The man, Zhou Yi, was highly skilled; he won over the two elders with his descriptions of daily life in the military camp.
After the meal, he kept telling Chen Hong, "Chen Hong, treat Zhou Yi well. Being a soldier is really not easy!"
They brave water and fire, all to protect us ordinary people. If it weren't for these soldiers who always stand in our way, we wouldn't have such peaceful and happy days!
We should be grateful and take good care of him!
Chen Hong thought to herself: Anyone who didn't know better would think you were Zhou Yi's father!
Didn't you keep saying you were testing him? If he's not a good person, you wouldn't let her accept him, and she betrayed you before even finishing a meal!
This person is already a people's guardian and a combat hero in your hearts. Luckily, Zhou Yi is good-looking and you've fallen for him.
Otherwise, the two old men would have to treat facilitating this marriage as a glorious political mission!
The status of soldiers in the hearts of ordinary people should not be underestimated, especially for those born before the 1970s. For them, the military profession is lofty and sacred.
Chen Hong also admitted that soldiers in the early days of the army risked their lives and never cared about personal gains or losses.
They implemented the military discipline of not taking a single needle or thread from the masses with exceptional thoroughness.
The leaders at that time were decisive and strict in enforcing the law; even embezzling a few hundred dollars could result in execution.
But they never imagined that the military's top corrupt officials in the new century could embezzle tens or even hundreds of billions of yuan. It's unimaginable how much money that is; piled up, it could bury these corrupt officials alive.
Chen Hong couldn't understand why people at their level, whose every need for food, drink, and shelter was taken care of by the state, would still embezzle so much money.
They dared not spend openly, and lived in constant fear that their misdeeds would be exposed one day, causing them sleepless nights. Weren't they afraid of the stress that could lead to sudden death?
(Of course, dying suddenly would be too easy for them!)
Now Zhou Yi has two old fans in the village. Before they left, the two old men invited him to their house for drinks the next day, and then they would talk about things in the army. They hadn't heard enough!
Chen Hong was both amused and exasperated, and offered to take the two elderly people home. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yi and Yu Yang volunteered for the task, grabbing flashlights and helping the two elderly people away.
Chen Hong was at home washing dishes, cleaning, and doing chores. After finishing her chores, she fed Black Tiger and Glasses.
Seeing that I had nothing to do, I went to the study, turned on the computer, and went online to check the stock market.
The current stock market is stagnant, with the screen filled with green (indicating losses), and some stocks haven't even hit their daily limit down yet.
Chen Hong decided that she should look for opportune moments to trade in and out of the stock market a few more times in the future. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to explain the source of her huge sums of money obtained through illegal fishing.
The only legitimate way to reasonably explain the source of these enormous assets is through the unpredictable nature of stock trading.
After studying the stocks for a while, Chen Hong went online to check the weather forecast for the past week.
After Zhou Yi leaves, she should also take another trip to the open sea; she already misses the bluefin tuna off the coast of Japan.
Zhang Baiqiang told them today that all their branches are in dire need of tuna and high-end seafood.
With more money in hand, there were also more things to do. Before and after the New Year, taking advantage of good opportunities, she was busy running around buying properties everywhere, and she has become a bit lazy about fishing at sea this year.
In fact, with the wealth Chen Hong currently possesses, she no longer needs to risk going out to sea to fish and earn such risky money.
But considering that Japan's vast territorial waters are so much larger than ours, yet they still tried to seize our Diaoyu Islands and occupy the Ryukyu Islands, Chen Hong felt resentful and indignant!
Even the Japanese are so "ambitious," Chen Hong was born with a spatial artifact, and she would feel uneasy if she didn't go and get something back for him.
She no longer expects to get rich by selling the catch; even if she brings it back and dumps it into our own sea area, Chen Hong feels that she has not wasted her life of possessing the space.
We ordinary people also have a patriotic heart. We can't help the country with other things, so we can only do some small things to contribute to enriching marine resources.
When Zhou Yi and Yu Yang returned, they found Chen Hong checking the weather forecast online in the study. The two of them immediately perked up, remembering the game console they had bought that morning, which they hadn't played yet.
So the two boys, one big and one small, started digging out the game console they'd bought that morning. Chen Hong had never played one before in her life, and she knew absolutely nothing about these random games.
Seeing Zhou Yi connecting Yu Yang to the TV in the living room, Chen Hong didn't understand and didn't care at all.
He only said to Yang, "Xiao Bao, your Uncle Zhou bought you this game console. You can play it in the future, but you have to plan your time."
You can only play for one hour a day, otherwise you'll ruin your eyes, and you won't be able to join the army or become a doctor later. Also, you need to learn how to install and connect it yourself, otherwise when your Uncle Zhou goes back to the army, I won't know how to fix this thing!
Yu Yang said proudly, "This game console is so simple and fun. Many kindergarten kids have one at home, and they can teach me how to play it."
Chen Hong was speechless: You little brats have no shortage of talented people!
Turning her head, Chen Hong saw the luggage Zhou Yi had brought back on the sofa and her eyelids twitched: No way! He's moving in tonight? This is progressing way too fast!
"You two go take a shower and change your clothes first, then come back to play after you're done."
However, playtime cannot exceed ten o'clock. Yu Yang must go to sleep; don't forget he has school tomorrow! I'll go upstairs to tidy up the guest room first!
Chen Hong checked the front door and found that they had already locked it. She hurried upstairs to prepare a guest room for Zhou Yi.
