Chapter 8: Flowers in the Dust
Zhao Mingding handed over the $1.7 million to the soldier who commanded loudly, originally intended to divide it to the 16 people who were fighting against him, but unexpectedly, he gave $100,000 to each of the four regiment commanders, $100,000 to the chief of staff of the headquarters, $100,000 to the 14 people who were eliminated in front of him with full marksmanship, and the remaining $1.1 million was divided equally by the 16 people.
The soldier who commanded was about 20 years old, of medium stature, about 1.75 meters tall, although his skin was dark, but he was heroic, and he was agile in the process of fighting, advanced and retreated moderately, and commanded properly. The most commendable thing is to consider things more thoroughly, not to see profit and forget righteousness, and to know how to share.
"What's your name?" Zhao Mingding asked.
"Li Qin."
"Haha, okay, Li Qin, you will lead these 16 people to be my guard, you will be the captain, and you will choose another person to be your helper as the vice captain." Zhao Mingding added, "The 14 people who were all full of marksmanship just now also joined the guard. The guard was divided into two teams, one for my estate and one for Li
DA's estate. If you don't have enough people, you're responsible for picking a few more. ”
"Yes, sir!" Li Qin saluted and went down with the gang.
At the headquarters, Gan Shuang arranged an office for Zhao Mingding and asked him to come to work when he was free. Power comes out of the barrel of a gun, this is a wise saying.
After Gan Shuang took Zhao Mingding out of the headquarters of the Independent Army, he took him to the government office building, and also gave him an office in the office building, met with the main leaders of various departments, had a meal together, and then withdrew. The government department is busy, and Zhao Mingding doesn't want to get involved too early.
What Gan Shuang gave to Zhao Mingding as an official residence was the manor before Enbanla. As the leader of the time, his manor was not only large, but also beautiful and sturdy, all built according to the requirements of nuclear explosion, and there were also escape routes in all directions underground, and there was also a helicopter on standby.
For the sake of safety, the security of the manor was in charge of Li Qin, who had just been promoted to the captain of the guard, according to the previous arrangement, a company of troops was arranged in the manor, and a company was also stationed outside the manor, forming a guard.
Gan Ruyi's work efficiency is very high, and when Gan Shuang decided to give the manor before Enbanla to Zhao Mingding as an official residence, he began to renovate it, and the decoration was completed within three days. This reminded Zhao Mingding of the engineering corps of the Independent Army. Otherwise, it won't make sense.
On the day Zhao Mingding moved in, Zeng Xiaorou also came, and in the future, this will be her nominal home.
The motortrip departed from Ganshuang's manor, passed through the downtown area, and then turned west, along a wide, sturdy but hidden cement road towards the mountains, the winding road was lined with lush trees, except for the roar of car motors, the sound of the breeze blowing through the trees, and the air was intoxicating.
About more than ten kilometers walked, came to a valley, the entrance is very narrow, with a small gatehouse built with rocks, the gatehouse is embedded with a piece of red marble in the middle of the top, engraved "Lingxin Garden" three gilt characters.
On the red marble embedded on both sides, there is a couplet, which is also gilded: incense is condensed overnight; Three more wine sober stay guests.
The engraved word is Chu Sui Liang Yan Pagoda Holy Religious Preface book body, the strokes are strong, and the font is beautiful.
Next to the small gatehouse there was a small two-story building, also made of rock, in which lived guards, and when they saw the car coming, they lifted the barrage from a distance. When passing the small gatehouse, the driver honked his horn, which was regarded as a response to the salute of the guards, and did not slow down, but still rushed by, and drove along the zigzag cement road for about ten minutes before stopping the car in a parking lot paved with hollow cement floor tiles halfway up the mountain.
On the opposite side of the parking lot, there are seven or eight small villas of different heights surrounded by green shrubs of half a person's height, with blue bricks and red tiles, exquisite and abnormal, the surrounding trees are verdant, the valley bottom stream is murmuring, the distant mountains are surrounded by clouds and mist, the scenery is beautiful, and it makes people think that they have arrived in a paradise.
In this situation, Zhao Mingding felt as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he had to give up.
"This is a resort?" After Zhao Mingding got out of the car, he asked Gan Ruyu, who was with Zeng Xiaorou on the side.
The main room is here, and she has to use all means to please and please the other party.
Seeing her pose to Zeng Xiaorou with a posture and appearance of a dog shaking her head and tail, Zhao Mingding's heart couldn't help but feel hot, and he remembered a sentence in Zengguang Xianwen: A virtuous wife and a husband have few disasters, and a son is filial to his father.
At the same time, I remembered what Zhang Ailing said:
Like a person, you will be sad to the dust, and then blossom.
I love you, I don't have any purpose, I just love you, I love you to the dust, and you just stop and look at me, just that look, and I feel that everything in the world is eclipsed in an instant, without brilliance.
Looking at Gan Ruyi's parents again, they seemed to turn a blind eye to her words and deeds, didn't care, and smiled on their faces, which was quite gratifying.
Zhao Mingding suddenly felt a pain in his chest, like being hammered, and secretly said in his heart: This woman is so attached to me, humble to the dust, if I bear her, heaven will not tolerate it.
He seems to have always stood in the other party's position, thinking about others, and didn't even think to ask himself: Do I love her or not?
