A wonderful life through the 1970s

"Xiaoyue, do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

"Dad, do you have something to talk to me about?" Lan Xiyue asked puzzledly.

"Well, your uncle Lan Jin wants to talk to you. He is in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now, and it would be best if he knew what you did abroad this time so that he can respond."

"Okay, I don't have anything to do tomorrow."

Well then, let’s go have lunch with your uncle Lan Jin tomorrow.

Jun Yanqing came back during dinner and saw Lan Xiyue leaning lazily on the sofa reading a newspaper, so he walked over.

Lan Xiyue looked up and saw Jun Yanqing coming back. "How was your day? Why are you back so late?"

"I went to the brigade commander to arrange for family housing. I was alone before. I lived in a single dormitory. After the New Year, you applied for a house when you joined the army."

"Do you live in a bungalow or an apartment building?" Lan Xiyue asked curiously.

"I know you don't like buildings, so I picked a small courtyard. After the New Year, I'll find time to get the furniture ready, so it will be convenient for you to live there when you want."

"Have you told your leaders that they will be selecting special forces soldiers after the New Year?"

Having said that, the brigade commander is very supportive.

According to your request, the training ground should be built in a place with mountains and water. I went there this afternoon and found a place about 200 miles away from the troops that meets your requirements.

If you have time, please accompany me to take a look and build some infrastructure.

OK, there is no rush for this, let's wait until after the Chinese New Year. It will take at least a month to select outstanding talents from various places. Before that, we just need to get it done there, and then you can tell me how to do it, and I will find someone to follow your ideas.

During the meal, Mr. Lan said that Old Han and Han Yi would come to Beijing in two days.

Grandma Lan asked in confusion, "Old Han, what's the matter? The New Year is coming soon, why are you here at this time?"

Mr. Lan glanced at his wife and sighed, "Something happened to Han Yi."

Grandma Lan was startled. "What happened to Xiaoyi?"

Lan Jingchen and the others also looked at Grandpa Lan, waiting for his answer. Han Yi and Lan Jingchen had known each other since childhood, and when they heard that he was in trouble, they were also concerned.

"I heard from your Grandpa Han that his hand was injured. Doesn't that mean the doctors can't do anything about it? I thought of Xiyue and called them to come here and let Xiyue take a look at him. That child is very good. It would be a pity if his hand was really broken."

Grandma Lan said worriedly, "Is it that serious? How did he get hurt? That child is quite strong, how could he be hurt so badly?"

The people haven't arrived yet, and the details are still unclear. They are expected to arrive the day after tomorrow. Jingchen, you brothers can see who has time to pick them up at the train station the day after tomorrow.

Then my third brother and I will go, we have time.

……

When he returned to his room at night, Jun Yanqing hugged Lan Xiyue. "Xixi, where did you go today? You refused to go to the army with me."

"Hehehe... Isn't it almost the New Year? The rice, flour, grain, oil, and animals in my space are all overflowing. We can't finish them, so I went to the black market to find Brother Xiangbei. I asked him to help us sell the goods and exchange them for some money and things."

"Don't you give uncle a batch of food every month? Is there still a lot in the space?" Jun Yanqing asked curiously.

Yes, but those are just a drop in the bucket, there is still a lot in the space. Take out some and sell them to the people at a low price to relieve the pressure on the country.

Most of the food that my uncle gave every month was given to the army and people in remote areas. Beijing and the surrounding areas were still short of food, but not as serious.

So did you guys agree on when to trade?

It’s around eleven o’clock tonight, in our warehouse outside the city.

Then you take a nap first, I’ll call you later and we’ll go together.
