Postscript:

At this point in the story, it was eight o'clock in the evening. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info I said to him, let you talk for a long time, you are hungry, let's go, let's go out for dinner. He said, in. So, I drove him to Maojiaxiang Restaurant. This is one of our more famous restaurants in Changsha, which burns authentic local dishes from Chairman Mao's hometown of Shaoshan.

As soon as you enter the restaurant, there is a bust of Chairman Mao that is more than one meter high. Next to it are Chairman Mao's quotations and Chairman Mao's anthology. Yuan Guoxiao walked to the statue of Chairman Mao, bowed very respectfully and affectionately, and then said to me, Chairman Mao and his old man led us to endure hardships and stand hard work, and be angry with the revolution, how can we live such a good life now? I said, the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade.

After eight o'clock, there were not many people in the hall. We asked for a small private room, sat down, and the waiter began to pour us tea and order. Then, I introduced him to Hunan cuisine. I said that the most important thing about Hunan cuisine is taste, the taste is heavy and sour, spicy, salty and fresh, which can best show the uprightness and fortitude of our Hunan people. Chuxiang culture gave birth to Chuxiang cuisine, and Chuxiang cuisine shows Chuxiang culture.

Yuan Guoxiao said, I have heard of Mao's Hunan cuisine for a long time, and it is also available in Zhengzhou and Wenzhou, but I have never been in. I said that many people are like this, they have not eaten it at first, but once they have eaten it, they will never forget it. Chuxiang cuisine is based on the theme of "the food is not expensive enough, but the palatable is enough to support people". These are the exact words of Zeng Guofan. In fact, Hunan cuisine is not only a home-cooked food in Hunan and Hubei, but also very popular in your north. I've been to Zhengzhou, Xi'an, Beijing and Northeast China, and there are a lot of Hunan restaurants.

Yuan Guoxiao said that there are also many in Wenzhou. However, I usually don't pay much attention to eating, and when I invite others to eat, I also look at which restaurant is bigger and where to get it. It's just that there are no famous Hunan restaurants in Wenzhou.

After the dish is served, there are Mao's braised pork, frying pot fish head king, secret snake with skin, secret turtle stewed soybeans, iron pot soft-shelled turtle and stone pot king oyster mushroom. I also asked for a bottle of 52-proof drunkard's wine. These are the classics of Mao's Hunan cuisine.

After touching the cup, I pointed to Mao's braised pork and said that Mao's braised pork was Chairman Mao's "secret recipe for replenishing the brain" when he was in charge of everything, and when he was ********, Chairman Mao said, "As long as I eat a meal of braised pork every three days, I will definitely be able to defeat ******." ”

He took a piece of braised pork and tasted it, saying, it's really fat but not greasy, and it's sweet in the fragrance. I also said, you can taste this frying pan fish head king again, which is processed and improved from Hunan cuisine chopped pepper fish head. This dish uses green chilies instead of red chilies, and the fish is made with big-headed fish and beer steamed in water. It is Chairman Mao's favorite fish dish.

Of course, the secret snake with skin is also very special, it is Zeng Guopan in a journey, the guards cooked a special dish for him, that is, the snake is the main ingredient, plus sharp red pepper, cinnamon and other ingredients, its taste is fresh and fragrant, Zeng Guofan tasted it, greatly appreciated, and later this dish has been passed down to this day.

In short, I will introduce each dish to him, and if food has no culture, its deliciousness and meaning will be much less. In that case, I wouldn't have had to bring him here for dinner. He praised each dish, saying that it was the best and most delicious dish he had ever tasted, and he also said, I am also very close to you Hunan people. You Hunan people love to eat chili peppers, and we in Zhecheng, Henan Province specialize in producing high-quality chili peppers, so we can cooperate well in the future. I said, of course that's good.

After a few glasses of wine, I called my son and asked him to stop the car immediately. When he heard that I was eating at a restaurant, he said that he was busy and doing his homework and didn't want to come, and I said I'll let you meet someone. He asked who it was. I said that you will know when you come here, and it will definitely be good for your life growth.

So, after a while, my son took a taxi.

As soon as my son came, I didn't introduce him first, but asked my son, did you bring your mobile phone? The son asked suspiciously, why can't you bring it? Today's children will not forget to bring their heads except for their heads, and the second is that they will not forget to bring their mobile phones.

I said, you check, the battle of the Sino-Sutie Lekti.

He asked, "Why are you looking for this?"

I said, if you want to check it, you can check it.

The son found out and said, the battle between China and the Soviet Union and Tielekti, why have I never heard of such a war between China and the Soviet Union.

I asked, read it, tell me about it.

The son said that the Chinese patrol allowed the Soviet army to attack, and 28 people died, and one person was captured by the Soviet army, named Yuan Guoxiao.

I pointed to Yuan Guoxiao and said to my son, this uncle of yours is the only survivor of that battle, Yuan Guoxiao, Uncle Yuan, is now specialized in the chili business.

My son looked at the peasant uncle in front of him in surprise and asked, are you the Yuan Guoxiao who was captured by the Soviet army for nine deaths?

Yuan Guoxiao smiled and said, Yes.

