"Monkey cub, you shouldn't have always wanted your current identity, right?!" The imperial capital, in the courtyard of a certain alley. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Song Lao was dressed in a simple old green military uniform, and he was picking up the small vegetable garden in his yard. And Hou Dasheng is honestly helping the old man.

But he saw the old man chattering about the vegetable garden, and said casually without raising his head: "The head of the mercenary, although he is a jackal." As historic as it is, although it is indeed powerful. But that's not the end of the day. Your destination is in China. Roots, too, here. The head of the jackal cannot come back to live for a long time. ”

"I know......" helped the old man hoe the grass and set up the seedlings together. Hearing the old man's words, Hou Dasheng raised his head and said softly: "People have to have a beginning and an end to do things. When I was in the hardest time, it was the jackal who took me in. The head of the regiment is not kind to me, and people must know how to be grateful in return. ”

Seeing the old man getting up slowly, Hou Dasheng quickly clapped his hands and stepped forward to support the old man. Song Lao smiled slightly, waved his hand and motioned for him to continue. Hou Dasheng let go of his hand and said softly: "Jackal, I will continue to do it." Even if I left the jackal, I was a retired member of the jackal. ”

"In this life, it is neither long nor short. You have to do something that is worthy of you. I think that what is worthy of oneself is to be worthy of those who are worthy of oneself. Hou Dasheng's words were very tongue-twisting, but Song Lao understood it.

The old man smiled, patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "You are a Chinese after all, and you have your roots here." You've got to come back. Of course, retirement is also an option. It's not that it's a bad choice, but it's the worst of all......"

Hou Dasheng smiled helplessly, from Song Lao's standpoint, he didn't like mercenaries. Sell your life for money, even at the cost of creating wars. I believe that Song Lao knows very well what has happened. War animals, it's not just talking. Even now Hou Dasheng himself has to participate in the ranks of creating wars.

When you become a member of an interest group, many times you will become involuntary. This is true of the Silyeks family, and so is Hou Dasheng. It can even be said that the Hou family is the same. The children of the Hou family have been in the army for generations, and how many people have been killed and injured from hundreds of years ago to the present?!

No one has ever done accurate statistics on this number. During the Anti-Japanese War, a group of children of the Hou family went to the battlefield. Every month, you can see someone wearing linen and filial piety. A group of children died in battle, and the next group will go up.

"You know what? At that time, I was mobilized in Houjia Village, and I brought the first batch of sixty soldiers of the Hou family to kill twenty-five people in just three days......" Song Lao took Hou Dasheng back to the hall of the house, and asked Hou Dasheng to sit down and sit on the first seat himself: "Ten days, there are only three children left in the sixty Hou family......"

Hou Dasheng bowed his head and was silent, that period of history was the most painful loss of the Hou family. The children and grandchildren of the Hou family almost all know what happened during that time. In the past, Houjia Village was almost included in the area near the provincial capital. At that time, this piece was called Houjiaji.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there are 10,000 households. However, after the entire Anti-Japanese War, Houjiaji became Houjiacun......

"The political commissar and I went into the village again to mobilize, and none of the old and young of the Hou family coaxed it. I brought more than a hundred men to the battlefield......" Song Lao said, his voice trembling slightly. He looked at Hou Dasheng, and his eyes were a little red: "It's only been five days, and it's a big battle." In order to cover the retreat of the masses, only six of the more than 100 men were seriously injured......"

Song Lao's voice began to tremble visibly after saying this. The secretary behind him looked at the old man worriedly, wanting to say something. But he was interrupted by Song Lao raising his hand: "I really don't dare to recruit anymore, and I don't have the face to recruit anymore." The political commissar and I went to the Hou family to kneel down for the young and old of the Hou family. I just want the village to give me some coffins...... In those years, the old people began to prepare coffins for themselves from a young age. ”

"But when the political commissar and I never expected it, the old ladies of the village invited us to the ancestral hall. Then he asked me: Have the children of the Hou family been cowardly on the battlefield? ! Song Lao said, suddenly stood up and looked at Hou Dasheng word by word: "My answer, just one sentence: no!" Not a single one! It's all good! The bullets were all shot through the chest, and none of them hit the back! They were all sacrificed on the way to charge and kill the enemy! ”

Song Lao seemed to have exhausted all his strength at once, and the secretary supported him. Slowly sat down in the chair. The old man stared at Hou Dasheng with eagle-like eyes in a hoarse voice: "The old ladies of the Hou family immediately burned the yellow watch and told the ancestors of the Hou family: The children of the Hou family died in the battlefield of protecting the family and defending the country, and there was no one who cowardd!" ”

"After burning the yellow watch, more than two hundred children of the Hou family stood up again." Song Lao's words came to this, but they were full of tears: "The biggest ones are over forty years old." The youngest was only thirteen years old......"

