"What do you mean, comrade? You look down on me, right? Why do I want your money for! Old man, I have money for money! What do I want your money for!"

The old man's face turned cold, as if he had been greatly insulted. He was very excited. He pointed at Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao's nose and scolded him. Although the words were just back and forth, each sentence was more excited than the other.

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao was frightened and couldn't figure out how fierce the old man's reaction would be.

But I saw that the old man was dressed simply and old, his face was covered with the ravines of time, his hands were covered with calluses, his feet were still wearing old-fashioned liberation shoes, and an old-fashioned leather hat on his head. Every wrinkle on his mottled face was trembling, and he was very excited.

Li Shuai quickly explained, "Old comrades, don't be excited. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao has no other meaning. You know that we have wrong discipline and cannot take the masses' things for no reason. During the Liberation War, the troops had to write IOUs with the masses' things, let alone now, what do you think?"

"You comrade's words are wrong!" The old man pointed at Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao's nose and was not polite at all. "I understand that you have discipline. It's not wrong for ordinary people to deliver some breakfast to their soldiers, right? Why can't we deal with it flexibly? Look at these children, sitting on the roadside in the middle of winter, can you cadres sit on the side of the road? Officers and soldiers are equal, why do you eat delicious and spicy soldiers eat dry food? I tell you that this is called bureaucracy!"

The exaggeration was made, and Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao was in a cold sweat. He also realized that this old man was not an ordinary person, and he might have been a leading cadre when he pointed at his nose and scolded him with such an air.

A patrol police car happened to pass by. From a distance, I saw some people gathering here and quarreling with the troops. I quickly accelerated over. Two policemen jumped out of the car, and took a few auxiliary police officers. After seeing Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, I hurried over to say hello to find out the situation.

The police officer who led the team said laughing and crying, "So that's the case."

He thought there was a conflict. It turned out that the old man insisted on delivering breakfast to the officers and soldiers of the army, but the army insisted on not accepting it. This is a great thing! The military and civilian relationship worthy of publicity.

The old man was impatient and pointed at Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao and said, "You comrade, I tell you that my breakfast is for the soldiers, and I must be assigned to each soldier. Don't talk about military discipline to me. Old man, your parents were still in the womb when I was in the army. You tell me this to the old man!"

"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao, it's me, Xiao Liu, you don't remember it. I am Xiao Liu from Chengguan." The police officer who led the team was in his forties and walked over and said hello to the old man as if he pointed at his nose and grandson.

The old man glanced at him and said, "It's not your business here, it's my and the army's business. You should do whatever you should do."

"Uncle Zhao, you are really my uncle. The army is training. Didn't this affect the army's training? I know that you feel sorry for the soldiers, but you also understand the cadres of the army. If they accept the punishment after going back, wouldn't they?" Officer Liu persuaded him earnestly.

Mr. Zhao snorted coldly and said, "What's the reason? Whoever leader dares to punish you, tell me! I want to reason with him! Even if I talk about the military region, I'm not afraid!"

The students opened their eyes wide and raised their ears to watch the show. Everyone could see that the old man who was not astonishingly handsome must have something to do. His posture and momentum were not inferior to the old leader of the corps if he changed into a military uniform.

He Biting, Zhang Xiaoran and Chen Xiao were right next to him. When he saw this situation, he couldn't sit still. He quickly stood up and persuaded Mr. Zhao to talk to Mr. Zhao as a girl. When Mr. Zhao saw that he was a three-girl baby, his attitude suddenly improved a lot and he became a little angry.

The persuader there, Officer Liu quickly explained the situation to Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, "This Uncle Zhao is a veteran who participated in the Liberation War and is 88 years old this year."

"It's eighty-eight!" Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao was surprised, "It's not like it at all!"

"Yes, the old man is very tough and has no children. He runs a breakfast stall by himself and is also a nosy person. Many people in our Chengguan District know him." Police Officer Liu said.

Li Shuai suddenly asked, "Since you have participated in the Liberation War, you have relevant policies and pensions, and the old man's life doesn't look good."

