"By the way, I have medicinal wine here, would you like a bag?"
Smith raised his eyebrows, "Is it pure?"
"Guaranteed authenticity."
"Well, you have to try it."
"I have to say, this magical medicinal wine is really good. Even the most enthusiastic beach beauties can't resist it."
Ford said meaningfully, and Smith quickly smiled and said, "I already tasted it when I was in Hong Kong last year."
"Really? Then this time I want to feel the boss's little girl..."
dong dong
Just when Smith and Ford were smiling like men, there was a sudden knock on the door. Ford walked aside and continued to fiddle with the wine bottle in his hand.
Smith opened the door, and there was a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses standing outside. When he saw Smith, the man took off his sunglasses, revealing a Chinese-character face.
"Mr. Smith!"
The visitor spoke American English. Smith nodded and did not let anyone into the room.
"Let me tell you some news."
"The person piloting the plane has been dealt with."
"As for the wreckage of the plane, the other party has transported it to Sijiu City. There is nothing we can do there for the time being."
After hearing this, the wrinkles on Smith's face eased slightly and he smiled, "This is good news."
After the man in sunglasses left, Smith returned to the house and said to Ford, "Dear Ford, can you make arrangements for tonight?"
"Of course, my dear Uncle Smith."
The next day, Yang Xiaotao asked Wu Zhe and others to stay in the guest house while he and Hao Pingchuan went to the hospital to check the situation.
I met Zheng Chaoyang and learned the patient’s name, Ding Weijia.
However, when the person saw him, it was difficult to talk. According to the doctor's expectations, it would take at least three days to recover.
In response, Yang Xiaotao went directly back to give Wu Zhe and the others two days off, while he went to Lao Jin's house with gifts.
When Lao Jin opened the door and saw Yang Xiaotao, he still couldn't believe it.
It wasn't until grandma heard the noise and came out and saw Yang Xiaotao that she stepped forward and pulled her into the house.
As soon as she sat down, grandma started looking for fruits, asked if she had eaten breakfast, and wanted to make something for Yang Xiaotao.
Comrade Lao Jin, on the other hand, was left alone.
"Why don't Qiuye and the others come? I dreamed about Yue Yue Rongrong all night..."
"Is it time to go to school during the Dragon Boat Festival? I also told your grandpa that I wanted to buy him a schoolbag."
"By the way, do you two want another child?"
When grandma was nagging, Yang Xiaotao didn't have the time to speak.
"Okay, okay, Xiaotao has just arrived. He must have a job. Stop nagging and hurry up and buy some food..."
Lao Jin was talking to the side, and Ms. Cui snorted coldly, "Why don't you go buy it."
"Grandma, we're staying tonight. We have time to chat."
Yang Xiaotao came out to smooth things over, and when he heard that he was going to stay, Ms. Cui immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask your aunt and the others to come over tonight."
As he said that, the person had already run out.
The grandfather and grandson were the only ones left in the room. Lao Jin sat aside, "Why did you come suddenly? Didn't you tell me in advance?"
Yang Xiaotao picked up the cup and took a sip of water, "We didn't even prepare for the temporary mission, so we just came."
"A very important task?"
"Yes, it's very important."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Lao Jin stopped asking any more questions.
"Just tell me if you need anything, don't be polite to me."
"Of course, if you need help, you won't be polite."
Then the two talked about work. Lao Jin asked about the engine, and Yang Xiaotao didn't hide it.
When Zhang Wu came back last time, he talked about this matter and said that the missile's engine came from the Red Star Machinery Factory. At that time, he suspected that Yang Xiaotao had made it.
Now that it was confirmed, Lao Jin was naturally overjoyed.
In the morning, I used my home phone to tell Ran Qiuye that she was safe, and by the way, I had to wait for a while before I could go back.
At noon, my aunt Jin Pingping came to the house.
In the evening, Zhang Wu, Zhang Kangzhan, Zhang Shengli and their families also came over. It was a lively gathering with everyone.
During this period, Zhang Kangzhan talked about the 401 War, but it made Yang Xiaotao's blood boil.
Several people also heard about the situation in Yang Xiaotao's machinery factory during this period.
Everyone can still understand what aircraft engines, gas turbines, and missile engines are.
What kind of tanks, what kind of medicines, what kind of bovine insulin can be studied, this not only exceeds the understanding of a few people, but also makes them feel the gap between the two sides.
Then Yang Xiaotao said that he was busy designing airplanes. Don't look at it now. Everyone's face was shocked.
Zhang Wu even vaguely mentioned whether it was possible to design an aircraft that could take off from a ship, which put Yang Xiaotao in a bit of a dilemma.
He has not yet touched upon that area.
At the very least, we have to wait for the system to be upgraded.
Yang Xiaotao stayed at Jin's house for two days. Most of this time was spent walking around with Ms. Cui, and then accompanying Comrade Jin to meet his "old brother", becoming what everyone called "other people's children".
On the third day, Hao Pingchuan drove to find Yang Xiaotao and said that he was awake.
Yang Xiaotao quickly said goodbye to Lao Jin and Ms. Cui.
The two also knew that Yang Xiaotao came with a mission this time. Although they were reluctant to give up, they still supported him.
After Yang Xiaotao left, Lao Jin suddenly said to Ms. Cui, "How about we go to Sijiu City and stay there for how many days?"
Ms. Cui nodded immediately, and then looked at Lao Jin, "You are not here to gain glory, are you?"
When Lao Jin was told what was on his mind, he was no longer there, but his face was calm, "Just say whether you want to go or not."
Ms. Cui snorted coldly, "Of course I will go."
"Okay, I'll get the tickets and the letter of introduction."
