"Dad!"

Lin Hui looked a little flustered: "You, why are you here?" ”

Lin Guangyao walked over with his hands behind his back with a smile: "This is my agreement with your commander, and when I received his call, I rushed over immediately." ”

Lin Hui had a slight retreat in his heart, like a child who had done something wrong, and his heart was so weak that he didn't dare to look at his eyes.

Lin Guangyao gently hugged him: "Let's go, take you to see some people." ”

Lin Hui didn't refuse, so he was hugged by him and walked up the steps.

He secretly looked at his father with his spare eyes, and his heart was full of worry, worried that his father would blame him for this.

But Lin Guangyao always had a smile on his face, without the slightest hint of blame, and he couldn't see any anger.

This made his hanging heart fall immediately.

But he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.

Isn't that right?

Doesn't make sense?

The commander must have told him that he did not want to be a regiment commander, but only an instructor.

Although he has all kinds of reasons, in the eyes of his father, this is not motivated, it is a sign of cowardice.

He should be angry, why ...... today?

Soon, they were up the stairs.

Lin Guangyao took him all the way to the depths.

The tombstones passing by, like countless sentinels, stand quietly here.

Finally, the two walked to the deepest part of the cemetery.

There is a small hill that stands on its own.

At the foot of the mountain, there are nine tombstones.

Lin Guangyao stopped and smiled faintly at these tombstones: "Old guys, I haven't come to see you for a long time. ”

"Today, I brought our three sons, you see, he is a great soldier now, better than we were at the beginning!"

Lin Hui saw that his father was so happy that he was about to laugh with folds on his face.

It also makes him curious about the owner of the tombstone.

Looking at the nine mottled and old tombstones in front of him, it was obviously some years.

The warriors on the tombstones are all wearing early military uniforms.

In each photo, there is already a little yellowing.

He asked curiously, "Dad, who are they?" ”

Lin Guangyao laughed: "Come, I'll introduce you!" ”

He pointed to the first tablet on the left and began to introduce them one by one.

"Qian Guohui, Lao Qian, the third company of the heroes of the 302nd regiment, the deputy squad leader of the first squad!"

"Hong Shan, he is the hero of the 302nd Regiment of the third company, a squad of machine gunners!"

"Weiyang Army, the 302nd Regiment Hero Third Company, Machine Gun Deputy!"

“……”

Lin Hui listened to his introductions one by one, and his expression gradually became solemn.

The 302nd Regiment Hero Third Company, this title is too familiar to him.

On the wall of Daddy's study, there is a broken flag with a few big characters written on it.

Lin Guangyao pointed to the last one: "Zhao Tiesheng, the third company of the heroes of the 302nd regiment, bombardier!" ”

In the end, he looked at Lin Hui and said solemnly and proudly: "I, Lin Guangyao, the former 302nd Regiment, the squad leader of the heroic third company, they are all soldiers led by me!" ”

Lin Hui straightened up instantly, looking at him with blazing eyes.

Lin Guangyao smiled slightly: "Relax and relax, they are all your uncles, you don't need to be so nervous, just like your own family." ”

Although he said this, Lin Hui still tensed his body, not daring to relax in the slightest: "Dad, why have I never heard you mention them, they ......"

Lin Guangyao said with a smile: "I didn't mention them again, because you were still young and ignorant at the beginning, and I didn't want it to come out of my mouth, but it became a joke in your heart." ”

He looked at the tombstone with nostalgia in his eyes: "Decades ago, we went to the west together to participate in the battle, and in one operation, we went deep behind enemy lines, eliminated six enemy outposts in one fell swoop, destroyed a powder magazine, and captured more than 70 enemies alive!" ”

"But in the end they all died, and none of them came back alive, except for me, who was seriously wounded and returned with my captives."

Lin Hui's eyes instantly lit up, looking at the photos of the nine people, and infinite respect had risen in his heart.

Lin Guangyao smiled faintly: "Haven't you always wondered, why have I been so strict with you since I was a child?" Do you have to be forced to be a soldier and forcibly sent you to the army? ”

He looked at Lin Hui, and Lin Hui also stared at him tightly.

This is what he has been confused since he was a child, and it is also something that has been bothering him since he entered the army.

Why is there so many roads in life, but my father insists on forcing himself to join the army as a soldier.

There are many ways to train, not just joining the army.

Now, is this mystery finally about to be solved?

Lin Guangyao took a deep breath and looked at these tombstones, as if he had opened a box that had been sealed for a long time: "Because, from the day I brought their bodies back, I swore to them that I would not let them die in vain." ”

"Originally, the people on the battlefield of death should have been me, it was a few of them who protected me with their lives again and again!"

Lin Hui's heart trembled, as if he had been unconsciously brought into that era.

Lin Guangyao pointed to a monument: "Qian Guohui!" When I was on the battlefield, a grenade was thrown at me, and he protected me with his body. ”

"And he was hit by 29 shrapnel in his body, and died heroically on the spot, and after the body was brought back for cremation, the shrapnel and his ashes were fused together!"

