Chapter 1435

Most of these soldiers' retirement life is not satisfactory. Although it is still far from suicide, according to Qin Shiou's observation, these people usually have the idea of suicide at least occasionally.

From the crazy way some people drink, he can see that they have a tendency to self destruct.

The soldiers stayed together very noisy. Father Hickson left his shop after preparing food. Before leaving, he called Qin Shiou and said, "listen, young man, help me look after my home. I don't want to come back and find my lovely nest made into a pig pen by these guys! And, seriously, if it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't receive these guys! "

Qin Shiou hugged the old man and said with a smile, "I know dad's kindness to me. I'm deeply impressed."

Father Hickson smiled happily, patted him on the face and said, "you know that. Well, continue to play with your young people. I hope those bastards die drunk in the wine bottle."

Qin Shiou didn't stay here for long. At 11 o'clock, the commemoration of the Veterans Day officially began. Bird turned the TV in the restaurant to the maximum. Everyone stood up and looked at the commemoration on on the screen.

Ottawa, the capital of Canada, holds grand commemorative activities in front of the war monument at this time of this day every year.

How grand is their commemoration? The British royal family has to send someone to preside over it. At that time, the prime minister, accompanied by members of Parliament, will review the troops in front of the war monument. Of course, it is not a Chinese style military parade, but it can show that they attach importance to the activities.

The ceremony began with the sound of artillery salute, and representatives of elite troops appeared, but only infantry, sea, land and air forces formed an honor guard for review.

Qin Shiou looked at him and shook his head. Bird asked, "do you think it's bad?"

Qin official said frankly, "I'll show you the scene of our national parade. You can find the gap."

The troops were as like as two peas. Several people joined the activities to sing the national anthem. Several fighters flew over Capitol Hill. The Scotland military band wore a lattice skirt and played the bagpipes. Countless small flags waved in people's hands, which is exactly the same as the parade in the country.

Ferguson began, singing, "Hey! Red poppies bloom in Flanders battlefield. In our bloody land, there are ten stands now... "

Others sang along: "the skylark fluttered its wings and moaned, and the gunfire rarely rang again. We used to have time and human affection, and suddenly drifted away from the world. Now we are sleeping on the battlefield, and our hands are down."

"Brother, please pick up the torch and continue to fight to the end. If you break your last wish, even if the flowers bloom everywhere, how can we rest in peace?"

"This poem became famous for a time, which made some people begin to use opium poppy to commemorate the dead soldiers, which is also the reason why opium poppy became a symbol to commemorate the dead..."

Next, there was nothing wrong with Qin Shiou. He quietly left and put the poppy on the table at the door. This is a tradition. After the event, people will present the poppy at the event site.

In the afternoon, they returned to the fishing ground to work. Qin Shiou said, "you don't have to be in such a hurry. I've granted you a day off. You can have a good chat with your comrades in arms."

Nelson said with a wry smile, "what's good to talk about? We have to work hard and make money. Now I'm killed miserably. "

Qin Shiou frowned and said, "what do you mean? Did you gamble? "

Nelson shook his head and said, "no, it's not gambling, it's living money."

Bird explained to Qin Shiou that the living money was an agreement between some of their close comrades in arms. They went to the front together. At that time, it was agreed that if anyone survived, they should help the families of the war dead or disabled.

Both of them and Matt and others are comrades in arms. Matt didn't find a job or social security after he retired. He almost depends on them.

Qin Shiou asked, "how much do you need to pay?"

Bird said, "there's no rule. I gave 60000."

Nelson shrugged and said, "me too, 60000 yuan. Half a year's bonus is not much, is it?"

Heidao and others said they wanted less, and each of them only took out 25000 yuan, because there were 12 mercenaries in the mercenary team at that time, only one died and one was injured, and the pressure on ten people was relatively small.

Qin Shiou was surprised and said, "Wow, it's not a small sum of money. Each of you is 25000? Those ten people are 250000? "

The black knife said, "how could it? We make more money and give more. Some brothers don't care about it themselves, so they don't have to pay. "

Qin Shiou asked, "do you have to be responsible for this part of the money? When will you take care of them? "

All seven were calm, and bird said indifferently, "they die or we die."

Qin Shiou couldn't understand it. Bird and others understood this, so they smiled and said, "this was the agreement at that time, boss. Don't look at those bastards who said they would rather die on the battlefield. In fact, it's just their nonsense! Throw them on the battlefield again. They must want to live more than anyone! "

"If we survive, we have to fulfill our promise to the dead, but we can't cheat the dead's money, boss, so we all despise ourselves." The receiver laughed.

"Of course, if we don't have meat with you, and if we can't eat bread ourselves, we won't do so. Then we have to rely on others to help us." Black knife added.

Qin Shiou suddenly realized that in fact, among these people, it can be said that there is an invisible insurance. Who can mix well will maintain this insurance to ensure that the brothers at that time can at least eat and live after they retire.

This is something he can't understand. Different cultures and experiences are different.

The soldiers continued to be responsible for security work, and bird and Nelson continued to teach newcomers to learn about working at sea.

Qin Shiou was still surprised and asked bird, "have you ever thought about seeking a position for so many of your comrades in arms? You see, the fishing ground is recruiting. Many of them don't have suitable jobs, do they? "

Bird said calmly: "of course I think, if the fishing ground is mine, I will let them work, but it's not mine. I can't harm you, boss. Those guys are not working materials. They are different from the black knives, otherwise they won't even be able to find a living job."

Qin Shiou smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "then I really didn't read you wrong, my man."

The only trace it left was the stubborn steel poppy on the beach. Later, black knife and bird were painted with red paint, lifelike.
