The man took the urn of the old company commander from Qin Long's hands with trembling hands, carefully opened the black cloth wrapped in the urn, gently stroked the urn, and did not say a word for a long time.

Qin Long didn't interrupt the man, and he didn't know what to say.

After a long time, the man raised his head and shouted at the hut with a curtain on it, "Mother-in-law, why haven't you brought the wine yet?!"

A woman who also couldn't tell how old she was came out with a large porcelain bowl, Qin Long dared to swear, he had never seen such a big bowl, if this bowl was brought to the city, I am afraid that someone would be willing to buy it at a high price and collect it.

The woman glanced at Qin Long curiously, and when she saw that Qin Long was looking at her, she hurriedly took her gaze back and carefully put the big bowl on the table.

The bowl was full of a large bowl of wine, yellowish in color, exuding a strong taste of alcohol with a hint of acidity, and it was really not fragrant.

Qin Long noticed that the women came out of the hut, a man and a woman and two children were lifting the curtain and looking at Qin Long curiously, the girl was older, she looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old, and the boy looked like he was only about ten years old, his face was dark and he didn't know how many days he hadn't washed his face, only a pair of eyes looked clearer, but he felt less agile than the children in the city.

Qin Long beckoned to the two children: "You guys come here." ”

As he spoke, Qin Long took off the backpack on his shoulder, and the backpack contained some biscuits, chocolates, vacuum chicken leg drinks, and other drinks that he had temporarily bought at the commissary of the county station before getting on the bus, ready to be used to satisfy his hunger on the road, but after a day of driving, Qin Long only drank some drinks, and he really couldn't muster his appetite to eat those cookies and chocolates.

Maybe it's because you're rich, and people have become delicate, and Qin Long doesn't want to eat these things unless it's a last resort.

What's more, the dust in the bus that Qin Long was sitting in was even bigger than the outside of the car, how could such a big dust eat?

Qin Long's backpack also contained some notebooks, pencils, erasers and other things for primary school students to buy in the commissary, aren't they all played out in the news on the theme of poverty alleviation, what children in poor mountainous areas need most is these stationery, and every child looks ecstatic when they get these stationery.

Qin Long learned from Doctor Lin that the son of the old company commander was also in the navy, and it seemed that he was in his forties and had not yet started a family, and he had no grandchildren, but Li Jiagou had seven or eight children of different ages, and these stationery were brought to those children.

How does Qin Long know that the last thing Li Jiagou's children need is these things, they don't even have a school, they don't know a word, what do you want these stationery for?

They want food, good things they've never eaten before, such as biscuits, instant noodles, fruit candy

A piece of fruit candy can make them happy for a day, even if it is just a few beautiful clothes in red, green and green, they will treat them as treasures, but clothes are still more impressive than food.

It's a pity that Qin Long didn't know about these situations at all, and he bought a whole half of his backpack of stationery with self-righteousness.

Now Qin Long just wants to get some stationery for this uncle's two children.

As a result, when the two children saw Qin Long beckoning, they hurriedly lowered the curtain and hid back as if they were frightened.

Qin Long reluctantly took out a stack of notebooks, a pencil and a few erasers from his backpack and put them on the table, and smiled dryly at the woman who was hurriedly cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and the other two pairs of chopsticks in front of Qin Long: "Auntie, these books are for two children." ”

The woman replied, said thank you as if she was shy, and turned around with three pairs of chopsticks and walked towards the hut.

Qin Long hurriedly stood up: "Auntie, haven't you finished eating yet, come and eat together." ”

The man glanced at Qin Long and said, "Don't care about them, there are still in the pot." ”

Then the man saw the stationery that Qin Long put on the dining table, and he didn't say anything, just reached out and pushed away the dishes and chopsticks in front of him on the dining table, stood up and respectfully put the urn of the old company commander on the bench he had just sat on, picked up the two new bowls that the woman put down just now, scooped a full bowl of wine with the wooden spoon in the big bowl, held it in front of the urn with both hands and put it on the dining table, and said in a dumb voice: "Old company commander, Da Zhuang respects you a bowl of wine." When you get there, you can rest for a while when you're tired. Da Zhuang has no other skills, and he has no culture, but there are not many people who Da Zhuang admires in his life, you are the person I admire the most, I really didn't expect that you would just leave like this"

Before he finished speaking, his shoulders twitched and he began to cry.

