Chapter 251: Bridging
In a blink of an eye, at the end of May, Fengning Yumu Hospital ushered in the opening day as scheduled.
At this moment, as the representative of Dr. Shi Yumu's family, Shi Rujin stepped onto the speaker's seat.
The weather is so nice today, and there is not a single cloud in the blue sky. On the square outside the hospital building, countless colorful flags fluttered high, rendering a cheerful festive atmosphere.
Shi Rujin looked at the audience, and the opening ceremony was attended by guests from all over the country, medical staff from Yumu Hospital, and villagers from near and far. Outside the hospital, people spontaneously set off firecrackers from time to time to celebrate Feng Ning finally having her own hospital.
Although he had prepared the speech in advance, he didn't know why, Shi Rujin, who had long been accustomed to seeing big scenes, was a little nervous before he spoke.
"More than 20 years ago, I was taken to Fengning Health Center by my father," Shi Rujin's voice was a little dry, holding the hand of the speech, and unconsciously tightened: "It was from here that I started a completely different life." ”
This is not an opening sentence prepared in advance, but it is Shi Rujin's truest idea at the moment, and he actually blurted it out.
Since arriving here yesterday afternoon, Shi Rujin's mood has fluctuated, and those good or not-so-good memories have irrepressibly flooded into his heart.
"Xiaojin, come on!" Jiang Qishan, who was sitting there in the first row of the audience, shouted at Shi Rujin.
Shi Rujin was stunned, who would have thought that Jiang Qishan would cheer her up in front of so many people.
On the rostrum, Qi Tianqing also smiled and said: "Xiaojin, there are a lot of your father's old colleagues today, just talk to your uncles and aunts about what you think!"
Everyone couldn't help but look at Jiang Qishan and Qi Tianqing, and then let out a good-natured laugh, Wei Yun on the other side of Jiang Qishan was probably afraid that Shi Rujin would be embarrassed, so he quickly pulled Jiang Qishan with his hand.
Shi Rujin couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, she was infected by the incomparably sincere and warm smiles on the faces of everyone present.
His eyes fell to the front row, and Shi Rujin smiled at Jiang Qishan and Wei Yun.
For this trip to Fengning, Jiang Qishan deliberately found out the old military uniform when he was a soldier, and asked Wei Yun to iron it carefully, even if he is no longer strong and graceful, but today's Jiang Qishan, the upright and rigid temperament of a soldier, has not been reduced at all.
Wei Yun also dressed up deliberately, before leaving, she asked Shi Rujin to accompany her to order a cheongsam, Wei Yun said, this is a big day for Shi Shepherd, and he must put on a show and not embarrass Lao Shi and the children.
"Honorable District Mayor Qi Tianqing, distinguished guests, elders and villagers, it is a great honor to come here, I can stand here on behalf of my family, looking back on the life course of my father, Dr. Shi Yumu," Shi Rujin finally relaxed: "My father was poor when he was young, and his grandmother was sick, and he passed away because he could not be treated, so my father set up the ambition of practicing medicine since he was a child, and he wanted to do his best to let the sick and weak get the best treatment and care, and this ambition ran through his life. ”
"Here, I would also like to mention a great woman, Dr. Yu Ping, who is also my other mother. For the sake of sincere love and common ideals, Yu Ping's mother accompanied my father to fulfill the duty of saving lives as doctors, they have noble personality and selfless feelings, which is an inexhaustible source of spiritual energy for our family, I am proud to be their daughter, and we will pass on this spirit from generation to generation. ”
"Fengning Yumu Hospital was finally completed today, here, we thank all walks of life for their help, as the children of Dr. Shi, my brother and I who are studying in the United States not only feel that this is the glory of our fathers, but also deeply realize the responsibility, with the consent of my mother Ms. Wei Yun, we decided to set up a serious illness relief fund in the name of Dr. Shi Yu Mu and Dr. Yu Ping, to help patients in critical condition, to ease their medical burden, although the strength is weak, but we will always persevere!"
"Thank you again, thank you, after many years, I still remember Dr. Shi Yumu, although his life is short, but he has bloomed the most brilliant brilliance of human nature, my father is the pride of our whole family, I believe, is also the pride of this era!" In the warm applause, Shi Rujin bowed deeply to the guests present, and tears came out of his eyes.
