Three days later, Liu Hai's father and grandfather were brought to the 586th Regiment's station by the military. A memorial service was also prepared for today.
Last night, Liu Hai's father and grandfather had arrived at the military base, but Li Jiu did not go to see them.
He did not know how to face Liu Hai's father's grandfather. Today, Liu Hai finally met his grandfather and father.
Liu Hai's grandfather was already in his eighties. His hair was all white and he was wearing a tattered military uniform.
There was no sadness on his face, but Li Jiu knew that Grandpa Liu Hai's heart was definitely not as calm as it seemed.
Liu Hai had said that his grandfather was very healthy, but he needed someone to help him now.
It could be seen that Liu Hai's sacrifice was a huge blow to him.
Liu Hai's father was a dark-skinned middle-aged man wearing a military uniform from the 1970s.
Only an empty sleeve swayed as he walked. His originally straight body was a little hunched. His face was very calm, but Li Jiu could see infinite sorrow in his eyes.
Liu Hai's memorial service was very grand. Not only did the division commander come, but even the military commander came. The host of the memorial service was Li Jiu's division commander.
All the personnel of the disaster relief headquarters, the people from all walks of life who came on their own accord, and all the university students who were undergoing military training at the station.
The university students were secretly wiping their tears. The instructor who had been happily talking to them a few days ago was going to attend his funeral today. At this moment, these university students seemed to understand the meaning of the word 'soldier.'
The middle-aged man who had always wanted his sheep also came over. However, there was no one around him. He stood alone at the side. There were some wounds on his face, but no one cared.
The funeral officially began.
" Comrade Liu Hai officially began his military service on December 1st, 1993. During his time in the army…"
After a simple introduction of Liu Hai, some of the audience below were secretly wiping their tears.
As for the university students who were attending the funeral, some of the girls were even sobbing. None of the soldiers around them shed tears. They were also very sad, but they held back their tears.
Next was the wreath. The first one was the commander of the military region, Guo Jianjun.
He was the first batch of graduates from the Central Military Academy, and he was also a popular figure in the academy back then. The other military leaders who could not come also laid wreaths.
The reason why Guo Jianjun came personally was not because of Liu Hai's sacrifice, but more because of Liu Hai's family.
It could be said that Liu Hai's family was full of loyalty. His grandfather had participated in the war of resistance, and his father had participated in the southern border battle. However, Liu Hai had sacrificed himself in disaster relief.
Such a family could be called loyal.
Liu Hai's grandfather and father sat in front of Liu Hai's coffin without saying a word. Their faces were expressionless, but no one could understand the pain in their hearts.
The bangs 'partner had also arrived. She was dressed in black with a small white flower on her chest and two lines of tears on her face.
The girl's name was Wu Qianqian. Her parents had also come over and were secretly wiping their tears.
Li Jiu was also standing in front of Liu Hai's coffin. His eyes were bloodshot. The surrounding warriors all knew that Li Jiu hadn't had a good rest in the past two days.
As long as Li Jiu closed his eyes, he could almost see Liu Hai's smiling face. He felt a little resentful. He hated that the heavens were a little unfair.
The funeral lasted for more than two hours before it ended. At this time, the middle-aged man who had been silent all this time slowly walked to Liu Hai's coffin.
At this moment, no one stopped him, but there were also people who glared at him.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man kneeled heavily in front of Liu Hai's coffin and kowtowed three times.
His action surprised everyone around him. They looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.
"Brother, I've let you and the old man down!”As he spoke, the middle-aged man's tears could not help but fall.
"You didn't let me down. Little Hai is a soldier. This is God's will. I won't blame you for letting him be like this. When I sent him to the army, I knew that I might see him again under such circumstances one day!”
Liu Hai's father said quietly, while Liu Hai's grandfather sighed heavily and did not say anything.
"Brother, don't worry. I'll take care of you and the old man personally in the future. I used to be a bastard, but from today onwards, I will take care of you on behalf of Little Hai. I, Wang Yunhe, will keep my word. If I can't do it in the future, I will be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!”
Wang Yunhe swore heavily. Although Wang Yunhe said so, some of the people around him still didn't believe him.
They had known Wang Yunhe for decades and knew what kind of person he was.
However, no one expected that Wang Yunhe would really repent this time.
After Liu Hai's funeral, she went straight to Liu Hai's house and took care of Liu Hai's grandfather and father until they passed away.
"Get up. No one will blame you. Soldiers had to serve the people. Otherwise, they were not soldiers. I'm already satisfied that you have this kind of heart!”The old man spoke.
"I hope you can keep your word!"
"Don't worry, Chief. I, Wang Yunhe, will definitely keep my word!”Li Jiu nodded silently.
The funeral was over. Liu Hai's body needed to be cremated and buried in the Cemetery for Martyrs for future generations to admire.
When Liu Hai's body was cremated, Li Jiu clearly saw that Liu Hai's father had aged a lot. It seemed that the moment Liu Hai's father was cremated, all his hair had turned white.
Wang Yunhe also followed them over. Along the way, he silently wiped his tears.
At this moment, Wang Yunhe was clearly regretting it. He regretted caring about that sheep of his.
"Li…"
"Uncle, you can call me Little Li or Little Jiu!”
"Then I'll be too arrogant and call you Little Jiu. Xiao Jiu, can I ask you for something?”
"What is it, Uncle? Tell me, as long as it's within my means, I will definitely do it for you!”
"I want to bring back half of Little Hai's ashes. I wonder if it's possible?”
"Uncle, you can bring Xiao Hai's ashes back and place them in your local martyrs 'cemetery!”
"No, what I mean is, can I bring half of Xiao Hai's ashes home and bury the other half here? I think Xiao Hai can't bear to leave this place. I want Xiao Hai to always be by my side and his grandfather's side. I want Xiao Hai to always be by my side. I want to put him on the ground when I work so that I can talk to Little Hai all the time!”
Liu Hai's father spoke very slowly, as if he wanted Li Jiu to hear him more clearly.
"Don't worry, Uncle. I'll definitely do it.”
"Then I'll thank you in advance. I'll also thank you on behalf of Xiao Hai's grandfather!”
