Chapter 8 Chapter VII

Yu Haiying lost very badly this time, and he really retreated. He wanted to leave a batch, and he would visit relatives and return to Beijing. There are various gifts and luggage on the table in Haiying’s dormitory. He was busy packing clothes into the box. Suddenly, he found an old-fashioned military cap of the People’s Liberation Army from the cabinet. He put it on and walked to the mirror. The image of himself was revealed, he looked at it carefully and smiled blankly. Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted Yu Haiying's thoughts. Yu Haiying walked over to open the door, and was stunned that it was Qiao Hong standing outside the door.

"Qiao Hong! Why are you here?" Yu Haiying couldn't believe his eyes. "Can't I come?" Qiao Hong still looked like a young lady. "That's not what I mean, I mean you should at least say hello so I can pick you up." Qiao Hong stared at the military cap on Yu Haiying's head, feeling a little strange. Yu Haiying hurriedly took off his military cap, and quickly explained: "Just now I was looking through things, try putting it on..." As he spoke, he threw his hat to the corner and went to pick up the bag in Qiao Hong's hand. Qiao Hong entered the door, looked at the messy house while walking, and asked strangely: "What are you doing here, are you going to move?"

Yu Haiying was a little incoherent, and said: "No. I, I, I am going back to Beijing to see you!" "Look at me?" Qiao Hong opened her eyes wide. Yu Haiying nodded. "Really?" Qiao Hong asked again. Yu Haiying nodded again. Qiao Hong looked at the unshaven Yu Haiying, touched his face distressedly, and said, "Go back and see me, why don't you even shave your beard..." Yu Haiying hugged Qiao Hong, and Qiao Hong fell into Yu Haiying's arms emotionally. "I really miss you, I have wronged you these years." Yu Haiying said very sincerely.

"Haiying, I won't fight with you anymore, I want to accompany you and always be with you." Qiao Hong's eye circles turned red, and Yu Haiying's eyes also became moist. "Tell you, I won't leave this time." Qiao Hong said. Yu Haiying was taken aback, then slowly pushed Qiao Hong away, and asked, "What did you say?" Qiao Hong didn't speak, turned around and took out a portfolio from her backpack and handed it to Yu Haiying, saying, "I've changed my job." "Changed jobs?" Yu Haiying took it over and looked at it, but was speechless for a long time.

At dusk, by the sea, the setting sun gives the beauty of the beach a layer of gold. Outside the bamboo building, Luo Jing walked out of the back door of the car wearing high heels, a tight-fitting skirt, and heavy makeup. Lu Tao walked up to Luo Jing, looked at Luo Jing awkwardly, frowned, thinking, this era is really a changeable one, even Luo Jing has started to put on makeup, which is a big improvement. "Why do you look at him like this? If you look at me like this again, I won't be confident anymore." Luo Jing said, covering her mouth with bright lipstick. Lu Tao shook his head and continued to walk forward. Luo Jing ran two steps to catch up and said, "Hey, do you think I can dress up well?"

"Okay. You're like a cat instead of a tiger." Lu Tao left without looking back. Luo Jing embarrassedly took out her handkerchief and wiped off her lipstick. Xanadu Seafood Restaurant is backed by mountains and facing the sea, and is composed of bamboo pavilions.Diners can enjoy the delicious seafood while enjoying the beautiful sea view. It is a very romantic place.Lu Tao decided to give Qiao Hong the reception banquet here, which was completely based on Qiao Hong's personality. Not long after Lu Tao and Luo Jing arrived, Yu Haiying and Qiao Hong arrived.Qiao Hong ran over with a smile all over her face, followed by Yu Haiying.Qiao Hong and Luo Jing embraced warmly, and the two women who reunited after a long absence couldn't be less excited.

Luo Jing: "Qiao Hong, I really admire you. You don't need to make a phone call, and you will arrive as soon as you talk." Qiao Hong: "Do you feel a little sudden?" Luo Jing: "It's too sudden." Yu Haiying: "Our Qiao Hong is a doctor in a field hospital. It's normal to do some surprise attacks. Well, fortunately, Qiao Hong is not a surgeon. I don’t know how many people’s feet and hands will be amputated by her wrong diagnosis.” Yu Haiying's cold humor made all four of them laugh. Lu Tao cast a glance at Yu Haiying, came over to shake hands with Qiao Hong, and said with something in his words: "Qiao Hong, if you don't come again, your Yu Haiying's spirit will be in trouble."

Qiao Hong was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What could go wrong?" Lu Tao sneered and said, "Yin and Yang are out of balance." Yu Haiying replied to Lu Tao: "You are the one who is out of balance." Both women covered their mouths and smiled. Qiao Hong: "Yu Haiying, don't be so stubborn. Without your wife around, some people jump up and down in a hurry all day long, and almost became a defendant once. A while ago, they stayed behind closed doors and didn't even want a new house. problem." Yu Haiying looked at Lu Tao and suddenly realized: "So I have spies by my side."

"If I don't report it in time, some comrades may be in a hurry one day, and it may be difficult to say that I will be shot!" Lu Tao said evasively. The four sat down talking and laughing. Luo Jing asked: "Qiao Hong, are you really not leaving this time?" Qiao Hong: "I'm not leaving, I surrender!" Luo Jing looked at Qiao Hong in surprise, and then at Yu Haiying. Qiao Hong: "You don't believe it?" Luo Jing: "I believe." Lu Tao: "Qiao Hong, you have really changed a lot, it seems like a different person." Qiao Hong: "You are old, you should be more mature."

