"Why did you come just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time." Grandma Xiaohong said as she squeezed her butt to the side.

These days, conference rooms all have long benches with backrests.

Being suddenly squeezed by Grandma Xiaohong, the whole row of people frowned and looked at him.

The old lady, however, sat down as if no one was around.

Grandma Xiaohong asked the same question as before, "What did you do just now?"

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, "You old man, are you adding things to the list behind my back?"

"Look at what you said. What do you mean by carrying you on your back?"

The old lady's eyes flashed. "You know I have a bad memory. As soon as I remembered it, I immediately asked someone to help me remember it."

"But they are all worthless things."

Grandma Xiaohong snorted coldly.

I don't believe you.

This old lady is very cunning.

"Okay, you have a lot of stuff at home."

The old lady deliberately changed the subject and said, "After I pay you the money, let's make an appointment to go shopping in the county together."

Speaking of making up the money, Grandma Xiaohong's face, which had been gloomy for a long time, finally showed a hint of a smile.

"Okay, we'll go together then. I just don't know if they can make up the bills this time."

"Why not make up for it!"

The old lady said confidently, "You need tickets to buy these things. If the army doesn't give us the supplies, we'll have to talk to them about it."

Grandma Xiaohong nodded and said, "That's right, why not give me the supplement?"

The two of them talked to themselves, from the replacement money to what to buy.

The voice grew louder.

As he spoke, there was a hint of pride in his tone.

Isn't it a great pleasure? I have used all those things at home for many years, and now I can exchange them for new ones. How wonderful!

The two of them chatted enthusiastically about this topic.

No one noticed that Commander Yao and the political commissar had been listening outside the conference room for a long time.

Commander Yao frowned, "Excuse me, whose military dependents are those two?"

"Yes, Chief!"

As soon as the guard finished speaking, Director Cao interrupted him, "Don't ask any more questions. One of them is the family of the deputy battalion commander of the first ship squadron, and the one next to them is the family of the battalion commander Kong of the third squadron."

Commander Yao and Political Commissar Li looked puzzled. "How do you know so much?"

Director Cao took out several letters of complaint from the folder.

"I received this a few days ago. After receiving the report, I sent someone to investigate privately."

During this period, everyone was busy pushing forward post-disaster reconstruction, and he had not had time to report this.

Commander Yao took the letter of complaint and took a look at it.

Then he handed it to Political Commissar Li.

After they saw it, their faces were not very happy.

"Let's go, let's talk about the main point first."

After that, several people walked in from the side door.

As soon as they came on stage, the conference room, which had been in chaos just now, suddenly became quiet.

Time was running out, and Political Commissar Li didn't have time to beat around the bush with everyone, so he went straight to the point.

"I called everyone here today because I have three things to discuss."

"First, the damage caused by this typhoon is quite severe, and the military currently has limited funds."

"According to relevant military regulations, this money should be prioritized for combat readiness and defense."

"This is the bottom line, you can't move even a hair!"

"Secondly, we must protect the farm's construction. The farm is the foundation of our Fourth Division and must not collapse!"

At this point, Political Commissar Li changed the subject, "But the farm's buildings were severely damaged this time. Repairs alone may not be enough."

"If we want to build a factory, the existing funds are far from enough."

"So the first thing I want to tell you today is that we are planning to raise a new fund."

"Just like last time, it's still based on families, and the amount of subscription depends entirely on personal preference."

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience began to discuss.

“Why are you investing more money when you haven’t even made back your investment yet?”

The one who spoke was the sister-in-law sitting in front of Jiang Si.

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and people around her could just hear it.

"When we invested in the cannery two years ago, they said it was a sure win, so our family invested 800 yuan."

"During the Chinese New Year, it was rare to see a return of more than 100 yuan. The money hasn't even warmed up yet, and now they want us to invest again."

"That's right, the capital hasn't been recovered yet."

The other sister-in-law next to her also looked reluctant.

"My house is in a terrible state after being flooded. I don't even have money to buy anything now, so where would I get the money to invest in this?"

After hearing this, the remaining sisters-in-law also silently calculated the small accounts in their hearts.

They don't have a lot of money, but they can still come up with a few hundred yuan.

only--

One sister-in-law raised questions on the spot.

"The cannery was halfway built when it collapsed due to a typhoon. It took a lot of effort for everyone to pool their money and rebuild it, but it collapsed again this time."

"We spent so much money to build a house, but it was gone in less than two years. What was the point of all that money we spent to build this factory?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the sisters-in-law echoed them.

"That's right. Everyone's money didn't just come from the wind. We can't just pool our money and rebuild it every time the factory collapses, right?"

"Anyway, I have no money left, so whoever wants to invest can do so."

"Please rest assured about this matter."

Political Commissar Li explained, "The provincial military district will send geological and architectural experts over in a few days, and we'll then select a new site."
