Chapter 387: The Motherland Will Not Forget (2nd Update)
The large-scale dance "The First Day of Soldiering" opened the curtain of the large-scale celebration party of the Kyoto Military Region.
Everyone in the room was familiar with the scene in the dance. As the dance begins, reminisce about your youthful recruit period.
Regardless of whether the military age is a year, a few years, or more than ten years of soldiers, with the dance, reminiscing about the past, I feel a little embarrassed in my heart, remembering the immaturity of the past, and sighing like water.
The shocking power of the special earthquake relief dance made the officers and soldiers who went to the disaster area fall into the memories of that special time, and made the soldiers who did not participate in the front line deeply realize the power of their military uniforms.
The atmosphere of applause and solemnity was contradictory in the auditorium. It is different from the previous large-scale performances, and it is different from the mobilization meeting at the end of the year.
Summer never thought that she would be on stage again and pick up the microphone to sing, this time she could stand on the stage and sing solo, it was an opportunity, if it wasn't for the persuasion of Captain He, she wouldn't be standing in the center of the stage.
Head He pinched a handful of sweat. It's a risk to use Summer, after all, she is not a professional singer in the art troupe, and there are flaws in the vocal interpretation of this song, but he just believes it.
For the first time, he heard Xia standing under the poplar tree in the courtyard of the military region and looking up and singing, and what moved him was not the sadness emanating from Xia, not the loneliness she trapped in her memories, but the voice of others who were talking, missing, and telling the hearts of their comrades who had sacrificed themselves.
But when he found Xia and asked her to perform this performance, Xia had personal emotions, she rejected it, and she said very honestly: "Captain He, I'm afraid of breaking the sound." It's not singing. It's the fear of an emotional breakdown. ”
Head He went back with the lyrics and music scores he had memorized in the summer, and in the end he turned back to find the summer, and he only pressured him when he was about to take the stage just now:
"Sing it for them, they or her, if they are still there, they must have no regrets about their choice at that time."
Standing alone in the center of the huge stage in the summer, holding the microphone in both hands, she did not have the performance skills when she was on stage in the 142nd Regiment, just an ordinary female soldier's military uniform, and the military uniform wore a personal third-class military merit medal.
She looked far away, looking to the back. Calmly opened his mouth and sang:
"In the vast sea of people. Which one am I;
Which one am I in the rushing waves?
In the army that conquered the universe, I am the one who silently dedicates;
In the galaxy of the Republic, I am the one who will always shine;
I don't need you to sing my praises. I do not desire you to repay me;
I have melted my youth into the rivers of the motherland.
The mountains know me. Jianghe knows me. The motherland will not forget, will not forget me. ”
From the closed door of the aircraft cabin into the darkness, standing in the back of the liberation truck eating canned food, the three of them walked through the disaster area with a medical kit on their backs, until Li Tong fell into her arms and swallowed her last breath......
Summer reminded herself to forget it after leaving Tangzhuang, and then she simply sealed that memory. But at this moment, my mind is full of the scene at that time......
Li Tong's mother sat in the audience and pulled the sleeve of the old military uniform of the veteran and her husband who had retired from the army next to her: "This is the summer that Tongtong wrote a letter to. ”
Li Tong's father had a wooden face, "Hmm." He always kept a straight face, didn't dare to let himself have other expressions, endured his sadness, no expression, no words, wouldn't it be a big man who couldn't control himself from crying bitterly......
Li Tong's mother had been crying and crying since she received the news from the secretary of the brigade in the countryside, until now, she has seen people vaguely.
Tongtong's good friend and comrade-in-arms, she couldn't write a few words about herself every time, so she chattered others. There is summer, there is Liu Yun, and there is Ye Boting.
She can't write, and she never participates in replying to letters, but she remembers every letter from her daughter, and she treasures them in the box on the kang, hoping that she will come home......
Tongtong, it's a long way home, isn't it?
……
It was the first time for Song Yaping to cry on such an occasion.
Her son told her that she was scared to see so many dead people in the summer......
The actual internship in the hospital in the summer is only one month......
In the summer, a good friend, a friend who used to fight side by side, died......
The son said, Mom, fifty yuan, how long does it take for a recruit? Her good friend gave it to her in order to keep her private money from going to Kyoto, and she didn't send money to her parents in the countryside during the Chinese New Year......
Summer went to see me and carried the warm clothes and pants that I gave her, and Summer put her in her heart, but she fell in front of Summer......
Song Yaping remembered her daughter Ye Boting and yelled, "Please don't ask." ”
Fighting side by side, fighting gangsters, eating and drinking together, meeting in the best years, treating each other the most seriously, they are still very young, twenty years old.
Song Yaping had to rely on herself to keep blinking her eyes to hold back her sore nose and tears.
Zhai Yuanfang took a deep breath, turned his head sideways into Ye Boxuan's ear and said, "I just finished receiving the medal and can't stand this sensational method." Your daughter-in-law is so harmful. Then he changed his military style, just like he sat on the kang when he was young, and he twisted his nose and rubbed it under the stool.
Ye Boxuan forgot about his cleanliness, his brows did not wrinkle, and he muttered to himself in a low voice: "What can I do to make you heal." ”
Liu Yun squatted behind the scenes, covering her face with her hands, crying like a child who had lost his cherished toy, Shen Mei squatted beside Liu Yun and patted Liu Yun's shoulder: "Makeup, make up for it." The next show has you. Alas! ”
Summer always held the microphone tightly with both hands and sang, and after singing the last sentence, she let her eyes wet with tears......
"Auntie......" Xia said while dragging Li Tong's mother's slightly rough hand.
"Let Auntie guess. You are Summer, you are Liu Yun. ”
Liu Yun suppressed herself, the four of them stood in the courtyard of the military region, she had a lot of things to say, but she really met, but she didn't know what to say.
Xia saw Li Tong's mother keep wiping her eyes and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with your eyes?" ”
Li Jianye and Li Tong's father straightened his back, and only then did he show his first smiling face since he came to Kyoto: "Thank you, girl, your aunt can't see clearly with her eyes." ”
Thank you Xia and Liu Yun for anything, Li Jianye can't say clearly. But he wanted to thank his daughter on behalf of him.
Li Tong's mother grabbed Xia and Liu Yun's hands tightly, and suddenly asked with some eagerness:
"We can't stay in the military district for a long time, and in a moment we are sent to the station en masse. Auntie has something to ask you for. ”
Xia half-squatted down, looked directly at Li Tong's mother, and replied very simply:
"Auntie, you say."
Li Jianye turned his head to look to the side, and finally burst into tears after two days of endurance, and before Li Tong's mother opened her mouth to please, he turned around and walked a few steps away.
"Auntie wants to adopt a girl."
With an ordinary sentence, Liu Yun instantly hugged Li Tong's mother.
Adopt a girl, girl, Li Tong, did you hear that?
Your mom loves you so much...... (To be continued......)
