Chapter 16 Brothers

After hearing what I said, Chen Geng could already imagine how those people in the yard were talking about their father behind their backs. "I'm not stupid" is the lightest, "Broken brain" is the mainstream, and I don't need to mention being pointed at by others behind my back and taking it as a warning... It is conceivable that my father's life is probably not very easy during this period.

If you get a cheaper one, you have to behave yourself. Chen Geng smiled and said, "I'm sorry that your son will prove to everyone the wisdom of your decision sooner or later... Come on, Dad, you can hold these two cigarettes..."

"Damn it! China?" I originally planned to ask Chen Geng how confident Chen Hongjun was. When he saw the two Chinas stuffed into his hands, he was immediately shocked: "Where did you come from?"

"Before I came back, I helped our leader a little, and the leader gave it."

"oh……"

Chen Hongjun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes became more eager. He rubbed his hands happily, then tore open one of the boxes without hesitation, and sucked them happily: "Hey, my son is not in vain. The first time I smoked the cigarette my son gave me was China, tsk..."

"That's it! Don't worry if I don't see whose son I am, I dare not say anything else in the future. I'll give you enough good cigarettes." Chen Geng smiled and flattered his father.

"I'm satisfied with you guys... Boy, tell me the truth, how sure are you?" Although Chen Hongjun took action to get his son back, now he was different from the past. Cheng Hongjun asked seriously: "The leaders of the military region told me that you are the first graduate of Huaqing University in our military region. The leaders mean that you hope you can stay in the military region headquarters. If you really feel that you are not sure enough, stay at the military region headquarters honestly. Don't feel embarrassed, no one will say anything about you."

Chen Geng understood the excitement of the military leaders about the students of Huaqing University falling from the sky.

The army in the 1980s was an extremely hard-working existence. Because of the large-scale disarmament, the focus of work shifted to economic construction. The army was short of funds, technology, and talent... In such a large military headquarters, the proportion of high-quality talents with bachelor's degree or above was less than 10%. There was no one in first-tier universities such as Huaqing, Peking University, and Renmin University, which was extremely miserable.

Chen Geng is a top student at Huaqing University. Not only did he master three foreign languages ​​in Britain, Russia and Germany, he also knew computers. The most important thing was that he was a junior in the army and a direct descendant of Miaohong. Knowing the news that Chen Geng was coming, the bosses of the entire East China Military Region were so excited that they were crazy. They never thought that such a good thing would fall on them and let such a person go to the factory below? No leader would refuse, it was really a waste of resources.

To put it more practically, with Chen Geng, a top student from Huaqing in the headquarters, the leaders of the East China Military Region can have more confidence than the leaders of other military regions when they go out for meetings: Our military region has students from Huaqing University, do you have one?

But Chen Geng’s family knew his family affairs, but his attitude was very firm: “Dad, I know all of what you said, but I still want to go on.”

"I don't have to do my job in the office and I have to get out of the workshop. What do you think?" Chen Hongjun sighed as if he accepted his fate: "Give me the thing, I'll hang it in front of you... Okay, get in the car..."

He completely forgot that in order to "convince" his son to get off the workshop, he slapped his son hard in the face.

Although the Third Ordnance Repair Factory of the East China Military Region is a role that grandma does not love his uncle and does not love him among the direct factories of the East China Military Region, it is also a well-known medium-sized factory. As a large military equipment maintenance company, the factory covers an area of ​​more than 1,200 acres, with more than 600 people in the work. Including military families and children, there are more than 1,200 people living here.

Many people tend to confuse the army's direct factories with military factories. In fact, the army's direct factories and military factories are completely different things. What is an army factory? The factory whose ownership belongs to the army is a army's direct factories; what is a military factory? The factories that produce guns, ammunition, aircraft, tanks, warships, cannons, torpedoes, shells, etc., are military factories.

One of the obvious differences between the two is that the leadership of the directly affiliated factories of the army is basically all officers, and all grassroots workers are soldiers. Not to mention the directly affiliated guesthouses of the army, even the head of a pig farm is also active-duty officers, and the workers in the pig farm are all active-duty soldiers. The unit must obey the management of the leadership of the military organization, and the internal management is also militarized management, and even maintain a certain amount of military training;

The leading cadres in the military factory are all state cadres, and the workers are state workers. Although there are also representatives of the military stationed in the factory, the military does not count. The existence of the military representatives is only for the interconnection and communication between the factory and the army. Their direct superiors are the Ministry of Aviation Industry, the Ministry of Ordnance Industry and other units. Simply put, these units are state-owned enterprises, but there are various strict confidentiality regulations because of the sensitivity of the product.

