The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

No wonder, Secretary Hu said, which one the higher-ups will choose.

At first, Liu Feng didn't quite understand what it meant.

But after entering the military region's logistics department and being taken to the window of a large exhibition room, he was deeply shocked.

This is the showroom of the Military Uniforms and Supplies Section under the Logistics Department. Why do I say that? Because inside, along the walls, all of our military uniforms are displayed.

It includes everything~!!
The earliest one can even be traced back to the blue-gray color of the National Revolutionary Army during the August 1st Uprising. In order to distinguish it from the old army, the original red scarf was retained on the collar at this time. The red color has faded a little with the passage of time, but it looks so real.

On the hanger next to it is a set of fabrics with a slightly darker color. If the previous one was light gray, this one is jet black. There are no epaulettes, and the collar is made of two pieces of red fabric sewn on. The shape is very simple.

The fabric is not very good, but one can tell at a glance that this is the clothes he wore when he came out of the mountains. The hat on the collar is an octagonal hat embroidered with red stars, which reveals a sense of age in its simplicity.

That’s right, Liu Feng could tell the age of this old military uniform. It was a uniform with a story. The patches on it showed that it had indeed been worn by someone, and there were even gaiters on the trouser legs.

Although more than 30 years have passed, it is still difficult to conceal the great power contained in this plain and simple military uniform in that era.

If the previous set of military uniforms still had some shadows of the old army and old warlords, then this set of military uniforms was extremely simple and down-to-earth.

Not only Liu Feng, but also Li Nan and Ke Minmin, who came for the first time, could not help but focus their eyes on this military uniform.

The art troupe's stage design team has special dance costumes. For example, in the very famous show "The Red Detachment of Women", dancers have to wear this kind of costumes. However, after all, it has been modified for the show's viewing appeal, and there is still a huge gap between it and the original version.

These are military uniforms from the Red Period. They truly accompany their hosts, walking across the vast snow-capped mountains and across the endless grasslands.

Later, the next set of clothing changed again. Of course, the fabric did not change. It was still the common cotton and homespun cloth. The color did not change much either, but it became a little lighter. I don’t know if it was caused by time or if it was just the way it was. There were also armbands on the arms.

The addition of this armband represents the change from the red period to the inclusion of the sequence at that time, becoming "8" and "NEW4". Of course, the hat has also changed, with an additional round, bluish-white badge.

Further back, the badge is gone, leaving only two buttons, which looks much more comfortable.

Then, in the 596 base thousands of miles away, some officers and soldiers were still wearing military uniforms. The logo on the sleeves was moved to the chest, and the color changed from dark black to yellow-green.

Officer uniforms, soldier uniforms, navy uniforms, male soldiers, female soldiers, when you get here, the variety is obviously more, making it a bit dizzying.

Going further back, it becomes even more complete, including the navy, army, and air force, officers and soldiers, male and female soldiers, the differences are huge not only in the color but also in the fabric of their clothes.

There are also a series of dazzling accessories such as epaulettes and collar badges, especially the golden silk thread on the officers' epaulettes, which seem to be shining even inside the house.

However, one thing about this military uniform, from the boat-shaped hat, can be seen that it has a bit of Big Brother-like meaning, especially the military boots on the feet, which are almost to the knees.

Moreover, it was polished to such a sleek shine that the whole suit, from the inside out, looked very expensive, and it was definitely not cheap at all.

Later, changes occurred again. The boat-shaped hat became what it is today. The officers' woolen coats and soldiers' leather shoes were all what we have today. The shock in Liu Feng's eyes subsided a little.

An entire exhibition room, along the walls, is filled with all the military uniforms that our army has used since its inception to the present day. They are very complete, especially those from more recent times, even cotton-padded jackets, fleece trousers and so on.

After reading it, Liu Feng and the two kids couldn't help but look at the long table inside, where various military uniforms were laid out.

However, not only Li Nan and Ke Minmin, but even Liu Feng, who was in his third year, had never seen these military uniforms.

These clothes are also of different colors and styles, pants, skirts, all ironed flat, folded so neatly, just placed on the table.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go get someone~!"

After a few soldiers were stunned, Officer Hu from the Logistics Department finally spoke.

He was no longer as shocked as he was when he first came here. He had done it before a few years ago, but nothing happened. Maybe in his eyes, this time was no different from the past.

The superior leader just makes a decision and the subordinates have to work around the clock, but we don’t know whether it can be used or not.

If even the tweed coats had not been put away this year, Director Hu might have been more relaxed.

"That's the clothes we're going to try on today?"

Seeing the dazzling array of new clothes, stars appeared in Ke Minmin's eyes. Even Li Nan couldn't suppress his impulse for the new military uniform and turned to look at Liu Feng.

