"Chen Kaixuan! Chen Kaixuan! Haha! I know! I know Chen Kaixuan!"

Zhao Shengli clapped his legs and laughed, "That is indeed the name I gave him! Can Chen Qi still move now?"

"Yes." Wei Ran paused, "He just... doesn't live a happy life."

"Not very happy?" Zhao Shengli thought for a while, "Is his son unfilial?"

"Filial, very filial, and his family's living conditions look good."

"well..."

Zhao Shengli sighed suddenly, and after a moment of silence he said, "Yes...he must be unhappy in his life. My child, how did you find yourself here?"

"I..."

Wei Ran was silent for a moment, "Old man, I am studying history. I accidentally found Mr. Chen and you through some information some time ago, and saw your experiences on the battlefield. I just wanted to go see him and then see you.

There is no other purpose, I just want to see if you are doing well."

"Okay, you're having a good time!"

Zhao Shengli patted the leg that was missing the sole of his foot and said with a satisfied look on his face, "How wonderful life is now. We have enough food and clothing, and we don't have to fight. The village also built a road. Last fall, even the poor county's hat

They’ve all been picked! There are a lot of fruit trees planted in our village, and a cannery was built a few years ago!”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Old man..."

Wei Ran tried to ask something, but found that he had been preparing all the way, and had prepared a lot of words, but none of them came out.

He thought that Zhao Shengli would still be the same vigorous scout even when he was old, but he didn't expect that one of his legs was missing the sole of his foot. He thought that Zhao Shengli would be as depressed as Chen Qi, but he didn't expect that Zhao Shengli would still be so sunny, cheerful and positive.

up.

The only thing he expected was probably the sentence "Why is your consciousness so low?".

But...he didn't know why, but he couldn't laugh at all, and he couldn't feel happy. Instead, he felt more and more uncomfortable.

After a long silence, Wei Ran finally opened the suitcase in a panic and took out the various gifts he had prepared.

"You kid, what are you doing?" Zhao Shengli stopped Wei Ran in confusion.

"Mr. Chen Qi asked me to bring it to you," Wei Ran lied.

Zhao Shengli hesitated for a moment, and finally slowly let go of his hand.

"Old man, can you tell me the story of you and Chen Qi?" Wei Ran asked tentatively.

"The story of Chen Qi and me?"

Zhao Shengli sat down again, and after a moment of silence he said with a hearty smile, "We don't have any stories to tell. We just fought for a few years and came back after the war. I almost forgot about the things on the battlefield.

It’s clean.”

"Mr. Chen...has been waiting for them to come back."

"I can't come back." Zhao Shengli subconsciously looked at the group photo hanging on the wall, "They are all left there, my feet are also left there, and Chen Qi's soul is probably also left there."

"You...why didn't you go see Chen Qi?" Wei Ran asked with a hard heart, "He's been waiting every day."

"What's there to see?" Zhao Shengli sighed heavily, "I'm just afraid of this. I'm just afraid that he'll look at my legs and get distracted, so I don't want to see him."

"He just can't think about it..."

Wei Ran put down his tea cup, handed him a cigarette, and helped light it while saying, "When I went to see him, he was sitting at the entrance of the alley. I heard that he sat there every day, and he kept waiting.

It’s here.”

"Don't blame him" In the swirling smoke, Zhao Shengli looked at the ceiling of Zhihu Lake, but he just muttered "Don't blame him" over and over again.

"Old man"

Wei Ran sat up straight and waited for the other party to look over before he said, "Mr. Chen asked me to bring you a message."

"Bring a message? What message?" Zhao Shengli asked curiously.

Wei Ran looked at the direction of the door and waited until a well-built old lady with silver hair walked into the main room. Then he deliberately raised his voice and asked seriously, "He asked me to ask you, what else?"

Do you want to use him to introduce you to your wife?"

"What the hell?! Old man! Who wants to introduce you to your wife?!"

Before he finished speaking, the old lady who had just entered the house opened the door and walked in. She also grabbed the cigarette from Zhao Shengli's mouth and said, "Smoking secretly again! Why do you act like a chicken and forget to eat?"

Where's the record?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Sun Xiufang! Give me the cigarette! Someone is here!" Zhao Shengli looked at the old lady who was at least a head taller than him with some embarrassment.

Hearing this, the old lady noticed Wei Ran who had already hid several steps back. She immediately threw away the cigarette butt in her hand, stamped it out and praised with a smile, "This young man! He looks really straight! Come on!"

