Siheyuan: He Yuzhu's rebirth in the 21st century

"Hmm? This look is indeed a medal of honor!"

Director Zhou put down his chopsticks and took the medal.

When he saw that it was polished to a bright shine, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Damn it! Who made the medal look like this? It's simply blasphemy!"

"Brother Zhou, I'm so sorry! I found it and it's like this. I don't know who ruined it like this!?"

He Yuzhu of course knew that it was the deaf old lady who did it.

But before we get solid evidence, we can't alert the enemy.

"I don't recognize it. I've never seen such a medal before!"

"Zhu Zi, show it to Lao Zhang. He claims to have eaten all over the country and traveled all over the Yellow River. He is well-informed and knows everything!"

Director Zhou looked at it for a long time but couldn't recognize it.

I had to ask Director Zhang for help.

"Hey~ Old Zhou, look at what you said! What do you mean by claiming to be one? I am one!"

Director Zhang also put down his chopsticks and took the medal of honor.

Unexpectedly, he discovered a problem as soon as he got the medal.

"wrong!"

"What's wrong!?"

"The medal is wrong! I don't think it was issued by our unit!"

Director Zhang weighed it in his hand, and then used both hands to bend it to test its hardness.

"There are two reasons. First, the shape of this medal is rather unique and not in the style of our army."

"Secondly, although the surface of the medal has been polished, judging from its material, it is most likely made of silver."

"In the early days, our army issued medals of honor, except for a few high-ranking ones that were made of gold and silver, the rest were mostly made of copper, iron and other materials."

(This information is not true and is fabricated by my brother~)

"Based on the above, I conclude that this medal was most likely awarded by the National Army!"

He Yuzhu couldn't help but give a thumbs up when he heard this.

"Brother Zhang is amazing! In fact, I also think that it is not issued by our army, otherwise it would not be easily discarded and damaged. It is totally unreasonable!"

"Oh! The main reason is that when I was in the army, I was responsible for reporting military merits for a period of time, so I am quite familiar with our army's military medals."

Director Zhang raised his eyebrows and said with a smug look on his face.

"Comrade Lao Zhang, you are well-informed. Stop bragging like you have never been a soldier before~"

"After all that talk, did you recognize what medal it was?"

Director Zhou couldn't stand him being so cocky, so he asked.

"Uh... Old Zhou, you are ruining my show again~"

"I can't recognize it, but I have a way to recognize it!"

Old Zhang pointed at him and scolded with a smile.

"I believe it! Zhuzi, you don't know that Lao Zhang used to be in charge of logistics at Gongdesen (Lin), and he knows a lot of people... you know~"

Director Zhou did not refute this time and explained to He Yuzhu.

"Brother Zhang is awesome~"

He Yuzhu gave a thumbs up and praised.

"How about... go ask someone now?"

Director Zhang suggested.

"go!"

"go!"

The three of them were in high spirits, so they just left!

"Wait a minute~"

Director Zhang stopped the two and took out a clean lunch box from the cupboard.

I packed a chicken leg, some duck meat and carp meat before going out.

The three of them rode their bicycles and soon arrived in front of a building for high-ranking officials.

Director Zhang took them up to the third floor and knocked gently on the door...

However, after about a minute, someone slowly opened the door.

I saw an old man, about sixty years old, bald, kind-looking, slightly fat, and dressed neatly, poking his head out.

When he saw that it was Director Zhang, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh! It's you, Xiao Zhang. I thought the organization wanted to talk to me again, so I dressed neatly! Come in~"

"Lao Du, my brother and I fried some meat dishes. I wanted to give them to you to try~"

Director Zhang handed over the lunch box and said with a smile.

"Bah! You never come to see me for no reason. You must have something to ask if you come to see me!"

Lao Du took the lunch box and smelled it, and his eyes lit up.

"Don't mention it, it smells delicious!"

He quickly opened the lunch box, pinched a small piece of carp meat and put it in his mouth.

"Hiss~ So delicious!"

Then he solemnly placed the lunch box on the table.

He took out his knife and fork, poured a glass of his treasured red wine, and immersed himself in the tasting without caring about the three people's reactions.

"That's Lao Du's personality. Let's just sit and wait for a while~"

Director Zhang used to be in charge of the logistics of Gongdesen, and he often gave Lao Du special treatment.

So I know his character very well.

Not long after, Lao Du had a full stomach and took the initiative to wash the lunch box and handed it to Director Zhang.

"Xiao Zhang, if you have to fart, do it now while I'm in a good mood!"

"Okay~ Lao Du, my brother... I found this thing. Can you take a look at it and see if it is the medal from your place?"

Director Zhang took out the polished medal and handed it over and asked.

"Huh? Who is so mean to make the medal like this?"

As soon as Lao Du saw the medal that had been scraped clean, he frowned.

Could it be that this person is trying his best to hide himself?

"Why? Lao Du, do you know him?"

Lao Du waved his hand without saying anything, then stood up and walked towards the inner room.

"Brother Zhang, what's going on? Didn't you recognize me? Or do you not want to show me?"

He Yuzhu looked confused and asked in a low voice.

"Don't be impatient, Zhuzi. Sometimes waving your hand doesn't mean rejection, but... no need to say more!"

Waving your hand doesn’t mean rejection, but it means no need to say anything?

Damn! It makes sense.

I'm really fooled by this guy!

As Director Zhang expected, after a while, Lao Du returned with a beautiful medal in his hand.

The outermost side of the medal is a white octagonal star, and the center of the circle is a auspicious cloud pattern with a blue background, white edges and gold edges.

The outer circle in the center is a golden octagonal star, and between the octagonal stars are light blue five-pointed stars…

The Qingyun Medal looks like this~

"What's this, Lao Du?"

Director Zhang took the medal and handed it directly to He Yuzhu for inspection.

"Damn, judging from the shape, it's exactly the same as that polished medal!?"

After a careful comparison, He Yuzhu widened his eyes in disbelief!

"This is the Qingyun Medal. Because the ancient characters for "qing" and "qing" are interchangeable, it is also called the Qingyun Medal!"

"It is awarded by the Party to civil servants who have made outstanding contributions to government affairs, non-civil servants who have made great contributions to society, or foreigners who have benefited our country!"

"Although this medal has been worn beyond recognition, judging by the number of stars on it, it should be the sixth-class Qingyun Medal!"

With a nostalgic look on his face, Lao Du gave everyone detailed information about medals.

"Old Du, what rank is your Qingyun Medal?"

Director Zhang took the medal from He Yuzhu and asked.

"This is the third-class Qingyun Medal. I served as the mayor of Tianjin in 1946..."

"Hey~ Xiao Zhang, why are you asking so many questions? Didn't I already report this to the organization!?"

Lao Du snatched the medal from his hand and carefully put it into an exquisite box.

Go into the inner room again.

"Pillar, where did you pick it up from...Pillar? Why are you shaking?"

Director Zhang suddenly saw He Yuzhu trembling all over...

"Damn it! The old deaf guy gave me the National Party Medal!?"

"This old hag never wants to make life easy for me!"

"What a cruel heart!"

He Yuzhu was so angry that he was shaking all over!!
