Zhou Dinghai is fan Lei's comrade in arms. Zhou Dinghai was injured in an exercise. Although he performed well on weekdays, he had to retire because he hurt his bones.

Zhou Dinghai's village has many mountains, few land, remote location and poor family.

When Zhou Dinghai first came home, his family had a good life, but Zhou Dinghai's mother had a serious illness recently. If his former comrades in arms had not helped him collect money, Zhou dinghailian had no money to see his mother.

Fan Lei also learned about Zhou Dinghai from other comrades in arms, so he called the township post office where Zhou Dinghai was located.

After hearing the news the next morning, Zhou Dinghai immediately ran to the township post office and dialed back.

Fan Lei was Zhou Dinghai's monitor. When he learned that fan Lei called himself, Zhou Dinghai was very happy. As soon as the phone was connected, Zhou Dinghai smiled, "monitor, what's wrong with you calling me?"

Fan Lei said with a smile, "yes, I want to ask you how your boy is doing recently?"

Zhou Dinghai's mother's condition has been stable, but he owed a lot of money to his comrades in arms, but Zhou Dinghai, a man, was embarrassed to say this to fan Lei, so he smiled, "life is OK."

Fan Lei already knew Zhou Dinghai's situation. Seeing that Zhou Dinghai didn't complain to him and that Zhou Dinghai had strong self-esteem, fan Lei didn't poke it, but directly asked, "you know I'm a security guard in a shopping mall in Beijing now."

Zhou Dinghai listened and said with envy, "monitor, I've heard all about it. Congratulations on finding such a good job."

Fan Lei said with a smile, "it's also thanks to the head thinking of me. This mall is opened by the head's lover."

"The chief loves people, has good temperament and ability, especially for US soldiers, so when recruiting security guards in the mall, he specially asked the chief to give us soldiers such a good job."

After hearing this, Zhou Dinghai was naturally very envious. He thought it would be good if he could find a good job. In this way, he could also improve the conditions at home and return the money owed to his comrades in arms.

But fan Lei continued, "now the mall is expanding the recruitment of security guards. I want to ask, do you want to come?"

After listening to fan Lei's words, Zhou Dinghai didn't react for a moment and didn't dare to set a channel. "Monitor, what did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly. Can you say it again?"

Zhou Dinghai's voice was filled with expectation and excitement. Fan Lei couldn't hear it, so he repeated with a smile, "the mall is now expanding enrollment. Would you like to come to the capital and be the security guard of the mall like me?"

As soon as fan Lei's words were finished, Zhou Dinghai couldn't wait to say, "yes, yes, monitor, I'd like to. You keep your work for me. I'll pack up my things and go to the capital now."

When Zhou Dinghai finished, he hung up the phone excitedly. Fan Lei opposite listened to the busy tone on the phone and couldn't help laughing and scolding, "this smelly boy!"

Zhou Dinghai knows that this work is hard won. I don't know how many people are jealous. If the monitor can give this work to himself, he values himself. He must not disappoint the monitor.

So Zhou Dinghai quickly ran home. After Zhou Dinghai's mother was stable, Zhou Dinghai took her mother home and let her daughter-in-law take care of her.

Zhou Dinghai's daughter-in-law couldn't help but say, "what's the matter with you? You've been kicked out by the dog?"

Zhou Dinghai said to his daughter-in-law with a smile, "what nonsense? I have a good thing."

Zhou Dinghai was poor at home because he saw his mother. If his daughter-in-law didn't like Zhou Dinghai, she would have run away. When she heard Zhou Dinghai say there was a good thing, Zhou Dinghai's daughter-in-law couldn't help it. "What good thing can there be in our small mountain village?"

Zhou Dinghai laughed and said, "didn't I tell you before that our class monitor is now a security guard in a shopping mall in Beijing, and now he has a salary of 60 yuan a month."

Zhou Jianhai's daughter-in-law couldn't help admiring, "I know this."

