Chapter 49 Chapter Twelve (3)

As soon as the past was mentioned, Zhong Shanyue's face immediately became gloomy, and he couldn't help complaining: "Oh, I can't mention the good old days, but thinking about it now makes me panic, what the hell is this? Well, I can eat two big bowls for a meal, but I don’t have a job, so I’m just going to die like this.” Zhong Yuemin persuaded: "Dad, don't you have the same level, salary and housing? It's better not to arrange work. Isn't it good for you to go fishing and drink with old comrades in arms? I want to have your level of treatment, and I can't wait to lie down." Don't do it anymore, what good is being an official, I'm worried all day long."

"What do you mean? This is serving the people. How do you call being an official? I am still young and in good health. I have no other thoughts now. I just want to work for the party and the people for a few more years." Zhong Yuemin couldn't help laughing: "Dad, everyone understands that these reasons are too high-sounding. If you really want to work for the party and the people for a few more years, you can go to sweep the corridors and boil water, but you can't go to the neighborhood committee and those little feet. The detective team goes to stand guard, in short, there are many ways, and it doesn't have to be an official."

Zhong Shanyue didn't like to hear it anymore: "Fart, I'm a dignified deputy minister who went to the neighborhood committee to stand guard? You can figure it out." Zhong Yuemin said: "This is where the problem lies. Let alone going to the neighborhood committee, even if a deputy ministerial cadre is appointed as the director, he must jump up. Therefore, those who want to work for the party and the people for a few more years Cadres, their requirements for work are conditional, that is, they must ensure their original rank, and only under this premise can they work for the party and the people for a few more years."

"I was originally a deputy minister, and I didn't ask for an official from the organization to be promoted to a higher level. I just asked the organization to consider my ability and assign me a position that can play a role. This is not a high request. ?" "Then what if the organization thinks that you can play a role only by working in the neighborhood committee?" "You fart..." Zhong Shanyue was so angry that he didn't know what to say. Zhong Yuemin continued to say uninterestedly: "The problem is that China's officialdom has never been short of people, and all official positions are fully occupied. When you go to the toilet, when you come back, your seat may be occupied by someone else." Well, who doesn’t want to do a few more years of work for the party and the people? It’s hard enough for the Organization Department of the Central Committee. Even I just became a small platoon leader, thinking that the company commander will change jobs quickly so that I can make room for me. I also want to Carry more heavy burdens for the party and the people, to be honest, I don’t think the burden of a division commander or army commander is too heavy for me..."

Zhong Shanyue listened to Zhong Yuemin's words without saying a word, he got up and went to the kitchen, Zhong Yuemin watched his father's actions vigilantly... Zhong Shanyue came out after rummaging in the kitchen for a while. Zhong Yuemin ran out of the living room like a rabbit when he saw it. He clearly saw that his father was holding a rolling pin in his hand... Yuan Jun, Zhou Xiaobai, Zheng Tong, and Jiang Biyun were sitting in a restaurant in Moscow talking. They were waiting for Zhong Yuemin. Yuan Jun and Zhou Xiaobai had already put on their four-pocket military uniforms.

Zhou Xiaobai looked at his watch anxiously and said, "Will Yuemin stop coming?" Yuan Jun said: "No, he promised well on the phone yesterday. We haven't seen each other for several years, so it's time to catch up." Zheng Tong said bitterly: "This grandson is really dishonest. I sent him three letters on average, and he only replied one. He always said he was busy, as if he was the only one busy in the whole world." Jiang Biyun stared at Zhou Xiaobai. This was the first time she saw Zhou Xiaobai. She had heard Zhong Yuemin's ex-girlfriend for a long time. She was examining Zhou Xiaobai with a woman's critical eyes.

Zhou Xiaobai noticed that Jiang Biyun was staring at him, so he half-jokingly said: "You look at me a little bit, is my face full of vicissitudes?" Jiang Biyun smiled embarrassedly: "I'm curious. I heard about you when I first arrived in northern Shaanxi. I gave Zhong Yuemin several times your letters. Your handwriting is very beautiful. At that time, I still wanted to , this Zhou Xiaobai must be as beautiful as her handwriting, seeing you today is exactly as I imagined." Zhou Xiaobai said disheartenedly: "Thank you, but what's the use of being beautiful? Didn't you get dumped by Zhong Yuemin?"

Yuan Jun comforted: "Don't say that, everyone was still a student at that time, and they were very naive." Jiang Biyun said: "Yuan Jun is right. I am afraid that the love of youth is unreliable. There are too many variables. I had a good impression of Zhong Yuemin at the time. He is a nice big boy with a cute personality and a bad stomach. When the water is bad, it is not annoying, to be honest, I was a little tempted at that time, but I quickly dismissed this idea." Zhou Xiaobai asked very attentively: "Why?" Jiang Biyun smiled: "This is a man who can easily hurt women, like a bear breaking a stick and throwing it away at will. It's too unfair to women."

Zheng Tong said: "According to you, what is fairness?" "If you don't want this stick, it's better not to break it, let it grow well, and wait for someone who wants it to break it." Zheng Tong gave a smirk: "It's really a typical woman's thinking, but there is still such a situation, the bear doesn't care at all, because for the bear, breaking the stick is a hobby, and it doesn't have to be eaten, even if it is broken Let's play, but some sticks take it seriously, and take the initiative to stick their heads over. Of course, the bear will not refuse anyone, so the stick makes a further request, asking the bear to stop the habit of breaking the stick and only eat this stick for the rest of his life. Of course not."

