"So what you mean by open source is earning foreign exchange? Foreign exchange isn't that easy to come by."
"Dad, this is just a small suggestion. The specifics of how to implement it will ultimately be decided by the leaders."
Fang Zhenhua didn't intend to claim any credit for this, because the time wasn't right.
Three years later, there will be another major battle in the southern border region. Fang Zhenhua wants to take advantage of that battle to further improve himself.
It would be a good time for him to do other things after that battle was over.
To put it bluntly, he was giving Liu Zhongming a heads-up in advance, so that this matter would leave an impression on him.
My father-in-law is in charge of the Fifth Ministry of Machinery Industry, which is a legitimate weapons industry.
There's a long road ahead! Shadama and Horminy will be fighting for another seven years, and there's also that behemoth in the north.
Fang Zhenhua realized that he could receive a lot of credit.
If we can take this opportunity to forge a golden statue, then the eldest nephew can pave his way however he wants.
The Qi family and the Fang family were originally one family.
Chapter 19 Marriage
Fang Zhenhua stayed in Beijing for half a month, and then Qi Dashan and his wife, along with Qi Tongwei, arrived in Beijing.
For Qi Tongwei, apart from the time of his engagement, he hadn't seen his uncle for a long time.
His parents were always busy when he was young, so his uncle raised him.
Sometimes, Qi Tongwei's relationship with his uncle even surpasses that with his parents.
After picking up his sister and brother-in-law at the train station, Fang Zhenhua frowned when he saw Qi Tongwei's somewhat worn clothes.
"Sister, I send my allowance home every month, why should Tongwei dress so shabbily? If I remember correctly, these clothes are mine from back then, right?"
Fang Lan smiled, her smile revealing a simple and honest nature.
“I’ve saved up all your allowance for you to get married. Now that you’re getting married, you’ll need money for everything. You can’t rely on your father-in-law’s family for everything.”
"Although our family is poor, we must have backbone and not let others look down on us."
Fang Zhenhua was both amused and exasperated.
"Sis, no matter how much money we need, we can still buy clothes and shoes. Tongwei, come here."
"Today, your uncle will take you around the capital and buy you new clothes and shoes."
Qi Tongwei is thirteen years old this year (by Chinese reckoning). He is undeniably handsome. It is said that nephews often resemble their uncles, and with Fang Zhenhua as his uncle, Qi Tongwei's appearance is unlikely to be far off.
After patting his eldest nephew on the head, Fang Zhenhua picked up his luggage.
Fang Lan asked from the side.
"Zhenhua, which guesthouse are we going to this time?"
"Why go to a guesthouse? My father-in-law said we should stay at home."
"This...this isn't a good idea, is it?"
"Who dares disobey my father-in-law's orders?"
A high-ranking official is a high-ranking official; they're different.
After returning to the compound with her sister and brother-in-law's family, the Liu family showed an extremely warm welcome.
Liu Zhongming canceled his evening drinking party and ate at home instead. Qi Dashan, who was not good with words, didn't know what to say, so he could only drink one glass after another to keep him company.
Although he didn't say anything, his attitude spoke volumes; he was grateful.
After dinner, Liu Fei sighed in her room.
"My sister and brother-in-law are both good people."
"I was raised by the two of them."
The young couple's words were enough to set the tone.
The next day, Fang Zhenhua took Qi Tongwei on a aimless stroll around Beijing. On Longevity Hill, Fang Zhenhua sat on a rock and opened a bottle of Coke for Qi Tongwei.
Seeing Qi Tongwei's furrowed brows, Fang Zhenhua chuckled.
"How's it going? Does it taste good?"
"taste not good."
"Hahaha."
That kid who couldn't even afford sneakers is now drinking Coca-Cola.
Fang Zhenhua patted Qi Tongwei's head and asked.
"I remember you're in the second year of junior high this year, right?"
"How are the results?"
"First in the class."
Qi Tongwei raised his head, tilting his small face upwards, looking extremely proud.
"You're better than your uncle. What university do you want to go to in the future?"
"Handong University."
Why not Peking University or Tsinghua University?
"Hehe." Qi Tongwei looked a little embarrassed; he was still just a child!
"I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it."
"Handong University is not bad. Keep up the good work, and you will become the first college student in our family."
Handong University, as the top-ranked key university in Handong Province, may not be as prestigious as Yanda or Tsinghua University, but in another ten years or so, it will be a genuine 985 university.
"Uncle, I will definitely try my best."
"Hmm!" Fang Zhenhua nodded, then looked up at the sky and asked.
"Tongwei, do you think the sky is high?"
"Do you think the mountain we're standing on is higher?"
Qi Tongwei looked around, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"Haha, but there are mountains higher than this one, and there are heavens above heavens. So there are mountains beyond mountains, and heavens beyond heavens. Do you understand?"
