Chapter 261 Convincing, Control Group Strike
For a while, An Meimei was incomparable in the family compound, and she seemed to be chasing after Jiang Zhizhi.
Jiang Zhizhi himself ignored it, but the sisters-in-law who were on the mountain-collecting herb team and had a good relationship with Jiang Zhizhi were particularly unhappy.
Is it necessary to praise and demote those new military wives?
You guys are praising An Meimei, but you have to pull Jiang Zhizhi down to be happy?
An Meimei's husband is Wei Jiangong, the deputy commander of the 732nd Regiment. He is trying to seize the opportunity to move up in rank, so he naturally regards Lu Xingchen as a stepping stone.
He was very anxious at first, but at this time the article written by his wife An Meimei was published in the county newspaper. During this period, he was in the army and everyone looked at him with envy, which made Wei Jiangong very happy.
When An Meimei first came to the family compound, the name she heard most was Jiang Zhizhi. Although she didn't know him, she had heard the name so many times that she always remembered it in her heart.
Not to mention that An Meimei has now received her royalties and her article has been published in the county newspaper. She will definitely show off in front of those sisters-in-law who flatter Jiang Zhizhi.
But now, An Meimei must be very happy to see Wei Jiangong humming a song. She raised her chin and smiled with deep pride: "I didn't let you down this time, did I? You scolded me for wasting stationery and stamps. Now I ask you, will you still scold me?"
"At least I have some royalties here, and those wives of soldiers in the family compound will be happy."
Wei Jiangong finally realized that the confidence his daughter-in-law spoke of was not an exaggeration.
When he first heard this great news, he was really a little surprised.
Another thing is that An Meimei didn’t succeed on her first try. She wrote and submitted no less than twenty manuscripts before the county newspaper took her notice.
If Wei Jiangong really nags and scolds An Meimei under normal circumstances, he will definitely not bother with An Meimei today as he is enjoying great success in the army.
Wei Jiangong poured himself another glass of water, raised his head and drank it all up, and said in a good mood: "Wife, I will give you money in the next few days, you can buy envelopes and stationery, write a few more articles and submit them, so that your man can be proud."
"If the leaders above see this, you will be one of the best in the entire family compound."
Even his face was shining.
As for Wei Jiangong, as the deputy commander of a regiment, he does have the ability, otherwise he would not have climbed to the position of deputy commander.
You said that he doesn't want to move up in his heart, that's all bullshit.
But even if he wanted to, he couldn't withstand the power of Lu Xingchen and Jiang Wang, who were only 24 years old this year.
These two men have so many military achievements, who wouldn't be jealous?
If Lu Xingchen and Jiang Wang had not maintained a good brotherly relationship when something happened in their home, he would have probably already been promoted to the position of deputy group leader by now.
It was precisely because of Lu Xingchen's action that not only did the soldiers under Lao Lu have an extremely good impression of Battalion Commander Lu, but the group of soldiers led by Lao Jiang also had a little more respect and admiration for this loyal Battalion Commander Lu.
This point is enough to convince everyone!
Therefore, although Captain Lu was fierce and aggressive during training, all the soldiers he led were convinced by him.
In the eyes of the leaders above, this is the outstanding ability of an excellent cadre.
As An Meimei listened, she felt so happy that she even beamed with joy when they went out to chat. Not only did she praise herself a hundred times, she also praised her husband and put down Jiang Zhizhi in the process.
But at the same time, the military district propaganda department once again got the latest two issues of China Daily, which clearly contained Jiang Zhizhi's manuscript.
One article was about the descendants of martyrs, and the other was praising the warriors who defended the country. Everyone in the Propaganda Department was reading Jiang Zhizhi's article seriously.
After all, every soldier who defends his country is great!
After reading the article, Teacher Lian Zhao laughed happily. Good things have happened to him a lot recently, and his good mood is self-evident.
He now feels like there is such a large melon field, with good seedlings vying to grow up, with good roots and positive growth.
In a meeting, Teacher Zhao highlighted Lu Xingchen and praised Jiang Zhizhi, the pride of our school, for bringing honor to our school!
This time, Teacher Zhao was really sincere and rewarded Jiang Zhizhi with a Hero brand pen, an enamel cup with the words "Serve the People" printed on it, ten pounds of pork, and a glorious banner.
Amid the envious gazes of the crowd, Lu Xingchen saluted Teacher Zhao.
