Chapter 70
Dongdongdong...
Lu Cheng raised his head, stood up immediately, and saluted: "Captain."
"Sit down, sit down." The captain looked at Lu Cheng, and his heart was filled with emotion. "Your promotion documents have come down, and you will officially take over my position on the 1st of next month. I will hand over the things on hand to you, and then I will be transferred."
Lu Cheng had no idea about this matter, he knew it a long time ago. The only thing that was a little reluctant was that the captain was going to be transferred to another place. However, it was not very reluctant. For them, life and death are long-standing. They have learned to put the reluctance deep in their hearts, and then turn it into motivation to work harder for the future of the motherland.
Lu Cheng was silent for a while: "Don't worry, I will be in charge of the independent regiment in the future."
This is what the regiment commander wanted to hear the most: "When I joined the army, I was assigned to the independent regiment, and I started as a soldier. I also watched the veterans leave one by one, and the new recruits become more and more promising... Now you take over, I am relieved." After chatting for a while, he took out the appointment document, "Although it is a bit old-fashioned, I still want to say, congratulations to you, Comrade Lu Cheng."
Lu Cheng saluted again: "Thank you for your care over the years."
Dongdongdong...
Another knock on the door. Lu Cheng and the regiment commander turned around at the same time, and saw that it was the political commissar. The political commissar rarely came to the independent regiment because the independent regiment had its own system, but he didn't expect to come today.
"What a rare guest..." the regiment commander said, "Did you also come here to congratulate us because you heard about it?"
"Rumor? What rumor?" The political commissar hadn't responded yet.
The regiment commander was really helpless: "Today, the document issued by the higher authorities has arrived. Comrade Lu Cheng officially becomes the head of our independent regiment from today onwards."
The political commissar's eyes widened, and he immediately responded: "Look at my brain, congratulations, the document has finally come down, Comrade Lu Cheng, you must treat us. I have heard that your wife, Comrade Lin, is a good cook. Thanks to the efforts of her and the comrades in the kitchen squad, the third company's kitchen squad has become famous. You must treat us."
"You really are... Lu Cheng got promoted, and you only thought about food." The regiment commander said unhappily, but "I'll bring the wine, and you must treat us."
"Hahaha..." The political commissar laughed, "Look at what you said, you are more anxious than me."
Lu Cheng, who really didn't want to treat the guests, didn't dare to agree directly: "I have to ask my wife about this matter." The three words "my wife" made ripples in his mouth. Only in this case, he dared to call her his wife. On weekdays, they all abided by their duties and dared not say a word that went against the rules.
"Yes, yes, yes, we have to ask Comrade Lin about this. Comrade Lin is the chef. We dare not go beyond her, otherwise we will definitely not have good food to eat, hahaha..." The chief of staff laughed, and then remembered something, "Speaking of this, I also have something here, which is related to Comrade Lin."
Hearing about the matter related to Lin Qingqing, Lu Cheng perked up: "What is it?"
"I heard that since Comrade Lin joined the third company's kitchen squad, the food in the third company's kitchen squad has gradually improved." The political commissar said.
"I can testify to this. My wife often goes to the third company's kitchen squad to get food." The regiment commander said. Whether it is pickled meat or vegetables, they are delicious. Some dishes look simple, but when his wife makes them according to her instructions, she just can't make them taste this good. "My wife said that there are many people in the family compound who also get food from the third company's kitchen squad."
"That's exactly what happened." The political commissar continued, "Now the problem has come. People from other companies are also getting restless. They see that the food of the comrades in the independent regiment is getting better and better, and they are getting impatient. Especially in the past two days, the weather was hot, and your independent regiment made green bean soup and soy milk, which made other regiments wonder whether the budget of the independent regiment's kitchen team was more. But we all know that the budget of each regiment's kitchen team is the same. This budget does not pass through the hands of the kitchen team, and our troops are the ones who settle the bill, so there is no problem of different budgets.
Later, after I investigated, I found out that Comrade Lin Zhi took several military wives from the family compound to do business with the supply and marketing cooperative. This business required wood ash, so she used the wood ash from the kitchen squad, and the kitchen squad used the money earned from the wood ash to add snacks to the comrades. We will definitely allow this, as it can increase the income of the military wives and improve the food of the comrades. But the problem is... in a unit, if you have food and others don't, then the bad boys will not accept it. "
The regiment commander said, "There is no way, we can't use the money from the wood ash of the independent regiment to add meals to other squads, right? These few dollars are not enough." The regiment commander naturally knew about this.
The political commissar said: "Of course not, so I thought of a way. Let's ignore the mung bean soup and soy milk for now, can't we improve the food of the kitchen staff in other regiments? You see, the same eggplant, the one eaten by the kitchen staff is called cold eggplant, and the one eaten by other squads is called steamed eggplant... When you hear the name, the eggplant in the kitchen staff is more presentable, don't you think?"
