Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 237
Jiang Defu went to Director Wu's house to have dinner, and the gifts he brought were not very complicated.

A big bag of candies, a big box of pastries, whatever the children like, the elderly can also have some;
One bag of brown sugar, one bag of white sugar, needed for daily life at home;

The old brand of cream was naturally given to Mrs. Wu;

Mrs. Wu was holding the Modu brand of cream, and she was so excited that her voice changed when she greeted Jiang Defu.

It's no wonder that this kind of cream is very rare not to mention the small counties here, even in cities like Qingcheng, and not everyone can buy it.

In this era, these are big-brand luxury goods. As for ordinary creams, they are also in short supply. The supplies are extremely scarce and not everyone who wants to buy them can buy them.

Women of any age like to be beautiful, even in today's era.

"Advisor Jiang is going to have dinner at home. Hurry up and prepare some dishes to entertain the guests!"

Director Wu ordered his wife.

"Okay! Okay! Staff Jiang, please sit down quickly and I'll prepare a few more dishes right away."

Mrs. Wu said hurriedly.

"Sister-in-law, don't go to too much trouble, just a daily meal!"

Jiang Defu had a very good impression of Mrs. Wu. She looked very gentle and spoke slowly and softly, which made people comfortable. He disliked aggressive women the least.

Mrs. Wu did not listen to Jiang Defu's polite words, and asked her eldest daughter to go next door to find a good woman to help with cooking.

These days, when guests come to the house, it is too busy for one person, so it is a custom to ask someone to come and help.

Jiang Defu was the only guest, and Mrs. Wu even asked people to come over to help. She obviously regarded Jiang Defu as an honored guest.

Jiang Defu and Director Wu went to see his mother again. The old lady was over 70 years old, with gray hair and not very sensitive ears.

People these days are not well-nourished, and those in their 70s are already considered senior citizens.

Director Wu said that he was the second eldest son and had an older brother who fell ill a few years ago. His mother, who had white hair, gave birth to a black-haired one. The shock caused her health to gradually deteriorate.

Jiang Defu brought two medical books to the old lady. The old lady liked them very much. Books, especially medical books, are very precious these days.

Knowing that the old lady was dazzled, he took out a pair of reading glasses and gave them to the old lady. The old lady was very happy after wearing them and said that she could see the fonts quite clearly.

Although reading glasses have appeared very early, they are definitely a luxury product in this era, and it is not something that a family like Director Wu can just have.

Moreover, the production technology of this thing in the pot is very limited now. It was originally something imported from outside. Now that it has no contact with the outside, this thing is even more rare.

Director Wu only discovered that his mother was wearing reading glasses at night.

His mother was also a college student who had studied medicine and had the opportunity to stay in a big city. However, her family felt that it was not safe for her to stay outside as a girl, so she returned to this small county town.

Wu's mother was obsessed with medicine, but she suffered from limited conditions. She read the medical books at home over and over again. She even compiled many years of medical records into a volume and took them out from time to time to read and study.

It's just that because of my presbyopic eyes these past few years, I can't read at all, and I feel even more depressed.

Director Wu naturally knows about reading glasses, but they are precious, and many materials are imported from outside, and the finished products are even more limited. Especially now that the situation is stable, everything revolves around food, clothing and housing. As for other things, Very little attention is paid to it.

He had asked a lot of people to help him, but he had not yet gotten suitable reading glasses. He originally wanted to go to the city to look for them when he had free time, but he didn't expect that Staff Jiang would help him in times of need.

"How did he know that my eyes are presbyopic and why he got reading glasses?"

Director Wu was a little confused.

"Last time you were drunk, the one who sent you over was Staff Officer Jiang. I briefly told him about the situation at home, and maybe I accidentally mentioned something about my eyesight. I just asked my mother, and Staff Jiang said that these reading glasses were originally It was given to an old relative at home, but the old relative happened to be gone, so I didn’t have any use for it, so I gave it to my mother!
He also asked me if it was taboo, and why would I be taboo about that!Old Wu, this Staff Jiang is really considerate. You know so many people. I think this Staff Jiang is really worth getting to know. He is really considerate in his work. "

Mrs. Wu kept praising her.

"Well, go get some water for me to wash my feet!"

Director Wu did not answer his wife's words and ordered her.

Naturally, he likes the new Staff Officer Jiang very much. He is naturally different from him. Even though he is doing well in this county, it is just that his position is out of reach at a glance, and he does not have much prospects for promotion.