Officer Liu knew the military rank, but he did not dare to underestimate Li Shuai, who was young but had the rank of fourth-level sergeant chief, and answered very seriously, "Yes, the whole country has been re-registered for information about veterans in the past two years. Everyone knows that this old man has been a soldier, but this old man is also a strange man. He is very stubborn and does not say anything and does not provide any materials. The Veterans Affairs Center only has a simple file, which can only prove that he has been a soldier and fought the Liberation War, and can only give him pensions according to the treatment of veterans participating in the war. But we also see that this old man must have been a leader when he was in the army. Look at his posture, ordinary veterans do not have this posture."

He smiled and said, "The old man's life is actually good. He is a veteran who participates in the war and is a five-guarantee household. The relevant departments are very concerned about it. Don't look at him dressing simply and the old man has a lot of savings. He is just used to such a life and is usually frugal. Everyone knows his situation. The breakfast stall business is good and he earns several hundred yuan a day."

Li Shuai frowned and said, "It's one thing for the old comrades to be stubborn, and it's one thing for your local relevant departments to do their jobs. Since there are clues, why not find a way to figure out the old comrades' previous service situation. We cannot let the old seniors who have shed blood for the country stay silent and dig up their deeds, which is a great motivation for us younger generations. If the old comrades were leading cadres in the past, then he should have moved into a retirement house, not now."

This is not like what the non-commissioned officer said, which made Officer Liu feel a little uncomfortable and said, "This is not under our police station's jurisdiction, haha."

Li Shuai didn't continue to talk.

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao is a very keen person. He calculated and made a quick decision, "Police Liu, thank you for your information."

"Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao, I think you should accept the old man's kindness. After all, you are eighty-eight years old. If you are excited, what's the point? Good things turn into bad things, right?" said Officer Liu.

"That's right." Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao nodded and said yes.

After being comforted by He Biting and the other two, Mr. Zhao felt much better, but he still insisted on sending the breakfast out with a very firm attitude.

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao and Li Shuai discussed a few words in a low voice, called Niu Jun over and discussed a few words, and quickly came up with a decision. Li Shuai and Niu Jun immediately began to dig out Mr. Zhao's situation. Maybe it was possible to really dig out an old combat hero, which was of great significance to the whole party, the whole country and the army.

There was Wang Xiaoqing and Liu Xiaojian staring at the training team. Li Shuai was not worried about anything and agreed to use two to three days to investigate Mr. Zhao's situation first, and then chase the training team to organize the subsequent training.

They decided not to report for the time being and to understand the situation first. If they are really a veteran and an old leading cadre with outstanding achievements, it would not be at their level.

Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao said in a deep voice, "Feeling at this old man's attitude of coaching people, he must be a leading cadre. Squad Leader, Niu reporter, if you figure out his situation, it will definitely be a great achievement."

"These are all secondary. We cannot let the heroes be silent." Niu Jun said seriously.

"You are right, you can start your work immediately. I will organize the troops to continue moving forward." Deputy Battalion Commander Zhao said.

Uncle Zhao finally got his wish. Seeing the soldiers eating the breakfast he made in big mouthfuls, Lu Li's face was full of smiles and comfort. He stood there and watched the troops leave, with tears in his turbid eyes.

Niu Jun said, "Uncle Zhao, let's send you back."

Uncle Zhao looked at Li Shuai and Niu Jun and asked, "Why don't you follow the troops? My old man doesn't need anyone to send him away. Let's go, you guys, it's too hard, let's go."

Niu Jun had no choice but to see that this old man was not ordinary.

Li Shuai walked up to Mr. Zhao and smiled and said, "Uncle Zhao, I want to talk to you. We can't talk on the roadside, right? If you don't want us to send you home, we'll find a place to sit and drink tea and chat."

Uncle Zhao squinted his eyes and looked at Li Shuai, suddenly pointed at Li Shuai and said, "You are different from them."

Li Shuai was slightly shocked and just smiled.

"Uncle Zhao, is there anything special about him?" Niu Jun asked curiously.

Uncle Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's go and sit in my house. It's time for a little popularity at home."

After saying that, he walked forward with his hands behind his back.

Li Shuai quickly pushed the tricycle up and followed, while Niu Jun followed Mr. Zhao and asked some questions from time to time. However, Niu Jun soon discovered that Mr. Zhao's attitude was relatively perfunctory. Mr. Zhao's attitude towards Li Shuai was particularly different, and he spoke strangely, as if the two of them had a close relationship.

