Chapter 694 Qin Feng: Salute to Chief Zhao!

"Come on, put on your military uniform, put on your military uniform and let me see it!"

In the main room, Grandpa Zhao Haiguo pulled Zhao Pengfei and asked him to change into his military uniform quickly.

Every time Zhao Pengfei comes back, his grandfather would make this request.

For no other reason than to see the military uniforms issued by the army.

As an old Red Army soldier, he witnessed the motherland's rise from dire straits to prosperity and strength step by step.

The repeated improvements and changes in military uniforms also reflect the changes of the times and the changes in the troops.

Soon, Zhao Pengfei changed into a desert camouflage military uniform and appeared in front of his grandfather, which made Zhao Haiguo look surprised.

"What's going on? When I came back two years ago, wasn't the uniform still green? How come it's changed to khaki?"

"Master, we've changed our guard. The area we're stationed in now is mostly desert loess, so our uniforms have been changed to desert camouflage."

Zhao Pengfei explained, "However, we also have the original jungle camouflage. Different combat environments require different styles of uniforms to facilitate combat."

Zhao Haiguo touched the fabric of his clothes vigorously with his hands and couldn't help but sigh: "The development of this army is really different day by day. Different environments have different clothes?"

"So, if we're climbing a snowy mountain, do we need snowy mountain camouflage?"

Zhao Pengfei smiled and nodded. "We have special high-altitude cold-proof clothing, goggles, and non-slip combat boots. We have everything you need."

Zhao Haiguo slapped his thigh, so excited, and then he asked curiously: "By the way, didn't you call before to say that you were promoted to a military academy? Are you an officer now, or..."

"Yes, I am an officer. I am now the captain and company commander!"

Zhao Pengfei took out two pairs of captain's ranks from his pocket and stuck them on his collar.

When Zhao Haiguo saw that he had become a captain and company commander, he excitedly stood up from the rattan chair and grabbed Zhao Pengfei's shoulders.

"You, you've become a captain? Then you must be in charge of a hundred people, right?"

"Yes."

"He's made it big, Pengfei has made it big. It's all thanks to the blessing of our ancestors that our Zhao family finally has an official. Hahahaha!"

Zhao Haiguo laughed loudly, his big yellow teeth clearly visible. Then he turned his head and looked at the young men who came back with Zhao Pengfei in confusion.

"So the three of them are..."

"Old comrade, we are all Captain Zhao's soldiers!"

Before Zhao Pengfei could open his mouth to explain, Qin Feng spoke first.

Li Jiasheng and Qi Meng also reacted quickly and nodded in agreement.

"The three of us are all Captain Zhao's soldiers. We are here to escort the leader back to visit his family."

"Oh, oh, thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work, young comrades... Just wait a moment, I'll get something delicious to treat you!"

Zhao Haiguo happily ran into the bedroom and rummaged through the drawers and cabinets under the bed looking for something.

In the main room, Zhao Pengfei's old face turned red and he turned to look at Qin Feng.

"Qin Feng, you are my superior, why are you still..."

"Old squad leader, whether in the army or out in the world, you will always be my old squad leader. And we're doing this to please the old man. If he's happy, maybe he'll be willing to move to the city?"

As soon as Qin Feng finished speaking, Li Jiasheng and Qi Meng nodded together: "Old squad leader, when you are out in the world, you have to give yourself face. Except for Brother Feng, we are indeed your soldiers. We are not fooling the old man. This is called a white lie."

Zhao Pengfei really couldn't resist the three of them, so he could only let them lift him up high.

Although this was inappropriate, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw his grandfather was happy and proud of him.

Soon, Zhao Haiguo ran out with a few boxes of milk and a dusty box of biscuits.

After opening it, there were some candies, biscuits, and small breads inside.

It was around ten o'clock in the morning, and my uncle rode his bike to town to buy groceries.

It was not only because Zhao Pengfei came back suddenly, but also because there were guests at home.

So no matter what, let's put the old man's affairs aside for now and entertain the guests well.

"Come on, have some milk and eat something first. You must have had a hard time riding all the way back."

Everyone was not polite and started eating and drinking under Zhao Pengfei's warm invitation.

Qin Feng was eating a biscuit and felt that the taste was a bit strange.

Li Jiasheng drank the milk and also felt that the taste of the milk was a little off.

A few people took a look at the production date on the food packaging and almost spit out the food in their mouths.

The milk is one year past its expiration date, the biscuits are two years past their expiration date, and the bread is two and a half years past its expiration date!

"What's wrong? Why don't you eat?"

Zhao Haiguo went to the kitchen to pour water, and Zhao Pengfei looked at Qin Feng and others curiously.

Qin Feng pointed to the production date somewhat embarrassedly, and Zhao Pengfei realized that the food had expired long ago.

He was so embarrassed that he asked everyone to vomit out the food quickly, and then wait for his grandfather to come back and tell Zhao Haiguo about it.

Zhao Haiguo realized that the food was so expired, and his face was full of apology: "Oh, I'm sorry, everyone. I'm getting old, and my brain is not very sharp. I'll throw it away now."

I watched my grandfather carry a bunch of expired snacks and go outside to throw them away.

Zhao Pengfei also apologized to Li Jiasheng and others, saying that the old man was old and his memory was sometimes good and sometimes bad.

This is also the main reason why his uncle is worried about leaving him alone in the countryside. If he gets lost one day, there will be no way to find him.

But Qin Feng told him: "It's not that the old man has a bad memory, nor that he hid the delicious food for too long and it expired. It's that you came back too late."

Hearing this, Zhao Pengfei was shocked and his nose suddenly felt sore.

It's just that the item expired and you came back too late.

Yes, when I was a child, if there was anything delicious, my grandfather would always keep it in the cupboard or hide it in the biscuit box under the bed.

Whenever I feel hungry, I go to the cupboard and there are always all kinds of delicious food.

But as I get older, I come back less and less often, the biscuit box hidden under the bed is covered with dust, and the snacks inside are getting older and older.

Grandpa didn't know when he would come back, but he always remembered to leave the delicious food for Zhao Pengfei. What accumulated on the box was never dust, but the old man's little bit of longing.

Qin Feng's words were like a stone thrown into the water, causing ripples in the hearts of Li Jiasheng and Qi Meng.

Choosing the path of military service means being separated from your family for long periods of time and unable to reunite with them.

They had asked themselves this question countless times in the dead of night.

Is it really worth it to be so hard and tired, and be away from your loved ones?

With so many people in Yan Country, even if you don’t join the army, many people will continue to join the army?

But someone has to take on this responsibility, and someone has to sacrifice themselves to help others.

It's not because they are nobler than others, but simply because being a soldier means they have to shoulder this responsibility.

Just like, a chef has to work while others eat.

Cleaners have to get up early in the morning to work.

Junior and senior high school students study hard day and night.

Firefighters must go deep into the fire scene to carry out rescue operations.

Drug enforcement police must engage in a desperate battle with drug dealers, a battle of wits and courage.

Every profession is great, and every person who works hard deserves praise, it’s just that their shining points are slightly different.

At noon, after lunch, Zhao Haiguo put on new clothes that he usually didn't wear during festivals.

I washed my face, put on some face cream, and shaved.

Then he led Zhao Pengfei and Qin Feng out, saying that he wanted to take Zhao Pengfei to meet some elders...
