He gave a simple smile.
"Good stuff, who wouldn't like it?"
I also really like that gold.
But how should I put it? I won't talk about national righteousness or grand talk about national development.
My grandfather and maternal grandfather made contributions, and my father also gave his life for the country. When it comes to me, I still have that much awareness.
To put it another way, I'm selfish. I'll keep all this stuff and not tell anyone. Yes, from now on, I won't have to work and can live a good life just by lying around. But what can I do then? Just sit around and wait to die as a useless person?
If that really happens, then I'll definitely be living a capitalist life, living off others without working, indulging in extravagance and waste. In that case, I'm afraid I won't even know how I died.
But it's different if it's for you.
I remember you said that day that you didn't have much food, and that you were so diligent in finding books, whether it was growing vegetables or raising pigs, all to make everyone's lives a little better.
I admire you for that.
Cheng Chao, to be honest, I'm quite selfish for telling you this news willingly, rather than to the government, the police, or any other organization.
I hope these things will make your lives a little better, especially for the brothers who, as you said, are going hungry.
You are the guardians of this land, and I believe in you.
Moreover, I know that with you here, these things won't be wasted, won't end up in someone's private coffers, or enrich someone else.
The situation outside is tense and chaotic. Even I, a former educated youth who is oblivious to what's going on outside, know that I should stay away and avoid trouble. You should also have your own strategies.
I'm not very familiar with your policies. I'm certain these items are unclaimed, and judging by their packaging, they should qualify as confiscated property. If not, donations are fine too. I just hope they can all be put to good use.
The concept of "three values" doesn't exist yet. If it did, Cheng Chao would definitely raise both hands and feet in agreement. They just get along so well, their values are the same, and even their thoughts are identical.
"Don't worry, Commander Lin and my uncle are not the kind of people who stick to the rules. This place is located in a remote area, so supplies and provisions are often delayed. In the past two years, the quality and quantity of supplies that have arrived have often not been guaranteed, and the higher-ups have been passing the buck to each other."
At times like this, naturally the priority is to protect our own people. And, to put it bluntly, this doesn't harm the interests of any individual or group; at most, it's just military-civilian cooperation, haha.
That makes Jian Dan feel a little better. She can give the things away, but if they end up in someone else's possession, that would be disgusting enough.
Her original intention was to give them to them; otherwise, with such a large base, how many things couldn't be hidden?
"I'm not lying to you or exaggerating. When I discovered these things, the first thing that came to my mind was what you said: that you guys don't have enough to eat and train on an empty stomach."
When I looked at it, I thought, "Isn't this a coincidence?"
Cheng Chao's heart was warmed.
Over the years, since the family tragedy, apart from his uncle, no one has taken his words to heart so seriously, and no one has thought of him first when they see something good.
At this moment, even his eyes exuded comfort.
Strangely enough, he and Jian Dan never explicitly said anything, but they understood each other perfectly. They got along very well, more at ease with each other than with anyone else, like old friends and family who had known each other for many years.
I also believe that there was no romantic love involved.
"I knew it, otherwise you wouldn't have sent Jixiang to find me."
Speaking of good fortune, Jian Dan smiled to herself.
"Don't even mention it. The last two times it was Big Black. Jixiang is not even a year old yet, and it has never been out by itself. I'm afraid it won't be able to find its way around."
"Last time you brought that wrapper, it sniffed it for a long time, and Xin Xin had to explain it to it for ages before we let it out."
When Jixiang heard its name called, it looked up and barked twice, tilting its head in confusion.
"Jixiang is really too clever. He went in and made those people run all over the training field, but in the end, he didn't catch a single hair."
They simply walked along the path leading from their backyard down the mountain without encountering any villagers. They also used this path to carry their belongings down the mountain, so it didn't attract the villagers' attention.
The two of them, carrying the child, hadn't gone far when they reached the area where villagers usually went into the mountains. There were many children playing there, and villagers coming and going.
Those going up the mountain, those going down the mountain.
Cheng's attire attracted a lot of attention.
Cheng Chaolai didn't try to hide it from people. Many villagers had seen him before. They used to make wild guesses, but now they all knew he was there to see Jian Zhiqing's sister, and they were mostly just curious.
For example, how much salary does this soldier earn in a month, and whether he is married, etc.
After all, it's a rural area, and gossip is a mainstream form of public opinion.
Not wanting to be surrounded by people again, she simply and decisively reached out to take the child.
"We're almost at the door. I can carry it myself. You go back and do your work over there."
Cheng Chao didn't refuse and handed the child over without hesitation.
"Okay, you go back first. We estimate we won't be able to leave until dark. We'll bring you what you need in a couple of days."
Jian Dan only wanted farm tools, and wasn't in a hurry, nodding indifferently.
"OK."
Tiger and the others were running around happily when they saw Jian Dan, and immediately cheered and ran over.
"Sister Jane, Sister Jane,"
"Um?"
When Tiger and the others shouted, the child, who had just been switched at birth, looked up with a dazed expression, his head still sporting two tufts of hair sticking up.
"elder sister?"
"Are you awake?"
"Xin Xin," Tiger and the others arrived as well.
"Xin Xin, I came to look for you, but you weren't there. Did you go up the mountain?"
"Brother Huzi?"
After rubbing his eyes, the child seemed to be awake, so I quickly put him down.
"Want to go out and have some fun?"
"Xinxin, Xiaohua is still waiting for you at home,"
Tiger was getting a little anxious.
"Why don't you come to my house and play with Xiaohua? I'll go home in a bit."
The little girl stared at him blankly for a few moments, then shook her head and yawned.
"I don't want to leave anymore, let's go again tomorrow."
After saying that, he took Jian Dan's hand and started walking home. Tiger, who was following behind, was so anxious that he kept scratching his head and following closely behind.
"Why don't you go? Go have fun!"
The little girl has a rebellious streak.
"No, no, I want to go home."
Tiger came down from the corner, quite disappointed, while the children chattered away.
"Brother Tiger, can't you hear the story of the stone monkey anymore?"
"I'd also like to know, did that monkey get beaten up?"
"Yeah, yeah, that monkey is so much fun!"
The little girl suddenly turned around, put her hands on her hips, and looked fierce.
"It's not a stone monkey, it's not a stone monkey, it's Sun Wukong! Sun Wukong!"
snort!
If you call it wrong again, I won't let you hear the monkey story!
