Chapter 253 Proofreading
Xia Mingyue blinked, "Since we are like children, shouldn't it be interesting?"
Jiang Zhuguo was stunned when he asked this question.
It is indeed interesting when adults sometimes behave like children, but if a strong man like Wu Xiong behaves like a child...
That's all, I don't dare to think about it!
Jiang Zhuguo's expression was complicated, while Xia Mingyue reached out and patted her shoulder, smiling secretly.
This made Jiang Zhuguo even more confused.
Why do you think Sister Xia looks weird today?
The next day, after Xia Mingyue told Lou Shanzi and the others what they needed to practice today, they went to find Shopkeeper Ge.
Shopkeeper Ge gathered all the people he found suitable during this period and stood in the backyard, introducing each person's situation one by one.
There are more than ten people, either they have done similar jobs in restaurants or restaurants in the past, or they are women who are hard-working and often busy at the stove. They come from poor families but have good character.
Xia Mingyue and Shopkeeper Ge carefully selected them and settled on seven people for the time being.
In the afternoon, the two went to see the current construction status of the restaurant.
House construction at this time was mostly made of masonry and wood. It was not as complicated as modern houses, and there were no so-called embedded pipe lines. After the foundation was laid, the main body was constructed quite quickly.
The first floor of the restaurant has been built, and the height growing every day is visible to the naked eye.
However, the main body is fast, and the exterior decoration and interior layout require more effort. If the entire restaurant wants to officially open for business, it will have to wait until mid-to-late March.
During this period, the purchase of necessary items must also be carried out simultaneously.
It can be said that there are still many things to be busy with next.
At this time, Lu Qiyan didn't have any time to spare.
It took several months to build the bridge. The daily physical work finally delayed some of the daily training, so I returned to the military camp. After a brief tidying up, I followed the battalion commander’s instructions. Make up for missed training as much as possible.
While the soldiers below were busy training on the school grounds, Lu Qiyan was called to the battalion commander's tent.
The battalion commander’s surname is Shen Mingshi. He is a tall man with a righteous character. He has been in the army for many years and has experienced many wars. He also has many injuries on his body. There is a long scar on his arm from the elbow to the back of the hand, like a centipede. Generally speaking, it is shocking to see.
In the last battle at Cheung Chau Mansion, Shen Shi also suffered a leg injury and had just recovered.
“The construction of the Yongfeng River bridge was done well this time. Not only did we not spend the money allocated by the court, we actually brought back more.”
Shen Shi Lang laughed loudly and said, "I have reported this matter to the military commander. The military commander was very happy. He only said that you are smart and know how to do things. I want to ask for credit from you and ask for some rewards."
"These are all things that are part of a humble position. I dare not ask for reward." Lu Qiyan cupped his hands and said.
"You still have to get the reward you deserve. Don't refuse." Shen Shi reached out and patted Lu Qiyan's shoulder, saying sincerely, "There will be a review in the army in two days. What does Commander Xiang mean? Yes, ordinary proofreading is just a formality, which is really meaningless. This year we need to do something serious.”
“So. , in this review, in addition to the ordinary training demonstrations of the soldiers, all the above are required to compete in martial arts and troop formations. The best ones will be promoted in order to make the best use of their talents."
"You. Prepare well, perform well when the time comes, and with the credit for building the bridge this time, try to take my position!”
Sit in Shen Shi’s position?
"What the commander means is..." Lu Qiyan's face darkened, "Is it possible that this leg injury is not completely healed?" "It's not completely healed." Shen Shi waved his hand and smiled, "The leg bones are completely broken, so I can still walk. That's right, the military doctor said it can't be done in the future. Heavy work, don't be tired, my legs will hurt even if it's cloudy or rainy. I've already told the military commander that I intend to resign."
"It's just that the military commander remembers my many years in the military. In the middle, he also asked for favors from the commander of the carriage. Dian, allow me to stay in the army for another year, and I can get some more military pay to support my family.”
“The commanders are all well-intentioned, but I can’t do anything now. Bai Zhan also had some misgivings in this position. An, it’s better to give up as soon as possible.”
“I’m still staying here because I want to wait for the right person to come before I give up my seat, otherwise there will be a lot of people staring at the vacant seat. Something is going to happen again.”
Although there are not as many intrigues and intrigues in the military as there are in the officialdom, they are all people who have been through life and death, and they all want to climb up and make their lives more valuable.
I can understand it, but I cannot condone it.
"I understand." Lu Qiyan handed over his hand again, "I will live up to the commander's hope."
Seeing that he spoke freely and without any pretense or formality, Chen Shen Shi Yue felt more and more that he had seen the right person. He reached out and patted Lu Qiyan on the shoulder again, "Go ahead."
Be prepared.
"Yes." Lu Qiyan cupped his hands and left the camp.
As soon as he came out, he saw Chen Sanyang coming this way.
"Lu Dutou?" Chen Sanyang narrowed his eyes, "Did you just come out of Commander Shen's camp as a courtesy? It's strange that Commander Shen prefers Lu Dutou. It seems there is a reason."
“Everyone likes people who do things steadily and effectively.”
Lu Qiyan curled his lips slightly and spoke slowly, “On the contrary, it is those who like to cause trouble behind their backs and mess around. He is so talkative that he even thinks of sending a few people to do some damage. I am afraid he will be annoying no matter where he goes.”
Chen Sanyang's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, "What do Lu Dutou mean by this? Are you saying that I sent people to Liujiazhuang?"
"I just said that someone wanted to cause sabotage, but I didn't mention it. Passing Liujiazhuang, I was ordered to go to the Yongfeng River between Xiaohezhuang and Dahezhuang to build a bridge. How does Chen Dutou know about Liujiazhuang? "
Lu Qiyan had a sneer on his face, and his words were sharp and his eyes were bright when he asked.
This made Chen Sanyang suddenly startled, and he was even more frightened. He hurriedly explained, "I heard someone say that someone went to Liujiazhuang to kill the bridge builders."
" Really?" Lu Qiyan curled his lips.
"Of course!" Chen Sanyang looked away guiltily, "Believe it or not!"
Lu Qiyan still sneered and shook his head. Instead of talking to Chen Sanyang, he walked away.
Chen Sanyang was stunned for a long time, and after a long time he spat in Lu Qiyan's direction, "What is that!"
This naturally fell on Lu Qiyan's ears, who had not gone far. middle.
It also fell into the ears of several soldiers who were looking for Lu Qiyan.
"This grandson!" the soldier was so angry, "He is doing dirty things behind the scenes, without even caring about human life. He is really not a thing." Beat him, beat him into a pig's head!" Another soldier also cursed.
Jiao (jiao, four tones) parade is similar to the military parade in ancient times. Some dynasties held it in autumn, some in spring and autumn, and some once every three years. There is no fixed number.