However, the situation of military-directed enterprises changed after the late 1980s. In the early and mid-1980s, all the soldiers from top to bottom were soldiers. Only the tertiary companies of the military-directed factories would recruit some military-related families and children who were not military-owned, relatives of officers, and local households. The reason is very simple. As a military-directed enterprise, it is safe to earn from drought and flood, and there is no need to worry about not having any salary.

However, after the late 1980s, there were more and more enterprises directly under the army, not only traditional guesthouses, factories, hotels, karaoke bars, and bath centers, and the situation became increasingly chaotic. The central leaders began to vigorously rectify this situation. The result of the rectification was that in most of the factories under the army, only the most core and even the top leaders were active-duty officers, and basically all the people below were recruited from society.

The third ordnance repair factory in the East China Military Region is still in its last "pure" era.

Before Cheng Hongjun's "black turtle" arrived at the factory gate, Chen Geng saw an acquaintance from afar, quickly patted Cheng Hongjun on the back and shouted: "Dad, stop."

After saying that, before the motorcycle stopped, Chen Geng jumped out of the car and shouted at the person who was walking out of the yard with his head down in front: "Die, Die, what are you doing?"

"Lao San?" Hearing Chen Geng's voice, the man who was walking down looked up and saw Chen Geng, was stunned for a moment, then immediately rushed over, and said with excitement and joy: "It's you, the third brother?"

The second brother is not Chen Geng's second brother, but the young man who grew up with Chen Geng in the third ordnance repair factory. Everyone grew up together and had a great relationship. When they were fourteen or five years old, they simply formed a kind brother. Chen Geng ranked third brother by age. The guy in front of him who was called the second brother by Chen Geng was real name Zhang Xiangyang.

"Isn't it me?" Chen Geng enthusiastically punched Zhang Xiangyang on the shoulder and smiled: "Isn't it possible that the one who stood in front of you was a ghost?"

"Hehehe..." Zhang Xiangyang smiled foolishly and touched his head, but when he saw Chen Hongjun right beside him, his eyes suddenly became a little complicated, and he wanted to speak, "You... are you really back?"

"Well, I'm back," Chen Geng didn't notice Zhang Xiangyang's flickering eyes when he first saw his old friend, and said excitedly: "By the way, what are you doing, second brother?"

"I...I'll go out to do something..."

"Oh," Chen Geng nodded, without thinking too much: "Then you go, remember to come to my house for dinner in the evening."

"Okay... OK."

"We brothers talk again," Chen Geng said, and took out two packs of China from his bag, and stuffed them into Zhang Xiangyang's hand without saying a word: "Take it!"

Seeing the Zhonghua cigarette in his hand, Zhang Xiangyang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stuffed it back to Chen Geng, and said anxiously: "No, no, no, this cigarette is too expensive, you should keep it yourself..."

"Isn't it just a box of cigarettes?" Zhang Xiangyang couldn't help but say something, stuffing the cigarette back into Zhang Xiangyang's hand. Chen Geng said: "I'm so polite to me? Well, this is for you. I'll send it to him if I turn my uncle's turn."

Looking at the cigarette that Chen Geng stuffed into his hand, Zhang Xiangyang hesitated for a moment and finally refused. He whispered: "Third brother, thank you..."

"You are so polite to me. Are you sour or not?" Chen Geng waved his hand and said, "Aren't you going out to do business? Don't be too slow, go quickly, come back quickly after you finish it."

"Okay!" Zhang Xiangyang nodded heavily.

"By the way, remember to come to my house tonight and call me all over the brothers."

"Okay, I'll cover it with me!" Zhang Xiangyang responded happily.

It was not until he entered the factory gate that Chen Geng asked his father in a low voice: "Dad, why do I think something is wrong with Xiangyang today? It seems that he is not in high spirits."

"How high can it be? Xiangyang hasn't found a job yet." Chen Hongjun sighed: "Look, he is probably going to the Armed Forces Department and the Civil Affairs Bureau asked about the work situation."

"How could that happen?" Chen Geng was surprised when he heard that Zhang Xiangyang was going to ask about his work: "Xiangyang has been discharged from the army for almost one and a half years, right? Why haven't he settled his job yet?"

Cheng Hongjun's expression was helpless: "How to resettle? There are so many educated youth returning to the city now, and a million-dollar disarmament has been carried out. There are only a few jobs for so many people. Do you think we can do it? You can only wait slowly."
