Chapter 1033: Loyalty and Friendship
Old Master Liu pondered for a moment. "I'll call Yi'an and Tang Ying tonight and ask them to come over if they're free! If they really can't make it, I'll have Yiwen go over and pay tribute to his benefactor on his behalf!"
Zhang Xiufang waved her hands quickly upon hearing this, "Grandpa, please don't call Yi'an and Tang Ying! They're both so busy, and if you call them, they'll have to find ways to get some time off!"
"The fact that Chongyang and I are being well taken care of here is truly more meaningful than going to pay our respects to Jianguo in person. If Jianguo were still alive, he would surely be extremely grateful to the Liu family and would never have a single complaint!"
Old Master Liu hesitated, "But it's such an important anniversary..."
Zhang Xiufang insisted, "Grandpa, there are no ghosts or gods in this world. In fact, this is all done for the living to see, and it also makes the living feel comfortable! We just need to understand it in our hearts, there is no need to do this!"
Mr. Liu nodded, "Okay! I understand!"
It was getting late, so Zhang Xiufang looked at the time and rode her scooter to work at the ornamental fish farm.
Although Mr. Liu agreed to Zhang Xiufang, he still called Liu Yian.
Liu Yian pondered for a moment, then said, "Grandpa, the military competition is about to begin, and I can't leave. I can't go to visit Jianguo. After I finish my work here, Tang Ying and I will go there in person."
Old Master Liu nodded. "Okay, if you don't have time to go, don't worry. I just wanted to tell you, don't forget. Also, you have four comrades working at Yiwen's company. Now that the underwater salvage company has been deregistered, they've transferred to Meilan's pearl farming company. They're patrolling the sea and transporting supplies, and the pay is very good."
"They continue to work here, but they are on vacation because the ship is still under renovation. This time Xiufang goes back to pay respects to Jianguo, and I will let Yiwen take your place and take the four of them to pay respects to Jianguo together, and protect Xiufang and Chongyang."
Liu Yian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. "That's good. I was worried that Xiufang and Chongyang would be harassed if they went there. Having Yiwen and the four comrades accompanying them can really help take care of them. Grandpa, thank you."
Mr. Liu smiled and said, "You're welcome. This is what I should do. If you don't have time, we'll find a way. Do your best."
Liu Yian smiled and said, "Grandpa, if I can get good grades this time, my promotion will be justified. Thank you, family."
Old Master Liu was pleased, "Then you should be more cautious, be low-key and humble, and be a low-key person, but when we compete, we must show our true skills."
"Yes, grandpa." Liu Yian nodded. He knew about the family affairs. Who would have thought that hundreds of tons of gold would be handed over just as the Liu family and his father asked.
Now, whenever the leaders of their military region talk about this matter, they always praise it highly.
In order to develop the economy, we have been continuously reducing our military forces, and our military expenditure has become much less than other expenditures.
Starting this year, things are different. Military spending has increased, and more funds are being allocated to military research. Everything is moving in a positive direction.
Mr. Liu smiled and said, "Take care!"
Liu Yian agreed, "I understand, Grandpa."
Old Master Liu instructed, "Live a good life with Tang Ying. When you come back, educate the child well, don't just focus on beating him. Educate the child the same way your parents and I taught you when you were a child."
Liu Yian smiled, "Yes, Grandpa. The child is very good. Tang Ying is usually very strict with the child, but also loves the child. Every time I go home, I help the child with homework, run, and play ball with him. We have a very good relationship."
Old Master Liu was relieved. "That's right. When children are young, you should teach them to distinguish right from wrong and accompany them. If you don't love them and don't accompany them, how can you have the authority to manage them when they grow up?"
Liu Yian agreed, "Yeah, I know."
In the army, you often see leaders getting furious with their young sons at home, but they can do nothing about it.
He took it as a warning.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Yian called his comrades who were working there, and they were all willing to go back with Zhang Xiufang and Xu Chongyang to pay their respects.
Liu Yian called Liu Yiwen personally. Liu Yiwen, who had just arrived at the office and was about to go to a meeting, took out his mobile phone and saw that it was his boss's number. He immediately stood up to answer the call.
The blood suppression in his memory made Liu Yiwen's respect for his elder brother integrated into his blood.
Not to mention Liu Yiwen, Liu Yibang also felt the same when he received the call. After all, when he was a child, his parents were busy, and his eldest brother Liu Yian really lived up to his father's role as an elder brother.
If they are naughty, they will really be beaten badly by their big brother.
"Hello, brother, what can I do for you?" Liu Yiwen asked cautiously. Although he would call his brother from time to time, it was usually at night and rarely during working hours.
Liu Yian smiled softly, "I do need your help with something. Chongyang's father's death anniversary is coming soon... I have to participate in the martial arts competition, and I can only go after the competition is over. So I hope you can accompany Xiufang and Chongyang back and protect them."
Liu Yiwen agreed, "Okay! Big brother, I'll go over for you."
"Thank you!" Liu Yian expressed his gratitude with a sincere tone.
At this time, I suddenly felt that it was good to have more brothers. When something happened, we could help each other.
Liu Yiwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Brother, you are so polite to me. Don't you think of me as your brother? Your business is my business. Don't worry, I promise to help you with everything."
Liu Yian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to a drink when I get back."
"Okay, I'll prepare the wine." Liu Yiwen also smiled, "Brother, take care."
Liu Yian nodded, "I will. The family depends on you and Meilan."
Liu Yiwen smiled and said, "To be exact, it's Meilan. As for me, I just run errands for Meilan."
Liu Yian was relieved. "You've made a lot of progress. Mom, Dad, and Grandpa often praise you. Even Meilan said you're doing pretty well now."
Liu Yiwen was very happy to receive the affirmation from his elder brother. The two brothers exchanged a few words before hanging up the phone.
That night, Liu Yiwen came back and asked about the specific time.
Zhang Xiufang was a little embarrassed. "I originally wanted to take Chongyang back with me, but I didn't expect to trouble you and mobilize so many people."
Liu Yiwen said in a deep voice: "Sister Xiufang, this is what we should do, don't worry."
Zhang Xiufang replied, "I plan to leave the day after tomorrow by train."
Liu Yiwen thought for a moment, then said, "Sister Xiufang, if you arrange it this way, the train ride will take a very long time, which is a huge waste of time. How about this: we can just fly directly to your city in about three hours, and then rent a few cars and go straight there. All in all, it'll only take five or six hours."
Zhang Xiufang was stunned. "Can we still take a plane?"
"Yes! Your city has an airport." Liu Yiwen replied that he had specifically called to check.
Zhang Xiufang smiled. "Okay, that's more convenient. If we're flying, we can leave the day after tomorrow, rest for a night, go to the tomb sweeping ceremony the next day, and then come back the day after."