Zhou Xiaobai scolded: "Zheng Tong, are you making fun of me in a corner? I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are still so bad?" Zhong Yuemin rode a bicycle to the gate of the Moscow restaurant. He was wearing a worn-out military uniform that had been washed white, with eye-catching patches on the knees of military trousers, and a pair of worn-out liberation shoes on his feet. He parked his bicycle at the storage place, and the depositor immediately asked him to deposit the fare first. Zhong Yuemin fumbled all over, but couldn't find any money, so he had to say sorry, "Sorry, I didn't bring any money, please wait." Now, I'll ask my friend to pay."

The keeper gave him a suspicious look and said, "Then hurry up." Zhong Yuemin walked into the glass revolving door and entered the hall, Yuan Jun and Zheng Tong excitedly greeted him, Yuan Jun opened his arms exaggeratedly to hug Zhong Yuemin. Zhong Yuemin said with a smile: "Yuan Jun, don't be too busy chatting, go to the door and pay the car deposit for me." Yuan Jun said in surprise: "Fuck, don't you even have two cents? Are you trying to make a fool of yourself?" Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong shook hands, and they chatted affectionately, while Zhou Xiaobai and Jiang Biyun stood at the dining table and watched them talking silently. Zhong Yuemin walked over quickly, and stretched out his hand to them: "Xiaobai, Jiang Biyun, how are you?" Jiang Biyun smiled: "I'm okay." Zhou Xiaobai said quietly, "I'm not good." Zhong Yuemin pretended not to hear, and said to Yuan Jun who walked into the hall: "Who is in charge today?" Yuan Jun said: "I am the host, everyone sit down." Zheng Tong smiled and said: "Guess what Yuan Jun did just now? He went to pay two cents for Zhong Yuemin to save the fare." Yuan Jun looked Zhong Yuemin up and down and said, "Yuemin is trying to make a fool of himself again. Look at his torn military uniform, and there are two brand new national defense green patches. This is probably a dress specially prepared for visiting relatives." Zhong Yuemin explained: "Who has the leisure to make a fool of yourself? I really only have this military uniform, and I don't even have a replacement. As soon as I wash my clothes, I hope it will dry quickly." Zheng Tong asked: "Did you exchange your military uniform for wine with fellow residents?" Zhong Yuemin explained: "I have a comrade-in-arms, his family is poor, and he has several younger brothers and sisters, and each of them can't fit a suit of clothes. Our comrades-in-arms helped him make up the uniform and sent it home. Only after sending it did we realize that we had forgotten it." There was only a change of clothes left for each person to wear. Zhang Haiyang was even more unlucky. He washed the only military uniform and hung it in the yard. At that time, veterans were demobilized. The military uniform was taken away, and this kid also refused. He just kept silent. The next morning we had a routine five-kilometer cross-country. He was wearing tattered fleece and fleece pants, carrying a gun and a bullet bag, and he seemed to be fine. He ran into the queue and almost drove the company commander crazy..." Everyone laughed, only Zhou Xiaobai didn't laugh. She was looking down at Zhong Yuemin's feet, and she found that Zhong Yuemin was wearing shoes and no socks. Zhou Xiaobai's eyes were red: "Why did you even give the socks to others?" "My comrade-in-arms family has too many people, and this is not enough. Last time his family sent a family photo, we were all happy to see it. The entire infantry squad was green, and his parents were wearing two pockets. The uniforms of the soldiers, like the principal and deputy squad leader, and younger brothers and sisters are all in new uniforms, like recruits who have just left the recruit company." Everyone laughed. "I said to my comrade-in-arms, don't worry, when we are all promoted, I will change your family's clothes, change into four-pocket cadre uniforms, and let your whole family be promoted, and then take a family photo at that time. It's not the group photo of the infantry squad, it's the group photo of the teaching team." Everyone laughed again. Jiang Biyun said: "You haven't changed at all, you are still the same Zhong Yuemin, you are always so optimistic wherever you go." Zhong Yuemin complimented: "You are getting more and more beautiful, and your temperament is very different from before. Do you know that Zheng Tong has been cheating on you for a long time, and I knew it as soon as I saw you today. It must be Zheng Tong who has Got it." Zheng Tong proudly boasted: "Of course, is there anything Zheng Tong can't do?" Zhong Yuemin said: "What trick did you use? Tell me about your experience." "Play hard to get." Jiang Biyun punched Zheng Tong and said: "Come on, don't blow it up, Zheng Tong was very disheartened for a while, and he even wanted to die. Can I just ignore it? I ended up getting myself involved." Zhong Yuemin asked, "Why didn't Luo Yun come?" Yuan Jun said: "He was recommended to go to university, and he has no contact with us. This person...how should I say it? Anyway, he has a lot of heart." Zhou Xiaobai gave Yuan Jun a sideways look: "Yuan Jun, it's not right for you to say that. Who was in love with her back then? You can't be so heartless once someone leaves." "Didn't I be confused for a while at the time, so I was hit by a sugar-coated bullet." Zhong Yuemin asked: "What are you talking about?" Yuan Jun said: "It's a long story, let's talk about it sometime."
