Vice Captain Guo Jihou was sitting at his desk drinking water when a " report " came from outside the door. He looked up and said,"Come in."”
The door opened, and the soldier who came in was Li Zhongkui, the 25th Cannon Gunner. He was from a rural village in Kaiyuan, Liaoning Province. He was of medium height and had a black face. He was usually quiet, and only his two big eyes showed his kindness and calmness from time to time.
He entered the room, raised his hand to salute the vice-captain, and sat on a hard bench beside the door.
"Is there something you need?" the co-captain said.
"It's nothing serious. Yesterday, a bank member came to the boat to mobilize everyone's savings. On the one hand, it's to support the country's construction, and on the other hand, it's to help the soldiers manage their money to prevent problems from occurring. We have a monthly allowance, and most people can't spend it. They were all in the hands of one person and were easy to lose. Losing money would make one angry and affect one's studies and training. Suspicion also affected camaraderie. When I was in the training group, a soldier from the Dalian of China lost ten yuan and suspected that Zhao Yingwu from the University of Shanghai had stolen it. Zhao Yingwu did not admit it, but he could not clear his name. He was in a bad mood and could not do his job no matter how hard he tried. He was discharged before his military service expired. A few years later, the person who committed the crime again confessed that he was the one who committed the Zhao Yingwu case. Zhao Yingwu was wronged.
The money in the hands of us warriors is the easiest to lose. He could make a small deposit and a lump-sum withdrawal and keep it in one place. At the end of the year, it would accumulate a large sum of money. Supporting the country's construction and getting interest, there are only benefits and no disadvantages."
Vice-Captain Guo understood immediately. This was indeed a good thing. However, all the soldiers on the ship had their money gathered together, and each person had their own account book. They needed a good person to manage them. This person had a good eye for accounts and was able to handle the money. More importantly, he had the heart to serve the soldiers. He went to the bank every month and often checked the accounts, which was very troublesome. Hence, he said,
"It's quite troublesome. Can you do it?”
"It's nothing troublesome. I just have to sort out my personal account and fill out my savings card.”。
Seeing that Li Zhongkui was full of confidence, the vice-captain said,""If that's the case, you can just try it. Anyway, make sure the card is clear. Don't fill in Zhang San's card for Li Si.”
"Don't worry, I won't.”
From then on, Li Zhongkui became the president of a small bank on the boat. He took out more than forty savings cards from the savings office and filled them up one by one. The lowest was 5 yuan, the highest was 10 yuan and 8 yuan, and the highest was tens of yuan and hundreds of yuan. Some soldiers came from wealthy families and brought a lot of money with them when they joined the army. Their families did not want the allowance, so they had a lot of money on hand.
Li Zhongkui went to the bank every month to make deposits for everyone.
With Ah Hui's savings account, her money gradually increased. In less than half a year, she had more than 30 yuan.
Li Zhongkui was gradually managing more money. Later, Bing Lian Cheng became his assistant. One day, the two of them went to the bank to make a deposit. On the way, they passed by a scrap collection station. The boss was collecting scrap, old rope, and scrap iron. Bing Liancheng said," Look, we collect waste here. The dock is full of scrap iron and waste materials. No one cares about them and no one wants them. Why don't we clean them up and sell them?”
"I saw it a long time ago, but I couldn't understand why no one cared about so many things. Why didn't the scavengers pick them up? If we want to clean up, will anyone care?”Li Zhongkui said as he looked at Bing Liancheng.
Bing Liancheng slowly moved his two long legs as he pondered over Li Zhongkui's question. He said,""Those junk were thrown down from the ship. The production tasks on the ship are tight, and there are many jobs. Who cares about those things? A rag-picker was a good thing, but the military dock had a closed door. Who could come in? Therefore, the accumulation of these herbs increased over time.”
"That makes sense, that makes sense. "The people inside didn't take it seriously, and the people outside couldn't come in," Li Zhongkui praised.
"So, we live on the dock every day. We can pick it up. It's prepared for us.”Bing Lian Cheng said happily.
"Don't be too happy. If you don't do it, no one will care. If you really do it, someone might come out and care. He doesn't want you to take advantage of him.”
Bing Lian Cheng was stumped by the question again. He had an idea and thought, such a good thing, there might be people who are jealous and won't let us clean up. It might not be easy to sell everything smoothly. What should he do? He thought for a moment and said,
"There is a way. Let's do something to rectify the environment of the camp and clean up the dock. They organized a group of people, put on their duty armbands, and cleaned up the dock with great fanfare. For the sake of the cleanliness of the military camp, who would dare to stop them?”
"That's a good idea. Li Zhongkui smiled and said, We'll need Sergeant Major's support. We'll discuss it with Sergeant Major Guan when we get back." After talking to Sergeant Guan, the sergeant was very supportive. He said," I've long seen that the dock is a mess. It's necessary to clean up the place and make it clean. It's what we should do."
After breakfast the next day, Sergeant Guan personally organized the firearms department to clean up the dock. Sun Dechun, Zhang Guisan, and the soldiers swept the dock with big brooms. Li Zhongkui and Bing Liancheng led a group of people to clean up the junk. They even borrowed a car from the dock repair shop. Truckloads of scrap iron and old hemp ropes were pushed to the junkyard. Ahui and Zhu Xigui led a few soldiers to wear red armbands and patrol the dock.
Someone on the dock asked," What are these soldiers doing?" The soldier with the armband said," The higher-ups are here to check. Tell them to clean up the well area." That person said," It's a little messy. It needs to be cleaned up."
The dock was finally cleaned up and sold for more than 1,000 yuan. Li Zhongkui and Bing Liancheng entered the captain's room with a smile. The vice-captain Guo Jihou was reading the newspaper on the table. Li Zhongkui said,
" Vice Captain, we have money."
Vice Captain Guo Jihou was stunned.”
"We cleaned up the dock and sold some of the junk for more than 1,000 yuan.”As Li Zhongkui spoke, he took out the money from his pocket and held it in his hand.
"Good, good, it's good that you have money. This money will be used by the soldiers 'committee and the regimental branch to buy things that everyone needs in their game life.”
Li Zhongkui smiled and said to Bing Liancheng," Did you hear that? The captain told us to take care of the flowers ourselves. Then in the afternoon, we'll study and buy some exercise equipment as soon as possible so that everyone's lives will be more enriched."”
Sure enough, in the next few days, they bought poker, Chinese chess, military chess, checkers, krongs, speakers, and a recorder. Li Zhongkui even suggested buying a set of hairdressing tools. He volunteered as a hairdresser. He would cut the hair of anyone who had long hair. Sometimes, even if he didn't have the time, others would still cut their hair. Anyway, soldiers didn't want to be good. It was fine as long as their hair was cut. Many people had learned how to cut each other's hair. Even Ah Hui had learned how to cut each other's hair. Electromechanical soldier Song Yunsheng and Fu Chang had even let Ah Hui cut her hair. Anyway, from now on, he didn't have to go out to get a haircut on the boat. It was really convenient.
