fangge felt that it was time to flatter him, so he said, "A good idea, doing this will definitely make the work of our logistics department look brand new."
Deputy Director Yu smiled and said, "Yes, but there is a problem here. All departments of the sanatorium have never done such a thing except the police connections. My thoughts have been reported to the Party Committee of the Court, and the Party Committee of the Court has also passed it. It's just... to be honest... there is a shortage of talents..." He said while looking at Wu Fangge.
When Wu Fangge saw it, he thought it was a big deal. This guy was looking at me again. Can’t I be quiet and quiet until I retired?
"We are in the sanatorium." Deputy Director Yu seemed to be complaining: "There is no shortage of cadres, no shortage of volunteer soldiers, just a shortage of capable squad leader."
Wu Fangge said, "But I have never been a squad leader."
"But you have fought a war," said Deputy Director Yu, "I came through the fire in my blood... And I don't know you yet, you can do it!"
Wu Fangge's mind quickly turned around, feeling that although he had a few more jobs, it was not harmful. Since he had done some plans for the future, the leadership talent was also a very important part. Now he had to take care of a few people first. Even if he thought about it in the future, he said according to the old routine: "I obey the arrangements of the leaders and the organization."
Deputy Director Yu smiled and said, "Now I'm listening to your words, it's getting more and more pleasant." As he said, he told Wu Fangge about his thoughts. Wu Fangge is now in charge of the plumbing warehouse and the library activity room, but in name only in charge of the matter and not in charge of the people. This time, Deputy Director Yu transferred the Geotechnical warehouse and the servicing warehouse to Wu Fangge, and organized the personnel of four small units into a serene class. Wu Fangge was the squad leader. As for the deputy squad leader, Deputy Director Yu delegated authority to allow Wu Fangge to recommend candidates as a balance and reply to the 'report letter' in the next two weeks. Qi Tian, who has been punished, was transferred back to the plumbing warehouse and re-serving the administrator. The fish pond was set as Wu Fangge's "direct authority". However, in order for the rules and regulations formulated by Wu Fangge when he was there, soldiers from the library and the plumbing warehouse were transferred one by one.
When Qi Tian received the order to be transferred back to the plumbing warehouse, he was very happy, and this happy mood continued until he took over the work. Later, he found that the rules and regulations formulated by Wu Fangge were almost perfect, with almost no loopholes to be exploited, and his prestige as an administrator had been lost. His subordinates did not listen to him and only followed the rules to do things according to the rules. The soldier transferred from the library was not to mention, even the soldier in the original warehouse felt that he was not reliable through this stage of affairs. Only Wu Fangge followed everything, he became an empty air. What's more, once the miscellaneous squad was established, the signing rights for daily settlement of accounts were raised to the level of the squad leader, and the administrator had almost no power. So Qi Tian began to miss the time when he was working alone in the fish pond. At least at that time there was no work to do, and he was free and at ease alone.
Since he was directly under the fish pond, he wanted to give Qi Tian some comfort. Deputy Director Yu meant that Wu Fangge would better move to the fish pond to live in this way. The untransferred soldier in the library happily moved into the comfortable dormitory that Wu Fangge had tidied up, and then thought he had been promoted, and he pointed at the soldier transferred from the plumbing warehouse. Deputy Director Yu also agreed to do this, so he became happier and harder and more serious in his work. In fact, he was not promoted half of his position and his allowance did not increase at all. He was just a "sneeze secretly" when he went to the fish pond. Deputy Director Yu happened to be fine, so he accompanied Wu Fangge. At that time, Qi Tian had moved away, and the already dark and humid hut became more and more messy.
The main house of the small brick house in the fish pond is about fifteen or sixteen square meters, low, giving people the feeling that you can touch your head as soon as you look up, the doors and windows are in the same direction, and the lighting is not good. In addition, it is close to the fish pond, and the room is relatively humid.
In addition to the main house, there is a side door in the room. A small house inside is only two-thirds of the main house. It is used as a warehouse. There are rotten fishing nets and broken fish baskets. Because there are no windows, it looks more and more wet. As soon as the door is opened, a tide and musty smell immediately rushed into people's nose.
"Oh..." Deputy Director Yu covered his nose and said, "This Qi Tian, I think he is not a great saint, he should be called Tian Peng!"
The two of them couldn't stay in the house, so they had to go outdoors. Fortunately, this house had the same benefit, that is, the dripping eaves were relatively wide. At one end of the warehouse, the area of the warehouse was only two-thirds of the main house, so there was a small shed, and the corner was a dilapidated stove. I cooked fish here all night, and a dirty iron pot had not been washed yet
"There is no one living in this place," said Deputy Director Yu: "Singing, why don't you...you'll go back to the library to live." His speech was inquiring tone, not in an orderly manner.
Wu Fangge smiled and said, "Look at how I cleaned up. The library was still messy at that time? Isn't it pretty good now?"
Deputy Director Yu touched the wall with his hands and said, "It's just too wet, it's not good for the health."
Wu Fangge said: "Just find some lime to put it in, and then wet air is good for the body."
Deputy Director Yu smiled and pushed Wu Fangge and said, "I just like you who are confident in everything.
