A Visit
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
Although the First Retired Cadre Rest Home of the Southeast Military Region was not a restricted military zone, it was a military administrative area. No one could enter. The necessary interrogation was still necessary.
"Hello, comrade of the People's Liberation Army. I'm here to look for someone.”
"Please make a phone call to confirm. Just say that Guo Ping 'an's son is looking for him!”
"Deputy Commander He's house? Then wait here for a moment!"
"Alright! Sorry to trouble you!"
The guard at the gate went back to the duty room to make a call to confirm. Guo Xiaotian was waiting there.
Two minutes later, the security guard returned to Guo Xiaotian." Follow me to get your personal information, then I'll take you there!”
"Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome! This is what the chief ordered!"
Just now, he was still thinking about whether he should ask someone for directions after entering. He did not expect it to be resolved so easily. Guo Xiao Tian was very sincere when he thanked him. At the same time, he also sighed at Deputy Commander He's thoughtfulness.
Guo Xiao Tian followed the guard into the retirement facility after he had recorded his name, ID number, and home address.
Ten minutes later, the guard brought Guo Xiaotian to a small courtyard that was about 100 square meters.
"This is Deputy Commander He's house. I should go back.”
After giving Guo Xiaotian a brief explanation, the guard turned around and left.
"Thank you!"
After watching the guards leave, Guo Xiaotian turned around and looked at the small farmhouse in front of him. He took a deep breath and walked into the small courtyard. He walked to the door and gently pressed the doorbell.
"Ding dong! Ding! Ding dong!"
After three consecutive rings, the door creaked open. A grandmother with almost white hair and presbyopic glasses appeared in front of Guo Xiaotian.
"Hello, Grandma He!" Other than He Chenguang, there were only his grandparents living here. Without a doubt, the person in front of him was Grandma He. Guo Xiao Tian quickly went up to greet her.
"Hello! Hello! You're the son of Guo Ping 'an, the one the guard called just now?”A handsome young man suddenly appeared at her door, which stunned Grandma He for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses.
"Yes, Grandma He! My name is Guo Xiao Tian!"
"Guo Xiao Tian? He has a good name and looks handsome!" Grandma He looked Guo Xiaotian up and down carefully and nodded in satisfaction. She turned around and said," Xiaotian, don't just stand outside the door. Hurry up!" Come in quickly! Your Grandpa He is in the house!"
"Thank you, Grandma He!" Guo Xiao Tian nodded and walked in.
"Xiaotian, have a seat first. I'll call your Grandpa He and get you some fruits!”The enthusiastic Grandma He did not wait for Guo Xiaotian to speak and walked towards the kitchen. As she walked, she shouted," Old man! Old man! Come out quickly! Ping 'an's son is here!"
"Ping 'an's son? Which Ping 'an's son?" As soon as Grandma He finished speaking, an old and energetic voice came from the room.
"You damn old man, how can you be safe! It's that Guo Ping 'an who used to be your subordinate!”
"The Guo Ping 'an who died ten years ago?”
"That's right! Come out quickly!"
"I know! I'll be right there!"
Guo Xiao Tian knew that it was the voice of He Chenguang's grandfather, the former deputy commander, He Baoguo. He also guessed from the conversation between the two that Grandma He must have answered the call when the guard called. Deputy Commander He did not know about it.
After Grandma He went to the kitchen, Guo Xiaotian did not sit on the sofa and wait. Instead, he walked to the table where He Chenguang's father's portrait was coaxed. He picked up an incense stick, lit it, and bowed three times to the portrait. Then, he inserted the lit incense stick into the incense burner in front of the portrait.
After straightening up, Guo Xiaotian stared at the young and handsome He Weidong in the portrait. For some reason, he thought of his father, Guo Ping 'an. The memories left behind by his predecessor instantly emerged in his mind. He could not help but mutter to himself,"Your names are unknown, but your achievements will live on forever! The first half of the sentence was not fake at all, but the second half.。。You and my father are just a drop in the ocean among all the people who silently contribute to the country. Ten years have passed, how many people can remember your achievements?”
"Although they are just a drop in the ocean, the country will remember every heroic soul who sacrificed their lives for her!”
Just as Guo Xiao Tian was lost in his memories, a voice came from behind him. He was so frightened that he shivered. He was secretly vigilant. He did not expect his vigilance to be so bad. In a moment of absent-mindedness, he actually let someone get so close to him and he still did not notice it. If it was an enemy, he might be dead. Even if it was very safe here, he should not be so relaxed.
Although he had already thought about it a few times, Guo Xiao Tian did not show it on his face. Instead, he turned around naturally.
He was in his sixties, had white hair, and had a face that was seven times similar to He Chenguang's. He had a kind expression but was not lacking in seriousness and dignity. Who else could it be but Deputy Commander He?
"Hello, Grandpa He!" Guo Xiao Tian stood at attention and saluted Deputy Commander He. Guo Xiaotian knew that a solemn military salute was the greatest respect and respect for a veteran.
"You too!" Deputy Commander He returned Guo Xiaotian's standard military salute. Looking at Guo Xiaotian in front of him, he seemed to see Guo Ping 'an ten years ago. He was just as handsome and heroic.
"Old man, why didn't you ask Xiaotian to sit down?”Grandma He came over with a plate of fruit. When she saw the old and young standing at the side, she said unhappily. Of course, her dissatisfaction was directed at her wife.
"Come, sit down and chat with Grandpa!" Old people loved to reminisce, and this memory would sink in.
"Good!"
"Oh right, I forgot to ask for your name!”
"Grandpa He, my name is Guo Xiao Tian!"
"Guo Xiao Tian…You look exactly like your father!”
"Hehe, my mother said the same thing!”
"Is that so? How have you and your mother been all these years?”
