Chapter 879 What a Trick!

When we came out of the Military Commission Office Building, the sky was already dark. It gets dark much earlier in winter.

Coupled with the weather in the mountain city, it got dark earlier than usual.

There is no wind.

People are hurrying on the street.

This is going to change.

"Return to the Zishi training class." Luo Yao took a deep breath, jumped on the jeep, and told Cai Xiaochun.

Just after we crossed the river, it started to rain, and then came sleet. Although it was not very heavy, it hit the body and soaked the cotton-padded clothes. If you wear them wet, you can easily get sick.

"Deputy Director Luo, it's so late, are you still here?" Li Zhifeng ran out in surprise when he saw Luo Yao's car approaching.

"It's snowing, I'm a little worried here." Luo Yao got out of the car, half of his body was wet with rain and snow.

"Aren't you still relieved that I'm here?"

"Well, how are our supplies? I'm not worried about rice and noodles. They are mainly vegetables and meat. With the snow, it will be difficult to buy fresh vegetables, meat and eggs..."

"Don't worry, we have already saved a batch of vegetables, including cabbage, radishes, and some pickled vegetables. We also have meat. The fresh ones are frozen, and there are also pickled fish and meat. This year we They also asked the students to make some sausages by themselves. I estimate that we should have enough to live in within a month or two. However, green vegetables are not easy to get. They can only pick them and buy them now. They are not easy to store. There is no way. .”

"Okay, I feel relieved after hearing what you say. Are the heating stoves and charcoal ready?"

"It's ready. We bought 30,000 kilograms of coal in one go, as well as more than 10,000 kilograms of various types of wood, and some fodder, which adds up to more than 40,000 kilograms."

"It's not enough. Double the reserve for me. To maintain this reserve, I need to add more food to my family. By replacing old food with new food, I can save at least one million kilograms of food."

"one million?"

"Yes, for one million catties, I will allocate a sum of money for you to build the grain depot to the highest standards. Don't be afraid of spending money. It will be carried out as soon as spring next year."

"Deputy Director Luo, are you trying to hoard food?" Li Zhifeng asked.

"I am preparing for a rainy day. If the current situation continues, our life will not be easy in the next two or three years. We have food in our hands and don't panic. I will first take care of the hundreds of people in our military technical department who have food to eat. As long as If they have food to eat, they can work with peace of mind, and I can’t care about much else.”

"One million catties, we can't eat that much?"

"In our military technical department, there are probably thousands of people with families and families included. Based on the ration of one pound and two taels per person per day, how much food do you need to eat in a year?"

Li Zhifeng calculated: "Each person weighs one catty and two taels, which equals one thousand two hundred catties a day. In a year, it will be almost five hundred thousand catties..."

"Deputy Director Luo, what about the remaining 500,000 catties?"

Li Zhifeng realized that he was asking a stupid question. Wouldn't it be a good thing to have twice as much food?

"Be sure to pay attention to safety when burning the stove for heating. Don't be careless. Patrols are on duty at night, once every two hours. Every house with people must be visited. If something goes wrong, military law will be dealt with!" Luo Yao said seriously! .

Many of these baby pimples are people who are not very smart in life, but they are all very important.

Nothing can happen to any of them.

"Understood, don't worry, I will arrange it. Two people will patrol back and forth at least eight times every night!"

"Well, come with me to see it."

"OK."

Luo Yao had to go and see it before he could go home with peace of mind. In this rainy and snowy weather, accidents were most likely to happen, and it was best to take precautions before they happened.

"Ask the infirmary to prepare more cold medicines and frostbite ointment in case of emergencies. Also, the mattresses of the female students are too thin. Give each of them another one, and we can get them some thermos bottles..."

"Deputy Director Luo, you are so attentive." Li Zhifeng took out his pen and wrote down Luo Yao's words one by one.

"Ensure the hot water supply. It's not Christmas tomorrow night. They can hold some activities, such as singing and dancing, but the main thing is entertainment, don't be extravagant and wasteful."

"yes."

"The ideological work in the class must also be strengthened. Any remarks, publications and propaganda materials related to communism must not appear. You must check regularly. If you find anything, investigate and deal with it. Do you understand?"

"Understood, please rest assured, Deputy Director Luo."

…

The sleet slowly turned into snow, and by the time Luo Yao came out of the Danzishi training class, he could already see a layer of white snow covering the roof.

"Let's go home." Luo Yao got into the car and asked Cai Xiaochun to start the car and return to Huangjiaoya's home.

"Xiaochun, let's eat together. If you go back now, you probably won't have any food. You have to cook for yourself. I just need an extra pair of chopsticks here." Luo Yao got out of the car and greeted Cai Xiaochun. Cai Xiaochun and Yang Fan didn't Same, if you don't live with them, if you go back at this time, the cafeteria will probably be out of food.

"Yes, Brother Yao."

"Teacher." Luo Yao dusted off the snow on his body, walked into the house again, greeted Yu Jie who was inside, then took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, put it on the stove, rubbed his hands, and baked For a moment.

"We don't know when you will come back. Old Dong and I have already eaten. The food is left for you and is being heated in the kitchen pot."

"Xiaohui didn't come back?"

