After leaving the prosperous family, Zhuo Xiaodong walked alone on the street, but he thought of Liu Xixi from time to time.

"What's wrong with me, it's better for her to go out for a walk."

Unconsciously came to the bus stop, he planned to go to the gym to have a look, but without Liu Xixi, the driver, he could only take the bus.

It was still early, and there were five or six people standing at the bus stop.

One of the fashionably dressed beauties attracted Zhuo Xiaodong's attention, the beauty was wearing a leather coat, leather pants, boots, and short concise hair, and she could smell the perfume wafting from a distance.

At this moment, the beautiful woman is wearing headphones and playing with the mobile phone in her hand.

And there were several men standing around her, who were also playing with their mobile phones, but from time to time secretly looked at the beautiful women beside them.

Soon, a bus came to a steady stop in front of the platform with the sound of brakes.

Zhuo Xiaodong followed everyone on the bus, the bus was not too crowded, but the seats were already full, and the people who came up behind could only stand.

I saw the beautiful woman holding the railing with one hand and continuing to look at the phone.

The huge carriage could stand everywhere, and the men stood near the beautiful women.

Zhuo Xiaodong, who was watching, shook his head, and suddenly he inadvertently saw that the two men standing on both sides of the beauty actually made eye contact.

I thought that these people didn't know each other, but now it seems that things are not as simple as Zhuo Xiaodong imagined.

Of the four men who got into the car at the same time, two were standing next to the beautiful woman, and the other two seemed to be covering up.

Zhuo Xiaodong saw that something was wrong, and pretended to stumble forward and rushed forward.

As he expected, Zhuo Xiaodong was blocked by the man standing behind.

"Be careful, you almost stepped on my feet." The man looked disdainful at Zhuo Xiaodong.

Just as everyone's eyes were focused on Zhuo Xiaodong and the man, Zhuo Xiaodong saw that the hand of the man standing next to the beautiful woman had already begun to reach for the beauty's shoulder bag.

Today's pickpockets don't know how to pity the fragrance at all.

Seeing that Zhuo Xiaodong shook his head, he immediately waved his hand at the man who stopped him: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm a little sicksick." ”

Immediately pretended to be disgusting again.

The man immediately showed a look of disgust, and on the side of his body, Zhuo Xiaodong took the opportunity to slip over.

In this way, Zhuo Xiaodong directly penetrated the enemy, and the man who had already stretched out his hand to the beautiful woman's shoulder bag shrank back.

At this moment, Zhuo Xiaodong is standing behind the beauty, if the other party starts, he can see it at a glance.

The two men standing next to the beautiful woman began to make eye contact again, and the men on the other side immediately began to shift positions.

Soon, the man stood very naturally in the middle of Zhuo Xiaodong and the beauty, just blocking Zhuo Xiaodong's sight.

The beauty has been playing with her phone and seems to be in no idea of the situation in danger.

At the same time, the man standing beside her once again stretched out his evil claws towards the beauty.

Zhuo Xiaodong was blocked in front of him by another man, and he covered his mouth with an idea and posed as if he was about to erupt.

The man in front of him immediately dodged when he saw the situation, and Zhuo Xiaodong waved his hand at him apologetically.

At the same time, the man standing next to the beautiful woman retracted his hand again, and the unhappy expression on his face could be seen.

And the man who was originally in front of Zhuo Xiaodong also looked at Zhuo Xiaodong with indescribable anger.

At this time, the beauty took off the headphones and stuffed the phone back into her shoulder bag, looked at her watch, and began to move a few steps towards the back door.

Obviously, the beauty is about to arrive at the station and get ready to get off the train.

A few pickpockets were a little anxious, constantly exchanging information with eye contact.

This made Zhuo Xiaodong also admire it very much, and several people cooperated with each other very tacitly, obviously a veteran.

Perhaps thinking that there were not many opportunities, the four men all squeezed to the back door and looked like they were going to get out of the car.

At this time, one of the men stretched out his hand again, and his hand was looked at by an old lady behind him, but the old lady turned her head because of the vicious gaze of the pickpocket.

Now the pickpocket's arrogance became more and more arrogant, and he began to zip the beautiful woman's shoulder bag.

Seeing this, Zhuo Xiaodong forcibly squeezed past the man in front of him and came to the beautiful woman and asked, "May I ask which stop at People's Square?" ”

The beauty turned her head to Zhuo Xiaodong with a disgusted expression, and said impatiently, "Next stop." ”

And the pickpocket beside her reluctantly retracted his hand and looked at Zhuo Xiaodong through gritted teeth.

At this time, the man standing next to Zhuo Xiaodong whispered in Zhuo Xiaodong's ear: "Little ghost, get out of the way, or I will kill you." ”

Zhuo Xiaodong turned his head to look at him, and said with an innocent face: "Uncle, you recognize the wrong person!" ”

Just then, the bus stopped, and the back door slammed open.

