Bind to the collection system, I became a national treasure

"Why are there traces of bullet holes here?"

Xiao Rui was a little unsure and walked closer to observe it, but the mark really looked like a bullet hole no matter how he looked at it.

It's so old, maybe even hundreds of years old, that Xiao Rui was a little curious about where this thing came from.

"what's wrong?"

Seeing Xiao Rui staring at someone's door, Bai Xi walked over curiously.

After hearing Xiao Rui's explanation, Bai Xi looked at the hole in surprise.

Come to think of it, she seemed to have never touched a gun before. Why not ask Brother Yang to take her to a place to practice target shooting?

The two were still studying when the wooden door with bullet holes was suddenly pushed open.

An old man with a white beard about a foot and a half long and no hair came out.

The old man looked extremely old, definitely in his eighties or nineties or older. He was wearing an old dark green military uniform. Although he looked a little old, his back was straight. In one hand he held a broom that was worn down to the point that only the handle was left, and in the other hand he held a common red plastic bucket with some water in it, as if he was going to sweep the floor.

He still has such a strong body at this age. He must have been a tall and strong man when he was young. He has maintained his living habits very well even in his old age.

The old man glanced at Bai Xi and the other man and asked, "What are you two doing?"

Bai Xi listened, and although the old man's accent was quite strong, he could still understand it. It was probably half mixed with Mandarin, so he quickly replied: "Grandpa, we are here for tourism. Is there any restaurant in the village where we can eat?"

The old man raised his hand and pointed in a direction: "Zhao Wawa's home cooking is delicious."

Then he waved and left.

Bai Xi bowed his head in thanks, and he and Xiao Rui walked in the direction the old man pointed.

After walking for less than ten minutes, I found the so-called Zhao Wawa's home.

An old man who is at least 60 years old... he has few teeth left...

Bai Xi and Xiao Rui looked at each other...

Can this "Zhao Wawa" grandpa still cook?

I feel like if I don't pay attention a little, the feast will start right away...

"'Zhao Wawa'...Grandpa, is your house a restaurant?"

"Zhao Baby" took out a faded wooden sign from behind his back, which read: "Lao Zhao Local Cuisine Restaurant".

"Then Grandpa Zhao...let's have a meal at your place? You can cook as many dishes as you can. We should cook according to our ability. Please don't overwork yourself!"

Bai Xi was a little worried. He wanted to say no to the meal but was afraid of hurting the old man's feelings. Besides, it was likely that all the restaurants in the village were like this, so he could only try his best to remind him.

This grandpa...if he's not careful, he might end up making a fortune...

"Zhao Baby" tried three times before he successfully got up from the stool. He didn't even ask Bai Xi what he wanted to eat, and just went to cook.

This meal is so tiring!

I'll have to think about whether I should give a bad review to the B&B owner.

Bai Xi pondered seriously.

......

Grandpa "Zhao Wawa"'s legs and feet were not very agile, but he was still very fast at cooking. He stir-fried vegetables with oil residue, cut a large plate of crystal clear bacon, stewed mushrooms, and had a kind of beef soup that Bai Xi had never seen before.

I don’t know if it was because the food was really delicious or if he was really hungry after walking for too long, but Bai Xi finished two large bowls of rice before stopping, which made the grandfather’s eyes pop out.

Grandpa "Zhao Wawa" only charged 20 yuan per person for the meal, which made Bai Xi feel a little embarrassed. He wanted to give more, but "Zhao Wawa" refused to accept it and waved his hand to send them away.

A meal with three dishes and a soup, which was large in size and included meat, cost forty yuan in total. The prices don't seem like they were in 15, but more like they were in 95.

On the way back, I passed by that courtyard again and happened to meet the old man with white beard. It seemed that he had just finished cleaning something and had returned.

The old man also saw them and came over: "How is it? Are you going to Zhao Wawa's house to eat?"

Bai Xi replied: "Yes, Grandpa, thank you for the directions. It's delicious and affordable."

The old man nodded and pushed open the old wooden door with bullet holes.

Bai Xi and Xiao Rui glanced inside curiously, but as a result, they were immediately frozen in place.

In the courtyard behind the wooden door, there stood a three-story old building with a doorhead on the front.

There are six plaques hanging above the door, most of which are a little weathered and faded.

From top to bottom are:

Pillars of the Nation

People's Hero

Heroes of China and North Korea

House of Glory

First-Class Meritorious Family

The House of the First-Class Meritorious Official

There are six plaques stacked up one by one, and the first two are still in traditional Chinese characters.

Bai Xi widened his eyes, feeling stung by the brilliant righteousness.

No, this building is glowing! It's glowing golden! She can hardly open her eyes!

My legs are still a little weak and I feel like knocking them.

This is a master! This is a senior who lives in the textbooks! This is a role model for millions of compatriots!

Xiao Rui wasn't much better, his eyes nearly popped out of his head. Although he had seen a lot of the world as a member of the organization, this was the first time he had seen such a big world...

Bai Xi and Xiao Rui looked at the "Merit Pagoda" built with the plaque and stood in awe.

With this tower guarding this building, not to mention people, even ghosts who come to the door of the building have to salute and march in step before they can leave.

The way the two looked at the old man changed instantly.

The old man was a little surprised to see Bai Xi and the other man staring at the courtyard in a daze. It was only when he turned around to look that he realized what was happening.

He hadn't seen a stranger for a long time. There were only some old men and women left in the village, although he had watched these old men and women grow up.

Those who occasionally get off the road to eat usually don't come to this place.

The old man smiled and said, "Are the girls and boys jealous? Work hard and bring honor to your family!"

Bai Xi nodded subconsciously and took out a golden-red badge from her bag. She liked this badge very much, so she always carried it with her. As for whether she was afraid of losing it...

Whoever dares to steal this thing, Bai Xi can only respect him as a man.

"Grandpa is really amazing. I still need to work harder..."

Times have changed, and it may be a bit difficult to surpass in quality, but with the system overlords in terms of quantity, it may not be impossible if we work hard.

The old man took a look at the thing in Bai Xi's hand. Although his eyes were a little presbyopic and he couldn't see clearly, the color combination made it easy for him to think that it was something like a badge. He was a little surprised: "Girl, are you in the army too?"

Bai Xi shook his head: "Not really, I just helped provide some technology. Mine is in the field of national defense technology."

The old man was quite straightforward. He just threw down his broom and walked over: "Let me see?"

Bai Xi handed the badge to the old man, who observed it for a while. He had never seen this new style of badge before, but no one should know how to make it, and no one would dare to forge it.

"Missiles? Rockets? Tanks?"

Bai Xi was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Rui: "I can't say..."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the old man's dry face: "That must be something extraordinary..."

"Well done, girl! Women are just as capable as men..."
