Chapter 52: The Instructor

Uncle Guo carefully opened the crumpled and gray papers, which were densely covered with words.

This notebook is the home address of every soldier in Uncle Guo's company when he was discharged from the army and the soldiers' blessings to each other.

Each soldier had one of these notebooks in their hands, just to be reunited after a few years, but they never thought that the situation after going their separate ways would be worlds apart.

After being discharged from the army, they basically embarked on a political career, not to mention the promotion of the relationship, but those civilian-born soldiers could only return to the countryside to protect their crops after they were discharged.

As an ordinary farmer, this bloody day has become the best memory in their hearts.

Perhaps one sunny afternoon, the grandson leaned on his grandfather's lap and listened with relish the story of his grandfather's brave resistance to the enemy and defense of his territory on the battlefield.

This is glory.

"Xiaodong, you see, this is the address of our instructor at the beginning, there was no phone in those days, so we could only leave the address in order to be able to reunite in the future." Uncle Guo also looked a little excited.

If it weren't for Zhuo Xiaodong's appearance, except in a dream, he wouldn't dare to think that he would be able to reunite with his friends of life and death before he died.

Zhuo Xiaodong carefully took the notepad, which was full of memories and blessings.

Zhao Jianlong: Instructor of the XXXX unit of the field company of the North China Military Region, living in Liuxia Village, Linhai City. The days of bullets and bullets are finally over, and our motherland is victorious. Guo Yong, you are a brave soldier on the battlefield, I hope you will bring this courage back to your hometown, make a contribution to the prosperity of your hometown, and a better tomorrow is waiting for us to open up.

Zhuo Xiaodong looked at this bold statement, and his heart was also very excited.

It seems that he is in that war-torn era, eight years of anti-Japanese war, the motherland finally ushered in victory, what a glory for a soldier.

"Uncle Guo, I didn't expect your instructor to be a fellow countryman with you!"

Uncle Guo pointed to the Moutai wine and said with a smile: "This wine was given by him, and now that they are all retired, they should live in the sanatorium for retired cadres." I went to him many times last year for my son's affairs, and he was the director of the Public Security Department at the beginning, but he couldn't help him with anything as soon as he retired. ”

Zhuo Xiaodong was also quite emotional, both were heroes of the Anti-Japanese War, but the treatment was worlds apart.

Perhaps it is such a strong contrast that reflects the cruelty of this reality all the more.

"Then looking for him should be able to connect with some old soldiers!" Zhuo Xiaodong asked.

"His son is Zhao Ziguang, the current director of the Linhai City Public Security Bureau, and the TongguΓ² Public Security Bureau should be able to find those lost comrades." Although Uncle Guo is old, his thinking is very clear.

"Zhao Ziguang? I can't imagine that this world is so small. ”

"You know?"

"I have had a relationship, so I know each other!" Zhuo Xiaodong said with a smile.

At this moment, Guo Yong's heart, which had been silent for decades, seemed to rekindle the flames, and the young faces flashed in his mind one by one, and he will never forget those war-torn days for the rest of his life.

After so many lonely days and nights, Uncle Guo often thinks of his comrades-in-arms.

In that era of poverty and lack of resources, the friendship between the soldiers and the belief in victory were the greatest motivation to support them.

A bottle of Moutai was quickly drunk by him, and Uncle Guo said with the strength of the wine: "Xiaodong, then let's go to the instructor and let our field company reunite." ”

Zhuo Xiaodong was also passionate when he heard this, got up and said with a smile: "Just go." ”

An old man and a young man left the scrapyard and flagged down a taxi on the street.

The scenery outside the car window slowly moves from the noisy city to the quiet suburbs, and the surrounding mountains and rivers form a beautiful landscape.

The sanatorium for retired cadres is located here, and along a cement road, taxis are parked in front of the sanatorium.

I saw that there were two soldiers in military uniforms standing guard at the sentry box at the door, and the soldiers did not move at all under the bright sun, as if they were integrated with the surrounding environment, and they were natural.

Zhuo Xiaodong and Uncle Guo walked towards the gate, and the soldier who stood like a statue finally spoke: "Please show your pass." ”

Uncle Guo immediately smiled and said, "Comrade! I'm looking for Zhao Jianlong, I'm his comrade-in-arms, can you help inform me. ”

The soldier standing guard looked at Uncle Guo, who was flushed and full of alcohol, and then glanced at Zhuo Xiaodong, who was smiling.

"No entry is allowed without a pass."

The soldier's emotionless words were like a basin of cold water pouring the two of them from head to toe, and the fiery heart was instantly half cold.

"Big brother, we really have something urgent, this is an old anti-Japanese hero, for the sake of everyone being a soldier, let's help inform us!" Zhuo Xiaodong threw out the sympathy card.

The soldier was silent, apparently struggling.

The old man in shabby clothes in front of him didn't look like an old anti-Japanese hero, but the soldier standing guard hesitated after looking into Uncle Guo's eyes.

Perhaps it was the soldier's intuition, he seemed to feel something.

For modern soldiers, the military talents in that era of the Anti-Japanese War are the most worthy of their admiration.

In that era of food scarcity and weapons shortage, our soldiers created miracles again and again, proving to the world that Chinese soldiers are invincible.

Finally, Zhuo Xiaodong saw a hint of reverence in the eyes of the soldier standing guard.

"Wait a minute."

I saw the soldier trotting inside with a standard military step, and only turned back after a while.

"Come with me!"

Following the soldier to the reception room on the second floor of the sanatorium, he saw an old man with white hair but full of energy already sitting inside.

"Ah Yong, why are you here..." Zhao Jianlong looked a little excited after seeing Uncle Guo.

"Instructor Zhao, Guo Yong reports..." Perhaps it was a habit in the army that could not be abandoned, Guo Yong gave a military salute to Zhao Jianlong.

may not have used this etiquette for many years, or it is an old relationship, this military etiquette is not standard, but it allows everyone to vaguely see the military demeanor of that era.

"Sit down, is there anything you have to do with me this time? By the way, what's going on with your son? Zhao Jianlong showed a trace of guilt on his face.

"It's still inside, and if you do something wrong, you have to let him take responsibility for it." Uncle Guo shook his head, he looked at the elderly instructor: "Instructor Zhao, I came this time to ask you a favor." Let's see if we can gather our original field company and reunite with us. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Jianlong's eyes also lit up, and his hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in his heart.

"You, why did you have this idea?"

Guo Yong looked at Zhuo Xiaodong with a smile on his face, "It was this child who inspired me, and after learning that I was a veteran, he encouraged me to let everyone get together and relive the time of the year." ”

Zhuo Xiaodong nodded at Zhao Jianlong and smiled: "Hello Uncle Zhao, my name is Zhuo Xiaodong, and I just participated in a public welfare activity with the theme of caring for the elderly. Thinking of those veterans who fought bloodily for the liberation of the motherland is worthy of our respect, perhaps the people in this society have long forgotten them. Therefore, we want everyone to remember that today's beautiful life was created by you veterans with blood and flesh on the battlefield. ”

Zhao Jianlong was also excited at the moment, staring at Zhuo Xiaodong tightly and speechless for a while.

"Child, your mention is very good, I am very much in favor of it." Zhao Jianlong was so excited that his voice trembled.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a girl wearing a pink cashmere sweater and jeans walked in with two cups of tea in her hands.

"Grandpa, the tea is here..." The one who spoke was the beautiful woman Zhuo Xiaodong met by chance on the bus.
