Wan Kuangxiao left the brigade in a car. Xu Yun didn't seem to have anything to do. Wang Yi took the three special forces teams to carry out their missions. The Dragon Brigade's training was going on as usual.
Xu Yun would only delay the others' training if he stayed, so he didn't have any intention of staying.
However, just as Xu Yun was about to leave, he recalled what Wan Kuangxiao had said to him earlier. The more Xu Yun thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss.
The old general's sudden change in behavior aroused Xu Yun's suspicion.
Xu Yun, who was about to leave, suddenly changed his mind. Although he had already called Ruan Qingshuang and the others to inform them that he would be back immediately, he still changed his route and went to the supermarket and seafood market.
Xu Yun bought several middle-aged and elderly nutritional products. They were all supplements such as bird's nest and donkey-hide gelatin. At the seafood market, she bought the fattest hairy crabs of this season, as well as many nutritious species such as sea cucumbers.
The general's wife's health had always been good, but Xu Yun felt that she should pay more attention to her health as she got older.
Eating more nutritious food to maintain a good health was better than not being able to bear to eat or drink and throwing all the money to the hospital for injections and medicine when she fell sick, right?
The hospital was really unhappy when they saw this. The profits from those drugs were almost as high as drugs.
The drug sellers had to admit that only those cosmetics that were more than a hundred times more profitable than the drug sellers. Of course, that was excluding the conscientious domestic product, Dabao. Take the popular SK-II Divine Water imported from Japan for example. It cost about six hundred yuan per bottle, and the endorsers were all famous celebrities. The cost would scare you to death. It cost 6.5 yuan per bottle! Wasn't it close to a hundred times?
Why were the facial masks and cosmetics so profitable on WeChat? It was because it was really profitable. If you could earn ten thousand yuan with a hundred yuan capital, of course it was profitable.
If there were any industries that were more profitable than drugs, it would probably be the online gaming industry and the alcohol industry. Even the profits from cigarettes could not be compared to drugs.
This was after taking into account the high cost of the equipment, the factory, and the high cost of research and development overseas. If these were not taken into account, the profits of the medicine could be said to be the highest.
Therefore, it was better for older people to eat more nourishing food. No matter what, it was better than taking medicine.
After all, smog, second-hand smoke, tobacco smoke, poisoned rice, gutter oil, hair soy sauce, fake flour, fake eggs, genetically modified food … All these things that could not be avoided could easily damage a person's body. Therefore, it was important to eat more nutritious food to prevent illness.
Xu Yun came to the door and pressed the doorbell. Immediately, he heard the sound of footsteps. "Did you forget to bring your key again?"
As soon as the door opened, Xu Yun stood at the door with some things in his hands. He smiled and said, "Aunt Wan."
"Aiya, I thought it was that old man. So it's Little Xu. Come in and have a seat." Aunt Wan said warmly, "Look at you, child. You're full of good points, but you're too polite! What kind of social atmosphere is this? You can't let this custom of bringing gifts become a habit. "
Xu Yun smiled as he was welcomed into the door. "Aunt Wan, I'm not sensible. I'm usually busy and don't have time to taste your cooking. It's not easy to come here. I must prepare some of my favorite ingredients."
Aunt Wan knew that Xu Yun was joking. "Your mouth is really good at talking."
"It's all thanks to the chief's good education." Xu Yun said as he carried the things into the kitchen. "You like to eat hairy crabs. These were just fished out from Yangcheng Lake and shipped to Beijing. They are very fat and yellow."
"Child, you are so considerate." Aunt Wan said, "Sit down and drink some water. Don't be busy."
"En!" Xu Yun put the things down and sat on the sofa. Aunt Wan made him a cup of tea.
"I heard from the old man that you can bring back our country's treasures this time. It's a big deal." Aunt Wan said, "Child, it's really hard on you."
Xu Yun was embarrassed. "Aunt Wan, this is not a big deal at all. Please don't say that. It makes me feel ashamed."
