The three of them sat down in the standard room of the hotel. Shi Shisi looked around. It was almost exactly the same as a small hotel in a country hotel. The decoration seemed to be old, and the walls were already mottled.

"Hard work and simplicity have always been the style of our soldiers. Apart from other things, this alone must be a great person." Shi Shisi thought to himself.

"This old gentleman's surname is Man. When he woke up, he was already over sixty years old and about to retire." Yu Yong introduced the old man's situation, "At that time, he was still farming in the countryside, although he was not a very poor person.

It's a mountainous area, but it really can't be compared with city life. He just came to Yihai City in the past two days and is quite uncomfortable, so I can only arrange to live in the suburbs. Even so, he always has to go out to collect some herbs, dig some wild vegetables and so on.

of......"

After hearing this, Shi Shishi could understand this Uncle Man very well. When he was in the army, he often heard about many old Red Army soldiers. The old soldiers were idle and could not stay at home. But they really hired retired cadres with better conditions in the city for him.

He couldn't get used to being in a nursing home.

"Old Yu, don't tell me, this kind of idyllic life is what many people in the city yearn for!" Wang Mu said.

"Oh, many times! People long for things they can't get. This is an eternal law." Yu Yong sighed.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." At this time, a loud voice came from outside the door.

"It's the old gentleman here!" Yu Yong quickly stood up and went out to greet him. Shi Shishi and Wang Mu also quickly followed.

Shi Shishi walked outside the hotel door and saw an old country man in simple clothes in the courtyard, holding a basket in his hand and greeting Yu Yong. The basket was filled with all kinds of wild vegetables.

"Who are these two?" The old man also saw Shi Shishi and others.

"Uncle Man, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Wang from Yihai City whom I mentioned to you before. The other one is Shi Shishi, Mr. Shi, who will serve as your escort this time."

"Uncle Man, it's our first time meeting you. Nice to meet you!" Shi Shishi extended his hand enthusiastically.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Man didn't pay attention to Shi Shishi. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at Shi Shishi's shoes and asked, "Are your boots military boots?"

"Uncle, you have good eyesight." Shi Shishi smiled and said, "These are training boots issued by the army. After wearing them for so many years, these still fit the best!"

"Can you take it off and show me?" Uncle Man suddenly said.

Shi Shishi was slightly embarrassed, but seeing Uncle Man's serious expression, he was too embarrassed to refuse. "Uncle, don't dislike my taste!" Shi Shishi said and took off his boots.

.

Uncle Man picked up the shoes, looked at them from left to right and couldn't put them down. "If I had these boots when I was walking on the grass, I wouldn't have to worry about grinding my feet!" Uncle Man said with a smile, "I also had a pair like this at that time.

Where are the American leather boots seized by the Kuomintang! What a pity..."

"What's the pity?" Shi Shishi asked.

"It's a pity that it was blown to pieces at that time, and I don't know where the boots went." Uncle Man said with a smile.

Uncle Man seemed very free and easy when he spoke, but it sounded awe-inspiring to Shi Shisi. Although the people present were all world-walkers, and even Shi Shisi had experienced nine lives, they did not

Uncle Man is so open-minded.

"Uncle Man, are you putting wild vegetables in your basket?" Shi Shishi asked.

"Comrade, do you also know about wild vegetables?" Uncle Man's eyes suddenly glowed.

"Of course, during the army's field survival training, you are not allowed to bring too much dry food. Many times you can only make a living by digging wild vegetables!" Shi Shishi explained.

"I see, little comrade, come and see what wild vegetables are in my basket?" Uncle Man smiled and handed the basket to Shi Shishi.

"This must be plantain! Not only can it satisfy hunger, but it was used by ancient armies to relieve hematuria. It can also be a diuretic and clear away heat, so it can be regarded as a medicinal herb."

"This plant should be 'Mother-in-law Ding'! It's actually a dandelion. Northerners like to eat this wild vegetable. It also has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying."

"There is also endive. Although it is a bit bitter, the leaves are thick and thick. At that time, we chewed it just like chewing meat..."

Shi Shisi spoke so clearly that Wang Mu and Yu Yong were stunned for a moment, while Uncle Man kept nodding his head. "We only ate them before, but we didn't know that these wild vegetables were so big."

Knowledge. Comrade, are you really awesome?"

"Where, where!" Shi Shisi was a little embarrassed. How could he know this? These were all plagiarized from Huang Fumi.

"Little comrade, which department are you in?" Uncle Man suddenly asked.

Shi Shisi stood up immediately, saluted Uncle Man and said, "Sir, I am from the reconnaissance company of the 16th Group Army of the former Southeast Military Region."

"Don't call me sir!" Uncle Man quickly waved his hand, "I died early, and my military rank was not enough at that time!"

"Uncle Man, which department are you in?" Shi Shishi asked curiously.

"Me?" When he said this, Uncle Man's face actually showed a little melancholy, "The number of my unit may have disappeared for a long, long time!"

"I'm sorry! Uncle Man!" Shi Shishi said.

