night.

Trading Market, Area C.

The third floor of a residential building.

Yu Qiang and others dragged their tired bodies back here. They lived in the same place with Wang Ou, Meng De and others.

Yu Qiang's previous friends were Wang Ou and others. The reason why he knew about the trading market was because of Wang Ou.

He Wenjie walked downstairs with the number plate, "Brother Qiang, I'm going to the shower room to take a shower first."

"Okay." Yu Qiang glanced at Zhuang Qian's bed. It was empty, obviously he had not come back.

Seeing Yu Qiang's gaze, Wang Ou, who was sitting next to him drinking water, said:
"Lao Yu, I have two friends who also participated in this selection, but they are back now. According to them, those who were selected are staying in the training camp. It seems that Lao Zhuang was selected this time."

Yu Qiang couldn't help but said happily: "Really?"

"How can I deceive you?" Wang Ou continued:
"Now that Lao Zhuang has joined the militia team, he has really risen to prominence. You should just listen to my previous advice and join our team. That way, we will have more people and will be able to apply for some projects."

Yu Qiang originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought about how Wang Ou had taken care of them during these days, he didn't know how to refuse for a moment.

Moreover, if Zhuang Qian left, there would only be three people left in their team: him, Little Radish Head, and He Wenjie.

Little Radish Head isn't even an adult yet.

Although Lao Zhuang will protect them in the militia department in the future, their team of three is somewhat weak.

After thinking for a long time, he nodded and agreed:
"Okay, then we'll join your team."

Wang Ou laughed when he heard this:

"I've been waiting for you to say this for too long! So, the points on your number plates won't change. When we do things together in the future, you don't have to get the points you deserve through me. You can handle it on your own."

This is already a very broad authority.

Most teams now manage points centrally, using team number plates to store everyone's points, and then allocating a portion of the points from the number plates to other people in the team.

This way we can control everyone's consumption and try to save more points for emergencies.

The points in the team number plate are managed centrally, and only the team captain can decide how to use them.

For example, when encountering a natural disaster like a thunderstorm or a blizzard, the captain can use the points here to buy basic food for everyone, pay rent and other expenses.

When Yu Qiang heard him say this, he quickly said:
"How can this be possible? We can't make exceptions."

"It's okay, it's settled!" Without waiting for Yu Qiang to object, Wang Ou made the final decision.

"Okay." Yu Qiang nodded.

The members of Wang Ou's team around came over and joked with Yu Qiang.

"Old Yu, we are now a team. Tomorrow when we go to work, I can apply to transfer you to work with us."

"Yes, it's so comfortable for us to work together and chat at the same time."

Some people also touched the little carrot head and said with a smile:

"Little Radish, work with your brother Zhao tomorrow."

Half an hour later, when He Wenjie came in with a towel to dry his hair, he found the atmosphere in the room was quite cheerful.

Just when he was a little confused, Yu Qiang told him that they had completely joined Wang Ou's team.

After hearing this, He Wenjie didn't feel much.

Living together these days, we’ve actually become like a team.

just
He looked at Zhuang Qian's bed. If Zhuang Qian was selected as a member of the militia, they would not be able to work or live together, and they might not even be able to see each other often.

Ugh.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly.

"Why hasn't Lao Zhuang come back yet? It's almost seven o'clock," asked He Wenjie.

Yu Qiang replied: "Brother Wang said that those who come back late are most likely to be selected."

When He Wenjie heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "That's good."

"It's pretty good." Yu Qiang repeated He Wenjie's words, but there was a hint of reluctance in his tone.

He really was reluctant to leave. From fighting the blizzard together in M ​​City to the long journey from M City to the trading market, they were partners who had experienced life and death together.

Just when he was feeling a little sad, the door of the room was pushed open.

The person who walked in was Zhuang Qian.

When Wang Ou saw Zhuang Qian, he smiled and asked:

"How about Lao Zhuang? He must have been selected, right?"

Huashan came over and looked at Zhuang Qian. "Old Zhuang's expression is not right. It seems that he has lost the election."

"It doesn't matter. With so many people running for election, it's normal not to be elected. I heard there are still chances. I'm sure I'll be able to get elected next time."

Seeing Zhuang Qian’s heavy face, Yu Qiang thought that he had not been selected, so he comforted him:

"Lao Zhuang is fine, can you still work with us?"

