Chapter 72
Lin Qingqing has been very busy these days. She wants the troops to investigate the "barren hills and wastelands utilization plan" around them. First, she needs to investigate the ownership of these barren hills and wastelands. When she starts the investigation, she can't stay in the army. She first asked the production brigade around the army about the situation of these barren hills and wastelands, and then went to the county government to inquire. After confirming the ownership of the barren hills and wastelands, she started to write the plan.
While Lin Qingqing was busy, the Lin family of Gaoshanao Production Brigade was stunned by a piece of news.
"What did you say? Our Qingqing is going to be a female soldier?" Grandma Lin looked at the people who came to investigate, her eyes widened. "Why... why did Qingqing become a female soldier? Doesn't she work in the army cafeteria?" Isn't this too fast? It's only been a month.
The investigator smiled and said, "We don't know about this matter. We are only responsible for investigating your family's political background. Although we investigated it when Comrade Lin Qingqing and Commander Lu got married, we have to investigate again according to the procedure."
"Wait a minute...wait a minute, you go to our house, our old man is at home, and our family's political background must be good." Grandma Lin was still in the field at this time. When the investigators came into the village to ask them about the situation, Grandma Lin naturally knew about it. But now, everyone in the field knows about it. I believe that in less than half a day, everyone in the production brigade will know about it.
Grandma Lin took the investigators back home, leaving some people looking at each other in bewilderment.
"No way? Lin Qingqing is going to be a female soldier?"
"Although Doctor Lin is good, Lin Qingqing was very lazy before. How can such a lazy person be a female soldier?
" "Our Qingqing doesn't eat your food, what does her laziness have to do with you?" Lin's mother heard it and immediately retorted, "Besides, we only have one girl in our family, what's wrong with us loving her more?" The daughter is going to be a female soldier, and this image must not be destroyed.
"How is our Qingqing lazy?" Aunt Lin said, "Qingqing is just working at home, you just can't see it. "
That's right. Qingqing often helps my mother-in-law cook, light fires, and boil water. Does she have to work in front of you to be considered diligent?"
"No matter whether Qingqing is lazy or not, she has never done anything bad." "
That's right. Whenever we feel unwell, we often see her bringing medicine to Doctor Lin. "
Lin Qingqing's reputation in the brigade is not good, but it is not bad either. In short, she is a girl raised by the Lin family. In this era when girls are not rare, Lin Qingqing's raising is a strange thing in Gaoshanao Production Brigade. However, everyone can understand it. Who asked the Lin family to have such a girl in three generations, and they don't have a boy.
However, the Lin family is usually very good, especially Doctor Lin. He usually doesn't charge for the medicinal materials he brings up the mountain. Therefore, everyone is grateful to Doctor Lin.
In this regard, Grandpa Lin is smart.
The Lin family is rich, but it is not easy to take out the money openly. , so the Lin family really doesn't care about the money. A little bit of medicinal materials only costs a few cents, how could Grandpa Lin care? Wouldn't it be good to use the money to exchange for a good reputation? Moreover, as the only doctor in the brigade, Grandpa Lin gets the highest score every day, even if he doesn't go to work. Which old man is as good as him?
Grandpa Lin is cooking a soup at home to cool down. The weather in August is hot, and the farmers are still busy working. It will be troublesome if they get heatstroke by accident. So he prepared some soup to cool down. He boiled it in the morning and soaked it in the well water in the afternoon. The cool feeling is very refreshing.
"Old man... Old man..."
Grandpa Lin heard the voice of Grandma Lin, which sounded a little anxious. He was worried that something had happened to Grandma Lin, and hurried out of the kitchen: "Old lady, what's wrong?" Speaking of which, the old lady's personality has remained the same for decades, always impetuous. Thinking of her having this kind of personality when she was young, Grandpa Lin's eyebrows were stained with some smiles.
He has to thank his father-in-law for his fate with the old lady. At that time, he often took his father-in-law's rickshaw. Because they took it so many times, the two had a tacit understanding, and his father-in-law would often walk around at the door of his house. That night, a group of people broke into his house. They were here to look for someone, but because they didn't find anyone, they wanted to kill him. His father-in-law has been pulling rickshaws for many years, so he is very strong and has some skills. That day, his father-in-law saw movement in his house, He came in to see, and then saved him.
In fact, the other party was looking for a □□ fighter, who was injured with a very important intelligence. He did save the other party, but also hid the other party very well.
The father-in-law saved him and was also injured. Indirectly, he and the old woman got to know each other. He fell in love with this young, beautiful and independent girl over time. Because this girl is different from the girls he usually sees.