My son hurriedly held his hand with both hands and said reverently, You joined the army at the age of seventeen, but I am almost eighteen years old, and I am still in high school, so I am so bored.

Yuan Guoxiao said, how good are you now, you can go to high school and college, but how can we go to school at that time? As soon as I entered junior high school, I had a **********, and the school was closed to make a revolution, and I joined the army because I didn't go to school.

My son said, I just don't want to go to school, it's boring, I just want to join the army.

I said, don't think that joining the army is fun, you take a good look at your uncle's wounds.

Yuan Guoxiao pointed to the injuries on his face and body to show his son, and when his son looked at it, he said, "Uncle, you are so great!"

But Yuan Guoxiao smiled bitterly and said to his son, what is great, isn't it just an ordinary farmer.

When the son heard this, he said, "Are you a farmer?" That country owes you so much.

Yuan Guoxiao said disapprerovingly, his uncle is just a common man, what is there to owe, as long as he can live the life of a common person, he will be content.

At this time, my son's phone rang, and my son's girlfriend said that a female singer came to Tianxin Song Hall, who was from Shenzhen, singing pop songs, and was invited by a famous entrepreneur in the city for a lot of money.

But the son said, Xiaowei, don't go to the song hall, you come over quickly, I'll introduce a real hero. He's having dinner with my dad.

After a while, a young girl who was only sixteen or seventeen years old entered the private room. The son introduced his girlfriend to Yuan Guoxiao, this is Uncle Yuan, a hero of the Sino-Sutie Lekti battle. As he spoke, he pointed to the scars on Yuan Guoxiao's face and right chest for his girlfriend to see.

My girlfriend looked at it and asked, does it hurt?

Yuan Guoxiao shook his head and said, it doesn't hurt anymore.

The girlfriend asked again, are you scared when you fight?

Yuan Guoxiao said, what are you afraid of? Don't be afraid.

Listening to the girl ask such stupid and stupid questions, I felt very uncomfortable, so I said to my son, "Go out, I want to talk to your uncle about something."

The girl immediately took out a small notebook and pen and said, "Uncle, please sign my name." I think this book and pen were originally intended for singers to sign autographs, and now they have come in handy.

After my son took his girlfriend away, I accompanied Yuan Guoxiao to have a few more drinks and asked, now that you are rich and your life is better, don't you plan to visit Tielekti's hometown again?

He said affectionately, "I've been dreaming about it." I have already contacted some comrades-in-arms and agreed that the 13th of next month will be the death day of 8.13, and I will take my wife to Tacheng, Xinjiang, to Tielekti, and to the Nameless Heights. I've been married for many years, and my wife doesn't even know where this injury came from. I'm going to show her where I've fought in the past.

Before we knew it, we chatted until 10 o'clock, and we didn't have to leave the restaurant until the waiter in the dining room was about to clean and clean up the private room. When I walked down the aisle of the restaurant, I said to him, "Brother, you can send me 200 tons of small red peppers, and the price is one yuan."

As soon as he heard this, he immediately said, "No, let's count it at nine cents and five cents."

I can't argue that I will charge other people's chili peppers for nine dimes, but I must collect yours for one yuan, or I will feel uneasy in my heart.

He held my hand tightly and said, "Then I thank you so much."

I said, no, I thank you on behalf of the whole country. You have a share of the well-being and happiness of the country and the people.

Listening to my words, I saw tears shaking in his eyes.

He nodded, shoved a business card into my hand, and hurried away. I think he must not want me to see him crying.

I took the business card and looked at it, and it read: Yuan Guoxiao, general manager of Hope Agricultural Products Purchasing Company in Zhecheng County, Henan Province and Wenzhou Hope Agricultural Products Sales and Wholesale Company. On the back of the business card, there is a large piece of dense small print. I took a closer look, but it was the inscription of the "Monument to the Martyrs of Zhongyong Mountain":

On 13 August 1969, the officers and men of our Tielekti Frontier Station were ordered to carry out patrol tasks, and at about 9:40 a.m., they were suddenly ambushed by the Soviet troops. More than 300 enemy infantrymen, under the close cover of tanks, planes, and heavy firearms, brazenly attacked us. In the face of invaders three times my size, our patrol officers and soldiers vowed to live and die with the land and launch a desperate counterattack. Eight officers and men endured the severe pain of broken arms and legs, and stubbornly strafed the invading enemy; The six officers and men of the covering detachment resolutely rushed towards the enemy's main force in the southwest direction when our patrol detachment was suppressed by enemy fire. The battle lasted five and a half hours, and ended at 15:30 a.m. In this battle, our officers and men, especially the 19 officers and men of the patrol detachment and the three reporters accompanying the army, regarded death as if they were at home, and displayed the spirit of patriotism and revolutionary heroism. Among the 28 martyrs, 13 were just 18 years old or under the age of 18. On the occasion of the survey of the New Territories, showing the battlefield of the past, and raising the flag and military flag of our country, in order to comfort the soul of the loyal and inspire future generations from generation to generation, this monument is specially erected to show its memory.

I know that he did this to let more people know about the Battle of Tirekti, remember that history, and remember the martyrs who sacrificed.
