Aunt Wang's family lives in the countryside.

learned from the driver's eldest brother that Aunt Wang refused all the treatment given to her by the army before retiring. Willingly returned to her hometown and married the man who had been waiting for her for ten years. Now the two are full of children and grandchildren, and they are still living happily.

After entering the village, I turned a few corners, and when I arrived at a house with a national flag on the gate, the driver's eldest brother stopped the car: "It's here, let's go down." Shen Yun took the three soldiers out of the trunk and took out the condolence materials, and when he walked in the door, he saw Aunt Wang choosing vegetables around her apron. Seeing the figures of Shen Yun and the driver's eldest brother, he put down the vegetables in his hand and greeted them with a smile.

"Yo, Xiao Shen, yesterday you said you were going to surprise us, I thought it was. I didn't expect you guys to come. Come on, bring something. Xiao Huang, you're here too. Quick, get inside and talk. ”

For fear that Shen Yun would freeze these descendants, before he entered the door, he shouted inside: "Old man, the army has come up." Quick, pour a cup of tea for the lads first. Five people. ”

The old man inside answered, and began to get busy, and when Shen Yun and the others came in, five misty teacups were already placed on the table. Seeing a few juniors saying hello to him, the old man came over with a smile: "Okay, okay, hurry up and come over for tea." I'm very good with your aunt, but you don't need to come to see us. ”

Sitting on the sofa with Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang, a few people chatted.

Aunt Wang was obviously very satisfied with yesterday's experience of supporting the army, and she couldn't stop saying that she was not as old as she was back then, which made the three soldiers around Shen Yun embarrassed for a while. Their usual results are around forty-five rings, and speaking of which, they are really not as good as this old man.

said a few words about yesterday's events, and at Shen Yun's request, he talked about his experience on the battlefield back then.

"At that time, anyway, everyone was bent on joining the army and serving the country. Unlike now, when it is difficult to recruit soldiers, when I joined the army, our family was very happy. The whole village beat gongs and drums to send me out of the village, and the village chief hung a big red flower around my neck. Oh, when I think about it now, I think it was so beautiful back then. ”

"When we were fighting, we didn't have the training as good as you do now, and we all relied on the help of veterans. I remember when I was a hygienist, I once went to the front line and saw an old squad leader who pressed a recruit under him when the bomb hit. By the time the artillery fire stopped, the people were already out of breath. ”

"Also, at that time, supplies were scarce, and sometimes the enemy could sabotage our transportation lines. Several times, several people secretly ate grass roots and the like in order to excuse themselves. Alas, you think, at that time, I didn't know what we could eat and what we couldn't eat, and as a result, there were a few of us who watched the sacrifice but couldn't do anything about it. ”

The old man's language is very simple, and he doesn't have the skills of those writers who play with words. But after all, it is a personal experience, and the truth is the biggest shock. The aunt may be deliberately modest, just picking on things that she doesn't show too much to tell. The more this is the case, the more Shen Yun can feel the simplicity of the aunt.

Listening to the aunt's narration, for Shen Yun and a few people, it is undoubtedly a kind of soul baptism.

When leaving, the aunt forcibly stuffed Shen Yunyilan's home-grown vegetables, and then watched the car go away.

However, the condolence process was not as smooth as Aunt Wang's family. The third house that Shen Yun was going to visit was called the most difficult one to contact by the driver Brother Huang.

It is said to be a family, but in fact there are only two people in the family. One is the uncle who is almost eighty years old, and the other is the great-grandson of the uncle who is sixteen years old and is in high school this year.

When Brother Huang talked about the old man's experience, Shen Yun's heart was full of shock. This is a person who truly dedicates everything he has to his homeland. The old man participated in the war of liberation when he was young, and after the founding of the country, he supported neighboring countries and survived. Later, when he retired, he let his only son join the army.

The daughter-in-law is also in the army. When he had a grandson, the country was once again at war. The son and daughter-in-law went to the battlefield and did not come back, and the old couple brought up their grandson. Then, the grandson also went to serve as a soldier.

This time they remembered the lesson, and the old couple did not let their grandson marry the daughter-in-law of the army. And to the relief of the old couple, the grandson is also quite successful in the army, and it is said that he is still a special soldier. Although the old man is very related, he also understands that he should not ask. Being able to hear his grandson's voice on the phone made the old man feel very satisfied.

Within a few years, the great-grandson was born, but the wife passed away. But there's more to it than that. When the great-grandson was ten years old, someone from the army came, holding an urn.

The old man took the urn with trembling hands and agreed to his granddaughter-in-law's request to remarry. Began to raise this great-grandson alone. It's been six years, and it's not that the troops don't want to help this old man in the past six years, but every time he sends money and noodles, he will be driven out of the door by the old man with a cane. He just picked up waste with one hand and raised this great-grandson so big.

Today is just in time for the old man's great-grandson to come home from vacation, as long as he goes, he will definitely be able to see people. But whether the old man will accept it with some kindness is another story.

Sure enough, Shen Yun was shut down.

When a handsome boy ran into the house, Shen Yun and the others who had just gotten out of the car were expelled like never before: "Get out, get back to the army for training." I haven't been in the coffin yet, old man, so I don't need you to come to see me twice for three days. ”

Although he had been mentally prepared before, Shen Yun didn't expect that the refusal would come so quickly.

Brother Huang looked at Shen Yun with a wry smile and said in a low voice, "I've seen it." I've been here for a few years, and this old man white, the older he gets, the harder his temper becomes. Actually, don't talk about you, your battalion commanders have all eaten behind closed doors. ”

Shen Yun was dumbfounded: "Then what should I do?" Pointing to the condolence materials behind him, Shen Yun asked helplessly.

"What else can I do, pull it back. Believe it or not, even if Old Man Bai breaks them, he won't move them. Usually the things you sent, he gave them to the people in the neighborhood who were living a tight life. The four of them helplessly took their things into the car, and when they were about to leave, Shen Yun suddenly heard some movement.

"Xiaojun, I've said it a few times, these military TV series are all lies. Look at this one by one, where is it so easy to shoot guns. Instead of looking at this nonsense, you should look at the notes your dad left for you. ”

"Now TV dramas, what are they all playing? The Oriental Japanese are so easy to fight, and I have so many comrades-in-arms, how can there be no one left to die. ”

The old man's words gave Shen Yun a wake-up call.
