Inside the hospital, the pale and cold corridors are filled with the smell of disinfectant water, and occasionally you can smell the bitterness of the subtle interweaving of illness and medicine. The light was pale and steady, illuminating every anxious face and hurried footsteps. Nurses in white uniforms busily shuttle from room to room, their whispers and hurried walks forming the hospital's unique rhythm.

With nervousness and anticipation, Chu Tian walked into this building full of the intertwined atmosphere of life and death.

His footsteps stopped at the door of the ward, and his eyes penetrated the small window on the door to see Guohong inside.

Hung sat beside the hospital bed, his expression sad and solemn, his eyes glistening with tears, and his face full of helplessness and exhaustion.

Seeing Chu Tian, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, as if she had found a support. She quickly stood up and hugged Chu Tian tightly, tears running down her cheeks.

"Chutian, my dad... He was diagnosed with terminal cancer. ”

Guohong choked up and said this sentence, and every word revealed deep helplessness and grief.

Chu Tian's heart was shocked, as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer.

But he quickly collected his emotions and gently patted Guohong's back and gently comforted her.

He took a deep breath, pushed open the door to the hospital room, and walked inside.

Guo Xuedong on the hospital bed looked extremely haggard, his face was as pale as paper, and his complexion was very poor.

His eyes were sunken, but still shining with determination.

Seeing Chu Tian, he tried to squeeze out a weak smile and motioned for Chu Tian to sit down.

"Chutian, you're here."

Guo Xuedong's voice was hoarse and low, but it revealed a rare calm, "Don't be too sad, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky." ”

Chu Tian nodded, sat down beside the hospital bed, and held Guo Xuedong's cold and thin hand tightly: "Old Guo, don't give up, let's go and treat, I'll pay for it." ”

Guo Xuedong shook his head, and he said in a low voice: "It's gone, I'm just waiting for you to come and tell you something." ”

Chu Tian's nose was sour, and he held on to prevent his tears from falling: "You said, if I can do it, I will definitely do it." ”

Guo Xuedong sighed: "Actually, I have already found out, I have been taking painkillers these days, I am in the advanced stage of bone cancer, and I am hopeless." But before I died, I always thought about Lincheng and Beihe, and I couldn't rest assured that this place would be. Historically, this place used to be rich and beautiful, and even became an ancient capital three times, but later, the environment here became harsh, and gradually, the mountains became bald and the people became poor. I've been here a few times, and I'm heartbroken here. In order to plant the tree, we planted it for a whole decade. But the environment here is still so bad, nine droughts in ten years, and the people can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes. ”

"Lao Guo, don't say it, I promise you, I will definitely develop Beihe."

Guo Xuedong smiled slightly, and he said softly: "No, you have already done it, it has only been a few years, the building has been built, and the street has been built." In two years, you widened all the main roads and renovated two new urban arteries. It's your credit. ”

"I'm actually most worried about Guohong. Her mother died early, and I didn't be a good father, so she has been suffering with me all these years. I didn't give her glory and wealth, nor did I make her carefree. In this life, I owe her too much, so when I die, Guohong will be taken care of by you, okay? ”

Chu Tian nodded: "Don't worry, I will take care of Guohong, as long as I have a bite to eat, I will ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing, glory and wealth, what you didn't give her, I will give!" ”

Guo Xuedong smiled and nodded: "That's good, even if it's death, I'll be blind." ”

Chu Tian's eyes were red, he stared at Guo Xuedong and said, "Old Guo, don't you really want to look at the future of Beihe anymore?" I discussed with Lao Chen that we would build our first building in Beihe in the city center. There is an elevator, twenty floors. Don't you want to see it? ”

The corners of Guo Xuedong's mouth rose slightly, he looked at Chu Tian and said, "I did everything I could, when I went to Lincheng, there was a poor ...... Hehe...... The desks in the office are all cracked. I still remember that the county government compound was still in tatters, it was an abandoned hospital at the beginning, and then it was given to us. We vacate the space for the city. ”

