Chapter five hundred and thirty fifth a wish
Xia Rufei slept for a while, and it was already evening when he got up.
The employees of Tongrentang of Qiantang drove to Taoyuan Farm in a hurry. Mr. Lin and Dr. Huang also got up tired. At noon, both of them drank a lot. Fortunately, there were no side effects on drunken Eight Immortals wine, and they did not have the headache after getting up.
Xia Rufei greeted everyone to the cafeteria for dinner first, and then instructed Qin Xiaojun to take out the iron maple dots supplied to Tongrentang.
This time, Xia Rufei only gave Tongrentang 130 kilograms of iron maple buckets, which was slightly less than last time. Of course, even if it was supplied according to this amount every month, it would definitely be more than the agreed supply in a year.
In addition, I got two more precious wild ginseng today, so although Mr. Lin was a little disappointed, he still accepted it happily.
Mr. Lin and Dr. Huang personally inspected the iron maple dot. This is just a routine matter. In fact, the quality of the iron maple dot provided by Xia Rufei is far superior to that of ordinary specialty products.
Then I re-populated the weight of the iron maple bucket.
Then President Lin readily signed the supply agreement between Daming Qiantang Tongrentang and Taoyuan Company on the supply form issued by Pang Hao. The supply form was signed by President Lin, and the specific payment was made. If Pang Hao would follow up specifically, Xia Rufei would not have to worry about it.
Xia Rufei personally took out two wild mountain ginseng that Mr. Lin had temporarily stored here from the office safe, and at the same time he also took a small box of about one or two pieces of Dahongpao tea in the office drawer and handed it to Mr. Lin.
Mr. Lin personally took the car back to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province overnight.
The small truck of Tongrentang disappeared into the night, and Xia Rufei breathed a sigh of relief. The series of busyness finally came to an end.
Xia Rufei's personal account has earned more than 25 million yuan these days, mainly for the sale of two sums of money from the sale of Blood Red Dragon and Wild Mountain Ginseng.
The company's Tie Pi Fengdou's more than 22 million yuan will be quickly transferred to the company's account. In addition, Taoyuan vegetables are sold every day, and it is also a steady stream of fixed income, so the company's funds are quite abundant.
Yesterday, Xia Rufei listened to the financial situation reported by Feng Jing and Pang Hao. The current working capital in the company's account has reached more than 30 million, which can be said to be in a very healthy state.
You should know that Taoyuan Company has not borrowed loans from banks since its inception, and is still in debt so far. This is rare among startups, and it can even be said to be the only one.
In the next two days, Xia Rufei stayed on the farm to handle some daily work and also convened the heads of various business offices of the company to hold several meetings. He needed to make a decision on some development issues.
Especially for the pharmaceutical factory, the approval of new drugs has entered the second phase of clinical trials, and all aspects of work are very cumbersome. In addition to grasping the general direction, Xia Ruofei also praised Xue Jinshan and others and said a lot of encouragement.
Of course, material incentives are indispensable. After Xia Rufei's approval of new drugs is successfully completed, he will issue additional bonuses to the pharmaceutical company's employees.
Xia Rufei also considered that he had to go out again, so before leaving Sanshan, he had to at least let the company enter a smooth operation state.
Taking advantage of these days, Xia Rufei also accompanied Ling Qingxue well.
After straightening the farm work, it was already three days later.
Xia Rufei carried a backpack and went out for a long journey again.
Lei Hu drove Xia Rufei to Sanshan International Airport in a Mercedes-Benz.
However, his first stop was not to go directly to Tibet. His destination was Lin Yue'e, the widow of the old squad leader Luo in Ganjiang Province next door to the southeastern province, had been back to his hometown for some time. Xia Rufei thought that the funeral should have been handled almost completely, so he planned to take a trip himself to complete the task assigned to him by the wolf king Guo Zhan.
Of course, Xia Rufei himself always hoped to do something for the martyrs' families, especially Lin Yue'e was also the family of the old team leader Luo. During the years when he served as a lone wolf, Lin Yue'e brought a lot of delicious food every time she came to visit the team and rushed to help the soldiers wash clothes. Xia Rufei also respected this sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart.
Two hours later, the flight Xia Rufei was on landed at Yuzhang City Airport, the capital of Ganjiang Province.
Xia Ruofei left the airport and booked a taxi directly to Guhuang County, Linzhang City, Squad Leader Luo's hometown.
Guhuang County is about 150 kilometers away from Yuzhang City, but the road in the mountainous area is not easy to walk, so Xia Rufei arrived at the distance near noon.
