In the open space below the residential building of the dilapidated machinery factory, a non-commissioned officer of the first phase of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Army stood at the entrance of the building, and opposite him stood seven or eight young men of the same age, all of which were mature or killed, and a small car was parked behind them. ∽ ↗ top ∽ ↗ point ∽ ↗ small ∽ ↗ said,

There was a burst of excitement and confusion, mostly complaining about Li Mu, because no one knew the news of his enlistment in the army, until everyone hadn't seen him come to his house for a long time, so everyone had a lot of complaints.

Now that I have come back to visit my relatives, I have been quiet, and everyone's opinions have become bigger.

Li Mu had to wave his hand and said, "The old man is gone, and I only have a few days of vacation when I come back for the funeral." ”

The brothers stopped talking, and looked at Li Mu with wide eyes, and their hearts became heavy. The old man of the Li Mu family was very familiar to everyone present, and even a few of the old man helped take care of him when he was hospitalized.

This person said that it was gone, no wonder Brother Mu didn't look high.

Among several people, the leader is called Liu Huaqiang, some are called Brother Qiang, and some are called Lao Qiang, he drives a Mitsubishi Pajero that is estimated to be about the same age as him, but in this small circle, when Li Mu is not there, he is the boss, and his prestige is unmatched.

"When?" asked Liu Huaqiang.

"Yesterday. Li Mu said, "Qiangzi, brothers, you go back first, I'll take care of the old man's aftermath first, and I'll look for you when I get back." ”

"What bullshit. Liu Huaqiang couldn't help but scold, "The old man's funeral, you excluded us?" Li Mu, don't forget, the old man was hospitalized last year, and I guarded the old man for a week, is it appropriate for you to do this?"

The others excitedly agreed, and they absolutely couldn't agree to Li Mu's arrangement.

There were signs of fried hair, and Li Mu was embarrassed.

He is in the army, and there are a few brothers at home to take care of, especially the old man, especially Liu Huaqiang and a few brothers around him who usually do the most frequently, the old man is gone, and it stands to reason that they should be sent away.

But Li Mu didn't know what the customs in the countryside were.

"Stop arguing. Li Mu said, "I went up and asked my father, there are some customs in the countryside that I don't know." ”

"You go!" Liu Huaqiang waved his hand.

Li Mu went upstairs.

Liu Huaqiang turned around, glanced at everyone, pointed at a tall young man, and said, "Rui, you and Xiaodong will go to the mall immediately to wear black suits, according to the head and size, you will send it to Rui's mobile phone." ”

Rui and Xiaodong nodded repeatedly.

Over there, Xiao Hui, who was the most well-dressed, immediately took out his wallet and took out a card and gave it to Rui, "The card is for you, there is no password." ”

"Okay, let's go. Rui and Xiaodong drove a white SUV.

Liu Huaqiang thought of something again, and ordered, "Go back and change to a black car." As he spoke, he pointed to the other two people, "Both of you also drive back, if you have a car, change to the black one, forget if you don't have it, the white color can't follow." ”

"Good!" the crowd moved.

Liu Huaqiang didn't care what the result of Li Mu's request was, he was determined to participate.

After a while, Li Mu came downstairs, and the whole family packed up their things and went downstairs to leave for the hospital. Li Honghua thanked Liu Huaqiang and the others, and promised to let them participate in the aftermath of the old man.

In this way, you can't do it simply, but you have to respect the old man's last wishes. In the end, they agreed that they would do it simply in accordance with the old man's wishes, but there should be a momentum. Liu Huaqiang and others joined in, and in fact, the formation was already there.

Without saying much, the group went to the People's Hospital with a heavy heart.

Today's weather is particularly cold, the cold wind is whistling, and the sky is gray, like a heavy curtain covering the sky. It's a good day.

The cold Taiping Army, Li Mu walked in, and the rest of the people were blocked out. To put it mildly, it may be because of the camouflage on Li Mu's training uniform, so the hospital opened the door to let Li Mu go in to see the old man for the last time.

The old man was lying there, wearing an old-fashioned military uniform, and his demeanor was tightly buttoned, and the old man's face was kind, as if he was asleep.

Li Mu stood there and looked at the old man, and at this moment tears poured out like a flood without an embankment. In the past, the scene of coaxing children to sleep flashed frame by frame, but now that it is not needed, the old man has slept forever.

Slowly kneeling on the ground, Li Mu's teary eyes were blurred, and he couldn't see the old man's appearance clearly, but in Li Mu's mind, the image of the old man would always be so clear. The scars on the old man's body, the scars that have lasted from the Anti-Japanese War to the present, and the momentum that is always light.

When Li Mu was a child, about the end of the eighties, he began to remember at the age of two or three, and began to follow the old man, because at that time, Comrade Li Honghua also participated in the movement and mixed into the state unit, and then became a worker, peasant and soldier college student, mixed with a diploma from an agricultural university, when he was a child, Comrade Li Honghua rarely met with children. Therefore, it is the old man who accompanied Li Mu through the most ignorant and naïve childhood.

He had never seen the old man lose his temper, never. The time he remembered the most was when he was in junior high school, the old man was slapped by a middle-aged thug in the village, and the old man didn't mean to fight back at all.

Later, Comrade Li Honghua knew about this, and took a woodcutter and went to find the middle-aged gangster, the middle-aged gangster apologized and apologized, needless to say, it didn't take long for him to go out to work, which was rare.

The old man is such a person, maybe in his eyes, he and they are as ridiculous as children. What kind of person is the old man, that's a veteran who fought with the Japanese devils with bayonets!

Don't be angry, when he was a child, Li Mu mischievously burned other people's firewood, almost causing a big fire, the old man just raised his face and educated him, and Xiao Li Mu was already silent.

Li Mu still remembers that when he was a child, in order to let himself stay at home and study with peace of mind, the old man rode out in the rain to buy rice paper and instructed Li Mu to write calligraphy. Later, Li Mu won a second prize in calligraphy at school, and his interest was cultivated at that time.

The deepest impression of Li Mu was when he was in the second year of junior high school, when Li Mu participated in a brawl, and the injured student lay in the hospital for a month. Comrade Li Honghua made great efforts to exempt Li Mu from criminal responsibility, and the county naturally couldn't stay any longer, so he was put back to his hometown to go to school, and the old man took care of it.

In Li Mu's most rebellious period, he didn't take Comrade Li Honghua's words as a deaf ear at all, and he didn't listen to what he said or taught, but Li Mu couldn't resist the old man's words at all, let alone rebel.

With a sudden brake, Li Mu's misguided life was vividly corrected, and he studied hard for two years of junior high school, was admitted to high school, and then joined the army. The difference is that even if you are in the same mix in high school, it is not at the same level as in junior high school.

What the brothers around him admire about Li Mu is that he never misses any activities, but his grades are still at the forefront of the school.

Looking at the old man who had been sleeping peacefully, Li Mucai deeply felt how much hard work his parents and the old man had poured into his adulthood.

Li Mu's forehead slammed heavily on the cold floor, knocking and knocking, and the heart of the morgue caretaker trembled with the clear and reminiscent kowtow......
