Siheyuan: Domineering life

Chapter 168 Special Recruitment of Artistic Soldiers

The two of them didn't speak, each focusing on the food in front of them.

Perhaps considering the eating habits of the Chinese people, the steak seemed overdone and the taste was much worse.

Yang Jun thought of the steaks in later Western restaurants, and suddenly felt that the steaks here were just like that.

He didn't bother to cut it and just put it into his mouth with his fork.

Qian Duoduo saw this scene, she curled her lips and moved them slightly.

Although he didn't hear what she said, Yang Jun clearly saw the word "Tu Hao" from the words in his mouth.

Yang Jun smiled and said nothing.

This girl has eaten at Lao Mo's a few times and feels that she is superior to others.

But little did she know that the things she valued were nothing but dregs in Yang Jun's eyes.

Think about it, in later generations, he often played the role of a gentleman and invited beautiful women to dinner in various Western restaurants.

Wearing a suit and bow tie, with two rows of candles lit on the long dining table, the atmosphere would be much stronger than now.

Although Qian Duoduo eats elegantly, her appetite reveals that she and Yang Jun belong to the same group of people.

"Are you full today?"

After leaving 'Old Mo', the two walked back to the art troupe side by side.

This is Yang Jun’s conversation habit, and it is also the greeting used by Chinese people when they meet.

A simple greeting contains a deep feeling of love.

No matter what your age is, what your status is, whether you eat delicacies from the mountains and seas or simple meals, at least there are cordial greetings from the Chinese people in this world.

"What? You want to treat me to another meal?"

Qian Duoduo walked with his head down, kicking a pebble. When he heard this, his eyes suddenly shone.

"Okay, after the matter is done, 'Old Mo' will start walking."

Don't look at these people who come from the big courtyard. They have noble status and good living conditions, but their family education is very strict. Things like spending dozens of dollars on a meal at 'Lao Mo' will never be allowed to happen to them. On the body.

Therefore, all of them are proud to have been to 'Lao Mo'.

Moreover, people like them who are accustomed to a simple diet have different feelings towards Western food.

Yang Jun sent Qian Duoduo back to the art troupe.

He didn't go back, but sat in the car and waited.

About 10 minutes passed.

Qian Duoduo came back again. She took out two registration forms from her pocket and handed them to Yang Jun.

"Fill it out in the next two days and give it to me as soon as possible. In addition, in the specialty column, write a few more specialties."

Qian Duoduo pointed to the specialty column and said to Yang Jun.

"But my sister doesn't have any special skills." Yang Jun thought for a while and said.

Qian Duoduo rolled his eyes at him: "You are stupid, this is a specialty recruitment, fill it in casually, recruit people first and then talk about it."

When Yang Jun heard this, he suddenly realized and said with a smile,
"Has a big appetite, does that count as a specialty?"

Qian Duoduo's face turned red, and he clenched his fists and wanted to hit him.

She could tell that Yang Jun was deliberately laughing at her appetite just now.

Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Yang Jun turned around and ran away.

"Come back to see you in two days."

……

Yang Jun did not return to the steel rolling mill.

He was going to go to school and quickly asked the two little girls to fill out the registration form.

Yang Liu's high school is in the north of the city, more than ten miles away from home. Yang Jun drove the car and walked on the road, thinking that children in this era are really suffering.

I have to get up before dawn every day to go to school, and then walk or bike to school in the freezing cold.

Of course, there are also people who take public transportation, but that is only reserved for children from wealthy families.

You also need a ticket to take the bus. To save trouble, some parents simply apply for a monthly pass for their children.

Monthly passes are also divided into elementary school students' monthly passes and high school students' monthly passes. The name, gender, age and school of the ticket holder are written on them.

A monthly pass for primary school students is three yuan, and a monthly pass for high school students is five yuan.

Don't underestimate these few dollars. For the people living at the bottom, no one is willing to buy a monthly pass for their children.

However, children in this era are very smart and sensible. In order to save a few dollars, they run to school every day.

Yang Jun drove half an hour away.

Arrive at Yang Liu’s high school.

"Uncle, I'm looking for someone."

Yang Jun took out a cigarette and handed it to the old man watching the door through the window.

This man is in his 50s, has a short haircut, and some gray hair on his temples, but has a very strong body line. He is a veteran at first glance.

The old man glanced at Yang Jun, and then glanced at the jeep behind him that started with the word "jun".

He narrowed his eyes and sniffed the Chinese smoke greedily on his nose a few times.

"Go in and find it yourself."

Yang Jun was stunned.

"Uncle, don't you need to register?"

The old man didn't speak, but waved his hand to signal him to come in.

Yang Jun looked at the jeep behind him and seemed to understand something, so he pulled out another cigarette and placed it on the table in front of him.

"Thank you uncle."

After entering, Yang Jun walked thinking about the teaching building on the left.

The school's classes are all divided according to grades. His sister's grades were among the best in the school and she was placed in the first class.

It didn't take much effort for Yang Jun to find Class [-], Grade [-].

At this time, the other students in the class were nowhere to be found. Only the girl in the front row was studying the questions seriously.

A closer look revealed that the girl was Yang Liu.

"Liu'er?"

Yang Jun was afraid of admitting his mistake, so he called softly through the window.

The girl looked up and immediately said in surprise: "Brother, why are you here?"

Yang Liu ran out of the classroom, like a wronged child, telling him her grievances.

"Why are you the only one in class, where are the others?"

Yang Liu pouted, then pointed in the direction of the playground and said, "They're all there."

Yang Jun looked in the direction of her finger
"Omit...one hundred words here." Yang Jun glanced at it and then said to Yang Liu,
"You call Yu Yu, I'll wait for you at the gate."

