It was getting slightly brighter and Xiao Chen woke up.
He looked at Han Yifei, who was sleeping soundly next to him, and slowly sat up, then got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.
When he briefly washed up and came out, he found that Han Yifei was also awake.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer? Did I wake you up?"
Xiao Chen looked at Han Yifei and asked.
"No, I'll wake up at this time."
Han Yifei shook her head and said.
"Oh, what do you want to do today?"
Xiao Chen asked casually.
"have."
"What's up?"
"My dad sent me a text message and asked me to go back."
"Oh, you go home later, I'll go to Bashan."
"Yuanbao's funeral?"
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Then I'll take a look when I get home. I'll also go to Bashan to attend Yuanbao's funeral."
Han Yifei thought for a while and said.
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded.
After Han Yifei washed up and put on clothes, the two of them went downstairs and had breakfast.
Afterwards, the two opened their doors and left the hotel.
Xiao Chen first sent Han Yifei to the Han family, and then went straight to Bashan Funeral Home.
By the time he arrived, Leng Feng and others had already arrived.
In addition, Yuanbao's parents also arrived.
"Uncle, aunt, you are here."
Xiao Chen greets Yuan Bao's parents.
"Well, Yuan Bao, this boy, has loved fun and excitement since he was a child. He will definitely be very happy if so many people come to see him off today."
Yuan Bao's mother, with red eyes, said to Xiao Chen.
"Well, don't be too sad, second brother."
Xiao Chen nodded and advised Yuan Bao's parents.
"Don't be sad, we are proud to have a child like Yuanbao!"
Yuan Bao's father, Xu Mandun, wiped his eyes and said.
"Wait a minute, many comrades will come over."
"Yeah, yeah, we'll do whatever you say."
Yuanbao's parents nodded.
"You don't need to do anything, just stay with Yuan Bao."
Xiao Chen said to Yuan Bao's parents.
"Uh-huh."
Yuanbao's mother couldn't help but shed tears.
"Stay with me more, I won't see him again."
Xiao Chen didn't know how to persuade the two of them, so he could only go and do other things.
He couldn't see Yuan Bao's parents crying sadly, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man away.
"Leng Feng, who is here?"
Xiao Chen asked.
"All four branches of the military have sent people here."
Leng Feng said to Xiao Chen.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, Yuanbao liked the excitement, so he would let him lively and complete this last journey.
One by one, wreaths were brought in.
What surprised Xiao Chen was that No. 1 also sent someone to deliver a wreath and personally carried an elegiac couplet.
When Yuanbao's parents knew that it was sent by Chief No. 1, their eyes widened.
They really didn't expect that their son would alert even No. 1.
"Baby, did you see it? Even No. 1 sent a wreath."
Yuan Bao's mother pointed at the wreath sent by No. 1 and shouted loudly.
Soon, the memorial service began and visitors began to enter.
Yuanbao's parents, Leng Feng and others were all standing at the station, receiving visitors.
As people from the four major military departments came in, an announcement came from outside: "The leader of Guanduan Mountain has come to express his condolences!"
Hearing this voice, the faces of the four major ministries changed and they walked out quickly.
Xiao Chen looked at the door and saw Guan Duanshan, dressed in a black tunic suit, striding in accompanied by several people.
He first stepped forward, burned three sticks of incense, and walked towards Yuan Bao's parents.
"Uncle and aunt, this is a big shot in the military and a member of the imperial court."
Xiao Chen introduced.
Hearing Xiao Chen's introduction, Yuan Bao's parents were shocked and were so nervous that they couldn't even speak.
They are just farmers. When have you ever seen such a high-ranking official?
"Brother, you have raised a good boy! He sacrificed his life for the country. The country and the people will never forget him!"
Guan Duanshan held Xu Mandun's calloused hand and said to him.
"Thank you, chief. Thank you, chief."
Xu Manyun said tremblingly.
"No, I should be the one thanking you for raising such a good child as Yuanbao."
Guan Duan Shan shook his head and said seriously.
After hearing Guan Duan Shan's words, Yuan Bao's mother burst into tears.
"Yuanbao, did you hear that? The chief praised you!"
"Yuanbao is a hero and a martyr!"
Guan Duan Shan looked at Yuan Bao's parents and said loudly.
While they were talking, another announcement came from outside.
"The Han family, Mr. Han, came to express condolences!"
Hearing this, Guan Duanshan's face changed slightly, and Xiao Chen also widened his eyes, very surprised.
Why is Mr. Han here?!
"Who is this Mr. Han?"
Xu Mantun looked at the expressions of Xiao Chen and Guan Duanshan and asked curiously.
When Guan Duan Shan said a name, Xu Manyun's eyes suddenly widened.
Although he lives in a poor area and is just a farmer with his face facing the loess and his back facing the sky, he has heard his name!
There are even several movies starring this guy!
"Really, is this really here?"
Xu Manyun's voice was trembling so much.
He really couldn't believe that his son's death had alarmed even this man.
"Um."
Guan Duanshan nodded and went out.
With the status of Mr. Han, even he has to be half a generation shorter!
Speaking of which, he served as a top soldier under Mr. Han for two years!
Later, he transferred to other legions and rose up step by step, until now!
Xiao Chen also followed behind Guan Duan Shan and hurried up to meet him.
