Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Chapter 211 Give him the rank he deserves

Old Man Yang from the military region, Chen Hong and Shi Sheng from the division headquarters were all paying attention to the progress of Zeng Wangcai and his team's mission.

Especially Old Man Yang, he had expectations for Zeng Wangcai and felt that the completion of this task, or the way it was done, should be able to verify something.

Therefore, when Chen Hong brought Liu Youren to report the results in person, Old Man Yang was not surprised at all, but was very concerned about the process.

"It's strange, it seems like all the fish in the lake were locked up in the water channel." Liu Youren naturally didn't hide anything, and told everything he saw and heard, "The soldiers used grenades to blow up the lake, and the lake was boiling. The fish were bubbling like crazy...

"Commander, this is too easy. We can just find a few soldiers to do it!"

"Haha, you're overthinking it!" Old Man Yang nodded with satisfaction. "Believe it or not, if you send someone to go, let alone use grenades, even if they use artillery shells, they may not be able to catch many fish."

There are a lot of people in Yongding River, right?

But he is the only one who can harvest more than a thousand kilograms a day, and anyone related to him, even a neighbor, can also be rewarded.

On the other hand, those that didn’t care, just a few meters away from him, didn’t catch any fish!

To say that his tools are good is nonsense. How can a freshly cut bamboo pole be considered a good tool?

He is indeed a special talent...

"Chen Hong!" Old Man Yang thought for a while and said, "Give him the rank he deserves. From today on, the Special Operations Team will officially become a unit in our military region."

The military region can decide on its own the military rank at this level. If it is higher than the colonel level, it cannot be awarded. It has to be awarded at a higher level. The current awarding of military ranks is relatively strict.

"Yes!"

......

The snow in 1960 was heavier than usual.

The rickshaw parked at the entrance of the alley is waiting for its customers.

It's only two days until the Chinese New Year, and the city is already bustling. Ordinary people are actually very easy to satisfy. As long as they can survive and not starve to death, most people can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.

It is said that the New Year is difficult, and the New Year is difficult.

The adults are all worrying about how to get more meat for the family so that their wives and children can eat better and the dinner table will not be so ugly; or they are counting the cloth coupons in the family and thinking about buying some cloth to make a new set of clothes for the eldest child in the family, or altering the clothes that the eldest child can no longer wear and giving them to the second child as new clothes.

But for children, the Chinese New Year is a festival and they can be much happier than usual.

For example, setting off firecrackers!

"Auntie, buy me some firecrackers!" Zeng Xiaoqiang fumbled for his own money from his cotton-padded jacket pocket, handed it to the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative store, and successfully bought a string of bright red firecrackers.

Lai Fu looked at his second brother eagerly, wondering whether he should put the firecrackers on the ground and light them, or be brave enough to light them with his hands and then throw them out to be a brave man.

"Brother Xiaoqiang, you are so rich that you can afford a whole string of firecrackers!" said a child who was one or two years younger than Xiaoqiang and whose nickname was Snot.

Snot was a kid from the yard next to No. 95, and he went to the same school as Zeng Xiaoqiang and his brother. He was given this nickname because he always had a runny nose all year round.

Nowadays, Zeng Xiaoqiang has become the number one kid in the alley. There are usually seven or eight kids playing with him, and Bi Si is just one of them.

"Alas, I don't have much money now!" Zeng Xiaoqiang sighed like a little master, "When my eldest brother was at home, I was rich. My eldest brother went to the army and became a platoon leader. After he left, my parents didn't give me much money. I really hope my eldest brother will come back soon."

"Second brother, I miss my eldest brother..." Lai Fu said after sniffing.

"Is your eldest brother really a platoon leader?" Sniff wiped Green Dragon with his sleeve and successfully hung it on his right cheek. He said without realizing it, "I heard that the platoon leader is a high-ranking official. Our courtyard Ergou's brother Dagou went to the army and has not been back for more than a year. I heard that he is just a soldier."

