Chapter 135: The Respectable Old Man

"Damn! Isn't this the legendary military compound?" Fangyuan muttered to himself.

During the previous period, although Fangyuan ran to compounds every day, he only went to local compounds and had never been to military compounds.

It’s not that Fangyuan doesn’t want to go, but it’s useless if you go. Soldiers don’t have much money.

In this era, when it comes to hardship, if farmers rank first, then soldiers definitely rank second.

It can be said that those who endure hardships and hardships are all soldiers, and soldiers in this era are the most upright.

The reason why Fangyuan didn't come to the army compound was because it was impossible to exchange anything here.

Even if he could get it, Fangyuan wouldn't do it, because what he got in exchange would probably be someone's one-month ration.

With Fangyuan's feelings towards the soldiers, how could he do such a thing? As for those local compounds, it's different.

Those people have plenty of ways, and there is no way they are short of those things. Fangyuan is just using some for them.

In his previous life, there was an old man in Fangyuan's village who was a soldier when he was young. Once his wife took her children to visit him in the army.

It was probably around this era. Of course, he was not a soldier in the imperial capital.

In order not to cause trouble for the troops, which old man would not take his wife and children to the guest house, but spent his own money to stay in a hotel.

But there were too many children. In order to save a room, the old man stood outside all night.

Of course, the old man was still young at the time, but it can also be seen from here how poor the soldiers of this era were.

In fact, in her previous life, Fangyuan always wanted to be a soldier. She applied for the military academy during the college entrance examination, but unfortunately she didn't get into it. This is also a pity.

Just when Fangyuan was staring blankly at the big five-pointed star, he heard someone shouting something and turned his head to take a look.

It turned out to be an old woman standing under the compound wall waving to him.

"Comrade, can you do me a favor?"

The old woman is probably in her sixties or seventies, with a slight hunchback. She is dressed in olive green like Fangyuan.

Fangyuan quickly ran over and asked: "Grandma, is there anything I can do for you?"

The old lady smiled awkwardly and said, "Can you help me throw this half bag of stuff in from the wall?"

The old lady pointed to a white cloth bag on the ground.

Fangyuan took a look and saw that the bag was not very big and there were not many things. But when Fangyuan looked at the wall again, he was immediately discouraged.

"Grandma, this wall is too high, we can't get over it at all."

After finishing speaking, Fangyuan went over to lift the bag. It was not heavy, probably only a dozen kilograms, but the wall of the army compound was not the wall of the woolen mill.

The wall here is at least one meter higher than the wall in the woolen mill compound. Don’t underestimate this meter, it’s one meter higher.

"What I'm saying is, I pushed you against the wall, and then I handed you the bag, and you threw it over."

"Oh! That's it!"

Fangyuan glanced at the old lady, then at the wall and said, "I'm afraid not, the wall is too high, even if you push me, there is no way to climb up."

Fangyuan is right. The old lady is only over 1.5 meters tall, not even 1.6 meters tall. Of course, this may also be because of her age.

The radius is only over 1.1 meters, not even 1.2 meters. Even if the old lady stretches her hand completely, and given her height, she can't reach the top of the wall.

Hearing what Fangyuan said, the old lady looked up, looked at Fangyuan again, and said, "Forget it, I'll think of another way."

"Grandma, why don't you just go in? It's not far from the gate." Fang Yuan pointed to the gate.

Fangyuan's words made the old lady blush. She glanced towards the door and said, "For no reason, just go."

The moment the old man blushed, Fangyuan seemed to understand something. It was estimated that the old woman's rations at home were not enough, so she tried to get some from outside.

But I'm also afraid that others will see it. This doesn't mean that I can't do it. I guess it's because the old lady wants to save face and doesn't want others to know.

After understanding what was going on, Fangyuan rolled her eyes and said, "Grandma, let me take it in for you!"

"Ah! Can you help me get it?" the old lady looked at Fang Yuan and asked.

"Yes, you go in first, or you wait outside for a while, and I will bring your things in for you. You can go in later."

The old lady glanced at Fangyuan and asked, "Are you a child in this compound?"

Fangyuan quickly shook her head and said, "No."

"Then how do you get in?"

Fangyuan smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, just like this! You stay here for a while, I will help you take it in, and you can go in after you see me go in."

The old lady asked doubtfully: "Is this okay?"

"Don't worry! It will definitely work."

The old lady never thought that Fangyuan would lie to her, mainly because Fangyuan was too young and should not be able to lie to others.

"Okay! You try it, if it doesn't work, forget it."

