"Cut, even the name and surname are called, there is no sincerity at all!" Li Siqing expressed contempt for Lu Ruorong, "Are you a little numb?" You should say something like: Hanhan, I am so moved, and I am willing to be the enemy of the world for you. Okay, okay, don't look at me like that, the next time you go on a date, I won't be in front of you. ”

Lu Ruorong and Chen Zihan looked at each other and smiled, and did not tease Li Siqing again.

After a while, Li Siqing suddenly thought of something, raised his head and asked Chen Zihan: "Senior Brother Chen, what are your arrangements for this year's winter vacation?" ”

"Of course, I go home to accompany my parents, I am a filial son." Chen Zihan looked at Lu Ruorong with a smile, "What, do you have other arrangements?" ”

"I made an appointment with Rong'er to go to Jinling for a few days during the winter vacation, and then go around Gusu, Guangling, and Runzhou. When the Chinese New Year is approaching, they will go home separately. Li Siqing said quickly: "It's not too far from Qiantang to the past, Gusu, Guangling, Runzhou and other places are enough to play for a day or two, and when you come back in a circle, you can almost go home for the New Year." Will you come with us? ”

Chen Zihan hesitated after hearing this, and finally said embarrassedly: "I'm going to Jinling in December!"

"Going to Jinling in December?" Li Siqing was very surprised, and after glancing at Lu Ruorong, she immediately asked, "Who did you make an appointment with to go to Jinling to play?" ”

Lu Ruorong didn't ask anything, just looked at them calmly.

After Chen Zihan hesitated for a moment, he said truthfully: "Over the years, in December every year, I will accompany my parents to Jinling. ”

"Why?" Li Siqing was surprised, "Who are you going to visit?" ”

Lu Ruorong seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to hang the victims?" ”

Chen Zihan glanced at Lu Ruorong in surprise, and then nodded lightly, "Every December, our family will go to Jinling to pay respects. Because I have relatives who died in that war!"

Li Siqing and Lu Ruorong were stunned when they heard this.

Li Siqing, who was surprised, immediately asked: "Who is you?" ”

Chen Zihan hesitated a little longer, and finally explained the situation in general.

Chen Zihan's mother, Huang Xiaojuan's grandfather, was a soldier in the Chinese army at that time in the thirties.

He was a captain officer who was part of the most elite Central Teaching Corps of the time.

In December 1937, when the Japanese army attacked Jinling, the Central Teaching Corps guarded Yuhuatai.

When the Japanese army attacked Yuhuatai, he was unfortunately killed by shelling.

The battle was so tragic that tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers died under the artillery fire and butcher's knives of the Japanese army.

Most of those who died on the battlefield did not have a chance to be buried.

Huang Xiaojuan's grandfather is the same.

Huang Xiaojuan's grandmother gave birth to two daughters for her husband.

When the war began, her husband, who was from a traumatic ancestral home, asked her to return to her hometown with her two daughters first.

Eventually, my grandmother returned to her hometown with her two daughters and never left the place again.

It wasn't until three years later that she learned that her husband had died heroically in the defense of Jinling.

When she learned of her husband's death, she was devastated.

She did not remarry, but went incognito in her hometown and raised her two daughters.

Not many people know that her husband participated in the defense of Jinling and was martyred in the war, and he never encountered trouble in the special era.

At the end of the 70s, Huang Xiaojuan's grandmother died of illness.

She was buried on a hill behind the village, facing north.

Before she took her last breath, she repeatedly instructed her descendants to bury her husband's ashes or remains together if they had the opportunity to find them.

The two daughters kept their mother's will in mind and were always looking for their father's remains.

They have been running for many years, but to no avail.

They had only seen their father's name in the list of the dead, and no one knew where he was buried.

Huang Xiaojuan's mother is the second daughter, and her sister died of illness in 1997.

The search for his grandfather's ashes or remains fell to Chen Zihan's grandmother, Huang Xiaojuan's mother, and several descendants of the eldest sister.

But as time passed, the chances of finding my grandfather's ashes or remains became slimmer.

Unable to find their grandfather's remains, they went to Jinling to pay their respects.

In the past few years, around December 12 every year, the family would go to Jinling to pay respects.

Before Chen Zihan was reborn, He Yingrong, Huang Xiaojuan and others still went to Jinling Yuhuatai every year to pay respects.

Huang Xiaojuan's mother passed away in 2015, and before she died, she still remembered her mother's instructions before she died.

She felt guilty that she had not fulfilled her mother's last wish.

She asked Huang Xiaojuan and other relatives to go to Jinling every year for them to pay tribute to her father, and say sorry to their father under Jiuquan on behalf of their two disdainful daughters.

It's 2001, Huang Xiaojuan's mother, Chen Zihan's grandmother, is still alive, and they will definitely go to Jinling to pay tribute to Huang Xiaojuan's grandfather.

"I'm definitely going to go with them!"

Hearing Chen Zihan talk about this in a slightly low voice, Lu Ruorong and Li Siqing were stunned.

Li Siqing stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, Lu Ruorong turned his back and wiped his eyes with a tissue before turning his head.

"It turns out that your ancestor participated in the defense of Jinling and died in that war!" After Li Siqing wiped his eyes, he said to Chen Zihan very seriously: "You descendants, you still remember the ancestors who died in the war, and you go to pay tribute every year, which is so moving. ”

"I heard that during the defense of Jinling, the teaching corps inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army, but unfortunately the whole army was wiped out in the end." Lu Ruorong bit her lip and looked at Chen Zihan, and said very seriously: "Your great-grandfather is a hero of the Great Patriotic War, you should be proud of him." ”

"Now we dare to be proud of our ancestors, but we didn't dare before!" Chen Zihan tried to squeeze out a smile, and said embarrassedly: "Let's not talk about this topic, okay?" ”

"You should indeed accompany your parents to Jinling to pay respects." Li Siqing looked at Lu Ruorong and whispered, "Why don't we go over at that point in time?" ”

Lu Ruorong was suddenly a little entangled, and finally she said vaguely: "Let's see when the time comes, there are still nearly fifty days to go." ”

She didn't think about seeing Chen Zihan's parents now.

Chen Zihan understood the reason for Lu Ruorong's entanglement, and immediately followed her meaning and said: "It's really early, let's see when the time comes." It's also a good idea for you to go to Jinling during the winter vacation, and it's even better if it's snowy. Qiantang is a very embarrassing place, it doesn't necessarily snow every year, sometimes even if it snows, the snow is not big. ”

"If you want to see the snow, it's good to go to Yanjing, or the Northeast." Lu Ruorong smiled.

Li Siqing is also a smart person, and he didn't touch that heavy topic again.

When sending Li Siqing and Lu Ruorong back to school, Chen Zihan also gave them a clear answer: "If you want to go out to play during the winter vacation, then I will try to find time to accompany you and be your photographer throughout the whole process, right?" ”

Li Siqing smiled: "You have to bring a boy, otherwise I will always be your light bulb, which is too embarrassing." ”

"No problem!"
