Chapter 160 Lonely Old

Su Xiaomei first prepared some side dishes for the three of them so that they could drink and chat first.

Taking advantage of the time when the old man was looking for wine, Liu Xing called Tang Xiaomin, briefly explained the situation here to her, and told her to let him and Xie Yingying have dinner first.

Sitting at the table, soon, the old man did not know where to find a bottle of wine.

"Come on, let's drink something good tonight. This was given to me by a little brother of mine a few years ago. Moutai, I don't know how many years ago."

Liu Xing hurriedly took the wine from the old man's hand. The porcelain bottle seemed to be old.

The old man sat down on the bed, pointed to the Moutai on the table, and said.

"Hurry up and open it, my grandfather will drink it first. It doesn't matter, I still have some wine here, usually it's just me, and I don't bother to open these wines."

Liu Xing nodded, opened the wine, and said to the old man.

"Grandpa Chang, my brother should be related to you."

"It has something to do with me?"

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Jin Hu, and said with a smile.

"Little friend, I just heard from Ah Xing that you are also a soldier?"

After hearing this, Jin Hu nodded with a smile and said.

"Yes, Grandpa, I was also a soldier. Later, I joined the Special Forces, and then joined the Sharp Knife. I was in the Sharp Knife for two years, and I was the captain of the Sharp Knife for more than a year."

"Are you from the Sharp Knife Squad?"

After hearing this, the old man looked at Jin Hu in shock.

Jin Hu nodded and said.

"Yes, Grandpa, I spent some time in the Sharp Knife Unit."

The old man nodded slowly and said.

"Sharp Knife Troop, that is the dream of every soldier! It is the supreme glory, and it is 100% recognized. The establishment of this Sharp Knife Troop... It must have been more than 50 years ago? I didn't expect that the Sharp Knife Troop is so young now People. Hehe, I don’t know how the sharp knife army is developing now?”

After hearing this, Jin Hu smiled a little disappointed and said.

"Grandpa Chang, I left the Sharp Knife Force a few months ago."

With that said, Jin Hu pointed to the scar on his eye socket.

"You see, this was kissed by shrapnel during a mission. The doctor said it would affect my eyesight, and I was a sniper. I had no choice but to retire."

"This...retired... You can become No. [-] Jiandao at such a young age, and you will definitely have a lot of achievements in the future. I didn't expect that you would retire like this. Alas... Back then, the establishment of Jiandao was founded by me and a few people. The old brothers jointly proposed it. It’s just that these old brothers have passed away now.”

"You are the Sharp Knife Force... you proposed to establish it?"

The old man nodded and said.

"That's right, it was me and a few older brothers who proposed the establishment of the Sharp Knife Troop. However, the Sharp Knife Troop was not very powerful at that time. Most of them selected some elite soldiers and established a sharp knife troop of 100 people. There shouldn't be so many people now, right?"

After hearing this, Jin Hu nodded and said.

"When I was the captain, the Sharp Knife Troop had already grown to ten people."

The old man smiled and said.

"In any case, those who can enter the sharp knife army are the elite among the elite, and this is even more so now. With a population of more than one billion in the country, only ten people are selected. No matter in any aspect, they are the absolute top candidates .You should be proud of yourself as a member and captain of the Sharp Knife Unit.”

"Of course, not only that, I have always been proud of being a soldier."

The old man nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and said with a big smile.

"Yes, it is our pride to be a soldier. It is definitely a very proud thing. However, it is a peaceful age now, and there is no need to fight. This is very good. When we were soldiers, That's not the case. Alas... the past is vivid in my mind, and I don't know how many brothers died on the battlefield. But their sacrifices are glorious, and their sacrifices are worth commemorating."

"Grandpa Chang, without the sacrifices of these seniors, we would not have the life we ​​have now. You are an old hero, your subordinates, and your comrades-in-arms are all old heroes. Grandpa, I offer you a toast."

With that said, Jin Hu picked up the cup and drank it down.

The old man smiled, took a sip, and put it down.

"Come and fill it up quickly, and don't keep it for me. I will never bring this thing with me. Maybe I was in a bad mood that day and left all at once. Wouldn't it be a pity to have so many good wines?"

Liu Xing filled Jin Hu with wine and said to the old man.

"Grandpa Chang, please stop talking nonsense. I think your physique is tougher than mine, and you will live a long life."

