Chapter 260: The Old Men’s Troubles
Of course, he still felt a little sad. Why couldn't Xiaoyu give him some face?
The old men have now all found their second life and they don’t look like people in their sixties at all.
Of course, Mr. Wu is an exception. He is not even sixty years old, so he looks the youngest among them and is often the cause of controversy among them.
Xiaoyu ran in and saw a large group of people in the yard. After calling them one by one, he ran to his wife and brothers.
"Madam, this is for you, brothers, and these two are for you." Xiaoyu took out the things in his hand and gave them to his wife and brothers.
Grandma He didn't hesitate to take it and even wanted to show it off to the old men.
The five old men were so angry that their eyes widened.
Fortunately, Xiaoyu was prepared. "Ladies, you have it too."
He took out a bag of candy from his pocket and divided it equally among them. Of course, the first one he gave the candy to was Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu was delighted. "Haha, Xiaoyu is so filial."
The twins also liked the things their brother brought back, "Brother, I don't know how to play with this."
Xiaoyu brought toys for the two children.
A nine-ring chain.
Xiaoyu doesn't know much about this, but that doesn't stop him from teaching his younger brothers.
The three children went to find a place to play by themselves.
The old men also folded the candy and put it in their mouths, "Sweet."
Grandma He was speechless. "No matter how sweet you are, you are still my child. You are just taking advantage of me."
"Big sister, that's not how I say it." Old Master Wu was not happy. "Once a teacher, always a father. I have been teaching Xiaoyu for quite some time. He is filial to me not because of you."
Grandma He smiled and said, "Yes, father, call grandma and let me hear it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone started to make a noise, "That's right, call him grandpa."
The most outrageous one among them was Uncle Shi, who started to put on airs.
Old Master Wu couldn't stand him the most. After arriving here, he became like a different person, very scoundrel.
"I think you're looking for a fight."
Compared to the noise in the yard, a room not far from the outer yard was much quieter.
The person living here is none other than Shi Weichen.
He was reading a letter from his father, which told him that everything was fine, but there were also many other things.
"It seems I have to look for grandpa." Shi Weichen had no way to deal with this matter.
Another battle was fought at the front, with many casualties. It can be said to be a tragic victory.
Those who were injured could no longer stay in the army, but if they returned home, it would be impossible to arrange work for so many people.
If the injury is minor, it's okay, you can be assigned to some front-line work.
Those who were seriously injured...
Shi Weichen had no choice but to take the letter and walk out of his room.
When he saw Xiaoyu, he walked up to him, touched his head, talked to him for a few words, and then walked over to the old men.
Everyone knew that Old Man Shi had received the letter, and looking at Wei Chen's face, they were afraid...
"Has something happened to Xiaochen?" Except for Mr. Zhao, the other old men were very worried.
Shi Weichen nodded, but then shook his head, "It's not about Kyoto."
Upon hearing this, several people breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there is no change in Kyoto, it is not a big deal.
"Why are you so grumpy? What's the big deal that's bothering you so much?" Mr. Shi knew his grandson well, so he asked.
Grandma He was a very perceptive person. She stood up when she saw them talking.
"You guys chat, I'm going to go help Xiaoyong's mom."
After saying that, Grandma He took the three children away.
The old men were all very relieved. It was not that they wanted to hide it, but it would not be good to know too much about some things.
"Go ahead." Uncle Shi said after the outsiders were gone.
"Grandpa, the war on the front line is over."
"Oh, it's only been a year, and it's over. It's a good thing, a happy event." Mr. Zhao stood up excitedly.
Among them, only Mr. Shi and Mr. Zhao came from the military.
The others all come from different fields.
However, they are also very concerned about national affairs.
"Xiao Chen, is there something wrong?" Grandpa Sun has been in politics all his life, and no one is better than him at reading people's hearts.
"Well, it was a tragic victory this time." Shi Weichen did not keep anyone in suspense.
"What a miserable victory." Everyone was in low spirits.
There is a "tragic" before the word "sheng", which proves that the victory of the war came at a heavy cost.
"What does your father mean?" Uncle Shi asked directly.
"Dad wants to arrange a retreat for those soldiers, but..." It's difficult.
｜“Alas, this matter…” None of the five old men could say anything and had to handle the matter themselves.
"Help as much as you can. We can't just leave it alone." In the end, it was Old Man Zhao who was the first to speak up.
"We do want to take care of it, but what can we do?" Old Master Hua was very depressed.
"That's right, how can we help? We can't give money to every family." Mr. Sun looked helpless.
"It would be great if money could solve the problem, but can money solve the problem?" Old Master Wu said with a wry smile.
If it's money, everyone can raise it and think of some other ways, plus subsidies from the government, a wounded soldier can get through it for a while, but what happens after that?
"If you don't help in an emergency, you will become poor." Old Master Sun shook his head.
"So, what should we do about this?" Shi Weichen felt a little uncomfortable. "Those with minor injuries are okay, they can be assigned a job, but what about those with serious injuries?"
What about those who are missing limbs?
There is no solution to this problem.
"Okay, let's discuss this matter. We have to come up with a solution. Also, let's contact the people in Kyoto to see what the situation is in Kyoto now."
"I'll have to trouble Old Sun to write a letter and have Xiaochen mail it." Finally, Uncle Shi made the decision.
Mr. Sun was not a cold-blooded person. "Well, I'll write it right away."
No matter how troublesome it is here, those people don't know it and are all making things difficult for their future lives.
Some people did not want to burden their families, so they did not report the news to their families and planned to be self-reliant.
There are still many people with ideas, and the old men have not thought of these things.

After Mei Xue replanted the vegetable seeds in the field, she asked He Zhengbei to grow the seedlings in the field.
It won't be long before we have to plant the crops. This year, Mei Xue plans to put space water in those fields so that the rice will taste better.
She didn't plan to sell it, and she didn't want to feel wronged if she ate it herself.
The eels and loaches in the fields also need to be cleaned up, because due to the water in the space, the eels and loaches in Mei Xue's fields are very big.