"I don't dare to recruit! all know that the generations of military generals of the Hou family can write and know martial arts, and they are all good seedlings who are soldiers. But hundreds of children handed it over to me......" Song Lao couldn't help but wipe his eyes, Hou Dasheng's lips squirmed slightly, but he didn't know what he could say.

Hou Dasheng was very clear about the situation in that period of history. As the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Hou family, how could he not know that the Hou family would grit their teeth when they mentioned the Japanese. Every household has hidden the trophies of the Japanese army captured by the ancestors from the battlefield.

From the adjutant's saber to the military cao's. There are also a lot of bayonets, lunch boxes, pocket watches, watches...... And so on, even the southern pistols were not less at home back then. Later, they were all handed in, but the sabers were still kept. If you get it, it's enough to open a museum.

The Hou family didn't think about opening a museum, but the best trophies in the family were sent to the ancestral hall. Not to give these loot, of course. It was thrown into the small treasury on the edge of the ancestral hall, so that the descendants of the Hou family could see the exploits of the ancestors.

In that storehouse, you can still see all kinds of loot won by the ancestors in the southern and northern wars. Most of them are swords and armor, and in modern times, there are even trophies captured by the U.S. and Vietnamese troops from the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea and the Self-Defense Counterattack.

However, behind these trophies are the bloody lives of the children of the Hou family. Generations of ancestors went to the battlefield without hesitation. Fight again and again, and then bring back their exploits. Tell the descendants of the Hou family that that family motto must not be forgotten.

"After the Anti-Japanese War for so many years, I didn't recruit the children of the Hou family. But the Hou family has never sent people to the battlefield. Song Lao took the towel and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Hou Jiaji...... It was brutally beaten into Houjia Village. Those of us, regardless of whether we sacrificed back then or survived to the present. No one dares to forget the Hou family's efforts from the Anti-Japanese War to the present. ”

Song Lao said, and looked at Hou Dasheng fixedly: "Monkey cub, we old things are already old." It's old. Sooner or later, we all have to go to see our old comrades-in-arms. This country, after all, has to be supported by you young people. ”

"You are the son of the Hou family, so you have to inherit your responsibilities. Don't forget your family motto! Don't forget, how the ancestors sacrificed! You have to be worthy of those ancestors! ”

Having said that, what else can Hou Dasheng say. He looked at Song Lao with a wry smile and said softly: "I will definitely not leave behind the responsibilities of the family." After all, I am still a cub of the Hou family. At the sound of an order, I will definitely carry the gun if necessary. Not a word of ambiguity! ”

"But, old man! You also have to be considerate of me, and I have a responsibility to my family. I also have a responsibility to my brothers who depend on me for food. Hou Dasheng really felt a little sad, and said astringently to the old man: "I have to settle them down before I can let go and return to China." There will be no conflict between them and us. I can be sure of that. ”

When Song Lao heard this, his eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly: "What if, the interests of both of us conflict......

Hou Dasheng looked at Song Lao and did not avoid his gaze at all: "The people of our Hou family, the entire family motto can be summed up in only one sentence: At any time, under any circumstances, the interests of the Chinese national and Chinese nation must be above all politics, beliefs and ideologies!! This is my promise to you! ”

"Good!!" Song Lao's eyes suddenly widened, and after Hou Dasheng's words came out, a burst of laughter like firecrackers broke out: "Hahahaha...... Sure enough, it's the Hou family's species, my old thing didn't misunderstand you! It's a pity that your aunt is not blessed, otherwise you would have to call her aunt now. I don't know, your cousin is fighting for the country......"

Men are talking about men's things, and women are doing women's things. The old lady of Song's hometown also came out of the war years with Song Lao. The two of them had three sons and one daughter. The eldest son died in self-defense and counterattack.

The remaining two are still serving in the army. The most thing the old lady has done in her life is to serve her old man. From food to clothes, it doesn't matter. For example, now, she is making Song Lao's favorite braised pork. Lisa, on the other hand, was smiling and groaning.

"You girl is not only handsome, but also hardworking and has no shelves. Blessed is the little monkey. "The old lady is not fat, and her body is very strong due to years of exercise. Hearing the old lady's praise, Lisa's face turned a little red: "No! You've got a reputation! ”

"Hahaha...... What are you shy, don't worry! Although the old woman is old, she is neither blind nor deaf. If the monkey cub bullies you, come back and tell the old woman. The old lady laughed: "When the time comes, the old woman will take a rolling pin for you to clean him up!" Come on, come on...... The old woman will teach you how to make dumplings, and the filling of this dumpling has to do this......"