When Grandpa Lin saw Grandma Lin coming in with two strange male comrades, and then saw that she looked energetic, he guessed that nothing happened. However, who are these two male comrades?
"Old man, this is what happened. Our Qingqing is going to be a female soldier. These are the comrades who came to investigate Qingqing's political background. "Grandma Lin said. When her granddaughter married Lu Cheng, there was a political review, but no investigator came to investigate, and no one knew how the relevant personnel conducted the political review.
Grandpa Lin was also very surprised when he heard this. His granddaughter, who couldn't even carry a bucket of water, actually became a female soldier? However, the investigators came with supporting documents, so Grandpa Lin naturally believed them. "Our family does have a clean political background. In fact, our family also has a personal inscription from a great leader. "Grandpa Lin suppressed his excitement, led the investigators into the main hall, then went to the room and took out the treasures he had treasured for decades," Look, this is the inscription given to our Lin family by the great leader, and this is a letter of thanks from a certain leader to our Lin family. "
When the country was at war, Grandpa Lin and his father donated a lot of medicinal herbs to the country's secret archives. Even the leader of the Communist Party of China, whom he secretly rescued, wrote a letter of thanks to the Lin family afterwards. Therefore, the Lin family's political background is very clean and can be regarded as heroes.
Three generations ago, Grandpa Lin had donated medicinal herbs to the country. The second-generation Grandpa Lin also donated medicinal herbs to the country. The third-generation Lin's father was an honest farmer with a very clean background.
As for Grandma Lin's family, it was even more innocent. Grandma Lin's father was a rickshaw driver. Although he was not very good at the country, he was not very good at the country. Although she made no contribution, she saved Grandpa Lin that day, which was equivalent to indirectly helping that comrade.
The investigator did not expect that Grandpa Lin could take out such a treasure from the bottom of the box, and it was well preserved. No matter how good the time is, it is a calligraphy given to the great leader before the founding of the new country. There is also his seal and time here.
In fact, even Lin Qingqing didn't know that the Lin family had these things.
The investigator walked out of the Lin family with a look of shock and a trance. In the Lin family, Grandma Lin and Grandpa Lin were also discussing: "Old man, how did Qingqing become a female soldier? What is going on? If you say that Qingqing was selected, I don't believe it. Outsiders know that Qingqing was spoiled by us. It's a bit lazy to say that she would definitely not be selected with her physique. "
Grandpa Lin said, "I don't know either. I'll go to town and call my grandson-in-law to ask. Didn't he leave his office phone number?"
Grandma Lin said, "Yes, yes, yes, go make a phone call."
Grandpa Lin carefully put away the calligraphy and said, "If Qingqing really becomes a female soldier, pass these things on to her."
"Ah?" Grandma Lin was stunned. The old man guarded these things as if they were his lifeblood. To the old man, this is his life, while the old mountain ginseng is just a thing outside his body. In
fact, Grandma Lin understood why Grandpa Lin did not value the old mountain ginseng, because he was a doctor. In the doctor's mind, no matter how precious the old mountain ginseng is, it is just medicine, and medicine is truly worth the money when it is used on patients. So even if it weren't for Lin Qingqing's reason, Grandpa Lin was willing to sell the old mountain ginseng to Lu Cheng.
Grandpa Lin said, "Only when you become a female soldier can you understand its meaning. Others are just farmers, but in their eyes, this may not even be worth a meal."
Grandma Lin was amused by his words.
So, Grandpa Lin took care of the fire on the stove and went to the town with Grandma Lin.
...
Dinglingling...
"Hello, I'm Lu Cheng." Lu Cheng's phone didn't ring often. Generally, the guards would call because the guards would not leave their posts. Otherwise, the leaders above would call him when they had something to do. If it was a military officer below, they would come to his office in person.
"Lu Cheng... Is that Lu Cheng's voice?"
Lu Cheng heard a familiar voice coming from the other side. With his ability to distinguish voices, he immediately knew that the person who made the voice was Grandma Lin. So Lu Cheng asked: "Is it Grandma?"
"It's really Lu Cheng." Then a male voice came, "Lu Cheng, I'm Qingqing's grandpa, her grandma is next to her." Grandpa Lin handed the phone to Grandma Lin.
Grandma Lin quickly answered the phone: "Lu Cheng, grandson-in-law, this is grandma, how is Qingqing? We received the things you sent last time, have we received the things we sent to you?"
"Hello, Grandma, we have received the things. We have eaten the dried goods you sent several times. Qingqing likes them very much, and her cooking is also very delicious." Lu Cheng said.