Lu Tao smiled: "Yes, I am old, twenty this year, eighteen next year." Qiao Hong also smiled. Luo Jing asked with concern: "I heard that you have gone through the formalities for changing jobs, the next job..." Luo Jing was about to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Lu Tao, who said: "Luo Jing, don't worry about it, Chief of Staff Yu manages the troops with thousands of people in order, and even I was tamed by him. , let alone the trivial matter of finding a job for my wife, huh?" Speaking of which, Lu Tao glanced at Yu Haiying, and Yu Haiying also stared at Lu Tao, without saying a word.

Looking at the two of them, Qiao Hong seemed to feel that they were ridiculing each other. Luo Jing realized Qiao Hong's vigilance and touched Lu Tao with her arm.Lu Tao immediately stood up, got down to business, and said: "In order to warmly welcome Comrade Qiao Hong to live and work in our small border city, I will give you a gift on behalf of the detachment." Speaking of which, Lu Tao took out a key from his pocket, shook it in front of Yu Haiying, and said, "Yu Haiying, I will give your key to Qiao Hong." Yu Haiying said helplessly, "Then who else do you want to hand it over to?" Yu Haiying moved into a new home. In the evening, Yu Haiying and Qiao Hong were packing up their new home. Yu Haiying was moving things. Qiao Hong asked while hanging clothes in the closet, "What happened between you and Lu Tao?" "It's nothing." Yu Haiying didn't stop what he was doing. Qiao Hong: "Don't think I can't see it, the two of you are enemies at all." Yu Haiying: "Didn't Lu Tao say it before, because of the imbalance of yin and yang, you have nothing to do now." Qiao Hong took a look at Yu Haiying, and threw a set of women's air force military uniform from the box on the bed, and Yu Haiying hurried up to pick it up and hang it in the closet. Qiao Hong stopped her and said, "Why hang it up? Put it in the box." Yu Haiying said in a daze: "Qiao Hong, you are wearing this military uniform well, why don't you just take it off?" Qiao Hong: "Don't you look at what age it is now." Yu Haiying: "What era? Military uniforms of any era are symbols of loftiness and holiness." Qiao Hong: "That's you, I don't think so." Yu Haiying glanced at Qiao Hong. Qiao Hong: "Nowadays, many excellent talents first choose to go to university, study abroad and start a business. If they fail, they choose to join the army. Isn't this an obvious fact?" Yu Haiying walked to the window with a displeased face, he felt that Qiao Hong had really changed. Qiao Hong: "Of course, you can wear the military uniform if you want. You wear the military uniform to defend the special zone, and I take off the military uniform to build the special zone. We are one family, two systems!" Yu Haiying looked out the window without saying a word, and a full moon in the night sky was slowly covered by dark clouds. Yu Haiying suddenly has one more thing, which is to find a job for Qiao Hong. He knows that Qiao Hong has been idle for too long, and it will inevitably cause trouble.Outside the government office building, there were crowds of people, and there was a lot of noise. People were desperately crowded in front of a window.Qiao Hong carried her bag and followed Yu Haiying to squeeze through the crowd, looking at the scene in front of them, they looked puzzled. A man in a business uniform stood on the steps in front of the window and announced to the long queue: "Everyone, don't squeeze, there are a total of 280 business licenses for today, and all of them have been issued. Come back next Wednesday." Bar……." People are still crowded and noisy. The corridors of the government office building were empty and deserted, in stark contrast to the scene outside the door. Yu Haiying and Qiao Hong were looking for something in the corridor. They stopped in front of a door. There were a lot of signs hanging on the door, such as the Office for Displacement of Military Cadres, Women's Federation, and Youth and Children Development Foundation. Yu Haiying hesitated for a while. , Push the door and go in. "Who are you looking for?" a staff member asked them. Yu Haiying: "Is this the military transfer office?" "Yes!" The staff led them to an old man wearing glasses and said, "Talk to him if you have anything to say." Yu Haiying and Qiao Hong looked suspiciously at this empty house full of desks. The old man pulled out two stools very politely and said, "Do you think it's so lively outside, but it's too deserted here?" Yu Haiying nodded noncommittally. The old man said: "That's right. Now the whole party focuses on economic construction." He pointed to a stool and asked them to sit down. Yu Haiying asked Qiao Hong to take out the letter of introduction, and Qiao Hong handed a bunch of materials to the old man.The old man looked at the materials and said, "Do you know why it's hot outside and why it's cold here?" Yu Haiying shook his head. The old man: "It seems that you don't know much about the situation in this city. Let me tell you about it now. The government attaches great