"This is a little gift, please accept it."

Several people put the gifts on the table.

"It's a cake, Wuquan, look! This cake is bigger than our heads!"

"Spicy strips, Weilong spicy strips, and chocolate with liquor filling, and happy lollipops!"

Seeing the two big bags of snacks in Lin Xuan's hands, the children were obviously excited, but they did not rush up to grab them. Instead, they looked at the old man next to him.

"Uncle, although the gift is not expensive, it is a token of our appreciation. Please accept it."

"What are you talking about, kid? You are all Shen's comrades-in-arms. I usually need you to take care of me. How can I let you spend money?"

"But after all, we've already bought it, so it's not easy for us to take it away."

"Yes, yes. And this cake, you can't keep it here. It will spoil easily. You'd better eat it as soon as possible."

Baili Pangpang secretly admired Lin Xuan's foresight. With so many children around, it was indeed a good idea to send a cake.

Several children also looked at him eagerly.

The old man finally did not refuse, "I thank you on behalf of Shen Xiaozi."

"Yeah (^-^)V, long live Grandpa!"

The children immediately cheered and ran around the house, chirping like a group of active birds.

Except for the fourteen or fifteen-year-old child.

He seemed to care more about the letter in the old man's lining than the cake in front of him.

"Go! Go! Go,"

The old man waved his hand at the little carrot head and said, "I'll keep the snacks for you. Don't be greedy."

"Oh."

The few idiots were depressed for a moment, but soon became happy again.

They can have cake tonight!

There were special plates and cake knives in the cake box, and soon everyone cut the cake into five pieces.

Except for the old man, everyone had a small plate with a large piece of cake in front of them.

In addition, the old man also fried tomato and eggs with the things everyone brought.

"Don't know what to call you?"

"Just call me Old Man Liu."

From the old man's narration, everyone learned that he used to be an entrepreneur, but after experiencing some things, he saw through the fickleness of human nature, and since then he stayed away from the business world and opened an orphanage.

"Your orphanage looks quite old."

"More than 30 years."

Old Man Liu looked at the carrot heads who were eating with gusto, a trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, "I still remember twenty years ago, I picked up Shen Xiaozi from the riverside.

It was early spring, it was raining and the weather was very cold. I don’t know which heartless parents had left him there.

It’s my good fortune that I picked it up.

Little Shen was a very well-behaved child. I still have his childhood photos in my drawer.

It’s just that the older they get, the more disobedient they become.”

Old man Liu became more and more happy as he spoke, and he told all the embarrassing things Shen Qingzhu had done like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

"I still remember when this kid was six years old, he got angry with me and stuffed all the raisins I bought for him up his nose. I got angry and ignored him, but he kept yelling that he wanted to see me.

As soon as I came back, he got angry and ignored me again."

"Dazzling... Shen Qingzhu did this kind of thing when he was a child."

Everyone listened with great interest, just missing a handful of melon seeds.

Wuquan, who was standing aside, had already stood there, as if he had been struck by lightning and was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

He just couldn't connect the naughty boy his grandfather mentioned with the steady and loyal Brother Qingzhu.

"Back then, kid Shen left a letter and went away, saying he was going to join the army. I never thought he would actually make a name for himself."

The old man sighed and looked at Lin Xuan, "You are Shen's comrades, so can you tell me what Shen did in the army? Don't worry, I just want to know how he is doing now."

"Shen Qingzhu is now the pride of our Fifth Military Region. He has won two first-class collective merits, one first-class individual merit, and a third-class individual merit. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a role model.

In fact, Shen Qingzhu really wants to come back to see you, but his superiors have assigned him a task and he cannot come back in the near future.

I can't reveal the specific details to you, but don't worry, it's not a dangerous mission."

"I understand. This kind of thing is confidential. Don't worry, I won't ask too many questions."

The first thing that Old Man Liu thought of was that the country had launched some secret research and asked Shen to be a guard to protect the scientists.

As for whether Shen Xiaozi might be one of the scientists...haha.

Then, Lin Xuan embellished Shen Qingzhu's experience a little and told it to Old Man Liu.

It tells the story of Shen Qingzhu who went undercover in a gang, endured hardships and finally led the army to successfully destroy two large criminal dens.

It tells the story of Shen Qingzhu leading Lin Xuan and others to the border of the motherland to investigate a drug trafficking gang.

It tells the story of how everyone followed a senior military officer named Zhou Ping to learn various advanced technologies.

In Lin Xuan's words, Shen Qingzhu became a top special forces soldier who had a cold personality but was very loyal and willing to go through fire and water for his brothers at critical moments.

Every time Old Man Liu heard that Shen Qingzhu was in danger, he felt his heart being gripped.

But he also knew that being a soldier and defending one's country was always dangerous.

Lin Xuan was talking excitedly when suddenly there was a loud knock on the door, followed by a loud voice.

"Where are you? Open the door, open it quickly. I know you are home. Don't hide in there and pretend to be dead!"

The room immediately became quiet and Lin Xuan stopped talking.

Everyone in the Night Squad turned their heads and looked at the three people outside the door through the window covered with plastic sheeting.

The air is a little cold.

Three ruffian-looking thugs were standing at the door with cigarettes in their mouths, knocking on the rusty iron door with steel pipes in their hands.

They held their heads high, their expressions full of impatience.

The few idiots were obviously a little scared, and their bodies trembled almost every time the door fence was knocked.

The younger ones were obviously a little uneasy.

"Those bad guys are here again."

One of the girls with a bun hairstyle and wearing a big red coat said in a trembling voice.

"Master, who are those people?"

Lin Xuan's expression returned to normal.

"You rascal, you're helping the Li family to urge us to move out."

The old man looked very calm, as if this had happened more than once or twice.

Everyone remembered what the driver had told them, that this demolition land was allocated to the Li family, and the Li family planned to demolish the houses here and build a high-tech zone.

"Then why don't you move away with your child? Is it because Mrs. Li didn't give you..."

“They wanted to give it to me, but I refused.”

Old man Liu shook his head.

"I don't want to move."

When people get old, they always feel nostalgic.

But that's just one reason.

Another thing is that he had no way to contact Shen Qingzhu, and he was afraid that if he moved away, Shen would not be able to find his home.

"Let them make trouble. They won't dare to go too far. They probably won't last long before they leave."

"But last time Grandpa went to buy groceries, he was beaten by those people, and his injuries haven't healed yet."

The girl with the bun hair was very angry and started to cry.

"It's only because Brother Qingzhu is not here that they dare to bully us like this. When Brother Qingzhu is here, they don't dare to fart."

Another little snotty-nosed kid said angrily.

"I gonna go see."

As soon as Cao Yuan stood up, he was stopped by Old Man Liu.

"No, no, just stay here, they will leave soon.

Let’s eat, everyone.

"Lin Xuan, keep going. Didn't you just talk about how Shen became a gang leader and turned over a new leaf with his gang? Then what happened?"

The old man asked everyone to sit down again, as if he didn't hear the threats made by those people before they left.