Grandma Lin laughed, very happy: "This girl likes to eat these things, but she never cooks at home. I didn't expect that she would cook after joining the army. Did anything go wrong in the kitchen?"
"No, she is a good cook. You are the chef at home, so she doesn't cook. But probably because she has seen you cook so many times, she refers to the ingredients you use for cooking, and then thinks about it herself, and she cooks quite delicious. I guess she is talented, just like you." Grandma Lin is willing to use a lot of ingredients when cooking. Because the Lin family was well-off when she was young, Grandma Lin was willing to use a lot of ingredients at that time. Although the conditions and situations are different now, she is not as willing to use ingredients as before, but for her who has eaten good food before, she still knows how to use the ingredients to make it delicious.
"She has this talent?" Grandma Lin couldn't help but be proud. "But when I was cooking, she liked to stand by the stove and watch. I didn't expect that she learned my cooking skills." She always thought that her granddaughter liked to stand by the stove when she was cooking because she wanted to eat, and she often stuffed food into her granddaughter's mouth. Now it seems that her granddaughter really wants to eat, but it is also true that she has learned her cooking skills. It's a pity that she didn't drive her granddaughter out of the kitchen all these years. Originally, she wanted to secretly open a small stove for her granddaughter. Now that her granddaughter has made a difference, who dares to say that they spoiled her granddaughter into a lazy girl.
Lu Cheng smiled over there. In fact, it was right for her to tell him her origins. At least he could keep his lie to the Lin family. "So I am lucky to have such a good meal."
"You kid... Lu Cheng, your grandpa has something to ask you. I'll give your grandpa the phone number." Seeing the old man urging her, Grandma Lin just gave him the phone. As
soon as Grandpa Lin answered the phone, he spoke: "Lu Cheng, this is Grandpa. We called you this time mainly to ask about Qingqing's service as a female soldier. An investigator came to our house today to investigate the situation. What's going on?"
In fact, Lu Cheng also expected that with the personalities of Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin, if the army sent people to the Lin family for a political investigation, they would definitely call him. "This is what happened. You don't have to worry..." He told him about Lin Qingqing's situation.
Grandpa Lin really didn't expect such a thing to happen: "This child has always loved to eat, and now she has turned eating into a job." He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn't help but sigh that after getting married, his granddaughter has become sensible and grown up.
Grandpa Lin chatted with Lu Cheng for a while and then hung up the phone. Although they could afford the phone bill, there were people waiting to make a call, and Lu Cheng was a military officer, so he must be very busy, so Grandpa Lin was embarrassed to continue the call.
Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin came out of the post office, and they both breathed a sigh of relief. It was true that their granddaughter was a female soldier. According to Lu Cheng, the granddaughter had already reported for the job, but she was still walking at the end of the process.
"I didn't expect that someone in our family would serve in the army." Grandma Lin pulled Grandpa Lin and said, "Do you think that our family is a military family now?"
Grandpa Lin hadn't thought of this yet: "You think quickly."
Grandma Lin said, "Of course."
When they returned to the brigade, it was already noon, and everyone was getting off work. So when the villagers saw Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin, they couldn't help asking, "Doctor Lin, has your Qingqing really become a female soldier?"
"Doctor Lin, how did your Qingqing become a female soldier? Is the army still recruiting female soldiers?"
"Doctor Lin..."
"Fellow villagers, this matter has not been confirmed yet." Grandpa Lin said, "Now it's just an investigation, and the specific situation depends on the results of the investigation. So, when the results of the investigation come out, Qingqing will write to tell us, and I will tell the villagers." Grandma Lin looked at
his serious nonsense and laughed in her heart. The grandson-in-law clearly said that this matter has been decided, and their family's political review is definitely no problem, but the old man still wants to lie.
But this is also right. After all, the granddaughter went to report first, and the process is still going on, so let's wait until the process is finished. Even when facing their family, the old couple said the same thing. There are many people at home, so they don't let it slip.
Troops
Lin Qingqing knew about the call from the two elders at noon. She was very moved by this and became more determined to do this job well.
After being moved, Lin Qingqing worked harder.
Lin Qingqing not only had to investigate and write a plan, but also had job work. She didn't need to be responsible for the food in the cafeteria this month. She would be responsible from next month, but the food arrangements for next month had to be arranged.
Lin Qingqing didn't know the price of each dish, so she arranged a one-month recipe for each cooking class. As an old food anchor, she was quite clear about the portion of each bowl of food. Although there were 45 cooking classes, it was actually no different from one cooking class, because the food for each cooking class was the same.
