The next day, Zhou Min and Zhou Lei learned that Master Li was sick and hurriedly went to visit.

"Uncle, how are you?"

"Hehe, it's okay, little problem. For Zhou Min's concern, the old man just smiled, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and it cannot be said that he is not filial piety.

"Dad, the medicine is ready, I'll help you drink it."

At this time, a young man came in with a bowl of medicine, Zhou Min and Zhou Lei heard that this person was called Dad, could it be that Master Li's son came back, hasn't they all been missing for several years?

"Minmin, Zhou Lei, let me introduce to you, this is my younger brother, Li Xingbang. ”

"Doctor Li, it's you, long time no see. Zhou Min turned around and looked at the person and said in surprise.

"Zhou Min, how are you...."

"What, you know?"

"Uncle, speaking of which, Dr. Li is still my life-saving benefactor, when I was injured, it was Dr. Li who saved me, but I didn't expect him to be your son, Sister Ruyu's younger brother, this is really fate. Zhou Min was very happy to see the deceased.

"Doctor Li, let's talk about the old days later, you feed your uncle medicine first. ”

Zhou Min was very emotional in his heart, this is really fate, he thought that it would be difficult to see people from the base area again in his life, but he didn't expect it to be Li Ruyu's younger brother.

There were outsiders present, Master Li was not good at seizures, he took the medicine with a cold face, and as soon as the medicine was finished, he waved his hand and signaled Li Xingbang to go out.

Li Xingbang was a little helpless, and walked out of the old man's bedroom, Zhou Min and Zhou Lei also said goodbye, Zhou Min really had a lot to ask.

"Doctor Zhou, I'll go back first, and you can talk slowly. Zhou Lei found a reason to leave.

"Doctor Zhou, what's the matter, Zhou Min, you are also a military doctor?"

"No, Dr. Li, I'm still a trainee military doctor, and Sister Ruyu is my immediate boss. ”

"So you also joined the Kuomintang?"

"Does the military doctor of the national army represent the Kuomintang, Sister Ruyu and I are not, we only care about saving people, and we don't bother to care which party or faction. I heard from Master Li that you haven't been home for many years, why did you come back suddenly? Your family is very worried about you. ”

"I know, I haven't come back for many years, one is that the base really needs me, you also know that the Eighth Route Army lacks medical care and medicine, how can I go home to visit my relatives if I have nothing to do, sometimes I don't know where to go when I transfer, and then I am worried that going home will affect my family, after all, my family is also a rich family in the local area, and it is impossible for devils and spies not to monitor, in case of leakage, they will be dangerous. So I didn't dare to make any moves all these years. Li Xingbang said with a wry smile.

Zhou Min felt the deep debt and bitterness to his family in his words.

As far as I know, it is now a critical juncture in the war, why are you not in the army, and you are most needed at this time. ”

"There is no medicine, the medicine is all used up, the gauze is washed and can no longer be used, so the brigade commander sent several waves of people out to find medicine. I can be regarded as volunteering, compared to others, my family is still somewhat capable, and I also hope to use my father's strength to get more medicine, but last night my words were a little more intense, and my father became angry. I...."

"Doctor Li, don't worry, I think my uncle has a good complexion, and he should cultivate for a while, but it is really risky for you to ask your uncle to help you get medicine. ”

"I know, isn't it impossible to do it, alas. ”

"By the way, how are Commander Li, Political Commissar Wang, Huzi, and Director Zhang?"

"The regiment commander is now the brigade commander, Commissar Wang went to Yan'an, and it will take a while to come back, and Huzi is also the company commander now. ”

"Where's Director Zhang?"

"She... She died. ”

"What's going on?"

"Two months ago, the devils swept away, and she sacrificed in order to cover the retreat of the villagers. ”

When Zhou Min heard this, tears flowed down her face, she covered her mouth and didn't let herself make a sound, when she was in the base area, Director Zhang took good care of her, maybe she thought she was a baby in the city, I didn't expect such a good person to die like this, a thick sadness swept Zhou Min, people die every day, but it is a different feeling to hear that someone I know is dead.

Li Xingbang also looked sad, but he had seen too many lives and deaths, and he could control his emotions. After a while, Zhou Min stopped his tears.

"Zhou Min, how is Xiaoxue, why didn't you see her?" Li Xingbang wanted to ask her if anything had happened, but he didn't ask.

"Don't worry, she's fine, we went to medical school together after returning to Shanghai, she's very talented, she's studying in the United States, and she's a very good doctor in the future." ”

"That's good, that's good. This is also her chance. ”

Li Ruyu, who was beside Old Man Li's bed, kept driving to the old man, hoping that he would not be angry. After all, it hurts the body.

"Dad, don't be angry, I remember that my little brother was very naughty when he was young, you didn't worry less, now he is a man who stands up to the sky, resists the invaders, saves the life and helps the wounded, what else are you dissatisfied with, the most important thing is that he is back safely now, isn't this better than anything else?"

"Alas, Ruyu, you have been obedient since you were a child, and Xingbang this child is naughty, I was worried that he would become a useless son, insulting the name Xingbang, in fact, I am glad that he is willing to devote himself to the Eighth Road, to resist Japan and save the country, I am just angry that he has not heard from him for so many years, and I don't know how to report safety to my family, I Li Tianmao has a pair of children in my life, but now both of you are not married, and my Li family does not even have a descendant, I am really ..... Alas," said Old Man Li, tears flowed from his eyes.

Li's mother also wiped her tears, looking at her tearful parents, Li Ruyu felt very uncomfortable, she went to the United States after the Gu Cheng incident, and her younger brother went to join the Eighth Route Army. It was indeed an unbearable ordeal.

"Dad, my brother and I will be fine, and we will be filial to you two elders together. ”

"Ruyu, you can tell Xingbang to come in. ”

As soon as Li Xingbang heard Master Li call him, he hurriedly entered the house.

"Dad, my son is not filial, don't be angry. ”

"Hmph, you still know unfilial piety. ”

"Xingbang, my father used to always worry that you would not be successful, and you always liked to mess around when you were in school, I didn't expect you to join the Eighth Route Army, you are not too young, it's time to get married, leave a queen for the family, I don't want our Li family to be broken in your generation, then I don't have the face to see the ancestors and ancestors. ”

"That, Dad, I got married, I got married in the army 1 year ago. ”

"You, you.... You rebel, you don't tell me and your mother when you get married, you, you're going to be angry with me. Master Li felt his blood pressure soar all of a sudden.

"No, Dad, you listen to me, it's not that you don't tell your family, at that time, our troops were transferred to Shanxi, or in the mountains, and there is really no condition to inform the family, Dad, I applied to take a photo before I came back, you see, this is your daughter-in-law, this is your grandson. ”

As soon as he heard that there were photos and a grandson, Mr. Li was happy.

"Bring it, I'll take a look. ”

Looking at the black and white photos, Master Li's eyes were red.

"This child is like you, the daughter-in-law is not bad, the Li family is behind, there is a back, go and call your mother and your sister over, and be happy together." ”
