After losing her beloved grandma, Yaning was at a loss for what to do. Zhao Feipeng comforted her in every possible way.
After the TVU class started, Yaning and Zhao Feipeng spent more time together. Both of them were the top students in the class. Yaning also served as the secretary of the class branch and the study committee member, while Zhao Feipeng served as the living committee member. Because of work, they had more opportunities to interact with each other. Gradually, the relationship between the two became subtle.
Finally, on that moonlit night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, this layer of window paper was pierced through, and the man and woman who were in puberty naturally walked together.
After the approval of the parents of the two families, Yaning and Zhao Feipeng confirmed their relationship. However, before they could even discuss marriage, Liu Wenxin passed away, which made Yaning extremely sad.
The greater grief was yet to come. During the Spring Festival, Zhou Heng had just attended Yaning and Zhao Feipeng's engagement ceremony. Before the fifteenth day of the first month, Zhou Heng's illness suddenly worsened and he was admitted to the hospital. Soon, he fell into a coma. Before he could leave his last words, he died at the age of fifty-six.
All his relatives and friends from his hometown had come. The army had held a grand funeral for Zhou Heng. A generation of heroes had been buried in the ground.
In less than two months, two relatives passed away one after another. Jia Jin was a little confused. She was only fifty years old, and her mother and husband had left her. Her daughter and son were still studying. How was she going to continue her path in the future?
Zhao Feipeng, who had just confirmed his relationship with Yaning, stepped forward when Zhang Jiajin was in the most difficult time and shouldered the responsibility of a man. Yaqi couldn't come back in time, so Zhao Feipeng put on a new military uniform for his future father-in-law and a shroud for his future grandmother. He also comforted Zhang Jiajin," Mom, don't worry. I'll take care of everything." Jia Jin was in tears.
A month later, an uninvited guest suddenly came to Jiajin's house.
He was his comrade from back then, Company Commander Zhang of the Special Agent Company, the big man from Shandong.
When Company Commander Zhang arrived, Jia Jin had just gotten off work and was cooking dinner in the kitchen.
"Zhou Heng! Zhang Jiajin! I'm coming! Come out and welcome me!"
Jia Jin ran out to take a look and almost didn't recognize Company Commander Zhang. He had pale, flowery hair, a face full of wrinkles, and was still wearing that tattered cotton jacket. "I'm Old Zhang from the Special Agent Company. Are you that forgetful?”"Company Commander Zhang, how did you get here? Hurry up! Enter the house!" The two of them talked as they entered the house. "It was really hard to find you. I asked around in the army and found out that Zhou Heng had been transferred to M Division a long time ago. I chased him all the way here.”At the mention of Zhou Heng, Zhang Jiajin's eyes reddened." Old Zhang, you, you, came late. He, left!”"What? Gone? What did he mean? When did this happen?" "It's only been a month, right?" How old is he?"" Sigh, he's been sick for more than ten years."" What disease?”" Diabetism, liver Cirrosis, Arteries Cirrosis, he has a lot of illnesses, seven or eight of them."" What happened?"" Sigh, he has suffered a lot these years. It hasn't been going well."" That's right, we understand each other. It's a special time."
"Stop talking. Have some tea first. I'll go cook. Let's eat and talk."
" Mom, I'm back. This uncle is..." Yaning came back from class and asked when she saw a guest at home. " This is Uncle Zhang, an old comrade of mine and your dad during the War to Resist the United States and aid Korea. This is my daughter, Zhou Yaning."" Hello, Uncle Zhang."" This is your daughter. What a beautiful girl. Where does she work?"" She works in a pharmaceutical factory and is studying at the TV University."" How many children do you have?"”" A son and a daughter. Our son is studying in Beijing."" Look at how good you are. You're not like me. I'm full and my family is not hungry."" Are you still single? You didn't meet anyone suitable?" Jia Jin asked him as she served the dishes on the table.
"Mom, let me do it. You talk to Uncle Zhang for a while." Yaning went into the kitchen to cook.
