Chapter 99 The great China, the shining glory

Originally, Zhao Weiguo didn't have high hopes, but the moment he put on the exoskeleton, he felt the missing parts were cool and numb, followed by a sense of comfort from bottom to top.

What surprised the grandfather and grandson the most was that the knee position of the exoskeleton prosthesis actually moved.

"Grandpa, did you move it yourself or did it move it?" Zhao Wanwan asked in surprise.

"I should have moved it myself..." The old man, who had not moved his legs for a long time, couldn't tell whether he was moving or the exoskeleton was moving.

Zhao Wanwan said quickly: "Grandpa, could you lift your right foot?"

It was the left foot that moved just now, but this time it’s the right foot that moved.

"Can you keep raising your right foot?"

"I...I'll try!"

Zhao Weiguo was so excited that he couldn't understand what he was saying.

He thought about raising his right foot in his mind, and then he actually raised his right foot for a long time.

Following his own thoughts, his legs can bend freely.

"This is so, so amazing!"

The old man smiled so happily for the first time.

"Grandpa, let me help you stand up!"

With Zhao Wanwan's support, Zhao Weiguo actually stood up, and even asked his granddaughter to let go of her supporting hand.

Then after getting familiar with it for a while, he was able to walk normally.

"I actually stood up!"

The old chief's hearty laughter sounded in the room.

Even from the guard room, the movement here can be vaguely heard.

The previous guard couldn't help but look towards the courtyard and muttered: "What makes the old man so happy?"

"Look at Wanwan, I'm standing up."

"Well, I saw grandpa." Zhao Wanwan cried with joy and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

In more than twenty years, this is the first time I see the old man so happy.

I remember one of the rare times when he was happy, when his two eldest sisters gave birth to children, allowing his grandfather to hold his grandchildren.

As if he was a newborn baby, Zhao Weiguo moved around the room. He could now go directly to some narrow places that were previously inaccessible in a wheelchair.

He can even bend down and pick up the colored pens that his grandson dropped on the ground.

Zhao Wanwan was happy from the bottom of her heart when she saw this scene, and even more admired the technology of the exoskeleton.

"This is really a good thing. Not only can it move so flexibly, but it can even do actions that normal people can do."

Mr. Zhao admired this prosthetic limb from the bottom of his heart. The prosthetic limbs he had worn before were either uncomfortable or ugly, and they could only satisfy standing.

Like bending a prosthetic knee or something, don’t even think about it.

"Suddenly I feel like I need to go to the toilet."

The old man felt that everything was fresh. When he went to the bathroom to relieve himself and came out, his whole face turned red. He praised his granddaughter in various ways: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect that I could squat down to use the toilet by myself." .”

"I also feel like I'm going to have to sit on a chair with a poop hole for the rest of my life."

At this time, he saw his grandson and his playmates outside the yard again, and said in his mouth: "My dear grandson, grandpa is here to hug you!"

Zhao Weiguo rushed out and picked up his grandson. The grandson was also curious about why his grandfather stood up.

Before he could figure it out, his grandfather hugged him with one hand and ran around the family compound with the windmill in the other hand. The energetic and naughty children behind him couldn't catch up even though they were playing tricks behind him.

The big fat Sun who was being held in his arms looked at his friend who couldn't catch up and kept giggling.

"Grandpa, run quickly, the Oita car is going to turn ashes!"

"Okay, grandpa needs to speed up!"

Although Zhao Weiguo, who was originally a soldier, is now old, his capital is still strong enough, but because he has been sitting in a wheelchair all year round, he gives people a sickly and extremely weak feeling.

But running like this, he looks much younger.

At this time, guard Xiao Chen saw Zhao Weiguo who had already run around the yard and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Hey, good guy, whose uncle is running so fast?"

"I'm kidding, isn't that the old chief?!" As shocked as the guard were the other neighbors in the courtyard. Almost at the same time, they all saw Zhao Weiguo running downstairs.

