Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 73: Recruiting Soldiers

After Lu Shaohua and the other two had eaten, Chen Guobang went to bed. He was very tired after being highly concentrated for more than seven hours. Lu Shaohua and Yang Jianlong, who were sitting in the back, were still quite energetic and chatting in the living room. Of course, Fang Jiasheng and Du Xiaofeng were also among them. Chen Li went to clean up the guest room so that Yang Jianlong could rest tonight.

Although Lu Shaohua was talking to Yang Jianlong and the others, he was thinking about something else. This time when he returned to Shenzhen, in addition to buying land and setting up a daily necessities factory, he also planned to open more fruit stores. Judging from the current situation and profits of fruit stores, opening more stores would definitely make money. To open a fruit store, manpower is a key, and the other thing is that you can't always take care of the car, so the first thing Lu Shaohua had to solve was manpower, and the second was the problem of transportation.

As for manpower, Lu Shaohua thought hard for a long time and had some basic ideas in mind. He planned to invite more veterans. Soldiers are more straightforward, principled, and trustworthy. As for the transportation problem, Lu Shaohua decided to buy two vehicles to transport the goods himself, which not only saves costs but is also more convenient.

Although he had made up his mind, Lu Shaohua was not in a hurry to ask Fang Jiasheng and the others if they had any comrades, and he was still chatting with them...

There is nothing in the world that is endless to say, and there is nothing that is endless to talk about. After talking for a while, they finally couldn't find any new topics to talk about, and the hall suddenly became silent. Lu Shaohua knew that the time had come. If he didn't talk now, when would he talk? "Brother Xiaofeng, Brother Jiasheng, do you have any retired comrades?"

After hearing what Lu Shaohua said, Fang Jiasheng and Du Xiaofeng looked at each other, not knowing what they were communicating with their eyes. But from their expressions, it was not difficult to tell that they knew what Lu Shaohua was going to do next.

The two of them had come to help Lu Shaohua's family for some time. Lu Jiayao and Chen Li were very kind to them and treated them like a family member. This made them, who had lost their parents since childhood, find the warmth of family again. They knew that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. Now that Lu Shaohua asked about his retired comrades, it was nothing more than needing manpower to help, so the two of them talked for a while, and Fang Jiasheng nodded first, as if asking Du Xiaofeng to speak.

Since Fang Jiasheng asked him to speak, Du Xiaofeng was not sentimental. He rolled his eyes, organized his words, and then slowly said, "Xiaohua, we have many comrades in the army, many of whom were our former subordinates, and most of them are retired now. If we want them to come over, we only need to say a word, and they will come over immediately."

Lu Shaohua nodded, but didn't rush to speak. He was thinking about what Du Xiaofeng meant. People like them who could join the special forces were not simple. Before joining the special forces, it was normal for them to be platoon leaders or company commanders in their original troops. Of course, there were also many people who had served under him.

"Well, that's good! I came back this time mainly to open a few more fruit shops, which will probably require 20 to 30 people." Lu Shaohua stopped here, giving them some time to react. But the meaning was already very clear, he needed manpower, and he wanted to find these manpower from their comrades.

Du Xiaofeng nodded, but when he learned that Lu Shaohua needed 20 to 30 people, he couldn't help but feel happy. Not only did Lu Jiayao treat them well when they came to help Lu Shaohua, but they were also paid very well. They could also see their long-lost comrades from time to time, which made them ecstatic. However, they were still happy, and they didn't know whether Lu Shaohua needed special forces like them or just any one would do, so Du Xiaofeng spoke again. "Do you want all of them?"

After Du Xiaofeng said that, Lu Shaohua realized that he had overlooked a problem. In his subconscious, he had always regarded Du Xiaofeng and his comrades as special forces soldiers, and had never thought that some of them were from ordinary troops. This made Lu Shaohua think about it again. If all the recruits were special forces soldiers, he would certainly welcome them, but there were so many special forces soldiers who had retired.

The hall was silent. Yang Jianlong sat aside without saying a word, watching TV calmly. Du Xiaofeng and Fang Jiasheng looked at Lu Shaohua expectantly, waiting for what he would say next.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Shaohua also made up his mind. In fact, it doesn't matter if they are not special forces. After all, they are here to help sell fruit. They don't need to have the skills of special forces. After all, they can be trained in the future to tap their potential and improve their combat effectiveness. "Well! Whatever, please ask 30 ordinary people to come over. And, if there are any like you, ask 10 to come over. I have other uses for them."

Lu Shaohua's plan was that thirty people would be enough to open the fruit store and drive the cars, but for the other ten special forces, he wanted to go to the Soviet Union with Chen Guobang. After all, the Soviet Union was not very peaceful, so he would feel more at ease if he sent more people over.

Du Xiaofeng frowned. He couldn't figure out why Lu Shaohua wanted to add ten more people, but the more people Lu Shaohua wanted, the happier he was. After all, it would be more lively with more comrades. "Okay, I'll contact them tomorrow."

"There's no rush. Let's wait a few more days and think of a good candidate first. The person I want must be loyal." In fact, Lu Shaohua told them in advance for two reasons. One was to let them choose a good candidate, and the second was that nothing was arranged now, and when those people arrived, there would be no place to stay. After all, there were quite a lot of people, thirty or forty people.

"That's no problem. The people we choose won't do anything wrong." Du Xiaofeng seemed to have great confidence in their comrades and assured them by patting his chest.

Lu Shaohua nodded without saying anything. If he didn't trust them, Lu Shaohua wouldn't let them go to find their comrades. In this era, people are still relatively simple, not like in the previous life, one more treacherous than the other.

Just after the serious business was over, Chen Li happened to come down from upstairs, walked to Lu Shaohua's side, sat down, touched Lu Shaohua's head, and smiled without saying a word.

"Mom, where did my dad go? Why hasn't he come back yet?" Although Lu Shaohua is actually not young, he still leans on Chen Li.

"He went to another village to look at the oranges. He should be back soon." Chen Li glanced at Lu Shaohua with a loving face.

"Oh. Mr. Yang, do you want to go up and take a rest first?" Lu Shaohua responded to Chen Li first, then turned to Yang Jianlong and said. Yang Jianlong looked a little tired. After all, his age was there, he was almost fifty years old, and he had been in the car for more than seven hours. It would be a lie to say that he was not tired.

"Well, then I'll go and rest for a while. I don't know how late I will be able to go to bed at night." Yang Jianlong was indeed a little tired. He was still in good spirits when he just got off the car, but after eating and sitting for a while, he felt tired.

"Haha, then Brother Yang, I'll take you upstairs. The room has been cleaned up." Chen Li stood up and prepared to lead the way for Yang Jianlong.

"Mom, please sit down. Tell me which room it is. I'll take Mr. Yang up there." Lu Shaohua said after he took Chen Li's hand and sat down. He saw Chen Li sweating profusely when she came down just now, and he knew she was very tired. He couldn't bear to see Chen Li running around again.

"Okay, then take Brother Yang to the first room on the third floor to rest."

"Ah."
