Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 183 Two places to join the army

When he arrived at Wang Guohua's office, his eyes involuntarily looked at the several metal cabinets against the wall. There were good things in them, and they were not cleaned out yesterday.

Wang Guohua was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Little bastard, what are you looking at? Hurry up, take these two forms and get out!" Then he threw a file bag on the table.

Qin Dabao came over with a playful smile and picked up the file bag: "Uncle Wang, you are so angry. I just wanted to make you a cup of tea, didn't I?"

Wang Guohua was so irritated by Qin Dabao's shamelessness that he said, "Get the hell out of here! Do I need you to make tea for me?"

Qin Dabao was holding the file bag and lingered, refusing to leave. Wang Guohua knocked on the table and said, "What else do you want to do? If you do this to me again, you have to give me back what you took from me yesterday!"

Qin Dabao pouted and walked out of the office with his head down, cursing in his heart: I told you not to scold me! Next time I find a chance to clear out all your good stuff.

He walked out of Wang Guohua's office and rolled his eyes. It seemed that he had not helped to clean up his uncle's cabinet for a long time. So he turned around and went into the director's office.

As a result, someone was reporting in the director's office, and Qin Dabao ran away in shame under Lu Jianbang's murderous gaze.

When he returned to the Security Department, he saw Fatty Sun directing Wu Fan and Old Shen to wipe the tables and chairs for him. The fat guy was pointing and gesticulating like a leader more than him.

Qin Dabao thought about it and decided to go home first to discuss with his father who should get the two military places.

He had the idea of ​​joining the army after seeing Xiaogoudan that day. Xiaogoudan's engagement was not successful, and there was a sadness in the smile on his face. Dabao could see that he was a sensible child. His father died to protect Qin Qingyou. It was neither reasonable nor emotional for him to stand idly by. This heavy responsibility was not only on Qin Qingyou's heart, but also on the hearts of the old man and the old lady.

So when Dabao saw the sensible Goudan, he also felt that he should do something for Goudan. He also thought about getting a job for Goudan.

But after thinking about it, being a soldier is the best choice. Even if you don't get promoted after serving for a few years, you can still get a good job after demobilization. So Qin Dabao has always been very interested in it.

This time, with this opportunity to join the army, the fate of Goudan's family can be changed. This is the thing that Dabao is most willing to do.

He was scratching his head about who to give the other military enlistment quota to. He had to go home and discuss this with his parents.

He threw two packs of cigarettes to Sun Qian, told them he was going out to do something, and slipped out.

Dabao is very satisfied with his job in the Security Department. It is easy and does not require much responsibility. Now is not the time to change to spring and autumn clothes, and the Security Department has nothing to do, so it is a good time to find them some work.

. . . . .

When they returned to the courtyard, they learned that Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi had followed the truck sent by the steel mill, pulling Jia Dongxu's coffin back to the countryside. The Jia family's ancestral tomb was in the countryside, and according to the rules, Jia Dongxu had to be buried there.

Banggeng, as a male member of the Jia family, also went with them. Since he was going to the countryside to attend the funeral, it would probably take him a few days to come back. Qin Huairu entrusted Xiaodang to Lu Xiu'e, and Lu Xiu'e also took a few days off to go home and take care of Xiaodang.

Qin Qing had a rare break. He leaned on the quilt with his arm folded and listened to the radio, which was playing the Pingju opera "Flowers as Matchmakers".

Lu Xiu'e held Xiaodang and played on the kang.

Qin Dabao put the file bag on the table, turned around, picked up the thermos and poured a glass of water to drink.

"Dad, these are two enlistment quotas I asked someone from the Armed Forces Department to give. One is for Goudan, who do you think I should give the other one to?"

Qin Qingyou was startled. "What the hell?" he asked again.

"Dabao, what did you say?"

"I said, I asked the city's armed forces department for two military enlistment quotas. One is for Goudan, who do you think should give the other one to?"

Qin Qingyou quickly turned off the radio, climbed down from the kang, opened the file bag and looked at it carefully. He kept muttering in his heart, how come his son is so capable now?

But on second thought, he couldn't help but smile. His family was no longer the same as before. Now his wife had found her family, and his father-in-law was a high-ranking official. Such a military enlistment quota was something Qin Qingyou could never get before, but now it was probably just a matter of words from his father-in-law and brother-in-law.

Lu Xiu'e also carried Xiaoxia to the kang. She looked at it curiously and said, "Baby, did you ask your grandfather to make this?"

Qin Dabao shook his head: "I didn't ask my grandfather or uncle for help. I helped the leader of the armed forces yesterday, and they gave me two places to join the army as a thank you."

Now that Lu Xiu'e has found her parents' home, her horizons have been broadened and she has gained more experience. The two places to join the army did not shock her. She just said "oh" and that was it.

Qin Qingyou saw his wife's calm and composed look, and felt that she was a little too proud.

Qin Qingyou was very reluctant to go to the military compound. This was due to his low self-esteem. When he saw the small building, his heart was in turmoil. When he entered the house, his hands and feet were numb and he had no place to put them.

Lu Xiu'e saw through his thoughts. In order to protect his inferiority complex, even Lu Xiu'e rarely went back to her parents' home. She used pain to protect her husband's pitiful self-esteem. Qin Qingyou also understood, but he really didn't have the courage to step onto the steps of that noble courtyard.

