Chapter 23: Anti-Japanese War veteran Liu Gensheng

"Open for business!"

Wang Dalin and just now were like two people, seeing Liu Mei and Su Shuirou looking at him, he immediately laughed and said, Wang Daqiang was also happy.

Seeing this, Liu Mei was even more strange, and immediately pulled Ye Nan aside and asked in a low voice.

"Nannan, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour these two people?"

Looking at his little aunt's suspicious eyes, Ye Nan smiled.

"Little aunt, there is no hurdle in the world that cannot be passed, don't worry, the restaurant will definitely be fine this time."

After finishing speaking, Ye Nan walked out of the restaurant, he needed the help of the Lin family in this matter, Ye Nan believed that with the power of the Lin family, there should be no problem in dealing with the director of a police station.

As soon as he picked up the phone and was about to talk about it, his eyes were attracted by a person, this was an old beggar in tattered clothes and limping walking, who was rummaging through the trash can in front of him to eat, this person Ye Nan had seen, and Ye Nan also helped him pick up change two days ago.

Ye Nan immediately ran back, asked for some food from his brother-in-law, and then packed it and walked out.

"Old man, it's summer, the things in here are too unhygienic, eat these."

The old man in front of him shook his body when he heard this, then turned his head and looked at Ye Nan with a somewhat evasive gaze.

Seeing this scene, Ye Nan's heart was also a little sour.

"Old man, we met two days ago, have you forgotten? My uncle's family runs a restaurant, and this meal is leftovers, and there is no money. After Ye Nan finished speaking, he handed over the things again and looked at the other party with a sincere face.

"Thank you."

The old man still took a mouthful of Sichuan slices, stretched out his trembling hand, took Ye Nan's food, and sat directly on the ground to eat.

"I'll pour you a glass of water."

After Ye Nan finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the hotel.

"Nannan, do you know that beggar?" Liu Mei saw this scene very clearly and asked casually.

"I don't know, but this old man himself is inconvenient, I look uncomfortable, I think I can help, anyway, it's nothing." Ye Nan sighed and said.

Liu Mei thought so.

"The world is very bad these days, there are too many unfilial children and grandchildren, this god should really thunder and chop these beasts to death, by the way, there is a plate of braised pork in the kitchen, you can serve it together."

"Hmm."

Ye Nan smiled, and then walked to the old man with water in one hand and braised pork in the other.

"Old man, you are going to be hungry in the future, so come here, and I will go back and talk to my aunt." Ye Nan put down the braised pork and water and said softly.

But what Ye Nan didn't expect was that as soon as the old man saw the braised pork, his body seemed to be frozen, and then he suddenly cried, and he was still talking vigorously, but Ye Nan couldn't hear a word clearly.

"Old man, are your children unfilial? If that's the case, you can sue them. Ye Nan couldn't help but say, he didn't understand why a plate of braised pork would make the other party so sad.

The old man didn't speak, just cried vigorously, and then stopped for a while, and then he looked up at Ye Nan and said with some excitement.

"Baby, can you help me? Do you want to get it? ”

"Old man, you say, I will do my best." Ye Nan nodded.

When the old man heard this, he forcefully took out a burden from behind his back, and then under Ye Nan's gaze, he slowly opened it, and when he saw the things inside, Ye Nan was suddenly struck by lightning.

Ye Nan would never have imagined that there would be these things here.

Military medals, black-and-white photographs, and a very old watch.

"Old man, have you ever fought?" Ye Nan asked with some emotion.

"I fought devils, I killed a lot of devils, and later became the chief guard, the chief is my savior, he is very good to me, I want to find him in my life." The tone of the old man's speech was still from Sichuan Province, but Ye Nan was in awe.

He never thought that the old man in front of him would be a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War, a real hero.

As long as you are a Chinese person, you should not forget the eight years of history, looking at the old man in front of him, Ye Nan felt an indescribable anger in his heart, he should have been a big hero and should enjoy his old age in peace, but he lived such a miserable life, I have to say that this is a kind of sadness.

More than 70 years ago, like the old man in front of him, he was just a childish teenager, but the entire land of China has fallen into a beacon fire, they resolutely defend the motherland, kill the enemy to the death, and would rather be a ghost killed in war than a slave to the country.

But such a person actually rummaged through the trash can at his door to eat, and for a while, Ye Nan's heart felt like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.

"Grandpa, what's your name? Do you remember what your chief was called? Ye Nan asked respectfully.

"My name is Liu Gensheng, and the chief's name is Chen*."

"What!?" After Ye Nan heard it, he couldn't help but call out in surprise, he was too familiar with this name, a famous founding general, a well-known hero! His deeds also went to primary school Chinese textbooks.

Ye Nan couldn't imagine that the old man in front of him was actually the guard of this great hero, but why did he fall to such a point?

Ye Nan didn't ask much about this, he picked up the photo in the baggage, looked at it carefully, although the photo was very blurry, but it could be seen clearly.

There are two people in the photo, one looks like a teenager, wearing a military uniform, smiling happily, like a big boy, and the other is a man in his thirties, looking very dignified, with a watch on his wrist, which is the one in front of him, there is no doubt that the young man in the photo is the old man in front of him, and the other person must be the founding general.

"Old man, you are a national hero, come to our store." Ye Nan carefully put away the burden and persuaded.

But Liu Gensheng said that he was too dirty, and he didn't want to say anything, so Ye Nan had no choice but to lie to him and say that if he didn't agree, then he wouldn't help him find the chief.

Liu Gensheng agreed.

Liu Mei didn't know why Ye Nan brought the old beggar over, but she didn't make any moves to drive people away.

"Auntie, this is an old hero." Ye Nan said solemnly.

But Liu Mei still doesn't quite understand, and Liu Gensheng is even more uncomfortable, he is an authentic rural person, at the age of 14 to participate in the revolution to fight devils, after countless life and death crises, and later because of injury, was sent back to the village.

He has never had a wife in his life, he has always lived alone, and he has never told anyone about him, so no one knows the true identity of this lonely old man.

Since the year before last, Liu Gensheng felt that he didn't have much time to live, and the dreams he had every night when he slept were also from the time of the war, which made him miss his chief even more, so he decided to come out to look for it.

In the past two years, Liu Gensheng has been transferred from Sichuan Province to Zhonghai, all the way can be said to be begging for food, and it is very difficult, and Liu Gensheng has never realized what kind of hero he is, he only feels that he is a big soldier.

After arriving in the big city, his eyes were even blacker, and he couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

Although he has entered the restaurant now, Ye Nan respects him very much, but Liu Gensheng still feels very inferior, afraid that he will dirty this place.
