Enlisting for the second time, starting from the strongest

Chapter 510 Hidden secrets
At Liuguang's repeated request, the three of them finally sat obediently at the table, eating cold dishes and waiting for Liuguang.

After about ten minutes, Liuguang wiped the sweat from his forehead and brought over a large plate of grilled skewers from the kitchen. All of them were sizzling with oil and steam coming out of them.

"Come on, come on, we haven't been together for a long time. Why don't you stay at my place tonight and have a drink?"

After placing the skewers on the table, Liuguang turned around and turned on the lights in the room, hung a sign saying "Closed" on the door, and finally pulled down the rolling shutter door.

He took out a whole box of iced beer from the refrigerator and placed it on the table. Then he joined the three of them, chatting and laughing about some interesting things that happened in the past:
"Do you still remember that when we were on a mission, Yinghuo, you were covering our retreat. You almost got yourself killed after covering our retreat for a long time. Fortunately, Wang Chen came and led us back to fight and rescued you. Yinghuo, you were too arrogant at that time."

"Don't give me that. Isn't it because I knew you guys would come? That's why I dared to hit you like that."

"Okay, okay, what about the infiltration mission on the sidelines? Do you still remember it?"

"Yes! How could it be that time when we ambushed the enemy?"

"Yes, yes, that time."

Everyone was eating hot skewers and drinking cold beer, and the scene was really lively and exciting.

It was the Old Soldier BBQ opened by Liuguang. It seemed that he was the only one running the business, so Wang Chen couldn't help but feel a little curious. He asked under the pretext of drinking:
"Liuguang, why do I see that you, the veteran, are the only one having a barbecue?"

"What happened to you after you were discharged from the army? Please tell us about it. We really want to know."

After Wang Chen finished speaking, Qian Ze and Yinghuo on the side nodded repeatedly, expressing their agreement with what Wang Chen said.

They were also very curious, especially Yinghuo, who felt something was wrong some time before Liuguang retired from the army.

If it is said that Liuguang's physical fitness cannot keep up, that is not very realistic.

According to Liuguang's current physical fitness, it is not a problem to maintain it for at least another two or three years. Moreover, they now have individual exoskeleton armor, so there is no need to worry about this at all.

And it was obvious that Liuguang longed for life in the army, but why did he choose to retire and come back to open a veterans barbecue restaurant?

This puzzled them, because if they transferred to the third term and worked for another four years, their salary and benefits would be much better.

"As for me, it's nothing. My family is in urgent need of money."

Liuguang really wanted to speak up and skip over this topic, but Yinghuo obviously didn't want to.

"In urgent need of money? If you need money urgently, tell us! It's not like we don't have any money!"

If you need the military retirement pay urgently, there is really no need to do this! What on earth happened?

Liuguang was silent for a while, listening to Yinghuo's complaints. He just tilted his head back and poured the entire bottle of beer down his throat. As the alcohol slowly took effect, he said:
"My mother was in the late stage of cancer and needed a large sum of money. I came back with my retirement pay to accompany her and pay off the money she owed, and then accompanied her on her last journey."

"Then I used the remaining money to renovate the store and opened this Veteran BBQ."

"I don't need money now. I will make money on my own and work hard to live a better life."

After Liuguang finished speaking, Wang Chen, Yinghuo and Qian Ze all fell into a brief silence.

Liuguang's meaning was already very clear. He was a filial man, and filial piety was the most important virtue. It was really not appropriate for them to say anything like blaming him.

"Eat, eat more! If it's not enough, I'll go to the charcoal grill in the back kitchen and grill it for you. I've prepared a lot of food!"

"Okay! Let's have a drink!"

Everyone was enjoying themselves again. They drank from five in the afternoon until ten in the evening. They felt dizzy from drinking so much that they went to the second floor to lie down and take a nap. When they woke up the next day, it was already ten in the morning.

The group packed up briefly, bought some supplements that the elderly might drink, and the four of them got in the car and drove towards Captain Cheng's hometown.

After the drink last night, the previous unfamiliarity was completely gone, and was replaced by familiarity.

When Liuguang heard that the entire team was equipped with individual exoskeleton armor and read their description, his face was filled with indescribable envy.

That's a single-soldier exoskeleton armor! Even science fiction movies don't dare to shoot it like this, but now they have shot it, which makes him extremely envious.

"If we have a chance, we can enlist for the second time, just like me. We can also experience the individual exoskeleton armor when we return to the army for the second time!"

"Haha, if there's a chance, definitely."

Liuguang and Wang Chen were joking unscrupulously. There were four people in the car today, which was obviously much more lively than the three people yesterday.

The driver was also changed from Qianze to Yinghuo. According to Yinghuo's original words, he wanted to experience the different experience of driving a luxury car.

The route to Captain Cheng’s hometown was quite far, but with four people taking turns driving, and with laughter and chatter all the way, the time in the car didn’t seem so long.

"We'll be there soon, do you want to buy something?"

Liuguang, who was driving, turned around and asked the three people.

I feel that what I bought is not very comprehensive. Should I buy something else?

"Sure, I'll go buy some oil, rice, noodles, etc. These are probably what the old man uses the most."

Wang Chen signaled Liuguang to stop the car and went to the small shop at the entrance of the village.

The old soldier in the store looked at the stranger who got out of the luxury car and was also very curious. While looking at Wang Chen, he asked cheerfully:

"Whose child are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"Me? I am."

Wang Chen thought for a while. His memory was still good and he still remembered which house Cheng Li's mother lived in.

"I'm a comrade of the fifth family in the east of the village. I came to check on his mother for him. Is his mother doing well?"

"The fifth family in the east of the village? Didn't they move away a long time ago?"

The shop owner was stunned for a moment, then started counting with his fingers.

"Ah? Moved away? When did that happen?"

Wang Chen was a little confused. Wasn't Cheng Li's mother a lonely person? Why would she move away?
Before, Cheng Li persuaded his mother to go to the city, but she didn’t agree?

How can you move away just like that now?
Could it be that I was wrong? It was not the fifth one, but the sixth one?

Thinking of this, Wang Chen decided to ask again:

"Boss, I can't remember whether it was the fifth or sixth family, but there was an old lady in their family who was about sixty years old."
