Chapter 247 Cleaning the Tanks (1)

Qian Jingdong came by car, so Song Cenyue did not drive her car. Instead, she took Qian Jingdong's car to the military sub-district in the city. The tank is now kept in the military sub-district.

Although the military sub-district did not have a garage specifically built to park tanks, it still cleared out a small garage to park tanks.

When Song Cenyue saw the tank, she frowned. The tank had not been cleaned yet, there was a lot of dust on it, and it was badly rusted. The worst thing was that one-third of the parts were missing, it looked very "bad", and it was completely scrap just by looking at it.

But it is still too early to conclude whether it is real waste.

The key is to see what instruments and systems are left in the remaining front half of the tank, whether they can still be used, and what is missing.

"How is it?" Qian Jingdong asked.

"It looks terrible, but we have to check how bad it is to know..." Song Cenyue answered and then asked: "Have you asked someone to check this tank before? Do you know what instruments and systems are left inside?

"I wanted to find someone to check it, but we couldn't find anyone in our military sub-district who could repair tanks, so there was no way to check it. We don't know what instruments and systems are left inside. I have to trouble you to check it now." Qian Jingdong shook his head.

"Okay, I'll check it right away...but I have to clean this tank first. The outside is so dirty, the inside must be dirty too, so I can't check it properly." Song Cenyue nodded.

"I'll ask someone to clean it up right away..." Qian Jingdong said hurriedly, but he didn't expect Song Cenyue to shake her head and refuse.

"No need to call anyone, I can clean it up myself."

Qian Jingdong was a little surprised and raised his eyebrows. "You clean it yourself? It will be very difficult to clean the tank in this state, and it will take a lot of time. It will be very hard for you to clean it. I'd better call a few soldiers to clean it."

"I'm afraid that others who come to clean it may not be familiar with the tank and may not clean it properly. They may accidentally make the tank worse while cleaning, which will increase the difficulty of my repair... The tank is now more fragile than glass." Song Cenyue said.

Hearing this, Qian Jingdong didn't dare to ask others to clean up.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you... Do you want my help? I can help you clean up." He wanted to help.

He always felt that Song Cenyue was working too hard to clean up by herself.

"No, I can do it alone. It just takes more time, but I have plenty of time now, so it's okay." Song Cenyue shook her head and smiled.

In fact, it would be nice to have someone help with the cleaning, as it would reduce her burden, but Qian Jingdong didn't know much about tanks, and she was afraid that he would accidentally break something while helping with the cleaning.

"Then tell me what cleaning tools you need and I'll ask someone to get them for you." Qian Jingdong said.

After Song Cenyue said "hmm", she told Qian Jingdong what cleaning tools were needed. They were all very common cleaning tools, nothing uncommon or hard to find. Qian Jingdong immediately ordered his soldiers to get them.

Three minutes later, all the cleaning tools Song Cenyue wanted appeared in front of her, and she began to clean the tank.

Because the tank was very dirty, Song Cenyue cleaned it very carefully, so her speed was naturally slow. It was not until the evening that she finished cleaning the outside.

"Sister-in-law, are you hungry? It's already ten minutes past five, it's time for dinner, wash your hands and let's go eat." Qian Jingdong said. "You've been cleaning for so long, it's time to take a break."

"I'm not hungry, nor do I feel tired. I don't need to eat dinner or rest yet. I can still continue cleaning. You don't have to worry about me. Go eat first." Song Cenyue shook her head and smiled.

"You don't even go to eat, how can I leave you alone to eat? We should go together." Qian Jingdong shook his head to refuse.

"You really don't need to worry about me..."

"How can we just ignore it..."

Song Cenyue was helpless, "Then let's go eat together in an hour."

"Okay." Qian Jingdong smiled.

Song Cenyue continued to clean, and Qian Jingdong continued to accompany her and watch her clean.

The outside of the tank has been cleaned, and Song Cenyue began to clean the inside. The inside is much more difficult to clean than the outside because there are many instruments and systems inside, and one has to be extremely careful. Cleaning is much slower than cleaning the outside.

After an hour, Song Cenyue still hadn't cleared much, but she was not in a hurry. This kind of work requires patience.

"It's been an hour, sister-in-law, let's go have dinner, and you can take a rest." Qian Jingdong looked at the watch on his wrist and called to Song Cenyue.

Song Cenyue was a little hungry at this time, so she nodded and agreed. After washing her hands with the remaining water in the bucket, she followed Qian Jingdong out of the garage.

"Sister-in-law, the cafeteria should be very crowded at this time, and the food in the cafeteria doesn't taste as good as in the restaurant. Let's go to the restaurant to eat." Qian Jingdong said as he walked.

"Restaurant? Is it the restaurant inside the military sub-district or outside?" Song Cenyue asked curiously.

"It's the restaurant of the military sub-district, but it's not considered internal because it's also open to the public." Qian Jingdong brought Song Cenyue to his car, opened the door, and invited Song Cenyue to get in.

After Song Cenyue sat in the passenger seat, she asked curiously, "Why is the restaurant in your military sub-district open to the public? I thought it was only open to internal staff."

"Isn't this to make some money for the military sub-district? Our military sub-district is not as big as Lao Fu's, and the money allocated to us every year is not as much as Lao Fu's, but our commander wants to do a lot of things, such as adding a shooting range, buying cars, etc.

He thought of several businesses to make money, one of which was to open the restaurant of the military sub-district to the public, and earn as much subsidy as possible. The restaurant's business is pretty good, and many people come to eat!" Qian Jingdong said with a smile as he started the car.

