Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

There is no doubt that Zeng Wangcai is complaining, and it is a blatant complaint that anyone who is not a fool can hear.

Old man Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, did not interrupt Zeng Wangcai's complaint, and listened slowly.

Although Old Man Liu and the other four old men sent Zeng Wangcai to the army without consulting him, and Zeng Wangcai's performance in the army made them very satisfied, this does not mean that as long as Zeng Wangcai complains, a minister will interfere in the affairs of the department-level units below.

In other words, Old Man Liu didn't want to personally deal with what Zeng Wangcai said at this time.

"Are you done?" Old Man Liu said after Zeng Wangcai stopped talking. "It seems that you have a lot of complaints in your heart. Do you have complaints against us old men?"

He didn't say what Zeng Wangcai was saying, but rather what Zeng Wangcai's emotions were.

This made Yang Weiguo, who was helping absent-mindedly in the kitchen, feel slightly relieved. He knew Old Man Liu and knew how he would probably handle this matter.

But Zeng Wangcai didn’t know enough about Old Man Liu, he just wanted to get him.

"Complaints? I have no complaints." Zeng Wangcai smiled and said, "I am just a brick, the steel mill and the army are the same."

"Yes, you did. What do you mean by your family affairs?"

"Complain, my dad got beaten up, I can't complain?"

"You can complain, but the question is, did you come to my house just to complain?"

"Uncle, it's a bit awkward to say that. By the way, by the way..."

"Okay, let's get down to business!" Old Man Liu cleared his throat. "You guys are doing a good job. Ten thousand kilograms of supplies a month is great. Old Yang didn't have time to tell you, so let me ask you, can this number be raised?"

"No!" Zeng Wangcai answered very straightforwardly, "We can't even add one kilogram. We only have more than 30 people. It would be difficult to add 10,000 kilograms."

"I know, people are not the problem." Old Man Liu said patiently, "You are a platoon leader now. As long as we can get more supplies, it doesn't matter if you become a company commander or a battalion commander."

These domineering words scared Yang Weiguo in the kitchen. Is it so easy to get promoted in the army?

But Zeng Wangcai was not fooled. He smiled and said, "Uncle, you are setting a trap for me again. I won't be fooled. If I become the battalion commander, I will say that I am the first battalion of the Special Operations Department, right? In fact, I am just feeding pigs."

Old man Liu's face turned red, apparently he knew the reputation of Zeng Wangcai's special operations team in the army.

After a few seconds, Old Man Liu forced a smile and said, "You said it yourself, there is no distinction between high and low jobs, so what's wrong with feeding pigs?"

"Uncle, it's fine with me. You can ask me to do anything." Zeng Wangcai said seriously, "I have more than 30 people under me. They are all good at military skills. Under normal circumstances, they are the top of each company. If they are put here, they will become pig feeders. Would you be willing to do it in your place?"

"So you're determined to join the confrontation just for this?" Old man Liu frowned.

Old Man Liu didn't expect that Zeng Wangcai had the idea of ​​making a big move. To be honest, people nowadays have simpler thoughts, especially in the army. You just do whatever your superiors tell you to do. This is the norm.

They brought Zeng Wangcai into the army to let him get supplies. A platoon, a company, and even a battalion were all part of their plan.

Therefore, Zeng Wangcai was actually right when he said that they were setting a trap.

Ten thousand kilograms a month corresponds to a platoon. If it is a company, it would obviously be thirty thousand kilograms or even more.

If we accept everything, won't we have to go to Xinjiang to set up a construction corps?

"Not entirely. Anyway, I'll just be a platoon leader." Zeng Wangcai shook his head. "My ability is limited. I can't manage more people. Let's not talk about this topic. I'm here to wish you a happy new year in advance, not to discuss work."

Old man Liu almost got internal injuries from holding it in. So you're the only one who can complain, but I can't talk to you about serious matters?

No, this guy is very cunning!

"Are you doing this on purpose because I ignored what you just said?" Old man Liu looked at Zeng Wangcai with a squint.

