Chapter 1699: A Remarkable Woman

"Dajun!" Seeing Jian Qiu said to Yao Jun behind her: "Bring over the cigarettes and liquor we brought, we are going to pay tribute to the martyrs."

Yao Jun nodded and led people to walk quickly toward the parking lot. Soon, more than twenty people came over, carrying cigarettes and liquor.

Immediately after, others went back to fetch more, and it took two or three trips to move all the cigarettes and liquor brought over.

"Let's go, let's light a cigarette and offer a cup of liquor to our predecessors."

It wasn't just Seeing Jian Qiu; Chen Wenqi, Deng Zhangli, and the leaders of the Military Sub-district also followed.

With endless gratitude and reverence, the group walked toward the tombstones of those predecessors who once sacrificed their lives for the freedom, independence, and dignity of the country and the people.

On this quiet and solemn land, everyone felt the weight of history and the greatness of life.

Seeing Jian Qiu first lit a cigarette and placed it in front of a tombstone.

The curling green smoke seemed to be the embodiment of longing and reverence for the predecessors.

At this moment, they seemed to see those once heroic and fearless predecessors, who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, fighting bravely for the interests of the country and the people.

The commander of the Military Sub-district slowly raised the liquor bottle and sprinkled it onto the ground. The clear and transparent liquid glittered under the sunlight, as if telling the predecessors: Rest assured, today's Chinese nation has already stood up.

At this moment, the group also seemed to hear the voices of those predecessors who once shouted for the freedom, independence, and dignity of the country and the people. With their beliefs and ideals, they opened up today's path and future for the Chinese nation.

Seeing Jian Qiu lit more than thirty cigarettes in a row, felt her waist ache a little, and then stood up straight.

"Today's happy life did not come easily; it was exchanged with the blood and lives of our predecessors. We must cherish this hard-won peace and prosperity.

Not only must we remember the achievements and spirit of our predecessors, but we must also inherit their legacy and ideals, and continue to struggle for the interests of the country and the people.

We must take them as examples, firm up our beliefs, forge ahead, constantly pursue excellence and progress, and strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation..."

The leaders of the Military Sub-district very much agreed with Seeing Jian Qiu's words, and couldn't help but feel moved in their hearts.

To think there is such a remarkable woman in this world; if she were in ancient times, she should be a figure like Mu Guiying.

And what Deng Zhangli was thinking in his heart was that Seeing Jian Qiu's way of speaking was becoming more and more like Zhou Andong's; they really are a couple.

As for Chen Wenqi, having just arrived in Jiangzhou, his understanding of Zhou Andong was limited to Cheng Dadan and Deng Zhangli.

Every word Seeing Jian Qiu said today was a great inspiration to him.

He was thinking in his heart how much good fortune Zhou Andong must have to marry such a woman as his wife.

Regardless, the leaders of the Military Sub-district and Chen Wenqi had an incredibly good impression of Seeing Jian Qiu.

Thinking that they should have more contact in the future, making a friend definitely wouldn't be a bad thing.

A large group of people busied themselves for more than two hours and finally finished paying tribute to all the martyrs.

The commander of the Military Sub-district had red eyes: "Many of these are cenotaphs, but there are still names. But there are still quite a few without monuments, and we don't know what they are called."

Seeing Jian Qiu was silent for a moment: "Those without names must also have monuments erected; just carve 'Unknown Hero'."

"Good!" The commander of the Military Sub-district nodded: "Just carve 'Unknown Hero'."

Wu Huilin checked the time: "You have been standing for several hours, we should go back."

Seeing Jian Qiu looked up at the martyrs' graves in front of her, stroked her belly, and said: "The mountains and rivers are at peace. Which hero is willing to go home with me? Using this ten-month body of mine to guard and carry the souls of our predecessors, to protect you for a lifetime of safety, to see this peaceful and prosperous country, these magnificent mountains and rivers!"

Seeing Jian Qiu's words were like a magic sword, piercing the souls of everyone present.

Wu Huilin and several other female comrades beside her had eyes that turned red instantly, and two even cried out loud.

The commander of the Military Sub-district and several other leaders also had tears flowing down.

Chen Wenqi turned around and walked away, and Deng Zhangli took a deep breath, an ugly smile appearing on his face.

"Let's go!"

……………………

At this time, Zhou Andong had already arrived in Guancheng. When he left in the morning, he had already notified Jian Zhengrong.

But when he arrived at the gate of the Municipal Committee, he didn't see anyone welcoming him.

"This is too outrageous, to actually not take me seriously like this."

Huang Yali didn't know the situation and said very indignantly.

"Chairman, Guancheng is too insincere, let's go back."

Wang Wentian's mouth twitched, and he pulled Huang Yali.

This girl turned her head and glared: "Why are you pulling me?"

Wang Wentian was speechless, then turned his head to look at the white clouds in the sky.

"Hmph!" Huang Yali still looked indignant: "The leaders of Guancheng have such big airs, why should we stick our hot faces to their cold buttocks."

"Right, why should we stick our hot faces to their cold buttocks." Zhou Andong echoed with a nod, then turned and left: "Let's go, let's first find a room at the Municipal Committee guesthouse, and then find a place to eat."

Wang Wentian looked at Huang Yali, who was following Zhou Andong with her head held high and looking very proud, and shook his head helplessly.

It was only because their Chairman had a good temper and treated them like his own brothers; if it were someone else, this girl would have been fired sooner or later.

Arriving at the Municipal Committee guesthouse, Huang Yali went to open the rooms. Zhou Andong and the others put their luggage in the rooms, and then ordered a few dishes at the guesthouse restaurant.

Just as the dishes were all served, the guesthouse manager Wan Fuyuan ran over.

"Chairman Zhou, hello, I am the General Manager of the guesthouse, Wan Fuyuan."

Zhou Andong stood up and shook hands with Wan Fuyuan: "Hello!"

"I just received a notification from below saying you came to the guesthouse. I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to really be you."

Wan Fuyuan was very enthusiastic, found a waiter, and had the kitchen make six more special dishes.

Zhou Andong saw that he had already given him six dishes, so he had to invite Wan Fuyuan to sit down and have a drink.

"General Manager Wan, sit down and have a drink together."

"This..." Wan Fuyuan was very willing, but his expression was a bit hesitant: "Would that be too much of a bother?"

"Not a bother." Zhou Andong said with a smile: "I am not very familiar with Dongguan, are there any fun places? Introduce them to me."

"In that case..." Wan Fuyuan sat down: "Then I will bother you."

Zhou Andong picked up an opened bottle of beer and was about to pour a drink for Wan Fuyuan.

Wan Fuyuan wouldn't allow it, hurriedly covering his glass: "Chairman Zhou, I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself."

Zhou Andong didn't force it, and picked up another bottle of beer, placing it in front of Wan Fuyuan.

"Let's not be so polite, let's drink our own."

"Right, right, right, let's drink our own." Wan Fuyuan took a bottle opener and opened the beer.

He had just poured the wine when he saw Secretary Jian Zhengrong and Mayor Yang Mulin arrive.

"You kid, why did you run away after taking a turn at my place?" ===== CHAPTER 1700 =====