"Have some wine. Erguotou, is it good?”"Okay, you have some too. Remember that you have a good tolerance for alcohol." It's been so many years, why did you only think of looking for me?”"Sigh, don't mention it. It was bad luck for you to be captured back then. You were investigated again and again, and you were sent back to your hometown to work. You were still inferior. I'm finally looking forward to a fair conclusion. I didn't betray the country or the party in the prisoner of war camp, right? Thinking of the comrades from back then, the sacrifices, the missing, I'm content to be alive today! Jiajin, once I implemented the policy, I thought about your request. My comrade, the special agent company's communicator, Zhang Jiaguo, isn't he your brother? I thought, where is he? There must be a message. Whether he is dead or alive, there must be a definite message. I don't believe that he will go to Taiwan. Now that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are open to navigation, if he is still alive, he should come back to see it.”" Jiajin, you must hold on," Company Commander Zhang said as he silently took out a red cloth bag from his military bag. Opening the red cloth bag, she saw a red martyr certificate. Jia Jin took the certificate nervously and opened the cover. She only saw the words Zhang Jiaguo and revolutionary martyr. She felt dizzy. Yaning supported her mother and took the certificate. "Oh my god, Jiaguo, our mother has been waiting for you for more than 30 years. You, you're leaving just like that. "Before our mother died, she told me to find you." Zhang Jiajin sobbed. Company Commander Zhang silently took out a photo from his bag and handed it to Jia Jin. In the photo, Company Commander Zhang was squatting in front of a grave covered in grass. In front of the grave was a stone tablet with the words: Zhang Jiaguo's name will never be forgotten. " A few of our comrades went to North Korea not long ago and found the mountain where the battle was fought. They built a grave for Jia Guo and erected a stone tablet.”" It's a long story. Some of my comrades died, some were defeated, and there were not many who survived. Once I was vindicated, I published a missing person notice and asked around for any surviving comrades. I found out from Old Pang that he was our old chief of staff. He is now in JiLin. When we contacted each other, we found out that Jia Country had long died. At that time, the entire company was scattered. Those who died and those who were injured were almost all captured. Old Pang was like me, captured, but we were not in the same prisoner of war camp. So there was no contact. He had personally witnessed the scene of the Jia Nation's sacrifice. The two of us had searched for our comrades, and several of them had proven that the Jia Nation had indeed sacrificed themselves on the battlefield. "We went to the relevant departments to look for information, only to find out that this martyr certificate could not be sent out. Maybe the civil affairs department could not find you. There are still many martyr certificates that could not be sent out like this. Their families still do not know the news of the martyrs. My mother and I were separated for twelve years. After returning from the Korean battlefield, we searched everywhere to find her. She had left her hometown for decades. No wonder the civil affairs department could not find her. In the past few years, I have also asked the civil affairs department in Hubei." I'm also here to prove my identity. I can't let my comrade-in-arms 'blood flow in vain. I never believed that Jia would betray the motherland. He is my comrade-in-arms who I have been living with day and night. How could he betray the motherland and go to Taiwan? Back then, the Taiwan side repeatedly obstructed us from returning to China. We were all determined to come back, although we suffered a lot after coming back. But I never blamed the motherland."" Yes, this is our belief."" How has Old Zhou been all these years?”" Don't mention it. He's the same. Because of his arrest and release from prison, he's been carrying the crime of being a traitor." Jia Jin recounted Zhou Heng's experience in detail, which made Company Commander Zhang indignant.
Yaning listened to their story silently. She had only just found out a lot of things. She knew the camaraderie between her mother and Company Commander Zhang as she cleaned up the dishes.
It was late at night, and a bright moon hung high in the silent space. Zhang Jiajin and Company Commander Zhang were still talking about the unforgettable past. Yaning listened quietly. She walked to the window and looked into the distance, deep in thought.
The next day, Company Commander Zhang, Zhang Jiajin, and Zhou Yaning came to the crematorium and took out Zhou Heng and Liu Wenxin's ashes. They placed Zhang Jiaguo's martyr certificate in front of them to comfort the spirits.
