Chapter 740: Home
The four soldiers carried Xie Guohui's urn and slowly walked into the Hall of Honor, solemnly placed him on a table in the main hall, and then slowly withdrew from the Hall of Honor. The rest of the www.biquge.info gradually dispersed after Xie Guohui's ashes entered, and Jiang Hao will personally attend tomorrow's funeral. This is Jiang Hao's habit, in the past, when he was in the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade, as long as Jiang Hao was not on a mission, Jiang Hao would participate in this kind of funeral.
In recent years, the international community has become strained in the inter-state relations. Because of the limitations of nuclear weapons, no country dares to brazenly provoke other powers, so they can only compete with each other in secret. Not only are there constant conflicts between them along national borders, but there are also constant conflicts and firefights in Africa and the Near East and the Middle East. Therefore, the special forces of various countries are frequently dispatched, and casualties are inevitable. This is also the reason why people continue to enter the special forces, but very few people retire normally.
After Xie Guohui's ashes were put back in the Hall of Honor, Jiang Hao was ready to go to Xie Guohui's house, no matter what, Jiang Hao had to tell Xie Guohui's grandfather and younger brother the news. They are Xie Guohui's closest relatives, and they have the right to know the news. Maybe Jiang Hao told Xie Guohui's grandfather and younger brother the news that Xie Guohui had died, which was a great blow to them, but Jiang Hao couldn't hide it indefinitely, so Jiang Hao was so hateful to tell them the bad news.
Xie Guohui's home is in a relatively remote rural area in Jiangsu, and in recent years, as Xie Guohui has continued to send money to his family, although his family is not rich, it is relatively good. After all, with Xie Guohui's allowance, Zhang Kun has given some compensation. It was already noon when Jiang Hao arrived at Xie Guohui's house, although Xie Guohui's information had his address, Jiang Hao didn't know which one it was, and only found Xie Guohui's home after asking others.
Xie Guohui's family, only Xie Guohui's grandfather was at home alone at this time.
"Second uncle, second uncle, just now there were two officers in military uniforms at the entrance of the village who were inquiring about your family?" A middle-aged man in his forties had already run over to report the news to Jiang Hao before they arrived at Xie Guohui's house. Xie Guohui's grandfather was cleaning up the vegetables in his yard at this time, and stopped his movements after hearing the middle-aged man's words.
"Officer?" Xie Guohui's grandfather was a little puzzled, how could an officer come to their house at this time.
"Well, they'll be coming over right away!"
"That's ..........."
"Is Grandpa Xie at home?" Grandpa Xie Guohui only said one word, and Jiang Hao's voice sounded from outside the door.
"In, in?"
"Grandpa Xie, we are Guohui's comrades-in-arms, and we came here today because we have something to tell you!" Jiang Hao tried his best to calm his voice.
"Then the second uncle, I'll be busy first!" said the middle-aged man, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
"Alright, then you can get busy first. They were all Xiaohui's comrades-in-arms and hurriedly sat in the house. Grandpa Xie Guohui put down the tools in his hand as he spoke, led Jiang Hao and them into the house. Although Xie Guohui's grandfather is older, his body is quite tough, but he has a full head of white hair. Xie Guohui's home is a new house, and the house is very bright, so it can be seen that this house should not have been built for a long time. There are only a few simple pieces of furniture in the house, but all the appliances you need are available. Seeing this, Jiang Hao's heart was a little relieved, he said that he would not let the country's heroes shed blood, and he would cry later.
"Xiaohui, did you make a mistake in the army?" Grandpa Xie Guohui asked a little worriedly. Xie Guohui's grandfather was also a soldier back then, so he had a deep affection for the army, which was an important reason why he supported Xie Guohui when he wanted to be a soldier.
"No, Guohui not only did not make mistakes in the army, but also made meritorious contributions. Speaking of this, Jiang Hao didn't know how to continue, facing Grandpa Xie Guohui's wrinkled face, Jiang Hao really shouldn't say anything. Although he has experienced the life and death of many comrades-in-arms, he has also experienced this situation many times. But this time Jiang Hao didn't know what to say, Jiang Hao didn't know if the white-haired old man could withstand this cruel blow.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Jiang Hao's appearance, Grandpa Xie Guohui had a bad feeling in his heart, it seemed that what Jiang Hao was going to say next was not a good thing, but the old man didn't believe his feelings.
"......" Jiang Hao opened his mouth, not knowing how to speak.
"Is something wrong with Xiaohui?"
