After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, except for Duan You and Father Meng, who were still drinking at the dinner table, everyone else got off the dinner table and watched TV on the sofa. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This meal really made everyone eat beautifully, Auntie, Lan Lan, and Zhao Xiaolin, even after the dinner table, they kept talking about Meng Chuan's cooking skills.

After chatting for a while, Meng Mu suddenly said: "Xiaochuan, didn't you just say that you want to go out for a walk with Xiao Zhao, and what did you say about walking a hundred steps after dinner, living to ninety-nine, how healthy it is to go out for a walk." ”

Meng Chuan was stunned for a moment, when did I say that I wanted to accompany Zhao Xiaolin out for a walk, but Meng Chuan is not a fool, and then after thinking about it, he knew that his mother was creating some private space for the two.

Meng Chuan really doesn't mean anything else to Zhao Xiaolin, besides, Zhao Xiaolin's family background is here, and it's not something that Meng Chuan can climb, this is not Meng Chuan's inferiority, but the fact is here, if you have to get involved with the four generations of people, it is impossible to do it.

However, Meng Chuan still agreed, after all, he couldn't let his mother not get off the stage, "Yes, Comrade Zhao Xiaolin, then let's go out for a walk." ”

When Meng Mu heard Meng Chuan's tone of voice being so formal, she patted Meng Chuan's arm, "This is not in your army, so don't call it comrade." ”

Zhao Xiaolin was quite curious about the environment where Meng Chuan lived, so she stood up and nodded, "Okay." ”

The most famous place in Creek Town is the cherry blossom forest, but it's summer, and the scenery of the cherry blossom forest is much worse, but if you want to talk about the scenery, it is the best.

"Zhao Xiaolin, let me take you to see the cherry blossom trees we have here."

Zhao Xiaolin looked down-and-out and generous, "Okay, I'll follow you." ”

The cherry blossom forest said that it was not far away, and it was not close to it, if you want to say that you can walk only by your feet, you can't walk for an hour, so Meng Chuan opened the car door, "Let's go, let's drive." ”

The cherry blossom forest in Xizhen is a scenic spot, even if it is not spring, the scenery is quite good, the two came to the cherry blossom forest, Zhao Xiaolin was immediately attracted by the scenery in front of him, "Meng Chuan, I didn't expect your hometown to be so beautiful." ”

Meng Chuan may be used to seeing it, except for the cherry blossoms in spring, when he thinks it is beautiful, he doesn't think there is anything particularly eye-catching here.

However, Zhao Xiaolin was attracted by the scene of the small bridge and flowing water, and ran to the creek in a hurry, took off her shoes and stepped into it.

The reason why Kei Town is called Kei Town is because there are many small streams, and this cherry blossom forest itself is also near the small stream, so naturally, small streams can be seen everywhere.

Meng Chuan sat down on the bench next to him and watched Zhao Xiaolin play in the stream.

At this time, an old man scavenging came over tremblingly, came to the trash can next to the bench and began to rummage.

After rummaging through it, he walked up to Meng Chuan's side, "Comrade Captain, is the empty water bottle under your feet okay?" ”

Meng Chuan hurriedly looked down and found an empty mineral water bottle lying under his feet, which was probably placed here by someone else, Meng Chuan picked it up and handed it to the old man, "You can see my military rank." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, then took the empty water bottle and smiled, "Why can't you see it, it turns out that our company commander is the captain." ”

As soon as these words came out, Meng Chuan was a little stunned, he didn't expect that this old man was still a veteran, so he quickly wiped the chair, "Grandpa, are you thirsty, or you sit here, I'll buy you a bottle of water to drink." ”

The old man waved his hand, "No, no, I have water with me, and while I was talking, I took out a mineral water bottle from the small bag behind me, and this mineral water bottle was shrunk to a piece, and it looked like it was filled with boiling water all year round, and it was scalded like this." ”

"Grandpa, are you sitting, let's talk, you see, I have a hundred yuan here, you talk to me about it, this money is yours."

The old man couldn't believe that there was such a good thing, he was a garbage picker, others usually looked at him with strange eyes, and even saying a word to himself was a charity, and now there were officers in the army who spent money to talk to him.

The 100 yuan was enough to pick up the garbage for several days, so the old man sat down, "Comrade Chief, what do you say, let's start chatting?" ”

The reason why Meng Chuan wanted to chat with this veteran was that he especially wanted to hear about being a soldier in that era, because the cameras in that period were not popular, so there were few video materials in the army about that time, but Meng Chuan knew that the fighting quality of the soldiers at that time was the highest, because in the fifties and sixties, China's air and navy armies only had a framework, and their combat effectiveness was so low that they couldn't do it.

And at that time, there were no nuclear weapons, and nuclear weapons only existed in the mid-sixties, so at that time, the soldiers of the army were all of the highest quality, and they were almost the kind that could be brought to the battlefield to fight.

Meng Chuan asked with a smile: "Grandpa, you said that you also served as a soldier, so when did you become a soldier?" ”

Speaking of decades ago, the old man thought for a while, "I joined the army in 1948, and at that time I also caught up with the Liberation War and participated in the three major battles. ”

As soon as the old man's words came out, Meng Chuan was really stunned, he didn't expect that this old man actually participated in the Liberation War, Meng Chuan quickly estimated the age of the old man, if he joined the army at the age of 16, then he should be over eighty years old now, and he is really an old qualification.

The old man recalled the original war years, "At that time, the country fought for decades, and the country was about to be destroyed, but the situation of our army was very good. ”

"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was no war to fight, so we wondered if the army would drive us away and let us continue to go back to the village. At that time, I thought that it was okay to go back to the village, but you can give me a little land, and at that time, our instructor patted his chest and said, I will definitely be able to divide it, why are we fighting, isn't it just to let us have land to plant. ”

"So at that time, we kept thinking about going home to farm, but we hadn't left yet, the US-North Korea War (Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea) started to fight again, and then we went to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, but our unit didn't fight long before it was withdrawn, you look at my legs, and now there is a gun hole."

The old man took away the earthy gray polyester pants and revealed a gun hole on his leg, Meng Chuan was very familiar with the gun hole, so he could see at a glance that this was definitely a real gun hole, Meng Chuan was suddenly in awe, immediately stood up, and saluted the old man.