After walking for more than two kilometers, I arrived at a residential area in the eastern suburbs of the city. It was a village located in the eastern suburbs of the city. It was built by self-built buildings and almost invisible to the bungalows, so the three bungalows where Mr. Zhao lived seemed particularly abrupt. The small courtyard surrounded by fences, and there were vegetable fields on the front side of the house.

After entering the central bungalow as the living room, the smell of the elderly living alone came out. It was clean and tidy, the furniture was simple, and the items were regular. A portrait of *** and Commander-in-Chief Zhu hung in the middle of the wall, and there was almost no other decoration. No item could prove that Mr. Zhao had been a soldier and had no photo frames, so there was no more clues at all.

Uncle Zhao took out the tea and made tea. Niu Jun wanted to do it on his behalf and let Uncle Zhao refuse.

However, Li Shuai sat down without any restraint and waited for the conversation.

Mr. Zhao held the tea tray and placed it on the mottled tea table. After sitting down, he poured tea for the two of them.

Niu Jun couldn't help asking, "Uncle Zhao, you just said that Li Shuai is different from others. Is there anything special about him? He is just a little handsome, right?"

"Of course you little girl can't tell." Mr. Zhao pointed at Li Shuai, "There is a bloody smell on this kid."

"Ah?" Niu Jun was shocked.

Li Shuai didn't dare to face Mr. Zhao's gaze. Every time Mr. Zhao stared at him and saw him, he found that Mr. Zhao's turbid gaze became very clear. The most important thing was that he felt that under Mr. Zhao's gaze, he had no secret at all, and the things hidden in the deepest part of his heart seemed to have been seen through.

Uncle Zhao squinted his eyes and looked at Li Shuai, and asked with a smile, "You are so strong that you smell like blood at a young age. You are not simple."

"Girl, don't you want to know what is different from others? What is a soldier? You are either wearing a military uniform or a soldier. In my eyes, everyone else can only be considered half a soldier. This young man is different. He has seen blood and has been on the battlefield, right?" Mr. Zhao said calmly.

Niu Jun could not digest such information at all, and was very surprised, "Have you been on the battlefield? Mr. Zhao, now it is a peaceful era. He is only in his twenties, so how can he have the chance to go to the battlefield? But you, you must have fought a war."

"There is no peace in the eyes of soldiers." Mr. Zhao shook his head while sucking tea, pointing to Li Shuai and saying to Niu Jun, "You ask him."

Niu Jun looked at Li Shuai.

Li Shuai was hesitating.

He knew very well that he had no secret in front of this old man, but he could not tell.

Li Shuai did not admit it or deny it, but said, "Mr. Zhao, you are definitely not just an ordinary veteran. Let me tell you the truth, we really want to know your service experience. This is both an inspiration and a guide for us juniors."

Uncle Zhao did not continue to talk about Li Shuai, it was obvious that he knew the discipline.

He smiled slightly and said, "In the past, the Civil Affairs Bureau is now a veteran service center. Every now and then, I come to find my deeds. All the deeds are things in the past. It's a big deal that makes me seem to have really done something amazing. It's very unnecessary. I'm just an old man who might be silly at any time."

The logic of speaking is clear, and it is impossible to tell that he is eighty-eight years old.

"I have nothing to promote. You people should promote the sacrificed martyrs. They are heroes. What am I? Live a life of silence and make a living every day."

Niu Jun said, "Mr. Zhao, we also need a living hero. You know the power of role models, the role models that young soldiers need to learn from, and have a deep understanding of the fighting spirit of the Chinese people."

Mr. Zhao waved his hand and said, "Our nation is not short of role models, and my affairs are not worth mentioning."

With such a firm attitude, Niu Jun was in trouble and looked at Li Shuai for help.

Li Shuai was confused again. He had a way to let Mr. Zhao tell the past, but he needed to reveal some of his own affairs. He had to measure it well and chat with Mr. Zhao without violating the confidentiality discipline.

After a moment of silence, Li Shuai said, "Niu Jun, let me have a chat with Mr. Zhao alone."

"Oh, okay, okay, okay." Niu Jun immediately understood and stood up and said, "Uncle Zhao, you have a chat with Li Shuai first, I happened to go around."

Niu Jun left, but was not idle either. Instead, he visited his neighbors and learned about Mr. Zhao's situation from the side.
