Chapter 366

"Squad leader?"

Zhong Tianzheng was stunned when he heard the speech.

Not only him, but also the villagers around him were stunned.

monitor?

What's the meaning of this?

"Lao Zhang fought with me all his life. You didn't know where he was when he ran on the front line to kill the enemy! What qualifications do you ask me? "

Grandpa asked Zhang Yifei in a loud voice, "tell me, what qualifications do you have to prevent him from entering this house? This land was protected with blood by me, my brothers, countless comrades in arms and predecessors. What are you? You let your father in? "

Grandpa's sudden words immediately made Zhang Yifei stop. He was stunned and forgot to refute.

"Lao Peng, are you and Lao Zhang war veterans?"

"No? Why don't you say it? "

Now.

Some villagers asked.

"Oh."

With a cold hum, Grandpa stepped into the room and went straight into the bedroom of Lao Zhang. He turned out an old box under the bed and opened it in front of everyone.

In the box.

There are all kinds of medals and meritorious service certificates. Although they are old, the handwriting can be clearly seen.

There is no doubt that these things belong to Lao Zhang.

His supreme ambition and glory.

"Lao Zhang is also a man of flesh and blood. How did he end up giving birth to you, a heartless thing."

Grandpa reached out and stroked the black-and-white photos of Lao Zhang's youth on the certificate. He could not help feeling a little sad: "as his monitor, I can't watch my soldiers commit suicide after my brother was abandoned by his son, and I can't get into the house."

"This..."

"This..."

Suddenly.

The onlookers looked at the scene and didn't know what to say.

No one thought that there were two anti Japanese War veterans in their small mountain village. The villagers who had wanted to persuade Grandpa were silent.

"What about the war veterans? This is my family business. You can't take care of it. "

Zhang Yifei paused and continued fiercely, "don't talk about your former broken monitor. Even if you call the police, he can't control it."

When he said this, he thought.

When he saw his old man's box full of military achievements and medals, he was really deeply surprised. He never thought that his old man would be a meritorious leader.

however.

In a moment.

He has some resentment.

Or look down on these medals.

In his mind, he subconsciously thought that these things were just a pile of scrap iron. If they had really changed, they would not shrink in this small mountain village now.

Therefore, his tone of speaking to Grandpa did not have any fear and respect.

"See off!"

Zhang Yifei shouted, and suddenly someone blocked him in front of Grandpa and moved the old Zhang on the unit price to the temporary shed not far away.

next.

He would have someone clean up the old man over there, put on clean clothes and put them in the coffin.

let me put it another way.

In the next few days, except the day before the burial, Lao Zhang will be moved back to the house together with the coffin. At other times, he can only be exposed to the cold wind outside.

"Zhang Yifei, you wolf hearted dog, you must die!"

Grandpa was blocked and wanted to stop, but there was no way. He had to watch.

That's it.

A farce is over.

Grandpa never said a word after he left Zhang Yifei's house with Lao Zhang's box.

When he got home, Grandpa sat in the house and found another box under the bed.

Open.

It was still full of medals.

At the bottom is an old-fashioned military uniform.

these

It's all a witness that they threw their heads and shed blood.

Grandpa put the two boxes upright on the table, brought two cold preserved vegetables, opened a bottle of Wuliangye brought back by Comrade Xiong Xiaocai, poured it on Lao Zhang's position, and filled it himself. Then he drank it like this. It's no use for anyone to come and say.

Zhong Tianzheng, Ah Xiang had to accompany him silently, watching grandpa drink wine silently.

"Do you know why I'm so bad to your mother?"

It seems that he drank too much. Grandpa lit himself a cigarette and said to himself: "in fact, Peng Xiang is not my son. He is the son of my platoon leader. In a breakthrough battle, I accidentally fell down. The bullet that had hit me was blocked by the platoon leader. Ha ha, the bullet hit my head on the spot. I didn't have time to say a word."

"Later, after the war, Lao Zhang and I found the child. Bitter, he was the only one left in the family, so we took care of the child." Grandpa puffed a cigarette and felt guilty: "I can't make up for the guilt of the platoon leader. I can only compensate his children, so I especially love him. I'm a lot worse for Xiaocai."

"Lao Zhang is my soldier. He was trying to raise the platoon leader's son, but I refused. The brother was very stubborn. At that time, he refused to go and wanted to stay here with me, so we settled here."

Grandpa said here and sighed deeply: "decades have passed in the blink of an eye. I didn't expect Lao Zhang to walk so fast. He is a good soldier."

This kind of scene, two people naturally can't talk, can only listen silently on the side, which can be regarded as a foil.

"Let's talk about Lao Zhang again."

Grandpa sipped a Baijiu, and frowned at Zhong Tianzheng: "I think his death is a problem."

"Although Lao Zhang chose to drink drugs to commit suicide, it was only when Lao Zhang's son and daughter had no fruit in discussing his residence." After a little meditation, Zhong Tianzheng said, "but Lao Zhang killed himself by drinking drugs. Just from this point, his sons and daughters have lost a lot of relationship."

"Moreover, you heard them say that they were just discussing the matter and had not made a final decision, nor did they drive Lao Zhang out, so they did not have any unfulfilled maintenance obligations, and legally, they had nothing to do with them."

"Therefore, this matter can only be regarded as an unfortunate family affair."

Zhong Tianzheng explained to Grandpa carefully: "we are all sorry about Lao Zhang. Don't be too sad, old man."

"No, you don't understand me, you know."

Grandpa waved his hand and denied Zhong Tianzheng's words: "I mean, Lao Zhang won't choose to drink drugs to commit suicide."

"Why?"

"Because he is my soldier, I know his character!"

Grandpa said with certainty.
