Chen Ming was stunned, and then he saw that behind the Audi there was a military vehicle, and there were several other cars behind it, like they were in a queue.
When a row of cars entered the village, it caused a sensation, and many villagers came along to watch.
While Chen Ming was in a daze, people got out of cars one after another. There were cadre leaders in cadre uniforms, officers in military uniforms, and a TV station media team holding microphones and cameras.
Uncle San and Chen Gensheng were both shocked when they saw such a large group of people coming. They stood up and were at a loss as to what to do.
Chen Ming came to his senses and hurried forward, saluted the leader with gray hair and black-framed glasses and the colonel next to him.
The administrative secretary next to the leader introduced: "You are Comrade Chen Ming, right? This is the city leader Gao Jin, and this is the city military sub-district commander Tang Xiong."
After listening to the secretary's introduction of the two people, Chen Ming almost guessed why this group of people came. He smiled and said, "Hello, leaders."
Gao Jin shook hands with Chen Ming and said with a smile, "You are truly a hero in your youth. I never thought that Comrade Chen Ming could achieve so much and reach such a high level at such a young age. Comrade Tang Xiong and I came here today to announce the good news for you."
After Gao Jin finished speaking, Tang Xiong turned around and shouted, "Take out the things."
Two soldiers were seen carrying out a plaque of "Home of the Second Class Meritorious Serviceman" from the trunk of a car, and then they walked over quickly.
An accompanying cadre took out a red certificate as big as a computer screen from the back seat of the car. The cover of the certificate was engraved with "National Science and Technology Progress Award" in gold font!
Gao Jin smiled and said to Chen Ming:
"Comrade Chen Ming, congratulations. You have made outstanding contributions to both the military and the national satellite navigation field. The National Satellite Research Institute and the National Defense University have jointly decided to award you the National Science and Technology Progress Award. I will present it on your behalf!"
Tang Xiong next to him stepped forward and said with a smile: "The opinions on the information reform measures for the troops you submitted in the army have received a good response in the Jinling Military Region. The Jinling Military Region headquarters contacted me and asked me to award you a second-class military merit on your behalf!"
After the two finished talking, Gao Jin first handed the certificate to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming took it respectfully. Then, Tang Xiong took out a second-class merit medal box, put the second-class merit medal in the box on Chen Ming's chest, and handed a second-class merit medal certificate to Chen Ming.
Chen Ming accepted them one by one and looked at the two certificates in his hand and the second-class medal of honor on his chest.
At this moment, he could only describe his mood as overjoyed! .
Chapter 185: A noble son is born in a poor family, high praise from superiors!
Looking at the two certificates in his hands and the second-class merit shining on his chest, Chen Ming couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
Now I have won the third-class merit and the second-class merit, and I only need one more first-class merit to complete the list.
However, above the first-class merit, there is also the honor of the August 1st Medal.
But obtaining this honor is extremely difficult.
After all, according to word of mouth among the people, the first-class merit can only be obtained by lying down. The implication is that if you want to obtain the first-class merit, you must be prepared to sacrifice at any time.
However, the August 1st Medal of Honor is even higher than the first-class merit, so one can imagine how difficult it is to obtain it.
This is the highest military honor and is awarded only once every five years.
And each time the award is given, everyone has made significant contributions.
For example, military personnel who have made great contributions, established outstanding achievements, and had a far-reaching impact on the whole country and the entire army in safeguarding national security, developing interests, and promoting national defense and military modernization.
In other words, Chen Ming has no way of getting it at the moment.
Although he made great contributions to promoting national defense and military modernization.
But no matter how great his contribution was, it was only for the Jinling Military Region where he was.
Although the Jinling Military Region is large, it is only one of the seven major military regions.
No matter how outstanding Chen Ming's contributions to the Jinling Military Region were, he still could not qualify for the August 1st Medal.
The August 1st Medal can only be obtained if one has a profound impact on the development and construction of the entire Dragon Country Army.
At this moment, Chen Ming couldn't help but think that if he wanted to obtain this honor, he would definitely have to be transferred from the current Jinling Military Region in the future.
Only by being transferred to the General Staff Headquarters or the General Armaments Department, a central unit that leads the entire army, can one be eligible to receive the August 1st Medal.
However, at the moment, the August 1st Medal is still too far away for him. After all, he has not yet obtained the first-class merit. He will think about these things after he obtains the first-class merit.
Set a small goal first and get the first-class merit.
This thought only flashed through Chen Ming's mind. After getting rid of the thought, he quickly smiled and said to Gao Jin and Tang Xiong:
"Thank you both leaders for coming all the way here to announce the good news and present me with the certificate and medal. Please come in and have a seat, drink some tea and some snacks, and take a rest first."
After saying that, he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
This is the head of the Municipal Bureau and the commander of the Municipal Military Sub-district. It is really against the rules for him to come here from so far away and stand outside in the cold wind.
After all, wherever these two leaders go, they are basically guests of honor, but here they can only stand outside the door? Then this major is just a waste of time.
