Quartermasters can also fight the devils

"Quartermaster Huo, brother, I have relatives in Jinling City. I think the shipping work cannot be completed in a short time. I would like to ask for leave from you to visit my relatives in Jinling City." Zhang Wenwu said, and took out a small red envelope he had prepared from his pocket and stuffed it into Huo Guoguang's pocket.

Huo Guoguang felt the red envelope in his pocket, his facial features almost squeezed together with a smile: "Oh, Deputy Director Zhang has relatives in Jinling City, so we should go and see them. It's not easy for us to come back and not visit our subordinates. Don't worry, Deputy Director Zhang, I will report to you."

According to the regulations, Zhang Wenwu cannot enter or leave the base gate at will. Before the materials are shipped, he cannot leave without special reasons. However, as long as it is not a special important confidential task, he can still leave after the normal leave application is approved. As for what is a "special" reason, the warehouse has the final say on this. However, when he returns, the responsible officer needs to go to the gate to pick him up.

After saying this, Huo Guoguang did not delay and ran to the duty room and called the warehouse security department. After explaining the situation, he hung up the phone and came over excitedly to inform Zhang Wenwu that it was done. He asked for the phone number where Zhang Wenwu could be found and the address of his relatives to be recorded in the filing documents.

"Deputy Director Zhang, you are very lucky. Just now, someone from the Security Department was going to the Military and Political Department of Jinling City to do some work. I applied for you to take their car and save time." Zhang Wenwu thought it was a good idea. He was just thinking about how to get to the city, and Huo Guoguang took care of it for him. He took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Huo Guoguang's pocket, thanking him repeatedly.

Huo Guoguang was so happy. He was pulled out by "Li Tiemian" to perform official duties today. He thought that he would never get anything from following "Li Tiemian", but he did not expect to get such a reward. As he was in a good mood, he assured Zhang Wenwu: "Deputy Director Zhang is too polite. If you need me in the future, you can always ask me. You can go to your relatives' house with peace of mind. You can rest assured that the brothers you brought with you have enough food and drink. In addition, you don't have to rush back. I estimate that you will not be able to move all the materials until tomorrow."

When Zhang Wenwu heard that it would take until tomorrow to complete the loading and unloading, he looked at Huo Guoguang in confusion, not knowing what he meant. Although the number of arms was large, there were about 180 people gathered there just now. They must be the people responsible for loading and unloading. It didn't have to be moved until tomorrow.

Seeing Zhang Wenwu's puzzled expression, Huo Guoguang felt a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Deputy Director Zhang, isn't this the responsibility of "Li Tiemian"? The brothers of the moving team..."

Although Huo Guoguang did not continue, Zhang Wenwu suddenly realized that "Li Tiemian" did not accept filial piety, so his subordinates would slack off. They would do the work that could be completed in one day slowly, and they would not be tired if they divided it into two days. This is the Republic of China version of "slacking off". Zhang Wenwu is familiar with this. This was his "specialty" before he came to the Republic of China. It turns out that he met a colleague in the same industry. As for whether the installation can be completed today, of course it can be completed, but it will cost "extra money".

Zhang Wenwu would not spend the money. Anyway, the division had not set a time limit, so he was not in a hurry. It was just right for him to have more rest.

After chatting with Huo Guoguang for about ten minutes, a truck stopped at the door of the lounge. An officer in the cab shouted to Huo Guoguang: "Brother Huo, where is the person you mentioned? Call him over, hurry up and leave."

Zhang Wenwu said nothing more. He greeted the officer and said that he was going to Nanjing. Then he got on the back of the car and waved to Huo Guoguang: "Then I'll trouble Quartermaster Huo."

Before Huo Guoguang could reply, the car drove out all of a sudden, and Zhang Wenwu almost couldn't stand still. He couldn't help but secretly greet the driver's relatives in his heart.

Zhang Wenwu got off the car two blocks away from his eldest brother's house, threw two packs of cigarettes into the driver's seat, simply said thank you, and then walked towards his eldest brother's house.

Jinling City was still very lively, with shops lined up along the roadside and stalls outside, with the sound of hawking constantly heard. There were many pedestrians on the street, and Zhang Wenwu also bought a box of assorted cakes from a cake shop. He thought that he had been eating and drinking for free at the expense of his elder brother and sister-in-law for several years, and now he was also a salaried person, so he had to buy something.

Zhang Wenwu came to his eldest brother's door with familiarity, rang the doorbell a few times, and then heard Aunt Feng's voice: "I'm here, I'm here."

"Wow" the small iron window on the big iron gate opened. Aunt Feng took a look and exclaimed: "Oh, it's the young master." So she quickly opened the iron gate and let Zhang Wenwu in.

"Aunt Feng, are my brother and sister-in-law here?" Zhang Wenwu asked as soon as he entered the room.

"Young Master, the eldest Master and the eldest Madam have gone to work and will not be back until the evening." Aunt Feng answered as she went to make tea.

"Okay, got it, Aunt Feng, you go do your thing, I'll go take a bath." Zhang Wenwu put the cake box on the table in the hall, and then went to his room. He had to take a good bath. Although he could take a simple bath in the army, he could only fetch water from a wooden bucket and wash himself. This was only when the weather was warm. If it was winter, he would freeze to death if he took a bath.

Zhang Wenwu took a change of shorts and went into the bathroom. Aunt Feng smiled and picked up the military uniform that Zhang Wenwu had thrown on the ground, searched out the items and money in the pocket, and took it to the laundry room to wash it.

After taking a comfortable bath and changing his clothes, Zhang Wenwu lay on the sofa and fell asleep unknowingly. He enjoyed this relaxed state very much.

He slept very deeply. When Zhang Wenwu opened his eyes and woke up, the sun had already set. He looked at the wall clock and saw that it was already 6:20. Zhang Wenwu sat up from the sofa and rubbed his cheeks with both hands, trying to wake himself up. At this moment, he heard Aunt Feng, who was busy in the front yard, saying, "The eldest young lady is back. The young master came back in the afternoon and is resting in the living room now."

"Is Wenwu back?" Sister-in-law Liu Ping's voice came over.

Zhang Wenwu quickly stood up and saw Liu Ping walking into the living room in military uniform. "Sister-in-law, you're off work." Zhang Wenwu quickly greeted her.

"Oh, sister-in-law, please take a good look. He has lost weight in the army after a month." Liu Ping looked at Zhang Wenwu and sighed.

"Sister-in-law, I'm not thin, I'm just getting stronger. Look." Zhang Wenwu raised his arms, showing his not-so-prominent muscles, which made Liu Ping laugh.

Liu Ping hurriedly asked Aunt Feng to cook, and waited for her husband Zhang Wenjun to come back before serving the meal, so as not to let Zhang Wenwu go hungry.