Qi Tongwei frowned, thought for a long time, then scratched his head and smiled.
"not understand."
"You'll understand when you grow up, Tongwei! Remember, a person should stand tall with their head held high and feet firmly on the ground. Only by having a clear conscience can one be stable. Do you know why your uncle fought so desperately on the battlefield?"
"for what?"
"On one hand, it's for our family; on the other hand, I have the motherland and the people behind me. No matter what, you must remember that studying hard is to serve the country and benefit the people. You must always keep in mind that the Party and the country, the Party and the people are our eternal support."
Qi Tongwei was raised without guidance; no one taught him. In order to gain more power, he single-mindedly climbed the ranks, ultimately falling into a dark abyss.
But in this life, with Fang Zhenhua as his uncle, Qi Tongwei has a guide. With Fang Zhenhua's constant guidance, Qi Tongwei can walk a more upright and honorable path.
It's okay if he doesn't understand now. As his uncle, he will educate him little by little so that he can become a true party member and cadre, instead of the public security chief who committed suicide by shooting himself at Lone Eagle Ridge.
No matter how high your official rank is, you can't hold your position if you're detached from the people.
After half a month of preparation, Fang Zhenhua and Liu Fei's wedding took place as scheduled.
His comrades were far away in the southern border region and couldn't come back, but Wu Shuang brought his sister-in-law, Liu Lan, with him.
The Liu family also has a son who is now 35 years old and has entered politics. He is currently serving as the vice mayor of Wenshan City, Hanjiang Province.
He was too busy with official duties to get away from it.
However, the brother-in-law, Liu Anguo, still made a phone call to congratulate his sister and brother-in-law, and even asked his wife to specially return to Beijing to attend the wedding banquet.
The military general hospital allocated a house to Liu Fei, not only because of the Liu family's influence, but also because Liu Fei's teacher was no ordinary person.
The renowned father of surgery.
Fang Zhenhua and Liu Fei's wedding was not a grand affair, but it was a low-key yet extremely important event.
A group of elderly people attended the wedding; they were all old comrades-in-arms of Liu's father, many of whom now hold high positions.
A middle-aged man arrived halfway through the wedding.
Upon seeing this person, no one dared to remain seated. Although this person was merely a secretary, the leader behind him was no ordinary individual!
Fang Zhenhua taught Qi Tongwei that there are heavens beyond heavens, and what those heavens beyond heavens are is self-evident.
Liu Zhongming greeted him with a smile.
"Director Wang, what brings you here?"
"Old Liu, I'm here on the orders of the commander."
Liu Zhongming's eyes widened slightly, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.
Director Wang continued.
"The chief knows that your daughter is getting married today. He is too busy to come in person, so he asked me to send a calligraphy piece as a gift for the newlyweds."
"This...this...my daughter's wedding, how could we dare to disturb the commander!"
"Old Liu, you are also a national hero. How could the leader forget you? Take a look at this calligraphy."
As Director Wang was about to open the scroll, Fang Zhenhua quickly came over to help.
Director Wang smiled.
"Then we'll have to trouble the groom?"
"As you should, sir."
This calligraphy is actually a poem.
"Frosty blades cleave through thirty provinces, battle robes half-rolled up, thick with blood. Dragon Abyss tempers the colors of mountains and rivers, jade bones exude the spirit of chivalry for a thousand autumns."
All the guests were secretly startled when they saw the poem.
At this moment, Director Wang spoke again, but this time he looked at Fang Zhenhua.
"The commanders have heard about your deeds on the battlefield, and the old man gave you a five-word evaluation."
"Heroes emerge from youth."
Old Liu has a really good eye!
The Zhao family's son is a piece of pure gold that has been covered in dust, and this young son-in-law has even won the praise of the leader.
In addition, there's the eldest son of the Liu family.
It seems the Liu family is about to take off in the capital!
Chapter 20 Formation of the Reconnaissance Brigade
After the wedding, Fang Zhenhua and his wife returned to their own home.
Looking at his cheerful little home, Fang Zhenhua put his hands on his hips and couldn't help but grin.
I never imagined that I would have a home in Beijing in this lifetime.
What are you laughing at?
His wife, Liu Fei, asked curiously.
"Comrade Liu Fei, we finally have legal protection now."
Liu Fei couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"What is morality? I've been holding back for so many years, all for this day."
Liu Fei smiled and pinched Fang Zhenhua's cheek.
"How come I never noticed before that you, Company Commander Fang, had a lecherous side?"
"Mencius said, 'Food and sex are human nature.' The relationship between men and women is a natural law that cannot be violated. Comrade Liu Fei, let's work harder to cultivate more next generations for our motherland."
