Chapter 3962 Road Sacrifice
General Manager Meng walked around the workshops for a while before heading to the medicinal herb processing area.

Workshop workers have started taking training courses, while the elites in the R&D department are busy in the laboratory. Now, when they have free time, they are cleaning staff, off-duty security guards, bodyguards, drivers, and some white-collar workers.

Every available person was squatting down to process the medicinal herbs and peel rice stalks.

Since his workload wasn't heavy, General Manager Meng joined the group chat and spent more than two hours peeling rice stalks before going to the canteen with everyone else.

Upon entering the cafeteria hall, General Manager Meng found a table with Supervisor Ji and took a seat, chatting with everyone during the short time before the meal.

After chatting for a few minutes, he asked Supervisor Ji, "Have you finished your work?"

"I've finished most of my main tasks here; the rest are just routine little things." Ji Fenggui assumed there was some work to be assigned.

"Once you've finished your work, hurry back to Beijing to pick up your child. Let the child get used to the environment, and then you'll need to register for school soon."

Mr. Meng still remembered her matter, which warmed Ji Fenggui's heart. She agreed, "Okay, I'll make arrangements this afternoon and go back to Beijing tomorrow."

"Moving is not easy, but the company is not busy in the first ten days of the month, so don't rush. Safety comes first."

"clear."

Ji Fenggui accepted the company's care.

After finishing the business, President Meng chatted with the others.

Ji Fenggui was also a decisive person. After checking the air tickets, she found that there were evening flight tickets, booked the tickets, went to the office in the afternoon to explain some precautions, and went to the airport in the late afternoon to take the evening flight back to Beijing.

The staff at the Third Pharmaceutical Company weren't busy, but the villagers of Jiudaomei Village were busy with the double harvest, working enthusiastically.

In the past, Lejia would usually finish the double-cropping project before August 1st. This year, because the newly planted rice stalks were too tall, the harvesting speed was slow, and they were busy until August 4th.

On the afternoon of the 4th, we planted rice seedlings in the paddy fields until it got dark.

After the double harvest was completed, the Tang family head led his clansmen to strip the rice leaves under the stars and moon, removing all the rice stalks, and then drying them.

They didn't rush home, but stayed at the Le family's house to recuperate, starting a routine of spending every day on the second floor.

Le Xiaotong led a group of children on a sightseeing trip along the way. The journey from the capital of Q Province to Geer City, which is only a little over 700 kilometers, took them four days.

On the evening of the 4th, the convoy arrived in Geer City, Q Province, which is also the earliest starting point of the first highway from Q Province to Z Province.

That evening, the little girl's group stayed at a hotel in the city.

Whether it was the young people of the Gu family or a group of children of all ages, they all took a shower and washed their hair before officially starting their journey to Z province.

Some people with longer hair even went to the barbershop to get their hair cut.

After a night's rest, the group got up early the next day, ate breakfast, and set off.

The convoy passed through Gel and met up with the advance convoy at a pre-arranged point on the outskirts.

There were many vehicles at the designated point, but the Gu Xiu family and the Tantai family alone only had one vehicle for transporting supplies and one SUV.

Huo Shishao's family was the most generous, assembling a small fleet: two buses, two RVs, five vans for transporting supplies, and one outdoor camping food truck.

Zhou Shaohua, Shao Ji, and several other families each own an off-road vehicle. The joint fleet consists of two buses, eight RVs, four refrigerated trucks, six vehicles carrying spare tires, gasoline, sleeping bags, and other supplies, and four outdoor camping food trucks.

The ancient Xiujun group's convoy was large and rich in supplies.

Zhou Tianxing, Chen Fengnian, and others got off the bus, retrieved their luggage from the baggage car, repacked their backpacks, and then went to the supply vehicle to collect their bicycles.

The park's fleet was ready, with a truck carrying bicycles and spare inner and outer tires, bearings, pedals, and other parts, as well as tire repair tools.

The little girl is taking the kids on a trip to toughen them up; she can't let them enjoy the whole experience, so she has to include cycling in the itinerary.

The children in the amusement park each brought their own bicycles, except for Chen Fengnian and Zhou Tianxing, whose bicycles were purchased together.

A group of teenagers were having cycling training, and He Xiaoba, a handsome outdoor survival instructor, was no exception; he also had a bicycle.

The young men from the Gu family helped unload the bicycle.

The young masters of their family followed the little girl to a camping food truck to heat up their meals. They moved a table to the grass by the roadside and placed an incense burner and a bucket for burning paper money.

After setting up the table, the young men went to a supply truck to unload fruit and water, washed the fruit on plates, plated it, and then placed it on the table.

They also brought wine and cigarettes.

The children, both young and old, took their own cars, put their backpacks away, and went to the place of worship to help fold paper money and gold ingots.

The personnel in charge of managing the supplies also tidied up and lined up on the grass.

Even the youngest, Zhang Yuheng, obediently stayed by his older sister's side.

Le Yun heated up nine dishes in a steamer, took them out and placed them on a wooden tray. Xuan Shao took them and carried them to the lawn, where she then personally arranged the dishes on the table.

Then set out the wine glasses.

The wine glasses are arranged in a U-shape.

After placing the cup down, Yueyun washed her hands, took a stick of incense, lit it, and bowed in the direction of the ancestral mountain.

Everyone stood behind the little girl. She bowed down, and they all bowed down as well.

Yueyun bowed three times, inserted incense into the incense burner, took out the sacrificial text, read it once, burned it, picked up a cup of wine, and poured wine into the wine cup on the table. The first cup of wine was poured more than halfway.

