Prices in that era were still very low.

Although there is flooding now, it is definitely not to such an outrageous level!

"Hey! Why are you, a soldier, so rude?"

The vendor also said with a dark face: "There is a flood all over the country now. What kind of vegetables are not going up in price? If I sell them to you for thirty yuan each, it is cheap! If you don't buy it, a lot of people will buy it!"

Another student said with a dark face: "Boss, don't think we don't understand anything! Even if there is a big boom now, it can't rise so much, right? You are obviously trying to steal our money!"

"I'm talking about you, comrade! Don't talk nonsense! You will be held legally responsible for talking nonsense!"

The vendor's face also darkened, "Anyway, this is the price here! If you don't want to buy it, leave! I can tell you, I am the only one who has winter melons in the vegetable market here!"

"What else are you talking about! You think we are soldiers and easy to bully, right?"

When the student heard this, he couldn't help it.

"I said boss, are you too evil?"

At this time, the surrounding citizens couldn't stand it any longer, and they immediately accused the vendor: "Comrades from the People's Liberation Army have been fighting floods in our city for more than half a month! Thanks to them, our city can block the attack of the flood!" Do you know how much hardship they endured in order to protect ordinary people like us?"

"If you don't sell it cheaper, why have the price increased so high? Do you still have any conscience?"

Other citizens also criticized the vendor.

The vendor snorted coldly: "Food fighting and rescue operations are their duty as soldiers! Why should I thank them? Don't they get paid? Don't I pay taxes?"

"Anyway, here, I don't care if you are a soldier or something. It's thirty yuan each. If you want it, just give it to me. Don't get out of here! Don't block my business!"

"And you, if you have a conscience and sympathize with them, then give them money and sell it to them!"

Hearing this, these citizens became even more angry and immediately started quarreling with the vendors.

Tang Ming also saw that the eyes of several students around him dimmed slightly.

Eyes full of grievance and unwillingness.

They have worked tirelessly for more than half a month. It turns out that in the eyes of some people, they are just being sentimental!

It's not that they regret being soldiers or rescuing those villagers.

But I feel extremely wronged and unwilling!

They don’t ask for a thank you from others, but at least don’t deny our contribution!

Tang Ming felt quite uncomfortable.

Although there are not many people in China who think like this vendor.

But there are quite a few.

In their view, those who serve as soldiers serve the country and them!

Of course, this statement is essentially correct.

That's how they understand it too.

But when the other party said this, I still felt quite uncomfortable.

It is their honor to serve the country and the people, but in the eyes of some people, it seems that a soldier is just a nanny or a bodyguard!

It’s as if the little tax money they pay is enough to support an army of millions!

In that era, how much salary could a soldier get?

A compulsory soldier, isn't it worth dozens of dollars per month for each person?

For an officer, it only costs a hundred dollars!

And what do they do with these meager wages?

They usually have to train hard, develop their strength, and stand guard for the motherland!

When a flood occurs, they must rush forward as soon as possible and use their bodies to block the people in front of them to fight the flood!

If there is a fire, they have to use their bodies to resist the fire, and use their small bodies to protect the people in their arms!

When the earthquake comes, they have to use their hands to dig out the people buried in the rubble!

When a war breaks out, they will be the first to rush forward with guns in their hands, build the Great Wall with their bodies and blood, and defend the safety of the people and the integrity of the country behind to the death!

It can be said that in China, no matter what kind of disaster it is, soldiers are always at the forefront and use their bodies to resist danger!

It came with great fanfare, just to reassure the people!

I left quietly just because I didn’t want to upset the people!

If they were soldiers for money, who would be so stupid to fight floods, fight fires, and fight wars?

In society, if you find a job casually, as long as you work diligently, which job does not pay higher than being a soldier?

And they only need to do their jobs well, but what do soldiers do?

Looking around the world, which country’s military personnel bear as many responsibilities as Chinese military personnel?

Look at those Western European and American countries. Ask them, when various natural disasters strike, will they step forward to save their people?

Look, if you don’t pay them wages or pay them less, will they go to war for this country?

They will probably take your unit directly to court to demand compensation from you!

In the whole world, only Chinese soldiers are stupid enough to do these things!

And they did it, but in the end, they still couldn't get the understanding of some people.

I think this is the rightful duty of Chinese soldiers!

Fuck you!

Therefore, in China, anyone who is willing to serve as a soldier is a fool!

However, there are millions of fools in China!

Among them, Tang Ming was included.

He is willing to be a fool and is happy to be a fool!

Because they are gloriously stupid!

Admirably stupid!

As long as they think they are worthy of this country and the people, that's enough!

I can contribute to you in obscurity without asking for anything in return!

I just want the country to be prosperous and the people to be safe!

This is every soldier’s dream!