importance to the resettlement of demobilized soldiers and has introduced a number of preferential policies. You all know about this, right?" Yu Haiying hurriedly replied: "I know." The old man: "However, our Jinlan is conducting a pilot system reform, which means that the organization is simplified. As a result, there are very few civil servant positions, and it is very difficult for us to arrange jobs. Therefore, many demobilized soldiers choose to retain their public positions and choose their own jobs. In the same way, I went to swim in the sea by myself. Do you understand what I mean?" Yu Haiying glanced at Qiao Hong and said, "I understand." Qiao Hong smiled absently. The old man: "Right now, the SAR is hot every day. Real estate is hot, stocks are hot, and business is hot. You came to see the door just now. That's applying for a license to start a company, which is also called a business fever." Yu Haiying interjected: "Comrade, can you please see if there are any units that are short of people?" The old man opened the letter of introduction and resume to look at it, and then opened a registration book to look it up. After a while, he said: "Comrade Qiao Hong still has professional skills, so it will be easy to handle, and there is a place to squeeze in." Yu Haiying hurriedly asked, "Where?" "The Bailong Neighborhood Committee is short of a family planning promoter," said the old man. Yu Haiying was stunned for a moment, then turned to look for Qiao Hong, who had already left at some point. In front of the securities company, a few people were secretly exchanging foreign currency furtively. Yu Haiying ran over in a panic and looked around, but Qiao Hong was nowhere to be seen. A "scalper" walked towards Yu Haiying, stopped Yu Haiying, and asked him in a low voice: "Brother, do you have original shares? I'll buy them at a high price." "No!" "Is there foreign exchange?" Yu Haiying replied impatiently: "No!" "Then what do you have?" The scalper asked again. "I have a gun and bullets, do you dare to ask for it?" The scalper ran away in fright. night. In the living room of Haiying's new home, the TV has been replaced with a 25-inch large color TV, and various commercial news are being broadcast on the screen. Joe, with wet hair and a sullen face, was watching TV, constantly changing the channel. Yu Haiying came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, walked to Qiao Hong, and sat down. Qiao Hong didn't say a word, Yu Haiying had nothing to say with Qiao Hong, he said: "The colored ones are better than the black and white ones." Qiao Hong ignored Haiying and continued to switch channels. "The old man's words today are quite interesting." Qiao Hong sneered and said, "It seems that you have some mental problems!" "What's my problem? Shouldn't soldiers be considerate of the government's difficulties?" Yu Haiying took the remote control in Qiao Hong's hand, turned off the TV, and said, "What do you think?" Qiao Hong said coldly: "Should!" She grabbed the remote control and turned on the TV again, saying, "I'm not a soldier anymore, please be considerate of my difficulties first." "Am I not in contact?" "Is there such a connection? You are completely business-like, dealing with errands. Your wife, a chief physician and deputy regimental cadre, is going to be a family planning propagandist? Don't you think it's a bit cheap?" "You can't be in a hurry here, stay at home for a while, things have to be done step by step!" Yu Haiying comforted. "You want me to stay at home and be your nanny! Let me tell you, that's impossible!" As he spoke, he turned off the TV, threw the remote control aside, and walked towards the door. "Why are you going?" "I'm looking for a job!" After Qiao Hong finished speaking, she pulled the door out and knocked on the door of Lu Tao's house. Yu Haiying hurried forward and pulled Qiao Hong home. He was about to close the door when the opposite door opened. Luo Jing stood at the door and asked, "Haiying, what's the matter?" ?” Yu Haiying smiled and said, "It's okay, sister-in-law." "If you have something to do, say hello." "It's okay." After finishing speaking, Yu Haiying closed the door, turned around and said to Qiao Hong, "Don't bother Lu Tao, he is already busy enough. I can solve this matter, listen to me..." Qiao Hong ignored Haiying, walked straight into the bedroom, and closed the door forcefully. Yu Haiying chased after him and knocked on the door, but the inside wouldn't open.He picked up the remote control, turned on the TV to change channels, and suddenly he was attracted by the content of the TV. It turned out that the first Gulf War was being played live on the TV. Yu Haiying suddenly became excited, walked outside the bedroom door, knocked on the door violently, and said, "Qiao Hong, open the door quickly! The Gulf War broke out!" Qiao Hong opened the door and asked, "What did you say?" "The United States and Iraq are at war!" As Yu Haiying said, he ran into the house, took off the camouflage uniform, helmet, and belt hanging on the coat rack, dressed neatly, and