Chapter 347: The Story of the Old Canvas Bag
This woman should be Li Jiu's wife, but because he didn't get Li Jiu's notice in advance, he didn't believe Chen Mo's words, thinking that he was a person with bad intentions, so he would take precautions against Chen Mo.
This is also human nature, after all, Li Jiu's family stands out in this village, it is very conspicuous, it is inevitable that some people will worry about his family's belongings, plus the woman looked at Chen Mo through the cat's eyes just now, and she didn't know this person.
Chen Mo didn't say anything, but dialed Wang Xinnan's mobile phone and asked Li Jiu to answer the phone.
"You say. In the receiver of the mobile phone, Li Jiu's voice came.
Hearing this voice, Chen Mo immediately turned on the speakerphone and said loudly: "Li Jiu, I have arrived at your house, but your wife doesn't trust me very much, please tell her!"
"Yufen, this person is my colleague, you don't have to be afraid, you will give him whatever he wants. ”
"I know husband, you haven't called home for so long, is something wrong?" Li Jiu's wife, Yufen said loudly as she opened the door.
"What can happen, I'm just busy with work lately. ”
"Okay, I see, I'll open the door to greet your colleague, let's do this first!"
Chen Mo hung up his phone with a smile and looked at Yufen, who was still holding the child in his arms: "Hello sister-in-law, I am Li Jiu's colleague." ”
"Come on in!" Yufen is a typical rural woman, although the house in which she lives is quite good, his dress is not different from that of other rural women, simple and simple.
Li Jiu's child is a tiger-headed boy, who looks like he is about two or three years old, after Chen Mo entered the door, he immediately took out his wallet, took out five hundred yuan from it, and handed it to Yufen: "Sister-in-law, I came for the first time, and I didn't bring any gifts, this money is considered a meeting gift for the child, you buy him some snacks or something!"
Yufen herself is a simple rural woman without any scheming, seeing Chen Mo's enthusiasm, she was even more embarrassed, and waved her hand at Chen Mo again and again: "Big brother, this must not be done!"
"Take it, I've known Li Jiu for three years, when I got married, Jiu Li gave me a gift of 10,000 yuan, and now I can have a child with a gift of 500 yuan, shouldn't it!"
Hearing Chen Mo say this, Yufen didn't insist anymore, took the five hundred yuan and handed it to the child in her arms: "Call uncle." ”
"Uncle. The little boy snorted and screamed in a milky voice.
"Hehe, that's good!" Chen Mo touched the little boy's head.
When she arrived in the living room, Yufen put the little boy on the walker, then made Chen Mo a cup of tea, and said bluntly: "Big brother, just say what you want." ”
"It's such a sister-in-law, Li Jiu can't get out of his body because he is busy with work, so let me take his grandfather's martyr certificate and military merit medal, in short, everything about his grandfather, I have to take it. Chen Mo said.
Hearing this, Yufen was slightly stunned: "My husband is working in the field, what does he want to do?"
I had expected to ask such a question, and Chen Mo had already thought of a rhetoric: "Li Jiu met a very capable person outside, a certain leader of this military region, Li Jiu told this leader about his grandfather, and the leader said that as long as what Li Jiu said was true and could provide relevant proof, he could rehabilitate his grandfather!"
"That's the case!" Yufen's face didn't change much: "The old man has been dead for so many years, and his life is not very good now, I really don't know what Li Jiu is tossing." ”
"Hehe, sister-in-law, maybe Li Jiu is different from what you think, his grandfather is a combat hero, and he died and was not buried in the martyr's cemetery, Li Jiu has always been obsessed with this, and now there is such a chance to be rehabilitated, Li Jiu also wants to seek justice for his grandfather!"
"Alright then, you wait a minute!"
For some reason, since Chen Mo mentioned the matter of Grandpa Li Jiu, Yufen's face showed an impatient look.
After she finished speaking to Chen Mo, she turned around and entered a room, and soon came out again, pulling out a canvas bag covered with dust, she pulled out the canvas bag with two fingers, and after letting go, she quickly took out a wet towel and wiped the dust on it: "The old man's belongings are here, what do you want to take, just take it directly." ”
"Good. ”
This canvas bag is army green with patches on it, and it looks a little old.
When I opened the zipper, I saw some old clothes, which should have been worn by Li Zhuzhu before his death, including light gray patched military uniforms and dark green military uniforms......
In addition, there is a black plastic bag, which is opened, and inside is more than a dozen military merit medals and various commendation certificates.
In addition, there is a yellowed and distorted photo, which is actually the scene of the great man shaking hands with Li Lianzhu!
These are quite monumental!
However, what Chen Mo didn't understand was why Li Jiu didn't burn these clothes when Li Lianzhu died.