But this did not prevent him from being happy at the moment.

Qin Qingyou took the file bag and patted Dabao on the shoulder after a while: "Thank you, son. You have lifted a heavy stone from my heart. For so many years, whenever I think of Goudan's father, I..."

As he spoke, he began to choke up.

When Qin Dabao saw that his father was getting emotional, he hurriedly said, "I'm going back to the countryside now. Will you come with me?" He really couldn't stand his father's sentimentality.

Qin Qingyou was immediately choked back his emotions. This little bastard had completely suppressed his emotions.

"I'm not going back. If your grandma sees my arm is injured, she'll start complaining again."

Qin Dabao thought so too. If his father went back with his arm around his waist, his grandmother would definitely be worried.

He hugged Xiaodang and stuffed a few pieces of candy into her little pocket. Xiaodang grinned, revealing a few small sesame teeth.

Lu Xiu'e prepared the milk powder and brought Xiaodang over. When Xiaodang saw the milk powder, he happily kissed Lu Xiu'e on the face. Qin Dabao pouted. Such a little baby only knew how to flatter. If she grows up, she will definitely be a smart girl.

Qin Dabao came out, lowered the strap of his cap, and fastened it to his chin so that the wind would not blow it off when he rode a motorcycle.

This guy is so cool riding a motorcycle. Passersby were looking at him along the way. Qin Dabao tried hard to hold his chest and head high, but unfortunately, the wind was too strong and it blew his waist down again.

It usually takes two and a half hours to go back to the countryside by bicycle, but now it only takes fifty minutes by motorcycle. Qin Dabao finally experienced the speed of motor vehicles again.

When he was halfway there, he saw that there was no one around, so he put 50 kilograms of rice, 50 kilograms of flour, 100 kilograms of cornmeal, a yellow-haired buck, and a castrated sheep into the sidecar, and half a bag of pine nuts (which his grandmother loved) into the flour bag, as well as four bottles of Erguotou, two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes, and two kilograms of sugar.

As soon as we entered the village, a group of children rushed over. This remote mountain village rarely has motorcycles and cars coming in, so the children found it very novel to see them.

The two brothers Dajun and Daquan jumped up and down and shouted: "Brother, big brother..."

Qin Dabao stopped the motorcycle, and Dajun and the other two jumped onto it. Dabao put the two brothers, one in front and one behind him, and stopped driving fast. Instead, he drove slowly towards the village amid the cheers of the children.

When the villagers heard the voice, they greeted Dabao with a smile. They were all from the same clan, and they felt proud to see the heroic Qin Dabao.

Da Jun and Da Quan sat in the car with their chests puffed out, eager to tell everyone that the person driving the car was their eldest brother.

The motorcycle slowly drove to the door of my grandfather's house. I didn't dare to drive fast because a group of children were following the motorcycle. It would be bad if they got hit.

There is no threshold in the country yard. Daquan got out of the car and pushed open the wooden door. Dabao drove the car directly into the yard.

Grandpa and grandma came out when they heard the sound. Old Qin was holding his pipe, and the walnut wrinkles on his face were all smiling. The old lady came forward while wiping her eyes.

Qin Dabao parked the car, took out a handful of fruit candies from his bag and handed them to Dajun, asking him to share them with the children. He then kicked Daquan and asked him to call his second uncle, second aunt, and his uncle and aunt's family.

Daquan agreed, snatched two pieces of candy from Dajun's hand and ran away.

Grandma hugged her eldest grandson and looked him up and down, she couldn't see enough.

Qin Dabao took his grandmother's arm, took out a candy, peeled it, and put it into his grandmother's mouth. His grandmother patted him.

"Silly child, keep it for yourself and don't drink the milk."

Second uncle and second aunt walked in quickly and looked at the police uniform on Dabao with curiosity. This was not the first time they saw Dabao wearing a uniform, but they were more curious every time they saw it.

My uncle and his family also came, and we all took the things from the sidecar into the house.

People say that as long as there is food at home, there is no need to worry. My second uncle and my elder uncle were so happy when they saw the food. With so much food, if they saved it, it would be enough to eat for three months.

Da Jun Daquan was outside playing with a group of kids on a motorcycle. His second uncle scolded them a few times before they dispersed. The motorcycle was a precious thing and it was unacceptable to have it damaged.

Grandma pulled Dabao into the house. The kang was heated in the room, so it was quite warm.

Qin Dabao didn't waste any time. He waited for his grandfather to sit down and took out the file bag from his bag.

"Grandpa, grandma, these are two military application forms and a political review form. Dad and I have discussed and decided to give one to Goudanzi. Who do you think we should give the other one to?"

"What the hell? Joining the army..." Second uncle and eldest uncle were furious when they heard it. Now that the war has ended for five or six years, it is becoming increasingly difficult to join the army. I heard that the army not only does not need people, but is also laying off people. For two consecutive years, there has not been a single person from Qinjiagou joining the army.

Now that I hear there are two vacancies, I’d be furious.

"Why should we give it to Goudanzi? There are two places here. Wouldn't it be enough to give one to each of Dajun and Daquan?" the old uncle stammered.

My second uncle and second aunt's eyes also lit up, including my grandmother...