"Hahaha, I love to listen to what this guy says. But, no matter how you say it, it's too late. I'm already 86. There are not many old buddies around me. They all come to my place once in a while. Ah, your body is getting worse day by day. This is the time for you young people, you must work hard in the future and serve the country."

"Don't worry, Grandpa, although there is no war now, we will all work hard to reimburse our motherland well."

Liu Xing smiled, and took the dish that Su Xiaomei had just cooked.

Su Xiaomei smiled at the old man and said.

"Grandpa Chang, eat first, don't wait for me, I'll be here soon."

"Don't worry, don't worry, let's eat some cold dishes and drink some wine first, don't worry girl."

"Okay, I'm going to cook first."

Seeing Su Xiaomei leave, the old man said to Liu Xing.

"Ah Xing, are you dating?"

"Forehead……"

Liu Xing was taken aback after hearing this, then nodded and said.

"It's in love now, grandpa."

The old man nodded after listening, and continued.

"I think Xiaomei is a really nice girl, she must be nice to her, you know?"

"Well, you know...huh?"

Liu Xing looked at the old man in a daze, and hurriedly explained.

"Grandpa, you misunderstood, Xiaomei and I are good friends, there is nothing between us..."

After hearing this, the old man nodded slowly and said.

"Well, it seems that I misunderstood."

Liu Xing smiled, looked around, and asked tentatively.

"Grandpa, you... just live alone?"

After hearing this, the old man looked at Liu Xing and said with a smile.

"Yes, I'm really lonely now, hehe, now it's just those old guys who come to see me occasionally."

After hearing this, Liu Xing felt a little uncomfortable. He is an 86-year-old man with no children around him, and no one to take care of him....

The old man looked at Liu Xing, knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile.

"Ah Xing, you don't have to worry about me. Although I am a bit older, my body is still very good. Don't worry, I am doing well."

Liu Xing nodded, hesitated for a moment, and asked again.

"Grandpa, why aren't you married?"

After the old man heard this, his expression darkened a little, and he shook his head and smiled wryly.

"It's not that grandpa didn't get married. Your grandma was also a soldier back then. Although she survived the battle, she left early because of the sequelae of a serious injury. Your grandma is a good comrade, and he has done a lot. Contribution. So, I don't want to marry again, just live alone. After two years, I will be almost done. At that time, I will go down to accompany your grandma."

"This……"

Liu Xing and Jin Hu looked at each other, but neither spoke.

The old man patted Liu Xing and Jin Hu on the shoulders and said with a smile.

"It's okay, that's right, this normal life is a bit boring. I'm not very good at communicating with others, so I don't have many friends. But it's okay, I'm used to it, and I've been here for so many years, it's okay Big deal."

"Grandpa, what do you live on now?"

The old man smiled and said.

"Don't worry about this. How could the country forget me? The country gives me money every month, enough for me to eat and drink."

Liu Xing nodded. In this case, he feels better, after all, these old heroes are managed by someone.

"A Xing, it's not just me. Many of my old brothers are like this. Many people have no children. Although they don't have to worry about eating and drinking now, they are relatively lonely. When people get old, they don't have anything to do. It doesn't matter, I just like to be lively. So, today I see that you children are all good, no, I also want you to come and accompany me. "

"Don't worry, grandpa. As long as we are not busy, we will come to accompany you in the future. Grandpa, I want to ask, are there many old heroes like you in this situation?"

The old man nodded and said.

"A lot, because a lot of people died in the war, and it is very difficult for our family members to survive, so... there are at least ten or eight old brothers like me."

Liu Xing frowned after hearing this, thought for a while, and said.

"Grandpa, haven't you thought about finding a place to live together? Or, have you ever thought about going to a nursing home? Although it's a bit restrictive there, at least you won't be too lonely. There are people who will take care of you and accompany you."

The old man shook his head and said.

"I don't want to go to a nursing home. I have a home. Why do I go to a nursing home? We old buddies, we usually get together and play mahjong. I don't ask for anything else. Not a few years to live."

Liu Xing frowned after hearing this, and said softly.

"Grandpa, don't say that, you are all old birthday stars, and the days to come will still be long."

After chatting for a few more words, Su Xiaomei's dishes are also ready.

The four of them started to eat and stayed with the old man just to listen to his babbling.

After all, I have lived by myself for so many years, and I usually have no one to accompany me when I want to talk.

Liu Xing thinks this is good, but he always thinks that such an old hero should not be alone all his life. He wants to let others know that there are such old heroes by our side.

Let others know that the current life was bought by the old heroes with their lives.