As soon as Shi Rujin walked to the stage, Wei Yun came up and hugged her, then took out a handkerchief, wiped Shi Rujin's tears, and said: "Don't cry, how happy you are today, I just passed the video of your speech to your brother, you are right, the spiritual wealth left to you by your father is enough for you to use for a lifetime." ”
"That's right, that's a good point!" someone patted Shi Rujin on the shoulder from behind.
Shi Rujin turned his head, and when he saw the other party clearly, he called out in surprise: "Auntie, you are finally here!"
Hugging Shi Rujin, Whitney said: "Originally, your uncle and I both calculated the time, just in time to catch the opening ceremony, who would have thought that people are not as good as the sky, and the middle road is blocked badly, I can die in a hurry all the way, but your uncle and the old god are here, and he doesn't know how to be in a hurry in this life." ”
Wei Yun was amused, Shi Rujin's heart moved, and he followed Huinie's line of sight and looked at a middle-aged man who was sitting next to Jiang Qishan and was chatting with him sideways.
"Yu Heng, come and meet your niece!" Whitney called out to the middle-aged man.
The moment the middle-aged man turned his face, Shi Rujin subconsciously avoided the other party's gaze.
Whitney simply took Shi Rujin's hand and walked in front of the middle-aged man.
"Little girl, do you remember me?" Yu Huan stood up and asked with a smile.
Yu Huan is very tall, probably in order to participate in the opening ceremony, he deliberately wore a suit, the whole person is elegant, amiable, and the low baritone even reveals a tenderness.
Shi Rujin was stunned, Yu Huan's sudden question was really unexpected by her.
"Mr. Yu has seen Xiaojin before?" Wei Yun asked curiously.
"Back then......" Yu Huan stared at Shi Rujin for a moment and sighed: "Such a thin child has grown up." ”
Shi Rujin still didn't react, until Wei Yun was beside him, urging Shi Rujin like telling a child: "This is your uncle, call someone quickly!"
"Xiaojin, that's right, it's called 'uncle'," it seemed to see Shi Rujin's hesitation, Yu Huan said with a serious expression: "In my heart, you will always be the daughter of Yu Mu and Xiaoping...... My niece. ”
The other party's smile finally broke the wall in Shi Rujin's heart, and plucked up his courage, Shi Rujin said: "Uncle, welcome back to China!"
Yu Huan stretched out his hand and patted Shi Rujin lightly on the head,
It seems that he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
After the opening luncheon, Qi Tianqing wanted to do his best to be a landlord and specially invited everyone to the district library to visit the retrospective exhibition of the 60th anniversary of the founding of Montaigne.
In an exhibition hall named "Traces of the Times", Shi Rujin supported Jiang Qishan and stopped in front of a black-and-white photograph half a person high.
"Lao Jiang, do you see it, this is the place we were responsible for defending back then, and now it is an important national energy exploration base, if the place is not too far away, I really want to accompany you to see it with your own eyes, you will definitely not recognize it," Qi Tianqing introduced to Jiang Qishan with great interest, and pointed to another photo next to him: "See this building? Back then, we dug the foundation together, in this energy experimental building, so far, there are several experts who have won national awards." ”
Jiang Qishan nodded again and again, and couldn't help but sigh: "Looking back now, we can squander our youth on this land, and we will not regret it in our lives!"
"Old Qi, this is the monument at the entrance of Xiaonan Village, right?" Wei Yun, who was walking in front of Whitney arm-in-arm, turned around and asked.
Qi Tianqing walked over, took a closer look, and said: "That's it, when the disaster was relieved that year, our regiment was also transferred to support, Lao Jiang was also there, seeing the tragic situation at that time, a group of young men cried, how could there be such a high-level rescue equipment now, all relied on manpower to dig, and then the shovel was not enough, everyone simply used their hands, just thinking that they could rescue one, it was all good, but unfortunately, such a big natural disaster!"
Jiang Qishan was attracted and walked over there
, Shi Rujin let go of Jiang Qishan's arm and did not follow.
Xiaonancun ...... In Shi Rujin's heart, it is a hurdle that cannot be overcome, except for the trauma, Shi Rujin can't think of any beauty about Xiaonan Village, and the trauma that eroded her young heart back then, Shi Rujin knows that it will never be bridged.
Qi Tianqing said at this time: "The plan to rebuild Xiaonan Village has been approved, and a new Xiaonan Village will be built next to the old site in the future. ”
Shi Rujin pursed her lips hard, so that she didn't show any inappropriate expression on her face.
Wei Yun walked over, put her arm around Shi Rujin's shoulders, and said, "That Xiaonan Village has been built, I'll accompany you over there to have a look?"
