The old grandmother had never seen so much money, and waved her hand to signal that she didn't want it.

"Grandma, this is my brother, if it weren't for you, he would have starved to death, your life is very poor now, you can take this money!"

At Chen Mo's repeated insistence, the grandmother accepted the money, and then let Chen Mo and the man sit in the house, she said that she was going out to buy some food and let the two stay for dinner.

Seeing the old grandmother leaning on her body and walking out on crutches, he didn't know what was going on, he actually thought of Gongsun Li, that is, his grandmother, if Gongsun Li could have half of this grandmother's kindness, he would not have been forced to leave the Chen family in the first place!

This old grandmother walks unsteadily, with gray hair, her face is full of wrinkles, and she looks at least eighty years old, Chen Mo is a big man, naturally he can't bear to watch the old woman go to buy vegetables and cook alone, but he is sitting back and enjoying the fact, so he stopped the old grandmother and said: "Grandma, don't buy the vegetables, you always sit down and rest, I will call the hotel and ask him to send the door." ”

After saying this, Chen Mo took out his mobile phone, but the old grandmother refused and said: "What are you spending that money for, besides, how much can you two eat, the dishes I cook are not much worse than those of the restaurant." ”

Chen Mo had no choice but to nod helplessly and let the old grandmother go.

The whole yard is very clean, there are bags full of plastic bottles neatly stacked in the corners, the living room is very dim, the two small wooden windows have long been out of glass, with cardboard and shelter from the wind and rain, overhead is a dusty tungsten light bulb, and the living room is filled with a smell of dampness.

At this time, the man was sitting on top of the small maza, looking at the fourteen-inch black and white TV, the screen was full of snowflakes, and it was the cartoon Journey to the West, the man saw it with relish, Chen Mo took a deep breath, it seems that the man arrived in Cloud City very early, but he didn't find himself.

There were several black-and-white photographs in the wooden picture frames on the walls, and the whole room seemed to be covered with dust, except for the picture frames, which were spotlessly clean.

Out of curiosity, Chen Mo walked over to check, there were two photos in the frame, a family portrait of a family of four, the old grandmother and a man of the same age as him were sitting on a stool, two young men similar to the man's eyebrows were standing next to him, and the three men were wearing old-fashioned military uniforms.

The other is a photo of a grandmother and a man.

In the photo frame, there is also a first-class merit medal, although the age is old, the copper epaulette seems to have rusted, but the five-star red flag engraved on it is still bright, as if telling the owner of the medal, that period of singing and crying history.

And Chen Mo also knew that in that war-torn era, first-class merit could only be obtained by martyrs.

Chen Mo learned that the grandmother was not a lonely old man, his husband and both were lost in the war, and he belonged to the widow of a martyr, but he didn't understand why the grandmother's life was still so poor, and why the relevant departments did not properly settle the grandmother.

Not long after, the old grandmother came back panting with a black bag, Chen Mo hurriedly took it, opened it and saw that in addition to cooked food such as peanuts, rice, pig's head, etc., there was also a bottle of liquor, at this time the old grandmother smiled and said: "You and your brother go to the house to watch TV, the meal will be fine for a while, today you and your brother are reunited, you should celebrate well." ”

"Hmm. Chen Mo nodded and then asked, "Grandma, can you show me your ID card." ”

"What are you doing with my ID card?"

"Grandma, you are the widow of a martyr, your husband and son died for the country, why do you live here?"

The old grandmother was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then her eyes became sad: "That was more than forty years ago, so don't mention it." ”

After speaking, the old grandmother was about to go to the kitchen with the vegetables she bought, and Chen Mo followed behind: "Grandma, do you have anything unspeakable, tell me, I can help you solve it." ”

"Child, I don't have anything unspeakable, you see I'm so old now, I won't live long, and I don't want to cause trouble for the country. ”

"Grandma, these are all things you should do, why do you want to give up? Besides, your husband and children, if Izumixia has knowledge, do you think they will feel at ease when they see you like this?"

At this time, the old grandmother had already walked into the kitchen, took out the vegetables she bought from the bag, put them on the board, and then picked up the kitchen knife again, and said: "Child, I have lived so old, and it is already the greatest care God has given me. ”

Hearing the old grandmother say this, Chen Mo understood, her husband and two sons are just for the country, the family is in the bones, all of them are flowing with noble blood dedicated to the people, it stands to reason that the old grandmother is the widow of a martyr and deserves to be properly resettled by the country, but she does not seem to be causing trouble to the country, because she feels that now she can live with peace of mind, without the intrusion of foreign enemies, it is already the best reward given to her by the country, and her husband and two sons can be regarded as a well-deserved death.

Suddenly, Chen Mo's heartstrings seemed to be violently shaken by something, and it was very uncomfortable, he stretched out his hand to the old grandmother again, and his tone of voice was unquestionable: "Old grandmother, give me your ID card!"

"Hey!" sighed helplessly, the old grandmother put down the kitchen knife, and then opened the placket with trembling hands, and took out a cloth bag from her arms, the mouth of the cloth bag was clamped with an elastic band, and the old grandmother untied the elastic belt and took out the items inside.

In addition to cash, there are also quite a few identity documents and certificates.

Chen Mo suddenly found a bright red martyr's certificate.

"That's my ID. While speaking, the grandmother handed her ID card to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo took it and looked at it, and then took the martyr's certificate in his hand.

This martyr's certificate is the grandmother's husband's, Chen Mo found that the grandmother's husband died in the Liberation War, and his position before his death was actually the battalion commander!

"Grandma, what about your two sons?"

"They died in North Korea. ”

Chen Mo nodded and didn't speak, this is full of loyalty!

After taking pictures of his ID card and martyr's certificate, Chen Mo came out of the kitchen, made a phone call to Ye Lao, and asked in a very cold tone: "Ye Lao, you are a respected archaeologist in our country, who has made a lot of contributions to the national archaeological cause, and must enjoy the special allowance of the State Council, how much salary can you get every month?"

Ye Lao, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Chen Mo, why did you suddenly remember to ask this?"

"It's okay, I just want to ask you, if there is an old man who can't get a guaranteed life, living on picking up garbage and living on a meager subsistence, but his husband and two sons are martyrs, especially if his husband is still at the battalion commander level, what do you think about this matter?"
