Chapter 48: The Past (1)
Zheng Heping looked at the tombstone and gently stroked the black and white photo on the tombstone.
It's a distressing feeling to watch.
I put the flower in my hand in front of the tomb. A respectful bow is considered to be a respect for the deceased.
Zheng Heping took out a bottle of wine and two cups from his bag, placed the cups in front of the tomb, and poured the wine into the glasses.
I thought for a moment and said, "This gentleman in the photo is so handsome." ā
"Hmm!" Zheng Heping nodded, "He is the best in our regiment." ā
Zheng Heping looked up at the sky and sighed and said, "If time can be turned back, I hope that I will know me when I left at that time."
I knelt down in front of the grave and tidied up the flowers.
Zheng Heping must have seen that I wanted to hear his story, so he raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass, and spilled the other glass on the ground.
"Our dream back then was simple: to serve the name of man! When I was a child, I wanted to study hard, get out of the mountain village, and see the outside world. ā
"My parents divorced early, I moved back to my hometown with my mother, at that time divorce was simply spurned by thousands of people, I was also bullied, every time the children in the village bullied me, he would help me drive them away, slowly we became good friends, I told him what I saw in the city, he said that he must be admitted to the city school. From where we contracted the top two in the class. ā
Zheng Heping paused and looked at me, and I nodded to signal that I was listening carefully.
"When we were in college, we were in high spirits. Looking forward to a bright future. The dream of persistence is to serve the motherland and save the life and help the wounded. Experiments, research projects sometimes have a tortuous process, but the results always come together. He has a dark complexion but is handsome, and there are many girls in school who like him. At this point he seemed to think of something, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Because of the girls, we have also had oolong." Zheng Heping shook his head and smiled helplessly.
I looked at Zheng Heping and laughed, and I laughed along, "What oolong?" But I think you thought you should have been handsome when you were young! ā
"I'm not as tall as him." Zheng Heping said with a smile.
I nodded, it is true that Zheng Heping is not high.
"What kind of oolong is it?" I asked.
"That girl, who wrote a love letter, was actually for him. He took it apart and put it on the table, and I saw it, and I thought it was for me. He asked me to rent a suit, and he said that he also rented one, but he was embarrassed at the time, and he didn't say that he was going to meet the girl. As a result, we both rented the same one, and when we arrived at the agreed place, not to mention how embarrassing it was. ā
I covered my mouth and smiled.
"Your relationship is really good! I envy this kind of friendship that can't even be separated from love," I said.
"No, almost scattered." Zheng Heping said, "After we met, we didn't meet the girl, and we sat on the side of the road angrily. After a while, he said, "If you like it, you can go," and I said I didn't know it was written for you. After a stalemate for a while, we decided to decide who would go based on our test scores. Of course he didn't test me. Zheng Heping drank another glass of wine and spilled a glass.
"And then." I asked.
Zheng Heping put down the wine glass, poured it and continued: "Then when I went to look for the girl again, I realized that the girl had already found a boyfriend during the competition between the two of us. ā
"It's such a pity to miss it!"
Zheng Heping nodded.
"Later, I found out that he had actually written for almost all the boys in the class."
"Then why just give you two a letter?" I asked.
Zheng Heping said, "I thought that his father's envelope was thrown away, but in fact, there was no envelope at all, and there was no signature."
"Did he deliberately lose to you?" I asked.
Zheng Heping nodded, "He has always taken good care of me." ā
Zheng Heping sighed. looked at Ren Aimin's photo affectionately.
"I think whether it's friendship or love, after being together for a long time, those feelings will slowly turn into family affection." I looked at Ren Aimin's photo and said.
"Now that I think about it, if he hadn't taken care of me like that, maybe nothing would have happened." Zheng Heping drank a glass of wine and poured a glass of wine.
His face became solemn.