"Zhao Tiesheng! When I was about to storm the enemy's bunker, I resolutely snatched my explosives bag and rushed forward before me, and when I died, there were eighteen holes in my body! ”

He pointed to a monument again: "Hong Shan, when he died, he was only seventeen years old, and he was the youngest soldier in our class. “

"When we rushed into the enemy's ammunition depot, I was knocked to the ground by bullets, and it was he who pounced on me and used his body to block the deadly bullet for me!"

Lin Guangyao's eyes were already moistened unconsciously: "This life of mine was picked up by them, so when I brought them back, I promised them." ”

"As long as I still have a breath of air, as long as there is still a boy in my Lin family, I will never let their descendants follow their path again!"

"Motherland, I guard for them, their descendants should enjoy the life of ordinary people, and should not experience all this we have experienced again!"

Lin Hui was extremely shocked, and his eyes slowly turned red.

He never dreamed that his father forced him to become a soldier.

It's all because of a promise made decades ago.

Lin Guangyao suddenly said, "I'm sorry." ”

Lin Hui's body was shocked, and he looked at his father in disbelief.

Lin Guangyao also looked at him: "I know, I am a selfish person, my life was saved by them, but it has nothing to do with you." Because I made a promise that I had made on my own, I dragged you in with me. ”

"Since I was a child, I have never cared for you, I put all my energy into the army, just because I had an extra responsibility on my shoulders at that time."

"I don't want my soldiers to die on the battlefield like them again, and I don't want more families to lose their loved ones."

"But in the end, I neglected the people closest to me."

He bowed slightly to Lin Hui: "Son, I'm sorry, I haven't been involved in your life since I was a child, I only gave you countless orders, and constantly imposed my thoughts on you." ”

"I just dragged you into the promise I made without authorization, and also imposed my responsibility on you."

"Here today, in front of my brothers, Dad solemnly said sorry to you, I hope you can forgive me, a selfish old warlord."

At this moment, Lin Hui's tears fell wildly.

The last time he was rescued from a wildfire, he got his father's approval and approval after he was injured.

At that time, the knot in his heart had already been untied.

At that time, he just thought that his father was an old-fashioned and inflexible old soldier, so he had to send his children into the army.

But now he finally knows why his father has been so strict for so many years, and why he insisted on forcing him to join the army......

Lin Guangyao took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Xiaohui, you can be a good soldier, because you have endured hardships, determination, and perseverance, even if you take off your military uniform, no matter what you do, you will definitely be very successful!" ”

"Lao Xu told me, let me persuade you, let you cheer up, be a good soldier, and you will definitely be able to surpass us in the future, and even become a legendary general!"

"But I brought you here today just to tell them in front of them that you have endured too much."

"From today onwards, you can do whatever you want. Whether you are a regiment commander or an instructor, it doesn't matter if you leave the army, what you want to do, Dad will support you! ”

Lin Hui's eyes were full of tears, and his heart was full of infinite warmth.

Lin Guangyao turned his head to look at a few tombstones and smiled slightly: "Brother, I originally wanted each of my sons to become the best soldiers, so that they can bring out many excellent soldiers to defend the motherland and the people!" ”

"Xiaohui has now brought out a lot of amazing soldiers, all of them are dragon spirits and tigers, much stronger than we were at the beginning, known as the first in the southwest!"

"The current troops are much more powerful than we used to be, and we no longer need to use our lives to block gun holes, and we no longer need to carry explosive bags to blow up bunkers!"

"We now have heavy howitzers, long-range precision guidance, and as soon as the rockets fly, it is a large area, and if you need air support, you can call casually, and several bombers will fly in immediately, and the food of the troops is much better than before, and there is meat at every meal, and the soldiers can eat enough......"

He smiled with tears in his eyes, and his face was full of pride and pride: "Damn, our country, how many grievances have we suffered to get to where we are today!" ”

Lin Hui, who was beside him, covered his face with his arms, and was already crying into tears.

He knows very well that today's prosperity is all bought by the older generation with blood and life.

Without them, how can there be a quiet and peaceful world today, and everything is someone carrying the weight forward.

Lin Guangyao took a deep breath and calmed his emotions: "Brothers, please forgive me, I may be about to lose my words to you." Your children, your loved ones, are now living a good life. ”

"Xiaohui has given too much, I have been sorry for him all my life, let me be the master now, let him do what he wants to do."

"The motherland has me, and my eldest son and second son, guarding it for you!"

He looked at Lin Hui and smiled: "Go ahead, do what you want to do, Dad will always support you!" ”

At this moment, Lin Hui fell to his knees with trembling bodies like tears bursting into his eyes.

Half facing Lin Guangyao, half facing the nine tombstones.

From the bottom of his heart, he cried hysterically and shouted: "Dad, I want to be a soldier, I want to be a good soldier!" ”