"She called and said that something happened at the institute and she might come back later and not come back for dinner."

"Oh, I know." Luo Yao nodded.

After calling Cai Xiaochun, the two went directly to the kitchen. They didn't take the food to the dining room and just finished dinner in the kitchen.

This also saves trouble.

Cai Xiaochun rushed to do the dishwashing work, and Luo Yao didn't stop him: "It's snowing very hard outside, why don't you stay here tonight, sleeping in the tiger's room, he won't be there anyway, you won't If you dislike it."

"No, Brother Hu is not here. I won't have far to go back, just a few steps." Cai Xiaochun said hurriedly.

"what ever."

Luo Yao didn't insist. Cai Xiaochun did not live far away. The straight-line distance was only forty-five meters, but it would take two to three hundred meters to walk back.

Such a journey really can't be considered too far.

…

Back in the main hall, Yu Jie was sitting on the sofa reading a book. When he saw Luo Yao coming in, he put down the book in his hand, took off his glasses, and pinched the area between his eyes.

"Wen Yuqing ran away?"

"Teacher, you know everything." Luo Yao nodded and smiled.

"Xiao Hui told me. Although she didn't say it explicitly, I knew it as soon as I guessed it." Yu Jie said, "You Dr. Wen is very powerful, but has no responsibility. He is still timid and cannot achieve big things at all. How can he be where he is today?" status, they all take the wife route."

"It's not a bad thing to have a well-connected wife." Luo Yao smiled.

"Then why don't you go to the Yule Ball tomorrow night?"

"I have no idea of ​​clinging to the powerful. Besides, it's not my character to be a soft-boiled person. I live in the shadow of a woman all my life. No matter what you do, no one will think you are outstanding. This way of living It’s too uncomfortable.” Luo Yao said.

"Even if you go, people may not think highly of you?" Yu Jie smiled. If he used opportunistic means to get to the position, he would not be the Luo Yao he knew. The arrogance in his bones is innate. This kind of person would not ask for help. The powerful bow their heads.

The problem is that he is very worried about Luo Yao's future because he sees the fact that Luo Yao is likely to turn against Dai Yunong.

Dai Yunong is a very controlling person, and Luo Yao has that strong spirit of resistance. When he was weak, he might choose to compromise and be forbearing, but when he becomes more mature, he may no longer be forbearing. and compromised.

The antagonism between the two is foreseeable, unless Luo Yao is willing to be an obedient puppet for Dai Yunong.

This is unlikely.

"I went to see He Yaozu and reported the matter to him. I guess the committee already knows about it."

"Wen Yuqing is not an ordinary person. He is the director of the military technical department and the head of a key secret department. His departure is tantamount to defecting. If the Japanese find out and directly kidnap him, there will be big trouble." Yu Jie said, "You Ning, when the time comes, you will also be jointly and severally responsible."

"Teacher, I can't send someone to monitor him. He is my chief director and I am just his deputy. If he reports this to me, I won't be able to live with him. Besides, I have long legs. For him, doesn't he know the consequences of his running away? Now that he has thought about it clearly, what else can he do if he still wants to leave without saying goodbye?" said Luo Yao.

"That being said, sometimes, those who hold you responsible will not be reasonable with you." Yu Jie said.

"Just pursue it. Everyone is gone and I can't do anything."

"When Wen Yuqing runs away, there may be conflicts between you and Mao Zongxiang, the director of the military technical department. What do you think?"

"What can I have in mind? In terms of closeness, I am far inferior to Mao Zongxiang, and I am far from qualified to be the director of the Military Technical Office. This director will not fall on me."

"That's right, the old man has always been very familiar with people. Although you have made a lot of achievements, in the eyes of the old man, you are still very young and have little qualifications. He cannot control the situation. He will definitely not hand over the military technical department to you directly. , Therefore, Mao Zongxiang’s chances of winning are much greater, but we cannot rule out transferring someone from other departments.”

"So, teacher, Mao Zongxiang and I have a gentleman's agreement." Luo Yao smiled and confessed directly to Yu Jie.

"Gentleman's agreement?"

"I made an agreement with Mao Zongxiang that no matter who between me and him becomes the director, the vacant deputy director will be nominated by the person who loses the election and must support it," Luo Yao explained.

When Yu Jie heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "You Ning, you have made a good gentleman's agreement. In this way, the interior of the military technical room will be stable and not chaotic. If someone is brought in from outside, what kind of stability will be destroyed? If the transition can be smooth, he will never ask for trouble at this time, but in this case, your chance of winning will be even smaller."

"It may not be a bad thing for me if Mao goes up. What's more, if he goes up, I can nominate a deputy director, so I won't actually suffer. When the time comes, the military technical department can follow the military commander's model, why not?"

Yu Jie nodded. Mao Zongxiang served as the nominal director, and the actual person in charge was Luo Yao. This was an ideal situation.

Just like when Wen Yuqing was here in the past, of course, whether Mao will accept his fate is definitely not the case, but Wei Daming is likely to be out early.

No matter how well he does in the second team and no matter how many messages he deciphers, he will probably become the wedding dress of Mao Zongxiang and Luo Yao.

This is a great move!