Pour a glass of wine, light an incense stick, and bow towards the distance: "On August 5, 2030, Yue Yun, a native of Ebei, along with friends and children, will travel this road to Z province. In remembrance of the great contributions of our predecessors who built this road, we have prepared this feast to pay tribute to the spirits of all those who sacrificed their lives for the construction of this road. We respectfully invite the spirits of our predecessors to take their seats!"

Everyone bowed their heads and performed a deep bow.

Yueyun bowed down, then stood up again, placed the incense in the incense burner, picked up the wine pot, and poured wine again.

Go around once, then pour the wine again from the beginning.

He poured a round of wine, lit nine cigarettes, and then poured the wine from the glasses onto the ground one by one. He turned around and called out, "Young Master Xuan, please offer a toast to the martyrs."

"I dare not accept such praise, but it is an honor for the Xuan family to offer a cup of wine to the martyrs."

Xuan Shao stepped forward, took the half-empty bottle of wine from the little girl's hand, and poured the wine with both hands.

Young Master Xuan and the young members of his family opened bottles of wine at the back. Once the young master's bottle was empty, they would hand him another bottle and put the empty bottle back in the box.

Xuan Shao poured three rounds of wine.

After a few breaths, Yue Yun poured the wine on the ground and then instructed, "Young Master Huo, please come forward and offer a toast to the martyrs."

"I dare not accept such praise. It is an honor for the Huo family to offer a cup of wine to our martyrs." Huo Shi Shao stepped forward and took the wine bottle that Xuan Shao had not finished pouring.

He also poured three rounds of wine.

Yueyun poured the wine onto the grass, and then had the young masters of the ancient cultivation family take turns to offer a toast.

After the young masters of the ancient cultivation family finished their toasts, it was time for He Xiaoba, Chao Er, Lan Sanhei Jiu, and finally a group of teenagers.

After the children poured wine, Yueyun poured another round of wine and had the children burn paper money and gold ingots.

The young masters of the ancient cultivation family also burned a handful of paper and several packs of cigarettes.

After the paper money in the burning bucket had burned out, Yueyun poured the wine on the ground, turned the wine cup upside down on the table, lit an incense stick, and bowed: "This junior respectfully sends off all the ancestors back to their homes, and wishes their heroic souls a peaceful rest!"

Men, women, and children bowed deeply in farewell.

Yueyun bowed, silently counted a few breaths, stood up, and placed the incense stick on the grass.

Everyone remained silent, their eyes fixed on the incense.

The incense burned very quickly; the incense in the incense burner and the incense on the grass went out in no time.

Someone remembered the lit cigarette, looked over, and found that it had burned out without anyone noticing.

As the incense burns out, the heroic souls find their eternal rest.

Le Yun asked Lan Shuai to use tools to dig up a patch of turf, dig a hole, pour in Qian's ash, and then cover it with soil and turf.

The turf was restored, and the handsome guys brought over a bucket of water, splashed it, and thoroughly watered the turf.

Without a word, the handsome men packed up the offerings and returned the table and incense burner to the supply truck.

After they finished packing, they noticed a line of cars parked along the national highway not far away, with the people inside getting out and standing on the road watching silently.

The young men from the ancient village were quick-witted; one of them, a handsome young man, ran to the highway to find out what was going on.

An elderly driver greeted the young man gently and asked, "Are you here to pay respects to the people who repaired the road?"

The Ji family guards, who were gathering information, said with solemn expressions: "Yes. The predecessors who built this road had a very difficult time, and more than three thousand of them were lost forever on both sides of this road."

Our young master and his friends led a group of children on a study tour to Z province. We held this roadside memorial to express our gratitude to our ancestors and to teach the next generation not to forget their achievements.

Emotions welled up in the driver's eyes: "This road was indeed hard-won. Many passing drivers are grateful and will honk their horns or offer a cigarette in some places to thank our predecessors."

You've shown your kindness; I imagine your ancestors, who lie buried by the roadside, would be delighted to know your sentiments.

The Ji family guard's heart skipped a beat: "Judging from what you're saying, could it be that your family also had ancestors who participated in the road construction?"

"Yes, my great-uncle was also one of the road construction workers. He was a little luckier and saw the completion of the road. He passed away in the 1970s. My great-uncle's comrades-in-arms are buried at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains."

"So you're from a family of heroes! My apologies! Are you also going to Z Province?" The Ji family guards were filled with respect.

"I'm coming back from Z province. I saw what looked like a religious ceremony ahead, so I stopped to check it out. The road ahead is clear. I wish you a safe and smooth journey."

The driver smiled gently, calmly turned around, and went to the opposite lane.

There were no cars on the road at that time, so crossing the road was not dangerous.

Ji's guards remained on guard, watching the driver safely cross the road and reach the other side. Seeing people boarding their cars along the roadside, he turned and ran towards the convoy.

He returned to the convoy, where everyone had already gotten ready.

The young man from the Ji family explained to the other young masters, who hadn't yet boarded the vehicles, why the cars were parked by the roadside, and quickly returned to the group.

Hua Shao remarked, "Kindness is contagious. This young lady, with a grateful heart, paid homage to her ancestors. When others learned of this act, it resonated with them. I hope this spirit of remembering our martyrs can be passed down from generation to generation."

One person's influence is limited, but when one spreads to ten, ten to a hundred, and a hundred to a thousand, the power becomes immense.

"Heroes are immortal, and their legacy lives on. I believe that the spirit of our ancestors will surely be passed down from generation to generation." Yue Yun is very optimistic. The spirit of China has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and it will surely be passed down in the future.