Zhou Dinghai said, "yesterday our monitor called the post office and said to talk to me. I didn't go out this morning. As a result, just now the monitor told me that the mall is expanding and wants to recruit people. He asked me if I would like to go?"

Zhou Dinghai's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up as soon as she heard it. Before Zhou Dinghai could speak, Zhou Dinghai's daughter-in-law shouted, "go, how can you not go for such a good thing?"

Seeing his daughter-in-law so excited, Zhou Dinghai was happy and sour. He felt sorry for his daughter-in-law and let her suffer with him.

Zhou Dinghai said, "don't worry. That's what I told the monitor. I'll pack up my things and go to the capital now. When I get to the capital, I can get a salary of dozens of yuan a month. Then I'll mail all the money to you. You pay back the money I owe, and then our family will certainly live a good life."

Zhou Dinghai's daughter-in-law owed a lot of debt at home because of her mother-in-law's illness. She was a little desperate and didn't know when to pay off those foreign debts.

Now in the twinkling of an eye, her husband found such a good job. Zhou Dinghai's daughter-in-law was naturally very excited and nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, don't worry, I know. I must pay back the money you owe your comrades in arms first. For your salary of dozens of yuan a month, we owe your comrades in arms more than 300 yuan. The money will be paid back soon, and our family will live a good life next year."

After listening to his daughter-in-law, Zhou Dinghai nodded again and again, "yes."

Then he said, "you hurry to pack up for me, but don't waste time."

As soon as Zhou Dinghai's daughter-in-law heard this, she hurriedly said, "I'll pack your things for you. Go and tell my mother not to let her worry about you."

Zhou Dinghai nodded, and then went into the inner room. Zhou Dinghai's mother was lying in bed. Zhou Dinghai's mother also heard what Zhou Dinghai said to his daughter-in-law just now. She knew that her son had found a good job. Zhou Dinghai's mother said happily, "go and do a good job. Don't worry about me. I'm fine."

Zhou Dinghai sat on the edge of the bed, holding his mother's hand and repeatedly said, "Mom, don't worry, this work is hard won. I'll do it well when I go. When I make money, I'll let you enjoy it."

Zhou Dinghai's mother smiled and nodded uncontrollably. Zhou Dinghai's daughter-in-law packed Zhou Dinghai a bag with changed clothes and boiled all the eggs stored at home. She planned to let Zhou Dinghai eat on the road.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was boiling eggs, Zhou Dinghai hurriedly said, "I don't eat eggs. You eat with our mother. Xiaoqiang's body is not good. When he goes to school, you can give him an egg to make up."

Xiaoqiang is Zhou Dinghai's son. He is seven years old and just went to primary school. Because his family is poor, Xiaoqiang can't eat anything good at ordinary times. His body is a little weak. Now he has found a good job and his son can eat something good in the future.

After hearing this, Zhou Dinghai's daughter-in-law hurriedly said, "it's a long way from our village to the provincial capital and then to the capital. What if you're hungry on the way? I'll cook these eggs for you and you can eat them on the way."

"Don't worry about me, my mother and Xiaoqiang. Our chickens lay eggs every day. After you have a formal job and earn so much money every month, our family's life will be better and better. Don't love these eggs."

Zhou Dinghai also heard that as long as he earns dozens of yuan a month, his family can afford to eat eggs every day. Zhou Dinghai's daughter-in-law put all the boiled eggs into a bag and handed them to Zhou Dinghai. Zhou Dinghai hugged his daughter-in-law and said, "then I'll go." Zhou Dinghai's daughter-in-law nodded and watched Zhou Dinghai go out of the house.

Zhou Dinghai ran all the way to the town. He first took a car to the provincial capital, and then took a train to the capital. It took him two days to get to the capital.

At noon, fan Lei specially asked for leave to meet Zhou Dinghai at the railway station.

