Chapter 543 The dusty time, the hero who cannot hide

"Huh? What's going on, village chief?"

Children rarely tell lies, so Ji Donglai directly hugged the little guy in the car, and the village chief grinned.

"His family was a member of the Fengjun army who fled into the Pass. Those who didn't resist can't be counted. That's what the village said!"

"Yes, their family is embarrassed and cannot be counted!"

"Yes, the teacher said that it would be embarrassing for them not to resist..."

The adults didn't speak, but the children spoke. Ji Donglai couldn't help but be stunned. The little boy was biting his lips tightly at this time, and tears were filling his eyes.

"My grandfather participated in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War, and even fought against Lao Maozi before that. How can he not be a hero of the Anti-Japanese War? Their family was a stretcher bearer, and they were heroes even though they had never fired a gun. Their family was a trench digger, and they had never touched a gun.

; Their family is a singer in the army, can they be considered heroes of the Anti-Japanese War?"

"Have your family ever killed Japanese soldiers? Why should you guys be counted? Those of our family who have killed Japanese soldiers will not be counted. It's not fair..."

Tears were falling down, and the little boy's fists were clenched tightly. The village chief over there did not dare to look at the little boy at this time. Ji Donglai saw all this.

A group of little guys were still arguing. The little boy stood in the car and almost started to quarrel with the crowd. Ji Donglai waved his hands, and the group of kids stopped arguing.

"Principal Han, you are a teacher, do you think this counts?"

Ji Donglai looked back at the school principal, who was covered in sweat while carrying supplies.

"If you ask me, this village is basically made up of military households. This is the same relationship as having a disability certificate and not having a disability certificate. If you have a missing leg and don't have a disability certificate, you are still considered a disabled person. But the food is yours.

You decide."

After wiping the sweat from his head, Principal Han wiped the tears from the little boy's face, and the village chief tapped his pipe.

"It doesn't matter what I say, but we don't dare to say anything without the following. Principal Han is an intellectual, and we believe you. From now on, our village cannot say that Lao Wang's family is not a member of the resistance war. No matter who says anything,

We must have a balance in our hearts."

"Nah, Lao Wang is at the end of the village. Teacher Han, please take Mr. Ji over there. We are cadres, forget it. You young people like you will have some virtue in your mouth in the future. If you dare to say this, you will not be allowed to go to school in the future.

do you know?"

Ji Donglai is a person who really does practical things for the village. The village chief can't argue with him, but he doesn't dare to really say something fair to Wang Guangzhi's family.

Just like that, Teacher Han took Ji Donglai, and the convoy entered the relatively shabby small courtyard of the village with the last supplies under the guidance of the little boy.

It is a traditional green-brick building. The yard is very smooth, and it can be seen that the owner is very clean.

The fence in the fence yard is crooked and is supported by sticks. It may topple over at any time.

The wooden door has not been painted, and the surface has decayed and turned black. Unlike many other homes, the old man's home uses a traditional hinge structure instead of hinges.

The tomatoes in the small garden in the yard bear beautiful fruits, and the cucumbers are hanging all over the branches. There is a row of fruit trees along the wall, and the branches are already bent by the fruits.

The design of the main house in the wing wing shows that the people who built the house are very traditional. The wing on the left is a cowshed. There are no livestock at this time, and a group of domestic chickens are napping on it.

"Grandpa, eldest brother came to see you. He said that you are also a hero of the Anti-Japanese War..."

Before Ji Donglai could get off the car, the little boy jumped out of the car first and ran wildly into the yard.

"Zhiqiang, run slowly, don't fall down. You are not a hero, don't argue with others, you are a disobedient child."

With his face turned sideways, Wang Guangzhi staggered toward the little boy with a hunched body. Wang Guangzhi's wife poked her head out of the door behind him.

"Zhiqiang, come into the courtyard with a guest. The visitor is a guest. Yesterday I told you to bring the guest. Don't run so fast."

He reached out and touched Wang Zhiqiang's head. The old lady was very doting, almost the same as the old man. The other party also tilted his head. Ji Donglai called his men to lift the things off the car.

There was a small table at the door, with a plate of scrambled eggs, two side dishes from the garden, and a pot of wine.

"Mr. Ji, we don't have anything to entertain at home. I heard from Zhiqiang that you helped our village build roads, build houses, and get electric lights for the village. We thank you. Sit down quickly. We thank you on behalf of our old brothers."

Wang Guangzhi vaguely saw the outline of Ji Donglai. Ji Donglai hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it together. After a closer look, he found that the old man's eyes were completely cloudy and the joints of his hands were severely swollen.

One of the old lady's eyes had a white spot the size of a red bean.

"Uncle, what's wrong with your eyes? The same goes for my aunt's eyes. Can this be operated on?"

Although Wang Guangzhi is already stooped, judging from his body shape, when he was young, he was at least 1.9 meters tall and very burly.

"It doesn't matter. I'm ninety-seven this year and I don't have a few more days to live. I might go see my old comrades in a few years. My son's grandmother is now eighty-five. She's already very old.

Once you get off the operating table, you may not be able to come down."

"This is fate. Don't fight against fate. Sit down, Mr. Ji. Over here in Guandong, you are a good person. You build bridges and roads to benefit the country. According to the old rules, I have to set up a merit monument for you. I am old.

I can’t move anymore, I can’t carry a stone anymore, I’m sorry, our future generations will remember it.”

"I haven't cooked anything delicious. You can eat eggs. This is the wine we brewed at home. If you drink some, it can be regarded as a little bit of appreciation from our local people. People are quiet and talkative. I am getting older and the young people in the village have gone out to work. The remaining

The people below can't do it either, please forgive me..."

Wang Guangzhi spoke very politely, and the little boy looked at the eggs on the table and swallowed his saliva.

Ji Donglai didn't want to eat at all, but Wang Guang held his hand and couldn't resist.

"Teacher Han, please sit down too, I'm so enthusiastic..."

He asked a group of his men to go back first. Ji Donglai and Teacher Han had no choice but to sit down. Wang Guangzhi then sat down.

The stupid eggs raised at home were fried with simple salt and tasted very good. The rice grains were not big, but the taste was really good. Ji Donglai and Teacher Han ate two bowls of rice each.

As for the eggs, most of them were given to Wang Zhiqiang by Ji Donglai. It can be seen that scrambled eggs are not often made at home, and the little guy ate them deliciously.

"Uncle, I heard that you also participated in the Anti-Japanese War? Tell us about it. There are fewer and fewer veterans like you. Those who are left are our national treasures. Let us catch up, so you can reluctantly tell us about it.

What happened back then, I will go back soon..."

His subordinates hadn't come back yet, so Ji Donglai had nothing to do so he just started talking to Wang Guang about family affairs. At first, the other party didn't want to recall what happened back then.
