"Squad leader?"

Zhong Tianzheng was slightly stunned when he heard this.

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

Squad leader?

What does this mean?

"Old Zhang followed me to fight for the rest of his life. When you were running around the front line and killing the enemy, you didn't know where you were! What qualifications do you have?"

Grandpa asked Zhang Yifei loudly: "Tell me, what qualifications do you have to prevent him from entering this house? This land is all protected by me, my brothers and countless comrades-in-arms. The seniors used their blood to protect it. What are you? Let your father enter the house?"

The grandfather's sudden words made Zhang Yifei stunned and even forgot to refute.

"Lao Peng, are you and Lao Zhang veterans of the Anti-Japanese War?!"

"No way? Why don't you say it out?!"

immediately.

Some villagers asked.

"Oh."

Grandpa snorted coldly, walked into the room, walked straight into the bedroom of Lao Zhang, and took out an old box from under the bed, and opened it directly in front of everyone.

In the box.

There are various medals and certificates of meritorious service. Although they are old, their handwriting can still be clearly visible.

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

His supreme aspirations and glory.

"Old Zhang is also a man of flesh and blood, but how come he gave birth to you, a heartless thing in the end."

Grandpa reached out to touch the black and white photo of the old seal on the certificate, and couldn't help but feel sad: "As his squad leader, I can't watch my soldiers and my brother commit suicide after being abandoned by his son, and he can't get into the house."

"this..."

"this...."

Suddenly.

The onlookers watched this scene and didn't know what to say.

No one expected that there were two veterans of the Anti-Japanese War in their small mountain village. The villagers who originally wanted to persuade their grandfather had no sound.

"So what about the veterans of the Anti-Japanese War? This is my family matter, you don't care."

Zhang Yifei paused for a moment and continued viciously: "Don't talk about you, a former squad leader, even if you call the police and call the police, he won't care."

He had thought about this when he said this.

When he saw his old man's box of military achievements and medals, he was really surprised. He never thought that his old man would be a master who made achievements.

but.

In a moment.

He was a little resentful again.

Or I look down on these medals anymore.

In his heart, he subconsciously believed that these things were just a pile of scrap metal. If they had been so good at the beginning, they would not have been huddled in this small mountain village now.

Therefore, the tone of his speech to his grandfather was not afraid or respect.

"see a visitor out!"

Zhang Yifei shouted, and someone immediately stood in front of his grandfather and moved Lao Zhang at the unit price into a temporary shed not far away.

Next.

He would have someone help the old man clean up there, then change into a clean dress, and put it in the coffin.

in other words.

In the next few days, except for the day before the burial, Lao Zhang would be moved back to the house with the coffin, and at other times, he would have to be exposed to the cold wind outside.

"Zhang Yifei, you are so heartless, you must die a bad death!"

My grandfather was blocked by someone and wanted to go over and stop him, but there was no way to do so, so I could only watch.

that's all.

A farce ends here.

After Zhang Yifei's house left with Lao Zhang's box, his grandfather never said a word again.

When he got home, his grandfather sat in the house and took out another box from under the bed.

Open.

There are still many medals inside.

At the bottom is an old-fashioned military uniform.

These.

They are all witnesses of their sacrifices and their bloodshed back then.

Grandpa placed the two boxes upright on the table, brought two cold wax dishes, opened another bottle of Wuliangye brought back by Comrade Xiong Xiaocai, poured it on the position of Lao Zhang, and filled it with it, and then started drinking it, which was useless if anyone came over.

Zhong Tianzheng, Xiang had to accompany him silently, watching his grandfather drinking silently.

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

It seemed that I was drinking too much, my grandfather lit a cigarette for himself and said to himself: "Actually, Peng Xiang is not my son, he is the son of my platoon leader. During a breakthrough battle, I accidentally fell down. The bullet that was originally hit on me was blocked by the platoon leader for me. Haha, the bullets were penetrated on the spot and I didn't have time to say a word."

"Later, after the war, Lao Zhang and I found this child. It was so hard that he was the only one left in the family, so we took care of the child." Grandpa smoked cigarettes in big mouthfuls, feeling a little guilty: "I can't make up for the guilt I feel for the platoon leader, I can only compensate his child, so I also love him very much. Many times I'm much worse for Xiaocai."

"Old Zhang is my soldier. He was originally trying to raise the platoon leader's son, but I refused. The brother was very stubborn. At that time, he had a chance to rise, so he refused to leave and wanted to stay here to accompany me, so we settled down here."

When my grandfather said this, he sighed deeply: "The blink of an eye has passed for decades. I didn't expect Lao Zhang to leave so fast. He is a good soldier."

Of course, the two of them couldn't get into this kind of scene, so they could only listen silently to the side as a foil.

"Let's talk about Lao Zhang again."

Grandpa took a sip of white wine, smacked his lips and frowned at Zhong Tianzheng: "I think there is something wrong with his death."

"Although Lao Zhang chose to commit suicide by taking medicine because he was like this when Lao Zhang's son and daughter had no success in discussing his residence." Zhong Tianzheng said after pondering for a while: "But Lao Zhang committed suicide by taking medicine by himself. From this point alone, his sons and daughters have lost a lot of relationships."

"Besides, you also heard them say that they were just discussing this matter, not making the final decision, nor did they drive Lao Zhang out, so they don't have any obligation to support them, and they have no direct relationship with them in terms of law."

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

Zhong Tianzheng explained to his grandfather in detail: "We all feel sorry for Lao Zhang's affairs, so don't be too sad."

"No, you don't understand what I mean, you know."

Grandpa waved his hand and denied Zhong Tianzheng's words: "I mean, Lao Zhang would not choose to commit suicide by taking medicine."

"Why?"

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

Grandpa said it with certainty.