His wife was such a great success. He felt refreshed all over, better than after taking the Ten-Ingredient Pill, and better than the first time he stood on the podium to receive an award.
Jiang Wang immediately clapped his hands happily and laughed heartily. His sister was just so awesome.
How could the people present not know that Lao Jiang was so proud that he was soaring to the sky? Tsk, the happiness of being a big brother is really enviable.
The reason why a troublemaker is a troublemaker is that in such occasions, he confidently and boldly reveals his happiest and truest side.
On the contrary, Mr. Zhao didn't mind the roughness of the two. He just liked young guys who were confident and showy.
Lu Xingchen's good mood lasted until he got home, while the others were so tired that their legs were shaking, and they wanted to rush back to the dormitory and lie down on the bed.
But Lu Xingchen was full of energy the whole day, especially when others praised his wife, he became even more excited and even took the initiative to go over and talk to them. He was still happy when he got home, gulped down a large bowl of water, and went up the mountain to collect firewood.
Many military wives in the family compound saw that Captain Lu was extremely diligent. He looked cold and indifferent in front of outsiders, but in front of Zhi Meizi, he was like a completely different person, and his eyes were only focused on Zhi Meizi.
"If nothing else, it's no wonder that Zhi Mei is willing to look at Xiao Lu more."
"Xiao Lu is such a good man, you can't pick one better among a hundred."
"It seems that Xiaolu's wife is destined to enjoy a happy life."
Then I look at my husband. After he comes home, he doesn't even lend a hand to fix the fallen soy sauce bottle. I am so angry that my eyes roll back. I have to take care of the children and do the housework. I have to do all the small things at home by myself. When my husband comes home, he just says, "I'm tired," and he doesn't want to take care of anything.
The child cried, but he pretended not to see it.
The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. The military wives couldn't help but roll their eyes and their noses almost got crooked with anger.
These days, no matter how An Meimei jumped around outside, Jiang Zhizhi would not come out to take care of her.
At this moment, An Meimei raised her head proudly. As soon as she came out, all she heard were the good things that the military district rewarded to Jiang Zhizhi?
I heard there is also a banner. It will be so glorious to hang it in the house!
For the troops, such rewards are truly spiritual food, and they feel energized at the first sight.
Some people, however, took advantage of the excitement and came to ask her if she had received any reward for appearing in the county newspaper.
I also asked her if she was very happy because maybe in a few days it would be her turn to get the banner.
An Meimei almost vomited blood. She was not happy at all. If she really had a chance, Wei Jiangong would have rushed back and shown off to death.
Can’t you see that it’s almost time for dinner and there’s no one around?
Wei Jiangong felt like someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him today. He walked on the road exhausted, not wanting to run into other acquaintances, but a group of people came towards him.
"If you ask me, Captain Lu is really lucky. He has made meritorious deeds time and time again, and the wife he married is beautiful and capable. Both husband and wife are capable, and their future life will definitely get better and better."
"If I am lucky enough to marry a wife like that in the future, I will wake up laughing in my dreams."
"Come on, come on, stop it. I don't need to tell you how much our Captain Lu treasures his sister-in-law, right?"
"Didn't Deputy Group Leader Wei's wife get published in the county newspaper? Didn't I see him come over here today to brag about her?"
"How can the county newspaper compare to the Huaxia Daily? They are simply not on the same level."
"Damn, you really dare to say that. Aren't you afraid that Deputy Captain Wei will come over and punish you? Haven't you seen how happy Deputy Captain Wei has been these past few days?"
Even the new recruits who admired Captains Lu and Jiang had their eyes shining and were eager to try, wishing they could have this opportunity right away.
Everyone smiled like a flower and ran towards the cafeteria full of energy. Their voices were so loud and their tones were so excited that anyone who heard it would feel that they did not think that Captain Lu and his sister-in-law were good people.
Wei Jiangong walked out from beside the big tree, his face looking extremely ugly. He walked away without saying a word.
When she got home, An Meimei put her hands on her hips, swearing a lot, wanting to blurt out everything.
Wei Jiangong was nervous and unhappy, feeling like he was the one who was blamed.
"That's enough! You have such a loud voice, you dare to shout whatever you want. Are you dissatisfied with me for sitting in this seat for too long?"
"Are you still thinking of removing me from my position as deputy regiment commander? And eventually forcing me to retire? If you have the energy to curse here, you might as well write an article and submit it to China Daily!"
