Chapter 201: A Man's Responsibility
found a housekeeping company to help Li Yingjie hire a nanny, a girl about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, although she has no culture, but from the chat, you can see that the person is very real, Zhang Yang was originally going to leave the money for Li Yingjie, but Li Yingjie said that he didn't want anything, saying that he did, Zhang Yang didn't force it, anyway, he came back in five or six days.
It was already noon when he returned to school with the suitcase, and when he saw Zhang Yang coming back, Fang Shaoyun asked strangely, "Why did you go?" What is it in your hand that the gods are chattering on this day? ”
"It's something that my friend asked me to bring with me, I just asked the teacher for leave, and a friend of mine had an accident, and I'm going to attend a friend's funeral, and it may take four or five days to come back." Zhang Yang told Fang Shaoyun again the excuse he had told Wei Wuguang.
"Ah...... In this way, I said, you haven't even seen a figure in the past two days, so when are you leaving? Fang Shaoyun scratched his head and didn't ask more, after all, it's a pity that this kind of thing happens to young people, and everyone can not ask.
Because Li Keqing already knew that Zhang Yang was going out, he came over to help Zhang Yang pack up his things after school in the afternoon, in fact, Zhang Yang didn't have anything to clean up, what surprised Zhang Yang was that when he looked at Instructor Ji Qiang's home address in the afternoon, he was a little stunned to find that Instructor Ji Qiang's hometown was actually in the same place as Li Keqing.
They are all people from Inner Mongolia, and they are all people from Bayannur City, Bayannur City belongs to the Hetao Plain, Zhang Yang has been with Li Keqing in his previous life, but he didn't expect Ji Qiang's family to be from Bayannur City, Bayannur City is also called Linhe City because it is close to the Yellow River.
It is almost half of China from H City, but fortunately, it takes six or seven hours to travel by train from the capital of the autonomous region to Linhe. booked the plane the next morning, Zhang Yang said goodbye to Li Keqing early in the morning and went directly to Li Yingjie, it is estimated that it will not take long to go there, and because he brought more things, Zhang Yang simply did not bring a change of clothes, and simply changed into a military uniform here in Li Yingjie.
Putting on a whole set of military uniforms from the inside out, after tying the tie, looking at himself in the mirror, Zhang Yang couldn't help but narcissistically praise himself, although the whole person has not changed, but after changing into a military uniform, this spirit feels different, if it weren't for Zhao Feicai sending him the military uniform yesterday, Zhang Yang would have thought that he was a soldier.
Every boy has a dream of being a soldier when he is a child, and Zhang Yang is naturally no exception, in fact, until now, this dream Zhang Yang has not disappeared, of course, dreams are dreams, reality is reality, if you really want Zhang Yang to be a soldier, it is estimated that he will not do it if he is killed. "Hehe, okay, yes, pretty handsome, I don't see it, you have a military temperament." Li Yingjie, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at Zhang Yang from behind, and said with admiration on his face.
"That's, don't look at who I am, am I more like a soldier than you Zhao Tou." Zhang Yang proudly looked at the rank on his shoulder, but he was still two cents and one hair.
"Haha, you have to ask Zhao Tou yourself, I think the two of you are eight taels in a radius, and you are quite like that when you are serious, hooligans, I'm afraid the average gangster can't compare to you." Li Yingjie laughed twice and said.
"Yes, then I'll go first, and I'll see you soon, instructor." Zhang Yang waved his hand at Li Yingjie, and then walked outside with the box that symbolized everything about Instructor Ji Qiang. This is the first time Zhang Yang has worn a military uniform on the street, he never thought that he would wear a military uniform on the street, walking on the street, that feeling is very strange, even if the military uniform is fake, but Zhang Yang will still involuntarily raise his head and chest, just like a real soldier walking majestically.
The plane from H city to Hohhot arrived in more than 2 hours, and when Zhang Yang landed at the airport of this northern city, he smiled bitterly and found that he seemed to have forgotten that although H city in November was not cold, the temperature in the north was already very low at this time, and it was already below zero in the morning and evening.
Fortunately, when he left, he was wearing a lot of clothes inside, so he didn't feel the chill for the time being. I went to Hohhot Railway Station to buy a train ticket to Linhe at noon, Zhang Yang casually found a place to eat a few bites, and sat quietly in the waiting hall of the train station.