"it is good."

Yang Liu responded, turned around and ran towards the playground.

Yang Jun looked at the empty teaching building, sighed, and then left the school gate.

After about ten minutes, Yang Liu pulled He Yuyue and ran over.

The two of them greeted the doorman and went out through the side door.

"I'll take you to a nice meal."

Yang Jun looked at the two thin girls and said distressedly.

"Brother Junzi, I..." He Yuyu stood still, blushing and lowering his head to knead his clothes.

"Yu Yu, please don't say things like 'you've eaten' or 'you're not hungry' to me. I'm here today to discuss your service as a soldier. If you don't want to be a soldier, you don't have to follow me." .”

Yang Jun saw through He Yuyu's thoughts at once.

He winked at Yang Liu.

Yang Liu immediately walked over and took He Yuyu's arm and said, "Let's go."

"Thank you, Brother Junzi." He Yuyu blushed and was pulled away by Yangliu.

There was a restaurant opposite the school. Yang Jun parked the car in front of the school and led the two of them inside.

Yang Jun went to the ticket window of the canteen and ordered two dishes, stewed pork and cabbage vermicelli and stir-fried chicken, and then ordered six white flour steamed buns.

I paid four yuan and thirty cents and a pound and twenty taels of food stamps.

Then go back to your seat and wait for your food to be served.

He took out the two art soldier registration forms and motioned for each of them to take one.

"Registration form for the Art Soldier? It's really the Art Soldier. Brother, how did you know I wanted to be the Art Soldier?"

Yang Liu looked at the registration form and shouted excitedly.

He Yuyu also had an excited look on his face, and the two of them held hands tightly, looking as if they were jumping for joy.

"Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you."

Yang Jun knew how valuable this registration form was.

In a sense, it is comparable to a job quota, or even more valuable than a job quota.

Yang Jun took out a pen from his jacket pocket and handed it to them, indicating that they should fill it out quickly.

The two took the pen and began to fill it out seriously.

The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, discussing with each other how to fill out the registration form.

Yang Jun emphatically told them the things to note about the specialty column.

Just let them fill in singing and dancing directly. He was afraid that filling in other messy things would reveal the truth.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to sing and dance now. After entering the art troupe, the troupe will provide special training. According to the conditions and understanding of these two girls, I'm afraid it won't be long before they are really good at singing and dancing.

Filling out the registration form is very simple. Once the basic information is filled in, there are only a few blank fields left that need to be filled in by the unit.

Military service requires a political review, and the political review requires signatures from the unit and the street office before recommendation can be made.

In other words, this registration form needs to be signed by the school and the street office to be valid.

The two quickly filled out the registration forms, and Yang Jun put them away and prepared to take them to the school leaders to sign and seal them after a meal.

The food came quickly. Yang Liu and He Yuyu were particularly happy smelling the fragrant food, and they ate without caring about their appearance.

Yang Jun just took a few chopsticks to eat. He was not hungry at all. He was very full at Lao Mo just now.

The two girls, probably because they were in a particularly good mood, ate every meal, especially the girl He Yuyu. Although she was thin, she had an astonishingly large appetite.

She basically ate a large pot of pork stew and vermicelli.

When the three of them came out of the hotel, Yang Jun led them to the principal. When passing by the guard room, Yang Jun threw the half-pack of Chinese cigarettes that he had not finished smoking to the old man.

The old man just looked at the smoke indifferently and waved his hand to let them do what they wanted.

Yang Jun knew that this was also a hero who had retired from the battlefield. Naturally, he would not make him surrender just because he drove a military vehicle or gave him a good cigarette.

People like him have long looked down upon life and death, and have developed a pair of piercing eyes.

He knew in his heart what kind of person Yang Jun was. Such a person had principles and a soldier's spirit. It was this kind of person that he respected the most.

Yang Jun led Yang Liu and He Yuyu to knock on the door of the principal's office.

"Come in."

An old voice came from inside.

Push the door in.

Behind the old desk sat an old man in his 50s with glasses. This man was Shan Qi, the principal of this high school.

Principal Shan's face was full of helplessness and exhaustion. When he saw Yang Jun and the others, he asked,
"You are?"

Yang Jun did not apply Jingyan's tactics to him because he understood the nature of these intellectuals. They had their own pride and what they needed was respect, not flattery.

"Hello Principal Shan, I am Yang Jun, Yang Liu's brother, and I'm here to sign with you today."

Yang Jun didn't beat around the bush and directly took out the two registration forms and placed them in front of him.

Principal Shan frowned, picked up the registration form and looked at it, then he looked at Yang Jun in surprise.

Then, without even thinking about it, he took a pen and wrote four words in the unit column.

"I agree with the recommendation."

After Principal Shan signed, he took out the official seal from the drawer, stamped it, and returned the registration form to them.

Yang Jun stared blankly at the registration form in his hand.

He thought that Principal Shan would ask some questions, and he was mentally prepared, but no one expected that things would go so smoothly.

"Thank you!"

Yang Jun bowed to him respectfully.

Seeing this, Yang Liu and He Yuyu also bowed.

Principal Shan sighed and waved them away.

Upon seeing this, Yang Jun and the other three quickly retreated and closed the office door.

After leaving the principal's office.

Yang Jun asked the two of them to go back to the classroom to clean up and take everything home.

They have already decided to join the army, and there is no point in staying in school anymore, so it is better to let them go home as soon as possible.

Yang Jun did not go back with them. He wanted to go to the street office to have Aunt Wang sign the signature. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was almost time to get off work.

Yang Jun immediately turned around and drove towards the steel rolling mill.