"Yeah!" Fang Yuan nodded, then picked up the bag, carried it on his back, and walked directly to the door.

When she reached the gate, Fangyuan didn't even hesitate and walked straight in.

The two doormen carrying guns at the door glanced at Fangyuan and let Fangyuan in without even asking a question.

In fact, the reason why Fangyuan was able to get in was, firstly, because he was young, and secondly, the olive green he was wearing was a real military uniform.

It's not the imitation outside, which shows that the three guys that Fangyuan took care of at the beginning were really children from the military compound.

Being young is not useless! At least it won’t make people defensive.

Seeing Fangyuan actually go in, the old lady watching from outside was surprised, and then she quickly followed.

Fangyuan didn't go far after entering. Instead, he slowed down. There was nothing he could do! He didn't know where the old lady lived.

Although the old woman was older, she walked very fast and almost caught up with Fangyuan in a short time.

This is inside the compound, not to mention people coming and going, but people passing by from time to time. When the old lady was almost walking with Fangyuan, she said: "My child, I want to trouble you to help me take her home."

"It's okay, grandma, you go ahead and I'll follow you."

"Okay."

Then the old lady strode away, and Fangyuan followed her leisurely. Others would never be able to tell that the old lady was with him.

After turning a few corners, the old lady stopped in front of a small courtyard.

The door to the courtyard was open, and the old lady went in. Then Fangyuan saw a young woman coming out of the house.

The young woman ran to the old lady and said, "You are back, the chief is losing his temper."

The old lady patted the young woman on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I'll go in and take a look. There is a child coming outside. You say hello first."

"Oh! Okay."

It turns out that this young woman is a service staff. The service staff is not a nanny, but a staff member responsible for taking care of the chief.

"How many times have I told you not to go out to get food? Why don't you listen?"

As soon as Fangyuan walked to the door, she heard the roar of an old man.

And listening to the voice, the old man's voice is very loud, making people feel full of energy.

"What will you do if I don't get food? Your body is like this now, can you survive if I don't get food?" The old woman's voice came from the house.

"I have fought hundreds of battles, big and small, and crawled out from among the dead. The wounds on my body can be connected three times around the house. This little problem can kill me... cough cough cough

!"

The old man started coughing as soon as he finished speaking, and then heard the old lady say: "Look, you are excited again."

The old man took a rest, stopped coughing and said again: "I tell you, you are not allowed to go out to get food again, I will not starve to death."

"I neither steal nor rob. I use my own wages to buy food. Why not?"

"No reason, it won't work anyway, unless I die." The old man's voice sounded again.

"You..." The old lady said one word and didn't say any more.

Because she saw the staff leading Fangyuan in.

Seeing Fangyuan come in, the old lady showed a smile on her face, and then walked over.

"Thank you, kid, take this." The old lady took out two cents from her pocket and handed it to Fangyuan.

"Grandma, I can't have this, please put it away."

Don't say two cents, even if you give him twenty, or even two hundred, he won't blink an eye, or even think about it.

"Child, be obedient and take it." The old lady put the two cents into Fangyuan's hand.

Now Fangyuan is empty-handed, and the food he is carrying has been taken over by the service staff.

Fangyuan quickly put the money into the old lady's hand and said: "Grandma, I really can't take this money, so let's do this! I'll drink a glass of water."

"This..." The old grandma was a little embarrassed. The child helped her carry it so far, so she just drank a glass of water, which made her feel uncomfortable.

"This child is..."

A strong-looking old man appeared in front of Fangyuan. He was sitting with his back to Fangyuan just now, so Fangyuan didn't see what he looked like.

Now stand in front of Fangyuan and let Fangyuan see his appearance clearly.

He is in his sixties, about 1.7 meters tall, and has a Chinese-character face. Except for his abnormally pale complexion, it makes people feel that he is very energetic.

This was the first impression the old man had on Fangyuan.

When the old man asked, the old woman quickly said: "This is a child I met outside the compound. He helped me carry the food back."

The old man looked at Fangyuan, especially when he saw the olive green he was wearing, and then asked: "Which compound are you from?"

"Grandpa, I don't live in a compound, I live in a home for the families of woolen mill workers."

Regardless of whether it is in the past life or this life, there is no problem for Fangyuan to call him grandpa.

Even though he was forty years old in his previous life, he was already a grandfather before he was born in his previous life.

"Home for the families of woolen mill workers? Are you the child of a woolen mill worker's family?"

PS: I really asked for a monthly vote, and I will be overtaken by others soon. I will not issue single stamps in these two days, and there are so few monthly votes. I urge all family members to vote for a monthly vote, thank you!