Zhou Dinghai just got out of the train and saw fan Lei standing on the platform waiting for him. Zhou Dinghai immediately ran over with a smile. Seeing Zhou Dinghai's dishes on his face, fan Lei knew that Zhou Dinghai's life was not very good. He was certainly not willing to buy something to eat on the road, but he didn't expose it. After all, Zhou Dinghai was such a big person. It's not good to expose his face.

Fan Lei grabbed Zhou Dinghai's shoulder and said, "hurry back to the mall. You report first, and then we'll have dinner."

Zhou Dinghai said with a smile, "monitor, thank you this time. I'll invite you to dinner later."

Where is fan Lei willing to eat Zhou Dinghai's meal? Zhou Dinghai owes a lot of debt because of his mother's illness. Fan Lei can't take advantage of him, so fan Lei smiled and said, "we don't go out to eat. The mall takes care of food. It's much better to have meat and vegetables than outside."

Zhou Dinghai said in surprise, "we who are security guards are still in charge of food in the mall?"

Fan Lei said with a smile, "take care of rice, not only rice, but also life. Don't worry when you come here."

Listening to fan Lei's words, Zhou Dinghai's eyes revealed his longing for future work.

Out of the railway station, Zhou Dinghai followed fan Lei to a car. Fan Lei directly opened the door and sat in. Zhou Dinghai sat in the co driver's seat, looked around and asked fan Lei, "monitor, is this your car?"

Fan Lei smiled and said, "of course not. Where can I afford it? This is the boss's car. Until I came to pick you up today, the boss specially lent me the car."

Zhou Dinghai was surprised, "the boss is really good."

Fan Lei nodded with a smile and said, "yes, after all, the boss is the wife of our head. He is kind to us and generous."

In this era of reform and opening up, there are not many self-employed businesses, so there are naturally few jobs. Because of the good welfare treatment in the mall, many people stare at the job of a salesperson.

Fan Lei drove with Zhou Dinghai and sped all the way to the mall soon.

Zhou Dinghai looked at the vast, magnificent and crowded mall in front of him. He was surprised and asked fan Lei, "monitor, I'll work here in the future?"

Fan Lei nodded and smiled, "yes." then he patted Zhou Dinghai on the shoulder, "let's go. I'll take you to go through the entry formalities."

Zhou Dinghai nodded, and fan Lei took Zhou Dinghai into the mall.

After entering the mall, Zhou Dinghai was dazzled because there were too many people and too many things.

After going through the entry formalities, fan Lei took Zhou Dinghai to the staff restaurant. There were not many people in the staff restaurant. After all, everyone was busy now. After the peak period, the staff would take the place of the shift and then come to the restaurant to eat in turn.

The restaurant is also on the first floor. It doesn't occupy a large area. Fan Lei and the master cook have already become friends. Seeing fan Lei coming, the kitchen master laughed loudly, "Lao Lei, why are you so late today? The braised meat is almost gone?"

Zhou Dinghai, who followed fan Lei, heard that there was braised meat in the restaurant, and his saliva almost flowed out. God knows, he hasn't eaten meat in a year.

Fan Lei laughed and said, "isn't our mall hiring people? I introduced my comrades in arms. Today, he just arrived in the capital. I went to pick him up and came late."

The master also saw Zhou Dinghai and said with a smile, "brother, you're hungry. Come to dinner."

Zhou Dinghai was embarrassed and said, "please."

The master quickly waved his hand and said, "no trouble, no trouble."

Then he saw that although Zhou Dinghai was tall, he had a vegetable color on his face. Although his clothes looked clean, they were washed white. He knew that the conditions at Zhou Dinghai's home were bad, so he smiled and said, "brother, you can eat as much as you want in this restaurant, but there is one. Don't waste it."

As soon as Zhou Dinghai heard this, he quickly promised, "master, don't worry, I'm a child of a poor family. I know that it's not easy for every grain to come, and I won't waste it."

The master nodded with satisfaction. Then he saw Zhou Dinghai holding a plate and asked Zhou Dinghai brothers, "rice or steamed bread?"

