Chapter 134: Grandson
It was already cold, and the old man did not stay in the courtyard any longer, and there was a long row of white ice picks hanging from the bare branches of the grape trellis in the middle of the yard.
Yun Yi's eyes swept casually across the courtyard, still familiar to the scene, many years ago, the old man retired and moved in.
When he was a child, he also came a few times, since he went to Linhai, he came less, but he came twice after being a soldier, and now looking at all this, it is still so familiar.
didn't speak, followed Uncle Tong across the courtyard, and before entering the main room, he heard the sound of Peking Opera coming from inside.
It should be a radio, the old man likes to listen to this, his footsteps paused slightly, he knew that the old man was inside,
Once came here like this, was brought into the room, the old man looked at him with relief and said: "Yun Yi, be worthy of the country and the military medal!" ”
The majestic confession still echoes in my ears to this day, but now that I am here again, all that remains is silence.
"Come in!" Uncle Tong saw that Yun Yi was standing at the door and did not move, so he greeted.
Yun Yi's eyes cleared, nodded, and continued to move forward.
Entering the main house, there was heating in the room, which was much better than the outside, the old man was wearing an old cotton jacket, lying on a chaise longue covered with blankets, listening to the opera on the radio with his eyes closed, his wrinkled hands were gently patting on his legs, and the whole person seemed to be immersed in the drama.
There was no reaction to the sound of their footsteps, as if they had not heard it.
After Uncle Tong glanced at the old man, he nodded lightly at Yun Yi, and looked at him solemnly, until his calm eyes looked at him, and then turned to leave, leaving this place for their grandfather and grandson.
Uncle Tong went out without waking up the old man, and Yun Yi didn't make a sound, just stood there quietly and waited.
Standing not far in front of the old man, looking at the old face, looking at it, his eyes were slightly blurry.
"Yun Yi, put down the gun!" The old man's voice was majestic.
At that time, the old man had a serious face and a tall body, like a mountain in front of Yun Yi, Yun Yi only needed to press the detonator lightly, he could be freed, and take these people who sent them into the trap to hell together, but looking at his grandfather, the detonator in his hand couldn't be pressed.
His eyes returned to clarity again, but what he saw was just an ordinary old man who was almost eighty, and there was only one identity left, his grandfather.
Yun Yi finally bowed slightly and said softly, "Grandpa! ”
The old man, who was originally beating his hand, suddenly paused, opened his eyes and looked at Yun Yi, he already knew that he was coming.
Not only did Yun Yi not see his grandfather clearly, but he also couldn't see his grandson clearly. What has happened recently is too far from what he remembered Yun Yi.
But I finally heard this grandpa, and it seemed like a long time had passed since the last time he opened his mouth to call grandpa.
It seems to be the time of the Security Bureau, since that time, Yun Yi has never taken the initiative to contact him, nor has he called grandpa, this once ordinary name, even the old man feels like a world away now.
Yun Yi's weight in his heart is obviously different from others, he used to be the pride of the entire Yun family.
The original scene seems to be still in front of him, the stubborn eyes and tall body, the old man still remembers it vividly.
Looking at the elegant and indifferent Yun Yi in front of him with peaceful eyes, the old man sighed slightly in his heart: "Here, sit down!" ”
Yun Yi nodded, and came to the chair opposite the old man and sat down.
The room was quiet again, except for the Peking Opera on the radio, which was still babbling and singing, and the two men were silent.
Yun Yi looked at the old man who seemed to be listening attentively to the play again, and said softly: "I came today to report to you, and it will be my wedding in a few days, what instructions do you have?" ”
The old man nodded, reached out and took the radio, turned the volume to the minimum, looked at Yun Yi and said softly, "Do you still hate me?" ”
didn't answer Yun Yi's words, but the old man asked this question again!
Yun Yi raised his head and looked at the old man's eyes, his grandfather's eyes were very calm, as if he had gone through the vicissitudes of the world and looked down on the peace after the world.
This is not the first time this question has been asked, the first sentence of the old man in the hospital was the same, and now the old man asked again, it can be seen that the old man cares in his heart.
Yun Yi is not a white wolf, he thinks about the problem from a different angle, standing in the position of the old man, he is not wrong, he is not only burdened with the Yun family, he is burdened with family affection, he is even more burdened with the country, for this cause that their generation has personally built, and fought for, lifelong responsibility.
Several times, sending his grandson into danger, how can he not worry in his heart, but whether it is faith or responsibility, he can only make such a choice.
As a white wolf, he can't say that he hates the old man, but there must be resentment, but he still understands the old man's heart, so he can only end in tragedy from beginning to end.