The beauty hesitated for a moment, but finally got off the bus.

After Zhuo Xiaodong got out of the car, the four men also got out of the car angrily.

Taking advantage of the fact that the four men hadn't caught up, Zhuo Xiaodong walked quickly to the beauty and pretended to pass by: "Those men are pickpockets, be careful." ”

"Be careful yourself!"

The beauty's response made Zhuo Xiaodong instantly petrified.

What does this mean exactly? Did she know that the other party was a pickpocket, could it be that they were in a gang?

"Little bastard, stop."

Behind him came the man's angry voice.

At this moment, it is still early, there are no pedestrians on the road, and there are at least 100 meters away from the community.

It seems that the pickpockets have decided to give up pickpocketing that beauty, and their target now is Zhuo Xiaodong.

The beauty froze slightly when she heard the sound, and continued to walk forward.

Zhuo Xiaodong turned his head to look at the four men behind him, looked around again, and finally nodded himself with his hand: "Talk to me?" ”

Soon, the four men came up and surrounded Zhuo Xiaodong, and the man led by him said coldly: "You kid continue to pretend, it's a good thing to ruin us in the car, don't you like to see righteousness and bravery?" ”

After that, the four men dragged Zhuo Xiaodong into an alley on the side of the road.

"There's no one around, I'm going to beat you up so much that you can't even recognize your mother." The man at the head showed a playful expression at Zhuo Xiaodong.

"Big brothers, you really recognize the wrong person, but..." ”

At this time, Zhuo Xiaodong, who had always been submissive, began to move his muscles, and under the surprised gaze of the four pickpockets, he waved his fist in the air a few times, revealing a confident evil smile.

"The kid still can't fight back, it seems that you are really tired of being alive." The man at the head rushed forward.

After Zhuo Xiaodong finished moving his hands, he put his hand on his chest and kicked the man in the stomach.

The man fainted.

Without waiting for the other three to rush forward, Zhuo Xiaodong took the lead in walking towards them.

may have felt Zhuo Xiaodong's strength, and several people were extremely annoyed and turned their heads to escape.

But how could Zhuo Xiaodong let them go, and put a few of them on the ground in three or two strokes.

At this moment, Zhuo Xiaodong heard the footsteps of high heels from the mouth of the alley not far away.

He immediately squatted in the corner of the wall and hugged his head and said to himself: "Big brothers, don't slap your face, don't slap your face." ”

The beauty glanced at the four men who had fainted, and walked to Zhuo Xiaodong's side: "Don't pretend, it's about to thunder." ”

Before the words fell, a loud bang was heard in the air.

Zhuo Xiaodong's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly made a shut up gesture at the beauty, waved his hand and ran away.

On the road outside the alley, a large truck stopped on the side of the road with a flat tire.

After Zhuo Xiaodong walked away, the beauty took out her mobile phone: "I caught four annoyances in the alley of No. 325 Xingguang Street, and sent a car to support." ”

The sun rises slowly in the morning, the sun shines down and sweeps away the chill of the night, and the old people who exercise in the morning show a satisfied look in the sun.

In fact, sometimes happiness is so simple, a ray of sunshine in winter, and a smile after passing by.

Zhuo Xiaodong hurriedly walked towards the gym with a look on his face, and then a familiar figure came into his eyes. A shabby cotton coat, a rusty tricycle, a wrinkled old man.

Isn't this the old man who picked up the rags that Zhuo Xiaodong helped at the beginning?

Zhuo Xiaodong ran towards the uncle with some excitement, this uncle was the turning point in his life.

"Uncle..."

The old man with a hunched back slowly turned around, looked around, and finally locked his eyes on Zhuo Xiaodong.

Obviously, the old man recognized Zhuo Xiaodong, and his face also showed surprise.

"It's you, young man, thank you so much that time, I haven't had time to thank you properly." The old man looked very excited.

"It's a trivial matter, uncle, are you feeling better?" Zhuo Xiaodong saw the current situation of the uncle, and a chill rose in his heart.

"It's much better, I'm older, it's useless." The old man looked helpless, he took Zhuo Xiaodong's hand and said, "Young man, I don't know what your name is!" Take a walk and go to my house for a drink. ”

"Okay!" Anyway, he was also worried in his heart, just to relieve his boredom.

Zhuo Xiaodong pushed the uncle's tricycle full of scraps, talking and laughing along the way.

This uncle's name is Guo Yong, and he is still a retired veteran, which makes Zhuo Xiaodong even more curious.

I followed the old man for a long time and came to a house demolition area.

It was surrounded by demolished and dilapidated houses, and after walking for a while, I saw a simple house surrounded by iron sheets, and a large courtyard surrounded by iron sheets.

It was full of messy rags, waste paper, scrap iron, and plastic bottles all over the floor.