Therefore, she just arranged a recipe for a kitchen team for a month. After she arranged it, she calculated the amount of each dish needed for a month, and then added some extra, and then handed it to Wang Lele. Wang Lele was responsible for calculating the price.
If the price exceeded the funds given by the Finance Department, then Wang Lele would send the recipe back. If it did not exceed or there was extra, then Lin Qingqing could add some other food. For example... the mung bean soup and soy milk that comrades from other companies wanted.
For Wang Lele, this job was much easier than before. Because before, each kitchen team would hand in a month's worth of food, and because each kitchen team purchased their own food, their food was different, so Wang Lele needed to calculate the expenses of each kitchen team one by one, that is, she had to calculate the expenses of 45 kitchen teams. But now, it is enough to calculate just one.
If Lin Qingqing said this, it would mean that Wang Lele was not smart enough. As the person in charge of the canteen in the logistics department, she could force the kitchen teams to have uniform food to facilitate her work. After all, she had been with Qi Shao and the others, and she knew very well that monthly purchases were a headache for Qi Shao and the others. If someone could arrange the purchase of supplies for them, they would be very happy.
This is probably the reason why men don't like to manage kitchen affairs.
"Here, this is the recipe for the kitchen team in September. Below is the total cost of each material." Lin handed the list to Wang Lele.
Wang Lele took a look and said, "Only one copy? Only the materials for one kitchen team?"
Lin pointed to the last page and said, "Multiply one copy by 45, because the recipes for each kitchen team are the same, so just multiply by 45 after the materials are settled."
Wang Lele's eyes lit up and said, "Is it possible? Then I just need to calculate the cost of one copy of materials, and then multiply by 45. Oh my God, Comrade Lin, why didn't you come earlier? I used to have to calculate 45 copies every month, and it was so troublesome."
Lin smiled.
Hong Jun was listening to their conversation and nodded with satisfaction. Comrade Lin was smart.
"Oh, there are lots of eggs, shrimps, pork intestines, and pork bones here. Why don't you add pork?" Wang Lele asked.
Lin said lightly: "Pork intestines are cheap and can supplement the nutrients of pork. Pork bones can be used to make soup. For comrades who train all year round, bone soup can supplement calcium, which is very useful for their bodies.
Look at the vegetables here. I tend to order vegetables that are good for them, such as spinach, etc. Moreover, if you save money on pork, you can buy more eggs. A pound of eggs is much more delicious than a pound of meat.
Of course, pork has to be bought occasionally, but there is no rush. You can arrange it next time."
Wang Lele smiled and said, "You understand these things, you can arrange it, but I don't understand. This is called... every profession has its own specialty."
Hong Jun shook his head after hearing this. If you don't understand, you can learn. But this comrade has no ambition.
Lin Qingqing said, "That's right. I don't know as much about the price as you do."
Wang Lele said, "I didn't know it before, but I remembered it after doing it more. The price changes all year round. By the way, apples are on the market. I'm going to buy apples this week. Do you want to go?" Wang Lele has been in this position for a long time. Sometimes the kitchen team reports that she needs to investigate and contact materials, so she also knows a lot of people in this field, and naturally knows where to buy good things.
"Yes, it's rare to buy apples in our place. Generally, when apples come, they are snatched up by people near the supply and marketing cooperative. How can we get a turn?" Lin Qingqing also wants to eat apples, mainly because there are too few snacks to eat in this era. Eating ice cream can no longer satisfy her happiness.
"Then it's a deal. I'll come to see you on the weekend." Those who work in the office all have weekends off.
"Okay." Lin Qingqing thought, should I ask Hong Jun? Logically, she should ask, but Wang Lele brought up this matter, and Wang Lele didn't ask. If she asked, wouldn't it make people think that Wang Lele was impolite?
Lin Qingqing thought about it, wrote a note on the seat and handed it to Wang Lele: "Director Wang, can you help me check, is the quantity of this dish okay?"
Wang Lele took the paper and looked at it. It said: Director Hong also heard us talking about buying apples in the office. Should I ask her?
Wang Lele was not ignorant of the ways of the world. She wrote as she said, "That's fine. Just this number." On the paper was written: I asked Director Hong before, and she said she didn't like apples. I called her a few times and then stopped. And she is a leader. It's not good to call her too much. It will make people gossip.
Seeing Wang Lele's answer, Lin Qingqing didn't continue the topic.
Lin Qingqing made the recipe arrangement for September today, and summarized the last point of the wasteland utilization plan. After writing it, she got up and went to find Hong Jun.