rushed out the door. In the detachment compound in the night, the emergency assembly horn sounded suddenly. Soldiers ran to gather on the playground. Yu Haiying, Xiao Mingliang, and Lu Tao walked out of the office building side by side and came to the playground. The team had already lined up. Xiao Mingliang walked to the front of the team and started to mobilize. He said: "Comrades have seen it on TV. The Gulf War broke out today! So, the war is likely to happen when we are sleeping, drinking tea and chatting. Our girlfriend and I broke out when we spent the last month. As soldiers, we must maintain a high degree of vigilance and be ready to defend the country at any time. Today's emergency assembly is to give everyone a vaccination. Next, please comment on the Chief of Staff!" Yu Haiying stepped forward, looked around the team, and after a while, he firmly shouted the slogan: "Be vigilant and defend the motherland..." The officers and soldiers shouted in unison: "Be vigilant and defend the motherland..." Slogans resounded through the night sky. Luo Jing came out of the kitchen and put the dishes on the table. Lu Tao is watching the TV news of the Gulf War. "Let's eat." Luo Jing said. "En." Lu Tao nodded, still watching. "The United States is attacking Iraq. What kind of emergency assembly did you do last night?" Luo Jing asked. "Be vigilant and defend the motherland." What else did Luo Jing want to ask, there was a knock on the door, Luo Jing hurried to open the door, and Yu Haiying stood at the door. Luo Jing hurriedly greeted: "Hai Ying, come in quickly." Yu Haiying looked around the room and said, "I want to ask my sister-in-law, have you seen our Qiao Hong?" Luo Jing glanced at Lu Tao and said, "I didn't see you! Is there no one cooking, come in and eat together." Yu Haiying: "No, I've already prepared the meal." Lu Tao came over and asked, "Yu Haiying, Qiao Hong didn't say hello to you when she went out, did she get into trouble with him again?" "No no." "Yu Haiying, let me tell you, he just came here, if you bully him, be careful that my mother's family will take care of you." After speaking, Lu Tao turned his head and returned to the dining table. "With a natal family like you, I can't turn over in my life." Saying hello to Luo Jing, she turned and walked downstairs. Luo Jing poked her head out for a look, closed the door and entered the room, walked to the dining table, and said, "Lu Tao, why are you talking to Haiying like that?" Lu Tao: "Then how do you talk?" Luo Jing sat down, took two mouthfuls of food, and said, "Why do I feel that this house has moved closer, but you two brothers are far away." Lu Tao ate without raising his head, and said, "Oh, let's go as far away as possible." The sun was shining directly, and the heat wave rose on the ground at the entrance of the family courtyard, blurring the distant street scene. There were no pedestrians on the street, and Yu Haiying waited anxiously under the big tree. A taxi came, and Qiao Hong got out of the car carrying two coconuts.Yu Haiying stepped forward to take the coconut and asked, "Where have you been on this hot day?" Qiao Hong had a bright face and said, "Didn't you see, I went to buy coconuts." She shook the coconut in her hand and left. Yu Haiying followed Qiao Hong upstairs. After entering the door, Yu Haiying put two big coconuts on the table and said, "It's such a heavy thing, just buy one." "Then what do you drink!" Yu Haiying laughed as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly lifted the bamboo cover on the dining table, saying: "The leader was still cloudy yesterday, why is it cloudless today?" After washing her hands, Qiao Hong glanced at Yu Haiying with a smile, sat at the table, picked up the meal and ate it. Yu Haiying stepped forward and said, "Isn't the work problem solved?" Qiao Hong said proudly: "Do you think I can't do anything without you? Let me tell you, Yu Haiying, not only did he find a job, but he also asked me to be the vice president." Yu Haiying asked in surprise, "Really?" After finishing speaking, he picked up the meal and started to eat, and then said: "It can't be the swollen face to pretend to be fat, the swelling on the face?" Qiao Hong: "Yu Haiying, don't underestimate people, your wife is no worse than you!" Yu Haiying: "Okay, okay, I believe it! Could it be a help to the door......" Qiao Hong stood up suddenly, picked up a newspaper from the coffee table and handed it to Yu Haiying, saying, "I found it myself!" Yu Haiying took the newspaper and looked at it. It was full of recruitment advertisements, and several information on it had been drawn with red pen. Yu Haiying raised his head and asked, "Have you applied for the job?" Qiao Hong: "Of course, it's up to you whether or not this matter will work out now." Yu Haiying asked inexplicably, "Look at me?" Qiao Hong: "That's right, people say that as long as you make a phone call, the matter will be settled!" Qiao Hong put down her job and went to make a call. Yu Haiying: "What is the opponent's unit?" Qiao Hong: "Cultural