Naturally, he is just like this. He works less and does better or worse. It doesn't make much difference. It's just that he has children. If he wants his children to have more opportunities for future success, he still needs to make friends with people like Counselor Jiang.

Not to mention the things that Staff Officer Jiang gave them, it may be difficult for him to get them in his life. They don't look big, but they are too precious. Regardless of whether Staff Jiang happens to be a relative or the reading glasses belong to his deceased relatives, these things are very important to them. It was definitely a timely help, it was really helpful.

Staff Jiang is so versatile and capable. If he is not on Songshan Island from now on, his future will definitely be in the upper class. If his children want to join the team in the future, just a casual word will be enough for them. A person can't even reach it if he breaks his legs.

Since the other party is willing to extend an olive branch, why wouldn't he want to take it up?
As for what Staff Jiang needs, the smart Director Wu naturally understands it very well.

……

On the third day, as soon as Jiang Defu got up, washed up, and had a meal, someone came over and delivered a simple package, saying that Director Wu had found some books for Jiang Defu's entertainment.

Jiang Defu opened the package, and there were indeed several books on it, including some maps of Peng Lai and introductions to mountains and rivers, and two books of Peng Lai County Chronicles, but these two books were from different eras.

The last one was from the Republic of China edition. Jiang Defu found that some pages were folded inside, and he flipped through it at random. It turned out to be a record of the situation on Songshan Island.

Underneath the three books are a handwritten medical record and a somewhat yellowed diary. There are also some folding numbers in the diary.

The contents were naturally related to Songshan Island's medical records, and Jiang Defu couldn't help but get a little excited after reading them.

Looking through the information, Jiang Defu even forgot to finish his meal. A receptionist outside asked him to eat, so he remembered. He ate quickly and went into the room to read the information. Unknowingly, he didn't finish reading until dawn. , looking at the slightly bright sky outside, I didn’t sleep all night.

Put down those books and materials and fall asleep directly.

He didn't turn off the lights all night last night. Someone told Director Wu that Director Wu is a smart man and has not bothered Jiang Defu since yesterday. Now he even asked people to wait for Director Jiang to wake up before quickly preparing meals for people to eat. .

After a day of rest, Jiang Defu said goodbye to Director Wu, and the driver drove him to Nanwang Township.

...The road was full of bumps and bumps for nearly a day. It was only when it was dark that we came to the reception desk in Nanwang Township.

Compared with the county town, the conditions here are much more difficult.

A mud house with some green tiles is the best house. Over there is the team guest house, which is also the contact point between the island and the local area.

Heishan Island and some other Changshan Islands have contact points here.

The staff of the liaison office warmly received Jiang Defu. The person who received him was a clerk named Jiang Kuncheng.

"Counsel Jiang, I originally thought we two had the same surname! It turns out that Jiang is not the other, but if you think about it, we are close."

Jiang Kuncheng is an eloquent person and his words are very humorous.

He is an assistant to Deputy Chief Zhao of the Perihai District Base. The person in charge of entering Songshan Island this time is Deputy Chief Lin.

Although Jiang Kuncheng's position is not as high as theirs, everyone is very polite to this officer. I heard that he was once an orderly beside the leader. Naturally, his status is not ordinary, and he is not too old. He is only one year older than Jiang Defu.

The young people have similar interests, and within a few cigarettes, the relationship between the two has become much closer.

"Wang Zhenbiao from your school is also here. He came early. He came directly five days ago! Our leader will not come for two days. Let me receive you first. You can rest for two days and adjust. Arrangements will be made only when the leader comes over.”

Jiang Kuncheng was very neat and explained the general situation in just a few words.

Jiang Defu gave him two small boxes of cigarettes and a mini bottle of wine, which didn't look like much. This was a simple meeting gift that was not too burdensome, so Jiang Kuncheng accepted it generously.

Jiang Defu didn't think that Jiang Kuncheng was a simple person who could work beside the leader. Even if it was because of the relationship, he would not be a fool in many cases. After all, the leader needed assistants to assist with many things.

Even though he accepted his small gift, Jiang Defu didn't think that Jiang Kuncheng would treat him differently. When he moved his things into his residence, he saw Wang Zhenbiao in the dormitory not far away. He was greeting Jiang Kuncheng warmly. The relationship between the two seems to be very cordial.

Jiang Defu and Wang Zhenbiao looked at each other. Wang Zhenbiao had a sinister look in his eyes, and his expression seemed to be extremely angry with Jiang Defu. Jiang Defu just smiled and glanced at him with contempt. He had always despised such people. .

