Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 315: The Last Seedling Left by an Old Comrade
Huo Fuhai folded the newspaper, glanced at his grandson, "Talented individuals emerge in every generation, each dominating for hundreds of years. ’Tomahawk’ was injured back then, suffering numerous hidden ailments, and there remains a shrapnel in his body, yet to be removed;
we cannot lose such a comrade who has achieved remarkable military feats, so we have no choice but to call him back."
Huo Zhenqing asked, "What about his identity?"
"Back then, after his supposed sacrifice and ’revival,’ a new file was reconstructed for him. The two files were merged, and he will live with the new identity henceforth."
This is something that can be imagined. Huo Fuhai also knew that the family members were disciplined and wouldn’t indiscreetly divulge family discussions, including Shen Xiuqin. Otherwise, he wouldn’t say these things.
Being part of the army system, sometimes it’s inevitable that the family discusses certain matters when sitting together.
Everyone knows ’Tomahawk’ has returned, but no one has seen him. Everyone knows he is a hero, but no one recognizes him.
At the beginning of November, a new round of large-scale conscription began.
The Anguang County Armed Forces Department has been the most bustling place these days. Youths from various production teams have been coming forward to participate in military screening, with Li Shouzhi accompanying Xu Jianfeng just as they walked out of the office building.
"Fortunately, Huanhuan found me two individuals that day; they are the most physically fit ones. Although there are a few good ones among the others, overall, they are not outstanding," Xu Jianfeng was genuinely dissatisfied.
Li Shouzhi laughed, "Come on, you’re still coveting Jiang Xingye, aren’t you? That lad is stubborn, just give up on that idea."
Xu Jianfeng felt saddened that his friend couldn’t understand him, "You wouldn’t know, I heard he once broke into an airport. Yueze happened to be on duty there and witnessed it firsthand. Later he told me, that lad is a born military king. Do you think I can be reconciled?"
Li Shouzhi laughed heartily, finding his friend’s covetous look amusing.
"Report!"
A young guard ran over, saluted, "Report to the chief, Naval Infantry Captain Jian Jingchuan has arrived and is alighting at the gate!"
"Let’s go, head over!"
The two composed themselves and hurriedly walked outside.
Outside, the person had just gotten off the vehicle, three pairs of eyes meeting face-to-face. Indeed, Jian Jingchuan’s gaze was calm and joyful, yet hidden with a trace of excitement, while Li Shouzhi and Xu Jianfeng suddenly found their legs unmoveable for a moment. Both felt a twinge in their noses, almost shedding tears.
"You..."
"You..."
Jian Jingchuan nodded slightly, "Hello to both, I am Naval Infantry Captain Jian Jingchuan!"
The two saluted, eyes fixed on Jian Jingchuan, with Xu Jianfeng having slightly stronger mental resilience, he restrained himself, "Captain, please this way!"
Jian Jingchuan’s rank was one bar and one star, higher than their level.
The three walked calmly all the way to Li Shouzhi’s office. Entering the office, Li Shouzhi called in his confidant to guard the door, closed it, then brewed a cup of tea for Jian Jingchuan.
"To be honest, Old Xu has been jealous of this tea for a long time. I never had the heart to brew it for him to drink. The captain coming today is lucky." Li Shouzhi said meaningfully.
Jian Jingchuan received orders to inspect the conscription situation by following this route, he smiled and said, "Oh, why is that?"
He sniffed the aroma of the tea, instantly feeling refreshed, even faintly alleviated an old ache in his body, and eagerly took a sip.
"Not bad!" Jian Jingchuan praised unconsciously.
"Isn’t it!" Li Shouzhi glanced at Xu Jianfeng, who remained silent, seemingly not agreeing with him.
Yet Li Shouzhi continued, "It was given to me by the daughter of an old friend who has passed away. She’s not too old, only seventeen, but her medical skills are truly superb, and her tea preparation skills are exceptional. This tea is her concoction.
Last time she also gave Old Xu and me a few pills, which healed almost all of our old wounds."
Even if he was suspicious of Jian Jingchuan, he couldn’t directly ask him; their identities dictated that they must listen to organizational commands and strictly comply.
The higher-ups prohibited them from revealing their own identities, so they couldn’t say a word.
Jian Jingchuan’s hand holding the teacup was somewhat unstable, "What kind of girl is she?"
"She is very pretty, very smart, much like the daughter of my deceased friend, named Xu Qinghuan. Her father sacrificed himself in the East Mountain Island battle fourteen years ago. She is now working in the countryside here."
Li Shouzhi stared at Jian Jingchuan without blinking, even Xu Jianfeng, who didn’t agree with his action, couldn’t help but look over.
Jian Jingchuan took another sip of tea, his eyelids lowered, hiding his gaze from everyone, "So she’s a martyr’s orphan. Truly excellent tea, if you meet her again, could you also help me get some?
However, forget it, it’s fine things, perhaps calling it priceless treasure isn’t an exaggeration!"
Li Shouzhi couldn’t tell what he was feeling inside, as if everything was expected.
"Alright, next time she comes, I’ll help you ask. Maybe she’ll be willing to sell; would you mind paying a high price?" Li Shouzhi suddenly jested, indicating he gave up probing.
"Sure, so long as I can afford it, I’ll pay whatever amount." Jian Jingchuan shook the teacup, "Tea made by a young girl is worth any price!"
Xu Jianfeng said, "It is worth it! Originally, we said that she was the only seedling left behind by old comrades, and we wanted to do everything to take care of her, but this girl is so capable. In the end, it is us being taken care of by her instead."
He looked up at Jian Jingchuan, "The girl is truly capable, now actively engaging in industrial production at the Shangjiang Team, making great strides, her medical skills are remarkable. The saying ’no inferior progeny stems from illustrious houses’ holds true."
Li Shouzhi said, "Nonsense, my three sons are all troublemakers, you’ve seen them."
Jian Jingchuan laughed but turned his face away, looking out the window, as he sat on the single sofa, ensuring no one could see his face and eyes.
Jiang Xingjun and Jiang Xingwei came this time just for formality, having previously completed one health check at the Armed Forces Department, and with Xu Qinghuan, the Divine Doctor had backed them, their physical condition was naturally excellent.
Xu Qinghuan and Jiang Xingye accompanied them, and incidentally came to see Li Shouzhi.
"Ah Ye, will you accompany me to see Uncle Li?"
"Yeah, I’ll go with you."
Jiang Xingwei, however, pulled back Jiang Xingye, "Hey hey hey, don’t leave, if you both go, I’ll get nervous. What if my blood pressure and heart rate have problems then?"
"Then don’t go!" Jiang Xingye pulled back his clothes, mercilessly refusing.
Jiang Xingjun also scolded him "Coward," Jiang Xingwei raised a fist, "Want me to bash you?"
"Bash away, so disrespectful, let’s see if others still want you?"
Xu Qinghuan came familiarly to the door of Li Shouzhi’s office, seeing the soldier brother guarding the entrance, she lowered her voice and asked, "Uncle Li has guests? Is he discussing things with someone?"
Not having time to speak, inside, Li Shouzhi asked, "Is it Huanhuan? We’re done talking, you can come in now!"
Jian Jingchuan sat motionless, his eyes never lifted, but the tea in the cup spilled, amber droplets trickling down his hand.