"That year, we both graduated from college and were assigned to intern at the hospital. After a period of internship, the hospital was transferred to the mountainous area to support. I was the first batch and he was the second batch. I had a bad stomach for two days because of a bad stomach, and I wanted to be lazy for two days and didn't want to go to the first batch, so I changed with him, and the difference between the first batch and the second batch was two days. I was actually selfish at the time, and there was a doctor I liked in the second batch. I also saw my mind and readily agreed. ā
Zheng Heping stared straight at the tombstone. It seems that the longer you see the time, the more you can go back in time.
"When I heard the news, I was happily asking the girl I liked to buy something. Several villagers disappeared in the mountains that day, and their families came to ask for help. The rescue team searched and rescued overnight, and Ren Aimin felt that he had grown up in the countryside and had good physical fitness, so he walked in front with the rescue team. When he found them, their vital signs were not obvious, he volunteered to carry the wounded down the mountain, but the road conditions in the mountain were not familiar, and it rained lightly in the middle of the night, he fell with the wounded, and the wounded man was saved. And Ren Aimin was crushed to death in order to put him under him! ā
Saying this, tears welled up in the corners of Zheng Heping's eyes. My heart was also sour.
"It's disgusting that the rescued people didn't even say a word of thanks." Zheng Heping wiped his eyes with his hand and said, "I also complained that Ren Aimin carried the wounded man and crushed one of the wounded's legs." ā
"The village's leg needs to be amputated, and they came to the rescue station to make trouble, asking for compensation, saying that the rescue is not good. When I heard that he had died, I froze and didn't feel anything.
When I arrived overnight, I saw his bloody face. Iā" Zheng Heping choked and swallowed his saliva. "The village is still messing around for money. And he just lay there cold. ā
Zheng Heping choked his hands over his face. "I didn't believe for a long time that he left, we came back from support, we can come to country M for further study, that place is difficult to get, we said that we want to get the same score, when I heard that we could both go abroad, he picked me up! I've never seen him so happy for a long time, and he said he was going to find a foreign daughter-in-law to show his mother. I want to take my mother to country M to see what it looks like outside. ā
"When you hear their voices, you shouldn't be dead or blind!" Zheng Heping looked at Ren Aimin's photo and said, "I came today to tell you that I saw that those people's consciences were discovered." They voluntarily contributed their bodies for medicine, and I took their cells, cultured their limbs, and stitched them up. I was so happy to see them suffering. Actually, I know the success rate is zero. I did it on purpose, you won't blame me! ā
"What do you mean?" I don't understand the rest of the words.
"Don't you hate them?" I asked, "Those who are ungrateful, don't you refute them?" ā
"What's the use of rebuttal? That's our job, and Ren Aimin is not only not respected but also criticized. Zheng Heping said.
"You must be sad, you guys are really great!" I looked at Ren Aimin's photo and said.
"So I came to country M, gave up my ideals, my beliefs, and bought my life with money!" Zheng Heping looked at Ren Aiming's photo, "I know you will call me selfish, but what can I do if I don't?" I can't kill them. Stay away from the sad place. Take you here, this place where money is respected. ā
Zheng Heping drank all the wine in the bottle.
"What do you mean when you say they volunteer their bodies?" Nanli suddenly asked.
"There is such a group of people, ungrateful, or selfish people who don't know how to be grateful, donating their mutilated bodies to the research institute to conduct experiments, and I am the chief surgeon." Zheng Heping said.
"How do you know they're voluntary? How can a selfish person volunteer to contribute? Nanli asked.
"They're also good, they've got new limbs." Zheng Heping put away his wine glass and said.
"Will the surgery be a success?" Nanli asked.
"The sutures were definitely successful. But in the end, it will be very painful due to rejection. ā
"You already knew," Nanli asked.
"Hmmm! Know. I still know this about studying medicine. Zheng Heping said.
"Do you think it's upset for them to go to the cemetery?" I asked.
"It's a punishment for them, right?" Zheng Heping said.
"Is it not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years?" I asked, "You're used to being a little physically handicapped at such an age, right?" ā
Actually, I know that what I'm talking about is not a group of people that Zheng Heping said. I looked at Nanli, who raised eyebrows at me. I know I'm right this time.
Zheng Heping shook his head and said, "Retribution is not for one person, I am for that kind of person." ā