Little Radish Head also came over and said:

"Uncle Zhuang, that's because the people in Oil City don't know how to recognize talent. With your ability."

"I've been selected and will report tomorrow." Zhuang Qian said suddenly.

His words caused everyone in the room to fall silent instantly.

He Wenjie hit him on the chest and scolded him with a smile:
"Then why do you look so serious? Isn't it a good thing to be chosen? You are so embarrassed!"

"Yeah, Lao Zhuang, what's wrong with you?" Yu Qiang looked at Zhuang Qian with some confusion.

Zhuang Qian glanced at his bed and said sullenly:

"The reserve members of the militia brigade must all live in one place. I will move the bedding to Area A later."

"I"

He couldn't bear to leave these people. After spending these days together day and night, he had become familiar with them.

He likes this atmosphere.

But now he was about to leave them.

Zhuang Qian didn't say that he was reluctant, but his body movements, expressions and tone of voice said it all.

Yu Qiang understood Zhuang Qian and said with a smile:

"What's the big deal? You're not going anywhere. You're just at the trade fair. The trade fair is such a small place, we can definitely meet often. Um, little carrot head, help your uncle pack up."

Little Radish Head felt reluctant to leave Zhuang Qian, so he silently stood up and went to help pack the bedding.

Zhuang Qian took out the number plate and handed it to Yu Qiang.

"I will get a new number plate tomorrow, and this number plate will be invalid at that time. You must withdraw the points in the number plate before noon tomorrow."

Yu Qiang pushed back, "This is the income from your hard work. You can just transfer the points from your old number plate to it when the time comes."

Even though Yu Qiang said so, Zhuang Qian still forcefully stuffed it into his hands.

As if he was afraid that Yu Qiang would not accept it, he explained:

"From now on, I don't think you will be short of points. If you are short of points in the future, you can come to me."

His words silenced Wang Ou, Huashan, Meng De and others present.

Zhuang Qian was right. Once you joined the militia brigade, it was like having a stable job.

Food and accommodation are provided, and the food and accommodation are good. Moreover, the points issued every day are several times more than theirs, and the income is guaranteed regardless of drought or flood.

It is true that Zhuang Qian will never lack points again.

Yu Qiang had no choice but to take away Zhuang Qian’s number plate.

"Hahahaha, look at the atmosphere this has created, this is a huge good thing!"

He Wenjie broke the silence with laughter.

"Lao Zhuang, let me tell you, I, Lao He, will definitely trouble you in the future. You have to take good care of me then. I will also have connections in the militia team."

"Yes, I still have to cling to your thighs!" Wang Ou said with a smile.

Wang Ou and his colleagues were of a higher rank than Yu Qiang, because they had previously reported the invasion of the United States and helped Oil City find the destroyer, so they were given a considerable amount of points and were promoted to level four personnel.

Zhuang Qian forced a smile and said:

"Don't worry, if you have any problems in the future, as long as it is within my ability, just come to me."

After saying this, he silently added in his heart: within the scope of the management regulations of the trading market.

Ju Tianrui's words tonight awakened the former passion of a veteran. There are some things you must do even if you die, but there are also some things you must not do even if you die.

These words were said by Ju Tianrui and touched his heart deeply.

After hearing Zhuang Qian's words, everyone came over to congratulate him.

After half an hour.

Zhuang Qian's luggage had been packed, and Little Radish Head put his luggage on the ground.

"Uncle Zhuang, your things are all here. The captain bought two tortillas this afternoon. I don't know if you ate them, so I left them for you."

When Zhuang Qian heard that two tortillas were left for him, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Their team is really good.

He had eaten it in the training camp, but he did not refuse it. It was a token of kindness from Yu Qiang and others.

Good intentions cannot be wasted.

He looked at Yu Qiang, everything was self-evident.

Zhuang Qian wanted to say something, but he suddenly realized that nothing he said was appropriate.

So he picked up his luggage and said to everyone:

"Brothers, I will come to see you often in the future. Let's go!"

Yu Qiang walked over and said, "I'll take you there."

"It's okay, I can go there by myself." Zhuang Qian replied.

"I'll take you to Area A. I've only seen it from the outside and haven't entered the house in Area A yet, so I don't know what it looks like inside." Yu Qiang said with a smile.

