"If no one in the old Chen family can inherit this, I would rather the old Chen family never die."

This is the inner confession of a dying old man.

It also represents the deep helplessness of the elderly.

Because...... He knew very well that when the times are different, the thinking will be different, and it is impossible for him to change this era and change people's minds by himself.

No one person has been able to do that

Unless, he, is God

At this moment, looking at the sun, the old man who was trembling, shedding old tears, stubbornly and painfully straightening his spine, including Chen Fan, everyone shed tears of emotion.

Especially the soldiers who were in charge of standing guard.

In the three months of the most difficult recruits who first entered the army, they did not cry; Far from home, away from their parents, they didn't cry; But...... At this moment, they cried, crying profusely

"Old lady, don't worry, I am a member of the old Chen family, I am your descendant, I am a soldier trained by the squadron, I will keep this in mind" Chen Fan did not wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, but stared at the old lady Chen's old face wet with tears with red circles, and said word by word: "I don't know how I should go in the future, but ...... As long as the motherland and the people need me to stand up, it is my duty to do this, my promise to you, and the oath I made to myself when I left there"

"Good, good, good" Hearing Chen Fan's words, Mrs. Chen smiled, smiling like a child rewarded by his parents, he laughed and shed tears: "Child, you didn't disappoint my old bones and wait for one day to come down in the future, I can pat my chest and report to the chairman and the prime minister, I, Chen Guotao, have not lived in vain in this life, even if I die, there are people in the old Chen family who have inherited my blood and inherited the spirit of those **pioneers"

Maybe he was too excited, or maybe he was talking too fast, after the words fell, Old Lady Chen coughed again, and his breathing became extremely short.

Seeing this, "Old Lady" Chen Fan's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support Old Lady Chen, and at the same time gently patted Old Lady Chen on the back.

Chen Zhan also walked over with a worried face.

And Susan, who was completely moved, saw this sudden scene, subconsciously ran over, and asked worriedly: "Old lady, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Ahem...... Cough...... I'm fine...... It's okay, silly boy. Old Lady Chen tried her best to adjust her emotions, then patted Chen Fan's shoulder, let go of her hand, kindly stroked Susan's head, and said with a smile: "Good girl, from now on, you will be from my old Chen family."

"Old lady, I know, I'm still waiting for you to officiate for us at that time." Susan replied obediently.

"Haha, when you get married, I will definitely officiate the wedding for you" Old Lady Chen laughed, but a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in his eyes.

It's bleak, it's hidden deeply...... Very deep......

So deep that no one noticed

"Okay, silly boy, don't patronize talking to me, a bad old man, take Miss Su to talk to your parents." After laughing, Old Lady Chen set her eyes on Chen Fan.

Chen Fan nodded, and was about to say something, but heard Chen Zhan say, "Fan'er, take Shanshan to the car and talk." ”

"Hmm."

Chen Fan had no objection, he knew very well that some words were indeed not suitable for this occasion.

Subsequently, Chen Fan took Susan and accompanied Mrs. Chen and Chen Zhan and his wife on the extended red flag.

Originally, an ordinary car could not fit so many people, but the extended red flag was long enough and spacious enough to be able to sit down.

As several soldiers saluted and watched, the elongated red flag turned back and gradually disappeared from their field of vision.

"You guys, follow me" Just as the long red flag turned and disappeared, a car suddenly drove in front of it, and an officer of no lower rank jumped out of the car and ordered several soldiers standing guard with a serious face.

At the same time, another car approached, and several soldiers stepped out of the car, replacing the soldiers who had been standing guard before.

……

In the car, Chen Fan sat next to Sun Yaling, held Sun Yaling's withered hand, smiled and said to Susan: "Shanshan, this is our mother." ”

"Mom, this is the daughter-in-law you think about day and night, I brought it back for you."

After that, Chen Fan introduced Sun Yaling again.

"Shan...... Shanshan, come, come here, let Mom see. Hearing Chen Fan's introduction, Sun Yaling motioned for Susan to sit closer.

"Mom." Without the slightest hesitation, Susan willingly shouted out this word that could only be shouted after marriage, because ...... From the moment she felt that she fell in love with Chen Fan, she was destined that in this life, she would become Chen Fan's wife, and she also knew that the woman in front of her would become her mother-in-law.

After that, Susan held Sun Yaling's withered yellow hand at the same time, just like Chen Fan, and the two of them guarded Sun Yaling like guardian saints.

Mother......

Hearing this word, Sun Yaling was shocked, her eyes were completely red, and tears couldn't help but slide down from her aging face.

Her gaze at Susan was filled with the love of her elders, as well as the indelible self-blame and guilt

Because...... She knew that Susan in front of her was a stand-in for the girl who was buried in the loess before she was born

However, it was the identity of this stand-in that determined Susan's fate

In a sense, this is unfair to Susan, and similarly, the Chen family owes Susan too much...... Too much......

After returning to the innermost compound of the military region, Old Lady Chen did not selfishly let Chen Fan and Susan continue to stay with him, but asked the two to chat with Chen Zhan and his wife, and he returned to his residence with a pale face accompanied by the guards.

"Chief, you don't look very good, I'll call the military doctor now to come and check you." Back in the hall of the two-story building, the guard slowly helped Mrs. Chen to sit down, and said with a worried face.

