Qu Nanxiu was very tired after work, and he had to rush to attend a lecture in the neuroscience club.

A person will spontaneously pursue what he loves against all odds, and go to work only out of responsibility and livelihood.

Two or three hours passed as if it were playing.

It's not far from 302 Hospital, so I just run to the hospital after it's over. Deep down, he has regarded Li Kaishan as his own grandfather.

Gently pushing open the door of the ward, Xiao Zhang, the soldier guarding there, stood up with a "rub" and almost saluted him.

"What's wrong with you, Xiao Zhang, you're not quite right today. ”

Seeing that it was Qu Nanxiu, Xiao Zhang relaxed and said hesitantly: "Xiao Qu, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"How can anyone who is a soldier spit?"

"That's right, a few days ago, the chief just fell ill, and he forgot about it in a hurry, and after a few days of quietness, I remembered one thing. ”

Xiao Zhang revealed that on the morning of Li Kaishan's stroke, the phone rang twice at home, and the chief went to the study to answer it in person.

The two calls were not separated for a long time, and after answering the first one, the chief did not come out.

After answering the second call, the study was silent for a long time, about an hour or so. Then, Xiao Zhang, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the chief shout, and when he rushed in, the chief had already fallen to the ground. And before these two calls, the chief seemed to be in a good mood.

"You mean, the chief's sudden illness has something to do with these two phone calls?"

Xiao Zhang nodded: "I have been with the chief for so many years, his body has always been very tough, and he has regular physical examinations, he should take medicine and medicine, how can he suddenly have a stroke without warning?" The doctor said that this may have something to do with sudden stimulation, so ......"

Qu Nanxiu pondered for a moment: "What you said has some truth. Did you check the caller ID?"

"The number of caller IDs on that machine is limited, and the chief's illness has been filled with condolence calls, so the record cannot be checked. ”

"Got it, I'll take care of it. ”

Qu Nanxiu knows that Li Kaishan is the most important person to Li Tangni, the person she loves the most, and the person who rewrites her destiny. Therefore, matters concerning him must be handled with caution. And Xiaoqu is really curious about whether there is a connection between those two calls and the onset of the disease.

It is not difficult to query the call history, go to the mobile business hall to solve the problem.

Qu Nanxiu saw that on the day Li Kaishan had a stroke, there were indeed two calls in the morning.

He showed it to Li Tangni, and Li Tangni recognized that the first one was Shao Shuai's mobile phone number.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and both frowned. Could it be that this guy Shao Shuai called his grandfather and said something to stimulate him?

The other is an unfamiliar mobile phone number.

Shao Shuai insisted that he just called to greet Mr. Li that day, and didn't say anything excessive. However, it is difficult for people with criminal records to win the trust of others no matter how much they defend themselves.

Li Tangni said: "If I find out what you said that day to stimulate grandpa, I will never let you go!"

Shao Shuai said: "Sad, sad, Nini, I am so good to you, you actually doubt me so much! Old man Li watched me grow up, can I harm him! You go to check, if I stimulate him, I, I, I ...... it."

"What are you?"

"I won't be surnamed Wang!"

"Cut, you didn't have the surname Wang ...... originally"

Li Tangni picked up another number, dialed it with his mobile phone, and it was through.

A mature and steady male voice sounded on the other end: "Hey, who are you looking for?"

The tone of the word "hey" is four tones, and the person who pronounces this word in a descending tone is usually not too young.

"Uh," Li Tangni suddenly didn't know how to speak, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake." ”

Hurry up and hang up.

"Doesn't sound like a bad guy. Let's call back with my grandfather's landline, so it's easy to explain. ”

When I dialed it again, it was still the mature man's voice, but this time, the other party obviously saw the caller number and seemed very happy: "Hey, Uncle Li, hello wow!"

Li Tangni and Qu Nanxiu looked at each other for a moment and understood, this is an old acquaintance of his grandfather.

So Li Tangni said: "Hello, Li Kaishan is my grandfather, do you know him?"

"Oh, you're his granddaughter, hello, hello, why did you call me?

"My grandfather was hospitalized. ”

"Ah, hospitalized, what's sick, which hospital? I'm going to see him. ”

"Are you my grandfather's ......?"

"That's a long story. My surname is Hu, my name is Juan, and my father's name is Hu Guang......"

Juan, Hu Guang, and Li Tangni were a little impressed, as if they had heard grandpa mention it, but they couldn't remember the specifics.

"My father and your grandfather used to be old comrades-in-arms and went to the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea together. Later, my father sacrificed ......," after a few seconds of silence, "your grandfather helped bury it." Later, your grandfather told my mother about it, and our whole family was very grateful. Ever since I was an adult, I've been in touch with your grandfather. ”

"Oh, that's what happened. ”

Talking about this, Li Tangni was already convinced that the other party would not deliberately stimulate his grandfather, but he still gritted his teeth and asked, "You just talked to my grandfather on the phone a few days ago, right?"

