The medicine was boiled by Zhang Lao himself, and he said that he was not at ease with others. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Then he watched as the nurse helped pour the medicine into the old general's mouth before he was pushed out of the ward.

Looking at everyone's nervous expressions, Zhang Lao said, "Now, wait patiently." ”

His voice was a little tired, after all, he was old, his energy was not as good as that of young people, and he was weak in many things, and his physical strength was consumed faster when he was focused.

After about half an hour, Zhang Lao went in again, this time for about five minutes, and then poked his head out and said to everyone: "The old general is awake!"

The Zhong family and his party were delighted and leaned over one after another.

Zhang Lao hurriedly gestured: "Quiet! The old general is in a very bad situation now, and he can't be stimulated." ”

Everyone hurriedly slowed down.

Zhang Lao looked at Zhong Huayong and An Ning, and said, "The old general said that Hua Yong and An Ning should go in." ”

An Ning and Zhong Huayong were both stunned, but they didn't expect that after the old man woke up, the first thing he wanted to see was actually the two of them.

Including a few people from the second generation of the Zhong family, they didn't expect this, their faces were full of disbelief, and they watched the two juniors go to the ward before them.

Only the third child of the Zhong family sighed secretly, as if he understood something.

For a while, there was silence outside the ward, and everyone did not speak, standing quietly at the door, like a group sculpture.

Chen Zhengqian was amazed that this old man Zhang really had two strokes, and he was able to wake up this old man, although everyone understood the result, but it did not prevent Chen Zhengqian from marveling at his powerful medical skills.

An Ning and Zhong Huayong stayed inside for less than five minutes before they came out. When I went in, I was nervous, and when I came out, my eyes were red. The moment they closed that door, they all knew it was the last time.

Zhong Huayong choked up and said, "Dad, second uncle and third uncle, grandpa let you in." He didn't say let the two aunts in, so they had to stay outside and wait quietly for news.

This time, several people from the second generation of the Zhong family went in and stayed for a long time, about ten minutes, and then came out. Everyone had a heavy sadness on their faces.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place, no matter how high he climbs and how far he flies, in front of his seriously ill and dying father, he can't help but show the truest side of his heart.

Chen Zhengqian also felt uncomfortable, he remembered his deceased grandparents, and he was like this at that time, standing in front of the hospital bed crying silently and weakly. There are some things that you can't accept, even if you know them to be unchangeable.

But what he didn't expect was that Zhong Huayong's father actually said to him: "The old man let you in." ”

"Huh?" Chen Zhengqian's face was dazed, he didn't react for a while, looking at the eyes of this big leader, he realized that he was saying it to himself, pointed at himself in disbelief, and asked, "I?!"

Even An Ning and Zhong Huayong were shocked, never expecting that when the old man was dying, he would actually ask to see Chen Zhengqian.

Zhong Huayong's two aunts, especially the second aunt, don't mention how jealous they are.

Why?!

Why didn't that old thing look at her as a daughter-in-law when he was dying, did he forget who was usually responsible for taking care of his diet and daily life? And who accompanied him to see a doctor and be hospitalized when he was sick?

For a while, the second aunt looked at Chen Zhengqian's gaze, full of jealousy and resentment.

"Hmm!" Hearing Chen Zhengqian's question, the person from the Zhong family nodded and said, "Come in quickly, don't let the old man wait." ”

Chen Zhengqian was a little confused, and didn't understand how this old man could ask to see him, an outsider.

He pushed the door open and walked into the room, then closed it gently.

Looking at the old man lying on the hospital bed in front of him with a thin face, feeling his faint breath and the passing vitality, Chen Zhengqian gently approached the hospital bed.

"Old man?" Chen Zhengqian shouted softly.

The old man opened his eyes with great difficulty, rolled his eyes, looked at Chen Zhengqian, and asked, "Coming?" The voice was hoarse and low, like a broken bellows.

"Hmmm......"

Chen Zhengqian nodded, answered, and approached the old man: "Old man, how do you feel?"

The old man struggled to squeeze out a smile and said, "Call me General, they all call me like that." After a pause, "I am a soldier of the Republic!"

