Chapter 40: A New Brigade Commander
After Zhou Weihong tried growing bean sprouts once, the bean sprout trend spread widely in the military region.
Even the military canteen started to have bean sprouts. When other families were still eating bean sprouts, Cheng Jinghao's family already had Chinese cabbage grown in the greenhouse on their table.
When the news that the vegetables grown in Lin Momo's greenhouse were ripe spread throughout the military district's family compound, many military families came to watch the fun.
"We call this green vegetables," said a military dependent.
"It is really possible to grow vegetables in this Tibetan area. Comrade Lin is really amazing."
"I didn't grow many of these vegetables. I'm really embarrassed. I'll share some with you." Lin Momo said with a smile.
"It's okay, we're just here to take a look, and then we'll learn all kinds of things later."
"Yes, Comrade Lin, if all the vegetables in your greenhouse are good, we will build a greenhouse next year and I will come to learn from you."
"Okay, we'll study together then." Lin Momo nodded with a smile.
After the military families left, Lin Momo started to get busy. There was weed growing in the greenhouse vegetable garden, and she had to weed it out.
Not long after, Li He and the other three came over.
"We came here specifically to wait for them to leave." Luo Yumei said with a smile.
"I agreed to come and help you." Liu Qian said and started to help.
"Thank you, three sisters." With the three of them, Lin Momo felt relieved.
"Don't be polite, we even ate your food." Li He said with a smile.
Lin Momo only gave the cabbage to the three of them, Zhou Weihong and Commander Chen, because there were indeed too many and enough to share.
"Are these melons about to hang from the vines?" Li He looked at the loofahs in the corner.
"It should be soon."
"The pepper trees in your greenhouse are growing really well, much better than the ones we planted back then." Luo Yumei looked at the pepper trees that had not yet produced peppers. They were growing better than the ones they had planted back then.
"Look at the temperature in here. Momo's cow dung has been burning all the time." Liu Qian pointed at the burning cow dung and said that they had to take off their cotton jackets when they came in to work.
"By the way, I heard that there will be a new brigade commander and a deputy battalion commander." Li He said. Her family worked in the military academy of the Eastern Military Region, so she was well-informed about such things.
"Why two transfers at the same time?" Liu Qian asked in confusion. It was reasonable that there would be transfers, especially for a position like deputy battalion commander.
"They are a family. I heard they are father-in-law and son-in-law." Li He explained.
"A whole family goes to the same military region?" Luo Yumei was shocked.
At that time, Political Commissar Cao's son was transferred to the Southwest Military Region by the organization. In order to avoid suspicion, he took his wife and children and asked to go to the Construction Corps.
Even Zhao Zhigang, who was obviously a child from an academy, still went to the Southwest Military Region as soon as he joined the army to avoid suspicion.
The four of them worked quickly and finished the job in an hour.
Lin Momo took some snacks sent by Cheng's mother and gave them to the three of them to take back for the children.
"Every time you come, you bring us things, which makes us dare not come." Liu Qian said with a smile.
"After you finish eating, it will get damp if you put more." Lin Momo smiled and said goodbye to the three of them.
It's November now, and the temperature in Beijing should be getting colder. A few days ago, Lin's mother sent a telegram saying that her family had sent something.
As soon as the new Brigade Commander He arrived, he started a conflict with Army Commander Chen and Political Commissar Cao.
The Southwest Military Region was originally the military region with the most difficult conditions. There were only five vehicles in the entire military region, all of which were parked in the military region and could be used by anyone who needed them. As soon as Brigade Commander He arrived, he asked for a car.
In the entire military region, only the army commander, because he is single, has a guard to take care of his daily life. Brigade Commander He requested two guards.
Because the family compound in the Southwest Military Region was newly built and there were enough houses, all the places for accompanying troops were opened from the barracks.
Brigade Commander He came with his son-in-law, who was also the deputy battalion commander. Actually, there was nothing wrong with the family living together, but Brigade Commander He insisted on having two separate residences.
"If you want, let Zeng Wei live with you. If you want, let him live in the dormitory. This matter is non-negotiable." Commander Chen said, slapping the table.
"When we were in the Southern Military Region..." Brigade Commander He had not finished his words.
"Then you should go back to the Southern Military Region. When you arrive at the Southwestern Military Region, you must abide by the rules of the Southwestern Military Region." Commander Chen slammed the transfer orders of Brigade Commander He and Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng on the table.
Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng pulled Brigade Commander He and said that the transfer order had come down from above and they couldn't just go back whenever they wanted.
Brigade Commander He didn't say anything else. After all, he had just arrived, and it would not be good for them if the relationship became strained.
After Brigade Commander He and Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng left, Army Commander Chen was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
"What the hell is this?" Commander Chen said, pointing at the door.
"Are you afraid of making yourself angry? People like this should be let go after a while." Political Commissar Cao drank his tea slowly.
"Let's go. It's so easy to say." Commander Chen looked at him.
"Zeng Wei wants to join the combat team? Do you think Cheng Jinghao will let him in given his condition?" Political Commissar Cao put down the cup in his hand.
"He has never participated in a single battle. How did you figure out how he got the title of deputy battalion commander?" Political Commissar Cao smiled.
"Is he asking his son-in-law to come here to gild his reputation?" Commander Chen looked through Zeng Wei's information.
"He only has this one daughter. He is paving the way for his son-in-law before he retires. His son-in-law is already a deputy battalion commander."
"Is he paving the way for his son-in-law? It's almost as good as sending him on his way." Commander Chen shook his head.
The missions of this combat team are all risking their lives, so who can get in?
"Leave this matter to Cheng Jinghao. He knows what he is doing, so don't worry." Political Commissar Cao said.
"I don't know where this guy has come up with a set of training methods recently, and the combat team has become stronger."
"No matter what, the children of the Zhao family are very convinced of him." Commander Chen walked to the window and looked at the more than 20 figures on the training ground. The snow was falling heavily outside. Those young figures were wearing thin clothes and were steaming.
During the day, the combat team trained with the 꺶 family. After the 꺶 family rested, the combat team continued training.
Cheng Jinghao and others were training, Brigade Commander He and Zeng Wei went downstairs and went directly to the training ground.
Cheng Jinghao and others stopped to salute Brigade Commander He, and then prepared to resume training.
"This is Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng. He will join your combat team soon." Brigade Commander He said, his attitude full of official authority.
"I'm sorry, Chief. No matter who joins our combat team, they need to go through an assessment." Cheng Jinghao said.
"놖 is the new brigade commander."
"Even if you are the commander of the army." Cheng Jinghao did not give in, "If he wants to join, he can take the assessment."
"What assessment?" Zeng Wei asked.
"Xu Boqing, step out." Cheng Jinghao shouted.
"Yes." Xu Xiaoqing ran out.
"This one is one of our company commanders. You have to pass him first before taking other tests." Cheng Jinghao said.
Xu 녊qing made a gesture of invitation. However, Zeng Wei fell to the ground with just one move.
Twenty or so people were trying to hold back their laughter, and at Cheng Jinghao's signal, Xu Dongqing returned to the team.
"You're really useless." Xu said in a clear voice.
Cheng Jinghao glanced at Zeng Wei on the ground and asked, "Has Deputy Battalion Commander Zeng never participated in training?"
