Chapter Thirty-Six

  This is what the brothers of those army transport teams said later, at that time the landlord took off the horse jacket on his body and hung it on his arm, sat down beside the table, opened his mouth and said: You said this restaurant can only serve expensive dishes, right?

  The boss of that restaurant probably couldn't tell at the time that the landlord's brother was actually a moneybag, and he foolishly said "yes yes"! As long as you can order it and afford to pay for it, our restaurant can make it!

  What kind of person is this landlord?

  In those years, as the boss of Wenzhou who played with real estate, which place hadn't he been to? What good things hadn't he eaten? They were all already fed up with eating mountain delicacies and seafood before slowly learning to accumulate wealth and live a quiet life at home, and then came to be a soldier.

  At that time, he took out the virtue of that year's violent house and took a stack of tickets from his horse jacket and patted the table. He said to several brothers of the Army Transportation Corps: "Brothers, give me face today, I'll treat you to dinner, everyone sit down first."

  Then he turned his head and said to the boss, "I'm also a poor soldier, I don't dare order anything too expensive. Just make a few bowls of bird's nest soup, it doesn't have to be the best quality, some inferior blood swallow will do."

  Bring a few more bowls of shark fin lo mein, brothers. A few of us will first fill our stomachs with something to hold us over. We're all hungry and won't be picky anymore. Just roughly make some "heavenly shark fin" and that'll do. But the rice must be made from Japanese Koshihikari or it's sticky to eat.

  For the main course, I'll have the Golden Monkey Stir-Fry and Thousand Layers Pancake. For dessert, I'll have the Irresistible Falling Flower Pastry. And for after dinner snacks, I want something with a thousand knots in my heart, but not too rich!

  Everyone was stunned on the spot!

  Even the chefs in those well-known restaurants in Urumqi, if they don't prepare these dishes ahead of time, it's not like they can just be served at a moment's notice. Let alone that small restaurant next to our dorm?

  Is it a question whether you've heard of these dishes or can they be made immediately?

  Nonsense!

  Looking at the boss of the restaurant blowing cow but can't make a round, the landlord said you can do it or not? If not, I won't bother you either. You give each of these brothers a bowl of mixed noodles and that's it. In the future, don't talk so loudly. This world has all kinds of people, not everyone is as easy to talk to and temperamental as these few brothers!

  So I say that restaurant owner is a typical example of someone who looks for trouble when there isn't any.

  Doing business is all about being harmonious and making money, but this business was wrong from the start, not to mention being arrogant and deceiving customers. Especially after the landlord's brother gave him a chance to step down, the owner of the restaurant still didn't know how to take advantage of it, instead he stubbornly said "I won't make noodles for you poor soldiers..."

  As soon as this sentence came out, before those several army transport corps brothers had a chance to get angry, the landlord stood up and slapped him with a loud slap!

  In less than thirty seconds, the restaurant owner and two others carrying kitchen knives came out to pull down the awning, all of whom fell to the ground. The landlord then called out to those few men saying "Brothers, you'd better hurry up and leave! Today this restaurant is completely closed for good!"

  Watching those brothers leave, the landlord also slipped away. Then, the head of the fourth class took one look at the landlord's face and knew that this kid must have been in a fight with someone outside, and he didn't hold back either.

  The landlord's eyes were still red after running so far. This is our common problem, as long as we are in a fierce argument with someone, our eyes will turn red, and the more angry we are, the redder our eyes become, just like a rabbit's.

  On this side, Jiang Kuanzheng was talking to me, on the other side, the communicator had already run four classes to find the landlord and then watched as the landlord himself ran into the isolation room.

  Not long after, Brother Kuangming came back. Xiao Bailian was so angry that his face turned iron-green. He kicked the small stool into pieces as soon as he entered, and then wandered around the house back and forth.

  Put yourself in Dizhu's brother's shoes, and if you put someone else in the same situation, it would also end up with a beating. I reckon if it were me, I'd have added a few more blows!

  The army still has its own rules, especially when conflicts arise locally. There are always some unclear and inexplicable losses within the army.

  Perhaps seeing my face full of wanting to ask what's going on, Brother Kuang Ming opened his mouth without a good air and said that this time the landlord is unlucky! Apologizing for compensation, responsible for medical expenses, confinement, and punishment are not mentioned. Seeing the landlord about to face the exam, such a thing happened, I'm afraid the quota for the exam will be in danger!

  After listening to Brother Kuangming's words, we became really anxious!

  In the army, there are a few difficult things. Enrolling in military school to drive and transfer volunteer soldiers, the two words "quota" are like a mountain standing in front of everyone. Sometimes, in order to get a quota for their own subordinates, those officers who have been leading troops for many years and have good relationships with each other can become so angry that they turn red and thick-necked!

  The host came up with this at a critical moment, I'm afraid it's going to be a test of learning...

  It's hanging in the air!

  It was only two or three hours later that the camouflage jeep from the military affairs office sneaked into the yard. After chatting with the two military staff and instructors for a few words, they took away the landlord's brother.

  Before the camouflage jeep had gone far, our communications officer rushed into our house and grabbed Huang Ming's brother, saying "It's bad! It's bad!" I don't know who that kid who got beaten up listened to, but he actually took this matter to the Military Region Command. The higher-ups issued a statement saying that this matter must be thoroughly investigated and severely punished, and that we must eradicate the evil wind and maintain military discipline! I said, "Huang Ming, great hero, you'd better hurry up and help those landlords' brothers, or else it'll end in disaster, and it'll be a case of 'pulling down the temple to catch a thief'!"

