    Most of these soldiers¡¯ retired lives were unsatisfactory. Although they were still far from committing suicide, according to Qin Shiou¡¯s observation, these people would at least occasionally have thoughts of suicide.

    He could tell from the crazy way some people looked when they drank that they had self-destructive tendencies.

    The soldiers were very noisy together. Father Hickson left his shop after preparing the food. Before leaving, he called Qin Shiou over and said, "Listen, young man, help me take care of my house. I don't want to  When I came back, I found that my lovely old home had been turned into a pigsty by these guys! And, seriously, if it weren¡¯t for your sake, I wouldn¡¯t receive these guys!¡±

    Qin Shiou hugged the old man and said with a smile: "I know that dad is good to me, and I deeply appreciate it."

    After hearing this, Father Hickson laughed happily, patted his face and said, "As long as you know this, okay, keep playing with you young people, I hope those bastards die drunk."  In a bottle.¡±

    Qin Shiou didn't stay here for long. At eleven o'clock, the Memorial Day commemoration officially began. Byrd turned the TV in the restaurant to the loudest, and the group stood up and watched the commemoration on the screen.

    Every year on this day, Ottawa, the capital of Canada, holds a grand commemorative event in front of the War Memorial.

    How grand are their commemorative activities?  The British royal family will have to send someone to host it. At that time, the Prime Minister, accompanied by MPs, will review the troops in front of the War Memorial. It is certainly not a Chinese-style military parade, but it can already show that they attach great importance to the event.

    The ceremony started with a salute. Representatives of elite troops appeared one after another, but only the infantry. The navy, army and air force all formed a guard of honor to accept the review.

    Qin Shiou looked at it and shook his head. Bird turned his head and asked, "Do you think this is bad?"

    The official of Qin said frankly: "I will show you the scene during our country's military parade later. You can find the difference."

    A brief review of the troops was followed by participants singing the national anthem together. Several fighter planes flew over Parliament Hill. The Scottish military band wore tartan skirts and played bagpipes. Countless small flags were waved in people's hands. This was similar to what happened at home.  The military parade is exactly the same.

    Ferguson started and sang: "Hey! In the battlefield of Flanders, the red poppies are in full bloom. The place where we bathed in blood is now full of crosses"

    Others sang along: "The skylark flutters its wings and cries sadly, and the gunshot rarely sounds again. We once had time and family ties in the world, but we suddenly drifted away from this world. Now we are sleeping on the battlefield, and our hands are lowered."

    "Brothers, please take up the torch and continue fighting to the end. If you betray your last wish, how can we rest in peace even if the flowers bloom everywhere?"

    "This poem became famous for a while, and some people began to use poppies to commemorate deceased soldiers. This is also the reason why poppies later became a symbol to commemorate fallen soldiers"

    There was nothing to do next without Qin Shiou. He left quietly and placed the poppies he was wearing on the table at the door. This is tradition. After the event, people will present poppies at the event site.

    In the afternoon, Bird and the others returned to work at the fishing ground. Qin Shiou said, "You don't have to be in such a hurry. I've given you a day off. You can have a good chat with your comrades."

    Nelson smiled bitterly and said: "What's there to talk about? We have to work hard and make money. Now I was killed miserably."

    Qin Shiou frowned and said, "What do you mean? Are you gambling?"

    Nelson shook his head and said: "No, it's not gambling, it's giving money to live."

    Bird then explained to Qin Shiou that the life money was an agreement between some of their close comrades. They went to the front line together and agreed at that time that if anyone survived, they would do their best to assist the dead or disabled.  family members.

    The two of them are comrades-in-arms with Matt and others. After Matt retired, he did not find a job and had no social security benefits. He almost relied on these people to support him.

    Qin Shiou asked: "Then how much do you need to pay?"

    Bird said: "There are no regulations on this, I gave 60,000."

    Nelson shrugged and said, "Me too, sixty thousand yuan, a half-year bonus, isn't too much, right?"

    Heidao and others said that they wanted less, and each of them only took out 25,000 yuan, because there were twelve people in their mercenary team at that time, and only one person died in the battle and one was injured. Ten people bear less pressure.

    Qin Shiou was quite surprised and said: "Wow, this is not a small amount of money. Each of you is worth 25,000? Then it is 250,000 for ten people?"

    Heidao said: "How could it be? We make a lot of money, they give a lot, and some brothers don¡¯t even care about it themselves, so they don¡¯t have to pay.  "

    Qin Shiou asked: "Then you must be responsible for this part of the money? How long will you take care of them?"

    The seven people were all calm, and Bird said nonchalantly: "They die or we die."

    Qin Shiou couldn't understand, Bird and others also understood this, so he smiled and said: "This was the agreement at that time, boss, don't look at those bastards who said they would rather die on the battlefield, in fact it is just their nonsense! Throw them to the battlefield again  Last time, they definitely wanted to survive more than anyone else!¡±

    "If we survive, we have to fulfill our promise to the dead. We can't defraud the dead of their money, boss, otherwise we will despise ourselves." The doormat laughed.

    "Of course, if we don't have meat to eat with you, if we can't eat bread ourselves, then we definitely won't do this. Then we will have to rely on others to help us." Heidao added.

    Qin Shiou suddenly realized that in fact, there was an invisible insurance among these people. Whoever did well would maintain this insurance, ensuring that the brothers at that time could at least eat and survive after retiring.

    This is something he can't understand. The culture is different and the experience is different.

    The soldiers continued to be responsible for security work, and Bird and Nelson continued to teach the new people how to work at sea.

    Qin Shiou was still surprised and asked Bird: "So you have so many comrades, have you ever thought about finding a position for them? You see that the fishery is recruiting, and many of them don't have suitable jobs, right?"

    Bird said calmly: "Of course I think, if the fishery is mine, I will let them work, but it is not mine, I can't trap you, boss, those guys are not material for work, they and the black knives  It¡¯s different, otherwise we wouldn¡¯t be unable to find a job that can make a living.¡±

    Qin Shiou laughed, patted his shoulder and said, "Then I really saw you right, my man."

    The Invalids Day ended like this, and the only trace left behind was the steel poppy standing stubbornly on the beach. Later, Black Knife and Bird painted it with red paint, making it lifelike.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