Company." "Culture?!" Yu Haiying felt as if he had been stabbed by a needle when he heard the word "culture", and he pressed Qiao Hong's phone. Yu Haiying: "Tell me first, what kind of culture are they engaging in?" Qiao Hong: "Culture is culture, what kind of culture can there be?" Yu Haiying: "This is not the same. You didn't understand when you first arrived, but now there are a lot of tricks and tricks." Qiao Hong was in a hurry: "What kind of sheep's head dog meat!" As he spoke, he pushed away Yu Haiying's hand and continued to dial the phone. Yu Haiying pressed the phone again. Yu Haiying: "Do you really believe that there will be pies in the sky? Let me tell you, there has never been a free lunch in the SAR." Qiao Hong: "There is no free lunch in the world." Yu Haiying: "Yes, the army has it!" Qiao Hong: "You just like to sing high notes. Why didn't you take Li Shuangjiang as your teacher and learn tenor?" Yu Haiying was about to say something, but Qiao Hong interrupted him and said, "Don't talk so much, are you going to make a call or not?" Yu Haiying: "Good, good, hit, hit, hit." Qiao Hong dialed the phone and said, "Mr. Gao, our guy is back. Wait a minute." Yu Haiying answered the phone helplessly, and asked, "I'm Yu Haiying, Qiao Hong is going to your place, do you have any requests..." Qiao Hong looked at Yu Haiying. Yu Haiying listened, listened, his expression changed, he said: "I'm sorry, this is impossible!" Then he hung up the phone with a bang. "What's wrong?" Qiao Hong asked. Yu Haiying stood up, looked at Qiao Hong, and said, "I'm not telling you that there will be no pies in the sky." "What exactly do they want?" Qiao Hong continued to ask. Yu Haiying said excitedly: "They asked me to send soldiers to hang around nightclubs every now and then. Do you think it's possible?" Qiao Hong opened her mouth halfway, unable to speak. A TV was temporarily placed on the table in the canteen of the detachment. In the early morning, the news of the war between the United States and Iraq was being broadcast on the TV, and the officers and soldiers gathered around to watch with their rice bowls. A major lamented: "This is simply a game of mouse and cat." Lieutenant: "Iraq is too unbeaten, it surrendered in just a few days!" Captain: "The disparity between high school students and kindergarten children is too great!" Lu Tao interjected, "What does this war show?" Everyone, look at me and I look at you. After a while, the major replied: "This means that if you are backward, you will be beaten! Modern warfare is about economic strength and high technology! Do you know how much a missile costs, hundreds of thousands? ! So we need to build up the material foundation.” Lu Tao looked at the major and smiled with satisfaction. Xiao Mingliang came here after eating. Lieutenant: "Everything is done well, and soldiers who don't know how to fight are equal to zero." Major: "Then you take a millet plus a rifle and go to fight other people's aircraft missiles." Captain: "No matter how good your equipment is, what's the use of all the soldiers becoming traitors?" Major: "You came here specifically to argue with me. I think you were full early in the morning." The cadres suddenly stopped talking when they saw the political commissar standing behind them. Xiao Mingliang said: "The discussion was very lively, why don't you talk about it?" Major: "Commissar, we are talking nonsense." After speaking, everyone left one after another. Lu Tao stood up and looked around, and said, "Hey, why didn't you see the chief of staff come to eat? It will be even more lively if he is here." Xiao Mingliang: "Old Lu, the affairs of Mrs. Jun's company may have to be postponed until tomorrow. Haiying asked for leave today." Lu Tao: "Oh, it's rare to ask for leave." Ever since Liu changed his job to the bank, Yu Haiying hadn't contacted him.But now because of Qiao Hong's job problem, the "Gulf War" at Yu Haiying's family was on the verge of breaking out, so he bit the bullet and went to Liu again, but unexpectedly encountered another setback. Yu Haiying came out angrily from the bank, and Liu chased after him, shouting, "Haiying, wait a minute." Yu Haiying stopped in his tracks. "Right now, the bank is a popular unit, so many people can't get in because it's too crowded. This matter can't be rushed, how can everything be done at once?" "Isn't he just a little director in charge of personnel affairs? Look at his humming style, what kind of attitude he has towards demobilized soldiers!" "It's not about attitude, it's about this..." Da Liu was gesticulating with banknotes as he spoke. "What?" Yu Haiying asked in surprise. "Bills." "So, when you changed jobs here, you also gave money?" Da Liu smiled and said, "Why are you thinking about it? Didn't I tell you the rules of doing things now? It's called unspoken rules." Yu Haiying looked at Da Liu blankly. In the evening, Qiao Hong was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and the TV was broadcasting the news of the opening of another commercial building. Yu Haiying opened the door