Chapter 286: Medals and Affection
At the Central Hospital, Barrett met Spruit's father, Bohm Sr. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Similar to the average man in his fifties and sixties, he is very strong and strong in farming, but his face is very bad.
The black circles under his eyes and pale lips could tell that he was not in a very good state of mind.
The top of his head was slightly bald, and his right hand was hidden in the futon.
Seeing Spruitt come in with a soldier, Old Bohm struggled to sit up, and Barrett quickly pressed him back to the bed.
"Don't get up, it's better to take a break." Barrett was reassured.
"My name is Barrett, and I am your son's comrade-in-arms. This time I came to Myers specifically to visit him. Patting Spruitt on the shoulder, Barrett introduced himself.
"Thank you so much, but unfortunately it's not the right time, our family is in trouble now." Old Bohm looked a little sluggish.
Reaching over a chair, Barrett sat down in front of the bed.
"Can you tell me more about what happened? Why aren't the helpers working for you? "Barrett needs to figure out the cause and effect.
Old Bohm's lips moved a few times, but he didn't make a sound, and he struggled and hesitated for a while before he said in a trembling voice: "I am the fault of all this!" ”
The old man's emotions were a little excited, and he said with a crying voice: "It's all my ghost who is confused, and brags to others after drinking, saying that my son is a hero on the battlefield......"
After speaking, he looked up at Carly, Carly's face was a little pale, and she whispered: "Don't blame you, it's all my uncle, he took Lang Enschneider's money and went to the mayor's office to make a small report." ”
Hesitating, Carly sighed, "But he's my uncle, I, I can't tell the truth!" ”
The old man looked at Carly like this, stunned for a moment, and lowered his head: "Child, you are not wrong. If it were me, Spruitt would have chosen to remain silent as well, after all, you still have to get along......"
Barrett frowned a little, and he asked, "And then?" Just because he quit the battlefield early, he is not a hero?? Barrett had never heard of it.
Even if there is no medal, his combat exploits are real, why did he return to Myers without his military exploits?
Lowering his head and shaking his head, old Bohm regretted: "They all say so, they all say that my son is a coward who escaped from the battlefield, but I know that although he is stupid, he is a good boy, and they all blame me for talking ......"
Barrett understood, he stood up and pointed at Spruit's color and said, "You don't need to worry, I will prove that your son is by no means a coward, he is a hero on the battlefield." ”
After saying that, Barrett took out the medal and solemnly placed it on the old Bohm's quilt.
"This is his medal, which represents the proof of heroism."
Looking at this glittering medal, everyone in the room was stunned.
Old Bohm stopped crying at once, and he looked at the medal with teary eyes, and did not say anything for a long time.
Carly had a look of surprise on her face, and she exclaimed, "Really? That's great! Uncle, as long as it can be proved that Jimmy did not escape from the battlefield, then the town government will definitely take back the public opinion! ”
Spruitt's pale face glowed red, but it quickly dimmed again.
"Don't lie to me, it's a medal for Xiao Sai, right?" Spruitt lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.
"He said that this is your honor, on behalf of the people of Lamour that you saved from the rebels, on behalf of the blood you paid there! Represent your pain! Barrett crouched down on the side of his wheelchair and pressed his hand on his knee.
"If you give up on your own, then who can help you?" Barrett said, looking at his lowered face.
Barrett reached out and pulled out a bullet, looked at Spruitt and asked, "As long as you still have his things, you should treat his honor as yours, be happy for him, and be proud of him!" ”
Spruitt looked at the bullet in his palm stupidly, and unbuttoned his chest with a trembling hand.
He pulled out his dog tag, and a bullet glittered on it!
Gently stroking the bullet, he looked at Barrett and asked, "I...... Do you have the qualifications? ”
Barrett nodded, he glanced back at the medal and replied, "This is his last wish, and it is the common wish of those of us. ”
Spruitt, who accepted the medal, hugged it tightly to his chest, as if he would lose it.
Telling Old Bohm to recuperate in peace, Barrett went to the front desk to pay the medical bills.
Carly pushed Spruitt to wait for him at the door, her face tinged with joy and apprehension.
"Let's go! Let's go home first, Mira is still waiting for you. ”
"Is Mira here too?" Spruitt asked in surprise.
"Of course, she'll have to give you a full physical exam." Barrett took the wheelchair and lifted him into the trunk of the pickup.
As the pickup truck raced, the three returned to the empty farm.
Before he could enter the house, Barrett smelled the scent of potatoes.
Sure enough, Nini has already started cooking! It was nice to be able to eat straight to the ready-made dinner.
As soon as he entered, Spruitt saw Mira, dressed in a white military uniform, coming out of the kitchen with a plate full of food.
"You're both lieutenant colonels?" If Spruitt remembers correctly, half a year ago, she was a lieutenant.
Poof, Mira laughed: "Only this pervert can be promoted like fireworks." I'm a captain now, and this uniform is borrowed from my predecessors. ”
Barrett shook his head and sighed: "You all think it's good to be promoted, but I'm actually worried about this matter." ”
Seeing the puzzled eyes of several people, Barrett explained: "This major general is not a good thing!" The paperwork for me to take office has been delivered, and within a month I will be reporting on the battleship. ”
"Now Farnet has a lot of things waiting for me to do, and it's clear that someone is messing with me in the back." Spreading his hands in a helpless gesture, Barrett sneered.
Nini came out of the kitchen, wiping her hands and frowning.
"Wow, who's so bad? I'll just say that you are not good at this official promotion, how good we are in Fanette, the scenery is good. ”
Spruitt was startled by the sudden sight of Her Royal Highness, and he hurriedly asked Carly to take over the work of Her Royal Highness.
Who knew that the villain refused to let her help: "The vegetables here are very fresh, and I can take the opportunity to steal some when I cook, so you should take care of him." ”
After saying that, Nini went into the kitchen again.
A few people sat around the table, and Barrett explained the ins and outs of the matter.
"I'll go to the mayor's office tomorrow, and this matter must be resolved." Barrett glanced at the time, the time was delayed in the hospital today, and the town government was no longer open at this time.
Mira thought more, and the woman's heart was more careful, and she asked with some concern: "Although the medal is a gift from Seminen's will, if the military has not filed it......"
Barrett also sensed the loophole, and if he wanted to be foolproof, it would be better to look like Mira's medal, which was revised from the military department's database.
"Are these guys qualified to access the military department's database?" Barrett, of course, knew that this couldn't be done here, so he wanted to fool the past.
Several people looked at each other, and Barrett took the idea: "Whatever, go first tomorrow!" I really can't think of a way. ”
