Chapter 523: True Righteousness
The old man's words were impassioned, indignant, and resentful, and his words exuded a strong hatred for some people in the officialdom today. At that time, with their loyalty and love for China, when they were employing people in China, they rushed to the battlefield abroad regardless of their lives; The war was over and victorious, but the brutality of the war also made it impossible for them to live like normal people. After being discharged from the army, in order not to delay the country's development and retreat, they are self-reliant, but the older they get, the weaker their ability becomes, and they have no offspring to support them, so they can only lower their dignity and ask the government for pension.
But the result?
There is no such person!
Hehe......
This result not only cooled the old man's heart, but also completely cooled the loyal souls who left their lives abroad.
How could the old man not be angry in his heart?
Compared with those corrupt officials who know how to fill their pockets and put the revolutionary's pension in their pockets, Zhou Chen is simply a kind and good person. How can the old man be satisfied that such a person is said to be a cruel and dangerous object? He is a person with a strong personality, and he can't hold back what he says.
The comrades of the State Education Bureau present were stunned by the old man's passionate words, smiled helplessly, and said: "Old man, we will record what happened to you, and we will reflect it to the above when we have time; It's just that those two are really outlaws, and they injured a lot of people not long ago, if you always know the whereabouts of the two of them, can you tell me? ”
"I don't know."
The old man grimaced, said coldly, turned around and walked towards the dilapidated house where he lived.
The cadres of the State Education Bureau looked at each other and smiled bitterly, Pu Xiaoming was filled with indignation, and shouted angrily: "A group of corrupt things, this matter must be reported to the superiors; The foundation of the nation is the people; Such a move really chilled the hearts of the people, and these scum who swallowed even the pensions of the older generation of revolutionaries must be severely punished. ”
Xiao Pu was right, the matter was immediately reported to the superiors, and at the same time someone was sent to do the ideological work of the elderly; In addition, since Zhou Chen and the others had been to this village, they immediately sent people to pursue them on all possible roads. Liu Ying was seriously injured and couldn't escape. One of the elders, who seemed to have a higher position than Pu Xiaoming, ordered.
"Yes."
The crowd responded and quickly split up.
"Deputy Bureau Liao, I'll go do the old man's ideological work!" Pu Xiaoming thought about it and took the initiative to ask.
"Yes, go ahead!" Liao Qingshan nodded and said.
Pu Xiaoming nodded, and walked towards the old man's house; The old man's home is very dilapidated, it really can't be called home, it's just a small hut, Pu Xiaoming knocked on the door. The old man poked his head out and saw that the person who came was actually the same group from before, his face immediately straightened, and he said coldly: "I have already told you, I don't know." ”
"Old man, please don't be angry, I'm here to see you."
Pu Xiaoming said with a smile on his face, glanced back at the door, made sure that no one was coming, and said to the old man: "Old man, can you let me enter the house, let's have a good talk." ”
Regarding Pu Xiaoming's gentle attitude, the old man's-for-tat momentum has also weakened a lot, he thought about it, and said lightly: "My family is shabby, I'm afraid the official can't adapt to it." ”
"Hah...... Look at what you said, old man, what kind of official am I! It's just a minion. Besides, when I was a child, I studied art with my master, and I never slept anywhere, let alone this kind of warm hut, even if it was a cave or the bottom of a bridge. Pu Xiaoming said with a smile.
"Then come in!"
In the face of Pu Xiaoming's unpretentious behavior, the old man's heart was eliminated a lot, and he still said coldly.
Pu Xiaoming thanked him and bent down into the low, damp hut. It was still warm in the hut, breakfast had just been made, and the fire in the stove had just been extinguished; The hut was small, almost twenty square meters, with a shabby wooden table, a few small benches, and a bed, and nothing else!
"Old man, where are your children?" Pu Xiaoming entered the room, sat on the bench, and took the lead in asking.
"Hey...... I joined the army at the age of 20 and wanted to get married, but just in time to resist US aggression and aid Korea, I joined the army; The lungs were punctured in the war, although he did not die, but he also fell ill, and he couldn't even do physical work, he married a wife after leaving the army, and the two wanted to have children, and I was unwilling to ask the government for a pension when I was young, and I had no culture, so I lived with my wife by collecting waste, but who would have thought that my wife had cancer two years ago, and all my savings were spent, in order to treat my wife, I licked my face and asked the government for a pension, but the result was ...... Those bastards actually said that there was no such thing as me to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Lao Tzu had won the medal back then, but they said that the medal was fake. The old man's face turned blue with anger at the end, and he roared indignantly.
"Didn't you continue looking for it after that?"
"Why didn't you look for it? I searched for all the departments I could find, but all the results were the same, and in the end, my hard-working wife was kicked out of the hospital for dragging the medical bills, and died on the way back. It's because of these inhuman bastards. ”
The old man's sunken eyes flashed with cloudy tears, and his heart was full of anger and helplessness, helplessness towards this society.
"Old man, I deeply sympathize with your old experience, we will definitely report this matter to our superiors as soon as possible, and I hope to give you an explanation." Pu Xiaoming was also sad in his heart, dedicated to Huaxia, and almost lost his life, and retired from the army with an injury, but he didn't expect Huaxia to say that there was no such person as him in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. The pain in the old man's heart is not only the money, not only the departure of his wife, but also the heartache of being abandoned by the country.
The feeling was worse than slashing their hearts with a knife.
Will they think that what is the purpose of serving the country at a young age?
"Hey...... I also understand that Huaxia is right, the fault is only some corrupt people, and it is nothing if this happened to me alone, just suffer a little grievance! But if this continues, the hearts of the entire Chinese people will be cold, and who will stand up in the future when the country is in danger? Child, do you think that's the reason? The old man said with a stiff mouth, wiped the tears from his wrinkled face with his dry hands.
"That's right, you're right, you're always right!"
Hearing the old man's words, Pu Xiaoming was full of respect for the old man; When he was wronged, he didn't think about himself at all, he still thought about the country.
Such people are truly righteous people.
"You came to tell me so much, and I know what you're for? From the two of them, I noticed that something was wrong, the blood on their bodies was not as simple as a fall, although I did not see the wounds, but I could see that after all, I was a person who had experienced life and death on the cruel battlefield; But the young man didn't come across like a bad guy to me, so I wouldn't tell you where they were. The old man sighed deeply and said resolutely.
"You're right, that young man is indeed not a bad person, maybe he has suffered the same grievances as you are."
"I'll just say it! That young man has more courage than I am, good, good! ”
The old man's face showed a look of relief, and the joy was overflowing.