and came in, with a tired face, Qiao Hong glanced at Yu Haiying and said, "Have you had enough to eat and drink outside?" Yu Haiying took off his shoes and walked over, saying, "Oh, how did people become like this?" Qiao Hong: "Who are you talking about?" Yu Haiying immediately came back to his senses and said, "Oh, I didn't say anything to anyone." "There is food on the table for you, eat it if you don't have it," Qiao Hong said. Yu Haiying picked up the rice on the table and ate like a storm. Qiao Hong glanced at it, got up and went to Yu Haiying, and said, "Slow down, be careful not to choke." After speaking, he walked into the kitchen, followed by Yu Haiying carrying the bowl. Qiao Hong poured lotus seed and white fungus soup into the bowl. Yu Haiying asked in surprise: "Lotus seed and white fungus soup is often drunk by southerners. Where did you learn this skill?" "Luo Jing made it." He brought out the soup, put it on the table, went back to the house and sat on the sofa, and Yu Haiying followed him out again. Yu Haiying asked: "Did you go out today?" Qiao Hong: "Where do you want me to go? Here, I have no relatives except you." Yu Haiying: "Why don't you ask me how things are going?" Qiao Hong: "What are you asking, anyway, I have already given myself to you, and everything is arranged by the head of our family. Wherever you let me go, I will go there." Yu Haiying was moved, put down the bowl in his hand, moved closer, hugged Qiao Hong in his arms, comforted her and said, "Qiao Hong, don't worry about this, I will find a way." Qiao Hong pushed Yu Haiying away, stood up and said, "Who is in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry." She said and walked to the bedroom. Special Service Squadron Training Ground.Zhang Wu signed sign language to the soldiers hidden on the roof. Several soldiers with guns flew down from the roof with ropes in their hands and shot fiercely at a window. Yu Haiying stuck the stopwatch to mark the time, he suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Stop! Zhang Wu, your action is two seconds late, no, try again!" Zhang Wu commanded the soldiers to climb to the roof again. Xiao Mingliang came and stood not far behind Yu Haiying and shouted, "Yu Haiying." Yu Haiying turned around and walked over. Seeing that it was Xiao Mingliang, he hurriedly asked, "Political Commissar, what's the matter?" "Did Qiao Hong encounter difficulties in her job placement?" Xiao Mingliang asked. "It's okay, Qiao Hong just wants to find a suitable job, and we can overcome difficulties." "I am not only your political commissar, but also your big brother. If you have any difficulties, you must tell me." Yu Haiying nodded gratefully. Xiao Mingliang: "If you don't ask Lao Lu to help, he is very familiar with Jinlan and has a lot of connections. This matter should not be difficult for him." "No need, I'll figure it out myself." When Yu Haiying said this, he lacked confidence, but he didn't want to ask Lu Tao, he didn't want to lose face in front of Qiao Hong. At dusk, at the gate of the school, a group of elementary school students lined up singing songs, waving goodbye to Luo Jing, and Qiao Hong also waved happily to the children. A boy with big eyes came over holding a stack of homework and handed it to Luo Jing. Qiao Hong stroked the boy's head lovingly. The boy saluted and ran into the queue. "Qiao Hong, it's time for you to have a baby." Luo Jing said. "When I first got married, I always quarreled and didn't dare to have children. Later, when I wanted children, he left again. Then we got into trouble again, alas! It's better for you two." "What's the matter? The child is in Beijing. I haven't seen each other for a year. It's like it's not my own. I want to take him over. The education conditions here are not as good as in Beijing. I'm afraid of delaying the child. Don't take it. I always follow my grandparents. I really think about it." Luo Jing pulled Qiao Hong and walked towards the office. Qiao Hong hesitated for a moment and said, "You should be busy, or I'll leave first." Luo Jing grabbed Qiao Hong, smiled and said, "You can't go, it's my task to accompany you." Qiao Hong: "If it's a mission, don't accompany me." Luo Jing: "Actually, I'm worried that you'll be annoying if you stay here. When I first came here, I didn't arrange a job for two years. At that time, I was so anxious that my face was covered with pimples. I even had a fight with Lu Tao." But one evening, I went out to buy a SAR newspaper, and saw a well-mannered middle-aged man selling the newspaper. Out of curiosity, I asked him what he did before he came to SAR? He said he was a student of the Chinese Department of a university. Professor! After returning home, my mentality immediately calmed down. I think that professors in other universities can sell newspapers, so what if I wait a while?" Qiao Hong: "Actually, I'm not in a hurry!" Luo Jing: "Qiao Hong, I don't mean anything else, I'm just afraid that you two will quarrel. Haiying is not sociable, except for military affairs, he basically doesn't interact