It took almost a week to see Director Huang in the office.

Director Huang is a veteran who enlisted in the army for the second time.

The 41-year-old enlisted in the army from the neighboring Zhuxi Township when he was young, and after being discharged from the army, he was arranged to work in the Public Security Bureau, and worked in the Daxu and Xize police stations for many years.

His hometown is at the back of a hill in Tang'ao Village, opposite our house, where his wife and two sons, who are elementary school teachers, still live.

As soon as Director Huang returned to the office, it seemed that the entire institute began to revolve around him.

There were meetings all morning, and no one went to the countryside.

In the morning, Qian Fagen bought the day's dishes, and I checked the amount of each dish with a scale, and signed it in the witness column of a note he wrote.

Near noon, Zhang Guoxing, who was cooking rice, washed vegetables and cooked.

The tiger stove used for cooking is taller than the earthen stove at home.

First of all, the coal must be ignited with firewood, and the air tension between the overhead part under the firewood and the coal and the tall smoke window is used to make the coal burn continuously.

Coal should also be added at the right time during the cooking process.

The coal also has to be wet with water, and I still don't know why.

After the first round of cooking, the rice and water should be mixed well, and the small iron door at the opening of the stove that controls the fire head should be opened at the same time, so that the stove fire can be weakened a little and the rice at the bottom of the pot will be coke.

In the afternoon, a meeting of the whole staff was held.

Director Huang conveyed the spirit of the meeting he had just returned from the detachment.

Some time ago, the Ministry of Public Security held a national on-site meeting on border defense work in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang Province, to exchange work experience over the past two years of readjustment of the border defense system and to standardize the operational work related to border management.

At the same time, the area of responsibility and the management force after the new comrades joined the new comrades were further clarified.

The whole firm was divided into 4 responsibility groups and 1 ship group, and I succeeded Qian Fagen as a supply officer.

After the meeting, we all worked separately.

I followed Qian Fagen to his office, thinking "I'm going to have my own office" as I walked.

Qian Fagen's office has a small bed, and next to it is a desk with two rows of small drawers like the director. It is different from the simple desk used by the soldiers, which is a bit like a student's desk.

There is also a row of cupboards attached to the desk.

There is also a low cabinet and a safe on the other wall.

"I'll take you to buy a day's worth of vegetables tomorrow, and then you go to Dancheng and Nishizawa to improve the supply relationship between the few of you."

Then he told me a lot of knowledge about logistics support, including how to report invoices, make vouchers, how to report accounts, how to control the purchase quantity of rice, rape and coal according to food standards, and how to adjust the daily meal matching...

"I'll help you!"

"Take your time, don't rush, go play basketball first."

Let's move on to the basketball court.

Seeing that we were playing ball, everyone came to play one after another.

When everyone was almost ready, Qiu Shiliang volunteered to be a referee, and a team of 5 recruits and veterans played a game.

Director Huang and Director Xu first looked at the second floor for a while, and then went down to the edge of the court and pointed out from time to time.

Seeing that we were a lot behind, Officer Xu also replaced me for the second half.

Early the next morning, Qian Fagen and I didn't go out for morning exercises with everyone, but went to the Qiancang vegetable market to buy vegetables.

After breakfast, I drove to Dancheng, and according to the route told me by Qian Fagen, I found the office of Assistant Ding of the Border Defense Brigade in the courtyard of the county public security bureau relatively smoothly.

Assistant Ding is Comrade Ding, who is in charge of the preparation for the construction of our police station, a native of Fenghua, and has the same experience as Secretary Xu, and is a very good person.

He prepared a list for me that needed to be issued to the food department, and gave me a clear explanation, and he called two people's meals from the canteen of the Public Security Bureau.

I'm going to pay him for a good meal. He said: "I treat the people in the money warehouse as if they were my own family, and you are not welcome. ”

I finally understood the closeness of the local people and veterans when they talked about "Ding Guofang" or "Comrade Ding".

At around 3 p.m., I took the bus to the Nishizawa police station. At that time, Nishizawa was the ferry port that crossed Xiangshan Port to Ningbo by boat. The police station is near the ferry.

I found Shu Lifu, the caretaker in the institute, who was Qian Fagen's fellow countryman and high school classmate, and took the note that Qian Fagen asked me to give him, and he immediately contacted the three-wheeled motorcycle in the institute and accompanied me to the Daxu Grain Management Center in Xianqi Town.

He was very familiar with the clerk in the office and handled all the formalities for me directly.

Finally, I was handed a food supply card, a certain number of national food stamps and local food stamps in Zhejiang Province.

When I returned to the office, I met our fellow soldiers Li Jie and Shan Guohua, although they had only been separated for 10 days, they were very surprised.

At dinner, their director Shu Xingyuan and the director Sheng Kaifa came to the table to say hello.

Later, I learned that our Qiancang Institute and Nishizawa Institute are a party branch, and from the perspective of the party organization, we are a unit.
