"The duty shifts are rotated monthly. Last year, our military region's division commander was transferred away, and the deputy division commander, due to special personal reasons, has been staying at his father-in-law's house in the provincial capital. Director Li and I take turns on duty."
"Of course, this year's and last year's can't be combined. What I mean is, the three of us should take turns."
Shen Jichuan knew what Wang Gang meant by those words.
It must have been Director Li who raised the issue.
It takes at least four months to prepare for border defense.
It could take up to five months.
Because there will be a period of cold and gloomy weather with possible snowfall after the New Year.
Shen Jichuan didn't care about that. Since he was already here, he was prepared for what to do.
Besides, compared to Political Commissar Wang and Director Li, he was considered young.
There's nothing to complain about if you do a little more work.
He was just a little worried about Wen Qiao.
Therefore, Shen Jichuan thought to himself that he had to find a nanny to take care of Wen Qiao before his shift started.
Shen Jichuan said, "Political Commissar Wang, you can make the arrangements directly. These matters are your responsibility."
Military matters fall within Shen Jichuan's scope of work.
But Wang Gang can arrange the duty schedule directly.
But Wang Gang felt that he should at least give Shen Jichuan a heads-up on the surface.
Hearing Shen Jichuan say this, Wang Gang felt a sense of relief.
As long as the newly arrived Deputy Division Commander Shen has no objections, he can easily arrange work for him.
Their military region division headquarters currently has no division commander.
Logically, a division commander should have been transferred before Deputy Division Commander Shen arrived.
The deputy division commander is here, but the division commander's position is still vacant.
The higher-ups said that if there was anything, one should speak directly to Deputy Division Commander Shen or consult his opinion.
Wang Gang was unclear about the specific identity of this newly arrived Deputy Division Commander Shen, so naturally he dared not offend him.
Fortunately, Deputy Division Commander Shen was relatively easy to talk to.
They are even easier to talk to than Director Li.
Director Li intends to retire in this position.
Therefore, they tend to be careless and perfunctory in many matters.
Wang Gang didn't bother with him; he would assign work directly without consulting him.
The more you try to negotiate, the more arrogant he becomes.
Shen Jichuan and Wang Gang had already arrived at the military region's division headquarters.
They had a meeting this morning about border defense arrangements, but Director Li hasn't arrived yet.
Yu Mengxian brought extra money with her when she came, since she doesn't need receipts or vouchers when she's abroad.
But after returning to China, knowing that various receipts were needed at that time, she spent money to buy some.
This came in handy just in time.
Wang Yueju accepted the gifts from Yu Mengxian, treating Yu Mengxian like a younger sister.
But life wasn't easy for the Li family either; besides their own small family, they also had to support a whole host of other people.
Director Li also has elderly parents, and he sends money back to his hometown every month.
Director Li is the eldest son in his family, with younger brothers and sisters.
My sister is married, so I can ignore her and not care about her anymore.
But the younger brother in this family, after getting married, had five children, and couldn't support them by earning work points in their hometown.
Director Li's elderly parents asked him for money, saying that an elder brother is like a father to his parents.
Besides his eldest brother, who has five children he can't afford to support, he also has a younger brother who is unmarried.
Because he was born late in life to his parents, and is about the same age as Director Li's eldest son, he still hasn't gotten married.