Although his voice sounded laborious and hoarse, Chen Zhengqian still understood.

"Old general. There was an inexplicable tear jerker, Chen Zhengqian nodded hurriedly and shouted.

The old general smiled: "Sure enough, I'm old." There was a faint sadness in his voice, and the sadness in Chen Zhengqian's heart was spreading.

Although he and this old man have only met for the first time, it is estimated that it will be the last, but these few short conversations have made me deeply impressed by him.

This is a pioneer who deserves his respect!

It's just that this old general is looking for himself, what is it for?

Looking at Chen Zhengqian's face, the old man said, "I guessed right." ”

"Huh?" Chen Zhengqian wondered, guess what?

However, the old man's current state is so bad that Chen Zhengqian didn't dare to say anything casually, so he could only listen quietly.

The old man's cloudy eyes became brighter: "Your momentum is stronger than anyone I have ever seen......

Hearing this, Chen Zhengqian felt a sense of horror and shock. You know, this is the one who has seen the leader......

Chen Zhengqian was worried, he didn't know why this old man, who had come to an end of his life, met him, why he suddenly said such things to himself, and how did he notice his difference?

This series of questions caught Chen Zhengqian off guard.

"True Dragon......"

The old man muttered, "I, can you, please do something......"

Although Chen Zhengqian had a lot of questions in his heart, when he heard the old man say such a thing with great difficulty, he still put on a deferential look: "You say!"

The old man said to him, "There is something in the iron box on the counter, open it and look ......at it."

Chen Zhengqian turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw an old iron box on the top of the cabinet next to him, and he hurriedly took it over and opened it. When he saw what was inside, he was stunned.

"It's—"

Chen Zhengqian looked at the old man and couldn't help asking, "First-class Liberation Medal?"

A gold medallion, lying quietly in a small box.

"Not bad!" said the old man with a reassuring smile.

Chen Zhengqian suddenly became nervous.

The Liberation Medal is awarded by the Republic to the People's Liberation Army (PLA) for those who participated in the war without major negligence during the War of Liberation. The central pattern of the medal is the shining five-pointed red star and Tiananmen Square, symbolizing that our party led the people's armed forces to win the national victory.

The Order of Liberation is divided into 1st, 2nd and 3rd classes. The first-class medal was awarded to the cadres at or above the military level and their equivalents at that time, the second-class medal was awarded to the divisional level and their equivalent cadres at that time, and the third-class medal was awarded to the regimental and battalion levels and their equivalent cadres at that time.

And it is decided by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and personally awarded by the No. 1 head of the country. The first batch of medals was awarded in 1955 and the second in 1957.

I just don't know what year this one was awarded.

So, what does this mean by the old man?

Who knew that the old man said: "In the future, it will be yours." ”

"Give it to me?" Chen Zhengqian was shocked, this thing, for so many years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number is less than 1,000. For a soldier, this is the highest honor.

But the old man actually wants to give it to himself?

To this stranger who met for the first time and didn't even know his name?!

Chen Zhengqian really couldn't figure it out.

The old man didn't explain much, or rather, he didn't have the strength to explain anymore, he just said: "Take this thing and go to the third child, he knows how to do it." ”

The third uncle in his mouth should be Zhong Huayong and his third uncle. Let yourself go to him?

Chen Zhengqian wondered in his heart, could it be that there was any task to be handed over to him? But why him, not someone else?

It is estimated that only then will I know what this old man wants to do.

The old man looked at Chen Zhengqian, and from his eyes, he could see his nostalgia for this world.

He said to Chen Zhengqian: "In the future, the republic will depend on you young people." ”

Chen Zhengqian was silent, and the end of another hero of the republic. It's just that I don't know why, when I heard this, I suddenly choked up a little in my throat, and there was some unknown liquid in my eyes, and I ran out disobediently.

The old man closed his eyes and said, "Go out, I'm tired too......"

Chen Zhengqian straightened up, gave the old general a not-so-standard military salute, and then walked out of the ward without looking back.

He was afraid that when he turned around, he would cry out like he had stood in front of his grandmother's bed. (To be continued.) )
