Adjutant Zhang was irritated by his action of slapping the table, and was about to have a fit, but as soon as he saw the things on the table, he immediately swallowed back the words that were on his lips.
He put down the hat in his hand, sat back on the chair, and stared at the second master opposite him, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling next.
"Adjutant Zhang, why are you so angry? Have a cup of tea and calm down the anger."
Adjutant Zhang followed the instructions and picked up the cup to drink the already cold tea. He couldn't help frowning, but he still swallowed it.
"The tea will get cold as soon as this person leaves. The taste of cold tea will not be pleasant."
The second master spoke with puns and looked at Adjutant Zhang, his eyes seemed to be able to read his thoughts.
"Second Master, if you have anything to ask, just ask. There is no need to entertain Mr. Zhang like this."
"Adjutant Zhang, Yong really respects you for your tough military style. Let me put it bluntly. I invited you here today just to see if there is anything you can do to help my brother. You know, in such a big family, everyone
My brother takes care of me. He is a person who does big things, so I thought it would be good if I could share some of his burdens with him. I don’t have any strengths, but I can barely do anything to fill his gaps and stuff.
.”
"Second Master, actually you don't have anything to worry about. What you have been told is very simple. We need to borrow two cars, one large and one small, to go to a farm outside the city for a period of one month. We only need to provide experienced drivers."
"Adjutant Zhang, what is the purpose of my brother borrowing the car?"
"Second Master, don't you know about this?"
The second master shook his head, "I only know that my brother has a lot of things to do in the past two days, but I don't know exactly which things they are. Otherwise, why would I specially invite you to come over and ask?"
This sentence very cleverly explained why he didn't know the inside story, and also showed that he had no malicious intentions.
"The uncle is borrowing the car from us to use it for driving training for the personnel. He wants us to teach him seriously. If the training results are good and the effect is good, we will be given extra rewards."
"Do you know who is going to be trained?"
"I don't know about this. I'll know when I see him."
"When will the vehicle and its attendants arrive?"
"Settling at the farm in ten days."
"In this case, the vehicles and personnel do not return to the station every day, but are stationed in the farm. How are the accommodation arrangements for the personnel?"
"I didn't ask for details. I just said that it would be arranged at that time. However, I did explain that the matters related to borrowing the car this time must be kept confidential. If anyone asks, just say that it is a daily training program of our city defense camp.
.”
"Oh!" The second master nodded, "My brother said this because he was worried about causing trouble. The world is not peaceful now, and it is better to do less than to do more."
Adjutant Zhang nodded, picked up the teapot on the table and poured water to drink.
"What if the vehicle breaks down during this period and affects its use?"
"That's easy to say! Second Master, don't worry. I will take the people from the auto repair class with me in the car, so it won't delay things. Even if you don't tell me, I will make such arrangements. To be honest with you, this is
The vehicles allocated to us are all replaced from the field troops. Those grandsons use the cars as much as they eat them. They just use them violently and abuse them. How can there be any reliable maintenance? If the car doesn't work well, just take care of it.
The new ones, the old ones will be given to us local troops. Thinking about it makes me feel aggrieved."
As soon as Adjutant Zhang mentioned the condition of the allocated vehicles, he became angry and complained.
"Then why doesn't my brother borrow a civilian car?"
"Second Master, I see that you don't pay much attention to things on the street."
Adjutant Zhang stopped halfway through his words and deliberately stopped to drink tea.
"Adjutant Zhang, please tell me! Is there any secret here?"
Adjutant Zhang glanced at the table, then at the second master, but did not answer his question.
The second master suddenly understood and said with a smile: "Adjutant Zhang, if you like this 'little yellow croaker', just take it. It was originally given to you, so you have to take it to heart when working for my brother. If this job is done well,
When the matter is over, I will make a pair for you."
"Then thank you, Second Master." Adjutant Zhang reached out and patted the gold bar that Second Master had just placed on the table, took it into his hand, weighed it happily, and put it in his arms.
"Now, can you continue what you just didn't finish?"
"Second Master, what do you want to know? How can I hide it from you?" Adjutant Zhang lowered his voice and said, "You don't know something. How can the freight company on the street afford cars to transport goods! There is rubber.
A double-coupled cart with tires is pretty good, but aren't even your goods transported by horse-drawn carriage?"
"This is time-limited cargo, and it must be transported by car. Is it possible that it is all transported by military vehicles?"
Adjutant Zhang nodded, "Nine times out of ten, this is true. Although the freight price is high, it is highly safe and timely, and even the vehicles are too busy."
"In this case, Commander Xu has really given my family face. I will treat you and Commander Xu to a good banquet someday!"
"Second Master, you are so polite. Your family is a prominent family in Anqiu. It would be a great honor for our battalion commander and brothers to have us serve. This will give us some glory."
, we will definitely not be careless and let our guard down.”
The second master nodded, very happy, "With Adjutant Zhang's words, I feel relieved."
While inviting Adjutant Zhang to drink tea, the second master said: "I have two young nephews from my family who are very smart and well-behaved. I want to do some odd jobs in the camp. I wonder if Adjutant Zhang can make arrangements for them?"
"Second Master, how old are they?"
"One is eighteen years old, and the other is older, twenty-five or six."
"Then go to the kitchen and canteen and work as a waiter. Maybe you are also good enough to be a soldier?"
"Oh! That's not possible. It's okay to get some experience. We can't arrange for them to serve as soldiers."
"What's wrong with people who eat food and serve as soldiers? Second Master, I'm worried that they might be in danger if they carry guns."
"Hey! It's not what you think. The main reason is that our Yong family's ancestral precepts say that future generations are not allowed to join officials or join the army. Anyone who violates this will be expelled from the clan."
"I see. Since there are ancestral teachings, it cannot be violated. Second Master, I know how to deal with it. I wonder when the two people you mentioned will come over?"
"It depends on your convenience. They can all do it."
"There's been a lot going on lately, and I'm afraid I'll forget it again because I'm so busy, so why not let them come to the camp to find me tomorrow."
"In this case, I will ask them to report to you in the camp this afternoon to save you trouble tomorrow. Don't let their affairs delay your business."
"That's fine. I'll be in the camp this afternoon. Just let them come to me."
"Okay! Then I would like to thank Adjutant Zhang for his support on behalf of my two nephews. For my family, you should be beaten when you need to be beaten, and you should be scolded when you need to be beaten. Don't have any scruples."
