Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

Lin Guowen wanted to keep all the gifts, but the guard insisted that he take them away. "Mr. Lin, if you don't want them, donate them to people who need them. Our old leader will not accept gifts from strangers for nothing."

Lin Guowen had no choice but to leave with the gift in embarrassment.

……

After Yuanchun prepared a pot of pills, she put them into a bottle, stored more than half of them in the space, and gave the remaining half to Grandpa Cao. "These are all for asthma. In the spring and autumn when the wind is strong and there is a lot of pollen, take one pill a day to prevent asthma attacks."

Grandpa Cao doesn't have asthma, but he has several old friends or their spouses who have asthma. They get sick in spring and autumn when the wind is strong and there is a lot of pollen.

Grandpa Cao happily took a dozen small bottles and said, "These medicines can't be given to those old guys for free. Grandpa asked them to give you a return gift."

"Grandpa, it's just some pills. Consider it as a gift from a junior to them."

"That won't do. My granddaughter-in-law worked hard for several days to make these pills. I can't let those old guys get away with it for nothing."

In the afternoon, Grandpa Cao went out carrying a bag of medicine pills.

When he came back, he brought back a bigger bag of gifts.

There were jade pendants, pens, tanks made of bullet heads... all kinds of gifts. Grandpa Cao happily showed the gifts one by one in front of his granddaughter-in-law and told her which gift was given by which elder.

Yuanchun held the tank in her hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Grandpa, is this for Dabao to play with?"

Grandpa Cao laughed out loud, "This is for your grandpa Li's eldest grandson. Dabao has been to the Li family twice. When he saw the tank made by the young man from the Li family, he liked it very much, but the young man from the Li family refused to give it up. Dabao even insisted that I make one for him too."

"I gave away all my bullets, so I didn't have many left. This time I used your pills to exchange for the Li family kid's tank. Hahahaha, where's Dabao? Call Dabao over and let him see. Grandpa gave him a gift."

Now, it becomes a gift from Grandpa Cao?

Yuanchun said with a smile, "Dabao and Xiaobao are in the backyard watching Aunt Zhang plant vegetables, and he is also helping Aunt Zhang pull weeds and catch insects."

"He wasn't pulling weeds, he was pulling vegetables, and he was doing Zhang Qiang's wife a disservice."

Mrs. Zhang is the wife of security guard Zhang Qiang and also the nanny of the Cao family. Zhang Qiang has followed Grandpa Cao for fifteen years. He should have been retired at his age, but Grandpa Cao likes him and doesn't want to change him.

The nanny who had served Grandpa Cao before was old and had retired and returned to her hometown, so Grandpa Cao did Zhang Qiang a favor and let Zhang Qiang's wife come to do the housework.

Grandpa Cao felt sorry for Zhang Qiang and his wife who had been separated for many years.

Mrs. Zhang was a country woman. Not only was she good at housework, she cleaned the Cao family's house from top to bottom, and she also opened a vegetable plot in the backyard of the Cao family and grew her own food.

A few days ago, Mrs. Zhang bought ten chicks from the market. Dabao and Xiaobao were very happy. They stayed in the backyard every day to feed the chicks, help Mrs. Zhang pull weeds, and catch insects for the chicks.

Even my great-grandfather doesn't stick with me anymore.

Grandpa Cao was very jealous.

He held the tank in his hands and went to the backyard. "Dabao, Dabao, come and see what gift Grandpa brought you."

"Grandpa Zeng, what is that?" Dabao heard the voice, threw down a handful of vegetable seedlings, and staggered over here, "Car, a big car."

“This is a tank.”

"It's a car."

Dabao insisted.

Xiaobao also ran over, staring at the big car in his brother's hand, and asked Great Grandpa, "Great Grandpa, where is my gift?"

Grandpa Cao was embarrassed.