Old Lady Chen shook his head: "No need, little pillar, I know my body myself." ”

"No, chief, you have to do a check, your complexion has been too bad recently" As Old Lady Chen's guard, Xiao Zhuzi saw the changes in Old Lady Chen in the recent period, and he felt that Old Lady Chen's body was not as good as before.

He also knew very well that two years ago, Mrs. Chen couldn't afford to get sick because Chen Fan left Longya, and as a result, he was diagnosed with lung cancer in the hospital. Fortunately, due to Mrs. Chen's regular check-ups, the condition was in the early stage, not very serious, and was cured smoothly.

After Mrs. Chen was discharged from the hospital, the doctor was supposed to check Mrs. Chen's body once every three days, but Mrs. Chen was too troublesome, so she decided to do it once a month.

Because Mrs. Chen herself is a very stubborn person

"It's against you" Stunned to hear Xiao Zhuzi's words, Old Lady Chen became angry at the moment: "You chirp to Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu will destroy you with one shot"

"Chief, if you insist on insisting, I'll tell Chen Fan......" Xiao Zhu said with a straight face.

Tell Chen Fan?

Old Lady Chen was shocked, her fierce eyes glared, and she shouted, "You dare?? ”

"Chief, even if you shoot me afterwards, I'll go" Xiao Zhu looked firm.

"Little rabbit, I still don't believe in evil......" Old Lady Chen's face turned cold, and she subconsciously made a gesture of pulling out her gun, but she was empty......

With his current status and age, he naturally won't be equipped with a gun.

At this touch, Old Lady Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and then had to stare at the little pillar with fierce eyes.

If Xiao Zhuzi was glared at by Old Lady Chen like this, he would have been so frightened that his legs would have weakened, but today he surprisingly did not avoid Old Lady Chen's gaze, but greeted him directly, and it felt as if he was saying: Chief, look at it, if you don't agree, I will tell Chen Fan

Obviously, Xiao Zhuzi knew very well that if Chen Fan came forward, he would definitely be able to convince Old Lady Chen.

Because...... Chen Fan is the only weak place in Old Lady Chen's heart

"Your mother's, Lao Tzu has never been threatened since he joined the Red Army, you kid dares to threaten Lao Tzu" Old Lady Chen scolded angrily, and then sighed helplessly, and said: "Okay, you go and call the military doctor, but there is a precondition: it must be kept secret"

Must be kept secret?

Could it be that the chief himself has realized something?

The little pillar was shocked, and the worry in his eyes was even stronger.

"Did you hear that?" Old lady Chen was stunned when she saw the little pillar, and she snorted.

Xiao Zhuzi hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes, chief"

An hour later, a military doctor over 50 years old, standing straight in the study, his eyes were red, and he looked at Mrs. Chen with a worried face, wanting to say something, but his mouth was open, but he couldn't say a word for a long time.

"I know my own body, so you don't have to hide what to say." Seeing the worried expression on the military doctor's face, Old Lady Chen looked calm.

The "chief" military doctor said with tears in his eyes, biting his lip: "The cancer cells that disappeared in your body have reappeared, and they have completely spread ......."

"It's late, isn't it?" Old Lady Chen smiled indifferently: "Lao Tzu knows that there is no help, so he is too lazy to check." ”

"Chief, actually...... There is still a way, and at present, a new technology has been developed in the United States to cure patients with advanced cancer, and there is a certain chance of cure. ”

", let Lao Tzu go to Lao Mei's territory to see a doctor? I don't know if I'll die on the territory of Lao Mei, you fucking let me go down, how to face the chairman and the prime minister? "Old Lady Chen didn't have a good air.

"But...... The chief ...... "what the military doctor is trying to say."

"Not so much, though." Old lady Chen waved her hand impatiently: "Lao Tzu only tells you one, if this news spreads, it will cause a series of chain reactions, and the impact is so great that it is not at all what you can imagine, so you keep it strictly confidential to Lao Tzu, if the slightest rumor is revealed, Lao Tzu will ask you, have you heard??" ”

"Chief" tears slid down the face of the military doctor.

"Smack"

Old lady Chen slapped the desk suddenly, got up and shouted angrily: "Answer Lao Tzu, this is an order"

"It's the chief" The military doctor burst into tears, gritted his teeth, and spat out three words with difficulty.

"Okay, get away from Lao Tzu, you're fifty years old, and you're still crying like a girl, it's really useless." Old lady Chen saw that the military doctor agreed, and scolded with a smile.

"Whew~"

The medic gritted his teeth and finally exited the study.

Seeing the military doctor leaving, Old Lady Chen lay comfortably on the rattan chair and said with a smile: "Brothers, Lao Tzu knows, you are all jealous that Lao Tzu has stayed on it for too long, and he can't go down to drink with you. But...... Have you ever thought about it, if Lao Tzu doesn't stay there for a few more days, how can he report to the chairman and the prime minister on the current situation of our new China? ”

"But ah, don't worry, I'm going down, well, it's going to be ......."

When the words fell, Old Lady Chen did not have the slightest frustration and fear on her face, only a happy smile.

At this moment, he seemed to see the scene of reuniting with those brothers in life and death after going down......

I also saw the envious eyes of those brothers when I reported to the President and the Prime Minister......
