Lin Zheng pricked up his ears and listened curiously to Lin Qingmei and He Xufeng talking about Grandpa Lin. He had never seen what his grandfather looked like.
He remembered his father saying that his grandfather was a captain and often went out to sea to work.
"My grandpa is a very wise old man. He has spoiled my grandma all his life. The soy sauce chicken he made is very delicious, but I can no longer eat it." Lin Qingmei didn't know why, but she wanted to cry when she mentioned Grandpa Lin. Could it be that the original owner's consciousness is still there?
He Xufeng gently patted Lin Qingmei's shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be too sad. If you want to eat soy sauce chicken, I can learn to make it for you in the future."
"Sister, is grandpa very powerful? I heard from dad that grandpa also knows martial arts and has fought against small enemies." The little light bulb Lin Zheng waited for a long time and finally found an opportunity to speak. His sister has ignored him since she met Brother He.
"Well, when Grandpa was at sea, he happened to meet Xiao Rizi's lone supply ship, and then Grandpa and several uncles in the village robbed Xiao Rizi's supply ship."
This matter was no secret in Linjia Bay, so Lin Qingmei did not intend to hide it.
When all the looted supplies were handed over to the army, the matter was considered over.
"Your grandfather is truly a hero worthy of admiration." He Xufeng's parents were both soldiers. Although they had never fought against the Japanese, as Chinese people, they hated the Japanese who had once burned, killed and looted in their own country.
Now, when he heard Lin Qingmei speak of such a brave Grandpa Lin, his heart was filled with even more respect.
Lin Zheng's eyes sparkled, his face full of pride, "When I grow up I want to be a great general, and a great hero like grandpa."
"Tsk, wait until you pass the next exam. How can someone who can't pass the exam become a general?" It's not that Lin Qingmei looked down on Lin Zheng. In the future, the army will gradually pay attention to academic qualifications. If he can't even pass the high school entrance exam, he can only be a private at most. He will be discharged from the army in three months and go to farm.
"Sister, stop looking down on me. Didn't my father not even graduate from middle school? He can be the leader of a group, so I'm definitely better than him."
"Don't you think about the fact that when your father was in the army, China had just been founded. At that time, as long as the soldiers dared to fight and made more achievements, they could be promoted. By the time you joined the army, it would be more than ten years later. There is a difference of more than thirty years. Are you sure you can climb to the position of regiment leader?" Lin Qingmei hit Lin Zheng mercilessly. It was not that she, as a sister, was cruel. With his grades, he would definitely not be able to go to junior high school if he didn't work harder.
"Wow! Sister, you are so bad." Lin Zheng couldn't bear the blow and burst into tears.
He Xufeng was startled by Lin Zheng's crying. How did these two siblings start to quarrel? "Okay, stop crying. Although your sister's words are unpleasant, she is doing it for your own good."
Lin Zheng cried even louder after hearing what He Xufeng said. "Brother He, you and my sister are in the same group. I don't want to hear you talk."
"Okay, Lin Zheng, shut up right now. If you cry again, I'll send you to Northeast China." Lin Qingmei rubbed her head. Her silly brother had a really loud voice, which made her head buzz.
When Lin Zheng heard that he was going to be sent to the Northeast, he stopped crying immediately. He didn't want to be sent there, because it was icy and snowy there in winter, and it was not as fun as Linjiawan.
Seeing that he stopped crying, Lin Qingmei shook her head helplessly.
He Xufeng smiled and said, "In fact, Lin Zheng is very smart. As long as he is willing to study hard, he will definitely succeed."
Lin Qingmei snorted, "I hope so. His academic performance is so poor that I am embarrassed to admit that he is my brother."