"This is not a big deal?! You know that our country has always had a unique feeling for cultural relics. " Auntie Wan said, "After all, it was our country that was looted. The Eight-Nation Alliance looted us once, the Dongying people looted us once, and the Kuomintang took away the remaining treasures when they left."
Xu Yun nodded. "It's quite shameless. It's just that the assets of the Jiang, Song, Kong, and Chen families stand at 80% of the country. When they left, not only did they take so much gold and silver, but they also took things."
"Yeah, think of those Mao Gong Ding, San Shi Plate, Jade Cabbage, Huangzhou Cold Food Calligraphy, Jiang Xing Chuxue Painting … It's really painful." Aunt Wan said.
Xu Yun smiled. "Aunt Wan, don't be too sad. After all, these things are still in the Taipei Museum. They are still our Hua Xia's things. At least they were not taken away by the Japanese. It's already very fortunate."
Hearing Xu Yun's words, Aunt Wan's heart really felt much better.
Although they were not in Beijing, the things were still in Hua Xia's territory. This was enough.
"Listening to what you said, it seems to be very reasonable." Aunt Wan nodded.
"Right, Aunt Wan, I felt that the Chief's words were a bit strange this morning. Did something happen?" Xu Yun asked the purpose of his visit.
He clearly saw a flash of sadness on Aunt Wan's face. Although it was just a flash, Xu Yun was still sharp enough to catch it.
"No … nothing." Aunt Wan did not look directly into Xu Yun's eyes. "Maybe he has worked too much these few days. He is a bit tired. What else could be wrong with him?"
"Aunt Wan, you don't know. The Chief actually asked me when I was going to get married today. He even said that he wanted to attend the wedding banquet. He has never said this to anyone before." Xu Yun said awkwardly, "I was really a bit confused."
When Aunt Wan heard this, she quickly raised her head. "Then what did you say? Can you get married this year and let us attend the wedding banquet? "
Xu Yun's head was even bigger now.
"Little Xu, I also think that you should get married. You are not young anymore, and it's not like there are no girls who like you." Aunt Wan said, "I heard from the old man that Little Yu is very good. You two should get married and hurry up and have a child. Let me calculate … if you want a child now, you can give birth next summer."
Xu Yun's jaw almost dropped. Just now, Chief Wan was only "urging" Xu Yun to get married. Now, Aunt Wan was actually "urging" Xu Yun to "hasten" his pregnancy.
Seeing that Xu Yun did not speak, Aunt Wan continued to try to persuade him. "Little Xu, do you know that the two of you are like our own children in our eyes? You also know that our son sacrificed himself because of a national mission a few years ago. From that day onwards, all the children in your brigade are like our own children in our eyes …"
When he heard Aunt Wan mention this sad matter, Xu Yun did not dare to speak. It was hard to accept that a white-haired person had to send off a black-haired person.
Even if it had happened many years ago, this kind of thing was still very difficult to accept.
"If the two of you can have a child, then it's equivalent to holding a grandson. This will fulfill one of my and the old man's lifelong wishes." Aunt Wan sighed.
Xu Yun smiled embarrassedly. "Then I'll fight for it. I'll try to think about it as soon as possible in the next few years. I'll definitely let you hold a grandson. When that time comes, I'll let my son call you grandma!"
When Aunt Wan heard this, she was so emotional that tears almost fell out. She sighed weakly. "I'm afraid we can't wait that long …"
Although Aunt Wan's voice was very weak, Xu Yun still heard it!
This seemingly casual sentence made Xu Yun's emotions surge up instantly. "Aunt Wan, what did you mean by that? 'Did something happen?' I was wondering why the chief was acting so strange today! Aunt Wan, tell me what happened? "
Aunt Wan's expression was very ugly. She really did not know how to answer Xu Yun's question.
But just now, she accidentally said something that she should not have said. This made her not know what to do for a moment.
"Aunt Wan! I beg you, no matter what it is, please let me know the situation. "Xu Yun:" My heart is in a mess now. What … what happened?! "
