Yang Chen and Gao Hong are walking on the street, looking at the recruits training on the playground.
"Boss, then you don't smoke. I'll change this white sand to a higher grade one?" Gao Hong winked.
Because of Yang Chen's reason, everyone basically follows Yang Chen to smoke white sand, because Yang Chen doesn't touch other cigarettes at all, and he doesn't know what's wrong.
So over the years, Gao Hong has been smoking Baisha, including now also buy Baisha, in order to meet Yang Chen, give Yang Chen cigarettes.
Now that Yang Chen doesn't smoke, it's time for him to think about it. After all, Baisha is too cheap, and the taste is very choking.
Yang Chen stares at him one eye, cold voice way: "you are very rich now?"
Gaohong a Leng, some surprised looking at Yang Chen, don't understand what Yang Chen will suddenly have such a change.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't have much money, but my salary and other things are enough for me. Besides, I don't need to go out in the army. I don't have much money to spend. It's useless for me to save money myself..."
"No use?" Yang Chen cold hum a, "you all forgot your those brothers?"
Gao Hong is stunned and frowns at Yang Chen.
"Brothers... I haven't contacted them. I've been in the number all the time..."
Yang Chen took a deep breath and asked, "how many people were there in the wolf tooth team?"
Gao Hongdao said: "at the beginning, there were 299 people in total. In the end, 200 people were eliminated, and the remaining 99 people were officially determined to be 45 people!"
Yang Chen stops, turns around, stares at Gao Hong and says, "do you know how many people are left now?"
Gao Hong shakes his head.
After he left the army, he never heard from them again.
Yang Chen took a deep breath and said, "there are 45 wolf teeth, three of them died in the snake battle, and the remaining 42. After that, five of them fled, and the rest were 37! "
Gao Hong couldn't help lowering his head. He was one of the five deserters.
"Later, seven people died, 16 retired because of injuries, one trained because of illness, and the remaining 13."
With that, Yang Chen looks at Gao Hong.
Gao Hong's face is tangled.
"Remember our promise? Every time before going to war? " Yang Chen asked.
Gao Hong's brow was locked, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "of course I remember!"
"What is it?" Yang Chen stares at Gao Hong.
Gao Hong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "if I die, please help me take care of my parents!"
"What would you say?"
Gao Hongdao: "don't worry, I will take care of your family, just like my parents! If I die, you have to take care of my family, too! "
"Now where?" Yang Chen stares at Gao Hong.
Gao Hong bowed his head deeply, because he had long forgotten about it.
Yang Chen sighed and said to Gao Hong, "in fact, I didn't want you to take up this responsibility, because you don't even know who was injured and who was sacrificed, let alone his family, his family."
"But I'm willing to give a hand! As long as I have the ability and what I need to do, I will definitely do it! " Gao Hong said excitedly.
Yang Chen shook his head and went on.
Gao Hong, catch up.
Yang Chen said slowly: "I'm going to the border for a few days this time... It's more than four and a half days. I came back today, just five days. Do you know what I've been doing over there these days? "
Gao Hong looks at Yang Chen and shakes his head.
"Do you remember the pillars?" Yang Chen asked.
Gao Hong nodded and said in a deep voice: "remember, the pillar is very simple and funny."
"Yes Yang Chen mouth up, seems to think of the original that silly man, "are children from the countryside, simple and kind."
"Yes! I remember the pillars were easy to talk about and helped me wash my clothes Gao Hong is also nostalgic.
Yang Chen lowered his head and kept silent for a while. He stretched his lips and said for a long time, "the pillar has been sacrificed!"
"What Gao Hong's eyes widened. "How can you even connect the pillars?"
Yang Chen shook his head, "I just went to Zhu's house! Originally, I wanted to express my sympathy and left after giving the money. But when I found the village where the pillar was, and saw the shabby appearance of their family, and the old look of the eldest daughter, I didn't have the heart to say it. "
In front of Yang Chen's eyes, it reflected the scene he had seen.
On the rugged and muddy mountain road, it takes a long time to walk, cross the stream, drill through a mountain road, and then enter their village.
The houses in the village are all made of stone and soil, and the roofs are made of wood and thatch.
There is no courtyard wall, only a few crooked twigs composed of railings.
When Yang Chen saw Zhu's mother, she was a woman with pale hair, turbid eyes, a thin waist and calluses.
It seems that they should be sixty or seventy years old.
It is reasonable to say that if Zhu is alive, he should only look like 267. He should not have such an old mother.
However, after asking, Yang Chen knew that Zhu was the five children born.
After all, it's the countryside, where boys are more important than girls.
Four girls were born in front of him, and the five girls came later.
Wu wa was regarded as a treasure, but it didn't last long. After Zhu went out to work, she still sent money to her home in the first year, but there was no news in the second year.
Er Niu went out again, and finally ran away with others. She married out of town and didn't come back.
Sanni and Sini were cheated out of town by the people in the village to be little sisters, and they never came back.
There was only one person left, and he became a soldier in the end.
Zhu's family conditions did improve a lot in the years when he was a soldier, because his subsidies were relatively high and Zhu's money was relatively real. All his money went back to his home.
But my father has cancer and needs a lot of money to treat it.
Before his several elder sisters sent back money, as well as his wages are used up.
Later, he asked several elder sisters for money and gave it to them, but in the first year, there was no news in the second year. After all, it's a married daughter. She can't always help the family.
The last hope is in the pillar.
However, after waiting for a few years, I did come back with an urn and a compassionate payment.
When the compassionate allowance was used up, they had to live on the allowance of the pillar.
Zhu's father stayed up for several years and left Zhu's mother alone. Although she's the only one, the $200 a month grant doesn't help at all.
Life, it seems more difficult.
Now Zhu's mother is old and helpless. Although she is less than 70 years old, she is as old as others who are 70 or 80 years old.
When looking at Zhu's mother, Yang Chen's nose turned sour.
"Child, are you looking for the post?"
When Zhu's mother's rough palm grasps Yang Chen's arm and asks this sentence, Yang Chen can't help but shed tears in tiger's eyes.
Yang Chen said in a deep voice: "yes, I am the comrade in arms of the pillar!"
"Oh! Then you came to see me! No, I'm fine! Don't worry about the country. You should be busy with your work. I'm fine. I won't trouble the country! " Zhu's old mother is very reasonable.
However, this sentence in Yang Chen's heart is like a sharp arrow into the general sting.