"yes. My mother passed away half a year ago, and I just recovered my strength and remembered to greet your grandfather. Didn't he say that day that he was quite strong, why was he suddenly hospitalized, and did it matter?"

Seeing that the other party cared so much about his grandfather, Li Tangni told the truth and the truth.

Juan was in a hurry when he heard it, he was in a foreign country, and he couldn't wait to rush to Beijing, and the sincerity in his words moved Li Tangni and Qu Nanxiu very much.

After hanging up the phone, Li Tangni walked around the house where his grandfather had lived for many years, and always felt that when he turned around, he could see that his grandfather was still wearing reading glasses on the sofa reading the newspaper, or holding a watering can on the balcony to water the flowers.

What a wonderful day those days were, but unfortunately they are gone!

On the balcony, the flowers and plants that grandpa tossed are pitiful these days.

In the past, some people regarded them as treasures in the palm of their hands, watering, fertilizing and catching insects, but now, one by one, they are wilted and listless, and some have yellowed and withered. Are they missing their masters, too?

Li Tangni picked up the watering can and carefully watered the flowers on the balcony. If their owners can come back one day, they must hope that they will all be in good spirits, like soldiers.

After doing this, she went to the study again, and saw that the bookshelves, the desk, all the places were in order. It's just that the desk, which has always been stained with fine dust, has fallen a layer of dust at this moment.

In Beijing, if you don't clean it for a day, the ashes will pile up, and if you think about it, the guard Xiao Zhang guards the hospital every day, and he can't take care of this.

So Li Tangni rolled up his sleeves and wiped the rag, planning to do it himself.

After the two cleaned Li Kaishan's house, Li Tangni sat in the swivel chair in front of the desk that his grandfather must sit on every day.

With a pull, the drawer opened, and there was an envelope in the middle, looking at the thickness of the drawer, there were things inside, and it was not sealed.

Li Tangni opened it curiously and saw that there was a folded letter inside, and a black thing sealed in a small fresh-keeping bag fell out.

Li Tangni looked at it for a long time, puzzled: "Qu Nanxiu, what are you looking for?"

As he handed it to him, he opened the letter himself. On the paper is grandpa's handwriting.

Xiaoqu picked up the crisper bag and looked at it: "It's like a piece of charcoal, but it's a little softer than that, like a small piece of burnt cloth." ”

"You're right," Li Tangni scanned the words on the letter at a glance and ten lines, raised his head and said leisurely, "It's a charred piece of volunteer military uniform." ”

What she was holding in her hand was something written by Li Kaishan on the morning of his stroke, signed and dated. It's hard to say who it was for, but maybe it was written to himself.

In 1958, on the eve of the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Li Kaishan was still a soldier who was growing rapidly on the battlefield.

At that time, there was a veteran named Hu Guang who took great care of him, and Li Kaishan called him "Brother Hu".

Brother Hu has already married and had children, and his son was two years old when he was two years old. No matter where others were, they carried a 2-inch black and white family photo wrapped in oiled paper.

No matter how difficult the conditions are, just looking at that picture every day is full of strength. Brother Hu often said on his lips: "Finish the war early, so that you can go back to your wife and children to warm the kang head early." ”

Charging together in the rain of bullets, smoking cheap cigarettes together in the trenches lacking food and clothing, and tasting the pain and warmth of missing their distant relatives in the test of life and death, Li Kaishan and Hu Guang became comrades-in-arms closer than their relatives.

Finally, the day of parting from life and death has arrived!

That time, the volunteers retreated after losing on the battlefield, and Hu Guang unfortunately stepped on the * and was blown up and flew into the sky. When he fell, his right leg was completely blown off, and half of his body was blurred with flesh and blood!

Li Kaishan cried and crawled over, saying that he would carry him on his back and go with him.

However, at that time, the situation was urgent, and when he stood up and carried a person on his back, he would inevitably become larger, move slowly, and be very vulnerable to enemy fire. Therefore, Hu Guang, who still had a trace of consciousness left, decisively asked him to give up himself.

Li Kaishan disagreed, and tried to stand up several times behind his back, but he saw that the blood was pouring out, and the time to retreat was getting more and more urgent!

In despair, Li Kaishan sat on the ground and hugged his head and cried.

said that he was crying, but he didn't dare to vent his emotions loudly, so he could only cry silently.

Seeing that he didn't leave, Hu Guang took advantage of his unpreparedness, struggled to take out the knife in the other half of his pocket, and stabbed himself in the heart!

This is undoubtedly the most heart-rending and unforgettable memory of Li Kaishan's life in the following decades, every time I think of it, it hurts so much that I can't breathe!

In the end, Li Kaishan tore off a fragment of Hu Guangjun's uniform as a memorial, and in a hurry dug up a few times to cover his body with some leaves......

After the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Li Kaishan tried his best and finally contacted Hu Guang's wife.

But in the face of the thin and helpless woman's tears of grief, he didn't have the courage to say the tragic situation when Hu Guang sacrificed, and that Brother Hu broke himself in order not to drag his own legs.