It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, and even Qin Long can see that this middle-aged uncle who claims to be a strong man is a person with an upright and strong personality, but he cried like this.

Qin Long's nose was also a little sour, he stretched out his hand to help Da Zhuang sit down, and asked softly, "Uncle Da Zhuang, have you also been a soldier?"

Da Zhuang wiped a handful of tears and looked at Qin Long and said, "How can I be blessed to be a soldier, why do you ask that?"

Qin Long grinned and asked, "I heard you call the old company commander the same as the old company commander, and I thought you had also been a soldier." ”

Da Zhuang silently picked up the bowl and scooped up a full bowl of wine in front of Qin Long, and said in his mouth: "Our people in ten miles and eight townships call him the old company commander, and I heard that even the big cadres in the county call him that. ”

Qin Long sighed, Da Zhuang poured out the steamed potatoes in his bowl, scooped a bowl of wine for himself, and touched the bowl of wine on the table in front of the old company commander's urn with both hands: "Old company commander, you caught up today, there is wine and meat, I salute you a bowl, you drink more, eat more meat." ”

Qin Long silently followed and picked up the wine bowl together, Da Zhuang's performance towards the old company commander was as natural as the old company commander sitting on that stool.

The wine was so spicy, and when he drank it, it flowed down his throat and into his stomach like a line of fire, and even Qin Long, who was tested by alcohol, couldn't help but grin.

However, at this moment, Qin Long did not have the slightest dislike in his heart, but he felt that this wine was probably the purest wine in the world, and the more than 100 jars in his cellar that had been aged for 700 years were still sweet.

Da Zhuang drank a big sip of wine and put down the wine bowl, turned over two pieces of meat in the basin with chopsticks and put them in the empty bowl in front of the old company commander, and also turned over two pieces of meat clips to Qin Long, put away the chopsticks and looked at Qin Long and asked, "Young man, why did you send the old company commander back?"

Qin Long, who was about to give the two pieces of meat to Da Zhuang, hurriedly put down his chopsticks, looked at Da Zhuang and said, "Uncle Da Zhuang, my name is Qin Long, and I am from Nanao Island, Shishi, Guangdong Province. I didn't know the old company commander before, but an old company commander called me and asked me to help see the old company commander, so I sent the old company commander back. ”

Da Zhuang stretched out his hand and patted Qin Long's thigh, picked up the wine bowl with both hands and stretched out to Qin Long, and said sincerely: "Young man, you are a good person, I will replace the old company commander, and thank you in place of the old company commander's son." ”

A good guy?

Qin Long couldn't help but grin.

To be honest, Qin Long didn't feel that he was a good person, at best, he could only classify himself as a category of people who were harmless to society, and as for the evaluation of a good person, he was really ashamed.

Qin Long touched Da Zhuang with the wine bowl in both hands: "Uncle Da Zhuang, I used to be a soldier, I just did what an ordinary person should do, you really don't have to thank me, I can't stand it." ”

Da Zhuang nodded silently, who is a good person and who is a bad person, he has a rod and scale in his heart, and what others say doesn't count.

Da Zhuang took the wine bowl and turned to the old company commander's white marble urn, which didn't even have a photo but was very valuable, just like the old company commander himself was sitting there: "Old company commander, you drink too." ”

Qin Long secretly exhaled and sat at the same table as the urn to drink, this was the first time in his more than twenty years of life that he had encountered it, but he did not feel the slightest disharmony.