"Little comrade, you don't need to take it to heart. There are some things I didn't know before, but now I think about it, I should just forget about some old things." Uncle Man said.

Wang Mu and Yu Yong were very happy when they saw Shi Shishi and Uncle Man falling in love with each other.

"Great, I didn't expect that this young man from your company would suit Uncle Man's taste." Yu Yong said with a smile, "You know, I have found several escorts for Uncle Man, but none of them satisfied Uncle Man.

.”

"There is no way, you have to know that the quality of our employees has always been the benchmark in the industry!" Wang Mu said proudly.

"The benchmark is the benchmark, but the quality of the boss seems to be holding it back."

"Old Yu, if you laugh at me again, I'm going to fall out!" Wang Mu said angrily.

"Old Wang, I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Don't take it seriously!" Yu Yong said quickly, "Don't worry, if this mission is successfully completed, the next time the regional company is rated, I will definitely help you with a lot of 'estrangement'

Extra points."

Seeing Shi Shishi and Uncle Man chatting happily, Yu Yong said: "Uncle Man, you should be satisfied this time!"

"Satisfied, satisfied!" Uncle Man said with a smile on his face, "Fourteen! I'm not familiar with the place here, so I'll have to help you this time."

"Uncle Man, you are too polite."

Then Wang Mu drove Shi Shishi and Uncle Man to the tourist distribution point in the center of Yihai City.

On the way, Shi Shisi curiously asked Uncle Man: "Uncle Man, isn't it good to be a member of the Dust Crossing Union? Why do you still hesitate to clear your memory?"

"How should I put it?" Uncle Man seemed a little hesitant, "I don't live in this era. Many people and things in the past are no longer here. I always feel that something is missing."

"But every one of us who are crossing the world feel this way! We can all accept it calmly, let alone you?" Shi Shishi replied.

"Maybe this is my own problem!" Uncle Man said, "But I haven't thought about it yet. I just want to see what the motherland I gave my life for back then is like."

"No problem, Brother Man is in a country you can't even imagine."

"Okay, you two, we have arrived at our destination." Wang Mu said with a smile. The jeep was already parked at the entrance of the tourist distribution point.

"Okay, thank you very much, Lao Wang!" Uncle Man thanked him and got out of the jeep excitedly. Although he was old, his skills were still strong.

Uncle Man raised his head and looked at the crowded scene in the distribution center. He couldn't help but sigh: "This is a city after all! It's just different. It's much more prosperous than our place."

Uncle Man looked left and right, and everything he saw felt very fresh.

"Old Wang, just go back. I'll take Uncle Man around for a walk." Shi Shishi said.

"Okay, if you need anything, remember to contact me." Wang Mu said and drove away.

"Uncle Man, where do you want to go first?" Shi Shishi asked.

"Is this it?" Uncle Man said sheepishly, "Actually, I don't know, Fourteen! It's all up to you."

"No problem, keep it with me." Shi Shisi said quickly.

Shi Shishi was born and raised in Yihai, so he was very familiar with the scenic spots here.

As an emerging city on the southeast coast, Yihai City lacks some heritage and historical heritage, but its modern attractions are more attractive to tourists at home and abroad.

In fact, Shi Shisi had already made a plan in his mind: "Cardini Paradise is not suitable for an elderly person like Uncle Man. The City God's Temple and the People's Museum are more suitable for him! But I'd better take Uncle Man for a tour first."

alright."

Shi Shishi said and took Uncle Man on the double-decker sightseeing bus at the tourist distribution center.

"Why is this bus a double-decker?" Uncle Man was also surprised, "There are even stairs."

"Country bumpkin!" After hearing what Uncle Man said, the two young men beside him couldn't help but say.

A sudden chill sent shivers down the spines of the two impolite guys. When they looked back, they saw Shi Shisi staring at them with knife-like eyes. "The last two seem scary!" The two of them turned gray.

He quickly ran up to the upper level.

Shi Shishi then turned his head and explained to Uncle Man in a friendly manner: "This is a sightseeing bus, specially used for tourists to visit the city. Uncle Man, let's go up and have a look first! The scenery above is better."

"Okay, okay!" Uncle Man didn't care too much about being offended just now. His eyes were full of excitement now.

After the two boarded the second floor of the bus, the car started. This sightseeing bus line was carefully designed by the Yihai Municipal Tourism Bureau and basically covers several major commercial districts in Yihai City.

The scenery along the way made Uncle Man very excited.

"Fourteen, what is that high tower? Why is it higher than the pagoda in our hometown!" Uncle Man asked.

"That's the Yihai TV Tower. It's used to transmit TV signals." Shi Shishi replied.

"Oh, this should be similar to the transmitter during the Anti-Japanese War! At that time, we could only rely on the radio to listen to the broadcasts from Yan'an. Unexpectedly, we can now watch the programs with our eyes. I have been watching them in the hotel these two days.

ah!"

"Almost, almost." Shi Shishi prevaricated.

"Actually, this telegraph is fundamentally different from a television signal..." Tesla in the Sea of ​​Spirits was about to start giving a lecture.
