Great Power Army Reclamation

Chapter 1999 The persistent veteran warrior

The summer in northern Xinjiang is also hot at noon. Wei Quanyou has a hard time driving the sheep along the border. He is 68 years old this year. Although his footsteps are still strong, his physical strength has deteriorated a lot.

As his generation ages, many people no longer have the means to patrol the border because their bodies can no longer bear the long-distance trek every day.

In fact, his son-in-law has advised him many times not to do this every day. After all, the relationship between the two countries is very good now, and after the border was redefined, there are no so-called disputed areas. Now the border guards from both sides encounter patrols. They greet each other happily and give each other some gifts.

Sometimes we don't even see soldiers from neighboring countries for several days. Their restrictions are not strict, especially when it comes to border patrols, which are often not implemented in place.

But Wei Quanyou is still persisting, although the meaning of persistence at this moment is different from before. He feels that this is a kind of responsibility, a responsibility that he has had since putting on the military uniform.

The duty of a soldier has never been to invade, but to defend the homeland and the territorial integrity of the motherland, and every inch of territory must be fought for!

His rheumatism has improved a lot due to the careful care of his old comrade Ye Wancheng. Although he still feels sore when it rains on cloudy days, his walking is basically unaffected.

Wei Quanyou is a person who doesn't like to fawn over. Based on his relationship with Ye Wancheng, he could have lived a very good life in the second half of his life, and his children would have been properly arranged. However, he firmly stopped them all.

In his mind, the reason why he has always had a good relationship with Ye Wancheng is because they once lived in the same cave and shared the same meal.

Without that experience, he and Ye Wancheng would not have had any interactions later? Therefore, during the years when Ye Wancheng came to power, if Ye Wancheng did not come to him, he would never contact Ye Wancheng once.

It's not that he is a noble person. It's all about work. How can he be noble or inferior? Mainly because it's not needed. He's just a sheep herder, how can he have any dealings with other high-ranking city officials?

He is naturally happy about the changes in Junken City. A company has finally risen to this level. This is naturally the pride of every soldier in the regiment. He is also proud of his old comrades.

But he never thought it had anything to do with him? Even if some people knew about his relationship with Ye Wancheng, he never boasted about it. He just replied lightly every time, "We are all comrades in arms like you." This eliminates those who have some agenda.

He has two daughters and one son. Now the eldest daughter and son are both in Shandong. He has refused to come back several times and has strictly ordered the eldest daughter not to visit Ye Wancheng, although this daughter has called Ye Wancheng her father for two years.

The reason why the second daughter was able to come back was because they were too old and had no one to take care of them, so they left work and came here with their husbands. There was nothing when we arrived, and the family of four made a living by herding sheep and cattle.

Later, when Junken City expanded, the daughter and son-in-law became employees of Junken City. Now, both my daughter and son-in-law are working at the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Corporation. My daughter has become the branch manager, and my son-in-law is still an ordinary employee, taking care of the crops and patrolling the border.

He is very satisfied with his current life. His grandson is now eighteen and will soon graduate from a technical school and go to work. Moreover, they have a house in Junchen City, so the future of their children will definitely be good.

Wei Quanyou has not lived in the house in Junken City a few times. He and his wife have always lived in the old house here. They have retired a long time ago. Their salary is not low and their life is rich and abundant.

Therefore, his current life is a habit, or persistence. When he was patrolling the border, some of the cattle and sheep he herded were his own.

But from the day he retired, none of the sheep belonged to him. They all belonged to the child soldiers at the border guard station.

They are all calves of eighteen or nineteen years old. It is the time when their bodies are growing and they need meat! The nature of the army did not allow them to graze on their own, so Wei Quanyou was their logistics commander. In addition to supplies from their superiors, they all relied on Uncle Wei's relief.

Therefore, Wei Quanyou has now raised sheep herding to the same level as patrolling the border. He has to ensure the nutrition of the children!

In the past, when shepherding sheep, the border guard station would keep two as payment in winter. After retirement, Wei Quanyou didn't want any of them anymore. He didn't lack that kind of meat, and the child soldiers needed it.

There are two things that make him happiest every day. The first is playing the national anthem and raising the national flag on the flagpole every morning. At this time, he must be standing straight and performing standard military salutes.

The second thing was on the border patrol. When the child soldiers saw him, they all stood at attention and saluted him. When he returned the salute, he walked from the beginning to the end of their queue, just like a general reviewing.

Over the past few decades, he couldn't remember how many veterans he had sent away and how many new recruits he had welcomed? Every time when a new veteran is handed over, the veteran will bring the new recruit to report to him.

At first, they called him "Old Squad Leader", but later they called him "Uncle Wei". In fact, Wei Quanyou still likes the title of old squad leader. He was also a squad leader before.

It's just that he was too old and the child soldiers couldn't shout out, so he left it to them. For this reason, he even complained to his wife: "I was expelled from the military by these children."

My wife laughed and scolded me: "Shouldn't you be fired? You're already an old man. People think that standing with you will bring disgrace to the country!"

His wife's words once made him very unconvinced, but then he figured out that you do what you do at any age. If it was time to charge into battle, it would be a real embarrassment to the country if he rushed forward.

Since then, I have never felt unbalanced in my heart. I can't fight, so I can be a logistics manager, right?

The only person he is grateful to in this life is his wife. This woman has never had a good life since she married him. Not only did he have to work, but he also gave birth to three children. I should have gone to the city to enjoy the blessings, but I just couldn't let him go.

Even her daughter gave birth to a baby in Junken City. She only stayed for one night and then ran back. She had no choice but to worry that Wei Quanyou would starve to death.

Although Wei Quanyou is reliable in everything he does, he is really bad at housework. If his wife was not at home, he would soak the noodles in a hot pot and eat them with some suet and salt. He and Ye Wancheng ate them often.

In fact, Ye Wancheng is better than him. He can make those kind of water-cooked slices. Although they are often undercooked, they taste really good. He likes to eat them anyway.

Therefore, this man belongs to that kind of defective man. He can work as hard as ten, but without a wife, he will easily starve to death. Now that you know how to grill meat, the key is where can you get so much meat to grill?

Ruyi had called him several times and asked him to go to a nursing home, but he ignored her. Because he feels that he is not that old yet.

Uncle Wei said, child soldiers, if you don’t vote, I won’t give you mutton to eat.
