After Commander Fang hung up the phone, he happily hummed the kidnapping opera from his hometown.
The subordinate beside him said worriedly: "Commander, we don't have that much seed jade, and people don't want the ordinary mountain jade."
Commander Fang rolled his eyes at his subordinates:
"Then let's buy up all the seed jade from all the jade mines and jade factories in Hotan. They can't sell it anyway. We can pay them in RMB and then exchange it for US dollars. Do you think this business is viable?"
The subordinate slapped his thigh and said, "Great, Commander, you are really great!"
Commander Fang kicked his subordinate's butt:
"Then go buy it tonight and get the lowest price for me. Also, the mutton-fat jade must be of the best quality. Comrade Chen Xia has done our army a great service, and we can't let him down."
"yes!"
Here, the Hotan Military Sub-district has already started to actively purchase seed-material mutton-fat jade in the Hotan area, and Chen Xia is ready to drive to AKS.
To ensure that the God of Wealth can safely arrive at AKS and then smoothly go to Hotan from AKS.
Captain Su specially arranged for two drivers to take turns driving the entire journey to ensure that Dean Chen was safely delivered to AKS.
In fact, Chen Xia also knew that this was Commander Fang's evil idea. He was afraid that the buyer would change his mind halfway and run back to Yuezhou, so he arranged two soldiers to serve as both bodyguards and escorts.
He got two drivers for free. He was happy to have some free time since he didn't have to drive the 2,000 kilometers round trip.
People who have gone on self-driving tours must know that driving is definitely a hard job, especially long-distance driving of thousands of kilometers, which is really a life worse than death.
After traveling day and night, Chen Xia arrived at the AKS city on the third day.
The address his second uncle left was the local police dormitory. It seemed that after Comrade Chen Bingcheng retired, he went straight into the local public security system. The conditions should not be bad...
To be honest, after traveling for several days and nights, Chen Xia was exhausted. His beard was untidy, and although his clothes and pants were all branded, they were wrinkled and dirty after a few days. He looked very shabby.
Chen Xia took the address and came to a small courtyard. He knocked on the door, and a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old walked out.
"Who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me, is this Comrade Chen Bingcheng's home?"
When the young man heard this, he was immediately shocked: "Are you Brother Xia? I am Chen Jiang."
"Chen Jiang?"
Chen Xia thought for a long time but couldn't remember who it was, but as expected, it should be his second uncle's child, and undoubtedly his cousin.
"Oh, it's Xiao Jiang. Haha, where's your dad?"
"My dad is lying at home, dying. My third uncle just arrived, so please come in."
Speaking of Chen Bingcheng, the young man in front of him quickly became depressed.
Chen Xia was a little surprised. Seeing how happy his cousin was when he saw him and how he called him brother as soon as he opened his mouth, it showed that the child was well-educated and recognized him as his brother. This kind of family affection could not be faked.
But why would such a family not lend a helping hand when their brother's family is in trouble?
Chen Jiang warmly invited Chen Xia into the house, but just as Chen Xia opened the curtain, a sharp female voice suddenly rang out:
"Don't move. Change your shoes immediately. They're filthy as hell. Don't dirty our floors."
After saying that, he threw over a pair of old slippers. These slippers were fixed with several edges, two of which had fallen off.
Chen Xia looked up in surprise and saw that the woman was probably in her 40s, very thin and shrewd, especially her thin lips, which made it obvious that she was not someone to be approached by.
Chen Jiang was very embarrassed standing nearby, and immediately said with a smile: "Xiao Xia, you wear my shoes, they are clean."
"Chen Jiang, what are you doing standing there like an idiot? Your dad wants some water, go get him some."
When the woman saw her son going to get the slippers, she immediately stopped him sternly and sent him away.
Chen Xia understood as soon as he heard it. This snobbish woman must be his second aunt. She was trying to intimidate him.
Chen Xia was reluctant to come to AKS in the first place, and now he was given a cold look as soon as he entered the house. How could he not be angry?
But he didn't show it. After all, the person inside didn't know what was going on. If he really turned back like this, Fourth Grandpa would beat him to death.
"Well, where is Second Uncle?"
There was no room for politeness between the two sides, and they got straight to the point.
"Lie down in the inner room, change your shoes, and go in and see for yourself."
Chen Xia let out a breath and told herself, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. I can handle tens of thousands of people in a minute. I won't argue with this rural woman."
At this time, Chen Jiang was already waving quietly, and Chen Xia entered the room.
There were quite a few people in the room, the most obvious of whom was a dying patient lying on the bed.
Just as Chen Jiang was about to introduce himself, a middle-aged man beside the bed suddenly stood up and asked, "Are you Chen Xia?"
After saying that, he carefully examined his appearance and asked in surprise, "That Laoshan battle hero, is it really you? Oh, I'm your third uncle, and this is your second uncle."
After Chen Bingpei said this, seven or eight people in the room showed the same surprised expression, and even Chen Jiang couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Xiao Xia, are you the Chen Xia who was mentioned in the newspaper as a top hero? The hero who shouted, 'Fire at me?'"
Chen Xia felt extremely embarrassed after hearing this. This "hero" should be put in quotation marks. Now he was always surrounded by people, like a giant panda. He was not used to it at all.
I must buy a mask, a hat, and sunglasses tomorrow, and hire a few security guards to maintain order during the trip.
"Yes, I am that Chen Xia. Let's not talk about other things for now. Second Uncle, how are you?"
Chen Xia also had no intention of being polite to his third uncle. He just wanted to complete the task quickly and return to Yuezhou with the ashes.
The second uncle had obviously heard Chen Xia's voice at this time. He was lying on the bed, skin and bones, but tears were streaming down his face:
"Is it Chen Xia, the second one?"
Everyone quickly made way to let Chen Xia pass. Chen Xia's resume had already been published in the newspaper. He was a national model worker and a first-class meritorious person. In terms of his position, he was still a deputy division-level cadre (no one knew he had been promoted yet).
The key is that he is a big villain. At the critical moment, he dared to shout "Fire at me". More than 2,000 enemy soldiers died in his hands. He is cruel to himself and even crueler to the enemy. Who dares to provoke him easily?
Chen Xia suppressed his disdain and dissatisfaction and said softly, "Second Uncle, I'm here to take you home."
As soon as these words were spoken, both Chen Bingcheng on the hospital bed and Chen Bingpei and Chen Jiang beside him were very moved and burst into tears.
But the door was suddenly opened.
"Chen Xia, let me tell you, my family isn't well off. You'll have to find a hostel to stay in. Also, you'd better go take a shower in a public bathhouse to avoid bringing bacteria or viruses to your second uncle."
Outside the door, Second Aunt's brows were tightly furrowed.
