Cheng Man was busy here, and he didn't send it until three days later.

Lin Wei and the others also arrived at their destination and found a local house to live temporarily.

This house was found by the old man introduced by Li Shi.

It is not very convenient for them to stay in a hotel, not that they have no money, but they need to have a certificate and a letter of introduction when they stay, and if they are men and women traveling together, then the checks are even stricter.

After everything settled and a few people rested, Lin Wei took He Sheng and Zhao Quanliang to find the old man, saying that he was looking for a restaurant for everyone to eat and talk about the matters that need to be paid attention to here.

This side has a border with foreign countries, and some customs really have to be taken to heart. If you accidentally mess with the locals because of customs or beliefs, you really can't eat and carry around.

Not to mention the light, to put it seriously, it is possible to die.

The old man's surname is Zhao, his full name is unknown, and he only heard others call him Zhao Yan. They couldn't call an old man like this, and he didn't say his full name, so they had to call him Zhao Lao.

At this time, he sat on the throne, looked at a few people, and smiled, "You don't have to be so restrained in front of me, you can do whatever you want." ”

This attitude is completely different from the first time I met him.

Lin Wei: They were a little unable to come back to their senses.

Seeing them like this, the old man glanced at the door first, and then lowered his voice, "It's been a bit unpeaceful here lately, it's all a dull atmosphere, no matter how happy I am to see you, I have to hold on." ”

Not to mention anything else, just with those two bottles of Moutai, plus some malt milk essence and some daily necessities, he was also very satisfied with the etiquette of these people.

He spoke with a smile in his eyes, and seemed a little funny and lively.

Lin Wei and the others are not squirming people, and they became casual when they saw this.

The old man seemed to be facing his grandchildren, babbling everything he knew, and at the end he asked if there was anything to ask.

Zhao Quanliang is a little more bold because he has the same surname as Zhao Lao, and he is young, he just heard what Zhao Lao said is not peaceful, and he wanted to ask, asking why it is not peaceful.

But Lin Wei and He Sheng gave him a look, plus he really wanted to listen to the attention and taboos here, so he couldn't bear to ask.

Seeing that there was nothing more to say at this moment, he asked what he had been wanting to ask all along.

"There are still some problems of precedence. Zhao Lao sighed, "There are too many people who have been decentralized, although they are allowed to return, but they still have to be divided into batches, and some people are afraid that there will be no benefit in returning to the city late, and even the work may not be arranged, so they protest ......."

As for what kind of protest law, they can imagine it without Zhao Lao elaborating.

Therefore, everyone tacitly did not ask.

Zhao Quanliang and He Sheng often run outside, and they have a more intuitive feeling than Lin Wei, they saw that Zhao Lao had relatives in front of him, and raised a glass and touched Zhao Lao.

Lin Wei drank boiled water, and saw that they were in touch for a moment, and he was speechless for a while.

"In fact, the more chaotic it is, the more it is when others take advantage of the loopholes. Zhao Lao had two dividends on his face, and sighed, "In fact, no matter when, no matter whether it is developed or backward, there is always a poisonous flow in." Since last year, there has been no stability here, and I'm afraid that something will harm us again. ”

Opium in the Qing Dynasty, at this time-

Alas, hopefully the fighters on the border will be more cautious.

"Old Zhao is open-minded, our younger generation still has to learn, respect Zhao Lao!"

He Sheng picked up the wine glass and said simply, "We are not outsiders, and we don't need you to pour me wine, I will pour you wine, just this one glass, let's stop after drinking." ”

The old man is also old, and the wine hurts his body, so it's better to order it.

Zhao Lao nodded, and was also happy to have a few people who could speak, so he stuffed this glass of wine before saying to Lin Wei, "Li Shi's kid is a good one, his family conditions are not good, if he hadn't joined the army, he might have become a second-rate son in society." Thank you for his leadership!"

He didn't know which leader Li Shi was, but they should know each other after all.

Just bring the words.

"Li Shi is very good, sunny and motivated, and has a lot of enthusiasm. Lin Wei commented seriously, "I think he is very good, even if he doesn't join the army, his heart is there, and he will definitely not become a social moth." Old Zhao, you are really too modest. ”

Zhao's wife died early, and Li Shi's family secretly helped him, and he treated Li Shi like a grandchild.

Zhao Lao knew that Lin Wei was complimenting, but he also knew that what she said was also the truth, so he was happy in his heart, and said, "Actually, last year, I had already decided to wash my hands in a golden basin." It's just that there are a lot of things in the middle, and I haven't had time to hold this ceremony yet. Now that you're here, I'll strike again. ”

Lin Wei stood up and replaced the wine with tea to show his gratitude.

"Don't thank me first, there is another premise for me to make a move, you can decide whether to agree or not after listening. Zhao Lao sat steadily, waved his hand, and motioned for her to sit down.

Lin Wei sat down, "You say." ”

"I may be a bit over-the-top for this, but I still want to say it. If you say yes, I'll do it. Zhao Lao pondered for a while and looked at her seriously. "If we can't reach an agreement, please ask for another master. ”

He is old, he doesn't know how many days he has to live, and he doesn't want to go around some things, no matter how ugly the words are, he said them.

"I want you to promise me that if Li Shi is discharged from the army, please help him stand up, and take out 20% of the jade material you have obtained this time to really help the retired people or military families. ”

Lin Wei and He Sheng are all people who have made promises, He Sheng listened to it at this time, and suddenly fell silent, what a big mess this should be, he can't imagine it now.

Twenty percent of the jade material obtained, according to Zhao Lao's strong confidence, it may not be a small amount.

And really helping some people, that's not something that can be solved by giving money. Society is changing too fast, and people's adaptability is strong and weak, and to really help them, they must be taught the means of survival.

Once this is spread, it is really not something that can be left alone.

Perhaps more than 20 percent is spent......

And what does it mean to stand up?

This statement is too general.

He Sheng couldn't make a decision for a while.

They had originally prepared 100,000 yuan to buy jade, but gold was priceless and jade was priceless, and no one knew how much the 100,000 would become.

Lin Wei was silent for a while, looked at Zhao Lao, and asked seriously, "The first layer of your precondition is to hope that after Li Shi retires from the army, I can help him stand up." I don't need you to say this, since I have accepted his affection, I will naturally help him. ”

"But what is the standard for this to stand, according to your request?"

Eat and dress warmly, or you can stand up.

The same can be said for a small fortune.

The same is true of the rich, the rich.

I don't know what the old man's request is, what is the level?
