Chapter 3: The Veteran's Homecoming (3) Wisdom is foolishness
A puppet Manchurian period of the 'colonel Gao Shen', to the Liberation War period, not only did not receive any punishment by the national government, but was accepted as a colonel of the national army, this change in the middle of the forties of the last century, can also be regarded as a legend, Guo's mother and brother are knowledgeable, in the national army is well-known, just a few days before our army's 'four fields' liberated the whole territory of the northeast, Guo's mother and brother was pulled out of the northeast by plane in a daze, and since then embarked on the journey to the platform.
In the battle sequence of the Taiwan National Army, there are many officers like Guo's mother's brother, and as the two places no longer fight against each other, the Taiwan army has also been reorganized, and before retiring from active service, Guo's mother's brother was awarded the title of 'Taiwan's National Defense-Ministry of Defense', and his 'general' was given at the end.
When the head of the security department of the 'Northern Xinjiang Military Region' revealed the details of Guo Kaishan's uncle, Guo Kaishan only replied a few words, "I don't know much about my uncle's affairs, he is currently a successful businessman in the platform, and I only know this." ’
In the mid-nineties of the last century, the overall transformation of the urban area of City A did not begin in an all-round way, and many old places before the founding of the People's Republic of China are still there.
It may be because of his age, every time Guo's mother and brother go to a place, he will always take out his laptop from his bag and record the walking situation one by one, which is very helpful for the memoirs he wrote, and now he can't do without this anymore.
"I see that sooner or later you will not remember me!" Guo's mother and sister-in-law have a very good feeling for her husband asking herself about English words from time to time, her husband has a doctorate degree from Tai Tian University, and his level of English and Japanese is quite high. ”
"What kind of thing is this, you can still type foreign codes!" The citizens of City A usually like to see the excitement, and they were very curious when they saw an old man in a suit. In particular, he also took out something he didn't recognize, which made the onlookers look fresh.
"This is a laptop, it's used to enter text," Guo's mother and brother introduced everyone very friendly, and when he saw that there were more and more onlookers, he put the laptop back in his bag and led his wife away.
"Marshal Zhang's Mansion" can be described as a landmark building in City A, where two generations of 'Northeast rulers' have lived. When he was young, Guo's mother and brother liked it very much, and he introduced it to his wife as he walked, and walked all the way to the pistol and gun exhibition collected by Young Marshal Zhang. ’
"Ladies and gentlemen, strong men love swords, famous guns give heroes, especially the Zhang father and son, their obsession with pistols can be seen. This is a German-made Browning, which itself was customized by Zhang Dashuai abroad, but he did not equal the delivery of guns, so he returned to the west. After Zhang Dashuai's death, this Browning also became Zhang Shaoshuai's pistol, and the grip of this gun was made of pure gold, which shows how good the gun-making process was at that time! "The docent of the Marshal's Mansion walked all the way. We will introduce you all the way.
'Miss Narrator, can I interrupt you a few words,' Brother Guo's mother disposition. Like his knowledge, there is no room for the storage of sand.
'Speak, old man! The female docent looked Guo's mother and brother up and down, and when she saw that he was dressed, she was not a local, but a returned overseas Chinese.
'Miss Docent, you have made two mistakes just now, the first is that Browning is made in Belgium, and the second is that the grip of this gun is only made of gold, not pure gold! Brother Guo's mother said something amazing, which made the tourists present stunned.
'Sir, may I ask you what you do?' The narrator spoke according to the scripts of the speeches that had been passed down for many years, and although she did not know whether it was right or wrong, she felt that she must have memorized it correctly.
'You don't care what I do, this gun, I once touched it with my own hands, if it was made of pure gold, a normal man would not be able to control it anyway, so it can only be inlaid with gold!' ’
Just when all the tourists were discussing for this old man who ran out of nowhere, the person in charge of the Dashuaifu Museum came over, and after he inquired about the identity of Guo's mother and brother Taiwan compatriots, he sincerely apologized to everyone and said, "I can guarantee that what this old gentleman said is accurate, because the previous explanation of our museum has been lost during the turmoil, and our current book is dictated by the old docent, so it can't be 100% correct, now it's okay, This old gentleman from Taiwan has already corrected our work, and we will make changes immediately, this is not only a matter of a mere speech, this is a matter of the rigor of history, old gentleman, on behalf of our Dashuaifu Museum, thank you! As he spoke, he held Guo's mother's brother's hand tightly.
Leaving the "Marshal's Mansion", the next stop is naturally the "Forbidden City of A", after buying the tickets, Guo's mother and brother were a little tired, so he sat on a stone table to rest, Mrs. went to buy water nearby, and he opened his laptop again, he recorded on the computer what happened just now, especially the feelings of the Chinese people towards the compatriots in Taiwan, which moved him very much.