"Let's go early."
"good!"
At this moment, there was no disagreement between the two.
...
hospital, ward.
"Ding Weiguo, hello, I am Yang Xiaotao."
Yang Xiaotao looked at the middle-aged man lying half on the hospital bed. His face was no longer pale, but his expression was still ugly.
Hao Pingchuan and Zheng Chaoyang frowned on the side.
The other party had opened his eyes yesterday, but he was weak, so they did not ask.
I'm obviously in better condition today, but looking at the current situation, I'm still not cooperating.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Yang Xiaotao saw the other party like this, he knew that the next question would not go well, so he took the initiative to step aside, handed the space to Zheng Chaoyang and the others, and went out by himself
Go.
When I went out, I saw an old man sitting in a wheelchair in the garden not far away.
The man's face was a little pale and his body was thin, but his face looked familiar.
Yang Xiaotao walked closer.
"You are Comrade Yang Xiaotao, right?"
The old man had some difficulty speaking, and Yang Xiaotao was also curious that the other person actually knew his name, "Yes, who are you?"
Walking to the side and sitting down on the steps, Yang Xiaotao continued to look at the old man.
"I am Chaoyang's eldest brother."
"Oh, you are Brother Zheng Chaoshan, right?"
Yang Xiaotao immediately remembered who it was.
This person's experience is also legendary. In the early years, he fought to the death with the little devils, and later became one of the Taoyuan trio, and then changed his stance because of Zheng Chaoyang.
Later I heard that he was retaliated by the enemy and managed to save his life.
"Yes, yes."
Zheng Chaoshan smiled and nodded, then continued to bask in the sun.
"Sijiucheng, how's it going over there?"
After a long time, Zheng Chaoshan asked again. Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "The current Sijiu City is just like this garden."
"Thriving and prospering, one day at a time."
"Really? It seems that my choice is not wrong."
Zheng Chaoshan had a smile on his face, as bright as the sun in the sky.
"Can you help me?"
Zheng Chaoshan said to Yang Xiaotao and pointed to the road ahead.
Yang Xiaotao stood up immediately, "Where do you want to go?"
"Over there, push me in."
Zheng Chaoshan pointed to the place where Yang Xiaotao came out just now and said firmly.
Yang Xiaotao hesitated for a moment, and finally pushed him inside.
In the ward.
Hao Pingchuan clenched his fists, Bai Ling stared at Ding Weiguo's face, and Zheng Chaoyang spoke earnestly.
But Ding Weiguo did not waver at all.
"Did you think that person was found by us?"
"You really think highly of yourself. If we were looking for someone, we would have found someone long ago and we wouldn't have delayed it until now."
"besides..."
Zheng Chaoyang has already said everything he can think of.
He talked about his home, his future, what he should do...
But it was useless, Ding Weiguo was not moved at all.
He even showed a look of contempt, which made Hao Pingchuan on the side even more annoyed.
Bang bang
With a knock on the door, Yang Xiaotao pushed Zheng Chaoshan in.
"Brother!"
Zheng Chaoyang stepped forward suddenly, but Zheng Chaoshan waved his hand.
"Let me come and talk to him."
Zheng Chaoyang frowned, but Zheng Chaoshan let Yang Xiaotao push him forward.
The room was quiet.
Ding Weiguo looked at the wheelchair man in front of him in surprise and was a little at a loss.
"My name is Zheng Chaoshan. Like you, I used to be passionate about protecting my family and my country."
"I was originally a lurking personnel."
"later...."
Zheng Chaoshan didn't care whether the other party understood or not, he just talked to himself.
Yang Xiaotao, Zheng Chaoyang and others listened quietly.
"Later, I figured it out."
"We have different opinions, to put it bluntly, between brothers."
"But if anyone opens the door and lets the jackal in, that's not what a brother should do."
"Back then, we were able to fight for our country, fall down one by one, and rush forward one by one."
"But now, we have become the most hateful people in the past."
When Zheng Chaoshan said this, Ding Weiguo's mouth trembled and his eyes closed on the hospital bed.
"I made the choice I felt was right."
"And now, looking at the changes around here, it proves that I was right."
"You are from Lin'an, right? You can go back and see if there are any people dying of hunger there now."
After saying these words, Yang Xiaotao saw Ding Weiguo's hands trembling.
Obviously, the word home is always the softest place in people's hearts.
"My choice also paid a price."
"As you can see, they took revenge on me, injected me with drugs, tortured me, and made me suffer."
"but..."
Zheng Chaoshan suddenly laughed, "But I survived. How many times have I wanted someone to help me free myself."
"But I still got through it."
"Because I want to see what this world will be like."
After saying that, Zheng Chaoshan patted the wheelchair, and Yang Xiaotao reacted and pushed it out.
"etc."
Just as the two were about to leave the room, Ding Weiguo suddenly spoke with a hoarse voice and stared at Zheng Chaoshan who turned around.
"Have you ever regretted it?"
"Regret? Why regret it?"
Zheng Chaoshan smiled, "This is my home."
"Do you still regret staying at home?"
After saying that, the two left the house.
Zheng Chaoyang and the other three stood aside without disturbing.
Ding Weiguo suddenly laughed, then smiled, tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Defend the country, defend the country, haha, hahaha."
“The country is not like the family, and the family is not like the country.”
"What's the point of defending the country?"
The three people in the room, Zhang Chaoyang, looked at each other in confusion. They did not expect that Zheng Chaoshan's ordinary words could have such an effect.
It actually touched this man's heart.
After a long time, Ding Weiguo calmed down and looked out the window.
That direction is where he has lived for nearly twenty years.
"From now on, there will be no such person as Ding Weiguo in this world."