He spent 800 yuan to buy this taxi for a whole day, so after arriving in the county, Xia Rufei and the taxi driver found a restaurant for some lunch, then went to the nearby street to buy some sacrifices, and then took the taxi to go straight to the Martyrs Cemetery next to the county.
Guhuang County Martyrs Cemetery is located in Wenling Mountain Forest Park on the outskirts of the county.
Xia Rufei took a bus to the entrance of the forest park and asked the driver to wait in the parking lot. He walked up the mountain with the sacrifices and only paid half of the chartered bus fare, so he didn't have to worry about the driver running away.
Of course, there is only one exit for Wenling Mountain Forest Park, drivers don’t have to worry about Xia Rufei escaping, and the fare of 400 yuan is enough to charter a car from Yuzhang to Guhuang. However, the driver may not be able to earn another 400 yuan when he returns now, so he will naturally wait for Xia Rufei here with peace of mind.
Xia Rufei walked up the mountain along the trail in the Forest Park. After a while, he saw a street sign indicating that a small path on the right leads to the Martyrs Cemetery.
Xia Rufei walked along the path for hundreds of meters and saw the entrance to the Martyrs Cemetery.
In fact, you can see a striking monument at the foot of the mountain, which is the ancient yellow monument to the Liberation of Liberation. Around the monument, there are the tombs of ancient yellow martyrs who died in peacetime from the Anti-Japanese War, the Liberation War to the peacetime period.
There is a small house near the entrance of the Martyrs Cemetery. An old man in his sixties came out of the house to dry his clothes. After seeing Xia Rufei, he put down his washbasin and walked over to ask about Xia Rufei's purpose.
The old man was wearing the green military uniform of the 1980s and was washed a little white. He was wearing the Jiefang shoes that the army had stopped producing.
When he heard that Xia Rufei was the comrade-in-arms of Squad Leader Luo, he came from other places to worship Squad Leader Luo, he suddenly became very enthusiastic and took Xia Rufei to the cemetery of Squad Leader Luo himself.
Not everyone can bury this martyr's cemetery. It must be a martyr officially confirmed by the state. Generally, only martyrs from ancient yellow books will be buried here. Therefore, sometimes there may not be new "residents" in one or two years, so the old man is naturally impressed by Pansar Luo who was buried not long ago.
The two walked and talked. Xia Rufei also learned that the old man's name was Luo Yuanshan Gu Huang. Luo is a big surname. Many of the native Gu Huang people were once a soldier. They also participated in the border war in the 1980s. After retiring from the army, they volunteered to guard the tombs of the martyrs here, and have been persistent for more than 30 years.
When Xia Rufei heard this, she couldn't help but look down upon Luo Yuanshan.
Luo Yuanshan's body is quite tough, and he is walking with great wind and climbing the mountain is not slow at all.
Soon he took Xia Ruofei to a new grave and said, "Xiao Luo, your comrades are here to see you..."
Xia Rufei said politely: "Mr. Luo, thank you!"
Luo Yuanshan smiled at Xia Rufei and quietly retreated to the distance, who was once a soldier, and he knew very well that friendship between his comrades, so he knew that Xia Rufei needed an environment without any disturbance at this time.
Xia Rufei squatted in front of the tombstone of the old squad leader Luo and said to himself: "You are the old squad leader Luo..."
The tombstone is inlaid with black and white photos of Captain Luo’s military uniform, and there is a confident smile on his face in the photo.
The grave is very clean, there are some stems left after burning in the incense burner, and there are two piles of dried candle oil on the altar in front of the tombstone.
Xia Rufei placed the offerings on the altar like that, then lit incense and candles, and then began to burn paper money.
Xia Rufei drew two circles in the open space in front of the grave, and first burned a few stacks of paper money in the small circle. This is also a custom in the south. These paper money are for the land and the passing ghosts. After they take the money, they will not rob the old squad leader.
The paper money in that big circle was naturally burned to Captain Luo.
After burning all the paper money and ingots brought by Xia Rufei, he carefully put out the remaining fire. The forest park was filled with vegetation. If it was not handled carefully, it would easily cause wildfires.
Xia Rufei opened another bottle of the Drunken Eight Immortals, first filled the three cups side by side on the altar, and then took out another cup and poured about one or two taels of white wine.
Xia Rufei took the cup and signaled to the photo of squad leader Luo on the tombstone, saying, "Squad leader, I respect you!"
After saying that, Xia Rufei raised his head and drank a whole glass of wine, then picked up three wine glasses on the altar one by one, and slowly sprinkled the wine inside to the ground.
