Chapter 720 Veteran Wu Qiang(1/2)
This courtyard house was fully renovated by Wu Shuheng four or five years ago, and its functional facilities are very complete. Such central air conditioners, floor heating systems, etc. are still very advanced today and will not be outdated at all.
So Xia Rufei only put forward some suggestions for some details according to his own preferences.
For example, when you enter the third yard, open a door and convert two idle wing rooms into garages, so that you can enter and exit the road behind when driving without having to walk through the relatively crowded Liuhai Hutong.
Also, Xia Rufei comes from Southeast Province and prefers osmanthus trees, especially when the osmanthus flowers bloom in autumn, the fragrance of osmanthus flowers in the yard is refreshing, so he plans to plant a few osmanthus trees in all three yards.
As for whether he can survive in the cold north, it is not within Xia Rufei's consideration. As long as he is willing to give up the solution of Lingxinhua petals, where can he not grow it?
Now Xia Rufei has accumulated a lot of petals of spiritual heart flower. In addition to regularly injecting some water towers into the farm and the water tower in the anchovies farming workshop, not much needs to be used in other places, so the reserves have been steadily increasing.
There are some other minor changes, but I feel that some places are damaged more severely, so I need to find similar old wood to replace it.
Xia Rufei, the huge wine cellar in the basement, doesn't want to change it for the time being, because he didn't think about what to change it into. The Siheyuan has already complete functions, so he just kept it still.
The modifications proposed by Xia Rufei were not too difficult. After Zhao Yongjun wrote them down, he smiled and said, "No problem, my friend can definitely complete them. He has done a lot of work that is much more complicated than this!"
Xia Ruofei grinned and said, "Brother Zhao, I will leave all the transformation here to you! I definitely can't wait in the capital all the time, so please help me watch it!"
"Okay! Just keep your heart in your stomach!" Zhao Yongjun said.
The two of them walked around the courtyard. After Xia Rufei finished reading it, she confirmed that there was nothing to change for the time being.
The two sat in the yard chatting for a while, and then prepared to close the door and leave.
Originally, Xia Ruofei was preparing to cook a meal in the Siheyuan to treat Zhao Yongjun to a meal, but then he thought that all the super ingredients were stored in the spiritual map space, and he could not use it, otherwise it would be impossible to explain it at all.
As for buying ordinary ingredients outside and making them, Xia Ruofei was no longer interested.
Just as the two were about to leave, Song Rui called.
"Ruofei, are you in Siheyuan?" Song Rui asked whirringly as soon as the phone was connected.
"Here!"
"Open the door and open the door!" Song Rui shouted, "I'm at the door!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
While putting away his phone, Xia Ruofei smiled and said to Zhao Yongjun: "That boy Song Rui ran over, and he didn't know what happened..."
"Let's go, take a look!" Zhao Yongjun said.
The two walked through the hanging flower gate and came to the first entry into the yard. As soon as Xia Rufei opened the door, he saw Song Rui standing at the door. There was a square-faced man in his thirties standing beside him. He was very strong and had a faint sense of imposing momentum when he stood there.
"Why are you so slow!" Song Rui complained.
"You kid came to me in a hurry. What's going on?" Xia Ruofei glanced at the strong man beside Song Rui and asked with a smile.
"Aren't you going to find someone to help you take care of the yard?" Song Rui pointed to the strong man beside him and said, "I helped you do this early in the morning. Look, I've brought you the person!"
At this time, Zhao Yongjun behind Xia Rufei noticed the people around Song Rui. He was stunned for a moment before saying in surprise: "Wu Qiang?"
The strong man beside Song Rui also raised his head and looked at Zhao Yongjun for several seconds before shouting in surprise: "Platform Commander! Why are you here too?"
Zhao Yongjun said excitedly: "I want to ask you! Why are you in the capital? You were also found by Song Rui?"
"I've been in the capital for many years!"
"Then why don't you come to me?" Zhao Yongjun said with some dissatisfaction, "Don't treat me as a brother, right?"
Xia Rufei and Song Rui were both confused.
Didn’t Song Rui introduce a guardian to Xia Rufei today? Why did it become a meeting between Zhao Yongjun and Wu Qiang to recognize relatives?