  The whole class immediately exploded!

  This is ridiculous!

  We old men chose to be soldiers and suffer, we don't ask for understanding, praise or other nonsense. We suffered grievances and still have to apologize to others and be stripped of our uniforms?

  We've worked hard for this armor!

  The whole class was about to start cursing and wanting to smash things when Gang Ming's brother suddenly shouted, "You bunch of nonsense! What are you talking about? Be honest with me and don't move around. I'm going to find the instructor right now!"

  Kuang Ming's brother grabbed his hat and rushed towards Lian's department, but in just a few minutes he scurried back, his face full of anger, sat on the horse, practicing the frog skill, not saying a word, looking at that posture, it was clear that he had been scolded by the instructor.

  Later, at midnight, we suddenly heard a loud roar from the instructor's house.

  "Eliminate the bad influence? Eliminate your mother's dog B! Killing is not just a matter of pointing to the ground, but also asking for my soldiers' lives? Your mother's not that turtle grandson is really infuriating, you're taking eight sedan chairs to lift my soldiers and they won't go fight that scoundrel! Apologies have been made, compensation has been given, punishment has been meted out, and exams are still not allowed? What else do you want? Strip off military uniforms? Do you believe I'll also take off my uniform and lead my troops to flatten that scoundrel's restaurant?"

  Then, the instructor rushed out of the house and stood in the yard, shouting "Emergency assembly!"

  All the brothers were still awake and no one could fall asleep. Within thirty seconds, all the brothers had already stood in the yard, and then the instructor easily buckled the S-belt on his body and ran out with the lead.

  In a small county town in Xinjiang, there are only a few streetlights, let alone the highway outside our dormitory building, which is pitch black and you can't see your hand in front of your face.

  The instructor led a group of brothers to rush forward, and it was so dark that no one could see the direction. Everyone just followed the brother in front and ran.

  As we were running, that little Yang Ke from behind suddenly popped up and said to me, "I feel like the direction we're running in doesn't seem right, does it? If we keep going this way, at most two kilometers more and we'll arrive at the restaurant where the landlord got into trouble!"

  Huh?

  The instructor was so furious, pulling out the brothers in the middle of the night, could it be that he really wanted to flatten that restaurant?

  Do we need so many people?

  Why can't even a small group, even if it's just the logistics team, quietly get things done in the past? Is it necessary to make such a big fuss about it?

  I've got this idea in my mind, so I'm running and telling the people around me to be careful. In a moment, if the instructor calls us up, we'll go up and cover the eyes of those people in the restaurant, making them unable to see anything. The action must be fast and the effect must be obvious!

  In short, with a single order from our instructor, we won't even leave a single brick for that restaurant!

  Mom's bullying has reached our heads, and it's really unknown how many eyes Ma Wangye has?

  Two kilometers of talking had already run away, and just as the outline of that restaurant was vaguely visible, the instructor suddenly shouted - Halt!

  With a swift and decisive movement, one of the brothers stood like a nail in the middle of the road, right in front of our instructor.

  No one spoke, but each brother could clearly hear the breathing of the brothers beside him.

  I don't know what it's like when a pack of wolves gather together to hunt, but I do know that when a group of wolf-like brothers prepare to launch a surprise attack, they are an immovable iceberg that can't be stopped by anyone!

  With just one order from the instructor, the restaurant and everyone inside it would cease to exist.

  Tomorrow, there will be a pile of rubble in that place, and maybe there are still a few vegetable people in the rubble!

  We're waiting for the instructor's order!

  The instructor has given orders!

  Turn back and run!

  Still neat and uniform movements, still crisp and powerful footsteps, the brothers turned their heads and ran in the direction they came from.

  Then, it was the instructor's loud and clear voice.

  One! Two! Three! Four!!!!!

  Roar!

  I can only use this word to describe the sudden and violent eruption of that number in the darkness!

  One after another, I heard the instructor's anger in those numbers!

  One after another, I heard the grievances of brothers in there!

  One by one, I heard the stern military discipline in those numbers!

  One after another, I heard the mighty roar of the Chinese military!

  We are soldiers, a group of well-trained soldiers, a group of soldiers supported by the Chinese people!

  Our will to fight and kill can only be used where we are needed!

  Even if...

  Maybe it was the instructor's scolding that had some effect? Or maybe it was the phone calls made by Gangming Ge in the middle of the night to the communication room, shouting "Uncle, Grandpa, Grandma" with a sore tooth, that worked? Anyway, the landlord is back, and the exam is still going on.

  That night when the landlord left, several brothers gave a farewell dinner for the landlord, and the landlord's brother cried.

  The landlord said that in this life, he owed a favor to Director Wang and his brother Gao Ming. If it weren't for them, they would have ended up as beggars.

  The instructor had never begged anyone in his life, but that day he made phone calls from afternoon to midnight, and countless old chiefs and leaders were found. In the end, he was scolded back with a red face and a thick neck, wearing the landlord's horse jacket.

  The Gu family rule is not to rely on the face of elders to get things done, otherwise, Old Master Gu's eyes would glare, and the consequences would be unpredictable. Gu Ming broke this rule, and the consequences...