“……”
"Don't worry, I can bear it!" said Grandpa Xie Guohui, with a hint of tremor in his voice.
"Guohui died a few days ago in order to protect people and block the enemy's grenade in the line of duty!" Jiang Hao seemed to have exhausted his strength to tell the bad news. At that time, Jiang Hao's mental power was constantly observing Grandpa Xie Guohui, and if he found an abnormality, he would treat him immediately. Grandpa Xie Guohui's face immediately changed when he heard Jiang Hao's words, his originally somewhat dark face turned very pale in an instant, and his body sitting on the sofa seemed to start shaking, Jiang Hao was ready to treat him immediately if the situation was not right. Grandpa Xie Guohui's body shook twice and was about to fall, Jiang Hao quickly stood up and helped Grandpa Xie Guohui.
"Grandpa Xie, how are you?" Jiang Hao said as he spoke, and his mental power was constantly surging towards Grandpa Xie Guohui's body, although he couldn't absorb much, but it could also relieve the old man's body.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I can still resist this little thing, I resisted Xiaohui's parents when something happened, I don't worry. Grandpa Xie Guohui shook his head and said that he was fine.
"I'm sorry Grandpa Xie, I didn't protect Guohui!"
"No, it's not your fault. When Xiaohui was a soldier, I knew that there might be such a day, and I was ready for it at that time. He died for his country, and he did everything a soldier could do. I am proud to have a grandson like him. Grandpa Xie Guohui's words were sonorous and powerful, Jiang Hao knew that Grandpa Xie Guohui was a veteran, Jiang Hao was in awe of this veteran in his heart, not everyone can do this.
"What about Xiaohui's ashes, can you divide me in half so that he can always be with me!" Xie Guohui's grandfather's voice was very flat, but Jiang Hao could hear the tremor in the blandness.
At this time, Jiang Hao didn't know how to speak at all, he didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth several times in a row, he felt that he couldn't comfort this venerable old man with any words at this moment, and all the words were blocked in his throat and couldn't be spoken. Although Jiang Hao could think of the grief in the old man's heart, he couldn't comfort the venerable old man with any words. Jiang Hao had already thought of such a scenario when he made the decision, and on the way here, Jiang Hao had been thinking about how to persuade tactfully, but when it came to the end, he didn't know what words to use.
The entire living room fell silent, only the sound of the old man constantly inhaling, Jiang Hao knew that the venerable old man was trying to make him appear calm. But the trembling hands betrayed the old man's unquiet heart, and no one without such an experience could understand the old man's grief. Xie Guohui's grandfather was indeed not peaceful in this life, he married Xie Guohui's grandmother after he was discharged from the army, and Xie Guohui's grandmother passed away not long after Xie Guohui's father was born. Then one person dragged Xie Guohui's father to grow up. However, when Xie Guohui was a teenager, his father and mother were in a car accident, and now Xie Guohui has also sacrificed for the country. Jiang Hao was very worried at this time, not worried about the old man's body, but worried that the old man's heart would not be able to withstand this blow.
The calm living room was quickly broken by the voice of Grandpa Xie Guohui.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I can still withstand this blow, I'm fine!" Grandpa Xie Guohui's voice was very powerful, and he didn't seem calm like the trembling he had at the beginning. Jiang Hao didn't speak, just looked at Grandpa Xie Guohui worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm really fine! I now have a request to be able to give me half of Xiaohui's ashes, I want him to be able to stay by my side all the time, and be able to see him again when I'm alone!"
"Grandpa Xie, don't worry, I agree to your request on behalf of the troops!"
"Where is Xiaohui now?"
"It's still in our station, we want to invite you to our station this time!" Jiang Hao didn't say it explicitly, but Grandpa Xie Guohui understood what Jiang Hao meant.
"And when are we leaving?"
"Is it okay to go now?" Jiang Hao was a little worried.
"Well, you wait for me, I'll clean up my things!" After the old man finished speaking, he didn't wait for Jiang Hao and the two of them to react, so he stood up and walked towards the back, which was the direction of the bedroom. Jiang Hao's mental power has always paid attention to the old man, although she is very calm, but who can really let go of this kind of thing. The old man gently closed the door, and then a very suppressed cry came from inside. If it weren't for Jiang Hao's very sensitive hearing, he wouldn't have been able to hear the old man's suppressed cry at all. The old man quickly came out of the room, bringing only a small backpack.
"Grandpa Xie, do we need to pick up the National Day?" Jiang Hao asked softly.
"Go, Xiaohui is no longer here, and it will all depend on the National Day in the future, he should know about this matter!"