Sit down quickly! Old man, whose family does this child belong to?"

"Chen Qi, Chen Qi, do you remember?" Zhao Shengli stretched out his sweatshirt with a fertilizer advertisement printed on it and asked as if nothing was wrong.

"Chen Qi?" The old lady reacted for a while, obviously not matching the name with the person.

"The health worker Chen Qi who worked with me and your fourth uncle in the past, when I first went to your house in 1952, he also came with me. In 1954, we got married, and he even solemnized the marriage for us! What the hell are you doing?

What memory?"

"Oh! Oh my God!"

The old lady with a strong Northeastern accent slapped her thigh hard and asked excitedly, "My child, are you Chen Qi's eldest grandson?"

"no"

Zhao Shengli quickly pulled the old lady to sit down, "I am just a student. I found Chen Qi through some information. I was kind enough to go see Chen Qi, and you came here specifically to see me. Don't scare the child with your blathering.

.”

"Grandma, your fourth uncle...is he Sun Yannian?"

Wei Ran asked tentatively. He still remembered that squad leader Sun said he wanted to introduce his niece to Zhao Shengli. Looking at the old couple, it was obvious that the marriage was done.

"Do you still know about my fourth uncle?" the old lady asked in surprise. Even Zhao Shengli looked at Wei Ran in surprise.

"I know" Wei Ran nodded, but still didn't know what to say.

Hearing this, the old lady rummaged through the cabinets and found a bunch of dried hawthorns, and a bunch of walnuts, which she placed on the edge of the kang. She also took out a can of Coke from the refrigerator in the main room and handed it to Wei Ran, while enthusiastically

He greeted Wei Ran to eat whatever he wanted, and asked Zhao Shengli next to him, "Old man, tell me who was going to introduce you to a wife just now?"

"It's Mr. Chen Qichen"

Wei Ran explained helpfully, "He asked me to ask Mr. Zhao if he still needs to introduce his wife."

"Why is this person so bad!"

The old lady clapped her legs and laughed, obviously remembering some interesting past events, but then she asked, "How is he doing now? Is he still a doctor?"

"I guess I'm no longer a doctor, but I have two children, and the children are quite filial." Wei Ran relaxed and explained, "It's just... I'm just not happy."

"He must still be thinking about that broken hilltop," Zhao Shengli said firmly, "That's not his fault at all."

"Old man," Wei Ran asked tentatively, "That mountain top...what happened?"

"It's a war, what else could happen?"

Zhao Shengli poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Old lady, go get something to eat. This kid must have come all the way here and hasn't eaten yet."

"I'm going to prepare now!" Before Mrs. Sun could finish her words, she left the room in a hurry.

It wasn't until he watched the old lady walk into the side room and start busy cooking that Zhao Shengli explained, "The battle lasted for more than a week, and there were more than a hundred people in the company, so he carried me off the top of the mountain alone.

Came down.

At that time, he was carrying me on his back and holding my feet in his hands, and he ran for a whole day and a night before he took me to the hospital. But when he came back, the top of the mountain had been shaved off by American bombs.

Already.

After that, he fell into a mental illness, as if he had lost his soul. He always felt that he had become a deserter and that he was not qualified as a health worker and could not save everyone, but how could he be blamed for this?

Him?"

Zhao Shengli sighed when he said this, "The war was finally over, and I thought that I could go home, and that my wife and children could live a peaceful life while they were on the bed, so he probably looked away.

Tell me, what is the purpose of this war? Isn’t it just a plan to wipe out Ansheng’s life? If the living people can’t think about it, how uncomfortable will it be for those who didn’t survive?”

Wei Ran also sighed, "It would be great if Mr. Chen could think like you do..."

"I couldn't think about it at first."

Zhao Shengli said sadly, "Then one day, I dreamed of our squad leader, and he told me to live well and watch the future for them to see if they still need to fight.

After that, I looked away, even if it was for those who could not come back, I had to live well and live happily."

Having said this, Zhao Shengli said with some pride, "Don't think I'm missing a foot, but actually it doesn't delay anything. When I was young, I worked as an electrician, and even served as a militia company commander for a while.

What about time! This life is worth it!"

"Old man, is that your child in this photo?" Wei Ran stood up and asked, pointing to the colorful photo on the wall.

"No, they are all my children!"

Zhao Shengli allowed Wei Ran to help him up, pointed at the photos and introduced each one one by one, "This is the boss, Zhao Kaixuan, who now opens a restaurant in Chengde. He has the same name as Chen Qi's son.
