Chapter 655: Memorial Service
Hearing the old man's words, Tang Luo's heart trembled again.
"Don't blame it, no one blames it, that baby's life is not good!"
The old man shook his head, and there were tears glittering in his cloudy old eyes.
"Uncle ......"
Xiang Chuan wanted to comfort the old man, but he shouted, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
He can't understand the pain of 'white-haired people sending black-haired people', but the pain of losing his comrades is unforgettable!
At the beginning, he personally selected the iron pillar from among the recruits.
This rural kid from a remote area is not the smartest, but he is the hardest-working!
For example, once when I split bricks with one hand, the iron pillar went down with a palm knife, and the bricks did not crack, but the bones of the hands were cracked.
This incident spread throughout the entire garrison area at that time, and almost became a joke.
But a month later, during an audit, Tie Zhu split six bricks at once, almost breaking the record of their garrison!
This time also shocked everyone, including Xiang Chuan.
You know, a month ago, he couldn't even break a brick, and he hurt his hand!
It was also from this incident that Xiang Chuan noticed this child from the countryside.
It wasn't until later, after he incorporated the iron pillar into the Sword Special Combat Team, that he learned by chance that he had been practicing secretly for a month and had broken a lot of bricks!
Now, Xiang Chuan doesn't know if he was right or wrong to include the iron pillar in the Sword Special Combat Team in the first place!
If he hadn't been confiscated, Tie Zhu might have been discharged from the army long ago, and he would have returned to that piece of yellow earth and lived a peaceful life, and naturally he would not have been sacrificed!
Can...... Is that the life that the iron pillar wants?
No!
"Leader, can I ask about something?"
The old man wiped the corners of his eyes and asked.
"Uncle, just call me by name, I'm not a leader, I'm just like the iron pillar, I'm your child, the people's child. ”
Xiang Chuan said seriously.
"No, no, you are the leader, when Tiezhu wrote to me, he told me, saying that the leader was good to him. ”
The old man held Xiang Chuan's hand.
"We are comrades-in-arms, but also brothers. ”
Xiang Chuan said in a deep voice.
"Uncle, what did you just ask?"
"I ...... Can I bring the pillar back?"
The old man asked hesitantly.
"Take it back?"
Xiang Chuan was stunned.
"Well, I'm afraid that this baby is far away from home, and I want to take him back...... In this way, when I am gone, it will be easy for my father and son to meet. ”
The old man nodded.
"This ...... Yes, but uncle, he can enter the martyr's cemetery. ”
Xiang Chuan thought for a while and said to the old man.
"Martyrs' cemetery?"
"Well, the Martyrs' Cemetery, this is an honor, and if he stays in the Martyrs' Cemetery, there will be many comrades-in-arms to accompany him. ”
Xiang Chuan nodded.
"Listen to your uncle. ”
Suddenly, Tang Luo spoke.
"People have sacrificed, and it is right to pay attention to the roots of the fallen leaves. ”
Xiang Chuan looked at Tang Luo, and then at the old man.
"Uncle, then think about it, and tell me when the time comes! If you want the iron pillar to go back, you can do it. ”
"Hmm. ”
The old man nodded.
"Dad, ...... to the captain"
A woman in her forties came from the side.
"This is Tiezhu's second sister. ”
Xiang Chuan introduced Tang Luo.
"Hmm. ”
Tang Luo nodded and said hello to the woman.
Later, he met with the parents of six other people.
Everyone's face was full of sadness, and there were two old ladies with tears on their faces.
When Tang Luo saw this scene, he was also very uncomfortable.
He thought that he had seen too much life and death, and he also looked down on life and death.
However, at this time, he realized that he still couldn't look down!
"Old Xiang, I have an idea. ”
Tang Luo looked at Xiang Chuan and said.
"What?"
Xiang Chuan asked strangely.
"I want to come up with a sum of money as a pension and give it to them. ”
Tang Luo looked at Tiezhu's father and the others and said.
"Pension?"
Xiang Chuan was stunned.
"Well, no matter how much pension they have received, I would like to show my heart for some. ”
Tang Luo nodded.
"Iron pillars protect their families and defend the country, people cannot be resurrected after death, but the living must continue to live, and they must live better. ”
"This ......"
Xiang Chuan looked at Tang Luo and wanted to say something more.
"Don't say no, I'm just doing what I want to do. ”
Tang Luo shook his head.
"Everyone, I'll give you a million. ”
"Okay, then I'll thank you on their behalf. ”
Xiang Chuan thought about it and didn't refuse again.
"Actually, I originally planned to give each of them an extra 200,000. ”
"Well, you don't have to tell them, let's just say it's a state pension. ”
Tang Luo nodded and said slowly.
"Good. ”
Xiang Chuan agreed.
Subsequently, Tang Luo took out his mobile phone and transferred seven million to Xiangchuan's account, which he distributed to seven families.
Time passes minute by minute.
"Captain, Captain Hao is here. ”
The silver wolf came in from outside and said to Xiang Chuan.
"Okay, I'll be right over. ”
Xiang Chuan nodded.
"Old Tang, let's go and meet together?"
"I'm not going, I'm going to talk to the old man. ”
Tang Luo shook his head.
"Good. ”
Xiang Chuan nodded and left alone.
And Tang Luo also came to the old man and chatted with him.
Almost half an hour later, the memorial service was ready to begin!
And at this time, the whole hall is also overcrowded!
Seven crystal coffins were placed in the center.
On the table not far away, there are seven black and white photos, some of whom look a little immature.
However, this immaturity has been frozen since then!
Their parents and relatives also came from other rooms, and several women cried when they saw the crystal coffin.
They all know very well that this is the last side.
Goodbye, never again!
"Xiao Xiang, let's start. ”
A man in his fifties, dressed in a military uniform and carrying a star on his shoulder, said to Xiang Chuan.
He is the commander of the Zhonghai Garrison District, with the rank of major general!
"Good. ”
Xiang Chuan nodded and nodded to the host.
The memorial service began.
Tang Luo didn't come forward, but stayed in a corner.
He tried his best to be an outsider and send them off for the last time.
Soon, to Xiang Chuan to deliver a memorial speech.
He walked slowly onto the stage, without any drafts, and spoke slowly.
It's not flashy, but it's real.
He talked about the daily life of the seven sacrificed comrades, and there were cries from the relatives seat.
Even the members of the Sword were reddened in their eyes and trembling slightly.
In an hour or so, the memorial service ended.
Tang Luo slowly breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his gaze from looking at the seven crystal coffins.
They are covered with red flags, which is what they want to protect when they are alive!
After the memorial service is over, it is time to move on to the next step.
In the hall, there was a cry.
Tiezhu's father lay in front of the crystal coffin and looked at his son carefully.
This is the last side.
"Baby, do you want to go home with your father?"
The old man's voice trembled, and the old tears were rampant!
