Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 19 Special Forces ()

The sun rose slowly in the morning, and the light shone through the cracks in the door, making the room bright all day long. The nearby construction machinery also started on time, rumbling loudly. Lu Shaohua opened his eyes, listened to the sound of the construction machinery, and stared at the light coming in from outside. He was stunned for a while before muttering to himself, "A new day has begun."

When Lu Shaohua finished washing, he looked back at the room where Lu Jiahui was sleeping and found that he was sleeping soundly. He didn't have the heart to disturb him. Anyway, he had nothing to do today, so he let him sleep enough. He quietly opened the door, slipped out, and then slowly closed the door without making any sound.

"Hiss! The air is so fresh." Standing on the road, Lu Shaohua took a breath and felt comfortable all over. In the 1980s, industry was not so developed and the degree of air pollution was not as serious as in the 21st century. The air was naturally much fresher.

Facing the morning sunshine, putting down all the burdens in my heart and strolling in the crowded streets, I unknowingly came to the headquarters of 'Konka Group'. Looking at this group which was established only 6 years ago, maybe it cannot be called a group now, because in this era, it can only be regarded as a factory that produces televisions. Unlike the previous life, it has developed into a diversified group company and has been ranked among the top four domestic electronics companies for several consecutive years.

When Lu Shaohua approached the factory gate, the guard at the gate stopped him. He had no choice but to watch from outside this TV production base which only had a few factory buildings. He could not imagine that in just over 20 years, this production base which only had a few factory buildings would become high-rise buildings, and its products would expand to every corner of the country and become a household name.

He shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, turned around and prepared to walk towards the direction of the shop. However, just after taking two steps, he suddenly heard the guard's laughter from behind him. Lu Shaohua thought that the guard was laughing at him, so he stopped and turned around. Only then did he realize that the guard was not laughing at him, but at a 'young man' who looked only in his twenties.

Lu Shaohua looked at the young man who was laughed at by the guards, and then he found that the young man looked ordinary on the surface. His straight figure looked no different under the background of clothes, but after careful observation, he still found something unusual, because when he walked, the distance of each step was the same, his eyes were looking into the distance, his chest was high, and his expression was very indifferent. At a glance, it was known that this person must be a soldier. The word "soldier" occupied a large proportion in Lu Shaohua's heart. What does a soldier represent? It represents the protector of the country. Every time a natural disaster occurs, it is always the "soldiers" who rush to the front line. It is them who use their flesh and blood to build a line of defense for the safety of people's lives and property.

When the "soldier" walked in front of Lu Shaohua amid the guards' laughter, Lu Shaohua stood up straight, put his feet together, and saluted him. I don't know if it was because of professional habit or something else, the soldier also stopped and saluted in return. After the salute, the "soldier" asked Lu Shaohua with interest: "I see that you are not very old, why are you saluting me?"

"Because I respect soldiers." Lu Shaohua said seriously.

"Yes, a soldier, a former soldier." The soldier turned around and looked into the distance and said to himself, then asked Lu Shaohua: "How do you know I'm a soldier?"

"Walking posture." Lu Shaohua answered with just four simple words.

"Haha, yes, I've become accustomed to this walking posture." The soldier saluted Lu Shaohua with a serious expression. "Thank you for your respect for the soldiers, but I'm not a soldier anymore."

"No need to thank me, soldiers should be respected, but I don't think you look like an ordinary soldier." In fact, Lu Shaohua had already seen that this soldier was not ordinary. The walking posture of ordinary soldiers would not be as standard as this "soldier". Those who can walk so standard must have received rigorous training. After hearing what Lu Shaohua said, the soldier's face suddenly changed. He stepped back a few steps vigilantly, clenched his hands into fists, and prepared to attack.

"Don't be so nervous. I have no ill intentions. I'm just curious why a soldier like you would appear in a factory like this?" When Lu Shaohua saw the 'soldier' ​​making an attacking gesture, he knew that he had guessed correctly. He was not an ordinary soldier, but a special forces soldier who was hailed as a 'killing machine' by people in the previous life.

"Oh, it's hard to put it into words." The soldier sighed, and without caring whether the ground was dirty or not, he sat down on the spot with a somewhat decadent expression.

Seeing the "soldier" sitting down, Lu Shaohua didn't mind sitting down with him. He knew that this person must have a story, otherwise he wouldn't show such an expression. In his mind, if he wanted to implement future plans, he had to recruit a large number of talents, and this "unusual" special forces soldier was exactly what he needed. After all, safety was above all else.

When Lu Shaohua and the "soldier" sat opposite each other, the "soldier" seemed to have returned to his military life, sitting around with his comrades, chatting and playing. He didn't know why Lu Shaohua gave him this feeling, maybe because he missed the military life too much, but at this moment, he suddenly wanted to confide everything buried in his heart to this child who looked less than ten years old, and his expression changed constantly.

Lu Shaohua saw all of this, he just sat there quietly, not disturbing the "soldier" from reminiscing. He knew that if he wanted to talk, he would speak, but if he didn't want to talk, it would be useless to ask.

After a while, the soldier took a deep breath, as if he had made a firm decision, and said slowly: "Alas, when I was in the army, I made a mistake and was expelled from the army. After I left the army, I didn't know anything and could only find some work to do. But not long after I came here... Hey! You saw what happened just now."

Lu Shaohua listened carefully. Although he only said a few simple sentences, Lu Shaohua could understand how a soldier felt when he was expelled from the army. Sometimes a soldier's honor is more important than his life, and being expelled from the army is a stain on his life. If it is not someone you trust, people would never say it out loud.

"Can I call you Big Brother?" Lu Shaohua didn't know why this 'soldier' ​​would trust him, but in order to get closer to him, he asked tentatively.

"Um"

"Haha, brother, don't be too sad. Isn't it the past? The most important thing now is to live a good life." Lu Shaohua said comfortingly.

"Hey! What you said just reminded me that I still need to find a job. Well, I won't chat with you anymore. I'm leaving." When the 'soldier' ​​heard Lu Shaohua talking about work, he remembered that he was now unemployed and said hurriedly.

"Hey, big brother, wait a minute, why don't you go and help our family." Lu Shaohua was waiting for him to say this. He went around in circles for a long time just to win him over. Anyway, the three of them were too busy selling lychees.

"Your family? What do you do?"

"Haha, we recently transported lychees from home to Shenzhen to sell. Business is so good that my two uncles and I are too busy to handle it, so we want to hire one more person to help. I wonder if Big Brother is willing to go?"

"Well, okay, since I get along with you, as long as I have food to eat, I'll go." The 'soldier' ​​thought for a while before saying this. He was speaking from the bottom of his heart. He did get along with Lu Shaohua, but his curiosity about Lu Shaohua was the main reason.

"Hahaha, since I call you 'big brother', how can I continue to take care of you? I will pay you as much salary as you deserve, haha. Let's go back to the store and rest for a day. We will have work tomorrow night." Lu Shaohua said cheerfully.

"Well, let's go."