"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid I'll have to take all these things. Chen Mo put the photo back in the plastic bag and then zipped it up.
"Okay, then take it all, big brother, aren't you eating here?"
"Don't eat it, I'm in a hurry about these things, I'll go back first. ”
"Good. ”
Chen Mo carried the canvas bag out of the yard, put the canvas bag in the back seat, waved his hand at Yufen, and then drove away.
A few hours later, Chen Mo successfully boarded the flight back to Cloud City, but when he boarded the plane, because the luggage was worn and old, it also caused a roll of eyes from the security officer, but some people who knew the goods pointed out that this bag was some years old, and it looked like it was issued by the army for more than seven years......
After returning to Cloud City, Chen Mo turned on his phone, and two unread text messages popped up.
One was sent by Liu Xuan, asking him where he was now, and the other was sent by Wang Xinnan, asking him how things were going, and whether he had returned to Cloud City.
first replied to Liu Xuan: I am still in Yuncheng, before I go back, I still want to see you, and then replied to Wang Xinnan: I have all the things in hand, and now I have just arrived in Yuncheng, I will immediately take the things and go to Guo Lao.
Two hours later, the Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Yuncheng Military Region.
The so-called Yuncheng Military Region is not a military region in the real sense, there are not a large number of troops stationed here, and it is just a training base for reserves.
And Guo Jianye and Guo Lao are the commander-in-chief of this training base.
Guo Lao is usually not in the base, although you are the commander-in-chief, he does not have any specific work, only some important meetings will appear.
Some people may wonder why Guo Lao has not retired at such an old age.
This is due to the fact that the deputy commander-in-chief of the training base was punished a few years ago because of a little style problem, and the position of Guo Lao's commander-in-chief should have been taken over by him a long time ago, but after such a thing, this person's promotion was suppressed, but the intention of the superiors was to let him take over the commander-in-chief, otherwise Guo Lao was so old that he would have sent someone over to replace him.
At the end of this year, Guo Lao will retire, and the deputy commander-in-chief can remove the deputy word.
Guo Lao was also very optimistic about this deputy commander-in-chief, and when he made a mistake, he hated him and scolded him severely, but during this period, he still handed over some things in the training base to him to deal with.
Therefore, Guo Lao's title of commander-in-chief is just a fictitious position, and more time, he stays at home.
In the cadre's family home, Guo Lao, who had just returned from visiting his sister-in-law in a nursing home, was sitting on the sofa drinking tea with a satisfied face, and now found the wife of the old battalion commander and made proper arrangements for her.
Today Guo Lao is alone at home, he plans to rest for a while, and then go downstairs to kill a few games of chess with the old Wang Tou, the old Wang Tou is a well-known chess fan, chess attainments are very high, Guo Lao is also a chess enthusiast, the two are the tip of the needle against Mai Mang, no one is convinced, yesterday the two killed a total of five games, of which three of Guo Lao were defeated, the old Wang Tou began to shout, saying that Guo Lao is his subordinate defeated.
Guo Lao planned to kill the old king's spirit today, he was old and didn't eat much, so after drinking half a bowl of gruel, Guo Lao was about to go out when the doorbell rang.
As soon as he hurriedly came over to open the door, he saw Chen Mo standing outside the door, still carrying a patched canvas bag in his hand, and suddenly thought of the request that Chen Mo had made to him before: "Come in, have you found all the information about that Li Lianzhu?"
"Yes!" Chen Mo walked into the room, it turned out that he wanted to put the canvas bag on the table, but saw that the canvas bag was full of dust, and the desktop was wiped clean, after hesitation, he put the canvas bag on the ground, and said casually: "Guo Lao, this time, I trouble you." ”
Guo Lao nodded, then picked up the canvas bag and put it on the table, and said to Chen Mo with a solemn expression: "Xiao Chen, do you know how many thoughts this canvas bag has?"
Chen Mo shook his head.
"This is a canvas bag issued by the army in the seventies, and I also have one. ”
When he said this, Guo Lao had already unzipped the canvas bag.
When he saw a few old and patched old military uniforms inside, Lao Guo was immediately stunned.
He picked up a washed whitish light blue military uniform, reached out and touched the layers of patches on it, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
This light blue military uniform can be regarded as the first generation of military uniforms in Huaguo, and it is equipped with straw sandals and millet plus rifles.
It accompanied countless old revolutionaries, walked through the 100,000-mile Long March, turned over snow-capped mountains, crossed grasslands, and flew over Luding Bridge.
Scenes from the past also came to mind......
And the military medals and the yellowed black and white old photos shocked Guo Lao's heart even more.
After a long time, Guo Lao came out of his sadness, looked at Chen Mo and said, "You tell me about the situation of Li Lianzhu." ”
