Ye Chen was really shocked, a little dizzy. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Zeng Guoming's old friend is called Ye Xiandong, a native of Fengzhou, half of the ball of his foot is gone, and a piece of shrapnel is left in his lumbar vertebrae, which is so consistent with his father.

Is it really Dad? Ye Chen couldn't help but ask himself in his heart.

"Lao Zeng, I remember the person you said, his performance was outstanding, and the head of the headquarters personally issued an order to award him a first-class meritorious hero." Zhao Baiwen seemed to remember something.

"That's right." Zeng Guoming was very emotional, and said: "How rare it is to have an order signed by the head of the headquarters himself." There are not many people in the whole country who have such glory. ”

"yes. I don't think about it in my life. Zhao Baiwen's face was full of admiration.

As a fellow soldier, Zhao Baiwen knows very well how rare it is for the head of the headquarters to personally sign an order. If you really want such an honor, what more can you ask for?

Ye Chen shook his head, he was sure that he wasn't his father.

"By the way, Lao Zeng, is the old Xiao you are talking about Xiao Bingnan?" Zhao Baiwen asked with some gossip: "I know that during the self-defense counterattack, he was the deputy company commander and made a lot of achievements. Outstanding talent, step by step, became a lieutenant general, and was hailed as the future star of our army. ”

"That's right, it's him." Zeng Guoming nodded.

"It's a pity that this Ye Xiandong, if others don't abolish it, he will definitely be a tiger general." Zhao Baiwen shook his head, very emotional, very sorry.

Think about it, what a remarkable achievement it is for a person to be awarded a first-class meritorious service by an order signed by the head of the headquarters. Not to mention, he also put forward the "combing tactics", which relieved the difficulties of our army and made such outstanding military achievements.

His subordinates have all become lieutenant generals, and if others are not abolished, the future is limitless.

"Not really. Our company now has two lieutenant generals and three major generals. Zeng Guoming was very proud and said: "Which of the companies participating in the self-defense counterattack dare to compare with us?" ”

"Indeed." Zhao Baiwen said very regretfully: "Ye Xiandong brought out two lieutenant generals and three major generals, if he himself is not abolished, the future is limitless." It's a pity, it's a ”

Zeng Guoming shook his head painfully, with a look of regret.

"By the way, Lao Zeng, Xiao Ye's father is likely to be your old friend. Have you ever thought that the pain is very tormenting, and after decades of torture, even the strongest physique will lose weight. Zhao Baiwen's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly reminded him.

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Zeng Guoming slapped his forehead heavily, his face was sudden, and he regained hope, and said, "Xiao Ye, your father is my old friend, it won't be wrong." ”

"Elder Zeng, you may be mistaken, my dad won't be your old friend." Ye Chen shook his head and said.

"Why are you so sure?" Zhao Baiwen asked.

"Yes. There is shrapnel left in the lumbar vertebrae, which is very painful, and after decades of torture, even the iron man will lose weight, and your father is very thin, which is normal. Zeng Guoming said busily.

"Elder Zeng, what you said makes sense, but my dad doesn't have first-class merit, only third-class merit, so the person you are looking for is not my dad." Ye Chen was very sure.

"Really?" Zhao Baiwen and Zeng Guoming asked in unison.

"Of course. My dad was very tight-tongued and rarely talked about his past, but I believe that it was a privilege for the head of the headquarters to issue an order, and he would not fail to tell me. Ye Chen explained, "I have never heard of my father making a first-class meritorious service, I have only seen his third-class meritorious medal." ”

"Makes sense, too." Zhao Baiwen thought so, nodded heavily, and said, "If I can get first-class merit, I will definitely tell my descendants." It's not that I'm vain, it's the glory I deserve. ”

"That's right." Zeng Guoming thought so.

The order signed by the head of the headquarters was awarded a first-class meritorious service, which is such an honor, and there are not many in the entire Celestial Empire. This is an affirmation of his outstanding contributions, and it is not vanity to tell posterity that it is a matter of course.

