Chen Xia agreed on the price and did not rush back to AKS.
Firstly, Hong Kong has not yet sent the 350,000 US dollars. In fact, this is Chen Xia's excuse, saying that he is waiting for someone to send the cash.
Otherwise, it would be abnormal for him to carry hundreds of thousands of dollars with him when he came to Xinjiang alone, and he would definitely be suspected by the army.
So he deliberately delayed for a few days, then drove out for a while, and came back to hand the cash to Commander Fang personally.
Looking at the box full of green banknotes, Commander Fang almost cried. He could finally spend the winter in peace this year.
The second reason was that Chen Xia was still waiting for Chen Bingcheng to die. He didn't want to run over now. Was he going to have to pretend to be separated from his loved ones? What a joke!
His main purpose of coming to Xinjiang was to bring back Chen Bingcheng's ashes, but he never thought about forgiving or not forgiving anyone. Chen Xia did not have this right.
If he hadn't been helpless back then, the Chen Xia in front wouldn't have drowned. The current Chen Xia doesn't hold grudges, but the one in front does.
So Chen Xia just lived in the guesthouse of the military sub-district. Now, the officers and soldiers of the Hotan Military Sub-district treated him like a family member and roasted a whole lamb every day.
Since he had nothing to do anyway, Chen Xia, under the guidance of his fellow soldiers, went to the river where the seed material was produced to look for minerals. He also bought a lot of Hami melons by the way. June happened to be the time when early-maturing varieties were ripe.
The Hami melons in XJ are different. They are all naturally ripened, unlike those in mainland China which are artificially ripened. Therefore, they are very sugary and delicious.
Chen Xia drove alone, buying the melons from one melon field to another, and then secretly put them into the space hospital at night, preparing to return to Yuezhou so that he could distribute benefits to the employees of the hospital and pharmaceutical factory during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Look, he is really a good dean of the people. He never forgets the interests of the masses wherever he goes. He is indeed a national model worker.
Commander Fang has gone crazy now. While the God of Wealth is traveling around, he has sent out thousands of soldiers and even transferred the only excavator in the area.
I just want to find more seed materials and make more money.
It's not that Commander Fang is greedy for money, he has no choice. He is really too poor and his life is too difficult. Finally, a fat sheep with plenty of money appears, so of course he has to grab it with all his might.
A week passed like this, and Chen Xia purchased an additional RMB 100,000 worth of seed materials, and news also came from AKS.
Chen Bingcheng is dead.
It’s time for Chen Xia to go and “pick up his second uncle” home.
In this way, a total of 15 large trucks filled with mutton-fat jade marched towards AKS in a mighty manner.
Chen Xia didn't dare to commit suicide under the noses of the army. So many jades disappeared inexplicably. It was okay that the common people were not vigilant, but the army had a reconnaissance company. Who knew if they were keeping an eye on him.
So he asked the Hotan Military Sub-district to help transport all the jade to a desert not far from AKS, and sent them all back on the pretext that someone would come to pick them up.
The sky was vast and the wilderness was boundless. No one could see anything in the endless desert. When it got dark, Chen Xia put all the jade stones into the space hospital and drove his off-road vehicle to his second uncle's house.
Because the weather was too hot, Chen Bingcheng only stayed at home for two days before being cremated.
Originally, burial was popular in AKS, but there was no other way. The body could not be transported back to Yuezhou, a 5,000-kilometer journey. This was not Zhao Benshan filming "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots."
When Chen Xia arrived at his second uncle's house, the white banner was still hanging at the door, and he could hear the quarreling inside from the door.
"You are not allowed to go to Yuezhou. You are my son and you must listen to me. Stay at home obediently. Even if your father agrees, it will be useless."
"Mom, just let me go. When I make a lot of money in the future, I will come back to be filial to you."
"Bullshit, you just believed Chen Xia's nonsense. Didn't you see how tattered he was when he came to our house? He looked so poor and poor. He was barely making ends meet in Yuezhou. How could he possibly take care of you? I think he's just after your father's property. He has bad intentions."
"Mom, what are you talking about? Brother Xia is a war hero. It's all in the newspapers."
"Bah, what's so great about being a soldier? How much money does a hero get in allowance? Your father was a soldier his whole life, and when he retired, he was just a deputy political commissar of the Public Security Bureau. He had no money and no power. How old is Chen Xia? At most, he is just a private."
At this time, a young girl's voice was heard again:
"Brother, you can leave if you want, but you won't be able to take a single cent of what Dad left behind. With your stubborn mind, you'll definitely team up with outsiders to steal our family property."
"Sister, how can you slander Brother Xia like this? He is a first-class meritorious official and a hero of Laoshan."
"What's so great about being a hero? A hero comes to AKS, but you act like a beggar? You can't even afford to stay in a guesthouse, so you followed a few soldiers to Hotan overnight? Oh, and you still want to leave? Maybe everyone has forgotten you."
After listening for a long time, Chen Xia couldn't bear it anymore, so he pushed the door open and walked in.
Second Aunt and cousin looked at him in surprise: "You, you didn't run away."
Chen Jiang was excited, but when he saw Chen Xia come in, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore, obviously feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Well, I came here for two reasons. One is to bring my second uncle's ashes back to Yuezhou to fulfill his wish. Is that okay with you?"
Both women shook their heads.
"The second thing is, I'm going to take Chen Jiang away. Don't worry, Chen Jiang is my cousin and a descendant of our Chen family. I won't let him suffer any injustice. As long as he works hard, I have a way to send him to school in Xiangjiang."
Second Aunt snorted, with a look of "guess whether I believe it or not" on her face:
"Oh, you're going to Xiangjiang? You're so arrogant! Your Chen family has had no promising ancestors for eighteen generations, and you? Do you have the money to send Chen Jiang away?"
Chen Xia didn't want to say anything more to the two women. Instead, he looked at Chen Jiang seriously and asked:
"Chen Jiang, do you believe what I say? If you believe me, come with me today. If you don't believe me, stay. I will take your father's ashes back to Yuezhou today."
"Xiao Xia, I believe you!"
Chen Xia cheered for his cousin in his heart. It turned out that fools have good luck. Just like Gu Lin, he followed the right person.
Chen Zi got anxious when she heard this: "Chen Jiang, if you go to Yuezhou and don't care about me anymore, then we'll separate today. You can't take a penny with you, and I won't need you to take care of me anymore."
Chen Jiang's tears were getting more and more: "Sister, I don't want a penny."
Chen Xia nodded and said, "It's fine to split up the family. My second uncle works at the Public Security Bureau anyway. Let's go to the Household Registration Department now and transfer your household registration to Yuezhou."
Chen Jiang was obviously disappointed with his mother and sister. He had a 10-year-old brother at home, and his mother had a son by her side, so he felt at ease when he left.
