Chapter 165: Brother-in-law? (2nd Update)
PS: Commuter Pass!! Ask for a commuter pass!!
"Chief! Heads! Are you alright? Seeing the old man's appearance, the middle-aged man Huang Zhizhong hurriedly walked to the old man's side, patted the old man's back lightly and said.
After a while, after the old man's coughing stopped, Huang Zhizhong stared at Ye Fei, you know, the old man's body can't drink, the old man is addicted to alcohol, if the old man is healthy, he always brings some wine, but when he knows the old man's condition, he never brings wine, I didn't expect him not to bring it, but Ye Fei took out a bottle.
After the old man's coughing stopped, he waved his hand at Huang Zhizhong, who was patting him on the back, and gestured.
And after Huang Zhizhong saw that the old man really had no problems, he stopped slapping, helped the old man to stand up, and said, "Chief, you can't drink anymore."
"Hehe, it's okay, can you drink it in the future!" Hearing Huang Zhizhong's words, the old man smiled indifferently and said.
He knows his own body, it is estimated that there are not a few days to live, and there may really be no chance to drink in the future, although the old man knows that he will die soon, but his heart has never been afraid, people who have experienced the Anti-Japanese War know in their hearts that it is completely profitable to live until now, not to mention that the only wish in his heart has also been completed, although it is not ideal, but it is indeed completed, thinking of this, he looked at the tombstone.
After hearing the old man's words, Huang Zhizhong's face also showed a trace of gloom, indeed, the doctor's diagnosis at that time was that the old man only had a lifespan of three months at most, and if he was hospitalized in the hospital, it might take half a year.
They came to tell the old man that he wanted the old man to go to the hospital for a period of time, but the old man was so smart that he naturally understood what they meant, therefore. The old man did not agree to be hospitalized, but planned to go out for a walk, to see the places where he had lived and fought before, and only after he had transferred these places did he go to the hospital.
The old man's children thought about it for a while, and then nodded in agreement, after all, it is difficult to say whether the old man will come out alive if he is admitted to the hospital.
"Chief, you have at least one or two decades to live, how can you not have the opportunity to drink" heard the old man's words. Huang Zhizhong hurriedly spoke.
"Hehe, Zhizhong! You've been with me for twenty years! When the old man heard this, he just shook his head, looked at Huang Zhizhong and said softly.
"Chief, twenty-one years, three months, and eight days!" Hear the old man's question. Huang Zhizhong said without any hesitation.
"Regrets? In a person's life, the best years, accompany me an old man to spend your ideals, your ambitions" After hearing Huang Zhizhong's words, the old man nodded and asked.
"Report to the chief, don't regret it!" Look at the old man in front of him and listen to his words. Huang Zhizhong stood up straight, saluted a military salute and said categorically.
He wanted to express his determination in this way, because he remembered that when he first became the old man's guard. The old man once asked him, 'From a front-line ace field unit, come to me as an old man as a guard, regret it?' He hesitated for a moment before answering the old man's question, but so many years have passed. When the old man asked this time, he replied without hesitation, 'no regrets'.
"Hey. It's time to get back to you! Hearing Huang Zhizhong's answer, the old man sighed slightly and said.
"Chief"
"Okay, don't talk about it, I know my body!" Huang Zhizhong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old man.
Huang Zhizhong wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed slightly and didn't say anything, he decided to come out and take a walk, and felt that the old man should know his condition, at this time after hearing the old man's words, he knew in his heart that the old man did already know, so he could only sigh slightly.
After the old man finished speaking, he picked up the wine bottle and took another sip, this time after he got used to it, he didn't choke, but because the alcohol was very large, his face suddenly flushed.
"Good wine!" After a while, the old man suppressed the surging wine and said happily.
After drinking, the old man's spirits were noticeably better, but of course this was only the reason for the stimulation of alcohol.
"It's exactly the same, it's the same as the burning knife I used to drink! I haven't drunk it in 60 years, and I didn't expect it to be so happy! After a while, the old man sighed.
"Chief, drink less!" Seeing that the old man drank three sips in a row, Huang Zhizhong couldn't help but persuade.
"Hehe, it's okay, it's been a long time since I've been so happy!" When the old man heard his words, he smiled and said, and then picked up the bottle again.
"Old man, wine is such a thing, drink less to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, but drink more but it will hurt you!" Seeing that the old man was still drinking, Ye Fei, who had been standing next to him and had not spoken, shook his head helplessly and said.
For this old man, Ye Fei also had some inexplicable feelings in his heart, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this old man, even if it was because of his age, the appearance of the person had changed somewhat, but the general outline could still be distinguished, but now? Ye Fei was not impressed at all.