with the outside world. So he will definitely encounter difficulties in work arrangements .But based on your ability and quality, it is absolutely no problem to find a job in the special zone!" Qiao Hong: "I have this self-confidence. If Yu Haiying didn't stop me time and time again, I would have been vice president three times already." In the evening, Yu Haiying jumped out of the jeep, carrying a pile of food and two bottles of red wine, happily ran to the door of the house, knocked on the door quickly, but there was no movement in the house. At this time, the door of Lu Tao's house across the way opened, and Qiao Hong came out to see Yu Haiying took a look and asked, "What are you doing?" "You open the door first!" Qiao Hong and Luo Jing greeted each other and went to open the door. Luo Jing stood at the door and said, "Haiying, is there a happy event?" Yu Haiying smiled and said, "Yes! Congratulations, sister-in-law, is Lu Tao back? Let's congratulate, congratulate." Luo Jing: "I haven't come back yet, share the happy event between the two of you slowly, and I won't bother you." After speaking, she closed the door. Yu Haiying put the bought food on the table, Qiao Hong closed the door: "What happy event?" Yu Haiying poured the red wine into the goblet and said, "Your job is settled, this is not the biggest happy event for our family." Qiao Hong said indifferently, "Really?" Yu Haiying: "Of course. This time I implement the 'Three Guarantees', guarantee your satisfaction, guarantee your satisfaction, and return the goods if you are not satisfied." Qiao Hong: "Shut up, where did you send me?" Yu Haiying took out a form from his briefcase and held it in his hand: "For this matter, I must first thank the party." Qiao Hong: "You sing high-profile again." Yu Haiying: "It's not about singing high-profile, without the concern of the political commissar, this matter can't be done even if you ask someone for money." Qiao Hong grabbed the form and said softly, "People's Hospital, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology." Yu Haiying was triumphant, and said: "How about it, professional counterparts, and a national unit, how safe it is!" Qiao Hong snorted, threw the form on the table, and said, "I'll go to you." Monk Yu Haiying Zhang Er was puzzled: "What do you mean?" Qiao Hong raised her voice and said, "If I still go to the hospital, do I still need to change jobs and come here?" Yu Haiying: "Then what do you want to do?" Qiao Hong: "I'm here to break into the special zone, not to spend my old age in peace." Yu Haiying: "My eldest lady, you are in the special zone now, what are you going to do?" Qiao Hong looked at Yu Haiying expressionlessly, and left without saying a word. At the gate of a newly opened company, the military band played festive music, and the listing ceremony of the "Military Wives Training Base" was going on. After the ceremony, Lu Tao accompanied Qiu Yongxing down the steps, followed by Xiao Mingliang and Yu Haiying. Xiao Mingliang turned around and asked Yu Haiying, "Is Qiao Hong satisfied with her job?" Yu Haiying hurriedly said: "Satisfied, satisfied, thank you political commissar." After Xiao Mingliang greeted the guests next to him, he got in the car and left. Yu Haiying went to look for Lu Tao with a heavy heart, saw Qiu Yongxing and Lu Tao having a lively conversation, hesitated for a while, saw Lu Tao shaking hands with Qiu Yongxing, and then walked over. "Yu Haiying, what's the matter?" Lu Tao asked. Yu Haiying hesitated and said, "Nothing? It's just..." "What is it! Hasn't Qiao Hong's matter been resolved under the care of the party?" Said that Lu Tao was about to get in the car when he walked to the side of the car, but Yu Haiying stood beside him without moving.Lu Tao asked strangely: "Is there anything else?" Yu Haiying: "I heard that Mrs. Jun's company will cooperate with Boss Qiu in real estate. We have to be careful about this matter!" Lu Tao asked dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter?" Yu Haiying: "You and I are not pigs, we can't remember to eat or beat!" "I think you were bitten by a snake once, and you are afraid of well ropes for ten years." Lu Tao glanced at Yu Haiying, got into the car, and was about to leave. Yu Haiying opened the door of the passenger seat. "What happened to you today, kid?" Lu Tao asked again. Yu Haiying sat up without saying a word, closed the door, and the car drove away. Cars drive on the street. Yu Haiying sat in the passenger seat, glanced at Lu Tao who was driving, and said, "Qiao Hong didn't look for you a while ago, mainly because he was afraid of causing trouble for you." Lu Tao: "It doesn't matter who you are looking for, as long as it is resolved." Yu Haiying: "It is really impossible to solve it now." Lu Tao: "But, there is nothing I can do about this matter!" Yu Haiying: "Although Qiao Hong is my wife, she is also your child. You must help me with this favor." Lu Tao: "Your Miss Qiao won't come here, and she won't go there. She may not be willing to condescend to this company of military