Chapter 101: Bureau of Acquaintances

Shi Tingyu looked at the numbers she calculated and felt a little uneasy.

She wondered if she had published comic strips too frequently. It would be better to wait two years and continue when the environment was better.

She believed that the cost of reprinting her two comic strips would be enough for her to live on for a long time.

In a few years, she could continue her stagnant painting career. By

then, she would definitely earn more than comic strips.

When Lu Weiguo came back, Shi Tingyu showed Lu Weiguo the remittance slip and told her about her plan.

Lu Weiguo's mood improved visibly, "That's good. You are too tired on weekdays."

Shi Tingyu didn't feel tired at all. She lived a fulfilling life.

While the two were resting, Lu Weiguo took Shi Tingyu to the post office in the town to deposit the money in the remittance slip into the passbook.

The people in the post office saw that the two were already very familiar with each other.

They don't see many remittance slips of such large amounts, especially in just a few months, this is Shi Tingyu's second time to deposit money.

The procedures are familiar, so it was done quickly.

The two bought some fruits in the town and took them back, because the new leader Han wanted to treat them tonight.

Leader Han and his family had moved in a few days ago, and they should have packed up during this time, so they started preparing for the treat. Shi

Tingyu didn't go this time.

It is indeed a default for them to not bring family members when they treat, and the last time to Zhao Tuan's family does not count.

Captain Zhao invited her because of the lecture. Since she was invited, if the families of other people were not invited as well, there would be gossip.

So he just invited them all together.

They have known each other for several years, and now that they are being transferred, it is a good opportunity to talk to each other individually.

Captain Han's family also wanted a small courtyard.

Captain Han and his wife are both city dwellers. They have had enough of living in a cramped building. In the original military district, they also lived in a building. This time, when they were transferred to a new camp, they chose a small courtyard in the family yard.

Captain Han's yard is not far from Lu Weiguo's house, two rows behind theirs.

The layout is similar to theirs, but the area is larger.

When Captain Han saw Lu Weiguo, he walked over with a smile, grabbed his arm and pressed it, "Good boy, you are still as strong as you were in the past. How long have we not seen each other?"

Lu Weiguo rarely smiled, "I haven't seen you since I came down from the battlefield. It's been more than two years."

He came down from the battlefield in August 1973.

Captain Han said with emotion, "It's been more than two years without me noticing. When I see you, I think of our days on the battlefield."

Lu Weiguo was also quite emotional.

Captain Han is forty years old this year, with a strong figure and looks like a bear. His palms are like palm-leaf fans, and he has a similar temperament to Lu Weiguo.

Captain Han called his own son over and introduced him to Lu Weiguo, "This is my good-for-nothing kid, Han Wei."

Then he said to his son, "Little Wei, this is your Uncle Lu, call me Uncle."

Han Wei looked a lot like Captain Han. He was already 1.8 meters tall at the age of 15 or 16, with a strong body and glasses on his face. He was actually nearsighted.

Han Wei adjusted his glasses and called, "Hello, Uncle Lu."

Lu Weiguo nodded, and seeing Han Wei's calm face, he was a little surprised. Few people were not afraid of him when they met him for the first time. Although this kid was young, he was quite courageous. When

Captain Han saw the mud on Han Wei's hands, his face darkened, "Wash your hands thoroughly. We have guests at home, stop stirring your mud balls."

Han Wei said nothing, turned around and went back to the house.

Captain Han did not treat Lu Weiguo as an outsider, and could not help but complain to him, "You said he was a good kid with a good physique. It would be fine if he didn't join the army, but after graduating from high school this year, he stayed at home playing in the mud all day and didn't go out to find a job. His mother and I are so worried, and it's useless even if the belt is broken."

Lu Weiguo did not expect that the child of Captain Han would be in such a situation, but he still said, "It's a pity for a child of this age to be so young . The child is rebellious. If beating him doesn't work, you should have a good talk with him and see what he really thinks. I think Xiaowei is quite opinionated and doesn't seem like a planless person. "

Captain Han was used to having a bad temper. When his son was born, he thought that he would definitely let his son join the army in the future. Later, as the child grew up, the child's body became stronger and stronger, and he became more determined in this idea.

Who knew that when the child grew up, he would never join the army.

He had been thinking about it for many years, and suddenly his son broke it. You can imagine how depressed he was.

The father and son had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days.

But he could still listen to Lu Weiguo's words.

But now was not the time to teach the child a lesson. Captain Han said, "Okay, let's not talk about the child. Let's go inside and sit down. We haven't talked for a long time."

Lu Weiguo followed Captain Han into the house.

Captain Han asked the question that he had been holding back for a long time, in confusion: "You were the battalion commander two years ago. According to your qualifications and military achievements, you should have been promoted this time. Why haven't you made any move yet?"

Lu Weiguo did not hide it and told him that he was married.

Captain Han didn't know whether to congratulate his brother on his marriage or to feel sorry that he was implicated and didn't get promoted.

Lu Weiguo saw what Captain Han was thinking and said with a smile, "I don't care whether I get promoted or not. As long as I am still in the camp, I am happy. Besides, my wife is very nice. I feel happy to meet her."

Captain Han laughed at his description.

"You kid, it seems that you are very satisfied with your sister-in-law." Captain Han said, "I didn't know you were married yet, and I didn't invite your sister-in-law to come this time. So, you should go back and see her now, don't let your sister-in-law busy with the meal, invite her to have dinner together and get to know her."

Lu Weiguo knew his wife. In her words, she was a little socially anxious and didn't like socializing. She was probably uncomfortable being the only female guest here.

So he declined Captain Han's kindness.

"My wife should have cooked the meal by now. We have a dog at home, so let's forget about it this time. I'll bring her here to get acquainted next time when I have time."

Captain Han also knew Lu Weiguo's character and that he would never come for nothing, so he did not force him and said, "It's a deal. Next time you have time, you must bring your sister-in-law over." While

the two were talking, the other people arrived one after another.

Seeing how Lu Weiguo and Captain Han were getting along, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the two knew each other. It was said that a new official would start with three fires. With someone who knew them well, they would not be at a loss.

Even though Captain Zhao had said some things about Captain Han at the beginning, they had not met him personally, so they were still a little uncertain in their hearts.

Now it's okay, they feel at ease.

They are not afraid of the leader, but just afraid of trouble.

The atmosphere in their camp is relatively good, and they don't want to make it gloomy just because a new leader is transferred in.
