Chapter 113 He Daqing Recommends Himself

After dealing with Jia Zhang's affairs, the father and son went out to the vegetable market.
When passing by the front yard, He Yuzhu even went home to take a look.
I found two little kids sitting on the kang with their heads down because they didn't find anything.
So I couldn't help but asked with a smile,

"How's that, Rainwater, did you two find anything?"

Seeing his brother coming in, He Yushui hurriedly slid down from the kang, trotted to the door, looked up at He Yuzhu, and said with a tangled face,

"Brother, where did you hide the things? We searched through several cabinets and couldn't find it."

"You little girl, if my things could be found so easily by you, how could I have hidden them for so long?
If you can’t find it, then you can’t find it!

Anyway, you are still young and you can’t lift it.”

At this time, He Daqing, who was behind them, heard the conversation between the brother and sister and couldn't help but ask,
Then I heard He Yushui say with an unhappy look on his face,
"Dad, my brother Qingshan and I were looking for the gun that my brother hid, but we couldn't find it after searching for a long time. We don't know where he hid it."

He Daqing was shocked to hear that his girl was looking for a gun.

Then he kicked He Yuzhu.
"You little bastard, how big are the rain and the green mountain? You dare to give them the gun, what if something goes wrong?"

He Yuzhu knew that He Daqing was concerned about them, so he didn't think it was a big deal.
He explained with a smile,
"Don't worry, Dad. They definitely won't be able to find what I hid. Otherwise, I wouldn't have kept it a secret from you for so long.

And don't say you can't find it. Even if you find it,
Before I hid, I had already separated the gun and the bullet. A gun without bullets is just a fire stick or a piece of iron. Nothing will happen to it."

Seeing that his son did not do anything wrong, He Daqing felt a little relieved in the morning, and then he looked at his daughter with a fierce face.

"Yushui, don't look for your brother's things anymore. It's dangerous. What if you get hurt?"

Seeing He Daqing's serious expression, He Yushui pursed his lips, then nodded.
"I know dad!"

"And you, Qingshan, don't look for me again, or I'll ask your mom to beat you up!"

"Uncle He, I understand. I'll take Yu Shui to the backyard to look for Zhao Di."

"Go!
Okay, Zhuzi, let's go quickly. If there is meat for sale in the market, we can't be late."

As soon as the father and son came out of the courtyard, they saw the soldiers from the security team and the gendarmerie walking in a loose line and dejectedly under the leadership of the officers on the street.

Then He Daqing stopped the neighbors on the street and asked,
"Lao Zhang, what's going on?

Didn't they say that the PLA work team was going to take over the security team and the military police? Why are these guys here? "

"The handover ceremony has just been completed. These soldiers are now going to the outskirts of the city to be reorganized by the People's Liberation Army."

"It turns out that the army is leaving the city!"

After saying that, He Daqing did not stay to watch the fun. After saying hello to Lao Zhang, he continued to go to the vegetable market.

Before we even got to the market, we saw some people on the street dragging wheelbarrows carrying live chickens, ducks and whole pigs towards the market.
Seeing this scene, He Daqing stepped forward curiously and asked,
"Hey guys, where are you from? Are you bringing these things to the city to sell?"

Hearing He Daqing's question, the man stopped and said a little stiffly,
"This gentleman is invited,

We are from the countryside outside the city.

Last night, the village received an order from above, saying that the Peking Military Control Commission would provide a batch of chickens, ducks, fish and meat to the people in the city, so that you city people can have a good New Year.
So we worked hard for most of the night to get the stuff in.”

"No, please don't call me master. I don't deserve it. But your pig is still alive and kicking. You can't let the buyer buy the whole pig and kill it yourself!"

"No way, man.
The order from above required us to deliver it this morning.

By the time we received the supplies from the People's Liberation Army, it was already midnight, so we had no time to kill the pigs.
I can only wait until I get to the market to find a butcher."

Hearing that these chickens, ducks, fish and meat were really transported into the city to be sold to the common people, He Daqing immediately patted his chest.
"To be honest, my son and I are both cooks and we can butcher pigs. If you don't mind, I can help you.
Just don’t leave us behind when you buy meat later.”

“Oh, that’s great!
Then you two should go to the front and find the comrades of the PLA working team leading the way. You can tell them about your situation. "

I heard that the people in the front can be the masters, and I had already contacted Lin Zheng and others yesterday.
He Daqing immediately smiled and said,

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away and kill the pig as soon as possible so we can buy meat earlier."

Following the route of the transport team, the father and son jogged all the way and soon saw several people in military uniforms at the front of the team.

At this time He Daqing shouted loudly,

"Sir, Liberation Army commander, I heard from the villagers behind me that you need a butcher, do you think I can do it?"

When the comrades from the work team heard someone calling them from behind, they stopped walking.

When the father and son came closer, the leader said,
"Hello comrade,
We are not superiors. You can just call me Comrade Li or Comrade Hongying.
We really need someone who can kill pigs. It would be great if you could help.
Don't worry, we will not reduce the compensation by a cent."

He Daqing had only had a short time with Lin Zheng last night, so he didn't have any direct feelings yet.

Now I heard Li Hongying say that I should be paid for killing the pig.

He Daqing, who originally just wanted to buy meat quickly, now truly felt the difference between the two armies.
"Okay, okay,

Female commander, no, it's Comrade Li. Comrades in the People's Liberation Army are different.
You are so polite. The comrade from the work team yesterday was also very polite. They were completely different from those officials in our Peking headquarters.

Don't worry, I will definitely kill these pigs for you and ensure that none of them will be wasted."

"Well, I'll thank you and your son on behalf of everyone."

Just as the father and son followed Li Hongying to the vegetable market, the work team that entered the city last night started a large-scale propaganda campaign with the help of the Peking radio station.

"...

According to the instructions of the teacher,
In order to let the people in Beiping have a good New Year,
Our military logistics, quartermaster and other departments will gradually release a certain amount of chicken, duck, fish and meat to major markets in Beijing in the next few days.
If people need it, they can go to various vegetable markets to buy it.

During the Chinese New Year,
In order to avoid panic, our army promised not to enter cities on a large scale to disturb the lives of ordinary people.

However, small teams will be dispatched to take over confidential archives, warehouses, public security, education, health, transportation, banks, railways and other functional departments.
......"

After several consecutive broadcasts, cheers from the streets and alleys of Peking resounded through the sky.

Amidst huge cheers, the radio sounded again.
