No.70 Six Sections of Demobilized Soldiers

At the station in the county seat, a shuttle bus from the provincial capital slowly stopped.The door opened, and the passengers got off one after another.A tall and burly young man with bushy eyebrows and a square face was mixed in the crowd. He was wearing a military cap with a five-pointed star on his head and a military uniform.A neatly folded quilt was carried on the back, and a travel bag with the words "Chinese People's Liberation Army" printed on it was in his hand.His green military uniform stands out in the crowd. He is Ah Xiang's older brother Ah Jian.Ah Jian is 26 years old this year, and today is the day he retires from the army and changes jobs.Ah Jian was conscripted into the army at the age of 19, and went to a place called Longchi Bridge under the jurisdiction of Macheng, Hubei, and became an auto soldier.After the three-year volunteer army, he was transferred to the four-year volunteer army. When he joined the army, Ah Xiang was still a little girl.Seven years passed in a blink of an eye, and he came back here again.The county seat is still the same county seat, but the low bungalows quietly grew taller when we left.There are also more shops on both sides of the street.The road has also been paved with asphalt. Although there are still many potholes, it is much better than the dusty appearance at the beginning.He didn't want to miss these, he went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to report, and then asked them to arrange a car to take him home.

Ah Jian came to the Civil Affairs Bureau with strides. He was used to standing at attention at the door of the office, and said: "Report", a middle-aged man wearing thick black-rimmed glasses walked out of the office, and he looked at the soldier. He invited Ah Jian into the office.Ah Jian showed him the job change certificate, and offered to arrange a car to take him back to Muwa Village.He spread his hands and said helplessly: "Comrade, there are not enough cars in all units now, and besides, I can't even call the car distribution department as a small officer!" Ah Jian is a bit Angry, he said, "Call the Armed Forces and ask them to think of a way." The black-rimmed glasses said, "Comrade, are you embarrassing me? The matter has long been passed on to our Ministry of Civil Affairs." Ah Jianhuo, years of experience as a soldier have made him a habit of saying things without saying anything, and he can't stand these prevarications.He stood up and said fieryly: "I have done things for the country for seven years, and now I ask for a car to be pushed three times and four times. Can I still expect you to arrange work? If you don't arrange a car today, I will be here. Don’t go.” The black-rimmed glasses are most afraid of this kind of trickery, so he quickly sat down Ah Jian and comforted him: “Comrade, don’t be impatient, please be quiet, let’s solve the problem slowly.” He went to pour a glass of boiling water for Ah Jian, and then made a dozen phone calls.Finally found the car, he said to Ah Jian with a smile on his face: "Comrade, I found the car. It belongs to your township government. They came out for a meeting today, but there are a lot of people, so they have to squeeze... Do you think it's ok?" ?” Ah Jian also saw that the black-rimmed glasses were useless, so it was hopeless to expect him to find an empty car.Forget it, so he said: "You can let me go home today." The black-rimmed glasses said: "The meeting ends at four o'clock in the afternoon. Look at it now...." Ah Jian raised his hand and looked at his wrist. On the military luminous watch on the watch, there are still two hours before four o'clock.He put his luggage here, ready to go out to eat and buy some gifts for his parents and sister.So he said: "Okay then, help me look at my luggage. I'm going out to buy something. I'll wait here at 03:30." The black-framed glasses nodded quickly and said, "Okay! You go." head away quickly.

Ah Jian walked to the street and looked at the shops on both sides of the street full of all kinds of goods.He bought a pair of "Liu Sanjie" brand cigarettes for his old father, which is the best brand now.Of course, there are better brands than this, such as "Hongmei".But this is a cigarette smoked by someone at the level of the county magistrate and bureau chief, and the old father can't afford it.He thought that even if he bought it back for him, his father would not be willing to smoke it.He will get it from Ah Feng's store or sell it to a small business owner who has money, so it's better to buy it for more than one yuan and two yuan a pack.Ah Jian also bought a pair of shoes for his mother and younger sister Ah Xiang, the high-top ones with fur inside.This year's winter is so cold, with these shoes, my mother and sister will definitely be happy.Ah Jian thought, seven years later, my sister is already a big girl, and she must also like to dress up, so I bought her another bottle of "Pekchoin" cream to wipe her face.

After lunch, Ah Jian saw that it was still early, so I went shopping again.At this time, there were bursts of beautiful singing in his ears, and he walked into a video store looking for the singing.There are several dual-card and single-card recorders in the store, as well as colorful tapes.Ah Jian has also lived frugally in the army for the past few years. Apart from the monthly stipend given by the company to buy necessities, he keeps the rest and saves more than 1000 yuan.

Ah Jian looked at the tape recorder on the shelf, and he thought to himself, let’s have a good time after returning home from demobilization. He gritted his teeth and counted the money to buy a dual card tape recorder, 280 yuan.When I left my hometown seven years ago, the big horns hanging on the big banyan tree in the village were already rusty.If you buy this tape recorder and go home, don’t listen to the loudspeaker that screams when the wind blows.He also selected a few cassettes. When driving in the company, he often went to a material transfer station, where there was a famous "Feiyan" brand recorder.He often listened to it during his breaks, and he was already familiar with the fashionable male and female singers on those tape cassettes.He bought Li Lingyu's, as well as those of mainland singers such as Shi Xiaoqian and Tang Ni, and also bought two boxes of Hong Kong and Taiwan Jiang Yuheng and Tong Ange.These are his favorite singers.

Ah Jian went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with his heavy tape recorder to wait for a bus. After waiting for a long time, someone informed him to take a ride.When he got to the parking place, several drunk township cadres were already sitting in the car, and a red-faced head came out of the window.He is the head of the township, surnamed Zhao. Seven years ago when Ah Jian joined the army, he was only the deputy head of the township, but now he is the head of the township.He remembered that Jian, when he joined the army, he took people from the county armed forces department to pick up the soldiers. He said with a smile on his face, "Ah Jian, come, come, get in the car, you are honorably discharged, and you will be ready when you go home." I see that you have made your hometown better." It was an official phrase, with a leaf of green vegetables still stuck to the front teeth.

Ah Jian and him were polite, and the driver helped him put his luggage away, ready to get on the bus.Village head Zhao actually snored and fell asleep in the passenger seat.As the head of the township, there is nothing to do at all. Every day is this meeting and that meeting, and then eating and drinking.He has already practiced the ability to not get drunk on a thousand glasses of wine at the banquet, and fall asleep at the banquet.

Ah Jian had no choice but to squeeze into the back row, and there were already four people sitting in the back row.Two men and two women. The man is the current deputy township head and chairman of the National People's Congress.One of the women is the women's director, and there is a young sister-in-law of Zhao Xiangzhang.The two men were also drunk and leaned aside, so the village head's sister-in-law had no choice but to sit on the lap of the female director, squeezing a seat for Ah Jian to sit on.Ah Jian smiled a little awkwardly and sat up. Everyone wears a lot in winter, and so many people came up all at once, and it was already packed to the brim.The driver pressed hard on the outside to close the door. (Ah Jian is back, and his story is about to appear. Will something happen to him and the heroines? Update tomorrow, thank you for waiting!!!)
