Old Zhao waved his hand: "Okay, then you will let it go. I will come to patrol the border with you every day from now on, and herd sheep. I will see who dares not let it go!"

"Teacher, Mr. Xie!" The cheers were neat and deafening.

Lao Zhao is still as domineering as ever, which makes people admire him.

"Teacher, everyone chose me as the battalion commander of the border patrol camp, but I am not capable enough. I suggest that if the teacher is our battalion commander, would it be good?"

Wei Quanyou struck while the iron was hot. Since his daughter and son-in-law came, Wei Quanyou, who has been taciturn, seemed to have changed his temperament. Not only did he talk too much, but he also had a quick mind.

"Okay, welcome to the teacher!" This time, there was a long and warm applause.

Lao Zhao did not hesitate at all, and immediately stood at attention with a "bang!", which means that the soldiers returned to the team. Therefore, Lao Zhao, the chief officer at the level of the division, was completely demoted to the commander of the first battalion.

But this amateur team did not have a car, but many of the old soldiers had horses, so Wei Quanyou simply handed his horse reins to Lao Zhao.

"Battery Commander, this horse was given to me by Ye Wancheng. I will treat it as your car in the future!"

"Okay, I'll take this thing away. I'll patrol the border every day from now on. But I'll have agreed in advance. Where will I patrol in the future? You'll be responsible for food and accommodation!"

The soldiers laughed "haha". Needless to say, not to mention the teacher, or other comrades who rushed to whom they could ignore food and accommodation?

The reason why Lao Zhao is willing to be the battalion commander is not just because this is what he is willing to do.

He also found that the units in the Military Reclamation City were obviously not as harmonious as before.

In the past, there were competition among companies. How could people from military backgrounds be content with others? It’s just that competition is competition, but once a brother unit needs help, people from other companies will rush up without hesitation.

They are not only colleagues, but also comrades-in-arms. They can hand over their backs to each other when they arrive on the battlefield.

Although many units in the military reclamation city are closer than before, the relationship between them is gone.

There is even a tendency to hate others and laugh at others without them. When encountering difficulties, not only will they not help, but they will also laugh at you. This is the most intolerable thing for Lao Zhao.

The reason why we started with this animal husbandry company is that both agricultural companies and animal husbandry companies are currently the largest enterprises in the military reclamation city. They are also the most domineering.

Of course, this is also related to the company's leaders. Secretary Xi Dehe is a veteran of the infrastructure company, while manager Cuicui is Ye Wancheng's daughter-in-law.

This is not to say that these two people are domineering, but the people below are pretending to be powerful. As the old soldiers began to retire, most of the children of the Corps went to various enterprises.

Agricultural and animal husbandry companies have also begun to hire a large number of external personnel. These people are migrant workers, have no skills and do not conform to the naturalization system of the Corps, so they can only do some physical work.

However, Junken City never discriminates against foreign populations, and treats them equally. These people live very well here. Some start families and businesses here, while others just take care of their families from their hometowns to make a living.

This is the same as Guangzhou and Shenzhen in this era, but the Military Reclamation City is in the distant northwest.

However, with more people like this, there will naturally be many disadvantages, such as lack of a sense of belonging and the kind of love that the corps is thicker than water.

Just like not allowing Wei Quanyou to herd sheep, it was actually done by the people below. If Wei Quanyou went to find Ye Wancheng, this matter would be easily solved.

But Wei Quanyou is not a person who likes to cause trouble for his comrades, so he would rather go to Lao Zhao than call Ye Wancheng.

Lao Zhao rode his horse back home happily. The Municipal Party Committee’s family courtyard had no horse ring, so the horse could only be tied to the yard. Moreover, the forage was taken back from Lao Wei.

After having the Public Security Bureau, the original guards were gone. You can't ask the public security bureau people to feed him the horses, right?

As soon as Lao Zhao rode into the yard, many people saw it. The yard was not big, and the people living in the municipal party committee and government came out to watch the fun. The main reason was that I hadn't seen it for a long time.

Think about it a few years ago, when everyone went out, they rode horses, but in the blink of an eye, there were almost all special cars.

There are many cars in the military reclamation city, who can do the leaders to drive a few cars? Most of the leaders’ cars are given by the car factory.

This is how people are. Once there is nothing, they often think about it. At this time, a group of standing members have already surrounded Lao Zhao's horse and started to comment.

Lao Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to them, and these guys were still on the job. Lao Zhao felt awkward when he saw them, so he turned his head and went upstairs.

Aunt Gan saw him coming back and smilingly helping him take off his coat. Because she was very happy to see the old man today.

This expression has never been seen since the day Lao Zhao retired.

"How happy are you?" Aunt Gan couldn't help asking.

Old Zhao smiled "hehe": "I became the battalion commander today."

Aunt Gan's smile stopped and asked in confusion: "Aren't you all retired? Why have you been demoted so many officials?"

Lao Zhao was stunned for a while before he understood what his wife was saying. He couldn't help laughing. Then he told the whole story about the cause and effect.

Aunt Gan was a little overjoyed now. The old man was sleeping in the open again at this age, and she was worried that his body would not be able to bear it.

However, she knew the old man's temper. Once the decision was made, no one could persuade him. She could only quietly prepare some clothes for him. Although it was already spring, the late spring cold in the northern border was very fierce, and those who got up early and went to bed late had to prepare coats.

Especially the old man has changed to riding a horse again, which may be different when riding a car.

After Lao Zhao finished his meal, he hummed a little song and took a shower. In fact, there is a problem with their generation and they don’t like to take a bath.

It’s not just because I’m lazy, but because I was afraid of life shortage when I first entered Xinjiang. Who could imagine that half a teapot of water would do such a thing as rinsing my mouth and washing my face? But that was the case in that era.

So when Lao Zhao saw someone taking a shower with a faucet on, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

The reason why I took the initiative to take the shower today is because I don’t know where I will stay every day in the next few days?

At least it takes two days to ride a horse on the 274-kilometer border. Because horses are animals, you usually have to rest well after running a hundred kilometers. If you are too tired, the horse will be useless.

When Ye Wancheng returned home late, Meihua told him about Lao Zhao coming back on a horse. Ye Wancheng just smiled and didn't care.

People have nothing to do when they retire, so what if they ride a horse? They just ride a camel and just be happy when they come back.

Until now, Ye Wancheng still wants to go on a horse and run a lap from time to time, but his wife insists on forbidding it.
