In a blink of an eye, Army Day is ushered in again.

The navy dormitory was cleaned inside and out, the national flag was hoisted, the military flag was hung, and even the air was filled with a festive atmosphere.

Yesterday, the deputy political commissar of the Donghai Base and his delegation came to express condolences.

This morning, two co-construction units came to express their condolences.

Tonight, the Binjiang Municipal Party Committee, Municipal Government and Military Division held the August 1st Gala. All the veteran soldiers from the dry rest house were invited to watch, but this had nothing to do with Lao Ge, who moved to the dry rest house from Langshan a month ago.

He is neither a retired soldier nor a retired army cadre. Even he can't care about it now because he was blessed with a daughter just five days ago!

The reason why I moved to a dry rest home was mainly because it was more convenient to take care of my wife during her confinement period in the city. After all, Xianyu's mother-in-law "works" in the sanitation center, and there is a health room in the sanitation center. If his wife and children feel uncomfortable, they can go to the sanitation center for treatment.

Han Xiangning had a day off today, so he came over early to accompany his junior wife and see his infant "little junior sister".

The happiest person is definitely Xiao Hanhan. Although the baby that Grandma Wei just gave birth to is of a higher generation and she wants to call the baby "Auntie", she can eat all the things that people give to Grandma Wei and "Little Auntie". There are a lot of them. delicious.

Seeing her cheerful look, Han Xiangning smiled and said: "Hanhan, stop making trouble, 'little aunt' wants to go to bed and go out to play with Chengcheng."

"oh."

Han Han is not afraid of heaven or earth, but he is afraid of his mother.

After her mother said something, she didn't dare to make any more noise, so she picked up a bag of snacks and went to share them with the children in the dormitory.

Sister Wei was lying on the bed, looking over at her daughter who was sleeping soundly, and said with an embarrassed look on her face: "What little aunt? If you tell me, others will make fun of you."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Han Xiangning smiled and asked curiously, "Master, have you given the baby a name?"

"Take it, it's called Ge Siqi, the word for thinking, the Qi next to the word "王"."

"Siqi, this is a good name, who picked it?"

"Lao Ge named it. How could I know how to name it?"

This name is both literary and foreign. Han Xiangning didn't expect that Lao Ge could choose such a good name. He couldn't help laughing and said: "Uncle Ge is very capable, and all the names he chooses are so nice. Unlike Xiaoyu, he actually let his child be called Crocodile!"

Sister Wei smiled knowingly and said, "Xiaoyu and Yuzhen came yesterday, bringing the little crocodile with them."

"I know, they called me."

Han Xiangning sighed softly and said helplessly: "San'er led the team to the Qingdao Shipyard to participate in the anti-smuggling boat trial. It will take half a month at the earliest to come back."

Sister Wei quickly said: "It's okay, he is so busy at work and his work is important."

…

At the same time, Lao Ge was in the living room receiving Han Gong, Xi Gong and Secretary Wang who came to visit.

They are all old comrades who have participated in flood fighting and rescue operations together, and they are all senior experts. It is a rare occasion to get together, chatting and laughing, and it is very lively.

"Every Army Day, an army meeting is held in the city. If Xianyu is not transferred to the rescue ship brigade and continues to be the commander of the Linghai Reserve Battalion, he will definitely attend."

"There is a military meeting in Linghai, and there should be a military meeting in Binjiang as well."

"Binjiang is supposed to be open, but Xianyu is on a business trip. Even if it is open, he won't be able to participate."

"This kind of meeting is actually just a formality. There is nothing substantial. It doesn't matter whether you participate or not. Besides, San'er doesn't like meetings in the first place." Han Gong said with a smile while holding a tea cup.

"That's true." Lao Ge nodded, then thought about it and asked, "Lao Wang, have the Three Gorges immigrants arrived?"

Lao Ge just took a back seat and did not retire.

Until this moment, he is still the deputy investigator of the Linghai Municipal People's Government. It is normal for him to care about various tasks in Linghai.