"I went to the countryside to investigate, and I visited every village in Lincheng...... At that time, not to mention work, they couldn't even eat. The houses are still adobe. Later, you came, and in just a few years, I have walked through many village chiefs, and there are red brick houses at home. Moreover, either you can farm or you can go to work. It is not to say that when the dry season comes, there will be no food rations. Life is getting better little by little...... I made my original promise, I took a bowl of dumpling noodles and told them that in the future, when I want them to serve their rice bowls, there will be rice in the bowl, vegetables on the plate, and they will not worry about eating and wearing......"

"Ahem, ahem!!" When Guo Xuedong said this, he coughed violently, and there was a painful expression on his face, Chu Tian could see that he was almost in pain.

Chu Tian said with red eyes: "Lao Guo, I can still let them live in bigger bungalows, bigger yards, bigger houses, and in the future, I will let them all afford to drive, and food and clothing will no longer be difficult for them." ”

Guo Xuedong nodded, he smiled and said, "I believe." I believe ......"

Guo Xuedong laughed, and after a pause, he continued: "Even if I am gone, you have to promise me, no matter where you go in the future, no matter how rich you become, don't forget Beihe." ”

"This is where you started. It's also your homeland, and although you're not a local, you've been nurtured here for so many years. ”

Chu Tian finally choked up, and nodded with crystal eyes: "I know ......"

"Remember how steel is made, Paul's words?"

Chu Tian thought for a while and said: "The most precious thing for a person is life, and life belongs to a person only once. A man's life should be spent in such a way that when he looks back, he will not regret that he wasted his time, nor will he be ashamed of his inaction. In this way, at the end of his life, he will be able to say: 'My whole life and all my energies have been devoted to the most magnificent cause in the world—the struggle for the emancipation of mankind.' ’”

Guo Xuedong smiled, he looked at Chu Tian and said: "So, although Paul was seriously injured in the end, he still returned to the fighting team with a strong will, and the dream he was looking forward to day and night came true!" The hoop had been smashed, and now he picked up a new weapon and returned to the ranks of the battle. Started a new life ......"

Chu Tian's tears finally fell, Guo Xuedong was from Bibaoer, he was using his life to fulfill his oath.

How much bitterness, how many tears.

Chu Tian could see it. I can feel it too. But he never said anything about his grievances.

"One last request, I want to listen to the song of my trip to the countryside. I remember listening to that song and meeting the only mentor I had in my life, who pointed me to the future and the direction for me. ”

Chu Tian wiped his tears and said in a choked voice: "Okay, I remember what you told me. That's the song, the turbulent youth ......"

Guo Xuedong smiled slightly: "Yes...... I'm starting ......."

"Always hanging on ...... In our hearts, we are ...... An ordinary ...... Wish......"

"May the dear homeland...... Wonderful, may ...... Fatherland...... Ten thousand...... Year...... Long ......"

Then, Chu Tian's voice trembled and he hummed along......

Listen to the noise of the wind and snow, watch the meteors fly,

My heart calls to me to go to the turbulent distance.

Even if disaster follows disaster, it can't make us decadent,

Let's make friends, we will always have power.

Listen to the noise of the wind and snow, watch the meteors fly,

My heart calls to me to go to the turbulent distance.

As long as I can walk, as long as I can look,

As long as I can breathe, I'll keep moving forward.

Listen to the noise of the wind and snow, watch the meteors fly,

My heart calls to me to go to the turbulent distance.

Like every young man, you will meet a girl,

She will travel with you all the way, brave the wind and waves.

Listen to the noise of the wind and snow, watch the meteors fly,

My heart calls to me to go to the turbulent distance.

Don't think you're at the end, don't think the storm is gone,

Hurry up to that great goal and strive for the glory of the motherland.

Listen to the noise of the wind and snow, watch the meteors fly,

My heart calls to me to go to the turbulent distance.