Until the train check-in, Zhang Yang didn't find out who was looking at him, but the feeling of being stared at never disappeared. Finding his place and sitting down, Zhang Yang did not put down the box in his hand, but hugged it in his arms. Opposite Zhang Yang was an old man with gray hair, kind and kind, and after Zhang Yang sat down, he kept looking at him.
The inland trains are all very old green cars, and there are no EMUs, so the hard-seat cars are naturally not much better.
"How old are you, young man?" After waiting for the train to start, the uncle sitting opposite looked at Zhang Yang and asked with a smile.
"20 years this year." Zhang Yang smiled.
"Just 20 is already a major?" The old man asked in surprise.
"Well...... Because I studied early and had good grades, I was already a captain when I graduated from military school. Zhang Yang didn't explain specifically, but he probably found an excuse, as for what others think, it's none of Zhang Yang's business, what makes Zhang Yang a little curious is that the feeling of being watched is gone.
Zhang Yang is not like Zhao Fei and others, he is not trained from life and death, and he has no keen sense, but the feeling of being stared at by others just now is estimated to be felt by anyone, anyway, someone has been staring at you, as long as it is not a person with big nerves, you can feel it.
The time on the train did not pass quickly, but the time was not too long, and the hours were quickly worn away by Zhang Yang. When I arrived in Linhe City, it was already more than 9 o'clock in the evening, and tonight was definitely not the time to visit, so I found a hotel to stay in, and Zhang Yang took out all the materials of Instructor Ji Qiang and looked at it.
Instructor Ji Qiang is not married, and he has no partner, there is only a pair of old parents in the family, because they are old children, so Ji Qiang's parents are already very old, Ji Qiang sacrificed, and the two old people don't even have a pension to send them to the end.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zhang Yang got up, put on his clothes, and took a taxi to Instructor Ji Qiang's house, Ji Qiang's home was on the edge of the suburbs of Linhe City, and Instructor Ji Qiang's father used the small curtain in front of his small courtyard to open a car repair shop, and life was still alive, and his mother had no formal job, and she usually helped in the store.
Getting off the taxi, Zhang Yang raised his eyes and saw the small car repair shop, which was already full of all kinds of spare parts, and an old man in a yellow military uniform was busy there, it was a very old military uniform, it should be the military uniform when he had just been liberated, but he didn't expect that Instructor Ji Qiang's father was also a soldier.
From the outside, he doesn't look like he is just over 60 at all, and the perennial busy wind and wind make him look much older than his real age, and even his back is a little bent. Zhang Yang just stood there silently watching with the box, he didn't know how to go up and talk for a while, but Zhang Yang knew that although Instructor Ji Qiang died, the two old men might be very sad, but this news must let them know that these things in the box may be the only thought of the two old men.
And I'm afraid that Instructor Ji Qiang hasn't been back for a long time, and the pedestrians passing by around him can't stop casting curious glances at Zhang Yang, while the old man is still busy with his stall, tidying up the parts and tools used to repair the car, and then placing them at the door from the store.
It wasn't until the neighbor next to him walked up to the old man and pointed at Zhang Yang and said something that the old man discovered Zhang Yang's existence and turned his head to look at Zhang Yang. When the old man saw Zhang Yang and the box Zhang Yang was carrying, the old man's body couldn't help but tremble, and a trace of panic appeared on his face.
Zhang Yang was sad for a while, he already understood, I'm afraid the old man had already guessed. In fact, every family member of a soldier is afraid of such a situation, and when a strange soldier appears at the door of his house in full clothes, and his son is not around, there is a great possibility that it is not good news.
The two looked at each other for a long time, Zhang Yang slowly put up the box in his hand, then held it in his hand, and slowly walked towards the old man. Zhang Yang knew that it was cruel, but he had to go again, and after walking two steps, Zhang Yang's eyes turned red.
Walking in front of the old man, Zhang Yang asked softly, "Are you the father of Brother Ji Qiangji?" ”
"I ...... I am, little comrade...... My son...... He...... What happened to him? The old man's voice trembled a little.