"So that's how it is!" Song Cenyue thought to herself that Qian Jingdong's boss, the commander, had a hard time too.

At that time, the country was relatively poor. Although the army was given priority and everything was supplied to the army, the army was very large. At that time, the total number of troops in the country added up to several million.

There are a lot of military sub-districts across the country, both large and small. It is certainly not possible for all military sub-districts to receive the same treatment. Some can get more funding, vehicles, and weapons, while others can get less. This is unavoidable.

"Is the restaurant in your military sub-district far away?" Song Cenyue asked.

"It's not far. It's only a two-minute drive from the military sub-district. It's right near the military sub-district. All the land near the military sub-district belongs to the military sub-district, including storefronts and houses. This restaurant is located in the storefront of the military sub-district." Qian Jingdong replied.

After the two chatted for a while, Qian Jingdong had already left the military sub-district. As he said, he opened two sub-districts and arrived at the restaurant.

After Qian Jingdong parked the car, he and Song Cenyue got out and entered the restaurant. Song Cenyue found that the restaurant was quite large. Because it was dinner time, there were quite a few people eating inside. There were some soldiers judging by their clothes, but there were more ordinary people. However, there were still several empty tables and places to sit down and eat.

Qian Jingdong and Song Cenyue were both handsome and beautiful, very eye-catching, and soon attracted the attention of the guests in the restaurant. The soldiers in the restaurant all recognized Qian Jingdong and greeted him.

"Hello, Chief of Staff Qian!"

"Hello, Chief of Staff Qian..."

"Chief of Staff Qian, come and have dinner too!"

Those who greeted him noticed the presence of Song Cenyue who was following Qian Jingdong, and were extremely curious about her identity. Just as someone was about to ask, a voice rang out...

"Chief of Staff Qian, I was wondering if you would come over for dinner today. I didn't expect you to come. The fish we caught today is very fresh. I'll ask someone to cook it for you right away." A gray-haired old man walked towards Qian Jingdong with a warm smile on his face.

"Hey, who is this young comrade? She's so pretty. Could she be your girlfriend, Chief of Staff Qian?" The old man noticed Song Cenyue following behind Qian Jingdong, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he smiled with squinted eyes.

"Old Zhong, don't talk nonsense. This is my sister-in-law, and she's the girlfriend of my good brother." Qian Jingdong frowned.

Those who were curious about Song Cenyue's identity knew the answer. Some of them thought that they had previously suspected whether this extremely beautiful girl was Chief of Staff Qian's girlfriend, but fortunately they did not ask, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

The old man was very embarrassed and quickly apologized: "Sorry, sorry, I didn't know, I said something wrong... Chief of Staff Qian, and this young comrade, please forgive me and don't bother with an old man like me."

"It's okay." Song Cenyue shook her head gently.

"Sister-in-law, this Old Zhong is the director of this restaurant." Qian Jingdong pointed at the old man and introduced him to Song Cenyue.

"Lao Zhong, my sister-in-law is a distinguished guest whom I specially invited to repair the tank. You must treat her well and don't neglect her." Qian Jingdong then said to Lao Zhong.

"This young comrade can repair tanks?!" Old Zhong was shocked.

The news that a soldier discovered a tank and dug out the tank caused quite a stir and had spread throughout the entire military sub-district, so just everyone in the military sub-district knew about it. Therefore, the old man would be very shocked, not because of the tank, but because he was shocked that Song Cenyue could repair the tank.

The other people in the restaurant were also shocked. They all showed an expression of disbelief, staring at Song Cenyue carefully and whispering. Most of them said that no matter how they looked at Song Cenyue, he didn't look like someone who could repair tanks. It really was true that one cannot judge a person by his appearance. Song Cenyue was truly amazing.

"Lao Zhong, I'm bringing my sister-in-law to have dinner with me and I'll serve all the delicious food you have here." Qian Jingdong said to Lao Zhong.

"Okay, no problem." Old Zhong finally came back to his senses from the huge shock, agreed with a smile, then took Qian Jingdong and Song Cenyue to an empty table and sat down. After pouring them two cups of tea, he went to the kitchen to order food for Qian Jingdong and the others.

"Sister-in-law, have some tea." Qian Jingdong pointed at Song Cenyue's teacup, then picked up the cup in front of him and started drinking tea.

At this time, Song Cenyue was not only a little hungry, but also a little thirsty, so she picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

The tea is average, and the tea water is just average, but not unpalatable and not hot. It's just the right temperature. It quenches thirst and refreshes the mind. It's pretty good.

After Qian Jingdong and Song Cenyue finished half a cup of tea, Lao Zhong came back and the food was served.

The meal was very rich, with a total of ten dishes. Each dish was delicious and appetizing, but Song Cenyue felt a little pressured.

"There are so many dishes, how can the two of us finish them?" Song Cenyue said to Qian Jingdong.

"It's okay, take your time to eat, and I'll take care of the rest." Qian Jingdong said with a smile, looking unimpressed. "It's not like you haven't eaten with us before, and you've seen how much we soldiers can eat."

Hearing this, Song Cenyue instantly remembered how much Qian Jingdong, his girlfriend, and Lu Junzhe could eat, and she felt relieved instantly.

"You two take your time eating. I have something else to do here, so I'll go get busy first." Old Zhong said to Qian Jingdong and Song Cenyue.

Qian Jingdong and Song Cenyue nodded, and after Lao Zhong and the waiter who served the food left, they started eating.