"Stop!" Song Rui shouted, "Brother Zhao, do you know Wu Qiang?"
"More than just knowing each other?" Zhao Yongjun laughed, "He is the soldier I have led!"
Xia Rufei also felt that it was a bit magical. Is the world really that small?
He stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't stand at the door, if you have anything to say when you enter the house!"
"Yes, yes, go into the house and say!" Zhao Yongjun also said hurriedly.
He was also a little excited when he met the soldier he had led here.
The group came to the second entrance to the yard. The early autumn weather in the capital was not too cold, and the afternoon sun was warm, so everyone sat down at the stone table in the yard.
Xia Rufei went into the house and made a pot of tea.
The one I use is naturally the best Dahongpao in the space. Tea leaves do not occupy much space and can be put down in my carry-on bag, so it will not cause any suspicion.
Originally, Dahongpao wanted to make Kung Fu tea, but not many people in the north drink Kung Fu tea. There were no decent tea sets in Wu Shuheng's house, so he could only make a pot with a large teapot.
This will have a worse taste, but the tea leaves are good enough, and the tea fragrance will be everywhere when brewed.
Xia Ruofei poured everyone a cup of tea, and then said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, let's talk about your relationship with this Wu Qiang brother first!"
After taking a sip of tea, Zhao Yongjun smiled and said, "This kid is the first batch of recruits I brought when I was a platoon leader..."
Following Zhao Yongjun's story, Xia Rufei and Song Rui realized that after Zhao Yongjun was thrown into the army by General Zhao Cheng, they were successfully promoted in the third year. After half a year of training in the college, they were awarded the rank of second lieutenant.
His first job as a recruit platoon leader was to train the recruits who had just been recruited that year.
Wu Qiang is one of this group of new recruits. Because of his good military quality, he is highly valued by Zhao Yongjun. After the training of the recruits, the new recruits will be assigned to various companies. Zhao Yongjun also specially brought him to his company.
Wu Qiang did not disappoint Zhao Yongjun's valuation, and his performance was excellent in all aspects. He became the deputy squad leader the next year and later became a non-commissioned officer.
However, Zhao Yongjun had no intention of working in the army, so he applied to transfer and left the army when he was in the company.
At that time, Wu Qiang was still serving in the army. He had become the backbone of his company. He had been a squad leader for several years and was also an acting platoon leader when the platoon leader was vacant.
After Zhao Yongjun transferred to a public institution, he arranged for him to go to work. However, he was also a restless person. He resigned and went into business not long after he worked, and started to make antiques. At that time, General Zhao Cheng was very angry.
After Zhao Yongjun went to the local area for a few years, he lost contact with some of his comrades in the army. He just heard that Wu Qiang retired after the second-level non-commissioned officer period expired. Unexpectedly, Wu Qiang also came to the capital and the troops they served were in northern Hebei Province.
After Zhao Yongjun finished speaking, he looked at Wu Qiang and said, "You kid has been in the capital for several years and haven't contacted the old platoon leader for a while. Didn't you treat me as a brother?"
Wu Qiang hurriedly said, "Plane Commander, I don't know you are in the capital too! Besides... the contact information of that year was invalid. The capital was so big, I can't find it even if I wanted to find it!"
Wu Qiang is telling the truth. Zhao Yongjun changed his number several times in recent years, and his comrades who had not seen each other for many years had basically lost contact.
If Zhao Yongjun wanted to find Wu Qiang in the capital, it would definitely not be difficult at all. However, Wu Qiang was just an ordinary family and had no connections in the capital. Even if he wanted to find Zhao Yongjun, he would not be able to find it.
Zhao Yongjun couldn't help but speak in a daze and said, "You're right."
Then Zhao Yongjun looked at Song Rui again and asked, "Xiao Rui, how did you know Wu Qiang? He even introduced him to help Ruofei's work."
Song Rui smiled and said, "Of course it was introduced by someone else! Ruofei said that he wanted to find a reliable one, preferably a veteran, so I found Guo Ruchao. He knew more soldiers! This introduced Wu Qiang, but Wu Qiang happened to be in the capital, so I took him over."