wives. I'm afraid I really can't help with this." Yu Haiying: "As long as you tell her not to make trouble, she can go anywhere." Lu Tao smiled: "Who told you to marry a young lady, is it hard to serve?" Yu Haiying glanced at Lu Tao and was speechless for a while. Lu Tao: "I heard that today is Zhang Wu's birthday?" Yu Haiying thought for a while and said, "Yes." In the coffee shop, there was a box of unopened birthday cakes on the table. Yu Haiying, Zhang Wu and several soldiers sat around together. Yu Haiying smiled and said to Zhang Wu: "Happy birthday to you! This is what the detachment means. " Zhang Wu and a few comrades stood up quickly, and Zhang Wu said softly, "Thank you, Chief of Staff." Yu Haiying: "You boy is easy for me to find, why did you come here to engage in romance?" Zhang Wu was about to explain, when Han Fei came over with a bottle of foreign wine and a birthday cake, and said to Haiying, "Because you won't let me in." Yu Haiying smiled and said, "Oh, it's Han Fei, it seems that you arranged this matter." Han Fei put the things in his hands on the table and said, "It's not convenient to go to the army, so I have to be here to make fun of my buddies! This place is our world tonight, everyone can play whatever you want." “听你这口气，看来是发了。”于海鹰问。 “哪里，也就是搞点儿房地产，炒个小股票。”说着韩非示意服务小姐给大家倒酒。 “参谋长，你不当老板，也可以炒炒股啊！现在的股市可是祖国山河一片红，买什么都赚。” “有赚就有赔，有赢就有输，是不是啊？”于海鹰说道。 "Theoretically yes." 于海鹰看到张武和战友们都不敢说话，站起了身说：“你们玩吧，我在这儿大家都放不开。” 说着于海鹰向门外走去，张武赶忙送出。 张武：“参谋长，韩非就这么个人，您可千万别生气啊。” 于海鹰：“没事儿。” 张武：“嫂子来了也没过去看看，她好吗？” 于海鹰：“没事儿。这么长时间了，李红梅有什么消息吗？” 张武没有回答，表情沉重起来。 Yu Haiying: "What's wrong?" 张武：“听韩非说，有人在市里见过她，可她没跟我联系过，我不知道出了什么事，也不知道去哪儿找她。” 于海鹰吃惊地问：“是吗？” 张武点了点头。 于海鹰：“哎！我现在可是深有体会啊，不见面想念，见了面麻烦。” 说完，上车走了。 于海鹰莫名其妙的感慨让张武一头雾水。 于海鹰回到家，看见乔红手里端着两盘菜，唱着《在希望的田野上》从厨房走了出来，顿时觉得气氛不对。又看到一桌丰盛的酒菜，他更感到十分诧异。 乔红瞪了于海鹰一眼，说：“看什么看？”语气却按捺不住兴奋，说完又唱着去拿碗筷。 于海鹰不解地看着乔红把碗筷放在桌上，问：“你这是……” 乔红：“免费的午餐，不过是最后一顿。” 于海鹰：“最后一顿？” 乔红：“从明天起你去吃你的食堂，本小姐要上班了。” 于海鹰：“上班？” 乔红从包里掏出名片，摔在于海鹰面前，有点夸耀的样子，说：“这次不是浮肿，是真正的副总！” 于海鹰拿起面前的名片，仔细看了看：“这个公司的名字怎么那么熟？乔副总，你的老总是谁？” 乔红笑得一脸灿烂，说：“保密！” 她倒了两杯葡萄酒，又说：“这次我可把我这个麻烦给你甩了，你还不庆贺一下？” “该，当然该。” 于海鹰稀里糊涂地端起酒杯与乔红碰了一下，一饮而尽。他觉得这事儿还是有些问题。 第二天一早，乔红早餐也没吃就走了。 于海鹰在办公室里拿着乔红的名片正打电话，听筒里传来占线声。 有人喊报告。 “进来。”于海鹰说道。 一名干部手里拿着一份文件走过来，说：“参谋长，这是上周的查勤通报。” 于海鹰放下电话说：“好，放这吧。” 干部将文件放在桌上走了，于海鹰又拨了一下电话，通了。他问：“请问是环球开发实业公司吗？” "Yes." The other party replied. 黄昏，乔红从一幢豪华的写字楼里走出来，刚下台阶，就听到汽车鸣笛，她循声望去，看见于海鹰从车内探出头来向招手。 乔红走到车旁，问：“你怎么到这儿来了？” “乔副总第一天上班，接接还是应该的嘛。” 乔红高兴地钻进车里，笑着说：“你不是接我，是怕你老婆让羊头狗肉拐了去吧？” 于海鹰：“特区太大，我是怕你迷路回不了家。” 乔红：“你的话太深奥，我有点儿听不懂。” 于海鹰十分认真地对乔红说：“马上辞职！听懂了吧？” 乔红吃惊地看着于海鹰问：“辞职！为什么？” 于海鹰：“为什么你应该知道。” 乔红大笑：“我理解不了。” 于海鹰：“什么叫理解不了，韩非就是你老总，为什么不告诉我？” 乔红：“我是怕你心眼小，所以这事儿才不想让你知道。” 于海鹰：“听你这话的意思，不告诉我是为了我好？可是韩非那张嘴从来不会闲着，等全国人民都知道了，我还被蒙在鼓里呢，我还不成了真正的大傻冒。” 乔红：“那好，现在我告诉你了，总行了吧？” 于海鹰：“你不明白，韩非对我有气，一直没有机会发泄，这下你可成了他最有力的武器了。” 乔红：“于海鹰同志，那都是过去的事了，现在韩非先生是拥有千万资产的老板，不至于为过去的那点儿事计较吧？他告诉我，你可是他的大恩人啊。” 于海鹰哼了一声，没说什么。 夜里，陆涛听见对门乔红和于海鹰的吵闹声，犹疑了一下，开门出去，罗静跟着出来，他敲了半天，于海鹰才将门打开。 “你们别再吵了，参谋长同志，注意点影响好不好。”陆涛一本正经地说道。 乔红和于海鹰都没说话。 陆涛走进屋里对乔红说：“你先出去一下。” 罗静看了一眼陆涛，说：“你和海鹰……” 陆涛：“没事儿，你们俩都先出去，我和于海鹰有话说。” 罗静将乔红拉了出来，陆涛将门关上，点上一支烟，坐到沙发上，于海鹰依然站着。 “我知道你对韩非有看法，对陆涛同志也有意见，但是不要欺负人家乔红，好不好？” 于海鹰看了陆涛一眼，没说话。 陆涛不紧不慢地说：“于海鹰，是你亲口对我说只要乔红不闹，去哪儿都行。我是根据你的指示，才安排乔红去韩非那儿的，韩非以前是咱们的兵，乔红去他的公司毕竟有个照应，韩非那儿现在又缺人，乔红还就愿意当个副总，这样他们各取所需、皆大欢喜，有什么不好的？” 于海鹰：“你又不是不知道，乔红以前是干什么的，她只懂得往屁股上擦棉球，可你们一下居然把她抬举成了副总？乔副总到公司除了拿钱，她究竟能给人家干什么？我从来不相信天上会掉馅饼。我只相信种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆，多少耕耘多少收获！” 陆涛：“深刻！没想到于参谋长这么深刻。” 于海鹰：“难道不是吗？干一行爱一行，卖什么吆喝什么，人这一辈子能把自己热爱的那点儿事干好就不错了。” 陆涛：“听你这话的意思，把我们一块儿都批评了。” 于海鹰：“良药苦口利于病，忠言逆耳利于行。” 陆涛哑口无言。 于海鹰走到一边，背对陆涛，说：“可是有的人可是发高烧，生虚火，不误正业，胡乱折腾，什么话也听不进去，我看是兔子尾巴长不了。” 陆涛起身看了于海鹰一眼，冷冷地说：“你应该当政委了，不应该当参谋长！”说完，转身摔门而去。 于海鹰走过去将门拉开，罗静开门探头欲出来，被乔红一把拉进去，将门关上，于海鹰愣了，一回身，走到了阳台。 站在阳台上，可以看到特区繁华的夜晚，营区的熄灯号响了，于海鹰突然感到十分孤独。 清晨，支队食堂里，电视新闻正在播放深圳股票事件：愤怒的人群涌向证券公司，有的人打着“我们要公正、我们要股票”的横幅喊口号，有的人拿着砖头砸向玻璃……新闻解说：“8月15日，某市因股票发售中存在不公引起了巨大风波……” 一名少尉：“炒股，怎么这么大的魔力，都不要命了。” 中尉：“那当然了。前段时间给我开车的司机，他老爸是政府的一个小科长。前几年深圳发行股票时，单位动员大家买，大家都不敢买。他爸抓阄抓住了，只好买了一万股原始股。几年过去了，他老爸才想起了自己还有一万股股票呢，赶紧回去卖了。你们猜怎么着了？” 少尉：“不会作废了吧？” 中尉：“股票可不像过去的粮票布票会作废。我告诉你吧，那一万块钱，几年变成了一百万！” 大家齐声“啊！？”了一声。 肖明亮突然问：“真有这么玄？” 中尉：“现在很多人都辞职不干了，专职炒股呢。” 肖明亮：“所有的人？怪不得于参谋长说你的话，就像一块吸满水的抹布，能拧出半桶水来。” 中尉一脸真诚地说：“政委，这是真的，你知道现在本市电视台收视率最高的节目是什么吗？'谈股论金'，股就是股票的股，金就是黄金的金，股票就是黄金。” 肖明亮：“那就赶快拿着麻袋去装钱吧。” Everyone laughed. “政委。” 肖明亮循声看去，陆涛匆匆走来，边走边说：“刚接到市里的通知，让我们马上到市里面去参加个紧急会议。” 肖明亮：“什么内容？” 陆涛：“不太清楚？” 肖明亮：“赶紧给海鹰打个电话，咱们一块儿去。” 陆涛：“要打您打吧。”说着陆涛转身离去。 支队操场上，于海鹰疯狂地在打击沙袋，乔红的工作一而再，再而三地落实不了，他就安心不了。 张武从远处跑过来，说：“参谋长，政委找你有急事儿。” 于海鹰停了下来问：“什么事儿？” “车在门口等着呢，让你去市里开会。” 于海鹰擦了擦汗，拿起上衣向门口跑去。 陈然已经当上了副市长，他主持了今天市政府的圆桌会议。他的两旁坐着公安、武警、银行等政府职能部门的责任人，肖明亮、陆涛、于海鹰也在其中。 陈然：“……这次我市首次公开发行股票，不仅体现了中央对特区建设的支持，而且也是对我们这些特区管理者和守护者能力水平的一次检验。鉴于深圳因股票事件发生的骚乱，所以我希望各部门一定要从中吸取教训，总结经验。各职能部门要密切配合，拿出一个较为完善的发行方案。特别是武警部队担负股票认购券的守护、押运及现场秩序的维护，绝不能有半点闪失……” 于海鹰扭脸看了一眼陆涛和肖明亮。 清晨，乔红正在描眉化眼、打扮收拾，嘴里还哼着小曲。于海鹰凑了过来盯着镜子里的乔红。 乔红瞪了他一眼，说：“看什么看，天天看还没看够？” 于海鹰笑了笑：“乔大小姐，这是准备干什么去啊？” 乔红：“我已经从你的部下那里辞职了，面子给你留足了，现在我干什么，已经跟你没关系了吧。” 于海鹰：“可咱们俩还是有关系的，你是我老婆呀。” 乔红笑了笑：“是吗？” 说着换上高跟鞋，背上包，哼着小曲走出卧室。 于海鹰：“哎，你这到底是要去哪儿啊？” 乔红头也不回地开门出去了。 于海鹰急忙跑到窗口，推开窗户向下张望，看到乔红衣着艳丽，快步向门外走去。 于海鹰一脸的疑惑，不知道乔红葫芦里卖的什么药？乔红这种想起一出是一出的性格，实在是搞得他精疲力竭了。 虽然于海鹰不知道，但是乔红现在干的事儿，在于海鹰看来就更玄乎了。