Although Lao Wang didn't like the airs of Lao Gebai City leaders, he still said when talking about his "in charge" work: "Here, more than 80 households and more than 200 people came. The reservoir area organized them to take a boat We went to the Binjiang Passenger Terminal to pick them up, and Mayor Wang and Mayor Shen went to the pier to greet them in person. They were very touched at the time, but after all, they were unfamiliar with the place and the immigrants were not used to it."

"Didn't you do a good job in resettlement?"

"The houses are all newly built, each family has a two-story building. We have allocated fields to them and arranged for their children to go to school. Considering that farming is not profitable, we have tried every means to arrange jobs for them, but they are not familiar with the place here. , it’s hard to get used to it, it’s hard to integrate.”

Seeing the three old guys deep in thought, Lao Wang sighed softly: "I have been to their hometown. Their hometown is a mountainous area. It is all mountainous. The land is not as good as ours. Considering that they may not be good at farming, The city has asked towns and villages to arrange agricultural technicians to help, but it may take some time to really get started."

Korean workers thought of the scene of relocating people during flood fighting and rescue operations, and sighed: "It is difficult to leave a poor family, and it is difficult to leave the homeland."

Xi Gong is from Beihu. He has been working and living in Jiangnan Province for several years. He can understand the mood of those immigrants and said in a low voice: "The problem is not life. The conditions in Linghai are definitely better than those in their hometown. The reason why it is difficult for them to Habits, I think the main reason is that relatives and friends are far apart, and the living environment and living habits have completely changed."

"Yes, I asked an immigrant and he said that Linghai is very deserted, with no one to talk to."

"Are there no neighbors in the village?"

"Yes, maybe the young people have gone out, and the villagers are all older and can't speak Mandarin. The immigrants' Mandarin is also not very good, and it is difficult to communicate with each other. And we people in Linghai know how to work and make money. I don’t have that much time to sit down and have family fun with the immigrants.”

During the resettlement, we first considered that there was not enough land for so many people to live together, and at the same time, we were worried that the immigrants would work together as a group, so we resettled them separately.

More than 80 households were resettled in more than a dozen villages in four towns and subdistricts, which directly led to loneliness.

Thinking of this, Lao Wang smiled bitterly and said: "You may not believe it when I tell you. Some people sneaked back within less than two months. We can't say it here. If we say it, it means that our reception and resettlement work has not been done well. , I can only pretend not to know. The same is true in their hometown. Media reporters went to interview and asked if any immigrants had gone back, and the cadres there said no."

Moving millions of people is not an easy task.

In the words of superiors when promoting it, they have solved the world's problems.

People are not used to living in other places, so they run back quietly and can only pretend not to know, otherwise it will be a slap in the face.

Han Gong was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Where is the East China Sea?"

"I don't know how far away it is. I just know that some people who were resettled in Mingming have gone back."

"Just go back, it's not like we don't have any arrangements."

Lao Ge didn't want to talk about this heavy topic anymore, so he turned around and asked with a smile: "Gong Xi, how is Hao Qiusheng now?"

The engineer didn't expect him to ask this, so he quickly said: "He is doing very well now. With the help of several boss officers, he has organized a construction team and is working on the project subcontracted to him by the water conservancy engineering company."

"How many workers does he have now?"

"More than three hundred."

"so much!"

"He has been the manager of a road and bridge company for so many years and has many friends. It is not difficult for him to recruit a construction team."

After confirming that his old subordinate was making a comeback, Lao Ge finally relaxed and started talking about national affairs again.

In the past few months, he watched TV news every day in Langshan. NATO was going to war with Yugoslavia. It was quite exciting at first to watch the war. He even looked forward to NATO ground troops attacking Yugoslavia early and seeing how Yugoslavia troops would fight. NATO coalition forces led by the US military.

As a result, as I watched, I changed from a bystander to a "participant".

The US military actually bombed our country's embassy in Yugoslavia and caused casualties.

The whole country was filled with indignation, students took to the streets to demonstrate, and even the Binjiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government held a meeting to strongly condemn.

After finally waiting for the United States to apologize, Taiwan started making trouble again.

Han Gong sighed softly: "It is not easy for China's leaders to lead. How many things have happened this year? First there was the qigong practice riot, then the US military bombed our embassy, ​​and now Taiwan is unrest again."

