Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 20 The warmth from mother

"Okay, yes, you can see the symptoms of our factory at a glance." Secretary Xu praised, but then he sighed and said: "I and you, Uncle Chen, Uncle Zhang and Uncle Ma are saving us again. Factory, you know everything and I won’t hide it from you. Due to the wrong decision-making of the previous leadership, our factory has hoarded a lot of products. What’s worse is that it owes a huge amount of foreign debt, including government and military. , as well as goods supplied to brother units, the total amount may reach more than 500 million."

"So many!" Jiang Chen was surprised.

Yes, Secretary Xu sighed: "Now our factory is maintained by the list of 107 shells assigned by the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, but you also know that there are many factories like ours in the country, and they cannot all take care of us. I have also gone through a lot of hard work, which is why we asked you to come, but it is a pity that you are the only one here."

"Secretary Xu, I will definitely integrate into the collective as soon as possible, and I will add bricks and tiles to our factory." Jiang Chen promised earnestly.

Secretary Xu looked at Jiang Chen with relief and said with a smile: "Okay, sure enough, none of us saw you wrong. We all saw the camouflage suit you made. It's very good. It's a pity that our factory doesn't have the production conditions. ah."

"This is just something I messed around with, you're flattering yourself." Jiang Chen said embarrassingly.

Secretary Xu waved his hand and said: "Excessive modesty is also a kind of pride, you have to pay attention in the future, and I have already greeted you, Ke Laoyang, you should get into work as soon as possible and propose a new product design plan as soon as possible, you Look at that certain factory, because of the production of Bayi-style rifles, Xianyu turned around."

"Uncle Xu, why don't we strive for the production quota of the Bayi-style rifle?" Jiang Chen asked suspiciously.

Secretary Xu waved his hands again and again and said: "It's no use, do you think us old guys ran away for nothing? They don't let go at all, and so many arsenals across the country are staring at this piece of fat. We don't have a shadow at all, okay Don't talk about it, you should go to bed early and go to work on time tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he was ready to leave.

Jiang Chen thought about Lei Jun's order and quickly called Secretary Xu: "Uncle Xu, wait, I have one more thing to ask you."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Secretary Xu stopped and asked.

Jiang Chen said shyly, "Well, my brother-in-law is about to go to the next round of battles in the south. It's the one who came today. My mother and grandparents are coming back to see him off, so I want to ask for two days off."

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal. It's okay, you can go back and send your relatives to the battlefield. It's only human, so go!" Secretary Xu laughed.

"Okay, I will go and come back quickly, thank you Uncle Xu." Jiang Chen smiled.

Secretary Xu waved his hands and left with a smile.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, no, it should be very hot, Jiang Chen rode Ma Jun’s broken spank back to his aunt’s house, because Jiang Chen was a little apprehensive to see his mother in this life, dragged by his aunt Next, Jiang Chen followed the two girls, dressed up and drove to the train station. His mother went directly to the oasis from the Jiuchi launch base, and accompanied his grandparents to Anxi from the oasis headquarters.

When Jiang Chen and the others arrived at the train station, Lei Jun and the local military reception staff had already arrived. Seeing the train slowly approaching the station, Jiang Chen became restless. He didn't know how to face his mother, grandparents.

When the train arrived at the station, two soldiers first got off the carriage, stood at the door of the carriage, and then got down a woman in her 40s. Jiang Chen recognized at a glance that this woman was his mother, Lei Dan, because this kind of mother and child One look is enough, looking at that smiling face, Jiang Chen felt like crying.

After Jiang Chen's mother came down first, she didn't want to go to Jiang Chen and the others, but turned around and helped an old lady with gray hair get off the train. The old lady shouted after getting off the train: "Jun'er! Jun'er is there!" Where, where is Chen'er? Where are my two precious granddaughters?"

"Grandma! Grandma!" The two clever girls rushed up, but Lei Jun walked over with jealousy. Jiang Chen hesitated, and his aunt patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder and smiled, "Your grandma is calling you."

It was only then that Jiang Chen came to his senses and walked slowly, thinking that the kind old lady in his memory was walking past. At this moment, an old man with the same gray hair but a dignified face came down. The staff member came down at a leisurely pace. Looking at the martial law-enforced station and the passengers waiting to get off the train, he frowned and said, "I've said it many times, don't be special, you just don't listen, I Lei Zhan came from the famous crowd, what's the matter with returning to the famous crowd now, that's all right, leave quickly, don't delay everyone getting out of the car."

Two men in their fifties who came to pick up the car saluted, "Yes, please get on the car."

Lei Zhan, who is Jiang Chen's grandfather, looked around and everyone said to Lei Jun, "You are going south soon. I will use my privileges. You can accompany your mother." He smiled at Jiang Chen and walked to the army. Fang said in the special car prepared for him: "Go back first, I'll be over in a while." After speaking, he motioned to look at the car.

Watching the convoy leave, Jiang Chen and the others also drove to his aunt's house, because his house hadn't been cleaned up for a long time, and everyone needed to get together.

In the group, grandma and Aunt Lei Jun shared a car, and Jiang Chen shared a car with his mother's little girl. This is also human nature, but Jiang Chen is miserable here. It doesn't matter if Jiang Chen and the others get in the car, Lei Dan is also Jiang Chen and him. The mother directly twisted Jiang Chen's ears and said, "Okay, brat, after a year of not seeing you, you've grown up, and you've sacrificed yourself to save others, do you know that you almost..." Lei Dan never uttered that word. It is not so much a superstition as a taboo. Only his mother is always sincere to her children.

"It hurts, it hurts, ouch." Jiang Chen struggled, "Mom, Mom, take it easy, ouch, let go."