"Mr. Han, why are you here?"
Turn off the mountain front.
"I heard Xiao Chen say yesterday that Yuan Bao is a good comrade, so I came to see him off on his last journey."
Mr. Han nodded to Guanduan Mountain and said.
"Old man, you are here."
Xiao Chen was moved in his heart. He really didn't expect that Mr. Han would come here in person.
"Well, I came over to take a look at the ingot."
Mr. Han nodded.
"Old man, please come inside."
Xiao Chen walked inside with Mr. Han and saw Yuan Bao lying on the crystal and wearing a national flag.
Mr. Han stood in front of the crystal coffin, looked at the ingot, stood up straight, and slowly gave a military salute.
Following Mr. Han's military salute, everyone from Xiao Chen to Guan Duan Shan and everyone in the military stood at attention and saluted.
Leng Feng and others' eyes were red, Yuan Bao was worth it!
Yuanbao's parents also burst into tears: "My dear, have you seen it? Mr. Han is here, Chief Guan is here..."
Mr. Han slowly lowered his hand, and Xiao Chen and others also lowered their hands.
"Old man, please go and sit next to me."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he looked at Han Yifei behind Mr. Han.
"Grandpa, let me help you go over and sit down."
Han Yifei said to Mr. Han.
"No, I'm not tired."
Mr. Han shook his head, picked up the incense and lit it.
As the news of Mr. Han's arrival spread, the top figures in the four major military departments could not sit still and rushed over one after another.
Several people from the court, except those who were meeting guests on the 1st, also showed up.
For a time, big shots gathered at Yuanbao's funeral!
Even if a big shot in the imperial court dies, it will just be like this.
Yuanbao's parents were extremely excited.
Although they were sad, they were more proud of their son!
Leng Feng and others were also very excited, but they knew that both Mr. Han and Guan Duan Shan were here for Xiao Chen!
And the big bosses from the four major ministries and the imperial court are all here for Mr. Han!
The emcee was also very excited. This was his first time hosting such a memorial service!
After the memorial speech was briefly delivered, Yuan Bao's father, Xu Mandun, came on stage and said some very simple words.
Mr. Han looked at Xu Mandun and kept nodding.
Back then, he was also born with mud legs!
He knows that farmers are the most simple!
Midway through, Mr. Han also came on stage and said a few words.
The theme is the spirit of modern soldiers, which greatly praises Yuanbao's spirit of sacrifice!
Finally, Xiao Chen slowly came on stage and said something on behalf of Leng Feng and others.
One morning, the memorial service ended.
"Yifei, take the old man back, and be careful on the way."
Xiao Chen said to Han Yifei.
"Ok, I know."
Han Yifei nodded.
"Xiao Chen, I'll leave the rest to you."
Mr. Han looked at Xiao Chen and said seriously.
"Old man, don't worry, leave everything to me."
Xiao Chen nodded.
Afterwards, Mr. Han left, and Guan Duanshan and others also left one after another.
However, when the No. 1 figure in the Four Divisions left, he said that he would let the entire army learn from Yuan Bao's self-sacrifice and unafraid of sacrifice!
This is also the tone set by Mr. Han!
After they all left, Xiao Chen and others accompanied Yuan Bao's parents to the cremation.
After the cremation, they came to the Martyrs Cemetery.
The location was chosen by Yuanbao before!
After the burial, Xiao Chen stood in front of the grave, feeling very depressed.
He glanced around, and all the familiar names were buried here!
"Although it seems that the world is peaceful, after the peace, there are their sacrifices."
Xiao Chen said slowly.
Leng Feng and others nodded. The turmoil behind the peace was not something ordinary people could know.
Even if there are occasional situations that cannot be covered up, they will be announced under the pretext of military exercises to prevent the people from panicking.
"Brother Chen, I like something you said before."
Leng Feng looked at Yuanbao's grave and said.
"What words?"
Xiao Chen turned his head, looked at Leng Feng and asked.
"There are no quiet years, but there are people who carry the burden for you...and we are the ones who carry the burden forward."
Leng Feng said slowly.
Xiao Chen nodded, that was indeed the case.
"My baby!"
Yuan Bao's mother was lying on the grave, crying loudly.
Yuan Bao's father, Xu Mandun, suppressed his grief, but wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands from time to time.
Regardless of glory or pride, their son has left them!
Xiao Chen and others did not try to persuade them, they should give them a chance to vent their sorrow.
"Come, let's toast Yuan Bao."
Xiao Chen opened a bottle of Shao Knife, poured it into a cup, and said loudly.
"Honor Yuanbao!"
Leng Feng and others raised their glasses and raised their voices.
After almost an hour, Xiao Chen and others accompanied Yuan Bao's parents and left the Martyrs Cemetery.
"Uncle and aunt, do you plan to leave when?"
On the way back, Xiao Chen asked.
"The two of us have discussed it and we will go back tomorrow."
Xu Manyun said to Xiao Chen.
"Then I will arrange for someone to take you back."
"No, we can just take the train back! Thank you!"
Xu Mantun looked at Xiao Chen and others and said gratefully.
"Uncle, there's no need to thank us, it's me who didn't bring the ingot back."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"No, it's not your fault. I really don't blame you, kid."
Yuan Bao's mother wiped her tears and shook her head.
