Chapter 2406: Keep Your Word 2

"Slow down, slow down, isn't the water hot? Grandpa is not in a hurry, he is not thirsty."

His son died early and is gone. He has not even married a wife to give him a grandson or granddaughter.

Except for his son who died, his other brothers and sisters all have their own homes. After his son died, the old man thought that it would be his turn to live in the bridge cave in his later years. Who would have thought that he would still be able to enjoy this blessing today.

Thinking of his brothers and sisters who no longer have much contact with him and are afraid that he will drag them down, the old man said that the lives of those brothers and sisters who have children and daughters in their later years may not be as good as he is now.

I especially remember that he had no one to take care of him. For the sake of his being a martyr's family, the government went to find his other relatives to take care of him. What those people's faces looked like when they rejected him: "I've advised you a long time ago. Bingzi is such a good boy. When he was here, he had a filial temper. We have already said that there is nothing good about being a soldier. It is not much money and it is dangerous. You see, Bingzi never came back. Not even a child is left, only you are left. If you had listened to us earlier and not let soldiers go to work, would you be like this today? Son, I think you made a mistake when you named the soldier, which was unlucky."

When he thought of those words, the old man felt aggrieved.

What's wrong with being a soldier? It's not going to be good anywhere.

If no one had to serve as soldiers, would the country be what it is today, and would everyone be able to live in peace and harmony now? Do you think he just wants to send soldiers to serve as soldiers? When Bingzi was in school, his grades were so good. During the college entrance examination, those with good grades could take a book. But he had no money. Bingzi's mother was in poor health, and the family's money had already been spent on treating Bingzi's mother.

The family has no money, so he wants to borrow money. He wants his son to become a college student so that he can find a better job after graduation. When he earns money, he can pay back the debt.

Who would have thought that none of those relatives would be willing to help Bingzi because of their poor living conditions, and they even introduced Bingzi to work and told him not to continue studying. What are those jobs? That's the dishwasher.

It's not that the old man looked down on the dishwashers, he felt that his son had good grades and a smart mind. What's more, the person who opened the shop was his son's biological aunt. If he doesn't want to borrow money, just give him such a low salary to his nephew who can go to a major university and wash dishes for himself. The old man doesn't want his biological sister to abuse his excellent son like this. If I really take this job, I'm afraid it will be difficult for all my relatives to do so in the future.

On this point, the old man is definitely not confused.

In the end, it was Bingzi who decided to become a soldier. He felt that his name was Bingzihe and he should become a soldier. Otherwise, he would be sorry for the name his father gave him.

The loss of his son is a pain that cannot be recalled for the old man. But those relatives still said such unpleasant and unpleasant things. Even if his relatives were willing to take care of him under pressure, the old man refused.

The elderly were all prepared to sleep in the bridge cave, but unexpectedly, they were taken to the nursing home by a beautiful girl. Since then, someone has taken care of the old man, and he has been well fed and clothed. Compared with his previous life, after moving in, his life was really nothing to say.

Later, the elderly people learned that most of the elderly people living there were in the same situation as themselves, and this nursing home was specially built for elderly people like them. Living in the new room, lying on the bed, covered with quilts, looking at the snow-white ceiling, the old man cried on the first night.

Who said it was a wrong decision for him to send his soldiers to serve as soldiers. Who said that if the soldier died, he deserved to die without a son to support him? Who said that a soldier sacrificing himself for the country is a stupid act. Who said that the country and the people have forgotten the contributions and lives of his soldiers to them?

No, not at all.

Remember, there are still people who remember!

The old man felt that the care he received without asking for anything in return was an affirmation and commemoration of his son's sacrifice and contribution to the country and the people. It was the right decision for him to agree to his son joining the army. What his relatives said was all lies and farts.

The nursing staff in the nursing home are very caring and have good attitudes. What makes the old man happy is that from time to time some college students who do volunteer work will come to the nursing home. What those college students like most is to listen to them and the old people talk about the life events of their sacrificed children. Every time he saw the eyes of these college students admiring his son, the old man felt particularly comforted and proud.

His son is a hero, even if he paid the price with his life. If there was a next life, he believed that he would still make such a decision and let his son follow the same path.

The old man feels that his life in his later years is getting better and better and more enjoyable. As long as he thinks that all this is thanks to his son, and that the country and the people have not forgotten his son, the old man smiles every day. Knowing that his current life was really brought to him by Qiao Nan, and the three children belonged to Qiao Nan's family, the old man looked at San Bao no differently than he looked at his own grandson and granddaughter.

"Drink." Sanbao brought the water to the old man: "Grandpa, drink water, drink more water, that's good."

This sentence is what Qiao Nan often says to her three children. The original words are: Drinking more water is good for your health.

The three children are just learning to speak. After they understand the meaning of adults' words more and more, their favorite thing is to imitate what adults say and do. When they were at home, the three children were under the control of Qiao Nan. After they came out, Sanbao straightened her short and fat waist and said that drinking water is good, and these grandparents must listen to her.

"Okay, grandpa, drink water. You will be in good health." The old man took the cup from Sanbao's hand with great pride and took a sip. It was as if he was drinking honey water: "Ah, why is the water poured by Sanbao so good? Drink, it’s so sweet. Sanbao, did you put sugar in the water?”

Sanbao knew that grandpa was praising her, so she grinned, revealing a row of neat and white millet teeth. She smiled so cutely, her red face was like an apple, and her bright smile was like the sun. flower.

The old man felt hot after looking at it. In the end, he just stretched out his hand and touched the small knot on Sanbao's head: "Sambo, can grandpa buy you flowers from now on?"

Sanbao nodded his head obediently, smiled with his small mouth, and said nothing.
