Chapter 938 Visit Yue Shanhe again!
On September 4, Cao Dongfang took his mother and Song Xianxian to Chang'an to visit his uncle Yue. He was still conscious in the hospital, but it was too late and he died three days later.
There is nothing that can be done about it. I suffered a lot during the revolution, and some of the shrapnel in my body is still inside. I could withstand it when I was young, but as I get older...
Uncle Yue was very happy to see Cao Dongfang and the other two, and asked his eldest son to help him sit up.
After a few people greeted each other, Yue Shanhe smiled and said, "My life... has been worth it. It's a pity for Lao Cao that he didn't live to see good days....
I immediately went down to find him and told him that everything was fine at home and asked him not to worry, as he could not imagine Dongfang's future.
Uncle Yue spoke rather weakly, but everyone could hear the strong comradeship in his words.
"Uncle Yue, please take care of yourself. If there is anything you feel is not done well, I can help you with it." Cao Dongfang asked tentatively.
"No, no, as long as their business is not illegal, I believe they will be fine. Just mind your own business. Now that the rookie and Cardano are done, who will be next?"
"There are monkeys in the Philippines, several European countries, and people from the basin. Except for those who are dealing with the rookies, there is no rush for other times."
"Okay, okay! That's great. I didn't expect that I, Yue Shanhe, would have the honor of seeing us become number one in the world. Cough, cough, cough.... Yue Shanhe's cough was a sign of his condition aggravating.
Watching them rescuing again, because Yue Shanhe's rank is very high, and Cao Dongfang next to him is even higher in rank, although rescuing people at this time is troublesome, but it is also a great achievement, isn't it?
Twenty minutes later, Yue Shanhe's physical condition returned to normal. However, the doctor told him not to get excited anymore, as the patient could not stand such stimulation, which would make his condition worse rapidly.
Mom spoke a few more words to Yue Shanhe. Cao Dongfang saw that Uncle Yue was already very tired after only a few minutes.
Say goodbye and leave.
"Brother Yue, please prepare some white cloth belts for us, the kind that can be tied around the waist. I will come here often and attend Uncle Yue's funeral as his nephew.
Don't worry about Uncle Yue's food and drink anymore. It's all about these three days. You can prepare for the funeral. Goodbye. " Cao Dongfang said, and left with his mother Song Xianxian.
"Are you going to attend this funeral as Uncle Yue's nephew this time in order to continue helping Uncle Yue's family?" Song Xianxian asked.
"The three children are all engaged in business. Uncle Yue's death had a great impact on them. Their business revenue is tens of millions a year, a figure that some people would envy.
I showed up wearing a white ribbon to tell some people that I am also a junior of Uncle Yue, and I am attending the funeral not as a military officer, but as a junior.
"I've also heard that Uncle Yue has helped my family many times, so I have to return the favor."
"Of course there is no problem. It will be very difficult to meet in person in the future. The two places are thousands of miles apart. It is a mistake for these children not to go out."
"It's still afternoon, let's walk around here and see what Chang'an is like?"
"Take a look around. This place is still quite ordinary. It will be better in a few years."
After wandering around for less than an hour, Cao Dongfang and the other two decided to go home. This was still a little worse, and it was still mediocre even ten years later.
"Because of the geographical location of the West, they are still far behind the old city and the south. I will go to the south someday to see their level of development."
"become."
"Dad, how about I call them all over tomorrow to have a reunion dinner?" the eldest son asked Yue Shanhe in a crying voice.
"Dongfang said I only have a few days to live." Yue Shanhe understood what his eldest son meant.
"Dongfang said you only have three days left, so I don't have to stop eating you. You can eat whatever you want."
"We will have lunch in the lobby of this room tomorrow at noon. Prepare two bottles of Fenjiu for me. I haven't had a normal drink in almost half a year. I want to!"
"You can't finish two bottles of Fenjiu. Half a pound is enough for you." Boss Yue disagreed.
"You guys are sitting on the sidelines, acting as if you don't need to drink. I won't mistreat you. Let's all drink a few sips happily. We can still be father and son in the next life."
"Dongfang, this time you want your children and nephews to attend the funeral instead of presiding over it." Yue Laoduo said.
"Alas, I never thought Cao Dongfang would take things this far. If you follow his ideas, you won't have to worry about anything happening in the next 30 years.
He is my nephew, and thus your brother. No one dares to object. Dongfang has the intention, and we cannot refuse his kindness.
He is a real man just like his father. Your father has known them all his life, it's worth it! "Yue Shanhe was laughing.
"Dad, I'm going to go out and see if there's anything else I need to arrange. Do you mind if I bring it over directly?"
"What do you mind? Your father has few clothes to wear after stripping them from dead bodies. Just take them all and use them. There are no taboos. It will be fine when the time comes. Military uniform."
"Well, you always have a reason. I really admire you old people. You do everything without any taboos."
"We have lived more than 50 years longer than many of our comrades. We have lived enough. What else do we have to be afraid of?" Yue Shanhe smiled.
........
When they got home, before five o'clock, Sister Ma and Kuang Yourong were watching the two children playing together in the courtyard.
Not long after, Cao Jiajia came back and asked what happened. It seemed that everyone had returned to the courtyard early.
Cao Dongfang told the story of Yue Shanhe.
"Brother, is Uncle Yue really dead this time? How many days can he survive?" Cao Jiajia asked after returning home.
"Three days at most. You can just take two days off, the day of death and the day of the funeral. You don't have to go the rest of the time. I'll go by myself."
"I always remember the dried seafood sent by Uncle Yue. It seemed to be very delicious. But there was too little to eat during that period of time." Cao Jiajia just remembers eating it.
"Comrade Cao Jiajia, you ate well when you were young. Stop making excuses for how much you can eat. I'm too lazy to say anything to you." Cao Dongfang said with contempt.
"Jia Jia, your living standard is very high and you are lucky." said my mother seriously.
"Mom, I have never refuted this. I remember that we ate very well in 1955 and 1960. I have never denied these practical problems." Cao Jiajia said confidently.
"Uncle Yue only received a 1950-yuan allowance every month between 1952 and 5, when he served as a division commander and deputy army commander.
After the rating in 1952, the allowance was increased to 70 yuan, almost several times more.
Unexpectedly, when he returned from the Korean front, the military implemented a comprehensive salary system, and based on his deputy army-level status, his salary increased to more than two hundred yuan.
For the 1950s, this number was quite impressive.
Most ordinary workers earned only a few dozen yuan, and even in the early 1970s, earning a hundred or eighty yuan was considered a high income.
Uncle Yue has been helping us regardless of anything else, and we should repay him if we can.
Your brother's teacher is a Taoist priest, who believes in repaying kindness with kindness and taking revenge with pleasure, so that there is no grievance in the heart. "Cao Dongfang talked about the military allowances in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"I never expected that military salaries were so low before 1952. Mom, was my dad's allowance also so low back then?" Cao Jiajia asked.
"Every time we went out on a mission, we received a subsidy of one yuan. At that time, the steel mill was under military control, and there was no such thing as Loubancheng. All the steel was sent to the north.
They were only here to support the transportation of the steel mill and would leave after the battle. The steel mill was not worthy of his level, and the result was... "My mother was a little sad.
"Mom, let's not be sad anymore. Forty years have passed and we are living a good life now," Cao Jiajia advised.
"Ningning, Jingjing, play with your wife for a while. Your wife is a little sad."
"Okay, Grandpa."
