Chapter 182: A Long-cherished Wish
When the people along the way saw the black and white plaque on the truck that read "Sending the martyrs home", they all stopped unconsciously and looked at the hearse with solemn expressions......
The hearse slowly drove into the military airfield and stopped at the ramp of the military transport plane. The commander of the Changbai Military Region personally stood by the plane.
Dean Wan, Wan Lin, and Xiaoya jumped off the hearse, and after raising their hands to salute the commander, Dean Wan grabbed the commander's hand and said with tears in his eyes: "You, why are you here in person!" ”
The commander shook Dean Wan's hand tightly, walked to the truck, raised his hand and saluted with a solemn expression, then took off his military cap and bowed deeply three times. He straightened up, took a deep look at the urn on the car, and slowly said to Dean Wan: "I'm here to send my brothers and send them home!" ”
He turned around and glanced at the warriors lined up in front of the hearse, and commanded in a loud voice: "All of them, stand upright, salute!" ......, send the martyrs on the plane! ”
Seeing the soldiers with black hoops wrapped around their arms and white flowers on their chests holding the martyrs' urns and marching on the plane in a procession, Commander Lu clasped Dean Wan's hand and said, "I have ordered that the money be transferred to the account of your military region according to the standard of 50,000 yuan per martyr. When you return, please distribute this money to the relatives of each of my brothers for me. They sacrificed their lives for the country in the defense area of our Changbai Military Region, and we, like you, have the responsibility to contribute to their families! ”
Dean Wan didn't speak, and shook the commander's hands a few times......
The transport plane returned to Military District A with the ashes of the martyrs. Major General Gao Li personally led the honor guard of the military region to welcome the martyrs back at the airport, and then escorted them to the martyrs' cemetery for burial.
Commander Zhong Hanrui of Military Region A personally attended the burial ceremony and presented condolences to the bereaved families of the martyrs on the spot.
The whole burial process was solemn and solemn, Dean Wan did not shed any more tears, he sent his comrades-in-arms to the mausoleum with a smile. His brothers are finally home, and they are no longer in the wilderness! He, decades of long-cherished wish finally come true!
At the request of President Wan, the logistics department of the military region specially placed a clothed grave for Lu Mingjun, the former deputy company commander who had not found his bones, which was the same as the tombstones of his comrades-in-arms around him.
After burying the rest of his comrades-in-arms, Dean Wan personally came to the tomb of Deputy Company Commander Lu Mingjun and took out a small sandalwood square box made by himself from his pocket, which was the only one for Lu Mingjun
A relic, an old Swiss Omega watch.
He knelt silently on the ground, gently put the sandalwood box into the tomb, and muttered: "Good brother, I have brought all my brothers back, don't worry." Brother will give you a ride at the end! It's been more than forty years in the blink of an eye, and my brother is already full of gray hair, so you just wait for me over there, I guess it won't be a few years, and I will meet my brothers. Hehe, wait for me! ”
Dean Wan's face was unusually calm, but Xiao Ya and Wan Lin and the others behind were already in tears, Xiao Ya bent down and silently helped her father up, and gently closed the tomb lid with Wan Lin......
Li Dongsheng also drove from the base to attend the funeral of the martyrs. After the solemn and solemn burial ceremony, Li Dongsheng took Wan Lin and Xiaoya to Wu Hanyu's cemetery by the way. Wan Lin looked at the photo of Wu Hanyu smiling at him on the tombstone, and tears welled up at once. Xiaoya silently placed a handful of flowers in front of the tombstone.
Li Dongsheng took out a handkerchief and wiped Wu Hanyu's tombstone, and said with a smile: "Old Wu, your apprentice saw that you were here, and he saw who he brought you." This is Xiaoya and Xiaohua, you know, you don't know this, this is Xiaohua's daughter-in-law Xiaobai, they have a son. Huh"
Wan Lin wiped a handful of tears and hugged Xiaobai to the photo of Wu Hanyu on the tombstone: "Master, is Xiaohua's daughter-in-law beautiful?" ”
Xiaobai seemed to know that he was praising it for being beautiful, so he quickly stretched out his two front paws to his face and wiped them a few times, stared at Wu Hanyu in the photo with two round leopard eyes, and poked his head out to stick out his tongue to add a few photos, as if he knew that this was a good friend.
After watching Wu Hanyu, Li Dongsheng drove Wan Lin and the two back, Li Dongsheng said: "We have successfully completed the task of Changbai Mountain, everyone is very hard, I specially asked Commander Zhong for instructions to give everyone a few days off." Let's take a break. I didn't expect the commander to boldly give everyone a month off, 30 days! I can't close my mouth for a long time", Li Dongsheng said and laughed, as if the mouth was not closed.
"What?" Wan Lin and Xiaoya stood up "rubbing", forgetting that this was a moving jeep, "knock" and "knock" twice, and the heads of the two of them hit the roof of the car in unison.
"Ahh Li Dongsheng glanced at the funny appearance of the two little things lying on the driver's platform, and laughed out loud with an unabashed "haha".
Li Dongsheng parked the car directly in front of the gate of the Army Academy, and asked with a smile: "Xiaoya is home, how do you arrange Wanlin?" ”
Wan Lin hesitated for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, I have to go back to see my grandfather during such a long vacation." I'll go back to the base with you first to prepare," he said, looking at Xiaoya.
Xiaoya smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back with you to see grandpa, and I want grandpa to guide me." You've decided to call me", and walked into the academy gate with Xiaobai.
Wan Lin and Li Dongsheng returned to the base, and Zhang Wa, Dali and Cheng Ru surrounded them. Li Dongsheng saw this group of people coming around, said hello and walked away. He knew that he was here and everyone was restrained.
Seeing the captain leaving, Zhang Wa shouted: "Wan Lin, we have discussed." You go home first, let's go home and go around and look for you", Wan Lin replied with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait for you at home to make food!" ”
At this time, Lingling ran out of the dormitory, and shouted from afar: "Wanlin, where is Xiaoya?" Wan Lin hurriedly said loudly: "It's a holiday, Xiaoya is going home."
Lingling ran this way, muttering: "As a sister, you threw me home alone, and took Xiaobai away!" Stinky girl". She ran to Wan Lin, stared at her two eyes and asked with a smile, "Brother Wan Lin, when will you see grandpa?" I'm going to see the old man, too."
Zhang Wa shouted on the side: "Come on, you still go and see the future husband and old woman", Lingling didn't react for a while, opened her eyes and asked Zhang Wa, "Where are the old husband and old woman?" ”
Several people laughed "coaxing", and Qi Qi stretched out his right hand to point at Cheng Ru, and shouted in unison: "Their family." Lingling, who had just reacted, blushed, muttered back: "Early" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that something was wrong, how could a big girl with yellow flowers say that.