Zhao Yongjun said in surprise: "Guo Ruchao? Wu Qiang, how did you know Guo Ruchao?"
Guo Ruchao is also one of their playboy circle, but he is older than Song Rui and the others, and his father's position is not as prominent as Zhao Cheng.
However, Guo Ruchao has been developing in the army and is now the deputy chief of staff of a division stationed in Beijing. At the age of 35 or 36, he has achieved a very good development.
Wu Qiang said honestly: "He is my former chief of staff."
It turned out that after Zhao Yongjun transferred to the army, Wu Qiang performed well in an army competition and was transferred to the main battle group where Guo Ruchao served as the chief of staff as the reconnaissance squad leader. Guo Ruchao also valued Wu Qiang, who had excellent military qualities, and Wu Qiang repeatedly tried to retain him when he retired from the army, and even went to the top to ask for a third-level non-commissioned officer.
However, the reason why Wu Qiang chose to retire was not only the tight indicators of senior non-commissioned officers, but more importantly, the elderly in his family were treated, and the expenses for younger brothers and sisters were too high to go to school, and the salary of non-commissioned officers was not enough, so they could earn more money if they wanted to leave the army and work in the local area.
Guo Ruchao was very sorry when he learned the reason, but he still approved Wu Qiang to leave the army.
Not only that, Guo Ruchao also used his connections in Beijing to help Wu Qiang find a job.
Because Wu Qiang has a rural household registration, he did not arrange work treatment after he was discharged from the army. Originally, Guo Ruchao wanted to help him arrange a job as a white-collar worker in the office, but Wu Qiang said that he had a low education and refused, so he finally chose a job as a security captain, which is a professional match.
In recent years, Wu Qiang was in the capital, and Guo Ruchao has always taken good care of him. This time, Guo Ruchao heard that Song Rui was going to find a private hospital for his friend, so he immediately recommended Wu Qiang over.
After hearing Wu Qiang's reason, Zhao Yongjun couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect Guo Ruchao is quite righteous!"
Then he said with some guilt, "Wuqiang, I don't know that you are in the capital in the past few years, but Guo Ruchao takes good care of you..."
Wu Qiang hurriedly said, "Old platoon leader, I didn't take the initiative to contact you..."
Zhao Yongjun waved his hand and said, "We're in touch today. If you have any difficulties in the future, you must tell me. If you can help, I will definitely help you!"
Zhao Yongjun has a generous personality and is also a very nostalgic person. Although he doesn't like the life of the army, he still couldn't help but think of his military time after seeing Wu Qiang.
"I understand, old platoon leader!" Wu Qiang said with emotion.
Then Zhao Yongjun said to Xia Ruofei: "Ruofei, Wu Qiang is the soldier I brought out. His character is absolutely reliable. Moreover, his military quality is very good. He is definitely qualified for this job..."
Xia Ruofei naturally understood what Zhao Yongjun meant. He smiled and said, "Of course I can trust Brother Zhao's soldiers!"
Then he smiled gently at Wu Qiang and asked, "Brother Wu..."
Wu Qiang hurriedly said, "Boss, I don't dare to be a fool. Just call me Wu Qiang..."
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded and asked, "Wu Qiang, how are you treated as a security captain?"
Wu Qiang said honestly: "Monthly salary is about 6,000 yuan, there are five insurances and one fund, the company includes accommodation and a lunch, but they live in a collective dormitory."
Xia Rufei nodded and said, "If you come to help me, the work will be relatively simple. You are mainly responsible for the safety and daily maintenance of this house. You can hire a hourly worker if you clean and clean. Oh, by the way, I still need to serve as my driver while I was in Beijing. You should be competent, right?"
When Wu Qiang heard this, the job was so easy!
To put it bluntly, I live here, inspect every day, and don’t have to clean the sanitation by myself. Being a driver is not a hard job, not to mention that he will not be in the capital for a long time as Xia Rufei means.
I don’t have to do anything every day, and I have such a good house to live in, where can I find such an easy job?
Wu Qiang immediately nodded and said loudly: "Yes!"
