Chapter 696: The Old Man

Jiang Jiuxi never expected that Shanzi would be the descendant of a martyr, and looking at him like this now, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

In the past, he squatted beside Huo Yusen and looked at Shanzi: "Shanzi, why don't you want to go to school? You can meet many, many children at school, and you can also learn knowledge." ”

Shanzi said a little fiercely: "My grandfather said that going to school is useless, and going to school can't protect your family. ”

Huo Yusen frowned and looked at Shanzi: "Guo Xiaodong, it's not right to say this, you think that your father is a great hero, don't you want to be like him?"

Shanzi shook his head: "I don't want it, grandpa said that my father is the most useless person, and my wife and children can't support him, so I have to let him support me in the end." ”

Jiang Jiuxi knew that the old man was sad and disappointed because of the loss of his son, so he hoped that his grandson would be mediocre so that he could live his life peacefully.

"Shanzi, can we go to your house and have a look?"

After all, Shanzi is a seven-year-old child, although he is usually a little bastard, but in front of adults, he is still a lot more restrained, tilted his head and looked at Jiang Jiuxi for a while, and nodded: "Okay, but grandpa is very fierce." ”

Jiang Jiuxi smiled and touched his head: "Don't worry, I'm not afraid." ”

Xiao Curly and Mu Shaoheng were both a little surprised, how could their mother be good to their enemies? They were fighting just now, but since their mother said that they wanted to go and see, then go and see.

A group of people, led by Xiaoshan, walked towards his house.

Mu Chengduo and Jiang Ying were both difficult to get serious, and walked in silence at the end.

Shanzi's home is at the very edge of the village, and next to the house is a bamboo forest, which is a very quiet place to live.

Grandpa Shanzi was sitting on the bamboo basket on the stone steps in front of the house, and when he saw Shanzi coming with a group of people, he squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, and found that he didn't know anyone.

Shocked, he hurriedly stood up: "Is it our Shanzi who is in trouble?"

Jiang Jiuxi looked at the thin old man in front of him with a frosty face, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, let's just come over and have a look." ”

Grandpa Shanzi breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, it's okay." ”

Ah Zhuang spoke very actively on the side: "Grandpa, this is the new teacher Huo from the school, and other uncles and aunts are here to play." ”

Grandpa Shanzi smiled kindly: "Okay, good, welcome to our Shuiwan Village." ”

A very kind and kind old man.

Huo Yusen still has some understanding of this place, so he started chatting with the old man from the bamboo basket, and slowly led the topic to Shanzi: "Abel, Shanzi is already seven years old and should be sent to school to study, the village chief said that you don't want to, why?"

The smile on Grandpa Shanzi's face suddenly disappeared, and his mood became much lower: "I didn't let me go, the children in the mountains stayed in the mountains, and they couldn't come back after they went out." ”

Mu Chengduo sat down on the bamboo chair next to the old man: "Have you ever thought about it, Shanzi is so young now that he doesn't understand anything, he believes everything you say, and when he grows up one day, he will hate you for not going to school?"

Grandpa Shanzi smiled bitterly: "I understand the truth, so many cadres and leaders come to do ideological work for me, I just don't agree, because I don't want him to understand so many truths." ”

"I have two sons, I have never come back from this mountain, I have become a martyr's family, a family of glory, but I don't want this honor, I want my two sons to live well. I understand the truth, this country must always be protected by someone, otherwise where can we live a happy life today. ”

"But when the scar hits me, I will understand how much it hurts!"

"My wife left early, when she left, Shanzi's father was still a little younger than Shanzi, she said before she died that she hoped that I could pull the two children to grow up, even if I want to find it again, I will find a better one for the children. I agreed, but I didn't do it......"

As the old man spoke, his voice gradually whimpered, and he felt sorry for his wife, if he couldn't take his grandson anymore, what face would he have to go underground to see his wife after death.

Jiang Jiuxi opened his mouth and didn't know how to comfort him.

Mu Chengduo was also silent, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Shanzi stood and listened for a while, then suddenly turned around and ran back to the bamboo building, and then ran out again, holding a thick album.

The cover of the album is army green, and the August 1st military flag is printed on it.

Because I often flip through it, the cover is a little worn.

Shanzi ran to Huo Yusen: "My father and uncle." ”

Grandpa Shanzi didn't say anything, just watched silently.

Huo Yusen opened the album, and it was full of photos in military uniforms, including group photos and solo photos.

Turning a few pages back, Huo Yusen suddenly looked at Jiang Jiuxi suspiciously: "My uncle." ”

Jiang Jiuxi leaned over in surprise and saw a group photo in the middle, five or six soldiers wearing camouflage training uniforms sitting in a row, Huo Jingheng sitting in the middle position, the smile on his face was bright and sunny.

It was a smile that Jiang Jiuxi had never seen before.

couldn't help but tremble, it turned out that he was so simple and happy.

Mu Chengduo also leaned over to take a look, and was also a little surprised: "Huo Jingheng and Shanzi's father are comrades-in-arms?"

Jiang Jiuxi suddenly remembered the name of Hou Jinguo, he said that it was the surname of the three life-saving benefactors, and the last national character was the homonym of the surname Guo.

Is that Shanzi's father?'

Huo Yusen looked at Grandpa Shanzi with some excitement: "Uncle, this is my uncle, he is actually a comrade-in-arms with Shanzi's father." ”

Grandpa Shanzi was also surprised, but he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.

Jiang Jiuxi felt strange, Huo Jingheng clearly said that although he went abroad, he took care of the families of several sacrificed comrades-in-arms, why did Shanzi's family live so miserably?

Seeing Huo Yusen chatting with Grandpa Shanzi about Huo Jingheng, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Hou Jinguo.

"Do you know how your life-saving benefactor's family is doing now?"

Hou Jinguo was obviously not busy, and quickly replied to the message: "I definitely can't find out, in order to protect their family, these are top secrets, Huo Jingheng should know, why are you asking this?"

"No, it's just curiosity. ”

Jiang Jiuxi replied to a message perfunctorily to prevent Hou Jinguo from getting to the bottom of the matter, and directly turned the phone on silent.

Grandpa Shanzi also talked more: "Speaking of Shanzi's comrades-in-arms, we receive remittances every month, I don't know who sent it, could it be Captain Huo? ”

"But I haven't touched the money, Shanzi and I usually don't have much to spend, you go back and ask if Captain Huo sent it, if so, return it to him." ”

Although he doesn't have any high-spirited demeanor, he never wants something that doesn't belong to him.

Jiang Jiuxi looked at Grandpa Shanzi, then at Shanzi, and suddenly had an idea in his heart......
