Chapter 70 Chapter 70 I am satisfied, very satisfied! …
Lu Chongfeng stared at Liang Xin's reaction. Seeing her dazed look, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
Liang Xin slowly raised her head and looked at him.
The corners of Lu Chongfeng's mouth curled higher, waiting for Liang Xin to express her touching words, always ready to open his arms to welcome Liang Xin's hug.
But Liang Xin slowly asked, "Where did you get so much money?"
The smile on Lu Chongfeng's face froze. He looked at Liang Xin, then at the jewelry on the table, and asked in disbelief, "You actually asked this as your first reaction!"
"All the money in the family is with me. I'm in school. I see you put your salary in the desk drawer next to your bed every month. It's almost never missing."
Liang Xin picked up the jewelry box containing the dragon and phoenix bracelets and weighed the bracelets. "This pair of bracelets weighs at least 40 to 50 grams. Gold is currently 390 US dollars per ounce. These items together must cost at least 2,000 to 3,000 yuan. Of course, I am curious about where you got this huge sum of money besides your salary."
Lu Chongfeng: “…”
"Tell me first whether you are happy or not."
Liang Xin nodded, "I'm glad."
Lu Chongfeng stretched out his fingers and touched the corners of Liang Xin's mouth. "Why don't you smile when you're happy?"
"I am thinking."
"Thinking about what?"
"Think about where this huge sum of money comes from."
Lu Chongfeng sighed: "You don't know me yet, could it be that he got it through corruption or bribery?"
Liang Xin said nothing and just looked at him.
"It's the bonus for the medal of honor!" Lu Chongfeng picked up the Dragon and Phoenix Drink and put it on Liang Xin's wrist. He looked at the golden luster and the fair and delicate skin, which were shining brightly for a moment. "It looks really good."
Liang Xin looked at the heavy bracelet and asked, "Medal of Merit and bonus?"
"In the past, it was not allowed to use material rewards for meritorious service. The military still does not allow it now, but the local authorities will give a small amount of rewards." Lu Chongfeng said, "I won the first-class collective merit in the Vietnam War, and the local authorities rewarded me with 200 yuan. I also won two second-class merit medals, a total of 200 yuan. Because the three medals were all meritorious service on the front line, I was rewarded an additional 100 yuan, plus the reward from Jiangjing. Zheng Xiaojun has been following the policies of the Special Administrative Region recently and often travels to Hong Kong. I asked him to buy gold for me at the gold shop there."
Liang Xin immediately picked up the necklace and earrings and walked to the mirror on the wall to compare them with her body.
Lu Chongfeng: “….”
Lu Chongfeng laughed out loud, walked behind Liang Xin, raised his arm and passed it through her waist, held her hand, and put the rose ring on her slender middle finger, "I guessed the ring right."
Liang Xin raised her hand and looked at the rose ring. "If you are so good at estimating, why did you buy it for the middle finger instead of the ring finger?"
"Didn't you buy a pair of rings for your ring finger last time?" Lu Chongfeng picked up the necklace again, unbuttoned it, and put it on the outside of Liang Xin's black turtleneck sweater.
The black sweater already makes her fair cheeks look even whiter than snow, and paired with an exquisite gold necklace, she looks even more noble and elegant.
Lu Chongfeng tightened his arms around Liang Xin's waist and tilted his head to kiss her face, "It looks good."
Liang Xin in the mirror had her lips curled up and her eyes were shining with tiny starlight.
"I originally wanted him to bring me a set of golden roses." Lu Chongfeng held the heart pendant on Liang Xin's chest, "We will buy them ourselves when the gold shops in Jiangjing start selling them to the public."
“You bought it just in time.”
Liang Xin touched her unpierced earlobe and said, "The international political and economic environment is on the verge of tension. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan has already pushed up the price of gold. The United States is ready to make another move. If there is another war this year, the current price of $390 per ounce will probably double. I can't wear such ostentatious jewelry when I go to school. I already have a lot of these. I won't buy any more."
Lu Chongfeng said: "This is just one set, others give their wives several sets."
"Who are the others?"
"The hero in the book and the crown prince of a foreign royal family."
Liang Xin: ".......Let's eat."
"Are you hungry?"
Lu Chongfeng looked at Liang Xin in the mirror and said, "Why don't you give me any reaction?"
The corners of Liang Xin's lips were about to rise again, and she turned around and kissed his chin, "Thank you, husband."
