"You and grandma are thinking long-term." Yan Rushan admired this. "But, how did you and grandma think of collecting these good things back then? After liberation, many families started wearing gold and silver."
Especially those who made their fortunes through military merit, many of them climbed up from the bottom; they have a natural desire for gold, silver and jade ornaments; some people started wearing gold and silver as soon as they were liberated. Although it is not obvious, it can still be discovered if you pay attention.
Gold and silver bracelets, earrings, and other things, as well as capitalists wearing fancy clothes; however, these people were no longer seen during the turmoil.
Those who were lucky enough not to die also lost a layer of skin.
"We've just been liberated, so who knows what the future holds?" Yan Guofeng said with full energy, "It's not like your grandmother and I can't make ends meet. We can live comfortably on our wages. Wouldn't it be better to keep those things as a family heirloom? There's no need to flaunt your wealth."
Yan Rushan: What else can he say?
Yan Guofeng continued, "You're still far behind our generation. Back then, we kept our good things hidden and never showed off our wealth. Now look at these people, in their forties, who still show off their good things. I don't know what to say."
"You had no choice then, but things are different now." Having seen a lot in business and understood everything, Yan Rushan bluntly stated, "In today's world, people laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes. Many people clearly do bad things, even immoral ones, but why doesn't anyone say anything? Because they have money."
This situation is not uncommon. In the past, if you had a little money, you had to hide it, for fear that others would find out. But in the future, such days will no longer exist. After the reform, everyone's life is getting better and better. They wear better clothes, eat better food, and use better things. With the accumulation of such good things over time, they will only become more and more.
Yan Guofeng shook his head and sighed, "So, your generation is not as low-key, modest, and cultured as our older generation."
"Grandpa, I really don't want to tell you the truth and hurt you."
"Then don't say anything."
"Okay." Grandpa had said this, what else could he do? He would just do it. "Then where is the place you mentioned?"
Yan Guofeng looked up again and sighed softly, "At the border of Province S and Province G, there's a place called Da Liu Village. I don't know if it's still called Da Liu Village now, but it used to be called Da Liu Village. In the past, the men in their village either went out to fight and never came back, or were captured. It was a village of widows. Later, we fought there and settled down. Your grandmother and I lived in a small house next to a big pond in Da Liu Village."
"Then it can still be here?"
"Maybe. You can go and look for him. If he's not there, forget it. If he is, bring him back and leave him for our three precious children. It will give you face when you marry a wife or save up wealth in the future." He may not care about face, but his great-grandson cannot lose face.
Yan Rushan was speechless. "The border between Province S and Province G is over 200 kilometers away. Are you sure I can make it?"
"I have to go even if I can't. My grandmother and I bought that house, and I still have the title deed. Even if the things are gone, I have to take the house back."
When the grandfather spoke rudely, the grandson couldn't find any words to refute him, so he could only respond, "Okay, but I won't go over. I'll ask someone to find him when I get back to the capital, and I'll give him some money as a reward."
Seeing that he had a plan in mind, Yan Guofeng stopped pestering him. "It just so happens that I didn't bring the deed with me. I'll give it to you when I get back."
In the next few days, Zhong Yuxiu ate and slept, slept and ate, and played with the children when she had nothing to do. Zhong Yuxiu did not say she was leaving, so Yan Guofeng and Yan Rushan did not ask. Four days later, Captain Yu from the G Province Army came with two teammates.
Zhong Yuxiu, Yan Guofeng and Yan Rushan received them together and invited them into the house.
Yan Guofeng and Yan Rushan were unaware of the situation, and Zhong Yuxiu had no intention of hiding it from them. The reason she hadn't mentioned it before was because they hadn't asked. Moreover, when encountering a matter like an assassination attempt, there was no need to bring it up specifically after the person had been caught.
"Captain Yu, you've been gone for three or four days, so you're finally here. If you don't come back, we'll all have to go back to the capital."
Captain Yu apologized, "Comrade Zhong, I'm truly sorry. The other party wasn't very good at extending their hand and was very stubborn. It took some time to get the answer. Don't worry, no one is targeting you for now. You should be safe on the train."
"What do you mean?" After all, he was murdered. If he didn't ask for the details, he would be upset.
"They weren't sure of your identity, so they only sent two people to test you. They only knew you were a researcher, and since you frequently visited the Medical Research Institute, they didn't take you seriously. They just thought you were talented, since you were so young and yet you were able to lead the Medical Research Institute to success. That's why they thought it wouldn't matter if they killed the wrong person, since they only sent two people."
I see. Her information is well protected and the other party doesn't know everything about her.
The implication: She is still safe.
So, since these two people didn't go back, the problem arises.
"Those two people can't be released. I'm afraid my identity can no longer be concealed." A high-level medical research institute, even if it took out the repair fluid, could only send two people to test it out. If these two people didn't go back, the fact that they were taken away would soon be known.
It goes without saying that the person was detained in the army; she, Zhong Yuxiu, was definitely a key protected person.
That's right.
She was exposed.
"I'm afraid we won't be able to live in peace." His bright eyes flashed with brilliance. "Captain Yu, I'm afraid you won't be able to withdraw the team."
Captain Yu said, "We can escort you to Shangjing and then regroup."
"That's not necessary." Zhong Yuxiu waved her hand, glanced at the old man and Yan Rushan, and said clearly: "I will go back to the army with you later. Grandpa and Rushan will take the people back to Shangjing first."
"What are your plans?" Captain Yu had to ask because he didn't understand her plan.
Zhong Yuxiu said, "We'll discuss this when we get back to the army. Now go buy tickets for my family. Buy sleeper berths for everyone, and try to buy them together."
"Okay, this is easy." It's not difficult to buy it with some connections.
Zhong Yuxiu tapped the table with her fingers, pondered for a moment, and then said, "No need to buy tickets for Comrade Gu Lingguo and Comrade Fang Guozhong."
"Okay." Captain Yu asked, "Do you have any other instructions?"
"Grandpa, Rushan, Feng Zheng, Wang Daya, and Gong Zhaodi, just buy five tickets. We'll all be in the same carriage. The three children don't need tickets. Go get them now. I'll let you go once the tickets are back." After a pause, he added, "You should secretly send someone to escort my grandfather and the others back to Shangjing."
Captain Yu agreed without thinking, as it was his duty to protect her family; he knew it was possible without asking, so there was no harm in agreeing to it first.
"That's it for now."
"I'll go to the train station first and see if I can buy a ticket for the nearest train."
After seeing Captain Yu off, Zhong Yuxiu looked at the old man and Yan Rushan.