"What kind of resort is this, this is your official residence!" Gan Rujiao smiled, "How is it, is the gate as you want?" ”
"Where did you get the inspiration to design like that?" Zhao Mingding was a little puzzled.
"You're such a noble person." Gan Ruyi smiled and said, "You once talked to us about the first time you went to Sister Xiaorou's house in your dream, and the entrance gate you saw was like that. I was quite puzzled at the time, and said to myself, how can your dream be the same as the gate at the entrance to General Nbanla's manor? Well, now it's a dream come true. Congratulations! ”
"Speak well, don't give you goosebumps." Zhao Mingding turned his head, "Xiaorou, do you like the scenery here?" ”
"This place of peace is my hometown." Zeng Xiaorou smiled faintly and did not answer directly.
Zhao Mingding didn't ask again. Here she is right now, and the best answer is that.
Zhao Mingding's office and rest place are in the same building.
The first floor is the reception, the second floor is the dining room, the third floor is the conference room, the fourth floor is the office, the fifth floor is the bedroom and study, and the sixth floor is the practice room.
Gan Ruyu decorated the fifth floor into three bedrooms: in the middle is Zhao Mingding's bedroom and study, on the left hand side is Zeng Xiaorou's bedroom, and on the right hand side is Gan Ruyi's bedroom.
On the rooftop, Gan Ruyu also placed some precious flowers and plants.
Although Gan Ruyu is naughty, she looks very arrogant on the surface, but in fact, she is as delicate as numbness, and after Gan and his wife go back, she began to arrange dinner.
"Good sister, I'll show my hand tonight, fry a few local dishes for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, it will take more than two hours to get better, you rest for a while, take a hot bath to relieve fatigue, and I'll call you again when the meal is good." After bringing Zeng Xiaorou to her room, Gan Ruyu went to the bathroom to help her put water, and before leaving, Zhao Mingding sat on the chair in front of the bed, "You accompany Sister Xiaorou and talk to her." ”
"This dead girl, her mind is quite lively, she just doesn't do good things." Looking at Gan Ruyu who walked out of the door, Zeng Xiaorou scolded with a smile, her eyes rolled, and she laughed, "Happy here, don't think about it?" ”
Jun asked that the return date was not scheduled, and the night rain in Bashan rose in the autumn pool.
Why should you cut the candles in the west window together, but talk about the night rain in Bashan?
Zhao Mingding stepped forward, took Zeng Xiaorou's hand, and put it on his chest: "This heart can learn from heaven and earth, and this love can be tomorrow and the moon!" ”
"You'll be poor and duplicitous!" Zeng Xiaorou couldn't help it, snorted, and laughed, as beautiful as a peach and plum.
Zhao Mingding's mood was rippling, he lowered his head, and kissed her fiery red lips.
Zeng Xiaorou raised her head very cooperatively and closed her eyes gently, but her hands were very resolute and did not let him break through the last line of defense.
Her slender hand, on his back, slowly wrote four words from top to bottom.
Zhao Mingding closed his eyes, felt it for a moment, opened his eyes, and asked, "Eight sedan chairs?" ”
"you!" Zeng Xiaorou blushed with shame. Although she didn't write these four words, the meaning was almost the same.
What she wrote on his back was: Ming Media is getting married.
Looking at Zeng Xiaorou's shy smiling face, Zhao Mingding was in a trance. He remembered that his grandmother once said to him: Eight sedan chairs carry everyone's ladies, and Ming Media is marrying a perfect body. Son, if you meet a girl you like in the future, you must be kind to others, think about others everywhere, and not be selfish.
"When I'm done, I'll go see your parents." Zhao Mingding took her hand, put it on his lips, and kissed it lightly.
After gaining a firm foothold in the second-in-command position of the second special zone in Kachin State, Zhao began to plan a trip to Egypt, going to Moses Saviris to explore the new United Nations badge pattern in the cliff cave, and at the same time taking the opportunity to train the Egyptian team for a familiar face so that he could command it in the future.
After contacting Moses Saviris and George, and after confirming the time, Zhao Mingding booked a plane ticket and went straight to Cairo, the capital of Egypt.
Cairo is the capital and largest city of Egypt and the largest city in Africa and the Arab world. Located at the southern end of the Nile Delta in northeastern Egypt, the city is a majestic and spectacular city that is the political, economic, cultural, commercial and transportation center of the entire Middle East.
Cairo consists of the provinces of Cairo, Giza, and Qalyub, commonly known as Greater Cairo.
Cairo is one of the oldest cities in the world. It is also one of the few ancient cities in the world that has suffered the least amount of war damage. Moreover, it has been continuously built and expanded by successive dynasties and governments, forming this large city where ancient and modern coexist and reflect each other.
In Cairo, the buildings that can be seen everywhere are mosques and minarets. In Arabic, the minaret is called "Minar", which refers to the place where the muezzin stands and calls people to prayer. Since the 7th century, with the widespread spread of Islam in West Asia and North Africa, the art of mosque architecture has continued to develop, and the minaret has evolved into a variety of different styles, becoming an indispensable part of mosque architecture and a highlight of Cairo's urban area.
Most of Cairo has a subtropical savanna-desert climate. The average temperature in summer is 34.2°C and 20.8°C is low, and in winter it is 19.9°C and 9.7°C is low.
On the way to the airport, looking at the information about Cairo in his hand, Zhao Mingding kept them firmly in his mind.