Lu Chongfeng pressed the tip of his tongue against his left cheek to hide the corner of his mouth that was curling up crazily. He rubbed Liang Xin's forehead with her chin that she had just kissed. "You're welcome. This is what a husband should do."
Liang Xin's face was immediately filled with smiles. She looked at herself shining in the mirror and said, "I like jewelry, but I like it more because you secretly spent so much money to prepare jewelry for me."
Lu Chongfeng was stunned, "What does this mean?"
Liang Xin turned around and looked at him, "The combination of the two makes me feel very happy."
Lu Chongfeng raised the corner of his mouth, hugged Liang Xin into his arms, and touched her head, "I am satisfied, very satisfied!"
There were sounds of firecrackers outside.
Liang Xin pushed him away and said, "Take off my necklace. Let's go set off firecrackers and have dinner too, shall we?"
"Why take it off? Just wear it during the New Year."
"I'm afraid it will have a bad influence on you."
"You fight hard in the battlefield to defend the country, and the country gives you a certain amount of reward. I will give the reward to my family members who take good care of me in the rear. It must have an impact and also motivate them not to be lazy in training, not to retreat in battle, and to continue to make progress in their studies. Wear it!"
Liang Xin put it on.
As soon as he went out with the firecrackers, he met Li Mao who was also out setting off firecrackers.
“Ouch!”
Li Mao immediately threw the firecrackers to Captain Lei and ran towards Liang Xin, "Oh my goodness, are these all new jewelry? They are obviously new styles. I've seen capitalist relatives of landlords wearing jewelry before, and the styles they wore were not as youthful and beautiful as this!"
This is the first time in Liang Xin's life that she has been so high-profile.
She always chooses black, gray and white for clothes.
But this was a gift specially prepared by Lu Chongfeng.
Liang Xin liked it very much, even though she felt a little uncomfortable, she held it back, "Is it too exaggerated?"
"What's so exaggerated about this? The country has returned the property of intellectuals and capitalists. This is called restoring order." Li Mao said, "I read in the newspapers that the young people in the city with permed hair and bell-bottom pants are many times more exaggerated than you. You are just being fashionable!"
Liang Xin's heart slowly returned to its previous calmness, with a smile still on her face, "You guys have eaten too?"
"Yes, it's time to eat, let's light the firecrackers!"
Li Mao left and looked back at Liang Xin, "It's really beautiful!"
The sound of firecrackers popped to celebrate the new year.
Liang Xin and Lu Chongfeng drank soda because he had to go to the military camp canteen to toast the soldiers later.
Lu Chongfeng tore off the roast chicken leg and put it in Liang Xin's bowl, and ate the very tough chicken breast himself.
Liang Xin understood that he wanted to leave the chicken legs and wings, the tender parts, for her. Before picking up the chopsticks, she pulled off another chicken leg and put it in his bowl, "There are so many dishes, not just one chicken."
"I think you'll have something to eat tomorrow, too."
Lu Chongfeng wanted to put the chicken leg back but was stopped by Liang Xin.
"We won't be able to finish all the dishes tomorrow. There's a whole fish left over there. Besides, we won't cook on the first day of the new year. We can cook it after that if we want to eat it."
Lu Chongfeng said nothing more. He picked up the roast chicken and took a big bite. The skin was crispy and the meat was tender. "It's delicious. I'll roast another one on the second day of the New Year!"
Before Liang Xin finished chewing her mouthful, she saw that Lu Chongfeng had already eaten the chicken leg until only the bones were left. "Is it so delicious?"
“I’ve never had chicken so good!”
As if Lu Chongfeng had already forgotten about the other dishes, he picked up the chicken breast that he was going to eat and started to take a bite. "This is also delicious, not dry anymore, and smells so good!"
Liang Xin gnawed on the roasted chicken drumstick and said, "It would be more delicious if I dip it in chili powder."
“It’s delicious even without dipping!”
Lu Chongfeng picked up the soda and took a big sip. "Keep it in mind. Try it with chili powder on the second day of the new year."
Liang Xin picked up the chopsticks and pointed at the braised pork. "Try this meat. I stewed it with apples and red dates to make it fruity and fragrant."
Lu Chongfeng picked up a piece of shiny braised pork and put it in his mouth. The skin and fat melted away. It was the first time for him to eat braised pork that melted in his mouth. "It's sweet, not greasy, and delicious!"