"Is that Lao Zhao?"

"No, when did Lao Zhao grow two legs?"

"My dear, it's really Lao Zhao. Why did he stand up and run so fast!"

Because Zhao Weiguo was wearing a pair of military green casual pants, and the exoskeleton highlighted his leg shape very well, he looked like a normal person at this time.

Especially when Zhao Weiguo was worried that his grandson's heart would be overwhelmed by running so fast and he crouched down to put him down. This little move surprised the military relatives upstairs.

"Grandpa, please take a rest, don't tire yourself out."

Zhao Wanwan caught up from behind, panting and laughing.

"Tired?" Mr. Zhao patted his chest, looking back at those years with heroic eyes, "How could I be tired? I remember that when my legs were just blown off by the Japanese, I had to use force to crawl. Assassinated two Japs."

"Do you know why?"

"What?"

When Zhao Wanwan was a child, she often heard about her grandfather's heroic deeds.

"Because I am strong."

"Maybe you don't know how tall your grandfather was at that time, a full 1.8 meters tall, with a strong build and a body full of tendons."

"That's not what a little devil like a dwarf can compare to. Even if I lose my legs, I will still kill them."

The old man's eyes were fierce and proud, but when he looked at his granddaughter, his eyes became soft and doting.

Zhao Wanwan also smiled softly and said, "Grandpa is very tall now."

"Yes," Zhao Weiguo said in a long voice, as if he had finally vented his frustration for more than twenty years, "I feel that even if I die now, I will die without regrets."

"Bah, bah, bah, grandpa can't say such things, you must know how to avoid prophecies!" Zhao Wanwan complained.

Zhao Weiguo grinned: "Yes, you can't die like this. Even if you want to die, you have to drag a few little devils to support you."

But immediately, he looked up at the national flag flying high in the sky over the security office, and said happily: "But it's better now. The country is strong and prosperous, and there will no longer be little devils bullying us."

"Well, grandpa, you are right." Zhao Wanwan nodded heavily.

"Wanwan, you said that this exoskeleton was built for me by top domestic experts, as well as the foreign team. You asked them to inform them to come to me. I want to thank you personally."

Zhao Weiguo now wants to thank these people in person.

Just because the old man said so calmly that he wanted to invite these people over, it meant that everyone had to give face to his banquet.

And Zhao Wanwan also knew that the thank you grandpa said was not an ordinary thank you.

In particular, the old man's gratitude with great gratitude can help ordinary people rise to the top within the scope of abiding by moral laws and regulations.

After all, in the capital, no one knows how powerful Mr. Zhao is.

Zhao Wanwan lowered his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, grandpa, did I lie to you?"

"Lie to me?"

"What can you lie to me about?"

"You lied to me that this prosthetic leg is actually not that effective. Is it just my psychological effect?"

Zhao Weiguo found it a bit funny. How could he not know whether something was good or not?

"No grandpa," Zhao Wanwan said in a delicate voice, "Actually, I spent 20,000 on this prosthetic limb from a certain store. I was afraid that you wouldn't want to wear it, so I said it was developed by domestic and foreign experts."

"What?"

Zhao Weiguo's eyes were as wide as a cow's eyes: "Such a good thing can be bought at a certain treasure? And it only costs 20,000?"

Immediately, Zhao Weiguo suddenly cried.

"Grandpa, don't be sad. I didn't mean to lie to you." Zhao Wanwan thought it was her white lie that made her grandfather sad, and she quickly bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

He didn't know what Zhao Weiguo was thinking, but he shook his head, looking proud and regretful, and murmured: "Xiao Dongzi, Gao Bangzi, brothers of the Fourth Red Company, have you seen that our country is really It’s become stronger.”

"If such prostheses had been available at that time, our four consecutive brothers who were disabled after running through landmines could still continue to kill Japanese soldiers. How could we end up in depression?"
