In the 1960s, my whole family was murdered by my enemies.

This is Ji Hong’s man Su An. When the boat arrived in H City, it was already dark. Su An strongly invited the two to stay at his home for one night, and then the next day, he personally took them to the military compound.

But the old man didn't agree and insisted on going to the guesthouse.

Su An insisted on paying the room fee.

"We just did it for the sake of convenience. You don't have to take it too seriously. Consider this room fee as a thank you. You can go back now."

The old man knew very well that the hardest debt to repay was the debt of favor.

If paying for the room would make them feel better, that would be fine, although he didn't mind the dollar.

Su An saw that although the old man was dressed much more simply than he was, had calluses on his hands, and the letter of introduction was from his wife's eldest sister's in-laws in the countryside, he did not speak like an ordinary working man at all.

Mr. Zhang always hunches his back slightly out of habit, as if he is deliberately restraining his temperament.

He knew in his heart that this was definitely not an ordinary old farmer, not to mention the fairy-like little girl next to him, who made him want to retrain his brat.

"Linlin, will you come to see me again?"

Before leaving, Su Qingchen stubbornly held Zhang Lin's hand.

Zhang Lin was helpless, "You will be back to the county town in a while, you can write to me."

Damn, she was kidnapped by the little brat’s cute and adorable face and she couldn’t refuse.

Besides, the little brat wouldn't let her refuse. Looking at his persistent eyes, he might not leave if she didn't agree.

The next day, just after dawn, there was a knock on the door.

"Linlin, come and eat the buns!"

Forget it, Su Qingchen is here again.

Zhang Lin resigned himself to his fate and got up. After putting on his clothes, he opened the door.

Su An and his son, as well as Zhang Changshun, who had just returned from buying breakfast, were all standing outside the door.

Under Su Qingchen's supervision and strong recommendation, she ate two big buns.

"This morning, Ji Hong suddenly received news that her father was seriously ill and asked her to go back to see him. I had no choice but to bring Xiao Qing with me."

There was worry between Su An's brows.

He and Ji Hong grew up in the same compound, and his father-in-law was a like-minded partner of his father. He was very worried when he heard that he was seriously ill, but he couldn't leave due to work reasons. Taking half a day off to accompany Zhang Lin and his grandson was already the limit.

"Good things will come to you, so don't worry too much."

Zhang Changshun gave one word of comfort and said nothing more. In this kind of situation, it is useless for outsiders to comfort him.

"Well, Ji Hong, go back and check the situation first, and then we'll make plans."

Su An insisted on sending them to the military compound despite Zhang Changshun's refusal.

After checking out after dinner, Su An took them to a car, and an hour and a half later, they arrived at the military compound.

The gate of the compound is quite simple, with guards standing guard next to it.

The examination was very strict. After confirming and verifying the purpose of Zhang Lin and his companion's visit and their letter of introduction, and checking Su An's ID, the guards of the compound let them pass and told them the location of Zhang Yaojun's home.

The compound is very large, and there are courtyards inside the compound. Those are where the leaders live. Outside, there are red brick bungalows and a few three-story brick buildings.

Zhang Yaojun lives in the row of bungalows in the northeast corner.

"Who are you looking for?"

As soon as I arrived at the bungalow, I was spotted by an auntie who was mending clothes in front of the door of the first room.

"I am Zhang Yaojun's father, and I am here to look for his family members."

Zhang Changshun nodded in greeting.

The aunt was startled and immediately stood up, put down her clothes and walked up.

"It turns out to be Captain Zhang's father, Uncle. Captain Zhang lives here."

"Captain Zhang's family has been packing up and preparing to vacate the house these past two days. It's a good thing you came now, otherwise we would have to look for him again..."

The aunt led them to the easternmost end.

Zhang Changshun frowned slightly when he heard this, "Vacate the room?"

The aunt shook her head: "It is said that jobs and dormitories have been arranged for Captain Zhang's family, and they are moving there."

From a distance, I could hear a noise coming from the other side of the bungalow.

Su An's identity made her more sensitive to quarrels, so she quickened her pace.

"Hey, this morning, someone from Captain Zhang's sister Han Hua's family came over. I heard that the pension has come down, and it's several thousand."

Zhang Changshun had already inquired about it, and found out that if a soldier died in the line of duty, he would receive a one-time pension of several dozen months' salary.

If you are recognized as a martyr, the reward will be doubled.

But the higher-ups knew very well that Zhang Yaojun did not die. Even if it was claimed that he died in the line of duty, there was no way to award him any honor. He was only awarded a second-class merit.

Together with the additional compensation issued by the government and other compensation to appease the family members, it is about two to three thousand.

The auntie didn't want to explain it too clearly, she just gave a few people a reminder.

Everyone has heard about what Captain Zhang's family is like.

"Thank you."

Zhang Changshun thanked the aunt and quickened his pace.

After the fifth brother got married, he went back to visit his family once and brought his wife with him. Although the old man was busy at home and had not met her, all the family members in his hometown had seen her.

Lao Wu’s wife is called Han Hua, and she is a native of H City.

The parents were both working, but there were two daughters and one son in the family. The parents favored boys over girls, and the two sisters worked like slaves for the three brothers at home. The eldest sister was married to a 30-year-old widower, and she was abused by her husband in the past. Her family didn't care and only cared about whether the eldest daughter subsidized her family.

It was only after Han Hua got married that Zhang Yaojun showed up a few times and the family stopped being so presumptuous, and Han Hua's eldest sister's life became a little better.

When they got married, they received a lot of dowry, and Tian used it to buy a temporary job for his eldest son before he agreed to marry his daughter.

Zhang Yaojun felt sorry for his wife and didn't want to see her in trouble. At that time, Zhang Changshun didn't say anything and let him make his own decision.

Han Hua finally married an officer, and her family was wary of her, so she lived a pretty good life in the past few years. Unexpectedly, when news of Zhang Yaojun's sacrifice came out, they began to get restless again.

When the Han family heard that a soldier’s death, especially in the line of duty, would receive a generous pension, they came immediately.

Seeing that the door was ajar, Su An and Zhang Changshun pushed it open with force. With a bang, the people who were arguing inside seemed to be strangled by the neck and stared at the door in silence with wide eyes.

Zhang Lin and Su Qingchen followed silently behind, tilting their heads to look at the situation in the room.

The aunt who led the way also kept looking around.

"Dad? Why are you here!"

Han Hua was stunned for a long time before he recognized Zhang Changshun.

She had been married for eight or nine years and had only visited her husband's hometown once. Because her child was still young, it was inconvenient to bring him along, so her memory of the old man's face was very vague.

But Zhang Yaojun looked the most like Zhang Changshun, so she looked at him carefully and finally recognized him.

When the Han family heard that it was the Zhang family, they glared and became a little fearful.

Especially Su An behind Zhang Changshun, who showed off his aura and suppressed old man Han so much that he instantly dared not to be arrogant.

"If I don't come, will you and your son still have a chance to survive?"

Zhang Changshun snorted coldly, without even looking at the Han family, he walked into the house and touched the heads of the two children who were crying with fear.

Zhang Guoping and Zhang Xiao stared at the old man in a daze.

"Xiaoping, Xiaoxiao, call me grandpa."

Han Hua felt a little embarrassed and a little excited.

Now that the old man is here, her parents can no longer ask for pension from his family.
