"You are seven and he is three?"
"What are you thinking about? He is seven and I am three."
"Shameful!"
"Earn money, business, it's not shabby. Some people want to make money, but they can't."
The matter of trade with Ma Fan was unclear.
Tokugawa Iemitsu was very angry about this matter and issued a strict order not to do business with Ma Fan.
Liao Zhongjian originally thought the matter was over.
Unexpectedly, after seeing the pocket watches produced in Shandong, Matsudaira Nobutsuna decisively stated that he would get involved in this business.
Although General Ooku wanted to seize the country, Matsudaira Nobutsuna was also a loyal executor of this policy.
But who can have trouble with money?
It's absolutely possible to carry out General Da'ao's orders and do business at the same time.
And because of the lockdown, this business will definitely make more money.
Just don't let General Daou know.
Zong Yicheng was very transparent and immediately understood that 70% had to be let out.
He is not angry or sorry.
Because even if only 30% is left, there is still money to be made.
"The scenery in Teniuzi is beautiful. When Mr. Liao comes back in the future, you can enjoy it here."
In just one sentence, even the transaction location is clarified.
After all, Ma Fan belongs to the Zong family. Overt transactions are not allowed, but smuggling is not just casual.
Liao Zhongjian understood and raised his glass.
"I wish our friendship will last forever."
Zong Yicheng imitated his method and said with a smile: "Liao Jun will always be my friend."
……………………
During the Qingming Festival, we miss our loved ones even more.
"mother!"
Linqing, Zuozhuang, a quiet courtyard was broken by the voice of a girl Huang Ying.
The courtyard door was pushed open, and a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old ran in, furious.
In the courtyard, a middle-aged woman was preparing incense candles, yellow paper, and tributes. When she saw her coming in, she couldn't help but said angrily: "Look at you, you are a big girl, and you are still so unstable. How will your husband's family suffer when you marry someone in the future?" Come on?"
The girl ran over and helped her clean up.
"Then just don't get married. My father is gone, and I will stay with my mother for the rest of my life."
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can a girl not get married? Your father knows what he is doing. Is he angry with you?"
The girl pouted.
"It would be great if dad is still here. Why is our family like this? Look at other people, everyone is amazing. But dad was stupid and had to work hard. Now that he is gone, who still remembers him?"
The woman's expression changed.
"What are you doing? Without your father's death, how could we and my mother be where we are today? Have you forgotten the time when your father and mother took you and almost starved to death? Nowadays, you don't have to worry about food and drink, and you can still study. How could I have dared to think about it before?”
The girl was very aggrieved.
"If dad hadn't died, he would be a general now. I just look at other people's majesty and it's not worth it for dad."
The woman couldn't help crying.
"This is life!"
For a moment, the mother and daughter cried at each other.
It took a long time for the woman to recover.
"Let's go, it's getting late."
The girl also knew that her mother was sad and did not dare to say anything. She followed her mother out of the house and walked on.
Soon after, we arrived at the New Army Martyrs Cemetery.
The soldiers guarding here saw them approaching and immediately became solemn.
"salute!"
The girl stared blankly at the admiration in the soldier's eyes and couldn't help but mutter softly.
"They are the only ones who still remember dad."
Today's Martyrs Cemetery is no longer as deserted as it once was.
Rows of white tombstones stretch endlessly, and I’m afraid no one wants this.
The mother and daughter walked around the cemetery and finally arrived at the place.
But what surprised them was that there was still someone in front of the tomb.
It was a tall and resolute figure, silently staring at the tombstone.
The stone platform in front of the tombstone was filled with offerings.
The green smoke emitted by the incense candles lingers, like the loyal souls of martyrs.
"Uncle Jia!"
The girl's heart felt hot and she couldn't help but call out.
The man woke up and turned around, it was Jia Yunzhi.
"Oh, my sister-in-law and daughter-in-law are here!"
The woman's heart also felt warm.
"I heard that the army is busy right now, why did you come here?"
Jia Yunzhi helped arrange the sacrifices.
"No matter how busy you are, you can't forget Big Brother. Without him, where would our artillery be today?"
The girl took out a towel and carefully wiped the tombstone. She couldn't hold back what she was saying.
"Uncle Jia is the only one who still remembers my father!"
Jia Yunzhi was stunned.
"How do you say this?"
The girl pointed at the sacrifices in front of the tombstone and said angrily: "Uncle Jia is the only one who comes to visit dad every year."
Only then did Jia Yunzhi understand and couldn't help laughing.
"You girl. I didn't arrange these things. I'm a poor man and I can't even support myself. How can I get so many good things?"
Both mother and daughter were shocked when they heard that Jia Yunzhi was not responsible for the mountains of sacrifices.
"It's the commander-in-chief."
Jia Yunzhi gave the answer.
"He comes every year. Not only does he come to visit my eldest brother, but the commander-in-chief also walks around the entire cemetery."
The girl's eyes heated up.
"Commander...remember dad?"
Jia Yunzhi lamented: "The commander-in-chief is a man of long-lasting love. He will never forget everyone here. He once said that what he fears most is that the people who come after him will live a good life but forget the heroes here. .”
The girl has fallen into chaos.
What she discovered today was a huge shock to her.
I thought that after my father died, the family would be supported by mother and daughter. Even though my father died heroically, he has been forgotten by people.
Unexpectedly, the superior commander actually remembered.
Always remember.
After paying homage, the girl searched all the way and finally saw Zuo Mengeng's figure in the deepest part of the cemetery.
At this time, Zuo Mengeng was sitting in front of several tombstones, humming something.
Beside him, only Zuo Fu was there.
The girl is a little afraid of Zuo Fu.
In other words, no one is not afraid of Zuo Fu.
But at this moment, Zuo Fu's face was filled with tears, and he couldn't wipe them clean no matter how hard he wiped them.
After the girl got closer, she heard Zuo Mengeng singing.
A song I have never heard before, but very nice.
Who am I in the vast sea of people?
Which one am I in the rushing waves?
In the army that liberates the world
I am the one who contributes silently
In the long history of brilliant career
The one who is always running is me...
She noticed that when Zuo Mengeng was singing, his hand was always touching the tombstone, and his eyes were also red.
"Commander..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zuo Mengeng.
"You used to call me uncle."
"Uncle Zuo...Uncle Zuo..."
The girl's face was red and she was very shy.
Inwardly complaining.
"You're not much older than me."
"Uncle Zuo, who are they?"
There are only simple names on those tombstones, no place of origin, no position, no unit to which they belong.
Just seeing it is very confusing.
Zuo Mengeng touched these tombstones very carefully, as if to soothe the heroic souls.
"Them? They are the most amazing heroes."
The girl didn't understand.
"Then what have they done?"
Zuo Mengeng tried his best to smile.
"This... is kept secret. Maybe people will know after a period of time."
The girl was silent.
I don't know why, but looking at those monotonous tombstones, I suddenly realized that my father didn't seem so pitiful anymore.
Under the holy sunlight, the names on those tombstones were, for some reason, firmly engraved in her heart.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
【Tomb of Duan Zhixin】
【Tomb of Xu Congjiu】
【The Tomb of Guan Shanyue】
【The Tomb of Wei Yifang】
………………
Thinking of the song Zuo Mengeng sang just now, the girl suddenly smiled, as beautiful as a spring flower.
No matter how many complaints or dissatisfaction there are, they are all dissipated in the wind!