Anyone would do that.

Although Ye Xiandong was very tight-mouthed and rarely talked about his past, Ye Chen believed that if there was such a thing, his father would definitely tell him.

"Lao Zeng, haven't you looked for it?" Zhao Baiwen asked again.

"How could you not have looked for it? In the years when Lao Ye was discharged from the army, we still had contact, correspondence and so on. Later, he was lost and we tried our best to find him. Zeng Guoming looked disappointed and said: "Today I thought I could get the news of Lao Ye, but it turned out that I was extravagant." ”

"Is the other one still there?" Zhao Baiwen asked.

"I don't know." Zeng Guoming shook his head.

"You can go to the local government. Even if you can't do it, if you do it as Lieutenant General Xiao, will the local government dare not say it? "Zhao Baiwen is very strange.

"Not only Lao Xiao, but a few of us have asked, but the local government is not supportive, and it seems that they are reluctant to say." Zeng Guoming said.

"Why don't you want to say it? Could it be that something bad is happening? Zhao Baiwen guessed.

"Lao Zhao, let me tell you, you don't have to speculate there." Zeng Guoming's face was taken down, and his tone was very stern: "Who is Lao Ye, I don't know yet?" That's a tough guy! He led us from birth to death without ambiguity. How is my style with Lao Xiao? It's not that I'm boasting, it's really not covered, and it's still not as good as Lao Ye. It is impossible for Lao Ye to do something sorry for the country. ”

"Lao Zeng, don't get excited, don't get excited, I'm just talking." Zhao Baiwen rarely saw an old friend get angry, so he hurriedly comforted him, and said: "The local government is reluctant to say it, there must be a reason, right?" ”

"We don't know exactly what's going on. I really want to go to Lao Ye's hometown to look for it, but I am too busy with work to find time. Zeng Guoming was very distressed.

A top medical master like Zeng Guoming is very busy with work, and it is really not easy to find time to go to Fengzhou to find someone.

"At that time, our medical conditions were far from adequate and we could not perform surgery. I secretly swore that I must take out the shrapnel of Lao Ye, and I have been studying medical skills hard. With the increase of the country's strength, our medical conditions are getting better and better, and we can finally have surgery, but we can't find Lao Ye anymore. Zeng Guoming's face was disappointed.

"I don't know where Lao Ye is, and I don't know how he is doing." Zeng Guoming muttered to himself.

Ye Chen and Zhao Baiwen were very moved, Zeng Guoming has been studying medicine for decades for his old friend, and he has been remembering his old friend, and this friendship is very rare.

"Don't talk about that, I'll look at the information." Zeng Guoming put away his mind and began to read the information. Looking at it, he raised his head suddenly, stared at Ye Chen, and asked, "Xiao Ye, are you sure that your father has not made a first-class meritorious service?" ”

"Sure, yes, yes." Ye Chen was very sure that his father didn't have first-class merit.

"Lao Zeng, what's wrong?" Zhao Baiwen asked suspiciously.

"The position of this shrapnel is exactly the same as that of Lao Ye." Zeng Guoming said.

"Lao Zeng, will you be mistaken?" Zhao Baiwen asked.

"No way. I remember it very clearly. After Lao Ye was injured, I bandaged it. Later, the state wanted to operate on him, but considering that the shrapnel was too close to the nerve, it was impossible to perform the operation due to the medical conditions at the time, so it gave up. Zeng Guoming is very sure that he will not be mistaken.

"It should be a coincidence. We soldiers have a saying that 'shells don't fall in the same crater', but sometimes they still fall in the same crater, but the chances are too small. It's a coincidence that this happens. Zhao Baiwen said.

"That's all I can say." Zeng Guoming nodded, and then looked at the information.

After a while, Zeng Guoming raised his head.

Ye Chen suddenly became nervous, and asked cautiously, "Elder Zeng, can you have surgery?" ”
