Chapter 718 Next to the Wedding
Margaret said, "Fool, what are you waiting for? Why don't you kiss your bride as soon as possible?
Chu Zhennan suddenly hugged Margaret in his arms. Everyone was crying, looking at the old people who finally came together after twists and turns, and they began to recall their feelings. Chu Yanran kept crying. Fortunately, Zhang Yang was by her side, hugged her shoulder, and comforted her with a broad and warm heart.
Lin Xiu was also wiping her tears. When she was ready to look for her, Xie Zhiguo sent his hand in time.
There were tears flashing in Song Huaiming's eyes. He thought of Chu Jingzhi and remembered the moment when the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. His wife's figure disappeared forever in front of his eyes with the collapsed building.
Chu Zhennan kissed Margaret's lips. Although her lips were no longer moist, and although her face had aged with the years, in Chu Zhennan's heart, she was always the foreign girl with braids. His love with her, through the flames of war, through the wind and rain, when they were old, Finally, he could hug each other again. Chu Zhennan whispered to his wife's ear that Margaret wanted him to say for the rest of his life, and he thought it was extremely numb: "I love you...
This is also the last sentence said in Chu Zhennan's life. Before the end of his life, he finally let his wife hear this sentence. Chu Zhennan walked peacefully and slept peacefully, silently.
Everyone around saw Chu Zhennan's suddenly drooping arm and wanted to move forward.
"Don't come here!" Margaret shouted.'s.
Everyone stopped at the same time and saw the skinny Margaret holding Chu Zhennan's burly body and moved to the sofa little by little. It was very difficult to walk, but with a smile on her face, it took a lot of effort to put Chu Zhennan's body on the sofa. Margaret wiped off the sweat on her forehead and sat on the sofa He put his white head on his lap and whispered, "Go out. He's too tired to fall asleep. Let him have a good sleep..."
Chu Yanran covered her lips, turned around and threw herself into Zhang Yang's arms. Zhang Yang hugged her tightly, feeling that Chu Yanran's delicate body was constantly trembling because of extreme sadness.
Chen Chongshan waved his hand, and everyone retreated out silently. After walking out of the small building, Chu Yanran took the lead in crying. She beat Zhang Yang's chest and bit Zhang Yang's chest fiercely. The pain made Zhang Yang's eyebrows tremble for a moment, but he did not move, but hugged Chu Yanran tightly.
There was a light rain in the sky, and Hong Changwu and Xie Zhiguo, all the iron-boned men, couldn't help but shed tears at this time.
Chen Chongshan did not cry, and his voice was sad and slow: "The strong heart is not getting old, and he can still be a ghost hero when he dies! Zhennan! Let's go!"
Because the departure of Chu Zhennan, Song Huaiming delayed the return time, Chu Zhennan was highly respected in his lifetime. After he left, his comrades-in-arms and subordinates came from all over the country in an endless stream. Margaret did not arrange anyone to pay tribute to his appearance. According to Chu Zhennan's last words, he was The auditorium of the military region, where the troops who held a memorial service, worked in the south of Chuzhen, specially arranged a mourning hall for the former comrades-in-arms and subordinates of the south of Chuzhen to mourn.
Margaret buried the ashes of Chu Zhennan with her family on the island. There was no mausoleum, but a ginkgo tree was planted on the ashes.
Song Huaiming put a handful of soil in his hand to the edge of the tree. He said to Margaret, "Mom, Dad had a lot of comrades-in-arms before his death. Why didn't he hold a memorial service?"
Margaret said, "Before his death, he liked to be lively and crowded, but although the memorial service was crowded, the atmosphere was not good. Everyone cried and cried. I was afraid that the old man would be upset when he heard it, so let him leave at ease."
Song Huaiming nodded.
Chen Chongshan said, "The south of the town is at ease. I think his spirit in heaven also wants all of us to send him happily."
Margaret smiled indifferently and said, "Lao Chen is right. Zhennan is not dead. He just lives in our hearts in another way.
" She glanced at Chu Yanran. Her granddaughter's wonderful eyes had been red and swollen. Margaret said, "Yianran, when I leave in the future, I will bury me next to your grandfather and plant a ginkgo tree to see who is taller."
Chu Yanran nodded with tears in her eyes.
Margaret was unexpectedly strong after her death in Chuzhennan. She added the last handful of soil to the ginkgo tree, began to water the ginkgo tree, put down the kettle, and said to the people around: "I've been busy all day. You go back to dinner. I want to stay alone with the old man and talk to him
Zhang Yang took Chu Yanran's hand, and they left together. Chu Yanran was a little worried about her grandmother. After walking a few times, she looked back.