Gao Jin and Tang Xiong looked at each other, smiled and nodded.
Gao Jin smiled and said, "Okay, I just happen to want to have a good chat with Comrade Chen Ming."
Chen Ming040 led the two of them, as well as a group of accompanying personnel, into the house.
At this time, the hall was already filled with chairs, and there was a large box in the middle of the dining table, filled with all kinds of snacks such as melon seeds and candies.
This was what Wang Yan had hurriedly prepared just now.
The noise outside the house naturally alarmed her. After seeing so many leaders coming, she quickly tidied up and put out the chairs and prepared desserts and snacks.
At this moment, she was boiling water and preparing to make a pot of tea.
Otherwise, with so many people coming, we can’t let them not even have a sip of tea.
But before the water boiled, Chen Ming walked in with his leader.
Seeing this scene, she quickly stopped what she was doing, mustered up her courage, and said to the leaders: "The leaders are here, come on, please take a seat."
Gao Jin and Tang Xiong nodded and sat down casually.
Chen Ming also sat next to the two of them and chatted with them.
The entourage were also looking for places to sit down. Only two soldiers stood quietly, holding the plaque of "Home of Second Class Meritorious Service" in their arms.
After seeing the two men's attitude, Chen Ming quickly said, "Comrades, just put the plaque down first and sit down to rest for a while. You must be tired from holding it all the time."
He knew that these plaques were made of solid wood and were very heavy, and ordinary soldiers could not hold them for long.
And judging from the appearance of those two soldiers, they should be civilian personnel, which would be even more unbearable.
After hearing what Chen Ming said, the two soldiers looked at the military sub-district commander Tang Xiong hesitantly.
Tang Xiong also said with a smile: "In that case, then listen to Comrade Chen Ming's advice and let it go."
After hearing this, the two soldiers put down the plaque and found a seat.
Taking advantage of this time, Wang Yan walked to Chen Gensheng who was standing at the door.
Just now when Chen Ming led the leaders into the house, Chen Gensheng and his third uncle Chen Yongchun followed behind at a loss.
Then the two of them stood at the door, not daring to move.
The ten-year-old niece Chen Xueqin was also frightened. She followed the two men but did not dare to enter the house. She followed her big yellow dog and cat outside the house.
The man and the dog cautiously poked their heads out and looked at the people in the room with curiosity.
Wang Yan walked up to Chen Gensheng and whispered to him, "Dad, go to the store and buy some cups. We don't have any cups to make tea at home."
They have tea at home. During the busy farming season, when they went to work in the fields, they liked to bring a pot of tea with them to clear away heat and quench their thirst.
But there is tea, but not enough cups. When we drink tea at home, we basically drink it from bowls. Even when relatives and friends come to visit, we receive them with bowls of water.
After all, the people who came and went were all villagers, and it wasn't a formal occasion, so they were used to drinking water from bowls.
But it’s no longer possible now. Those who came are all big leaders, and some are even more powerful than those who came from the county before.
Using bowls to entertain guests is inappropriate no matter how you look at it.
After hearing this, Chen Gensheng turned around and went to buy it.
However, Gao Jin, who had sharp ears, heard their conversation and hurriedly stopped them, saying, "Don't bother. Just give us what you usually use."
Wang Yan hurriedly shook her head and said, "You are a big leader from above, how can you use the same one as us? Wait a moment, we will go buy new ones."
After saying that, Wang Yan was about to go out.
Gao Jin shouted again: "After entering your house, we are just guests who come to visit, ordinary people, please don't treat us as leaders."
After he entered the door just now, he took a rough look at the environment of Chen Ming's home.
Although the newly painted house gives people a brand new feeling.
But if you look closely at these old furniture, you can still see that Chen Ming's family environment is actually not that good.
They came here to report the good news, but they didn't want them to start a war over them.
Seeing Gao Jin's repeated refusal, Wang Yan gave up and could only awkwardly place a bowl for each visitor and pour a bowl of hot tea for everyone.
After pouring the tea, Wang Yan put down the teapot and continued to retreat to the door, standing quietly with Chen Gensheng, Chen Yongchun and others. She didn't dare to speak, her face full of nervousness and anxiety.
When Ji Hua from the Armed Forces Department came before, Chen Gensheng and his wife were so scared that they didn’t dare to respond.
However, the leaders who came now were obviously of higher rank than Ji Hua, and there were more people coming. The two thought that it would be better for Chen Ming to receive them alone.
He was afraid that he might say something wrong and it would have an impact on Chen Ming or make his leader unhappy.
Uncle Chen Yongchun was even more panicked at this time. He thought, if I had known, I would have sent the meat later. Now I have to meet so many leaders. I am so nervous!
The little niece Chen Xueqin looked at her grandfather and her second grandfather and second grandmother, who were standing there as if they were being punished, and her face was filled with curiosity.
Then he pointed at the big yellow dog's head, put on a stern face, and said to the big yellow dog in a serious voice:
