Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 289 Zhao Yonggang Returns ———————————————

That evening, after the guests returned, Jiang Ling sank into the sofa in the living room and told Dongming about Sun Honglei's boss.In the end, Jiang Ling finally let out his tiredness, a tiredness that would not be revealed in front of Zhang Fu: "Actually, when I agreed to invest in the afternoon, I felt quite strange—as if I wasn't making the decision myself."

Dongming was pouring water. Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at Jiang Ling, and walked towards Jiang Ling with two glasses of water.Jiang Ling took a glass of water, smiled lazily at Dongming instead of "thank you", and at the same time made room for Dongming.But Dongming put his glass of water on the tea table, sat down next to Jiang Ling, and embraced Jiang Ling: "Not used to it?"

"Yeah." Jiang Ling leaned into Dongming's arms, pressed her forehead against Dongming's cheek, rubbed it twice in distress, and then twice, "I think so. I tried my best to be calm and rational, but I decided to make such a large sum of money. The whereabouts of the funds, to me, is still a bit... quite weird."

"Then don't think about it." Dongming's lips curved, and he brushed away Jiang Ling's fine forehead hair: "Don't think about how much money it is, what kind of investment it is. Just remember, you are helping you Compatriots start a business, isn’t it good?”

"... start a business?"

"Isn't it? Start-up capital is important and essential. Of course management is equally important and indispensable."

"Ah."

"And, to be honest, I envy you."

"Well?"

"You are not far from your hometown, you are very lucky. In addition, because of your relationship, Mr. Zhang and the others can have a better starting line when they first start out. It doesn't feel bad to help them, right?"

Jiang Ling thought about it for a while, and then she smiled: "You're right, it doesn't feel bad." Jiang Ling snuggled into Dongming's arms comfortably, and emphasized: "Actually, it's pretty good."

After Dongming comforted Jiang Ling, he was a little depressed.However, while Jiang Ling was holding Dongming's arm, he had already groped up with his backhand and stroked Dongming's face.Dongming smiled because of this, bowed his head and kissed Jiang Ling: "Find some time to visit Mr. Zhang's store. In a few months, we can also visit Mr. Sun's."

"Great idea! Ah, yes, that cold dish will also open a store here in Fudu. I asked for it."

"Fudu opened a good one. The residents in the oasis plus the teachers and students of the military academy have a five-figure number, so the traffic should be enough. What's the name of the store?"

"It's not finished yet. According to Chinese, it's either 'Dasao' or 'Da Niang' or something like that. But Boss Sun is thinking about Qi Ya's culture and contacting language experts—he wants to find a suitable translation." Just like what KFC did when it entered the Chinese-speaking market.

"It is easy to name; but it is not easy to remember well."

"That's right, Mr. Zhang said that Boss Sun's hair has turned a lot of white because of this!"

*********
Things can't keep up with changes.Before the young couple found a rest day to visit Zhang Fu's first store, another piece of good news disrupted their plans...

——Zhao Yonggang is back from Skeeling!
……

No one likes to go to Skillin. The local garrison is facing the war directly. Occupational risks, work pressure, and psychological pressure are all very high. Long-term persistence will bring a load to the garrison, which is unbearable for ordinary soldiers-they are just human beings!Therefore, the front-line personnel are transferred once a year.Although if the situation is bad, the early troops will be temporarily used as reinforcements to extend the stationing period, but at most it will not exceed one and a half years.

Therefore, it is clear that Zhao Yonggang and his troops have not yet expired.

However, Zhao Yonggang was injured.

It was a routine mission. Zhao Yonggang's team, together with two other teams, delivered water and supplies to several small villages on the outskirts of the city. Because of yesterday's contact battle on the road outside the village, the power and water supply to this village was interrupted.Those pipes lay underground and were destroyed by the explosion.The strategy of Chia's military department is to gain the support of the locals, thereby reducing their burden on soldiers; Be a traitor.

Therefore, it was Qi Ya soldiers, not their compatriots, who sent qualified drinking water to those small villages.

It was obvious that both sides, Chia's garrison and the rebels, were aware of this.So Zhao Yonggang and the others were cautious and alert all the way, as if they were facing a big enemy.

Fortunately, there was nothing unusual on the road.However, when handing over and distributing drinking water and supplies to the heads of the four local villages, Zhao Yonggang and the others, a team of five people, still had to leave the mecha-this is stipulated in the regulations, in order to "communicate with the local people. Build a good relationship and earn their trust."

That's when the attack happened.

It was a young girl, eleven or twelve years old, with an oval face, who was growing up, slender and beautiful.So much so that one of Zhao Yonggang’s comrades-in-arms, a young man named Puri, whistled at her and gave her the extra chewing candy he brought——Zhao Yonggang and the others are located in a desert coastal area, and the folk customs are open. There's nothing wrong with whistling.In fact, it is conducive to the establishment of normal exchanges between the two parties.

The older Skilled men who were present at the time were delighted: the better their girls, the more they attract the opposite sex, and the prouder they are—because they are their girls!And younger ones, feel threatened: courtship competition and threats.

The girl was shy and could tell she was nervous, but she took the little gift anyway and tasted a bit of the candy.

Seeing this, Puri was very happy, tried to chat with her, and told her that he had two younger sisters, who were about the same age as her, who were going to school, and his salary was enough to help them enter college. Of course, part-time work was also necessary; She looked at the family photos she carried with her.

At the same time, the four of Zhao Yonggang and the others started to work: distributing supplies.

The four of them secretly decided to blackmail Puri when they went back, but they didn't disturb the rare happiness of the young soldier-Puri was the youngest of them.In other words, Puri's ability to withstand pressure is the weakest. He needs this kind of relaxation in fighting, killing enemies, and high-intensity day and night work.Simple, well-intentioned relaxation.

Unexpectedly, when Puri showed the oval-faced girl family photos and then asked to exchange names with her, the oval-faced girl suddenly turned and ran away.

Puri was inexplicable: "What's wrong with you?" He instinctively chased after him.However, Zhao Yonggang has rich experience and has already realized that something is wrong: "Bomb! Get down!" "Get down!" was shouted at the villagers, many of whom did not have translators, so Zhao Yonggang immediately changed the local language: "Get down! All Get down!"

Zhao Yonggang is the leader of the squad, and a private first class or corporal can manage a squad.Puri obeyed instinctively, but more slowly than usual—he hesitated for a moment after stopping.As for the villagers, they were even slower: Qi Ya's soldiers knew what to do when they heard the word "bomb"; but the villagers, until Zhao Yonggang finished yelling, were still more than half confused.

The mechas of the other two teams cut forward resolutely and blocked Zhao Yonggang and the others: this is not the first time they have encountered this kind of bomb, and the mechas' protection is enough to protect them and keep them safe and sound!

The next moment, black and red scorching flames engulfed everything.

……

It was this girl, her only relative, her elder brother who secretly joined the rebel organization and died in yesterday's battle, leaving no bones or flesh left behind.

The people in the village didn't know all this, they all thought her brother was working in the city; after the Chia soldiers found out the reason, the whole village was shocked, people found that the neighbors for many years suddenly became unreliable, and finally they themselves launched a A census was conducted-because of this previous oversight, they lost fourteen husbands, fathers and sons, wives, mothers and daughters.

The girl had swallowed a bomb known colloquially as a "clack"—it was no bigger than an egg, which is why it got its common name; it exploded on time.

Mecha scanning can find this kind of bomb, but when the human body is wrapped in it, the cover of the human body, and the body temperature of the person itself will make the scanning dull, making it difficult to detect dangerous objects that are enough to overturn a large house. Find.

Two soldiers were killed instantly, including Puri, another who was recording the distribution of supplies among the villagers, nearer the direction in which the girl ran.

Zhao Yonggang was lucky. He lost a leg and suffered extensive burns.He and two other Chia soldiers were treated before being brain-dead.

At the same time, three of the four village chiefs died, and the people who came with them to transport water and supplies were also seriously injured.

Qi Ya also provided them with the same treatment as Zhao Yonggang and the others.Coupled with diplomacy, the four villages have become more inclined to Chia after this raid—their compatriots don’t mind taking them to be buried with them in order to kill one or two Chia soldiers, so who else can they trust? ?
Except Chia.

In their homeland, they only have Chia soldiers who can be trusted...

……

The garrison seized the opportunity to work, even using the attack as a model for propaganda.

These work great.Because not all Skierins hate Chias.In fact, for the low-level people who accounted for more than 60.00% of the population, their lives were much better after the Chia people arrived-of course, this comparison only refers to daily life, and does not take into account the battles and explosions that occur from time to time .

This is because in the original Skilling, the gap between the rich and the poor was extremely wide.Senior officials in the government and army live like kings in slavery, with extravagance.The monthly income of a teacher or doctor, even if it is only used for daily consumption, can only cover one to two weeks.

You know, in terms of productivity alone, Skilling is richer than the earth!Its technology is more advanced than that of the earth, and the material value it creates every year is more than that of the earth.

Therefore, at present, most Skilling people want not only the relatively peaceful life in the past, but also a better material life today, including food safety and medical security.