As Yun Yi, he looked at the old man, still like the hospital, shook his head and said, "I don't hate you." ”
The old man nodded, looked at his grandson, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, his face was wrinkled, and the old voice said softly: "It's good not to hate!" ”
didn't explain much, only this sentence seemed to be said to himself, and it was said to Yun Yi, maybe it was just a long sigh.
The old man looked at Yun Yi calmly, with no waves in his eyes, and finally retracted his gaze and said, "I still remember that back then, when I sent you to be a soldier, you were unwilling." ”
Yun Yi nodded and said, "Yes, I was going to college at the beginning. ”
If he hadn't confessed to Zhou Ting at the beginning, he might not have gone to the army so easily, although he would still go in the end, but maybe there wouldn't be so many things later.
The old man slowly got up from the recliner and looked at Yun Yi and said, "Actually, I didn't think that you would go to the special combat team, I just thought that the children of the Yun family still had to go to the army." ”
Yun Yi nodded, it was indeed he who took the selection by himself, and because of this identity, there were some twists and turns.
"Later, when you were on a mission for the first time, the military region greeted me, and I agreed, and at that time I said, other people's children are soldiers, and my Yun family's children are also soldiers!"
"You went, it took a full eleven days before you came back, and many of you came back, and at that time, I read the letter of praise given to you by the military region."
"You got better and better in the army until you wore a medal and became the youngest guardian since the founding of the country."
"Later, you all successfully completed the tasks again and again, until I suddenly received news last year, Ah Tong told me that something happened to you!"
"In fact, from the day you carried out the mission, I have been prepared and prepared for this day to come."
"At that time, I received the news, and I was also sitting here, and I thought of many of my old comrades-in-arms, who sacrificed themselves, sons, elder brothers sacrificed younger brothers, and no one was left in the last family."
The health care doctor came in, interrupting the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, and the old man finally looked at Yun Yi and said, "If you get married, let's do things with peace of mind!" ”
Yun Yi silently walked out of Wangfu Mountain, he didn't talk much on the mountain, basically listened to what his grandfather was saying, but the words made Yun Yi's heart twitch constantly.
This trip seems to be very ordinary, but it is actually a human exploitation.
Whether it was to the old man or to him, from the old man's words, he was also worried and sad, but in the face of responsibility, he had long been prepared for his grandson's sacrifice.
Because that is his belief, the white wolf is also ready to sacrifice a long time ago, if it were not for special reasons, the blow to him was too big, and he really sacrificed on that battlefield, he would have no regrets.
The reason why Yun Yi came was because he couldn't let go of his responsibilities, because he could die, but what about his parents, can they also accept their son's departure?
Will parents be able to withstand such a blow? I can't bear it.
This is also Yun Yi's positioning for himself, the white wolf is loyal to the belief in the army and the country calmly dies, and he inherits his belief in protecting his family.
But is that really the case? Then why listen to the white wolf's past and listen to the old man's heart, but he is so uncomfortable, so inferior, and maybe ashamed......
He shook his head, as if he wanted to shake off the heavy burden in his heart, but to no avail.
When passing by a café, Yunyi stopped the car and sat in the car for a while before getting out of the car, looked at the back, and then walked into the café and ordered a cup of coffee.
Looking at the people coming and going outside the window, there are all kinds of people, office workers with briefcases, couples holding hands, and elites talking with friends.
These people all have their own lives, but Yun Yi thought that he was destined to have two lives.
A woman suddenly sat down on the seat opposite, Yun Yi didn't pay attention, still quietly looking out the window.
The woman looked at him without looking back, and after a few hesitations, she still spoke: "Yunyi, we need your help." ”
Two months ago, it was also this sentence, Yun Yi hung up the phone at that time, and his emotions almost lost control.
And today it was still the same sentence, but Yun Yi did not react in the slightest, and still looked at the street where people came and went without speaking.
Liu Xia actually wanted to come to him this morning, she knew Yun Yi very well, she knew that she shouldn't come to him, and the bureau didn't mean to look for him again.
But as Liu Xia personally, the pressure she faced was getting bigger and bigger, and she couldn't help it in the end.
Even if you know some more details from Yunyi, maybe it will be able to play some role, and after a few hesitations, I finally decided to give it a try.
This is related to the safety of many people's lives, and she believes that Yun Yi will not ignore it in this situation, so she came, even if there is little hope!
Yun Yi slowly turned his head, looked at Liu Xia's eyes flashing slightly, and said softly after being silent for a long time: "What I know has already been told to you, and there is no reservation." ”