"Who is my big brother? How can he compare to Big Dog?" Zeng Xiaoqiang said proudly, "My big brother can come out on top wherever he goes. Even if he is not at home, he can still give me advice on how to deal with Dogcoin Liu Guangfu."

"Who are you calling Dogecoin?" Liu Guangfu, who happened to be walking by the wall of the alley, heard Zeng Xiaoqiang scolding him.

Liu Guangfu is not alone, he also has followers. One of his followers is Banggeng from the Central Courtyard, and the other one happens to be his neighbor, Ergou.

It was three against three, but judging from his age, Zeng Xiaoqiang seemed to be at a disadvantage.

However, Zeng Xiaoqiang was not afraid at all, and said disdainfully: "Liu Guangfu, you are the Dogecoin, so what?"

"Damn it, you have Brother Gen backing you up at school, yet you still dare to act so arrogant when you get home?" Liu Guangfu cursed, pulling his hand out of his pocket as if he was going to hit someone.

"Come on, let me tell you, my eldest brother is coming back!" Zeng Xiaoqiang said proudly, "My eldest sister-in-law is coming back too, your family is going to be in trouble, and Bang Geng, your father is going to be in trouble too."

"Bullshit, would I be afraid of your elder brother and sister-in-law? We have Shazhu here..." Liu Guangfu retorted, but put his hand back consciously.

After saying these harsh words, Liu Guangfu turned and left.

Ergou from the next yard said, "Brother Guangfu, are you leaving just like that?"

"Of course we can't let him off so easily. You two go back and get a jar with water. They've bought some firecrackers and they're definitely going to set them off soon. Throw some water on him and see what he's so proud of!"

"That's a good idea..."

Zeng Xiaoqiang saw Liu Guangfu and the other two walking away, then he took out a string of firecrackers from his pocket. It was called a string, but in fact there were not many, and when opened, it was only about a foot long.

At this time, there is no paper outside the firecrackers, and the small red firecrackers are directly connected together with fuses, one on the left and one on the right.

Children will not set off firecrackers all at once, as that would be a huge waste. Although it is exciting, the joy will be reduced.

Zeng Xiaoqiang carefully untied the fuse and shook it very skillfully, and the firecrackers on both sides fell off one by one. The fallen firecrackers had a piece of fuse, so they could be lit and set off individually.

"Snot, where is the thing I asked you to get?" Zeng Xiaoqiang asked after taking apart the firecrackers.

He was referring to the stuff used to light firecrackers. Generally speaking, incense or cigarettes are best, but both cost money.

After Zeng Wangcai was away from home, the Zeng family strictly controlled cigarettes and Zeng Xiaoqiang could not get them.

Nose chuckled and said, "Let's go and wait at my door. There are exactly three sticks in my grandfather's incense burner."

"Isn't your grandfather gone?"

"Yes, that's why he has an incense burner because it's gone. Who has an incense burner when they are alive? We are not monks."

Damn, what you said makes a lot of sense...

Zeng Xiaoqiang couldn't refute it. Although he felt that the incense in his grandfather's incense burner was not good, he couldn't resist the urge to set off firecrackers. So he put the firecrackers in his pocket and the three of them went to Bi's yard together.

Ten minutes later, the sound of firecrackers was heard in the alley.

Ergou and Banggeng each held a teacup filled with cold water. Led by Liu Guangfu, they searched everywhere for Zeng Xiaoqiang and the other two. It took them some time to find them at the entrance of the alley.

"Go, teach them a lesson!" Liu Guangfu gave an order and the three men launched a charge.

Zeng Xiaoqiang was sharp-eyed. When he saw it, he immediately pulled Lai Fu and ran away, not forgetting to call out to the man holding the half-smell snot.

The ground was slippery and the three men couldn't run fast. Just as they ran out of the alley, Lai Fu slipped and fell into the mud, crying loudly.

Liu Guangfu chased after him with a grim smile, and just as he was about to make his move, he realized something was wrong. A military green truck was approaching at a fast speed...
