Chapter 181 Shocking Asset Reporting
Guo Caifeng choked up. Her son was a regimental commander, and she was old. Since she came to the compound at the end of last year, she had never heard anyone speak to her like that.
She spent the first half of her life in the countryside, working in the fields or doing odd jobs for the production brigade every day. The only thing she could be proud of was raising a good son.
Now that her son is a high-ranking officer in the military, she followed him to Amutu. From the countryside to the city, she has moved into such a nice house.
Guo Caifeng felt that she was no longer the old rural woman she used to be.
She didn't care about anyone except those with higher official positions than her son.
"You...you really have a sharp tongue, girl. Be careful your baby doesn't have mouth sores after it's born," Guo Caifeng said irritably.
"Whether my child gets sores or not is none of your business. Just mind your own business. What clothes I wear is none of your concern."
As soon as they arrived at the compound, they adopted the attitude of an elder to lecture her, as if they were made of clay.
"Hey! Qiao An, how can you talk like that? Aunt Guo is only doing this for your own good, afraid you'll make a mistake."
Shi Man stepped forward, seemingly trying to mediate, but actually referring to Qiao An.
"What mistake? Wearing a skirt is a mistake?"
Shi Man explained, "Hey, look around, these are all soldiers. If you walk around in a skirt, those young men are bound to have some ideas, don't you think?"
"Bullshit! What do you take soldiers for? Sex-crazed, lewd bastards?"
"You people have dirty hearts, and everything you see is dirty. If wearing a skirt can seduce our soldiers, then all those years of service have been for nothing."
Qiao An couldn't be bothered with people whose minds were only focused on men and women.
She opened the car door and got into the driver's seat.
Shi Man and the other two watched as Qiao An skillfully fastened her seatbelt, inserted the key, and started the car.
"She can drive?"
"Whose car is this? I saw Commander Huo drive it back yesterday."
Guo Caifeng glared at the back of Qiao An's head. "Hmph! Are you sure you're not misusing a company vehicle? So what if she's pregnant? Everyone's been pregnant before!"
"Commander Huo broke the rules for his wife, and when I got back, I had to give the political commissar a good talking to."
"That's right, besides, we don't even know if the child in her belly is Commander Huo's."
At this point, they smiled at each other and carried their basins to the public water pool.
Qiao An drove to the garrison and learned that to report personal assets of military personnel, one had to go to the political department.
She drove to the political department, following the directions given by the young soldier.
"Isn't that Commander Huo's wife?"
"Yes, I helped you move yesterday. Your sister-in-law is so kind; she even gave us meat pies and steamed buns."
"She can drive? This is the first time I've ever seen a woman drive."
"It was probably taught by Commander Huo."
After parking the car, Qiao An went straight to the political department office.
This is a row of small bungalows, most of which have their doors open.
Many people looked at her as she passed by these offices.
Political Department Director Xu Guangping was processing documents when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Enter."
"Hello, I am Qiao An, wife of Huo Jiyun, commander of the Fourth Regiment. I'm here to report my personal assets with you while I'm in the military."
Xu Guangping looked up and saw a young pregnant woman standing in front of the table wearing a loose red and white checkered dress.
He has striking features, a refined appearance, and speaks clearly and concisely.
"Oh! You must be Huo Jiyun's wife."
"Please sit down."
Xu Guangping carefully examined Qiao An.
This is a military dependent who was personally supervised by Commander Wu to complete the procedures for accompanying the soldier.
Thinking of this, Xu Guangping specially brewed a cup of tea for Qiao An.
"Reporting assets is really not a big deal, there's no need to rush."
Qiao An took a sip of tea. "It's better to report it sooner rather than later. After all, Ji Yun is a cadre."
Xu Guangping nodded in approval, "Your understanding is truly profound."
As he spoke, he opened his notebook, ready to take notes.
"Go ahead and say it."
"One Dong'an brand Jeep."
"Wh...what?" Xu Guangping was about to put down his pen when he was startled by Qiao An.
"A car? Yours personally?"
Qiao An thought for a moment, "It's considered personal, but the vehicle belongs to the Jinshui Town Machine Tool Factory in Wanzhou County, Zhongchuan Province. However, this vehicle was personally approved and given to me by Vice Governor Xu of Zhongchuan Province."
She added, "I'll leave you the phone number of the Jinshui Town Machine Tool Factory later. You can verify it at any time, or you can directly call the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and ask Vice Governor Xu to verify it."
Xu Guangping's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.
He has documented the personal asset reports of so many military dependents.
Most of them consisted of tables, chairs, benches, and wooden boxes.
Or pots, pans, and bowls.
At most, it would be a watch or a few feet of valuable fabric.
Why is it that when we arrived at Qiao An's place, a small Jeep came up first?
"Director Xu, don't you need to take notes?" Qiao An looked at Xu Guangping curiously.
"Oh, right, go on."
Xu Guangping quickly wrote down "One Dong'an brand Jeep".
"A skillful sewing machine."
Xu Guangping calmed down and found that the car and sewing machine were both working properly.
Two Phoenix bicycles.
"There were twelve elmwood chests, ten sets of quilts, and about fifty or sixty sets of clothes, but I really can't remember."
"Twenty catties of fish maw, ten catties of dried abalone, fifteen catties of dried sea cucumber, ten catties of dried scallops, ten catties of dried oysters, ten catties of dried squid..."
"Ten catties of dried tangerine peel, five catties of dendrobium, five catties of codonopsis, five catties of polygonatum..."
"Twenty catties of dried lychees, fifteen catties of dried lemons, ten catties of dried chayote, ten catties of kudzu root..."
"Fifty catties of wheat flour, one hundred catties of rice, fifty catties of cured meat, fifty catties of freeze-dried vegetables..."
Xu Guangping's face grew paler and paler, and sweat beaded on his forehead.
The previous page of his notebook was already full, so he turned to the next page and continued writing on the back.
Qiao An told them everything she could think of, so that they wouldn't be envious of others when they ate delicious food at home, and then cause trouble in the army.
After talking for nearly fifteen minutes, Qiao An felt that it was about time.
That's all.
Xu Guangping wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He was from Haidong Province and had lived in a coastal city since childhood, so he had seen most of the dried goods that Qiao An mentioned.
However, rare dried goods such as fish maw, dried sea cucumber, and dried abalone are very expensive.
His monthly salary couldn't even buy a pound of it.
Where did Joan get so much money?
Xu Guangping hesitated for a few seconds, then decided that this matter needed to be clarified.
The sources of income for military dependents must also be reported.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong later, their political department will be held responsible.
"Comrade Qiao An, I have recorded your military assets, but your personal income must be clearly stated."
"Otherwise, if someone investigates later, it will cause big trouble."
When Qiao An arrived, she knew that her income was transparent and there was nothing to hide.
My personal income mainly comes from four sources.
"First, I have contracted two stalls in the canteen of the Jinshui Town Machine Tool Factory. One sells pies, buns, and dumplings, and the other sells braised noodles. My monthly income is conservatively estimated to be around one thousand yuan. You can call the Jinshui Town Machine Tool Factory to verify this income."
Xu Guangping: "..."
