Who taught you to be a recruit like this?

Chapter 1127 Dear Davari, thank you!

Each generation has its own mission and each generation has its own heroes.

After coming out of the local military history museum, Qin Feng could better understand the meaning of this sentence.

The present prosperity and strength is only possible because of the sacrifices made by our motherland’s martyrs.

As a younger generation, Qin Feng’s job is to guard the country’s borders and prevent the tragedy and misery of the past from ever happening again on the land he loves.

After leaving the museum, Qi Meng and Wu Jin also had a lot of feelings, as if they had experienced a different period of time.

During World War II, as the main anti-fascist ally in Asia, we also made great contributions to world peace and development.

However, in this military museum, our contribution is only briefly mentioned.

But as a soldier of Yan State, I know very well how we resisted the invaders back then, and how we shared a common hatred and fought bravely against the enemy.

Qin Feng asked: "Is it time to go back?"

Hu Yuan said, "There's one last stop. It's not far away. It's the Ostrovsky Memorial Park. Do you want to take a look?"

After hearing the name of the memorial park, Qin Feng did not hesitate any longer.

He is a great author, and his book "How the Steel Was Tempered" is a must-read article in the textbooks of primary and secondary school students.

The character Pavel Korchagin portrayed in the article is well known to all Chinese people.

To this day, Qin Feng can still recite the most classic passage in the article.

“The most precious thing in life is life, and everyone has only one life.

A person's life should be spent in such a way that when he looks back on the past, he will not regret wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of having accomplished nothing.

My entire life and all my energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world - the struggle for human liberation."

This passage was recited by Wu Jin and Qi Meng together, which shows how deep an impression this masterpiece of red literature has left on the Chinese people.

Walking in the memorial park is like having a direct conversation with the primary and secondary school textbooks of the past.

After a quick walk around and paying our respects to the sculpture of Ostrovsky, everyone had a more intuitive understanding and impression of this place and the red giant they once were.

Just as he was about to return, Qin Feng heard a rhythmic knocking and hitting sound coming from the front.

Following the sound, I found a blacksmith shop where an old man with a white beard was working on a furnace.

It is called a blacksmith shop, but it actually only makes simple handicrafts.

After all, with the rapid development of industrial technology these days, the profession of blacksmith has long been eliminated by the times and has gradually become a memory of the times.

The blacksmith shop in front of us is just a preserved cultural project in the park, specially for tourists to check in and take photos.

However, judging from the uncle's concentration and craftsmanship, he is still very professional.

"Hello, do you want to buy something?"

The old man had a gray beard and a sturdy figure. He was wearing a thick leather apron and looked like a medieval blacksmith.

Even when Qin Feng saw his image, the image of Ge Hongbin lifting weights automatically appeared in his mind.

Qin Feng said in fluent Russian: "Let's just take a look."

The old man nodded and didn't say anything else to them. He continued to hammer and tamper on his workbench.

As Qin Feng and the other two were visiting, Hu Yuan introduced them, saying, "Take any souvenirs you like. We have ample funds for hosting you."

Every unit has entertainment expenses, not just the troops.

This money is a reasonable and normal expense, as long as you don't buy anything particularly expensive or excessive.

But Qin Feng has no habit of keeping accounts payable. If they like someone, they will pay for it themselves.

At the airport, he exchanged some local currency in advance and brought it with him.

Qi Meng picked out a puppy ornament and planned to give it to Li Jiasheng when he returned.

Although, it is not as fine as those processed by industrial machines, and the dog is also ugly.

But after all, it was brought back from abroad and bought in the Ostrovsky Memorial Park, so the meaning is different.

This dog is noble and always has noble qualities, and is only a puppy away from vulgar tastes.

Wu Jin also bought a heart-shaped metal bracelet and planned to take it back to his wife, which symbolizes pure love, a love that is free from vulgarity.

Both of them chose what they wanted, but Qin Feng still couldn't find the right one.

"Brother Feng, don't you have anything you like?"

"Didn't see it."

Qin Feng was not very interested in these "rough" handicrafts.

Although they are unique and were hammered out by this local old man one hammer at a time, they are not very interesting.

At this time, Qin Feng came to the old man and asked, "Uncle, can I play one on the spot?"

The old man raised the hammer of his mobile phone and said: "That's what I do, what do you think?"

"What kind of tattoo do you want? Simple ones are cheaper, but more complicated ones will cost more. It can't be too big, or it won't hurt my arms..."

Qin Feng searched his phone and quickly found a photo: "Please help me print this. It should be the size of a keychain. It shouldn't be complicated, right?"

The old man originally thought it would be something like a token of love.

Because most of the couples who come together like to play these things.

But when he saw the picture on the screen, his eyes widened and his expression became unprecedentedly serious.

On the screen was a symbol consisting of a hammer and a sickle.

Qin Feng asked: "How long will it take? How much will it cost?"

The old man seemed very excited: "Just wait a moment, it will be ready soon, at most an hour, just wait for me, I will do it for you now!"

The old man quickly pushed all the small objects on the workbench aside, took out new materials, heated them up and started hammering them quickly.

His eyes were extremely serious and his movements were very focused, completely different from his previous careless state.

Since it only took an hour, everyone just waited patiently.

Not long after, with the sound of quenching and tearing, the old man took a final rest on the finished product, put on the keychain and gave it to Qin Feng.

"You take a look at it, okay?"

“Very exquisite, very beautiful!”

Qin Feng was very satisfied with the finished product.

Although the shape is not 100% standard, it is the result of the old man pouring his heart and soul into hammering it out, showing the pure craftsmanship of the craftsman.

Even Qi Meng, Wu Jin and Hu Yuan praised this work of art highly and couldn't let it go.

Qin Feng asked again: "Uncle, how much is it?"

The old man waved his hand quickly: "No money, this is a gift for you."

"What?"

"To be honest, I've been working as a blacksmith here for many years, and you're the first person to ask me to make something like this."

"Dear Davari, thank you for remembering it. Where are you from?"

Davari is the Russian word for companion and comrade, but the translation that more people are most familiar with is "comrade".

Qin Feng smiled and said, "We are from Yan Country."

The old man took his hand in his and shook it tightly: "Thank you, my friend from Yan Country. I will always remember this day. I am very happy to meet you."

"If you don't mind, I can give each of you one for free."

"I don't mean anything else, it's just because I miss her a little and miss those glorious years..."