Zhou Dinghai immediately said, "steamed bread."

The master took three steamed buns for Zhou Dinghai and said, "if it's not enough, come again."

When Zhou Dinghai saw the white flour steamed bread on his plate, his eyes were red and his tears almost came down. Because his family owed a lot of debt, he and his daughter-in-law, children and mother couldn't afford corn flour. They all ate Sanhe noodles steamed bread.

Now, seeing that the salary given by the mall is high and the food is still so good, Zhou Dinghai can't help feeling and secretly vowed that his wife and children's mother will be able to eat white steamed bread and braised meat in the future.

Seeing that Zhou Dinghai's eyes were red, the master of the restaurant sighed in his heart, but smiled and scooped Zhou Dinghai a tablespoon of braised meat and a tablespoon of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Zhou Dinghai is really hungry. On the road these two days, Zhou Dinghai is really not willing to spend a penny except that his daughter-in-law cooked him some eggs.

Fan Lei also took the plate, made a meal and sat next to Zhou Dinghai.

Zhou Dinghai ate up one steamed bread three or five times at this time. Zhou Dinghai couldn't eat enough of the three steamed bread at all. So fan Lei took the initiative to take another three steamed bread for Zhou Dinghai.

Zhou Dinghai's mouth was full of food. He couldn't speak clearly. Fan Lei didn't care. He ate himself.

After a full meal, Zhou Dinghai seemed to be alive again, and his whole body was full of energy.

Fan Lei led Zhou Dinghai to get clothes, sheets and bedding. He took him to the dormitory again. After settling down, Zhou Dinghai immediately changed into a security uniform and began to work.

Zhou Dinghai also met their chief wife. At the summer solstice, he saw more than a dozen new security guards, smiled and encouraged them to work hard, and then went back to his office.

As soon as the summer solstice left, Zhou Dinghai quietly asked fan Lei, "monitor, this is our head. Doesn't his wife say she's nearly 40? Why does she look so young? Has our head divorced and married another one?"

Fan Lei glared at Zhou Dinghai angrily and scolded, "what nonsense? Our chief wife is beautiful, kind-hearted, old and slow. Do you understand?"

Zhou Dinghai gave a cry and went on patrol.

A week later, Zhou Dinghai was getting used to working as a security guard in the capital. One day after work, he returned to the dormitory. Several big men lay down to sleep and started chatting without falling asleep.

Fan Lei asked Zhou Dinghai, "are you used to it here?"

Zhou Dinghai said with a smile, "squad leader, what's not used to it? Being a security guard here is much more nourishing than when we train in the army."

Zhou Dinghai's words were immediately endorsed by others.

"Yes, Captain, we don't have to eat meat once a month at home. Here we eat every day and open our stomach. I didn't think I could live such a good life before."

"Yes, and we're not tired."

Fan Lei couldn't help laughing, "smelly boys, cherish these good days now. I heard that two days ago, another mall opened in the capital, which is smaller than ours. There are also security guards. The salary is only half of ours, and they just control it, regardless of food."

"Oh, Captain, is this true?"

Fan Lei nodded and said, "why do I lie to you about this kind of thing? You'll know if you ask yourself."

Everyone nodded again and again. After all, it's not easy to find a job now. The owner of the mall can't push down the price.

Fan Lei sighed, "it's better for our chief's wife to look up to US soldiers. We give us so much salary every month and take care of food and shelter. You will cheer me up when you go to work in the future. I can't apologize for the salary given to us by the chief's wife."

When they heard this, they nodded and said yes.

The number of security personnel has increased, and the security work has been in place. It is naturally more reassuring to see the large number of security personnel in security uniforms and customers who come to the mall to watch movies and KTV.

In particular, the students of An'an's school come to the mall to watch movies and sing in KTV. The little gangsters on the street dare not make trouble in the mall when they see so many security guards in the mall.
