Early the next morning, the dazed Duan Huan was dug out of the quilt by Grandpa Xu, washed and cleaned up, put Duan Huan on the ox cart, whipped it on the wheel, and set off to the county hospital.

Huanhuan gradually woke up in the cool air in the morning, and Grandpa Xu handed over a white raw and peeled egg: "Eat an egg cushion first, and when you get to the county seat, Zuzu will take you to eat it!" ”

Duan Huan didn't like to eat boiled eggs very much, he felt very choked, took two bites, and stuffed the remaining eggs into Grandpa Xu's mouth: "Zuzu also eats half of it, I want to keep my stomach to eat it!" ”

took the green military kettle in the car and prepared to unscrew it, but he overestimated his strength, and he couldn't unscrew it, so he had to let Grandpa Xu do it for him.

After drinking hot water, this can be regarded as officially sobering up.

The mechanized path is built around the mountain, and the road is paved with small stones, and the ox cart is not fast but not bumpy. Looking at the mountain peaks shrouded in the morning mist in the distance, I sighed in my heart that the current ecology is really good, and the life is completely green.

"Zuzu, we have a lot of mountains here, it looks really good!"

"It used to be better-looking, in the past few years, the whole people made steel and cut down a lot of trees. In the past two years, people have almost stripped the remaining bark on the shallow mountain," Grandpa Xu sighed: "Our county has found coal mines on those small hills in Yanqi Mountain, and coal mining has dug the mountains out of shape!" ”

"Zuzu, why isn't there coal mining in our village?" Wan Huan asked

"We haven't found a coal mine in that mountain," Grandpa Xu replied to Duan Huan seriously: "If there were coal mines, our village would not have had such a difficult time in the past 3 or 4 years!" ”

"Can coal be exchanged for food?" In fact, I know that coal mines pay wages, but in fact, coal miners are not easy in the three-year period, and the strong amount of labor requires a lot of rations, but at this time, most of the distribution is coarse grains instead of food, and fine grains only account for a small part, and generally a coal miner's wages have to feed a large family, and it is not easy.

Grandpa Xu sighed: "Coal miners pay salaries, they have commercial grain every month, and they are more secure than farming in the village!" ”

"Aren't there wild herbs and game in the mountains? Why don't you go to the mountains to look for it? "I saw smoked rabbit and chicken hanging in my kitchen, and Grandpa Xu said that he had beaten them in the mountains.

"Why didn't you go, the shallow mountains were touched cleanly, and there are big cats and wild boars in the deep mountains and old forests, who dares to go? Men are so thin that they only have a handful of bones left, not enough to deliver food to the beasts! Grandpa Xu sighed again: "A few years ago, the second child of your family's Zhongbo family was chased by a wild boar and fell off the cliff and broke his leg, and none of the strong guys who went with him were complete!" ”

"Then Zuzu, don't go, I won't eat meat in the future, it's too dangerous to go to the mountains!" Huan shook Grandpa Xu's arm again, she didn't want Grandpa Xu to take risks, she wanted to eat meat, didn't she still have so many poultry and livestock in her space, even if she could afford to eat meat at once.

Grandpa Xu patted Duan Huan's little hand and whispered to Duan Huan: "Don't be afraid of the little fish, Zuzu will hunt some pheasants and rabbits in the outer mountains, and it will be fine!" ”

"But I'm still afraid that Zuzu is in danger, what if the wild boar and big cat come!" Huanhuan is still worried.

Grandpa Xu pinched Duan Huan's nose with a smile: "Xiao Yu'er is not afraid, Zuzu has kung fu, he has fought so many battles, what is the beast, even if he really comes, Zuzu can make it into meat dishes for Xiao Yu'er!" ”

"Zuzu has also fought, is it a devil?" I especially admire the veterans, and it is precisely because of their blood that they have ushered in today's peaceful and stable life.

Grandpa Xu looked at Duan Huan blinking his two big eyes, his expression was radiant, and he was very eager to talk: "That's not it, let's beat the island devil back to his hometown." Zuzu didn't learn anything in his life, he learned to fight! ”

"Zuzu is amazing, this is it!" Duan Huan gave a thumbs up with both hands, and couldn't wait to give ten or eight likes to Grandpa Xu.

Grandpa Xu looked at Duan Huan with red eyes and looked at him, his admiration was overflowing, and he snorted again.

Duan Huan felt that according to Grandpa Xu's love for him, he would be touched into a bald man one day.

"Then why aren't you a soldier now?" Huanhuan is curious about the reason why Grandpa Xu is content with the farmer.

"Zuzu is old, he can't fight" Grandpa Xu waved his whip again: "Later, your parents left, and Zuzu couldn't leave our little fish, so he came back to take Xiaoyuer to live!"

"So my mom and dad are gone? Have you forgotten your way home after going to a long place? "As the original owner, a 3-year-old doll, there should be no clear concept of death.

Grandpa Xu was stunned for a moment, thinking about how to organize the language: "It's not that your parents can't find their way home, both of them have sacrificed!" I can't go home when I go to heaven! ”

Grandpa Xu's action of lowering his head and wiping his face was seen by Duan Huan, and he couldn't help but regret it a little, in fact, he shouldn't have mentioned Grandpa Xu's sadness.

"Your father is also a soldier, he became a soldier at the age of 16, after returning from the victory to resist US aggression and aid Korea, he was assigned to the provincial military district, and died heroically in a battle with enemy agents!

Your mother couldn't stand the blow, and you just gave up as soon as you were born! Your mother turned out to be a military doctor, and the field hospital was known for being "a knife". The shooting water quality is very high, better than your father! I have done surgery and can go to the battlefield, and I have to pass the first-class work! Originally, he was also a strong person, why did he follow your father, it's a pity! Grandpa Xu said slowly.

It is a bit cruel to tell the truth about the death of both parents to the child so bluntly, but Grandpa Xu doesn't want to be happy in the future because he doesn't have the identity of his father and mother as an orphan, and he can't refute it when he is bullied because of his orphan status.

"My mom and dad are so powerful! They are all heroes! I'm so proud of them! Wan Huan hugged Grandpa Xu's arm and said seriously: "Ancestor, don't be sad, don't you still have a little fish, a little fish will accompany you!" ”

Grandpa Xu touched his head and was silent for a long time.

I feel fortunate and proud to be able to wear it to the Xu family, this family can be called a loyal martyr. The Xu couple worked hard for the revolutionary cause and died. In order to raise his great-granddaughter, Grandpa Xu resolutely retired from the job he had loved all his life and relied on his great-granddaughter for his life. But when Grandpa Xu mentioned his grandchildren and daughters-in-law, he was still full of pride and pride, without a trace of resentment and resentment, which can also be seen Grandpa Xu's mind.

You must know that there are fewer and fewer such pure old revolutions in the future, and now there are more revolutionaries who have dedicated their lives to peaceful liberation, but have not enjoyed the fruits of peace for a single day.

And how many of the people who will enjoy peace in the future generations will remember the revolutionary martyrs who shed their blood for our peace?

Soldiers deserve to be our loveliest people, the peaceful and prosperous world we can enjoy is what they have in exchange for blood and sweat, how can we not cherish the good days we have today?