"It's okay, I'm happy today, even death is worth it!" After hearing Ye Fei's words, the old man waved his hand at Ye Fei, and said with a smile on his face.
After the old man finished speaking, he broke free of Huang Zhizhong's support and came to the tombstone, looking at the tombstone, the tears that had just stopped flowed down again, and said: "Sister, I finally found you, sixty years, I finally found it, but my parents can't see it."
After the old man finished speaking, he knelt down in front of the tombstone and leaned over and wept bitterly.
After hearing the old man's words, Huang Zhizhong behind him couldn't help but change his face, he had been with the old man for twenty years, and naturally knew some things about the old man, not to mention that the old man was still asking about his sister everywhere over the years, but after all these years, there was no news from the old man's sister.
"Is it in this tombstone!" Thinking of this, Huang Zhizhong looked at the tombstone, and after seeing the name on the tombstone, he nodded silently.
Not only him, but the most shocked person here was Ye Fei, when Ye Fei heard the old man's words, his face changed instantly, and he looked at the old man with a shocked expression.
Ye Fei also knows something about his fiancée Lin Ping's family, knowing that she has a younger brother named Lin Zhan, who is one year younger, and also knows that this Lin Zhan is a soldier of the People's Liberation Army.
Since he and Lin Ping met and fell in love during the war, he did not meet her family, only exchanged a few letters, and the relationship between the two was also agreed to by her parents through letters.
Lin Ping's family did not agree, Lin Ping belonged to a scholarly family, naturally did not want a woman to marry a big old man, you know, at that time, the People's Liberation Army was all mud-legged old and coarse, later, Ye Fei sent several letters to Lin Ping's family, but there was no response, until one day they received a letter from Lin Ping's parents agreeing to their relationship, Lin Ping's parents agreed, in the final analysis, because of Ye Fei's good hand.
Lin Ping's parents are both people, so they naturally look at people by words, they initially thought that this letter was written by Ye Fei on behalf of someone, so they didn't reply, but waited until more than a dozen letters came before they believed it, and after ten letters, Ye Fei's words brought out anxiety, this is the root of their belief, because ghostwriting is ghostwriting after all, and no one is spiritually integrated.
If Ye Fei's words were still decent after more than a dozen letters, without the slightest anger, Lin Ping's parents would not agree to anything.
When they were fighting here, Lin Ping told Ye Fei that her brother was coming here, because his brother was also a member of the People's Liberation Army and happened to be not far from their base, so his brother, as the male of the family, came to help them officiate at the wedding.
But she didn't expect that when her brother hadn't come yet, Lin Ping had already died, and after Ye Fei buried Lin Ping in her favorite place, he left here with the troops, and he didn't expect that after fifty years of dreams, he would come to the present.
Ye Fei looked at the old man kneeling on the ground at this time, and his heart was also very excited, this was the third time he couldn't suppress his excitement in addition to seeing Lin Ping's tombstone and Yang Ling again, but although his heart was excited, his face was still calm as usual.
The old man knelt on the ground and cried, although Huang Zhizhong knew that the old man's feelings could not fluctuate greatly, but he did not stop it.
Although the old man has thought in his heart that his sister may be dead for so many years, otherwise it would be impossible for so many years without any information, but he still did not give up the search, even if what he found was only the bones, he must find it.
He knew about Ye Fei's death, after all, Ye Fei fell into the quagmire and died, which was a big deal for the army, and the old man naturally knew about it, but her sister didn't have a trace of news.
But until now he didn't find it, until he recently learned that there were no days to live, he decided to come out and take a look, he didn't expect to accidentally see his sister's grave, although it was just a grave, but he believed that he would not be mistaken, the words on it were exactly the same as the words of the letter sent by his brother-in-law at home, and the name was completely correct, which he couldn't believe it.
Gradually, the old man stopped crying, and slowly stood up, when the old man stood up, a stumbling almost fell, after all, the old man's body is now very weak, and the emotion has gone through strong fluctuations, so now he can hold on to the present, or because of the stimulation of alcohol.
"Do you know the origin of this tomb, young man?" The old man stood up, looked at Ye Fei who was standing next to him and asked.
"This tomb? The villagers of Hekou probably know better! After hearing the old man's question, Ye Fei did not answer, although he knew, but did not answer, but looked at the villagers of Hekou Village, who were re-erecting a monument to their ancestral grave at the foot of the mountain.
"Zhizhong, help me down!" After hearing Ye Fei's words, the old man turned to Huang Zhizhong and said.
When Huang Zhizhong heard this, he hurriedly helped the old man and walked down the mountain, but Ye Fei stood still and did not move, when he saw the old man go down, he turned to look at his fiancée's tombstone, and muttered: "Ping'er, this is your brother!" Your family has come to see you."