"Ji ...... Brother Ji...... He died. Zhang Yang had red circles in his eyes and held back for a long time before he finally said this sentence.
"Bang", a crisp sound came, Zhang Yang followed the sound and looked over, at the door of the small shop behind, an old lady with the same gray hair, a plastic water cup in her hand also slept on the ground, the tea in it was slowly sprinkled on the ground, Ji Qiang's instructor's mother opened her mouth, and before she could say a word, the whole person fell to the back.
Zhang Yang hurriedly put down the box in his hand, rushed over and helped Instructor Ji Qiang's mother up from the ground: "Auntie, Auntie wake up." ”
"Old woman, old woman, are you okay? Hadron is gone...... If you have three long and two short...... What can I do? Instructor Ji Qiang's father also ran over quickly, and said with an anxious face.
"I called an ambulance." Zhang Yang quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, if something happened to the old man, Zhang Yang had no way to explain to the instructor who had died.
The phone was quickly connected, because Instructor Ji Qiang's information contained the address of his home, so Zhang Yang easily reported the address here. The surrounding neighbors also quickly came over, everyone comforted the old man, and it could be seen that Ji Qiang's family had lived here for a long time, and the feelings of the neighbors got along well, and everyone already knew the news brought by Zhang Yang, and everyone was a little embarrassed.
When the ambulance came, it was simply rescued. The old man woke up, sent the ambulance away, and Zhang Yang entered the house. Zhang Yang had already opened the box and taken out all the things inside, Ji Qiang's parents were crying while holding the contents of the box, and the neighbors in the house were also touching their tears, and Zhang Yang's tears couldn't help but flow.
"Little comrade...... Can you tell me how our strong son was sacrificed? Ji Qiang's father cried for a while, and then looked at Zhang Yang and asked.
Zhang Yang walked to the bed and squatted down, looking at Ji Qiang's father's face, Zhang Yang wiped his tears, and said seriously in a hoarse voice: "We sacrificed to save me when we were on a mission." Uncle and aunt, don't worry, Brother Ji is gone, I will be your son in the future, and there are 12 comrades in the same class, we will all be your sons in the future, this time they have no way to come to see you because the mission has just ended, in the future, we will take care of you. ”
Zhang Yang said word by word, this is not only Zhao Fei's voice, but also Zhang Yang's voice.
Zhang Yang's words directly made Ji Qiang's parents hug him and cry again, until the neighbors in the house were afraid that the old man would cry badly, and kept persuading, the two old men finally stopped crying. "Child, what's your name? Can you tell me about the situation when Ji Qiang died? After stabilizing his emotions, Ji Qiang's father looked at Zhang Yang and asked.
"Uncle, my name is Zhang Yang...... hesitated, and finally Zhang Yang still said that the situation was concealed at the time, although the truth of the matter let the two old men know that it was nothing, but after all, there were other neighbors around, and it would be troublesome if this matter was spread.
After listening, Ji Qiang's mother began to cry again, but Ji Qiang's father stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Yang's shoulder, and said softly: "Child, I've suffered you, although Ji Qiang sacrificed, but don't be sad, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid you guys wouldn't be able to come back, although I was born a few years later and haven't beaten the devil, but I have beaten the Yankees, speaking of which, I am also a soldier, I can understand Ji Qiang's choice, I am proud of him!" Anyway, at least my son died, and he died under the flag, and that's something I'm proud of. ”
The old man said, and on the other hand, he was in tears. Speaking of which, whose children are not the meat of their hearts? After settling the two old men, Zhang Yang stayed here, as a substitute for Ji Qiang, dinner was made by Zhang Yang, and the two old men had no appetite, but they still reluctantly drank a bowl of porridge under Zhang Yang's words.
"Uncle and aunt, there are a total of two million in this card, which is the pension of Brother Ji Qiang, you take it, Brother Ji Qiang can't take care of you in the future, so we will take care of it, and these uncles and aunts will be at your disposal, you can do anything. As for your lives, we will take care of it. Zhang Yang did not take out the 500,000 yuan card given by Zhao Fei, but directly used the mobile banking of his bank card to remit another 1 million into the 1 million card.
This money is not compensation, but just hopes that the two old people can live a better life. Ji Qiang died to save him, so Ji Qiang's parents should be publicized to support him
