You know, although their brigade is poor, there are many people who are suitable to be soldiers.
If he wants to compete for these four places from so many people, he will have to work harder.
Thinking of this, he hurried back to the mountain to hunt two wild game for the captain. Unexpectedly, on the way, he met people from the neighboring village who were going to the town to sell pheasants.
Without thinking, he bought all three pheasants from the other party.
He hurried back to the village and saw Er Gouzi, a fellow villager, had caught a few fish. Zhuang Weixing went up to him and bought two slightly larger fish to take home.
Together with the brown sugar and snacks I bought two days ago, there are four items in total, which is considered a relatively expensive gift.
He just didn't believe that such a valuable gift couldn't earn him a place in the army.
So, there was the scene where the captain and he met. Captain Li Tiejun frowned when he saw Zhuang Weixing, then turned his head and pretended not to see him.
But Zhuang Weixing would never give up this hard-earned opportunity easily. He stepped forward, grabbed the captain's hand and shook it tightly twice.
Then, he pulled him and walked towards the captain's yard.
While saying to the captain: "Captain, you are back. I was looking for you for something!"
The captain wanted to pull his hand back, but the other party held it very tightly and he couldn't get rid of Zhuang Weixing's hand after shaking it several times.
Finally, he could only say, "Brother Zhuang, if you have anything to say, just tell me! If you keep grabbing me like this, my hand will be crippled."
Hearing this, Zhuang Weixing finally let go of Li Tiejun's hand and said with an awkward smile: "Hey, hey, hey, Captain, look at what you said, I'm just too excited to see you!"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense.
"If you have anything to say, just say it! I have something else to do!" The captain didn't buy his nonsense at all and pinched his hand which was a little painful from being gripped by him.
Zhuang Weixing then put away his smile and said to Li Tiejun, "Captain, I came to see you today because I have something.
Otherwise, let’s go in and talk!”
Li Tiejun took a look at Zhuang Weixing and said, "Okay, then come in!"
I wonder what this kid is up to? Li Tiejun thought as he walked into the house.
Zhuang Weixing didn’t know what the captain was thinking. He was thinking about what to say.
After a while, the captain brought Zhuang Weixing into the house. Aunt Zhuang, who was preparing to cook in the kitchen, saw Zhuang Weixing coming, curled her lips, and reluctantly went to pour tea.
Zhuang Weixing also knew that he was not popular among the villagers, so he didn't say anything.
After Aunt Zhuang left, Zhuang Weixing opened the bamboo basket in his hand and pushed it towards Li Tiejun.
Then he said, "Captain, I came to see you today. I want to ask you to assign me a place. I want to join the army."
Li Tiejun, who was lighting a cigarette, felt his hand tremble when he heard Zhuang Weixing's words.
The match he just lit didn't light up but instead burned his hand. He was so scared that he quickly threw away the lit match.
After blowing on his still sore fingers a few times, Li Tiejun looked up at Zhuang Weixing.
This kid has changed? He's actually learned it well?
No, he seemed to have changed after the New Year. A man who never worked in the fields before actually started working there.
What happened in between to make him become like this?
Li Tiejun didn't think that this change was a bad thing, but he felt that the change was too big and it was difficult for him to accept it for a while.
Zhuang Weixing, who was sitting opposite Li Tiejun, thought that he disagreed and felt a little anxious.
This is his only chance to change his fate and catch up with his senior sister, he cannot give up.
Zhuang Weixing also knew that he had not studied well in the past and many people in the village looked down on him. The team leader probably had the same idea.
So he assured the captain, "Captain, I have reformed. I will be a good person and work hard in the future. Please give me a chance."
Li Tiejun listened to him without saying anything.
Instead, he took out a match, rubbed it, and lit the cigarette in his hand. He took a deep puff and then said slowly, "Take the things back. I'll think about it."
"Captain, this is a little gift from me, please accept it!" Zhuang Weixing said as he pushed the bamboo basket on the table forward.
Li Tiejun looked up at Zhuang Weixing and said, "If you don't take the things back, I will directly remove your name."
"Captain, please don't do this.
I'll take the things back now, you can take your time to think about it!" Zhuang Weixing quickly took the bamboo basket and said.
Seeing Zhuang Weixing's actions, Li Tiejun took another slow puff of his cigarette and said, "Alright, go back! I'll think about this carefully."
"Okay, thank you, Captain." With that, Zhuang Weixing turned over the basket, poured the things onto the table and ran away.
Li Tiejun was smoking with his head down. When he heard the noise, he looked up and was startled.
When he saw what was on the table, Li Tiejun quickly called out to him, "Zhuang, come back here."
When Zhuang Weixing heard Li Tiejun's shout, he ran even faster and in the blink of an eye he ran out of the yard and disappeared.
Aunt Zhuang, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard her husband's voice and stuck her head out to look. Then, she shook her head and went back to cooking.
What she was thinking was: The old man must have been pissed off by the guy from the banker again.
Li Tiejun in the main room didn't call anyone back, so he could only turn around and go back to the room. When he saw the things on the table clearly, Li Tiejun didn't know what to say?
He couldn't figure out where this guy got so many good things from?
Pheasants run fast and fly high, so it is not easy to catch them.
And this fish. Although many children in the village go to the river to catch fish, they rarely catch such a big fish.
Not to mention the brown sugar and snacks, these two things can't be bought with money, you need tickets to buy them. Where did he, a country boy, get the brown sugar tickets and snack tickets?
Li Tiejun couldn't figure it out. Could it be that he got it when he was hanging out in the town?
It's possible. I heard that this guy used to be involved in the black market in this town.
Never mind where he got the ticket from.
In short, these things can't be accepted, otherwise what will happen if others follow his example? Will his reputation as a team leader still be there?
Thinking of this, Li Tiejun turned around and took a bamboo basket and put the things in it.
He was just about to cover it with a piece of cloth and then return it to Zhuang Weixing.
At this time, Aunt Zhuang came in with dishes. When she saw the things on the table, she said happily, "Oh! So many good things.
I was just worried about what to give Huaer when I go to her house tomorrow! These two pheasants are really fat, Huaer will definitely be honored if I give them to her."
Li Tiejun, who was looking for scraps of cloth in the house, heard her words and quickly ran out and said, "These things belong to others, don't touch them!"
"Whatever belongs to us is ours. Once it's delivered to our house, it becomes ours." As he said that, he took out the brown sugar and snacks in the basket and walked into the room.
Li Tiejun stopped her and said, "Do you know who sent these things? Just accept them."
"Whose is it? Could it be that this kid Zhuang Weixing sent it?" Aunt Zhuang said uncertainly.