"It's unfair..." Zeng Wangcai patted his chest to make a promise, and then made a turn, "Yes!"

puff!

Old man Liu almost spit out tea because of this turn of events.

"I'm just kidding!" Zeng Wangcai didn't wait for Old Man Liu to speak, and immediately followed up, "I'm kidding, how could it be possible? Let me tell you, our platoon wants to be heroes, we really don't have time to expand production."

"Hero?" Old man Liu lost his temper because of Zeng Wangcai's torment. This was the first time a junior spoke to him like this after he became a big leader. He couldn't get angry. "Do you know who the hero of your military region is? What kind of merit did he make to be called a hero... Never mind, it's good that you have this ambition.

"Let me ask you another question. How do you plan to carry out your work after the beginning of the year?"

"Training!" Zeng Wangcai answered sincerely, "Train hard, defeat the first company and participate in the confrontation, and then... farm."

"Farming? Are you crazy? You're farming with this harvest now?"

"That's right, just because others didn't get any harvest doesn't mean I didn't."

"Don't be silly, this is not something to joke about."

"I'm not kidding, seriously. How about we make a bet and I complete the task by farming?"

"Haha, I eat onions and garlic, but I don't eat ginger... I bet!"

Zeng Wangcai thought this trick was useless, but he didn't expect the old man to be fooled.

Immediately, the two made a bet that if Zeng Wangcai won, Old Man Liu and the others would not be allowed to interfere in his affairs in the army. Otherwise, Zeng Wangcai would have to feed the pigs according to Old Man Liu's ideas.

In the kitchen, Yang Weiguo took a breath and said, "Sister-in-law, if I remember correctly, the chief never bets with anyone."

"Haha!" Old Man Liu's wife glanced outside, "He has no other choice. If there is any other choice, he won't bet. Okay, let's call them to dinner."

Yang Weiguo, who went out, was puzzled. What was the relationship between the two of them?

Senior or junior?

It doesn't seem like that. Why do I feel like Zeng Wangcai is not afraid at all in front of the leader?

Moreover, the leader didn't seem to have any intention of forcing him. From listening to their conversation, it seemed that the leader wanted Zeng Wangcai to collect supplies in the army. It would only take one order to do it. Was it necessary to make it so troublesome?

Yang Weiguo was puzzled.

He initially thought that Zeng Wangcai and the leader were distant relatives, but now he doesn't think so. Instead, he feels that they are more like close friends regardless of age difference.

However, no matter what the relationship between Zeng Wangcai and the leader is, he feels that this relationship has surpassed his own.

"It's time to eat..." Yang Weiguo, who was confused, announced the start of the meal.

Everyone moved to the restaurant to eat.

There were not many dishes, just three and one soup, one braised pork, one braised fish, one fried potatoes, and one vegetarian soup. Two of these dishes were contributed by Zeng Wangcai.

Zeng Wangcai used the more than two pounds of meat he brought to make braised pork, which smelled delicious.

"This meat is good. I haven't eaten meat like this for a long time." Old Man Liu took out a bottle of wine from the cupboard himself, "Drink some today, otherwise these dishes will be unworthy."

If Li Huaide said he hadn't eaten meat for a long time, Zeng Wangcai would not believe it, but Old Man Liu said he believed it.

Zeng Wangcai only tasted a piece of meat and a piece of fish, and did not eat any other vegetables. This detail was caught by Old Man Liu, and he suddenly felt that he and his friends had been too harsh on Zeng Wangcai.

"Hey!" After taking a sip of wine, Old Man Liu sighed and said, "Wangcai, besides what you just said, are there any other difficulties at home?"

"Difficulties? None. The food and drinks are good..." Zeng Wangcai answered halfway and suddenly changed the tone, "To say there is a problem, there is one, but it is not a difficult problem. Director Yang happened to be here. Uncle and Director Yang, please give me some advice.

"My wife, no, my fiancée, doesn't have a job. I wonder if she can go to work in the steel mill. You know her ability, uncle. Do you think she can go to the security department?"