Lu Cheng asked: "Then what do you mean?"
The political commissar finally got to the point: "What I mean is that Comrade Lin doesn't have to work in the kitchen staff of the third company, but directly go to the logistics department. We will assign her to the organization, and the food of the entire unit will be arranged by her in the future. Do you think Comrade Lin can take on this important task?"
Lu Cheng was stunned: "Join the organization of the logistics department, that's the organization of our unit." It is equivalent to a female soldier in the logistics department.
The political commissar said, "That's what I mean. After all, she is a military wife, so there must be no problem with her political background."
Lu Cheng said, "I'll ask her."
The political commissar said, "Okay, this matter does need her consent, so I'll wait for your good news."
Lu Cheng did not promise because he didn't know what Lin Qingqing was thinking.
That night, Lu Cheng had dinner in the canteen of the third company's kitchen squad. After Lin Qingqing got off work, the family of three walked on the road and he mentioned this matter: "The political commissar came to me today and talked about two things, both of which are related to you."
Lin Qingqing was a little surprised, and then said: "I can probably guess one thing, but I can't guess the second thing."
This surprised Lu Cheng: "Guess."
Lin Qingqing smiled slightly: "The first thing should be related to what happened this afternoon. This afternoon, several squad leaders of the kitchen squad came to squad leader Qi and asked us to unify the dishes in our canteen and other canteens, and to prohibit things like mung bean soup and soy milk, because comrades from other companies are protesting."
"There's this matter too?" No wonder the political commissar came to discuss with him, it turned out there was this before. "Indeed, one thing is related to this. The political commissar said that you are invited to join the logistics department of the army and be responsible for the food of the entire army canteen. In addition to our independent regiment, our army has 36 companies, which means there are 36 company canteens. Do you think it's okay?"
Lin said lightly: "If it's just arranging the food for the army canteen, that is, arranging the dishes and matching, then it's not a problem. Anyway, I'm just talking about it and I don't have to do it. But the problem is... If that's the case, then I don't have to go to the kitchen team of the third company, right?" If he doesn't come to both sides, he will definitely be too busy.
"Of course, if you join the logistics of the army, you will be organized, which is equivalent to a logistics soldier." Lu Cheng chuckled, "If a logistics soldier does well, he will also have a military position."
Lin Qingqing couldn't help laughing: "That's too nice, I dare not imagine this. But I am worried."
"Are you worried about three years later?" Lu Cheng asked with telepathy.
Lin Qingqing widened her eyes, then gave Lu Cheng a thumbs up: "You are worthy of being Deputy Commander Lu, you are amazing."
Lu Cheng curled the corners of his mouth, but finally did not show his happiness too obviously. He explained: "Even if Li leaves in three years, when it's her turn, she will definitely find a way to leave the logistics. I think she is more unwilling to take risks than anyone else, and she is more afraid of death than anyone else." It's not that she is afraid of death, but that everyone is afraid of death. Even Lu Cheng is afraid of death. However, compared to death, he will face it bravely. "Don't worry, if you want to do it, just do it boldly. I will take care of everything."
A warm current flowed through Lin Qingqing's heart. She looked at him with bright and moving eyes. Such eyes attracted Lu Cheng very much, because her eyes were clean and enthusiastic, as gentle as the sunshine in spring. Lu Cheng smiled at her, without too many words or actions.
"Then I go? Will it have any impact on you?" Lin Qingqing was still a little worried.
"No... there is an impact, probably... everyone will be jealous of me." Lu Cheng rarely joked.
Puff... Lin Qingqing laughed out loud.
Lu Haici looked at his father and then at his mother. He didn't understand. But it doesn't matter, as long as his parents are around, he will be happy playing in the mud by himself.
"What is the other thing?" Lin asked softly, "I can't guess? Could it be that because I perform well, I will be given a salary increase? But that's impossible. Since I'm in the logistics department, the salary increase should be integrated, so the other thing must be unrelated."
"Smart." Lu Cheng praised generously, "Guess again." Captain Lu probably never thought in his life that one day he would play word guessing games with others.
Lin shook his head softly: "No, I can't guess."
"You called me Deputy Captain Lu just now, but you made a mistake. From today on, I am Captain Lu." There was a hint of pride in his tone that only men have in front of women, in front of the women they like. Captain Lu, who was as steady as a dog, was very calm in front of the captain and the political commissar in the afternoon, as if the promotion had nothing to do with him. But when he turned around, what was the matter with his arrogant tone?
Lin Qingqing was stunned at first, and then slowly widened her eyes. She couldn't control her joy and excitement: "Lu Cheng..." She called out loudly.
Lu Cheng looked at her with a faint smile: "Hmm?"
"You are awesome." Lin Qingqing's eyes and mouth were full of smiles, and the smile was getting bigger and bigger, and she couldn't suppress it at all.
Lu Cheng's smile did not change: "Hmm." This "hmm" had a little more meaning than the previous "hmm".
