After dinner, Su Yan and Lu Ting invited Ji Lao and Lu Fengnian to the room to discuss, saying that they would donate 500 tons of rice, 500 tons of wheat, 200 tons of cotton, 200 tons of fruit, 100 tons of medicinal materials, 20 tons of tea seed oil, and 20 million in cash to the General Military Region so that the soldiers could have a good Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mr. Ji looked at Su Yan in disbelief. "You said you would donate military supplies and 30 million in cash in the name of the company?"

Su Yan nodded and said, "Well, the 25th of next month is Mid-Autumn Festival, and I think everyone should eat something good."

"Which military region do you want to donate to?"

"Donate it to your general military region, and the other leaders will take care of the arrangements."

At this time, Lu Ting took out the donation receipts from 1976 and said, "These are the donation receipts my wife and I made twelve years ago."

Mr. Ji asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

"My wife and I sold all our family heirlooms, along with our salaries and my wife's royalties... and then we managed to scrape together enough money to buy some supplies."

Mr. Ji asked again: "Where did you buy those supplies?"

"I asked a friend to help me buy it." Lu Ting lied casually.

Mr. Ji handed the donation receipt to Lu Fengnian and said, "Brother Lu, you gave birth to a good son and married a good daughter-in-law."

Although Lu Fengnian found everything unbelievable, he still smiled and nodded in agreement. He did not expect that his son and daughter-in-law had done so many great things quietly.

He suspected that these two people collected antiques and resold various materials during the turbulent period, otherwise how could they have donated so many materials. Although he had doubts in his heart, he would not ask them out loud now.

"Ting'er and Xiaoyan are both good children, especially Xiaoyan. Not only did my son give birth to four children and raise them all to adulthood, but she also led the family in business.

Even after making money, she never forgets the country and the people, and is ready to donate money and materials to the military region. Comrade Su Yan's spirit is worth learning from for every one of us.

As a father-in-law, I feel ashamed that I can’t help at all…”

Lu Fengnian talked a lot, praising Su Yan to the sky. Su Yan smiled and said that she was not doing well enough, and told Ji Lao and Lu Fengnian:

"In fact, I also donated 20 million imported medical equipment to our military hospital some time ago. The money has been deposited into the bank account of the domestic factory, and the military will receive the new medical equipment in two months."

Lu Fengnian and Ji Lao really didn't know what to say. They took the initiative to shake hands with Su Yan. Ji Lao said, "Comrade Su, on behalf of the people's soldiers, I thank you for your consideration for them..."

Mr. Ji held Su Yan's hand and excitedly said a lot. After he finished, Lu Fengnian asked, "Do you want to hold a donation ceremony?"

Su Yan said directly: "Dad, no need, forget about the donation ceremony, we don't want to do those empty things."

Lu Fengnian asked: "Where did you buy those supplies?"

"I've already found the goods. Once the documents come down, I'll bring people to deliver the supplies in person."

"Comrade Su Yan, regarding the donation, I'll have my subordinates hold a meeting to see what they think. If the meeting approves, I'll send you an invitation."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ji!"

Mr. Ji smiled and said, "You are the ones who work hard to make money."

“…”

…

When the Ji family returned, Su Yan gave them a bunch of melons, including a sack of Hami melons, watermelons, and cantaloupes. She also gave them two soft-shelled turtles, half a sheep, and ten kilograms of beef, all of which were sent from Shanghe Village.

A group of young people are celebrating their birthdays tonight. Su Yan has prepared fresh beef and mutton for them, as well as various seafood for barbecue in the evening.

The children had a clear plan for the evening activities, including barbecue, singing and dancing, drinking beer, and finally lighting candles, blowing out cakes and setting off fireworks.

Because they were getting married today, Ji Yanqing took three days off specially. He must accompany his young wife on her wedding day.

Ji Yanqing pulled Lu Yiru and said, "Our mom gave us too much fruit. I have to go and send them back first. Do you want to come with me?"

"No, forget it. All my friends are here and I want to chat with them. Yanqing, do you want to call your good friends over to play with us?"

"Okay, my sister actually wants to come over, can I bring her?"

"Sorry, my mom forgot to invite my sister. Please call her later and ask her to come over after get off work."

"Okay, I'll go first. I'll come back after I send them off."

Mr. Ji actually has a special car to pick him up, but today he asked the driver to take Ji Yanlin and his wife back to the unit first, while he, his wife, son and daughter-in-law went home in Ji Yanqing's car first.

On the way home, Ji Lao suddenly said, "Yan Qing, do you know what your mother-in-law said when she called me over?"

Ji Yanqing thought about it, could it be that his elder brother-in-law joined the Foreign Trade Department and asked his grandfather to greet the leaders who came to visit and ask them to take good care of his elder brother-in-law?

Or is it that the mother-in-law is not very satisfied with him and wants to complain to grandpa?

"Grandpa, I can't guess what you talked about."

"My child, you have found a good marriage. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law are worthy of admiration. They are both good people!"

Ji Huaili and Xu Hui looked puzzled when they heard this. Madam Ji nodded in agreement, "That couple is not only capable, but also very kind. They are rich and powerful but they don't act superior to others. They treat everyone with courtesy.

Yan Qing, you do have good judgment. The Lu family's children are all clear-headed and upright. Their family tradition is good, and there are no quarrels between brothers and sisters. "

Ji Huaili agreed, "That's true. Brothers and sisters should live in harmony."

"Ahem, ahem!" Elder Ji cleared his throat and said, "I was going to say that this wasn't the problem. Comrade Su Yan asked me to come over to discuss donating money and supplies to our general military region's soldiers."

Ji Huaili said excitedly: "Donations of money and supplies? What kind of donations? The army shouldn't accept personal donations, right?"

"She donated 1,000 tons of grain, 200 tons of cotton, 100 tons of medicinal herbs, 200 tons of fruit, 20 tons of oil, and 30 million in cash in the name of the company."

When Xu Hui heard these numbers, she suddenly lost her composure and her voice involuntarily rose two pitches.

"Ah~! So many."

Ji Huaili also asked seriously: "Dad, is my mother-in-law really going to donate money and supplies to the army?"

"Twelve years ago, they donated a lot of supplies to the earthquake-stricken areas. Some time ago, they also donated 20 million worth of medical equipment to the military hospital. Two months later, the medical equipment was shipped back to China.

You know that our country's medical level is not up to par, and those advanced medical equipment are even harder to buy. She asked her friends in Hong Kong to order a batch of medical equipment from Germany.

Xu Hui: "It is said that there is no business without fraud, and the richer the person, the more stingy..."

Before she could finish her words, everyone looked at her. Xu Hui knew that everyone had misunderstood her, so she hurriedly explained, "I was saying that businessmen value profit. I didn't expect my mother-in-law to be so conscious and make money in a proper way, taking from the people and giving back to the people."

Ji Huaili breathed a sigh of relief. If his wife said something nonsense, she would not only offend her father, but also her son. He definitely couldn't criticize people who were doing good things that benefited the country and the people.