"What we do is that the family is a little messy, don't mind!" The old man smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Uncle Guo, you are still self-reliant at such an old age, I admire it too late!" Zhuo Xiaodong gave a thumbs up to the old man.

"I'm just going to die." The old man's face showed a lonely look, as if there was some pain in his heart.

Walking into the simple room of the elderly, it is much cleaner than the outside. The room was simply furnished, with a bed, a table and a few stools, a wardrobe and some kitchen supplies.

"Sit down, Xiaodong." The old man warmly invited Zhuo Xiaodong to sit down and began to get busy.

Looking at the old man's living environment, Zhuo Xiaodong's heart felt sour.

"I don't have any good things here, and I can't afford to drink this bottle of good wine all the time, so today you came to drink with me." The old man took out a bottle of Moutai from under the bed and brought a stack of peanuts.

"Moutai, good thing." Zhuo Xiaodong could see at a glance that the price of this bottle of wine on the market was at least thousands of yuan.

"My old comrade-in-arms sent it, but now he is a retired old cadre, and we can't compare with him." The old man smiled bitterly.

Zhuo Xiaodong has also seen a lot of news, and many retired veterans are living a life of hunger, and their lives are very difficult.

"After you retired, didn't the army assign you a half-officer position?" Zhuo Xiaodong asked.

"How can you! At that time, all the people who had relationships went up, and ordinary people like us were dismissed after taking the money, and it was better to be idle. Uncle Guo said with a smile.

Zhuo Xiaodong drank tea, and the old man drank.

After three cups, the old man's conversation box was also opened.

"Uncle, where is your family?" Zhuo Xiaodong asked with some curiosity.

I saw that the old man's face showed a look of pain, and a line of tears unconsciously slipped down his eyes.

"My wife died early, my son is still in prison, my daughter-in-law ran away with my grandson, and I am left with a lonely old man." Speaking of sadness, Uncle Guo poured a glass of wine violently.

This also surprised Zhuo Xiaodong, and made him very curious about what happened to the old man.

"What happened?" Zhuo Xiaodong asked.

"It's not a matter of house demolition, our village was reluctant to demolish it because the compensation was too small. Later, the developer found the gangsters in the society and forcibly drove us away, and my son got into a fight with the gangsters because he was angry, and killed someone by mistake. At that time, this incident also attracted a lot of attention from the society, and after the death, the developer was also ordered to stop work, and it became what it is now. The old man's face was full of helplessness.

Zhuo Xiaodong frowned, due to the rapid development of the real estate industry, housing prices are rising, so forced demolition incidents are not uncommon in today's society.

"It's disgusting." Hearing this, Zhuo Xiaodong gritted his teeth. "Then your son was sentenced to a few years, didn't you go to your old comrades-in-arms to help?"

"12 years, why haven't I looked for it, it's useless to look for it. Those old comrades-in-arms who were officials have retired and said that they can't do anything, in fact, I also know that no one wants to be involved in such a thing. Uncle Guo's face was full of helplessness.

Zhuo Xiaodong gradually felt that these retired veterans should be pushed to the focus of society and the attention of the people. They once braved the rain of bullets and bullets just to defend the motherland from infringement, and they should not end up like this.

The liberation of the motherland and the people's living and working in peace and contentment are indispensable to their contributions, which were all exchanged by these soldiers of the older generation with their blood and flesh.

The old man's son committed a murder, and Zhuo Xiaodong naturally couldn't help, but he could at least help the old man live better.

He thought that the activity of caring for the elderly held by Su Qian might allow the veterans to reunite and relive those bloody years.

Zhuo Xiaodong immediately said: "Uncle, how about I want to get your former veterans together?" Do you still have their contact details? ”

After saying that, Zhuo Xiaodong realized that he had asked a stupid question, it has been decades, and even if he has contact information, he may be difficult to contact again.

"Yes, yes, but most people can't get in touch, and at this age, I don't think there are many people alive." However, when he heard Zhuo Xiaodong's suggestion, the old man also raised his interest and seemed a little excited.

Indeed, in that era when medical treatment was not very developed, these veterans almost all had a little injury on their body after retiring, and as they grew older, these old injuries became their entanglement.

This is also the reason why Zhuo Xiaodong came up with this idea, if he can use his own strength to reunite these veterans, let them know that the society and the people have not forgotten their elderly heroes.

"Uncle Guo, think about it, I think this matter is very necessary, not only to reunite your old comrades-in-arms, but also to get the attention and care of all walks of life." Zhuo Xiaodong was extremely excited in his heart.

Guo Yong pondered for a long time, and suddenly seemed to think of something, he pulled out a worn-out suitcase from under the bed.

I opened the suitcase and pulled out a tin box from a pile of clothes.

An old notepad appeared in the old man's hand, he put on a pair of reading glasses, licked his fingers and slowly opened the notepad, gradually sinking into the memory.