Wang Zhenbiao saw the disdainful look in Jiang Defu's eyes, and felt extremely angry.

Jiang Kuncheng seemed to have noticed the tense situation between the two people, but he was not surprised. He still greeted them with a smile. Facing Jiang Kuncheng, the two people could not help but give him face. They nodded and went about their own business.

……

Jiang Defu had just rested here for two days when it started to rain.

Yes, it started to rain near the island in August. Normally, there is less rain in this season, the light is not so strong, and the temperature is suitable, so choosing this time to enter the island was made after research. decision.

I didn't expect it to rain at this time. Once it rains, it is easy for bad weather, sea wind and waves to easily affect the entry to the island.

The place to enter the island is near Sunzhuang, a fishing village in Nanwang Township. A battalion of soldiers has been stationed there, apparently in preparation for entering the island in the future.

According to the instructions above, the troops that will be stationed on Songshan Island in the future will be at least one division. Two battalions of troops will be allocated in the early stage. After the island is settled, the troops will naturally start to increase. Otherwise, so many people will be stationed at the beginning. Eating, drinking and urinating is a big problem, so island construction will naturally begin in the early stage.

At first, Jiang Defu thought that the rain in September would only last for a day or two, but he did not expect that it would last for several days.

Jiang Defu and Wang Zhenbiao followed some people who were familiar with the situation here to learn about the general situation of Songshan Island, such as the terrain, the general situation of the island and what to do when entering the island.

It’s just that the situation on Songshan Island ten years ago was not mentioned.

Some people also mentioned it jokingly in chat, but everyone regarded it as a folk rumor.

Everyone is worried about the continuous rain. After all, the time to enter the island includes if everything goes well, they will naturally have to find a foothold on the island, set up camp, look for water sources, and be prepared to settle in. Soldiers will gradually enter the island later to transport the troops. Grain, build a house, settle down, and then even find out whether they can grow land to solve the problem of eating vegetables.

All time points must be accurate, otherwise if you take a step back, the follow-up work will be delayed. After all, this is the north, not the south. If the weather gets colder and winter enters, all kinds of work will be inconvenient.

In the team, many things are based on the results, not the process. For leaders, setting a time point and waiting for the acceptance results is naturally tight.

Many of the people who can apply to come here, especially middle- and upper-level officers, have their own ideas, and naturally they are active in expressing them.

When we meet for meetings these days, many people have become anxious.

It's just that the rain hasn't stopped yet, and Jiang Kuncheng has received a lot of news. Deputy Chief Zhao was on the way and was about to come over. I don't know what happened, but he got a severe stomachache. The situation seemed to be quite serious, and he was hospitalized. It is said that There is still an operation to be done.

According to Jiang Kuncheng, Jiang Defu felt that if there was no accident, Deputy Zhao would probably have appendicitis and would need surgery.

Although this operation is not very big, at least it was a minor operation in the previous life, but with the medical conditions of this era, if Vice Chairman Zhao wants to come here, it will have to be a month later.

After all, it will take some time to recuperate, and the official is not a young man. He is in his early fifties, and he does not recover as quickly as a young man.

However, the deputy chief heard that he was still working selflessly before the operation, and the time for entering the island remained unchanged. As long as he could enter the island, he should enter the island in advance. His illness would not delay the command work. When he left the operating room, I'll always keep an eye on this.

"We have to enter the island immediately. It's just drizzling now. If we delay the time, the weather will get colder and colder in the future. It will be even more inconvenient to station in Anza. There will also be grassy lakes on the island. It will not be possible to work by then. Convenient! I am willing to take people to the island in advance to explore the way!"

As soon as Jiang Kuncheng finished explaining the situation, Wang Zhenbiao stood up and asked for help.

Jiang Defu looked at Wang Zhenbiao. This guy wanted to take the lead!

Only after he came here did he realize that the situation was more complicated than Cong Yang told him. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

He and Wang Zhenbiao were posted here at the same time. Although he was promoted to a professional title, they were not assigned positions. According to Cong Yang's wishes, Deputy Chief Zhang of the base started working for Wang Zhenbiao again.

I heard that Deputy Chairman Zhao is also an old Jianghu. This is a double-dealing, letting them compete for jobs!

Wang Zhenbiao is so obsessed with it, he wouldn’t be him if he didn’t actively grab it!

"Chief of Staff Jiang, look at it!"

Wang Zhenbiao expressed his attitude, and Jiang Kuncheng looked at Jiang Defu and asked him for his opinion.