Liang Xin doesn't eat fatty meat, but she tried two pieces. She couldn't help but get some rice and poured the broth over the rice before eating.
Xiaobai came back from the company. He and Xiaoju finished the fish soup rice made by Liangxin early. Now the two of them were squatting beside the dining table, watching the two people eating with relish.
Lu Chongfeng put the shredded chicken breast into Xiaoju's mouth.
Xiaobai wanted to snatch it, but Xiaoju raised its front paws and slapped it several times, making Xiaobai grimace and try to bite back, but he couldn't bite Xiaoju's paw at all. In the end, he dodged while howling, looking at Xiaoju with grimacing, who was so many times smaller than him but couldn't beat him.
Xiaoju lowered his head and bit the meat, his eyes still on guard against Xiaobai next to him.
"This military dog is not as well trained as the little orange one who stays at home every day."
Liang Xin smiled and tore off a small piece of chicken and gave it to Xiaobai.
Xiaobai came forward happily with his tail in his mouth, carefully avoiding Liangxin's hand, took the meat away, and looked at Xiaoju proudly.
Xiaoju ignored him.
After a lively New Year's Eve dinner, Liang Xin arranged the dishes and covered them with vegetable covers, and Lu Chongfeng went to the military camp cafeteria.
When I came back, I saw Liang Xin sitting on the sofa cutting paper-cuts.
Cutting paper-cuts has become an annual must-do.
"Why don't you turn on the TV?"
Lu Chongfeng came back after washing his hands and turned on the TV. "Nowadays, foreign and Hong Kong movies are often shown on TV."
"I was cutting paper-cuts for the windows, I didn't think about it."
Liang Xin looked up and watched Lu Chongfeng change the channel.
"Have you watched the Japanese version of "The Hunt"? "
“I have.”
"Then look at this, Modern Times from the United States."
Liang Xin did not refuse. This movie was the work of the master Chaplin. Everything from the subtitles, director, screenwriter, leading actor and even the music score were done by Chaplin. She had seen it countless times, but still wanted to see it again.
Lu Chongfeng accompanied Liang Xin in cutting paper-cuts and looked at the foreigners in the movie. He suddenly asked, "You are about to graduate. I see that many universities now hold welcome parties as welcome dances for freshmen. Will there also be a graduation dance when you graduate?"
Liang Xin nodded, "The school already has a ballroom dance training class."
"You participated?"
"No."
"Why not?"
“No time.”
Lu Chongfeng put down the scissors and asked, "What about your graduation dance?"
Liang Xin raised her eyes to look at him, "Why are you suddenly concerned about this?"
"Just asking."
Lu Chongfeng stopped cutting paper and moved to the armrest of the sofa. He leaned close to Liang Xin and asked, "How do you arrange dance partners for ballroom dance training classes?"
"Make your own pair."
"If you don't go and learn now, it will be hard to find a partner, right?"
Liang Xin asked with a smile: "How do you know I don't have a partner?"
"You definitely won't hug and dance with other gay men." Lu Chongfeng said, "I won't do that either! So I'm worried about what will happen to your graduation dance if you continue like this."
Liang Xin: "......Then why don't you practice with me?"
"OK!"
Lu Chongfeng stood up immediately, as if he had been waiting for a long time. "When I was a kid, I saw Soviet experts jump over it. Let's give it a try?"
Liang Xin finished cutting a picture of a magpie climbing a branch, put it on the coffee table, and stood up and said, "Looking at it doesn't mean you can do it."
"Isn't it just you retreat and I advance, I advance and you retreat, repeating the process? What's so difficult about that?"
Lu Chongfeng imitated the Soviet experts he saw when he was a child, bent down gracefully, and opened his palms towards Liang Xin.
Liang Xin saw that he was standing in a very upright position, so she raised her hand and placed it on his palm.
Lu Chongfeng held Liang Xin's hand and put his other hand around Liang Xin's waist. When their bodies were pressed together, the corners of his lips curled up.
Liang Xin looked at his handsome face closely for a long time, "...jump."
Lu Chongfeng stepped forward and stepped on Liang Xin's foot.
Liang Xin called out, and Lu Chongfeng immediately stopped, "Why don't you retreat?"
"Which way to go? Men go to the left, women go back to the right." Liang Xin could tell at a glance that he didn't know how to do it. "Men go to the right, women go back to the left. You can't just walk forward. Also, take one step every two beats."