"I don't know either. Since you asked us to wait here, that should be it, right?"

Liu Feng couldn't grasp it either. Officer Hu was the one who knew the inside information best, but he went to call people. He was only a soldier for three years, so how could he mislead the young men? "Wow, how many cloth coupons will it cost to make this?"

Ke Minmin was counting on her fingers, but she couldn't figure it out. According to the current population of a family in Beijing, each person was only given two feet and seven inches of cloth in a year, which was barely enough for sewing and mending at home. The amount for two people combined was barely enough to make a pair of trousers.

To make a new set of clothes, an adult man needs about twelve to fourteen feet, and a lesbian needs slightly less, but no family has the luxury of having more than a few new clothes.

This was almost the year 1965. Three years before that, during the difficult times, the quota was only one foot and eight inches.

When Li Feng led the car team on a business trip to support the two sessions, the students at that time had never thought about the division of work. Everyone thought that they would make a lot of money if they could bring back the custom-made clothes.

For this reason, some people even went to find Li Feng, the person in charge at the time, to express their long-cherished wish, saying that even if they were not allowed to take away a full set of clothes, they could at least take away a woolen coat, because cloth coupons were difficult to get.

In order to ensure the smooth completion of the mission, the trainees who had worked overtime and stayed up late for three months were not only assigned jobs, but also took away clothes customized according to their own sizes. At that time, it could be said that they were not as happy as getting the jobs but the new clothes.

Li Nan was better off. She had no shortage of clothes. After her brother went to the army, all his clothes were hers. As for when he came back, Li Nan found that her brother had added a lot of clothes to the big wardrobe in the ear room.

She is a person who has seen the world, mainly thanks to her brother. Just as Ke Minmin can count the amount of cloth on her fingers, Li Nan has to count the number of sets of clothes her brother has on her fingers.

He brought back a set of clothes when he was discharged from the army, a set of clothes when he took over as a driver, and another set bought at a department store. After he was promoted to officer, he received another set of cadre clothes from the factory. Not only these slightly "ordinary" ones, but he even had a black woolen coat and an officer's woolen coat. He had as many as two top-notch luxury items like coats.

However, her brother seldom wore coats, and Li Nan was very envious of that black coat, but her mother was unwilling to alter it for her because she was still in school at that time~!

"Yes, it takes so much fabric. Those who are selected are lucky, but those who are not selected are a pity~!"

When Ke Minmin was leaning against the window glass, drooling, an old man came up from behind her. He was wearing a neat Zhongshan suit and his eyes looked deep behind his round-framed glasses.

The most important thing is that he had a tape measure hanging on his shoulder, and with his hands behind his back he was looking at the sets of designed military uniforms on the table, with a trace of heartache in his eyes.

The three people were attracted by the military uniforms inside. When they heard someone behind them, they immediately turned around one by one.

The three men breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the old man was not wearing a military uniform.

"Hello, leader~!"

The sensible Li Nan quickly tugged at Ke Minmin's sleeve. Although she was not wearing a military uniform, she had to be addressed respectfully considering her age since she was here. After all, this was a military area.

"You don't need to call me leader. I'm just an ordinary tailor~!"

The old man shook the tape measure hanging from his shoulder, smiled and shook his head, looking at the two girls as if they were his granddaughters.

"Old sir, are you a tailor from the military clothing factory? Are those military uniforms inside going to be tried on today? We are here on business from the cultural troupe, and the leader has gone out to look for someone, so please take a look here~!"

Liu Feng did not dare to neglect him at this time. The man called himself a tailor, which was a name in the early years. He carried a tape measure with him. Judging from his age, his craftsmanship was definitely that of a master.

"Oh~HOHO, soldiers from the art troupe. I said they all look very well-behaved. This outfit, um, is from the art troupe~!"

There was no need to look at the ID or the temperament. The old man just pushed his round-framed glasses and took a look at the fabric of the military uniform and he was able to tell.

"Come, I'll open the door for you. You three are all here to try on clothes today, right? Let me check out the sizes~!"

"Well, you should be about 5 feet 3 inches, um, about 1.77 meters~!"

"As for you, it should be just over five feet, about 1.68 meters~!"

"Ah, I've grown taller, I'm 1.68 meters tall~!"

Compared to the stunned Liu Feng, Li Nan was somewhat happy when she was called. She remembered that she was measured at 1.65 meters during the physical examination when she joined the army.

"What about me? What about me?"

Ke Minmin probably found it amusing, so she quickly followed suit and asked.

"You should be 4'8.5", less than 1.62m, but a little over 1.61m~!"

I don’t know if it was because the prediction was too accurate or what, but Ke Minmin, who was just in a playful mood, suddenly changed her expression~! (End of this chapter)
