Chapter 266: Second Class Army Badge and 500,000 Yuan Bankbook
She came out and saw Song Yiyuan cooking in the kitchen, then went to wash up.
Soak a towel in hot water, wring it out and apply it on your face. It can not only remove dirt from your pores, but also moisturize your skin.
Lin Qingqing brought a basin of hot water under the awning and applied the hot towel to her face three times, feeling refreshed and comfortable.
She put the water aside and waited until it cooled down before watering the vegetable patch.
She came here a hundred years ago and is very thrifty with water resources. She basically uses water twice a day.
The water used for washing clothes can be used to rinse bluestone slabs, the water used for washing face can be used to water vegetables, and the water used for washing vegetables can be used to wash dishes.
She went back to the house and took two Chinese textbooks to read under the pergola, mainly memorizing some articles and ancient poems.
In 2076, Chinese language textbooks were like essays, not as simple as they are now.
She was halfway through reading when there was a knock on the door.
“Knock knock knock~”
I stood up and opened the door. It was the leader and Political Commissar Wang.
"Chief, Political Commissar, good morning."
Lin Qingqing greeted first.
The chief and Political Commissar Wang had smiles on their faces and were wearing casual clothes, looking more amiable.
"It's just seven o'clock now. I figured you guys must be here before you leave."
The chief said with a smile, and walked into the yard with Political Commissar Wang.
He looked up and saw smoke coming out of the chimney, and knew that Song Yiyuan was making breakfast.
"The two leaders sat down and talked."
Lin Qingqing led the leader and Political Commissar Wang to sit down.
Political Commissar Wang looked at the first Chinese textbook for junior high school placed on the stone table.
He laughed, "Comrade Lin is really eager to make progress. He seizes every opportunity to read."
The commander placed the information bag on the table and sat down nearby. "Well, all the military wives in the compound should follow Xiaolin's example. They have high ideological awareness and take the lead."
Lin Qingqing also sat down, pursed her lips and smiled, and talked about Xiaomei's story.
"Commander, last time you said I have the right to recommend?"
The chief nodded: "Why, do you have anyone to recommend to Wu?"
Lin Qingqing: "It's my cousin Li Xiaomei. She came to visit my family some time ago and stayed for a while. She was so moved by the military spirit that she returned to her hometown in Shaanxi a few days ago and signed up to join the army."
"I just learned about this yesterday and wanted to ask, if she meets the requirements for joining the army, can she be assigned to our unit as a medic?"
The political commissar took over and asked, "Has she signed up for the army? She's quite diligent and salutes everyone she sees. She's a promising soldier."
Political Commissar Wang had a good impression of Xiaomei.
The commander paused for a moment. "Since she's already signed up, I'll check her current political review status and information. We can assess her according to the standards of the 957th Unit and recruit her directly."
Lin Qingqing nodded: "Thank you, Chief."
I know that this is giving her face and also sticking to the assessment standards.
Xiaomei was given the opportunity to be recruited directly. If her personal conditions were not up to standard, the army would be unable to do anything.
She fully understood that if there were no threshold, the Chinese military would be in chaos, and anyone with a little power could recommend their own people to join the army.
The commander waved his hand and said, "I won't keep you any longer this early in the morning. To cut a long story short, you'll need to return to the base later. We came here early this morning to leave you 500,000 yuan and the Second Class Army Badge."
"I was going to give it to you last night, but the commendation ceremony ended too late, and I was afraid to disturb your rest."
After he finished speaking, he took out a red velvet box from the information bag and opened it in his palm.
He stood up and handed it to Lin Qingqing with both hands.
The military badge shone golden in the early morning sunlight, with a large five-pointed star and a relief of Tiananmen Square in the middle, which looked exquisite and sacred.
Lin Qingqing also stood up at the same time, took it with both hands, turned the box over and placed it in his left hand, and saluted with a standard military salute.
"I am grateful for the encouragement from the country. I will definitely do my best in my position, contribute to the development of China, and strive to do better and better."
"Okay, okay, okay, sit down quickly."
The chief was very satisfied and kept saying "good" with a smile that showed his teeth and eyes.
Originally, it was just a few official thank-you speeches, but they loved hearing them from Lin Qingqing's mouth.
He sat down and pushed the information bag in front of Lin Qingqing.
"Here's a 500,000 yuan savings account and a buyout contract."
Lin Qingqing sat down and closed the box containing the military badge and put it away before picking up the document bag and taking out the two contracts and passbook inside.
Political Commissar Wang pulled the ink pad from his pocket, opened it, and placed it on the table. He then removed the fountain pen from his jacket pocket, opened it, and placed it next to the ink pad.
The three-page, double-sided contract was covered with words. Lin Qingqing glanced at each page, then picked up a pen and signed her name on the last page of both contracts.
Dip your index finger in bright red cinnabar and press it on your name.
A clear fingerprint signifies that the contract is officially effective.
The chief smiled and picked up one of the contracts and put it back into the document bag.
"It is China's honor to have you."
Political Commissar Wang sat aside and looked at Lin Qingqing seriously and said.
The chief stood up with the information bag, stretched out his hand and said, "Xiao Lin, China will be your greatest support."
Lin Qingqing shook his hand in return: "Thank you, country, thank you, party."
Political Commissar Wang packed up his things and stood up, saying, "Let's stop here for now. If you have any questions, whether they come from work or at work, you can report them to me."
"Okay." Lin Qingqing responded and sent the two of them out the door.
She turned back to the shed, opened the passbook and looked at it. It was indeed 500,000 yuan.
Now, excluding Song Yiyuan's savings account and the money for the marriage, she has earned a total of 1.09 million in the two months since she came here.
This money may seem like a lot, but it will probably not be enough when you need it later.
It's too expensive to build a base cabin.
She was thinking in her mind, packing up the contract and passbook in her hands. Just as she walked out of the shed, Song Yiyuan also came out of the kitchen.
He glanced at what was in Lin Qingqing's hand, took off his apron and hung it on the rope.
"Is it the Chief and Political Commissar Wang who are here?"
"I'm here to give you my military badge and passbook."
Song Yiyuan smiled, walked over and hugged Lin Qingqing, rubbed her neck, and whispered in her ear: "Qingqing, you are really amazing."
"How can I compare to you? The military badge you wore last night is something I will never be able to earn in my lifetime."
There was a clear hint of sarcasm in Lin Qingqing's words.
Song Yiyuan tightened his arms and said softly, "From now on, you will be my military badge."
Lin Qingqing smiled and pushed away Song Yiyuan, who had been naughty since early morning.
"Hurry up and have dinner, or it will be late."
She went back to the house and put all her things into the space, then came out to have breakfast with Song Yiyuan.
