In Jinmen, in the courtyard of a small foreign-style building full of flowers, Wei Ran was holding a pair of pruning scissors, clicking and pruning the flowers and plants growing wantonly under the courtyard wall and in the flower beds.

On the terrace on the third floor, Suisui was leading the girls to replant the empty flowerpots of flowers and plants that had failed to survive in the previous few months.

This is already the fifth day since they returned from Yue Di. In the past few days, they had been running back and forth between their grandma's house and Suisui's accomplice's company in the capital every day from nine to five.

The reason why they came to Jinmen early after "getting off work" yesterday was because Qin II called in advance - the bees that Cha Xifeng owed him had been shipped in.

"I don't know if the flowers in the yard are enough for the bees to eat..."

Wei Ran muttered secretly, and then turned to look at the idle boiler room that he had entrusted his uncle, the contractor, to help renovate in the past three days - that was the place where he planned to raise bees, even though he had originally

I planned to leave this house to Beria.

Just as he was secretly thinking about bees, Qin Er drove his old Land Cruiser and parked at the door with a domestic pickup truck.

Without even needing to say hello, Xia Shushi had already pushed open the door and got out of the car, and helped push open the ajar door without anyone noticing.

Immediately afterwards, with the roar of their engines, the two cars also drove into the courtyard one after another. They waited until Xia Shushi bolted the solid wood courtyard door again before turning off the engines.

When Wei Ran put down the pruning scissors in his hand, the doors of the two cars also opened one after another.

"You are finally here"

Wei Ran took the initiative to say hello to Zha Xifeng and his adopted son Zhan Zhan, and then looked at Zhong Zhen who got out of Qin Er's car.

Zhongzhen was wearing a bunny hat on his head. He was also wearing a mask and sunglasses under the hat. He was covering himself even more tightly than those self-righteous 18-tier starlets.

"Brother Wei Ran, thanks to Mr. Qin's help, I brought the bees."

Zha Xifeng shook hands with Wei Ran and said first, "We drove all the way from Dian Province."

“Thank you for your hard work”

Wei Ran shook hands with the other party, but Zhan Zhan next to him had already opened the rear panel of the pickup truck, pulled out a beehive modified from a grenade box and asked, "Mr. Wei, where do you plan to keep this box of bees?"

"

"There it is"

Wei Ran first raised his chin towards Qin II and the others to signal them to go in first, and then led Zha Xifeng and his son to the boiler room in the corner.

In order to raise such a box of unnecessary bees, Wei Ran spent a lot of money. Not only did he modify the doors and windows, but he also covered them with a layer of lightly carbonized fir boards.

"Have squad leader Dao and his comrades been buried?" Wei Ran opened the door of the boiler room and asked while spreading smoke for Zha Xifeng.

"Buried"

Zha Xifeng took the cigarette and lit it, and took advantage of the time to lay out the beehives and introduced, "On the third day after you secretly left, my father's two comrades were also taken back by military representatives and buried in the Martyrs Cemetery.

There were originally their tombs there.”

My father was also buried on the same day. He was not at the Martyrs Cemetery, but he was also buried near Laoshan. He was buried with his wife and children. Uncle Lu told me that his child who died in infancy was named Dao Yuanyue."

"When my child is born, his name will be Dao Yuanyue."

Zhan, who was busy arranging the beehives, added without looking back, "From now on, my children's children will always have Dao as their surname. Those old men agreed."

"That day, we also took a group photo in front of the grave of my father's comrade-in-arms."

Having said this, Zha Xifeng took out a photo frame from her arms and handed it to Wei Ran, "Qingyan also went when we took the group photo, and uncle Yuejin's son and uncle Zhanzhan's daughter also came back.

It was taken with an old camera provided by Uncle Lu, and Lu Ming asked me to give this group photo to you as a souvenir."

Hearing this, Wei Ran took the photo frame and looked over. Among the green pines and cypresses, several veterans were wearing large five-leaf camouflage, or wearing chest slings on their chests, or carrying mine detectors, or carrying outdated military equipment.

Radio station, and holding various weapons in his hands, but obviously, those weapons are just relatively similar models.

As for the younger generation, including Zha Xifeng, they all wore bunny hats. The only difference was that this time the bunny hat on Luo Qingyan's head was pressed extremely low, so that it completely blocked him.

Profile of face that appears to be wearing a mask.

Others, regardless of age or sex, only have calm and solemn faces, but they no longer need to apply thick layers of oil paint or wear dense five-leaf masks.

Even the portrait of Squad Leader Dao held in Zha Xifeng's arms was an old photo taken during the Dongfeng mission, without a mask or camouflage oil.

"When we come back, come here and take a photo without (mask)"

Inexplicably, Wei Ran remembered the agreement initiated by Platoon Leader Luo before setting off on the Dongfeng mission, and then subconsciously looked at Luo Qingyan, the only person in the photo who had intentionally covered his face.