He Wenjie beside him said faintly:
"Captain, he didn't go to the ordinary A area, but the A area reserved for the militia brigade. There are guards at the gate, and non-militia members can't enter."

"Oh oh oh, I almost forgot about this. Yeah, then let me take you downstairs." Yu Qiang said awkwardly.

Zhuang Qian was carrying his own luggage, which was not much.

It's just two bags.

"Captain, I'll go over by myself. Don't make it too sentimental, otherwise I can't hold on." Zhuang Qian said.

Yu Qiang laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, you're already a grown man, how can you still cry? No, then go away."

"I'm leaving. I'll come to see you another day." Zhuang Qian took his luggage and walked out.

Yu Qiang and the others stood in the aisle outside the door, watching Zhuang Qian walk downstairs and then to the main road, his back disappearing in the dim street lights.

Until his figure completely disappeared, a look of loss appeared on Yu Qiang's face.

Lao Zhuang is gone.

But Lao Zhuang came to Area A.

The overall environment of Area A is the best among the residential areas in the trading market.

Not only are the distances between buildings wider, but there are also more street trees, providing a better green environment.

Zhuang Qian entered Area A and looked around the environment. It was indeed quite nice.

He then registered his name at the registry and according to the allotment, he was informed of the room in which he would be residing.

A10-408-01.

A10 is Building No. in Area A.

408 is the room.

01 is the bed number.

At night, under the street lights, the militia members coming and going made him feel the atmosphere of a military camp.

They were all wearing the same green short-sleeved shirt, and they all looked quite strong. Most of them had short hair.

Looking full of energy and spirit.

He carried his luggage, took a long breath, and walked forward to look for Building No. 10.

After a while, he found the location of Building No. 10.

Thump, thump, thump, he climbed up four floors in one breath.

Found room 408.

As soon as I pushed the door open and came in, I saw two people in the room arranging the bedding, and another person was lying on the bed with his legs crossed and eating.

"Oh, No. 1 is here." The person lying inside smiled when he saw Zhuang Qian.

The other two also stopped and looked at Zhuang Qian.

One of the tall men wiped his hands, took the initiative to reach out to Zhuang Qian and said:

"Hello, my name is Dai Tianting."

The shorter man said, "Gong Zhengming."

The man lying on the bed also climbed up from the bed.

"Liu Xia."

Zhuang Qian shook hands with them and introduced himself, "Zhuang Qian."

Liu Xia smiled and said, "The people assigned to this room must be from a large team, and most likely a small team. From now on, we are all comrades."

Gong Zhengming looked at Zhuang Qian curiously and asked:

"Which unit were you in before?"

In the entire room, Zhuang Qian is the oldest.

Zhuang Qian then told them about the unit he had served in before and also told them his military rank before he retired.

Everyone in the room was a little surprised.

"In that case, with your qualifications, you are very likely to be the captain of a team, or even a captain of a group." Liu Xia said.

The tall Dai Tianting shook his head and said:

"It's uncertain. I heard that some of the existing militias will be transferred here to serve as officers for us reserve members. It will be difficult to select officers from just us."

"I think at most he can be a team leader."

In the militia brigade, a militia brigade consists of 200 people.

There are two levels: squad and group.

A group consists of 10 people, a squad consists of 50 people, and a brigade consists of 200 people.

Being able to serve as a team leader is already very good.

When Liu Xia heard what Dai Tianting said, he nodded and said:

"That's right. After all, we just joined."

Zhuang Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. I've seen it during the day. Those who can enter the militia are elites. I'm too old."

Dai Tianting retorted:

"That's different. You are in the reconnaissance company after all. You are more than qualified to be a team leader at this level."

Liu Xia said faintly:
"When I came back, I heard there was a retired regiment commander. I don't know if this person is true or not."

"No way, wouldn't people of this level have already been poached by people from Oil City?" said another person.

Liu Xia explained:
"It is said that he did not fill in the real information. I don't know why he suddenly revealed his identity this time. It seems to be true."

Listening to his roommates' discussions, Zhuang Qian did not interrupt and quietly packed his luggage.

Make the bed and put away your shoes.

Looking around the room, it was twice as big as the one he used to live in, and there were only half as many people living in it.

The whole space is much larger.

The bed is also much bigger.

In addition, there are tables and chairs, and each person has a large locker.

The various configurations in the room are really good.
