"Is your Special Forces Team No. 13 the same special forces team as our previous special forces team?" Wu Yong asked out of pure curiosity, with no other intentions.
Song Yun smiled and said, "Probably, if they are carrying out some special missions."
Gu Xinghua came over and said, "Comrade Wu, don't underestimate our captain because she's young. She's the strongest fighter on our team. Even if we three attack her together, we can't beat her. She's also a sharpshooter. She won the championship in both shooting and bomb throwing at the Military Games in Country M."
Wu Yongfa's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his hands itched, he really wanted to fight with such a strong man.
But when he thought of his legs, his eyes dimmed again.
"Heroes are truly born young!" Wu Yongfa concealed his disappointment and sighed with a smile.
The others pretended not to notice his disappointment and immediately changed the subject, talking about interesting things happening here.
Political Commissar Li asked him if he had any problems that needed help. Wu Yongfa was silent for a moment, then he said, "I want to adopt a child."
Political Commissar Li became interested. "How old is the child?"
Wu Yongfa turned his head and looked towards the west of the village. At the end of the small road in the west, there was a house that looked very dilapidated.
"I had a childhood friend who I grew up with. He fell to his death last month while collecting firewood in the mountains. His wife ran away before he could be buried, leaving their twelve-year-old son alone to face a family of wolves and tigers."
Political Commissar Li frowned and asked, "Is the child willing?"
Wu Yongfa nodded. "That kid came to me for help. When his dad was still alive, his grandparents and uncles looked down on him and bullied him because he was honest. His wife and children also suffered from bullying because they had no status at home. Now he's an orphan, and his life is getting harder and harder. He heard his uncle and grandparents discuss giving him to a sonless family in the next village. The family promised to give them fifty yuan, but he didn't want to go, so he came to me for help. He wants to learn wood carving from me and pay me back when he grows up and makes money."
Hearing this, Political Commissar Li's brows relaxed. "Okay, we'll help you with this."
Political Commissar Li had always hoped that Wu Yongfa would find a wife. Wu Yongfa's circumstances were such that, despite having lost his legs, he was very capable of taking care of himself and didn't need extra care. He also received a monthly allowance and was skilled in carpentry, making his life better than that of an average married woman. Finding a wife wasn't difficult for him in this impoverished mountain village.
But Wu Yongfa was unwilling, saying that he didn't want to burden others and that living alone was quite comfortable and comfortable.
Now that he is willing to adopt a child, Political Commissar Li is happy to see it happen.
This was not difficult at all. Political Commissar Li met with the child's family and mentioned the matter. The family agreed without hesitation. Not to mention that Political Commissar Li gave them 50 yuan for the transfer. Even if he didn't give them the money, they would still want to get rid of this stupid boy who couldn't do much work and was a big eater.
As soon as this was said, the family immediately let Political Commissar Li take the boy away. There was truly no lingering affection between them as family members.
Wu Yongfa just spent fifty yuan, and there is one more mouth to feed in the family. Not only does he need to eat, but he also needs clothes, school, and medical treatment if he gets sick. There will be a lot of expenses in the future.
Political Commissar Li quietly took out half of the money he had on him and stuffed it under Wu Yongfa's pillow.
When I turned around, I saw Song Yun coming in, also holding a stack of banknotes. She smiled and said, "Political Commissar Li, why are you doing good deeds without telling us? You didn't even take us with you."
Political Commissar Li laughed, "Okay, okay, it's my fault."