Lao Ge nodded and said with deep understanding: "The troops are under the greatest pressure. When the head of the East China Sea Base came to attend the establishment ceremony of the rescue ship brigade last time, he clearly asked Xianyu and the others to take their pre-assignment as their responsibility and to be prepared to fight at any time."

"Fight or not?"

"I don't know this, but I think the possibility of fighting is unlikely. After all, the difference in strength is too huge."

The international environment is not good, and the superiors have attached great importance to the reserve forces in the past few months.

As soon as the six power boats of the Linghai Reserve Battalion were built, they participated in a military exercise in the Nanjing Military Region. They were mainly responsible for building bridges for active troops participating in the exercise when encountering water.

Immediately afterwards, he was dragged by Xianyu to the waters of Chongming Island for sea training, mainly training on beach landing.

In short, regardless of whether there is a fight or not, the troops must be prepared to fight at any time.

Han Gong didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he raised his head and asked with a smile: "Ge Diao, you are different from us now. Your responsibilities are heavier than ours. What are your plans next?"

Lao Ge was stunned for a moment, and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "The child is only worried about raising her, but she is getting older now. She will go to school in the blink of an eye. Lao Wei and I can't be 'wandering' like before. We I plan to buy a commercial house in Binjiang."

"Where do you plan to buy it?"

"Houses in urban areas are too expensive. I can't afford them. I can only buy them in development zones."

"How can you not afford it!"

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I really can't afford it. Even if I go to the development zone to buy it, I need a loan."

The salary of a cadre is not high, and he has lived such a "fashionable" life in the past few years, so it is normal for him to not have much savings.

Han Gong was not sure what to say when the mobile phone issued to him by the Hydrological and Meteorological Forecasting Division of the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission suddenly rang. He took it out and looked at the caller ID. It turned out to be a call from his son-in-law who was far away in Qingdao.

"San'er, what's the matter?"

"Dad, Ning Ning's cell phone can't be connected. I can only tell you that I just received an urgent notice from my superiors and I have to lead a team to carry out an emergency mission. I may not be able to go back for a while."

"What urgent mission?"

"It needs to be kept secret."

"Which superior assigned you this assignment?"

"The Provincial Military Region and the East China Sea Base." Han Yu took a deep breath and added: "Ma Guan and Political Commissar Zhou should have also received notice at this time. Everyone who came to receive the anti-smuggling boat for the trial voyage must participate, and none of them can go back. "

Emergency notification from the Provincial Military Region and Donghai Base, which means that a military mission is to be performed.

Han Gong was startled, and just as he was wondering if there was going to be a fight, Lao Ge's cell phone rang.

"Director Feng, this is Ge Weidong, right? Okay, okay, I'll go back to Langshan right now! There's nothing wrong with Old Wei, Xiaoqin is on summer vacation, and Xiaoqin is helping to take care of her, and Director Xiang is also working in the sanatorium..."

"Ge Diao, what's going on?" As soon as Lao Ge put down the phone, Xi Gong asked eagerly.

Lao Ge Zheng didn't know how to explain it, but Lao Wang's cell phone actually rang.

Lao Wang looked at the caller ID and stood up subconsciously: "Jianbo, what's the matter? It's so urgent. I'm at the navy rest house, here in Gediao. There's no need to send a car to pick me up, and there's no need to notify Han workers and Xi workers. Han Gong and Xi Gong are by my side."

"Secretary Wang, what's going on?"

"The Linghai Reserve Battalion has an urgent mission. We are all members of the expert team. Yang Jianbo asked us if we have time. If we have time, go to the camp for a meeting."

This year there was no major flood like last year. The rescue boat brigade and the Linghai Reserve Battalion had emergency missions at the same time. No need to ask anyone to know that they were military-related missions.

Lao Ge did not dare to delay for a moment, so he hurried in to talk to his wife, then packed his luggage and walked out of the small building with Han Gong, Xi Gong and Secretary Wang. He asked the leader of the dormitory to arrange a car to take them to the rescue ship brigade and Linghai respectively. Reserve Battalion.