Xia Rufei also said, "Squad Leader Luo, I will visit your sister-in-law later. I hope my sister-in-law can accept the work I provide to her, otherwise it will be too difficult for her to support a family alone... Sister-in-law is the person you know best. She is very strong and will never accept the help of her comrades. You must bless me to go smoothly! By the way, Nan Nan, it's time to go to elementary school soon. Don't worry, as long as my sister-in-law is willing to work with me in Sanshan, I will definitely find the best school for Nan Nan in Sanshan..."
Xia Rufei held a wine bottle in one hand and sat in front of the grave of the old squad leader Luo, leaning against the squad leader's tombstone, just like this.
From time to time, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Of course, he would not forget to add wine to the several cups on the altar.
As Xia Rufei talked about the incident when he was a soldier, he talked about the little things he had in the Lone Wolf Commando before, but he didn't think anything was there at the time, but now he has become a precious memory when he thinks about it.
Until the sun gradually reached the west and Xia Rufei's shadow was gradually stretched, he sighed and stood up and said, "Squad Leader Luo, I still have your home. I can't accompany you today. I will come to see you if I have time..."
Xia Rufei slowly put the offerings into a bag, cleaned up the grave of Pansailor Luo, and then turned around.
Only then did he realize that the veteran Luo Zhiyuan, who was guarding the tomb, had not left for the whole afternoon, was sitting under a pine tree in the distance. Luo Zhiyuan saw Xia Ruofei walking back and stood up.
"Mr. Luo, thank you for your hard work..." Xia Ruofei said.
He forgot the time while chatting with Squad Leader Luo, but he didn't expect that the veteran would wait for an afternoon.
Luo Zhiyuan patted Xia Rufei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Young man, you can see that you have a deep relationship with Luo!"
Xia Rufei nodded silently and walked down the mountain together.
Back at the entrance of the Martyrs Cemetery, Xia Ruofei shook hands with Luo Zhiyuan and said, "Mr. Luo, thank you very much today. I will ask you to take care of my squad leader's cemetery in the future..."
"Don't worry, young man!" Luo Zhiyuan said with a smile, "I will take good care of every comrade-in-arms who are sleeping here."
Xia Ruofei nodded, straightened her body and saluted Luo Zhiyuan, which was a sincere respect for a persistent veteran.
Luo Zhiyuan was slightly stunned and immediately returned a standard military salute.
In the sunset, two people were wearing casual clothes and the other was wearing old military uniforms from decades ago. However, their salutes did not feel any incongruous, but instead looked very solemn.
Xia Ruofei shook hands heavily with Luo Zhiyuan, and then the two waved goodbye.
When Xia Rufei came to the parking lot at the entrance of the forest park at the foot of the mountain, the taxi driver was already a little impatient. When he saw Xia Rufei, he immediately said: "Boss, if you don't come again, I really think you are running away from the order..."
Xia Rufei smiled with a hint of apology and said, "Sorry, I've been delayed for a while when I meet an old friend. You can take me to a place later and go back. Today, I've delayed you for so long. I'll add another 200 fare to you."
When the taxi driver heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, boss!"
He also opened the car door for Xia Rufei very diligently.
After the two got in the car, Xia Ruofei said, "Master, please send me to Luoshan Village, Yongping Town, and then you can return to Yuzhang."
"Okay!" the taxi driver replied readily.
Then the driver started setting up navigation on his mobile phone. He drove a taxi in the provincial capital all year round and was not very familiar with the roads in Guhuang County.
Luoshan Village is about forty kilometers away from the county town. When the taxi drove to the small square at the entrance of the village, it was already dark.
The cement road that opens every village is at the entrance of the village, and Xia Rufei doesn't know the specific location of Panzhang Luo's house, so he lets the taxi stop at the entrance of the village.
Xia Rufei gave the driver 600 yuan very readily, and then asked him to return to Yuzhang City by himself.
On summer evening, many villagers were enjoying the cool and chatting under the big trees at the entrance of the village. When they saw a strange young man coming to the village, everyone looked over curiously.
Xia Rufei walked over with his bag, came to an old man holding a palm fan, and asked politely: "Uncle, how can Lin Yue'e's family go?"
As soon as Xia Ruofei said this, the expressions on the villagers' faces became a little strange.
Xia Ruofei explained: "I am the comrade-in-arms of the squad leader Luo Zhicheng. This time I came here to visit Yue'e's sister-in-law."
The old man nodded slightly when he heard this, then sighed and said, "It's a pity for Zhicheng..."
"Uncle San, this young man is asking you for directions! Why are you talking about these?" said a villager next to him.
The old man shook his palm-leaf fan, smiled mockingly and said, "Young man is too long-winded when you get old... Young man, Zhicheng's family is easy to find. You can go west from this road, and you are just the one who is doing funeral!"
When Xia Rufei heard the three words "doing funerals", his face changed...
Chapter completed!
