Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 1258

Old Zhao waved his hand: "Okay, then let you go. I will accompany you every day to patrol the border and herd the sheep. I will see who dare not let me go!"

"Thank you, teacher!" The cheers were uniform and deafening.

Lao Zhao is still domineering as always, which makes people have to admire.

"Teacher, everyone chose me to be the battalion commander of the border patrol camp, but I am not capable enough. I propose, let the teacher be our battalion commander, okay?"

Wei Quanyou struck while the iron was hot. Ever since his daughter and son-in-law arrived, Wei Quanyou, who had always been taciturn, seemed to have changed his temper.

"Okay, welcome back to the team, teacher!" This was a long-lasting round of warm applause.

Lao Zhao didn't hesitate at all, and immediately stood at attention with a "snap!", which represented the soldier's return to the team, so Lao Zhao, the chief officer at the division level, was completely downgraded to the commander of the first battalion.

It's just that this amateur team doesn't have a car, but many veterans have horses, so Wei Quanyou simply handed over the reins of his horse to Old Zhao.

"Battle Commander, this horse was given to me by Ye Wancheng, and it will be your car in the future!"

"Okay, I've accepted this thing. From now on, I will patrol the border every day. But it was agreed in advance, where I will patrol in the future, you will be responsible for food and housing!"

The soldiers laughed "haha". Needless to say, let alone the teacher, even if other comrades rushed to someone's house, who would care about food and lodging?
The reason why Lao Zhao is willing to be the battalion commander is not only because it is something he is willing to do.

In addition, he found that the harmony between the various units in Junken City was obviously not as good as before.

In the past, there was also competition among the various companies. How could anyone who came from a military background be willing to be inferior?It's just that competition is competition, but once a brother unit needs help, people from other companies will rush forward without hesitation.

They are not only colleagues, but also comrades-in-arms.A person who can turn his back on the opponent on the battlefield.

However, there are many units in Junken City today, although the distance is closer than before.But the friendship between comrades-in-arms is gone.

There is even a tendency to hate others and laugh at others.When encountering difficulties, not only do not help, but also laugh at you.This is the most intolerable thing for Lao Zhao.

The reason why we took this animal husbandry company first is that both the agricultural company and the animal husbandry company are currently the largest companies in the military reclamation city.And the most domineering.

Of course, this is also related to the company's leadership. The secretary Xi Dehe is the veteran of the infrastructure company, and the manager Cui Cui is Ye Wancheng's daughter-in-law.

This is not to say that these two people are overbearing, but that the people below are pretending to be powerful.As the veterans began to retire, most of the children of the Corps went to various enterprises.

Agricultural and animal husbandry companies have also begun to hire a large number of outsiders.These people are migrant workers, without skills, and do not meet the naturalization system of the Corps, so they can only do some physical work.

However, Military Reclamation City never discriminates against foreigners, and treats them equally in terms of salary and treatment. These people also live very well here.Some start families here, and some simply drag their families from their hometowns to make a living.

This is why Guangzhou in this era is similar to Shenzhen, except that Junken City is in the far northwest.

However, if there are too many such people, there will naturally be many disadvantages, such as no sense of belonging, and no friendship like blood is thicker than water like members of the Corps.

Just like the fact that Wei Quanyou was not allowed to herd sheep, it was actually done by the people below. If Wei Quanyou went to Ye Wancheng, this matter would be easily resolved.

But Wei Quanyou is not a person who likes to trouble his comrades, so he would rather go to Lao Zhao than call Ye Wancheng.

Old Zhao rode his horse back home happily. There was no horse stable in the municipal committee's family courtyard, so the horse had to be tied in the yard.And the fodder was brought back from Lao Wei.

After the establishment of the Public Security Bureau, the original guards are gone, so he can't ask people from the Public Security Bureau to feed his horses, right?

As soon as Lao Zhao rode his horse into the yard, many people saw it. The yard was not big, and people from the municipal party committee and government lived there, and they all came out to watch the excitement.Mainly because I haven't seen this one for a long time.

Think about it a few years ago, everyone used to ride horses when they went out, but in the blink of an eye, almost everyone has a special car.

There are so many cars in Army Reclamation City, who can send a few more cars to the leaders?Most of the cars of the leaders are presented by the automobile factory.

People are like this, once there is nothing, they often think of it.At this time, a group of members of the Standing Committee had already gathered around Lao Zhao's horse and began to comment.

Old Zhao didn't bother to talk to them, these guys were still working.Old Zhao felt awkward when he saw them, so he turned his head and went upstairs.

When Aunt Gan saw him coming back, she smiled and helped him take off his coat.Because she was very happy to see the old man today.

This expression has not been seen since the day Lao Zhao retired.

"Why are you so happy?" Aunt Gan couldn't help asking.

Old Zhao smiled "hehe" and said, "I became the battalion commander today."

Aunt Gan's smile faltered, then she stopped, and asked in bewilderment, "Aren't you all retired? Why did you demote so many officials?"

Old Zhao was also stunned for a while before he understood what his wife said, and couldn't help laughing out loud.Then I told the cause and effect again.

Aunt Gan was not happy now, the old man went to eat and sleep in the open at this age, she was worried that his health would not be able to bear it.

But she understands the old man's temper, once a decision is made, no one can persuade him.I can only quietly prepare some clothes for him. Although it is already spring, the northern Xinjiang is very cold in spring, and those who get up early and go late have to prepare a coat.

Especially the old man has changed to riding a horse again, which may be different in a car.

After Lao Zhao finished his meal, he took a bath humming a little tune.In fact, people of their generation all have a problem, they don't like taking a bath very much.

It's not just because of laziness, but because when I first entered Xinjiang, I was afraid of living without water.Who can imagine half a teapot of water, even gargling and washing your face?But that was the way it was.

So much so that Lao Zhao couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw others taking a shower with the faucet on.

The reason why I took the initiative to take a bath today is because I don’t know where I will live every day in the next few days?
At any rate, the 274-kilometer border would take two days to ride on horseback.Because horses are animals, they usually have to take a good rest after running [-] kilometers. If they are too tired, the horse will be useless.

When Ye Wancheng came home late, Meihua told him about Lao Zhao's return on horseback.Ye Wancheng just smiled and didn't care.

People are retired and have nothing to do, what's wrong with riding a horse?That is, as long as you are happy when you come back from riding a camel.

Until now Ye Wancheng still wants to go for a ride on horseback from time to time, but his wife firmly forbids it.

Erhong and Martha's new house has been tidied up, and today they brought their children to live there, only Ye Mao and the old couple are left in the house, which seems a bit deserted.
