A special program to welcome the volunteer army martyrs home is broadcast in the evening.

However, the news was released in the afternoon.

Listening to the rain has a new song that will appear in the special show.

This also made many people stayed in front of the TV after dinner.

News is still being played on TV.

The news content revolves around welcoming the return of volunteer army martyrs.

Deep in the mountains.

There is a small village called Xujia Village.

There are more than twenty families in the village.

Because of the holiday, all the young people have returned.

It is completely different from the usual scenes where only the elderly and children are left.

The family was having a happy meal and had supper.

In some families, children happily surrounded their parents for gifts.

Some families, children who come back from work, tell their parents about interesting things outside.

And in this bright and joyful scene.

There is one where the lights are not on.

Qi Xiujuan.

He is already ninety years old this year.

She had a habit of sitting on the stone at the entrance of the village every night after dinner.

It's not long, it's only about half an hour.

After sitting down, I will go home.

Qi Xiujuan has no children and is a widowed old man from the village. At such an old age, she is gradually inconvenient to move. Fortunately, the neighbors around her take good care of her. She will take turns to cook for her during meals, and the village chief will also bring her regularly.

Daily necessities.

And the village chief also applied for benefits for her.

It’s okay to have enough food and wear warmth.

"Have Xu Yuanshan returned?" She asked softly when she saw a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old walking into the village.

"Grandma Qi, Xu Yuanshan is not yet." The young man named Zhu Ming, who is a college student in the village.

Since childhood, his parents told him that as long as Grandma Qi asked Xu Yuanshan if she had come back, she would tell her that she hadn't, so that she wouldn't go crazy.

The older generation said that Xu Yuanshan was an orphan adopted by the old village chief and Qi Xiujuan's husband. Many people got married at the age of 19 in that era. Not long after he got married, he went to participate in the volunteer army to go abroad for war.

Qi Xiujuan has been waiting for him in the village.

Every day I go to the entrance of the village to see if Xu Yuanshan is back.

This is the time to wait until now.

When she was young, someone told her that Xu Yuanshan probably had sacrificed.

She locked herself at home and cried for three days.

After recovering later.

Qi Xiujuan still waits for Xu Yuanshan to come back at the entrance of the village every day.

Whether it is sunny or rainy, she will take a look, sometimes for an hour or two, and sometimes for a long time to sit.

As long as someone comes in from outside the village, she will ask: "Have Xu Yuanshan returned?"

If someone says that Xu Yuanshan can't come back, her temperament will change drastically.

Over time, everyone formed a tacit understanding.

As long as she asked, she would answer uniformly: "Xu Yuanshan has not come back yet."

After hearing this, she would not have any reaction, but would continue to wait there.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

The village takes good care of her.

After all, everyone knows that Xu Yuanshan sacrificed his life to defend his country and he was a hero, and they should take good care of the hero's wife.

In fact, the country has also come to her several times and wants her to go to a nursing home, but she refuses.

"I want to wait for Xu Yuanshan." Qi Xiujuan said this only.

Because she had a big emotional fluctuation, she had no choice but to let her live in the village, repair her house, and apply for subsidies every month, so that the village chief could take more attention.

"Grandma Qi, come with me quickly, the show will be broadcast soon."

The village chief Zeng Changchun is a young man in his thirties and the first college student in the village. After he was admitted to university, he did not go out, but used the agricultural knowledge he learned to return to the village to build this student and raise him.

village.

"It's Changchun's baby, I'm waiting for Xu Yuanshan." Qi Xiujuan smiled rarely.

Zeng Changchun was the one she watched as growing up, and she was also the person who interacted with her the most in the village.

"Grandma Qi, the person you are waiting for, he is back, go and have a look and welcome him."

Zeng Changchun was a little excited.

Even speaking was trembling.

He knew that Qi Xiujuan knew better than anyone else that her husband had already sacrificed.

She came to the village entrance every day to wait, just an emotional sustenance.

Qi Xiujuan was not crazy either. She once said that if she didn't vent, she would be crazy.

This is also the reason why Zeng Changchun dared to let her watch the show.

She knew everything and knew everything. She was just thinking about her husband in her own way so that she would not forget it at some point.

"Really?" At this time, Qi Xiujuan had a faint shyness in her turbid old eyes.

"Of course, the show is about to begin, I'll watch it with you."

Zeng Changchun quickly helped her up and led her towards her home.

Before going to Zeng Changchun's house, Qi Xiujuan returned to her home.

From a rusty iron box, take a wooden hairpin and pin it on your hair.

This was the night Xu Yuanshan walked and used branches to carve it for her.

To greet him, of course, I have to wear what he gave him.

...

After the news is finished.

It is a special program to welcome the volunteer army martyrs home.

When Zeng Changchun and the others came back, the show had not yet begun.

He arranged for Qi Xiujuan to sit down and poured her a glass of warm water.

"Grandma Qi, don't be too excited, the show will begin soon."

He saw Qi Xiujuan holding the water cup very tightly and said in a low voice.

"Yeah." Qi Xiujuan nodded repeatedly, her eyes never left the TV screen.

"The iron blood is still here, and the mountains and rivers are safe. I pay tribute to the loyal and martyrs of the volunteers!"

In a narration, a special show to pay tribute to the martyrs began.

When she saw the plane carrying the remains of the martyrs soaring in the air, crystal tears flashed in her eyes.

The show continues.

Qi Xiujuan's eyes were not very good. She came to the TV with a stool and watched it seriously.

After the welcoming ceremony is completed.

It's the picture of publishing the list.

Qi Xiujuan got closer.

“…

I wish to ask for the long tassel to live up to my youth for my country,

Among thousands of people, you and me turned into sparks of fire..."

The background music is not loud, it just serves as a setback.

Qi Xiujuan is illiterate.
