Chapter 227 Comrade Wang Zhenqian

Seeing this, Su Daliang and Su Sanquan did not plead with Su Jianjun on his behalf.

They had been too soft-hearted and only gave Su Nuannuan a verbal reprimand. However, to prevent such a thing from happening again, the two felt that their little sister needed to be taught a lesson.

Compared to being beaten, kneeling down to reflect on one's actions is a relatively easy punishment.

Su Nuannuan knew that Su Jianjun was teaching her a lesson so that she would remember it clearly.

Therefore, without any hesitation, Su Nuannuan knelt down beside Su Erqiang.

In rural areas, kneeling down to reflect on one's actions is considered the easiest punishment.

Su Jianjun felt that this method of punishing Su Nuannuan was just right.

So, Su Nuannuan and Su Erqiang knelt down like two little quails, facing the wall to reflect on their mistakes.

Su Nuannuan felt no discomfort. Su Jianjun was doing this for her own good, and Su Nuannuan knew and remembered it.

This experience taught Su Nuannuan that she should never take unnecessary risks in the future. Although she knew nothing bad would happen, her family was always worried about such things.

Su Nuannuan didn't want her family to worry.

At the same time, Su Nuannuan silently apologized to Su Erqiang, who had taken the blame for her.

Su Nuannuan decided to send Su Erqiang some delicious food every week after school started as compensation.

Seeing that Su Nuannuan and Su Erqiang were seriously reflecting on their actions, Su Jianjun focused his attention on the ginseng on the table.

Although he blamed Su Nuannuan and Su Erqiang for taking the risk, Su Jianjun couldn't help but feel happy that his family had obtained a ginseng.

The entire country is currently experiencing a severe drought, and although Heilongjiang Province has a high grain yield, it still has to provide annual aid to other provinces severely affected by the disaster. With each bumper harvest, the amount of grain to be handed over to the state increases.

Su Jianjun didn't know when the disaster would end. Therefore, money became the most important thing besides food. With money, you could buy food; without money, you had nothing.

Moreover, judging from the weather, Su Jianjun felt that the drought would continue next year.

Although the family has had a surplus of food in recent months, he and Chen Xiuting still store some durable food every day.

Except when Su Nuannuan was home, when they ate refined grains and pork, they continued with their previous diet, although they were able to eat their fill at other times.

Su Nuannuan was unaware of these things.

Upon seeing the ginseng, Su Jianjun's first thought was to buy it.

At that time, money could be exchanged for grain. But no matter how precious ginseng was, it couldn't be eaten as a meal.

Seeing Su Jianjun staring at the ginseng in deep thought, Su Daliang spoke up.

"Dad, now is the time before the New Year, we can sell the ginseng."

Before the Lunar New Year, it's a time when everyone is on holiday visiting connections. Ginseng like this, which is a once-in-a-century find, will definitely become something that some people are willing to pay a high price for.

It's important to remember that not long has passed since the War of Resistance against Japan, and many of the veterans who risked their lives for the country are still alive. However, although they survived, they suffer from numerous internal injuries sustained during their years of fighting in the north and south.

They are national heroes and the pillars of their families.

No matter how great a person is in the family, none of them are as important as these old heroes.

These people's children and nephews are spending a lot of money to buy up good things like ginseng, which are good for nourishing the body.

Su Jianjun had thought of everything that Su Daliang could think of.

Moreover, he thought about it much more deeply.

Compared to the black market in the county town near Hongqi Village, Su Jianjun trusted his former comrades-in-arms whom he had met in the army more.

As mentioned before, Su Jianjun served in the army when he was young.

However, he was just a low-ranking soldier in the logistics department. This wasn't because the army didn't recognize talent; it was simply because Su Jianjun himself was incompetent.

It's worth noting that Su Jianjun was specially recruited into the army back then. In his youth, Su Jianjun was 1.8 meters tall and very strong. Those with foresight immediately recruited him. However, during training, the instructors discovered that Su Jianjun might not be suitable for military service.

It wasn't that he had a hidden illness, but rather that his marksmanship was terrible. Nine out of ten times he missed the target, and once he even accidentally shot a friendly fire soldier.

In this era of advanced weaponry, the military wouldn't trust someone like Su Jianjun, who couldn't even fire a gun, to carry out missions.

However, the people have already been hired, so why send them back?

Finally, after discussion, Su Jianjun was transferred to the logistics department.

Although he wouldn't be going to the battlefield, he still had to participate in regular training. However, the military granted Su Jianjun special permission to skip weapons training.

Su Jianjun only stayed in the army for five years before returning home.

He did not accept the low-level clerk job assigned to him by the army, and returned home with only some demobilization pay.

Su Jianjun is simply too ashamed!
Although he only served in the army for five years, Su Jianjun made many friends thanks to the forthright and generous nature of the men from Heilongjiang Province.

Every year during the Spring Festival, Su Jianjun would write a letter to these comrades-in-arms.

Although they didn't contact each other frequently, Su Jianjun had a deep bond with these comrades.

After deciding to sell ginseng, Su Jianjun's first thought was to reach out to his comrades.

Of these comrades, some have already transferred to civilian jobs, but others remain in the military, and hold relatively high positions.

Among them, the person with the best relationship with Su Jianjun was Wang Zhenqian, the instructor who taught him how to shoot.

Wang Zhenqian was the one who recruited Su Jianjun into the army and also the one who taught him how to shoot.

Wang Zhenqian was only five years older than Su Jianjun, and the two were from the same hometown. Therefore, after Su Jianjun joined the army, Wang Zhenqian took good care of him.

Even after Su Jianjun was transferred to the logistics department, Wang Zhenqian remained as friendly to him as he had been at the beginning.

After that, as they spent more time together, their feelings for each other deepened.

Of course, some things happened during this time that made Wang Zhenqian remember Su Jianjun's kindness.

The first person Su Jianjun thought of to help sell ginseng was Wang Zhenqian.

First, the two had a very good relationship; second, there were many people in Wang Zhenqian's circle who wanted to be his ginseng.

Having been comrades-in-arms for over a decade, Su Jianjun had great faith in Wang Zhenqian's character.

After thinking it over, Su Jianjun told him about it.

Although Su Daliang and Su Sanquan had no experience in society, they were both shrewd and cunning.

After hearing about Wang Zhenqian's background, the two agreed that Su Jianjun had made a good choice.

Su Nuannuan, who was eavesdropping nearby, nodded in agreement.

Indeed, this uncle named Wang Zhenqian is a good business partner.

If all goes well, the other party might even owe us a favor this time.

It's worth noting that the fact that the ginseng is over a century old is also a selling point.

Although Su Nuannuan did not know Wang Zhenqian's position in the army, he had been in the army for more than ten years, and even if he was not in a high position, he knew many capable people.

These are all potential customers for ginseng.

Seeing that Su Jianjun was aware of the situation, Su Nuannuan felt much more at ease.

Things were going according to her plan. If all went well, the family wouldn't have to worry about money for the next few years.