"So there's a formula, I understand."
Lu Chongfeng understood, and executed it perfectly the next second, moving Liang Xin left and right, and then jumped up.
After standing there for a long time, Liang Xin instructed him to rotate the back of his feet, and the two of them moved their feet sideways and in circles.
Lu Chongfeng was wearing a neat military uniform, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and slightly raised leather shoes under his military pants. He took Liang Xin and elegantly spun around in the long hall, walking side by side, then retreating to the left and advancing to the right in tacit cooperation, drifting to every corner of the long hall.
"Jumped up." Lu Chongfeng straightened his back and looked at Liang Xin, "It's still the leader's teaching that's good. Whatever the leader teaches is good, but I always feel like something is missing."
"music."
"Oh! Yes!"
Lu Chongfeng stopped dancing and said, "Why are we dancing so well, but I still feel like something is wrong? It's because the song doesn't match."
“The dance floor, dance skirts, and dance shoes will all be put together to create a more festive atmosphere.”
Liang Xin let go of her hand and wanted to go back to cutting paper-cuts, but her wrist was grabbed and turned around, returning her to Lu Chongfeng's arms.
Before she could speak, Lu Chongfeng picked up Liang Xin and asked, "Did you forget something?"
Liang Xin grabbed his collar, "What's the matter?"
Lu Chongfeng whispered in Liang Xin's ear, "We need to wash our whole body clean to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new."
Liang Xin was indeed so busy that she forgot, "Did you wash it?"
"I take at least two showers every day, have you forgotten?"
Lu Chongfeng carried Liang Xin to the bathroom, "But, I cooked just now like you, we can wash again together."
As the car was bumping, Liang Xin hugged his neck and said, "After 12 o'clock, it will be the first day of the new year."
Lu Chongfeng: "What happened?"
"On New Year's Day, you can't sweep the floor, wash the dishes, or light a fire..." Liang Xin smiled at his frozen face, "Of course, you can't take a bath either."
Lu Chongfeng held Liang Xin in his arms and walked quickly towards the bathroom, "Don't waste a single minute!"
If Lu Chongfeng hadn't been afraid that Liang Xin would be frozen by the cold air, he would have wanted to pick up the bucket and pour water on himself in order to save time.
He is not afraid of the cold and has taken cold showers in the snow before.
But Liang Xin can't.
Lu Chongfeng had no choice but to prepare the hot water and pour it into the bathtub.
"I want to wash my hair." Liang Xin took off her cotton jacket, "My hair smells like oil smoke."
"There's no smell of oil smoke at all, it smells really good!"
Liang Xin glanced at him and said, "You said I should wash my whole body thoroughly."
“.......”
Lu Chongfeng took a deep breath and brought a bucket of water over.
Liang Xin saw a ladle in the water and thought he was going to help her scoop water and pour it on her hair to wash it.
Jiangkou is so cold in winter that the most you can do is take off your cotton-padded jacket. If you take off your sweater, you will shiver with cold. You have to fold the collar of your turtleneck sweater in and take off your braids.
In an instant, the scent of shampoo wafted out from the hair and hit Lu Chongfeng's nose. He put down the bucket and hugged Liang Xin, "It's too cold. You'll be frozen. I have a good idea."
Liang Xin sat on Lu Chongfeng, her skin turned red from the heat, her cheeks were even redder, her long hair was wet and floating in the water, like an elf growing in the water.
Lu Chongfeng couldn't help but move a few times, but Liang Xin gritted her teeth and pinched his shoulders, and he held his breath. He reached out to the stool outside the bathtub and took a can of Seagull shampoo with the lid open.
When Lu Chongfeng applied the light blue shampoo on Liang Xin's wet black hair, he was suddenly stunned with his eyes wide open.
Liang Xin supported his shoulders and frowned, "What's wrong?"
"Siren."
Lu Chongfeng hugged Liang Xin tightly, watching the blue shampoo applied to her black hair. The blue hair was stuck to the edge of her small face. Her black eyes were bright, her lips were red, her teeth were white, and she looked intoxicated. He squeezed out a low and hoarse voice from between his teeth, "You look like a mermaid."
Lu Chongfeng lost his mind.
It was not until the first day of the Lunar New Year that the shampoo in Liang Xin's hair was kneaded into foam.
