The two waited at the brigade headquarters for a long time. After drinking a cup of hot water, the company commander of the fifth company, Yang Yongxian, finally hurried over.
He was wearing a black cotton-padded jacket, and his body was still covered in a lot of hay. As soon as he entered the house, he apologized profusely: "I'm sorry, I was just chopping trees with everyone on the mountain behind us. I'm late."
"I'm Yang Yongxian, the company commander of our Fifth Company. Are you the educated youth who came to the countryside from our Fifth Company?" He first looked at Yun Qiao, then at He Tingjun: "Who is this?"
He had been the company commander of the 15th Company for three years, and the number of educated youth he had received was at least 30, if not 50. This was the first time he had seen educated youth coming to the countryside in a military vehicle, so he had to treat them with caution.
Could he be the child of a leader?
He secretly looked at Yun Qiao twice. He was not short, but unfortunately he was too thin.
Look at this frail figure, it's obvious she has no strength at all. If a winter blizzard comes, she might be blown down. How can a girl who can't even stand steadily be made for work?
Yun Qiao greeted Yang Yongxian: "Hello, Company Commander. I am Ye Yun Qiao, the educated youth from Shanghai who was assigned to the Fifth Company this time. This is my brother who brought me here. His name is He Tingjun."
Yang Yongxian immediately said, "They don't share the same surname, so they're probably not siblings, right?"
He Tingjun hummed and smiled: "Although they are not blood siblings, our families are old friends."
"She wants to support the frontier and contribute to the construction of the motherland. Her uncle repeatedly told me to take good care of her."
He Tingjun pulled out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Yang Yongxian:
"Captain Yang, she has joined the Fifth Company and is now your soldier. However, she has never done farm work before, so she may not be very good at it at first. Please be more patient and give her more guidance in the future."
"Don't worry, I've always been tolerant of the educated youth under my command. After all, no one can do a good job right from the start, and everyone learns slowly."
Yang Yongxian took the cigarette and was surprised: "Oh, it's Shanghai brand, a high-end cigarette."
He couldn't bear to smoke, so he put the cigarette to his ear and tucked it in at him, "Did you drive the jeep outside?"
He Tingjun nodded.
"His rank is not low, at least a deputy company commander."
"Like you, a company commander."
Yang Yongxian was slightly startled, and looked at He Tingjun with a higher opinion: "Then you are better than me. I was promoted to company commander when I was almost 30 years old. Are you 15 years old?"
He Tingjun: "No. Ten this year."
"A ten-year-old company commander is awesome." Yang Yongxian himself came from the army, and he knew what it took to be promoted to company commander at such a young age.
He gave He Tingjun a thumbs up sincerely: "Brother, you have a bright future."
He Tingjun smiled and said, "It's just good luck."
"You are being modest. They are all part of the same system. Everyone knows who they are." Yang Yongxian didn't believe what He Tingjun said.
People who have nothing to do can't be promoted so quickly.
He Tingjun didn't deny it, only saying, "We both came from the military, so we're considered brothers. From now on, I'll leave my sister to you. She's very conscious and has a heart that truly loves the sun. She doesn't need any special care from you, just make sure she doesn't get bullied."
Yang Yongxian patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I have my five consecutive vibrators to protect her. I will make sure no one bullies her."
As long as he is not asked to use the back door, he can still agree to this small matter.
