She wanted to say that it was very light so that Mr. Fu would feel at ease. Unexpectedly, Mr. Fu’s heart ached when he heard that. Even the male soldiers in the company couldn’t take it. However, his daughter said it so easily. How much pain did she have to endure?
Xia Jinyuan, who was observing silently, retracted his gaze. Just now, he was shocked too. He thought that the old man was unwell. After seeing the wooden basin, he and Ye Jian heaved a sigh of relief.
The old man took in the subtle changes in their facial expressions. He patted the back of Xia Jinyuan’s hand and smiled. “I’m fine. This medicine is used to soak my feet. It’s so that I’ll feel comfortable when sleeping at night.”
He continued, “It’s all thanks to your father. His soldiers found all kinds of wild Chinese herbs in their area. They dried them in the sun and cut them up before sending them to the capital city. Wild Chinese herbs are much more effective.”
As soon as he heard that Commander Xia had helped him, Xia Jinyuan decided to give his old man a big hug when he got back. He wanted to thank him for helping him to make the old man so satisfied.
If the old man was satisfied, his position as his grandson-in-law would be more stable. As for his future father-in-law… All father-in-laws in the world were difficult to deal with. It couldn’t be helped. He had to marry his father-in-law’s sweetheart in the future. His father-in-law couldn’t bear to part with her. It was understandable that Mr. Fu didn’t like his son-in-law.
Hence, he had to work hard to make his father-in-law more and more satisfied with his son-in-law.
“You’re welcome. My father has a few soldiers who retired from the army. Their families are all in the mountains. I heard from my father that they’re not used to the arranged jobs when they go back. A few soldiers who were close decided to start their own business and specialize in the pure wild Chinese herbs business. You can use them in peace. Once you’ve finished them, my father will make further arrangements for you.”
In order to please the old man, Comrade Xia pushed Commander Xia out without any hesitation. What he said was indeed the truth, but Commander Xia usually didn’t look for his soldiers because he was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable.
For the sake of the old man’s health and to let the two young people go home smoothly, Commander Xia was like all the parents in the world. He was willing to help his children.
The old man’s interest was piqued when he heard that. “That’s a good thing! Now that the country’s military power is getting stronger and stronger, more and more people will definitely need to join the military in the future. After joining the military, they’ll be out of touch with society for three to five years.
After they leave the military, they’ll definitely be unaccustomed to everything. It’s indeed a good idea to let retired soldiers start their own businesses, but they still need the strong support of all parties.
“Bring it up when you go back and have them look for me. I’ll introduce them to my connections and let them expand their industries so that the retired soldiers who start their own businesses in the future will have more confidence.
“It’s good to let them have more and more choices and higher chances of success. That way, even if they retire, the industry they’re involved in will also contribute to the growth of the country’s strength.”
When the old man said ‘contribute’, he meant the tax of an enterprise.
Although he had retired for so many years, the old man’s mind was still on country matters. He paid attention to them at all times and did his best.
In this world, there would always be some selfless people who gave their lives silently. They didn’t need to be surrounded by spotlights. They didn’t even like to be exposed. They only wanted to give silently and work hard for their country.
The old man and the deceased matriarch were selfless scientists.. Their names wouldn’t spread widely, but they would definitely be recorded in history and be remembered for all eternity!