Looking at Liang Xin lying on the edge of the bathtub, her black hair floating on the water with foam, and her charming curves beneath her black hair.
I couldn't wash it off even after working it into foam.
Until the foam of the shampoo slowly disappeared, it was almost twelve o'clock. Liang Xin lay on the edge of the bathtub, and Lu Chongfeng stood outside the bathtub, scooping up ladle after ladle of warm water before washing her black hair clean.
Lu Chongfeng took out brand new clothes and put them on Liang Xin.
He was wearing a light blue cable-knit cashmere sweater, black corduroy pants, and a gray-white down jacket on the outside. He half-knelt beside the sofa and put on a pair of leather cotton shoes for Liang Xin.
Liang Xin was dazed when she heard the rustling sound of a down jacket. She opened her eyelids and saw the down jacket. She came to her senses and raised her sleeves. "What is this?"
"This is called a down jacket. It's full of goose feathers. It's many times warmer than a cotton jacket, and it's also lighter and more comfortable to wear." Lu Chongfeng looked at Liang Xin, who looked like a snowman. "I actually wanted to buy you orange and red, but you have to like what you wear, not what I like, so I asked Zheng Xiaojun to buy the off-white color. This color is more resistant to dirt than pure white."
Liang Xin didn't say anything, she just hugged his neck, pulled him over and kissed him.
Lu Chongfeng supported himself with his hands on both sides of the sofa, responding to Liang Xin's rare initiative.
Liang Xin would not stop kissing him, and Lu Chongfeng would keep kissing her until the New Year's Eve next year.
But this time, Liang Xin didn't stop.
Until the sound of New Year's firecrackers rang out one after another.
Liang Xin just pulled away and nuzzled his nose, "Happy New Year."
Lu Chongfeng hugged Liang Xin and said, "Happy New Year. This is our fifth year of marriage."
Liang Xin was put on the bed. "It's time to go to bed, and you just put on my shoes."
"Welcome to the New Year."
Lu Chongfeng didn't mind the trouble at all. He zipped down the side of Liang Xin's cotton-padded shoes and took them off. "Are you sleepy? If not, I'll go cook a bowl of Yuanxiao for you."
Liang Xin was exhausted and indeed hungry.
Lu Chongfeng brought two bowls of black sesame dumplings and placed them on the bedside desk. He picked up the bowl, scooped a spoonful of dumplings, blew on them, and fed them to Liang Xin's mouth.
Liang Xin took the spoon and said, "I'll eat it myself, you should eat it quickly too, don't you have something important to do tomorrow?"
Lu Chongfeng did not refuse again.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, as the first ray of sunlight rises from the east, the sound of firecrackers rang out again in every household.
Liang Xin cooked glutinous rice balls and dumplings sent by Li Mao from next door in the morning.
After breakfast, I walked to the bakery with Lu Chongfeng.
Lu Chongfeng looked at Liang Xin standing shoulder to shoulder with him and said, "It seems like I'm back to when I first joined the army."
Liang Xin turned her head and looked at the corners of his lips that curled up. "So you also liked your previous life?"
"Of course I like the days when we are together every day." Lu Chongfeng said, "But I can't stop you from moving in a positive direction just because I like you."
Liang Xin smiled at him and saw that some of the martyrs' relatives were already walking towards the bakery and going to work separately.
When I went to the bakery for training, the main purpose was to answer questions for the family members, and they could learn by watching and doing.
The products made are all the products commonly sold in bakeries.
When the peach cakes were just out of the oven, the exclamations of the martyrs' families could not drown out the assembly whistle coming from outside.
Liang Xin looked out of the kitchen window and saw that all the cadres of the 22nd Regiment were gathered under the flagpole in the playground.
After instructing Li Mao, who really enjoyed being a training teacher, to take care of the training class, he walked out of the bakery.
As I got closer, I heard the political commissar Ji of the 22nd Regiment standing on the podium in front of the flagpole and speaking into the black microphone: "I will now announce the appointment and removal orders for all the cadres of the regiment!"
Liang Xin clearly felt that the air above the playground suddenly froze, and the tense breathing sounds came one after another, almost deafening.
Lu Chongfeng stood next to the flagpole in a green military uniform, with the red flag above his head fluttering in the wind.
His face was calm, and he took in the expressions of the cadres.
Liang Xin heard as many as forty or fifty names, and all of them were promoted, not demoted.
The tense atmosphere was immediately replaced by continuous joy.
