Chapter 708

As soon as Lao he said this, the table became quiet.

Zhao Xin stared at Lao he and Qin Fei with startled eyes.

For a long time, Zhao Xin suddenly laughed loudly: "Lao he, you're kidding internationally!"

He pointed to Qin Fei.

"He's almost the same age as me. I'm a first-class sergeant and retired. He's estimated to be in his twenties. How can it be!?"

No wonder Zhao Xin was surprised.

This is an era of peace. Where did the war come from? If it's the armed police, there may be some counter-terrorism missions, but the army? That's impossible.

The edge in Lao he's eyes suddenly subsided and became turbid again.

"Ah... Maybe I guessed wrong. Come on, eat vegetables. Today, it's rare to meet you two veterans here for dinner. I'll treat you to this meal. It's so late and there's no business. Let's have a good drink. It's regarded as a chat between recruits and veterans. I haven't talked with my comrades in arms for a long time."

Qin Fei knew from the bottom of his heart that he could see through without telling.

Maybe he also guessed that Qin Fei was not an ordinary soldier. As a veteran, he was sensitive to some extent. Maybe he guessed Qin Fei's special identity and knew that he couldn't say it.

"No, no, no, I'll treat you to this meal." Qin Fei said with a smile, "there's no reason for veterans to invite recruits."

Lao he thought for a while and didn't insist. The three picked up their glasses and touched them heavily.

"Cheers, why?"

"For..." Zhao Xin tilted his head and thought, "for that green time!"

Lao he thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "for those... For those soldiers who sleep on the battlefield for the Republic."

"For sacrifice." Qin Fei nodded.

After drinking the wine, Qin Fei took a bite of food and asked, "what army were you in?"

"What's the matter? He's a meritorious man!" Zhao Xin, who was on the other side, said first: "he fought a war in southern Xinjiang. In 1984, he was the third-class meritorious man in the first batch of troops fighting in two mountains."

Then he looked at Lao he's legs.

"His leg was the injury he sustained at that time."

"Don't blow to me." old he Bai glanced at Zhao Xin, but he still liked Zhao Xin.

Turning to Qin Fei, he said: "I was a member of the second company of the first battalion of the 119 regiment in the year of 84. I was wounded in the battle of zheyin mountain and was sent back for treatment. After I recovered, I retired. Later, I arranged to join a state-owned enterprise in my hometown. Unexpectedly, I was laid off at the end of the 1990s and worked all the time. After her mother died two years ago, I came to the city where her university is located and opened a small restaurant Stay close to the child for easy care. "

Lao he said it lightly, as if he had taken decades of years, but Qin Fei still smelled the vicissitudes and difficulties.

For a disabled hero, there seems to be no equal between giving and receiving.

The bottom of his heart trembled slightly.

"Lao he, I want to ask one thing..." Qin Fei picked up his glass. "Before asking, I'll give you a toast, because you're a hero."

Lao he picked up the cup and drank it with Qin Fei.

"What hero..." old he shook his head and said, "I'm not a hero. Those comrades in arms who lie in Malipo cemetery are heroes. What am I compared with them?"

Qin Fei nodded silently and said, "do you regret it?"

"What regret? Why?" Lao he looked at Qin Fei: "Maybe some people think I'm not worth it. Just like in this peaceful era, many young people think that being a soldier is a fool. They don't have the plot of worshipping soldiers in those days. They think it's a waste of time. It's not worth it. If they have time to be a soldier and defend the country, they'd better do business and make money. There's no need to work for the country. They think it's a 'smart' approach But they ignored one thing. "

"What point?"

"Do you remember the song sung in the army?" he asked.

"Which one?"

"Say something from your heart." Lao he said and sang softly.

……

Say the truth

I miss home, too,

The old mother at home is full of white hair

Say the truth

I also have love

I often miss her in my dream

Come on, since you're a soldier

Come and know the responsibility

You don't carry a gun. I don't carry a gun

Who will defend our mother? Who will defend her

Who will defend her——

As soon as Lao he sang, Zhao Xin and Qin Fei couldn't help singing gently.

Xiaoyan looked at her father at the cash register. Her face was filled with a rare smell of youth. The whole person was more than 20 years younger. It seemed that this simple song made her father return to the green years and military years.

She smiled, turned to the computer behind her, chose the song and played it.

The whole restaurant is filled with familiar melodies. Qin Fei's heart seems to float away with the song and return to those hot years.

"Brother, only a country can have a home!" Lao he patted Qin Fei on the shoulder, "If there were no 'Fools' who rushed forward one after another and the sacrifice and struggle of those 40000 compatriots when little Japan came over, if the country was really subjugated, would we be better off under the rule of others? Would others treat us Chinese as people? I went to war as a soldier, not for promotion and wealth. In a big way, I was for the country and for the people In order to defend my own stable life, I still want my own home. "

"Lao he, are you ok now?" Qin Fei asked.

Lao he said, "it's OK. The business of the small restaurant is OK..."

"Everything is good, just those bastards!" Zhao Xin glanced at the door of the private room, "it would be better without these scum!"

"There are no bad guys?" old he smiled. "Strictly speaking, these people are not bad guys, just a few bastards who take advantage."

"Hum!" Zhao Xin said angrily, "you owe more than 10000 yuan for meals. You're running a small business!"

Just then, the door of the private room opened, and seven or eight security guards came out with toothpicks and wine.

"Today's bill will be put on the account of the village first and settled together at that time!" the leader shouted carelessly.

"Captain Liu, you can't sign the bill anymore. You have to settle it today. You've eaten more than 800 meals and the village's account of 18000 hasn't been settled yet..." Xiaoyan stopped the captain. "You must settle the bill on the spot today."

"What's the matter? Despise people?" Captain Liu said with a mouthful of wine: "who said we didn't pay the bill? It's more convenient to settle the bill together! Didn't we settle the bill last year? Why are you stingy? This is the territory of our village. You're doing business here. You can do it without our care?"

Lao he stood up and walked to the security captain.

"Team Liu, if I can hang up, I'll let you hang up. I operate on a small cost. I'll have a bad turnover if I delay too much."

"Yi?" the ox eyes of team Liu stared and said, "Lao he, you don't want to be ashamed, do you?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Don't be ashamed! What's the matter?" Zhao Xin slapped his chopsticks, knocked them heavily on the table, got up and went to Lao he, looked at several security team members: "thanks to you or what security team, you also have the face to do such a thing? Do you know, Lao he is a hero who has fought in the war. When he fought hard against monkeys in southern Xinjiang in, you haven't been born yet. What are you pulling
