48. Buy Opportunities
The door of the commissary was open as usual, and at the entrance of the commissary, Sun Jiashu hesitated a little and walked in, only the proprietress was alone, and the beautiful proprietress was still very enthusiastic.
"Little brother, what do you want?" Apparently, she didn't seem to recognize him as the recruit who had blinded her with counterfeit money.
"Sister-in-law, do you have a chance to sell?" Sun Jiashu handed over a five-yuan bill as he spoke.
The proprietress giggled: "Little brother, you are so funny, what is the chance?" No kidding, I'm still busy, let's talk about what? ”
"Sister-in-law, I'm not joking, do you remember that a recruit spent a counterfeit note here a few days ago, I'm the recruit, I wonder if you can give him a chance?"
"Well, I thought what was the matter? It's that day, okay, as long as you realize your mistake, I'll give you this opportunity now, and the money doesn't have to be paid, you're a recruit, the allowance is too small, your brother, oh, it's my shopkeeper, and he won't let me take your money, he, when he tore up the money, he said that he couldn't let it hurt people anymore, he said that you are recruits, easy to be deceived, and the allowance is low, he specially explained to me, and I have to pretend not to know when I encounter this kind of thing in the future. The proprietress said with a smile.
"How so? You already knew it was a fake piece of money. Sun Jiashu patted his head and said, before this, he thought he was smart.
"If you touch money every day, you can't see real money and fake money? I like to be a soldier. He used to be a soldier, and he was in this regiment. He was a soldier of the same year as your regiment commander, and he was also awarded the honorary title of "Battle Hero" in the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam, and the chairman of the Military Commission even met him! ”
"Really? So how did he start a small shop? Sun Jiashu was skeptical, there are only a handful of people who have won the honorary title of "Battle Hero" in the country, they are all big heroes, how can they open a small shop here?
"Alas, it's just that he is too lucky." The proprietress sighed, she glanced into the room and said, "Your brother is not here, I said that you should not tell outsiders, he is most disgusted with me talking about this to outsiders." ”
Sun Jiashu nodded.
"It was in '87, the self-defense war against Vietnam was coming to an end, your brother led a combat team to carry out a combat mission, a soldier strayed into a minefield, in order to save my comrade-in-arms, he did not hesitate to line up a mine in front, his comrade-in-arms was rescued, but he stepped on a mine without paying attention, and a leg was blown off, at that time he volunteered to carry out a combat mission, if he didn't go, if he didn't care about his comrades, his life would definitely be different. Prior to this, the division had decided that he would take over the position of regiment commander, and the original regiment commander would be promoted to deputy division commander. No one could have imagined that such a thing would happen suddenly, and now, he only had to change jobs, and when he changed jobs the year before last, the organization arranged for him to go to a county civil affairs bureau as a deputy director, and he was unwilling to go. He said that he was reluctant to leave the barracks, and that he felt very comfortable watching the young soldiers go in and out every day, and that he was willing to stay in the barracks for the rest of his life, so he opened this shop, saying that in this way he could stay in the barracks every day and watch the soldiers every day. I know that he really can't leave the barracks, his barracks dream has not woken up yet, if he wasn't crippled, I'm afraid he would be your regiment commander now, when he was the deputy chief of staff, your regiment commander was still the commander of the first battalion at that time. Alas, how did I talk about it, he told him, you must not mention it to anyone, if he knew that I said it, he would break my leg. ”
Sun Jiashu's head was confused, he didn't know how he got out of that small shop, the biggest regret in life was that he wanted to buy the opportunity, but he didn't have the opportunity; The most incredible thing in life is that the opportunity is bought, but the money is not spent.