"Stinky boy, now you know you're wrong?" Lei Dan carefully looked at Jiang Chen, holding Jiang Xin in his arms, gently stroking the girl's head, and the little girl was sleeping in her mother's arms very strangely. fragrant!
Jiang Chen flattered him, "I know I was wrong, I get it."

"Well, I haven't seen you for a year. I've lost weight and darkened, but I've become more mature, and I'm no longer the bad boy who shopped all day." Lei Dan praised.

Looking at Jiang Chen with a smirk, Lei Dan sighed, "You're not young anymore, it's time to start a family, and I'm getting old too, so I'll bring you a child when the time comes."

"Mom, what are you talking about? My grandfather didn't say he was old. As his daughter, do you dare to say he is old? My grandfather plans to live another 40 years. As his daughter, you have to live twice as long. Come on, live another 80 years." Jiang Chen comforted.

Brat, just say something nice to me.Lei Dan patted Jiang Chen on the head and smiled, "Your grandfather is an old general who fought bloody battles, and he is growing stronger now, can I compare?"

"You are his daughter, why don't you be better than blue than blue, besides, you will always be young and beautiful in my heart." Jiang Chen flattered.

"Stinky boy." Lei Dan said with a charming smile.

,,,,,,

"Juan'er, are you sure Chen'er can cook?" Jiang Chen's grandmother stood at the door of the kitchen and asked doubtfully.

"That's right, I don't believe it. This brat has been eating every bite since he was a child. He usually cooks without washing his own dishes. Xiaojuan, be careful of your kitchen, don't let him burn " Lei Dan joked to Lei Juan as he looked at Jiang Chen who was busy in the kitchen.

"You guys, just wait and see, I will definitely surprise you when the time comes." Lei Juan laughed.

Jiang Chen was in the kitchen with black lines all over his forehead. He couldn't stand the three women joking in his ear, so he drove them to the living room and said, "I can't concentrate on cooking because you are talking and joking in front of me. You go to the living room to talk, we will I'll call you when I'm done."

Before leaving, his mother Lei Dan teased, "Take it easy, don't set your aunt's kitchen on fire."

Jiang Chen ",,,,,,"

Soon Jiang Chen finished the meal, and when it was served on the table, Lei Dan and grandmother Zhou Yalan were dumbfounded, while Lei Juan, Lei Jun and the two girls were already used to it, and Jiang Xin and Zhang Qian couldn't wait to use their hands. Grabbed a piece and ate it stealthily, and this move was noticed by the mother and aunt, and when they were about to reach out, the two of them slapped their little hands off in unison: "Your grandpa hasn't come back yet, why don't you come back?" Stealing food, how will you get married when you grow up, should you be ashamed?"

"We don't want to marry, whoever wants to marry will marry! Hmph!" The two little girls said with pouted mouths.

Just as I was talking, there was a burst of hearty laughter outside: "Who is it? Who is bullying my two precious granddaughters." The two old people treated them as their own granddaughters, no, they were their own granddaughters.)
"Grandpa!" The two little girls rushed forward to hug Grandpa, telling about the injustice just now!Everyone laughed for a while, and scolded the two ghost (smart) girls.

Lei Zhan walked to the dining table and saw the sumptuous food on the table and praised: "Juanzi, it hasn't been long since I've seen you become good at cooking."

Everyone burst into laughter, Lei Juan said embarrassedly: "Dad, today's table is made by Xiaochen."

Lei Zhan looked at Jiang Chen and shook his head, "I believe you when you said he was mischievous and nonsense again, but I don't believe that he made all this table."

"Old man, don't you believe it, this table was really made by Chen'er, we didn't even beat the helper." Grandma scolded with a smile.

Lei Zhan looked at Jiang Chen and said with a smile, "Okay, just looking at the appearance at your table is as good as what the chief invited me to eat. Come and let me have a taste. Sit down, sit down."

Lei Zhan was the first to take a bite and stared at Jiang Chen after eating. So did his grandmother and mother. Seeing that Jiang Chen was feeling flustered, he said timidly, "Don't look at me, it makes me feel flustered."

Only then did the three of them laugh. Grandpa Lei Zhan said with a smile, "Don't stay in that broken factory of yours. Come to the cafeteria of my office. How about I give you a regular job? The people in the office say we can't eat this, so why don't you eat it?" If you can’t eat it, you will almost become a criminal.”

"Old man, people care about your health. There is no one like you who is almost [-] and still eats meat every now and then. You even say that you would rather go without wine for three days than go without meat for a meal." Grandma always Criticize grandpa severely when he can catch his faults, from their marriage until now.

Every time, the grandfather would stare and say, "I was specially approved by the chairman for eating meat. What's wrong with me eating meat? I can win battles!"

"Okay, okay, you two should stop arguing, today is a rare reunion and talk about happy things." Mother Lei Dan persuaded.

Lei Juan also adjusted the atmosphere, smiled and said to Lei Dan: "Sister, do you remember what I told you about Xiaochen going on a blind date with Junzi?"

Remember, what's wrong.Lei Dan was puzzled.

"Actually, there was a girl who accompanied Lei Jun on a blind date that day. She was very handsome. She taught at a young age like you. In order to create conditions for Junzi, Xiao Chen led this girl away. They chatted Afterwards, I asked Junzi about his partner, and they said that this girl had a crush on Xiaochen." Lei Juan looked at Jiang Chen and explained with a smile.

"Really, really!" Attracting the attention of grandpa, grandma and mother, Jiang Chen had to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

"Brother, where are you going?" younger sister Jiang Xin asked innocently.

"I'm going to prepare soup." Jiang Chen replied.

"Isn't there soup?" My sister continued to ask.

"Oh, this one is too salty for me, I'll make another light one." Jiang Chen said blackly.

"It's not salty." Jiang Xin tasted it and said.

Everyone laughed.