The Dongfeng mission is over, but it is obvious that the Dongfeng mission is not over yet. At least Luo Qingyan has inherited the Dongfeng mission and continues to carry out the mission of using the east wind to overwhelm the west wind in this new era.

"I will keep this photo well," Wei Ran promised seriously.

"I have another gift to give you," Cha Xifeng said with a smile.

"what gift?"

When Wei Ran saw that Zhang Zhan had arranged the beehive, he asked curiously, locked the door of the boiler room, and led the father and son into the living room on the first floor.

"The Bayi rifle my father left behind"

Zha Xifeng explained with a smile, "It is already on its way to Kazan. It was sent there together with another hive bee. I asked Comrade Chaning to obtain completely legal collection procedures for it. It will also be kept in the future."

You can commemorate it."

"I will put it in the most conspicuous place in my library for permanent display." Wei Ran made a serious promise.

"I believe you will keep these things well." Before Zha Xifeng finished speaking, she had already followed Wei Ran into the lobby on the first floor.

At this time, the two little girls Lola and Lu Xinda had already helped bring hot tea, but Zhong Zhen had not taken off the hat on his head or the mask on his face until this moment.

"Brother Wei Ran, Soseki and I are not here to look for you this time."

Qin Er didn't wait for Wei Ran to sit down, then pointed at Suisui who came down from the second floor, "We brothers are here to talk to the director of Aurora about film shooting and marketing. You left in a hurry last time. These things

We didn’t even have time to talk about it.”

"I know, where are you talking?"

“Let’s go upstairs”

Suisui glanced at Zhong Zhen who was sitting on the sofa and didn't ask any questions. She rolled up her arms and sleeves and waved to Qin Er, then led the two brothers and Anfisa towards the second floor.

Walk.

A few of them went up, but Marta, Anfiya, Lucinda and Lola stayed on the first floor.

"Let's find a place to sit too."

Wei Ran stood up as he spoke, walked to the door of the storage room and opened the locked door.

Seeing this, Zha Xifeng and his son, who had just sat down, and Zhong Zhen, who had been silent just now, also stood up and followed Wei Ran. Even Anfiya and Marta followed, but Lola and

The two little girls, Lu Xinda, were guarding the hall on the first floor.

It wasn't until he entered the cool, dry basement that Zhong Zhen took off his hat and mask after looking around at the frosted glass on the surrounding windows.

"Sit anywhere"

Wei Ran invited everyone to sit down and said straight to the point, "Mr. Cha, I would like to introduce a business to you."

"Introducing a business?" Zha Xifeng raised his eyebrows, "What business?"

"I heard from Brother Yang that the demining company under your name has some operating problems?"

Hearing this, Zha Xifeng was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but reveal a hint of hope. Then, he suppressed his excitement and answered with a frank response, "There are indeed some problems. Last year, my company was in Cambodia."

Some accidents occurred during demining, which cost me a very large amount of money and caused some problems in the capital chain."

“Would you like to sell your demining company?”

Zhong Zhen lit a cigarette and said casually, "I plan to find someone to come forward to acquire 55% of the equity of Dongfeng Demining Company, but your people will still be responsible for the daily operations."

Hearing this, Zha Xifeng subconsciously looked at Wei Ran.

"Don't look at him, this is just a normal investment."

Zhong Zhen continued, "Mr. Wei is going to help you. I happen to owe Mr. Wei a favor, just like you owe Mr. Wei a favor now. The reason is that simple."

Before Zha Xifeng could speak, Zhong Zhen continued, "As far as I know, Mr. Cha was looking for a buyer at the beginning of this year and planned to sell part of his equity to ensure that Dongfeng Mine Clearance Company can still operate normally and to purchase some mine clearance equipment."

Zha Xifeng nodded, "Indeed, it does happen."

"Do you still have any plans to accept investment now?" Zhong Zhen asked in hot pursuit.

Looking gratefully at the smiling Wei Ran, Zha Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, "Sir, we can talk."

"In this case, let's wait for an appointment."

Zhong Zhen said and glanced at Wei Ran, "Now let's give time to Mr. Wei."

"Thank you very much"

Wei Ran pretended to be polite and nodded towards Zhong Zhen, who was also pretending to be a big-tailed wolf, and then said to Zha Xifeng, "I want to introduce the second person to you, the lady next to me.

Her name is Marta, she is from Wudong and she is my personal doctor. Mr. Cha, Marta plans to invest in your Dongfeng Demining School."

“Invest in Dongfeng Demining School?”

Zha Xifeng couldn't react for a moment, and even Zha Zhang, who was in charge of the demining school, looked surprised.

Taking Wei Ran's hint, Marta nodded and said in English, "Mr. Charlie, I plan to purchase part of the equity of your Dongfeng School. In exchange, I hope that Dongfeng School can help me train a group of people with sufficient demining and demining skills every year.

Combat engineer with minelaying experience.”
