Chapter 1084 Da Gang, you're really something, you're really capable!
Chapter 1084 Da Gang, you're really something, you're really capable!
The commendation ceremony ended, but Han Dagang was still in a daze.
As soon as we stepped out of the auditorium, Captain Qi was still waiting there.
Han Dagang snapped out of his daze. "Captain, what are you still doing here?"
Captain Qi patted the bicycle seat. "I'm leaving. You're going to walk back by yourself? You're a model citizen, I have to take you back. So, did you see Commander Lin?"
Han Dagang suddenly reached out his hand.
Captain Qi didn't understand. "What does that mean?"
Han Dagang said in a low voice, "Master Lin shook hands with me!"
"Oh dear! Oh dear! Oh dear!"
Captain Qi was speechless for a moment. He forked the bicycle, rubbed his hands hard on his clothes, and shook hands firmly with Han Dagang.
"Da Gang, Da Gang, I'm benefiting from your success! Here's what we'll do: tomorrow at a meeting in our squadron, you can share your thoughts and experiences with everyone!"
The two stopped riding their bikes and started pushing them, chatting as they walked.
"By the way, Captain, I was thinking of going to the supply depot at the dock. They said they've issued some rewards, so I might as well go and collect them all at once."
"That's great, let me see for myself. But tell me, did Commander Lin wish you a Happy New Year? What did he say?"
The two chatted with great interest and unknowingly arrived at the supply station.
As soon as Han Dagang showed the red certificate, the people in the supply department immediately became respectful.
The section chief personally came out to greet him, "Master Han, we've already given instructions that your reward supplies are all prepared. However, there's quite a lot of stuff. Don't worry, we'll send a cart to deliver it to your home!"
Captain Qi hurriedly said, "I came by bicycle. Just tie them together into one big bag and strap it to the back seat!"
The supply manager recognized Captain Qi and immediately laughed, "Old Qi, I know you mean well, but even if you brought two more bicycles, we might not be able to fit them all!"
As he spoke, the supply manager called out, "Xiao Liu, Xiao Sun, bring the cart over here!"
The staff busied themselves, and soon a cart loaded with supplies was pushed out.
Captain Qi was dumbfounded!
The first thing to come into view was half a pig!
A complete half-pig! One foreleg, one hind leg, fat, ribs...
Then came two bags of rice, two bags of flour, and two large black earthenware jars, which, needless to say, contained oil.
Next came fabrics, groceries, then non-staple foods, peanuts, melon seeds, salted fish, braised meat, and even a bag of apples, which were quite rare at the time!
Han Dagang was stunned!
This is getting rich!
The supply director said with emotion, "The higher-ups attach great importance to this commendation. I heard that Commander Lin personally gave instructions that if we are going to reward someone, we must do so in a way that makes a big impact and sets an example. Our supply department has been preparing for this for a full half month. These things may not be very valuable, but they are complete with food, drink, clothing and other necessities. It is the higher-ups' care and love for you role models!"
If in later generations, having rice, flour, and oil distributed by your work unit in the trunk of your car might win you the favor of your mother-in-law, then in this era, receiving rice, flour, oil, and other groceries would earn you the envy of everyone, including the supply manager in front of you.
If they eat these things sparingly, they can feed Han Dagang and his wife for half a year. What does half a year's worth of food and non-staple foods mean?
In these turbulent times, this is more precious than gold!
If Han Dagang were to exchange these refined grains for coarse grains, and if a relative in the countryside were to suffer a disaster, these grains could save the lives of an entire family!
Captain Qi exclaimed, "What do you call a grand gesture? This is a grand gesture! Good heavens, Da Gang, you're truly amazing! I also need to work hard and strive to become a model employee next year!"
The two walked ahead, with the carriage following behind, attracting countless envious or jealous glances along the way.
In other words, all the thugs in Tianjin, big and small, have been wiped out. If it were the old days, all these things would have been looted long ago.
The commotion caused by the truckload of supplies reached its peak when Han Dagang walked into the back alley of Zizhulin Wharf.
The neighbors were all in an uproar!
Pork! Refined grains! Oil! Salted fish! Fabric!
This level of extravagance is comparable to you in the 1990s when you went back to your hometown to visit relatives and drove back in a Santana sedan.
Although they are neighbors, there are kind-hearted people and bad-hearted people. Captain Qi shouted loudly, "Da Gang has really made something of himself this time! Commander Lin personally met with him and shook hands with him. He will definitely have a bright future in our joint defense team. You will also benefit from this. From now on, our joint defense team will have to take special care of this area. There is no need to worry about public security!"
Upon hearing this, those who had become enraged or even harbored inappropriate thoughts all fell silent.
They're powerful; we can't afford to offend them!
Han Dagang gave Captain Qi a grateful look.
When they arrived home, two young men from the supply department helped unload the goods, and Han Dagang asked his wife to pour tea for the customers.
Da Gang's wife was also stunned, both delighted and surprised, she said: "Da Gang, this is...you didn't do anything..., did you?"
Captain Qi laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, didn't Da Gang go to be a model worker and receive an award today? These were all issued by the higher-ups!"
Da Gang's wife was still incredulous. "My God! How come there's so much stuff?! This, this meat!"
After seeing off the supply department staff, Han Dagang went to the kitchen to get a knife and cut off a long strip of pork belly, about two palm widths wide.
"Captain, if it weren't for your recommendation, I wouldn't be where I am today. Take this meat, it's not for you, but to give the kids some meat."
Captain Qi waved his hand repeatedly, got on his bike and was about to leave, saying, "Da Gang, what are you doing! Do you think I can eat your meat in peace? You go ahead with your work, I'm leaving now."
Da Gang's wife closed the door and refused to let Captain Qi leave.
Han Dagang thought for a moment, then cut off another piece of pork belly. "Here's what we'll do, Captain. Take this one to the team. You can spend some money to buy some cabbage and vermicelli. We'll stew the meat and have dinner together in the team office tonight. Everyone can have a good time. This way, everyone in the team will get some. This meat isn't just for you. How about that?"
Captain Qi hesitated.
While he hesitated, Han Dagang hung two pieces of meat on his handlebars.
"Hey, Da Gang, I admire you from the bottom of my heart. So let's do this: I'll order a few more dishes and a couple of bottles of wine tonight, and we'll have a couple of drinks!"
After he left, Han Dagang said to his wife, "Second sister, I'll cut off another hind leg, and you can take it to our father."
Second Sister's father, who is also Han Dagang's father-in-law, used to sell sorghum rice with his daughter at the dock. Later, Second Sister was harassed, and Han Dagang intervened to help but was thrown into prison. His father-in-law did a lot of work to help her.
"Da Gang, so much meat..."
The second sister was worried that people would gossip, as it was rare for her to bring things back to her parents' home these days.
"Don't worry, just deliver it as I tell you to. Our meat can be given to whomever they want, and no one else can say anything about it!"
"Hey! Da Gang, you're really something, you're really capable!"
Han Dagang smiled with pride and happiness.