"Appoint Liang Kang, former deputy company commander of the second company of the second battalion, as deputy battalion commander of this battalion..."
Liang Xin heard a familiar name and was attracted by an excited cadre.
That was Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang, who was excitedly patting Liang Kang, who looked confused and a little bit unbelieving.
Liang Kang originally thought that he had offended Captain Lu and had no hope of promotion at all. He even prepared a report for transfer and was ready to go home at any time. However, he did not expect that not only was he promoted, but he was promoted skipping levels and was promoted twice!
"Appoint former 2nd Battalion Deputy Commander Zhang Zhibing to be demoted to battalion headquarters company administrator, and his salary will be reduced by one level from this month..."
Liang Xin froze instantly when she saw the two people who were so excited and happy.
Then, Liang Kang suddenly stood up from the stool.
Zhang Zhibing was obviously startled and immediately pushed Liang Kang down forcefully.
Political Commissar Ji pointed at Liang Kang and asked, "If you have any opinions, come to the regiment headquarters after the meeting!"
Starting with Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang, Liang Xin heard the names of six or seven cadres who were demoted, some were transferred with their posts, and some were given a deadline to correct their mistakes.
The playground was completely silent except for the sound of the wind.
Everyone's different gazes passed through Political Commissar Ji and fell on Lu Chongfeng behind him.
Excitement, excitement, admiration, complexity, jealousy...
“I can’t figure it out!”
Liang Xin saw a cadre stand up and said, "I have never made any political mistakes or administrative violations. Why should I be demoted?"
Just as Political Commissar Ji was about to speak, Lu Chongfeng raised his hand to stop him and took a step forward.
All eyes were focused on Lu Chongfeng.
He picked up the microphone on the podium and said, "You have never made a mistake, nor have you violated administrative discipline. You have done a good job, have an honest personality, and abide by the law."
The cadre nodded, "Right! That's why I can't figure it out!"
"So you spend all your time working hard and carefully not to offend anyone, trying to figure out your boss's thoughts, reading his expressions, and doing whatever he says every day. For more than a decade, you've been doing what he likes and avoiding what he dislikes."
Lu Chongfeng said coldly: "This is the army. The law of the army is to eliminate the weak and retain the strong. The goal is to dominate the battlefield and win, and to protect the country and the people."
"If the army is full of people like you who have a narrow knowledge base, can't keep up with the times, and just want to live a safe life, it would be better to invite the members who have suffered in the countryside to the army to live and work in peace and enjoy a good life, and then wait for the missiles to fly over our heads one day and destroy them together with the people of the country."
Liang Xin saw that Liang Kang's emotions suddenly calmed down, and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang also lowered his head.
Lu Chongfeng looked at the cadre who "couldn't figure it out" and said, "Still not convinced? Well, you are a cadre engaged in politics. From the hostage crises and frequent political events that have occurred internationally in the past two years, pick one and analyze the international situation and what advantages and disadvantages it will have on our country and society."
The "I can't figure it out" cadre stood in the cold wind and didn't say a word for a long time.
Lu Chongfeng added: "Then let's talk about the development trend of the new world military revolution, in which direction the international war will change, and how our army should strengthen its sense of responsibility, combat thinking, military skills and military equipment."
The cadre who "can't figure it out" had a red face and his originally straight back now seemed to be shaky.
Without waiting for Lu Chongfeng to ask again, he slowly sat down.
"I am very glad that there are only a few such cadres in our regiment. Compared with the cadres who have been promoted, they account for an overwhelming proportion of those who have been demoted. I hope you will not get carried away and become cocky. The mission of the army is to build the strongest steel front for the people, capable of both offense and defense. However, our country is currently far behind the international level. We need to catch up on the thorny uphill road and keep this upward momentum throughout our lives, only then can we stand on the winning side."
Applause broke out.
Lu Chongfeng raised his hand to stop him. "The cadres who were demoted cannot accept it because of the old custom that 'cadres can go up but not down'. After the loss of Jieting, Zhuge Liang demoted himself by three levels, which became a historical legend. So a temporary demotion is nothing. If you don't admit that you are mediocre, no one can really put the hat of mediocrity on your head. Cadre reform is a good medicine. As long as you wake up and catch up like other cadres, you still have a chance to be promoted. The cadres who were promoted this time are just ahead of you temporarily. In the future, the general may be one of you!"