'Brother, if you have any cigarettes, give one to me!' A half-grown man in his fifties came to Guo's mother and brother to 'ask for cigarettes'.
Brother Guo's mother didn't care, he took out a box of '555' from his pocket and put it on the side of the stone table.
The half-grown old man pulled one out of the cigarette case, 'Is there a fire?' ’
Brother Guo's mother took out the lighter again.
The half-grown old man smoked a cigarette while watching Guo's mother and brother play on the computer, because there was only one audience, and the lady did not return from buying water, Guo's mother and brother didn't care, so he let him visit.
After a few minutes, the half-old man left, and Guo's mother and brother themselves lit a cigarette, smoking and thinking about the wording. ’
'Oh no, there's an old lady on the other side who has fallen, do you know anyone!' The half-grown old man came from nowhere, and he ran and shouted.
Out of worry, Brother Guo's mother asked, 'Sir, where is it?' ’
"Just over there, over there, an old lady fell down for no reason, surrounded by many people, maybe let the car hit it, blood all over the place!" The half-grown old man gestured as he spoke, and the people around him who had just finished buying tickets gathered around.
Mrs. bought water for a long time, and when Guo's mother and brother heard that someone had been hit by a car, he also walked over, he grabbed the half-old man and said, "Where is the person?" ”
'Over there!' ’
Looking at the direction pointed by the half-old man, Brother Guo's mother thought that it was not Mrs., because Mrs. was going in another direction, so he sat back in front of the stone table and wrote a diary.
'What's the old lady like?' Someone asked curiously.
'Dressed in a foreign style, he looks like a returned overseas Chinese, and he still has perfume on his body! ’
As soon as Brother Guo's mother heard what the half-old man said, he immediately couldn't sit still, and he ran in the direction that the half-old man pointed.
After running for hundreds of meters in a row, he never saw the woman who fell down as the half-old man said, Guo's mother and brother were very puzzled, and when he stood in place and thought, Mrs. ran over in the distance, and she looked very flustered.
As soon as he saw his wife standing in front of him intact, Brother Guo's mother and brother let go of their hanging heart, and he said to his wife with a smile, "Someone just said that you let the car hit, but fortunately you are fine." ’
Madame anxiously asked, 'Who said that, what about your laptop?' ’
I was in a hurry, and I put it on the stone table, where there were a lot of people. ’
'No, I just came back from that side, and someone told me, 'You ran this way.' ’
'What? Brother Guo's mother quickly ran back to the stone table, which was empty, and the laptop and bag were gone, not only some money, but also passports for both of them.
When the police asked about the situation, they immediately decided, "Old man, I think you must have met a liar, that half-old man is a liar, he specializes in deceiving returned overseas Chinese like you, may I ask you in City A, what other relatives do you have, do you need me to help you contact them, let them come to pick you up?" ’
'Yes, yes, I have a few nephews in City A, and they are also chiefs! Brother Guo's mother was already angry at this time, his heart was beating, he was a successful businessman, he didn't care about the lost money, he didn't care about the expensive laptop, what he cared about was the text in the computer, it was his memoirs accumulated over the years, because there was no backup in advance, if he couldn't find it, his hard work for so many years would be in vain.
"Sir? Are you talking about your nephew being a soldier or a police officer? "The police officers who went to the police are still very respectful to Taiwan compatriots like Guo's mother and brother.
It's the same as your clothes, except for the stars on your shoulders! Guo's mother and sister-in-law didn't want her husband to answer the police's questions anymore, so she helped him to the side and sat down, and the staff at the ticket office of the 'City A Forbidden City' also brought boiling water for the old man to drink.
Fortunately, Guo's mother-in-law's small book recorded Guo Kaiying's contact information, and it didn't take long for Guo Kaiying to drive to the ticket office of the 'A City Forbidden City'.
"It turned out to be Team Guo!" The police officers know Guo Kaiying.
'Oh yes, the old gentleman is my uncle, is something wrong?' Guo Kaiying had been flying by car, and he didn't listen too carefully on the phone.
The old gentleman's laptop was stolen, and the liar was a half-old man in his fifties. ’
'Have you filed a case?' ’
As soon as it was established, the old gentleman said that the text on the laptop was very important, and he was afraid that the scammer would destroy the text in the computer. ’
"Okay, let's go, I'll take care of the rest," Guo Kaiying comforted his uncle a few words, and then took the old couple back to Guo Kaiwei's house. (To be continued......)