Seeing grandma standing in front of the ginkgo tree, staring at the tree affectionately, in her heart, Chu Zhennan has turned into the ginkgo tree, and his life is continuing in this way...
Song Huaiming came to Chu Yanran's side and whispered, "Yianran, go and eat something. You haven't eaten anything since last night." Fathers always pay attention to their daughters.
Chu Yanran nodded: "I know..." After saying that, she paused and said, "Dad, you can also have a rest!" It was Grandpa Feng's wish to make up their father and daughter. Chu's mother called Song Huaiming's father so that his grandfather could hear it not far away.
Song Huaiming nodded excitedly and said to Zhang Yang, "Zhang Yang, take good care of Yanran!" He has returned the letter, his daughter has admitted that he is his father, and there is no need to show the letter to her.
Lin Xiu had prepared the meal and waited for everyone to come back to eat. Chu Yanran did not eat, but returned to her room. Zhang Yang was worried that she was alone. He went to get a bowl of noodles and sent to Chu Yanran's room.
Chu Yanran silently packed up the clothes in the wardrobe.
Zhang Yang said, "Eat something, always don't eat, and people can't stand it."
Chu Yanran stopped for a moment and seemed to remember something. She walked back to Zhang Yang, took off the engaged brass ring from her hand and handed it to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang said, "What are you doing?"
Chu Yanran's eyes are still sad, but she is now very rational: "Thank you for proposing to me and comfort my grandfather before he leaves."
Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "I'm not trying to comfort him. I'm sincerely proposing to you."
Chu Yanran said, "Thank you for everything you have done for me. I don't want to force you."
Zhang Yang said, "Yanran, we have wasted too much time. I don't want to be separated from you anymore. I like you! I want to marry you!" He grabbed Chu Yanran's hand and almost domineeringly hugged her delicate body into his arms.
Chu Yanran said, "I believe it, but I know that you are not ready!"
The muscles of Zhang Yang's back involuntarily tightened.
At this time, Chu Yanran's phone rang, and she whispered, "I'll answer the phone."
Zhang Yang let go of her, and Chu Yanran picked up her mobile phone: "Hey!"
A strange man's voice sounded: "Yanran, my condolences, I would like to express my deepest condolences on the departure of Commander Chu."
Although Chu Yanran didn't know who the other party was, she politely said thank you.
The other party then revealed his identity: "Yanran, you should still remember me. I often took you to play when you were a child. I'm Uncle Li!" After saying that, the other party added, "Remember, one year I rode you to buy sugar. The ground slipped on the road. We fell down together. Your head was knocked out, and I was beaten by your grandfather."
Chu Yanran searched for her memory. She soon remembered that Uncle Li was Li Tongyu. In my memory, Uncle Li was very good to him. In the days after his mother's death, he often came to see him, but later disappeared. There has been no news of him for nearly ten years. Chu Yanran whispered, "Uncle Li, I remember."
When Zhang Yang heard Chu Yanran's words, he was stunned. He almost thought of Li Tongyu at the first time. Did this call be made by Li Tongyu?
Li Tongyu said, "Yanran, I'm in Jing'an. I have something to tell you about calling my mother."
Chu Yanran said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Li, I'm in a bad mood now. Can we talk about it another day?"
Li Tongyu said, "Some truths should not be covered up, otherwise it is disrespectful to the deceased. The earthquake 14 years ago buried a lot of things. Why did your mother choose to stay until the end? What made her forget that her daughter was still at home and devoted all her energy to her work? Did you know that there was no her name in the front-line rescue team? Did you know that she quarreled with your father the night before the earthquake?
Chu Yanran's lips trembled: "I don't understand what you're talking about?"
Li Tongyu said, "When your mother was buried in the collapsed building, your father was directing another rescue operation. Some students and a young teacher were rescued from the disaster. Her name is Liu Yuying!"
Chu Yanran bit her lips tightly: "You're lying to me!"
Li Tongyu said, "I have a piece of information in my hand, detailed information about the earthquake, not only that, but I can also prove that your father, Song Huaiming! He met Liu Yuying before he rescued her. I have enough evidence to prove that he commanded the rescue team to save people, not only to be selfless, but also to help others, because the person he was most nervous was Liu Yuying, and your mother had discovered their relationship on the eve of the earthquake!"
Chu Yanran said angrily, "You tell a lie!"
Li Tongyu said, "I'm at the Mengxian Lake Pier, and all the evidence buried is in Lou's hands!"
Chu Yanran put down the phone and walked out of the door without saying a word. Zhang Yang came forward and grabbed her arm: "Yangran, is it a call from Li Tongyu? That man has ulterior motives.
Chu Yanran said, "Have you seen him?"
