Qin Xianyang's body was temporarily stored in a cold storage. Muslims pay attention to quick burial, so Colin did not have a funeral parlor or a crystal coffin. The box containing the body was a wooden box that Liu Handong found temporarily. Qin Xianyang's clothes were full of dust and blood.
He couldn't see anyone, so he had to get him new clothes.
There are Qin Xianyang's clothes in the cabinet in the office. The most decent one is the employee suit made by Zhongyanhuang. It is an old-style three-button suit. The collar and cuffs are frayed. It is definitely not appropriate for him to be buried in such clothes. Liu Handong Ji
I ordered some sizes and went to the most luxurious store in Takikati to buy an Armani suit, plus a shirt and tie.
Lao Qin was frozen solid, his face was gray, and the bullet in the wound on his chest had not been removed. Liu Handong said that this was not possible. It would be very sad for his sister-in-law to see him. At least he had to put on makeup, remove the bullet, and sew up the wound.
The situation in Colin was still chaotic. Liu Handong found a Pakistani surgeon through Sharif, who removed the bullet that entered Qin Xianyang's heart, sutured the wound, cleaned the body, and personally dressed him in full clothes and put on makeup.
.
Qin Xianyang's family members will arrive in Colin tomorrow, accompanied by staff from Zhongyanhuang. Liu Handong led all the staff in the office to greet them at the airport, driving a business car left by the company.
Colin Airport has not yet fully resumed operation. There are only some small planes on the runway. Qin Xianyang’s family took a regional flight from Doha. The plane is not big and can only seat less than a hundred people, most of whom are from South Asia.
There are only **** workers, one old and one young. The old one is a gray-haired grandmother, and the youngest one is only three or four years old, a little boy.
The grandfather and grandson were accompanied by staff, who were employees of Zhongyanhuang. Liu Handong and others came up to greet them, took their luggage, and walked back to the parking lot.
"Auntie, my condolences." Liu Handong couldn't figure out who Qin Xianyang was in this simple-dressed rural old lady.
The staff who accompanied us introduced that these were the mother and son of Comrade Qin Xianyang.
"Son, it's okay, Mom, you can hold on." The old man spoke with a Henan accent, forced a smile, and held his grandson's hand tightly.
"Then what, why didn't sister-in-law come over?" Liu Handong asked.
"You said it's my child's mother, alas, we're divorced." The old man's eyes were a little red.
Liu Handong quickly changed the topic: "Go back to your place first, I've booked a hotel for you."
Qin's mother said: "We don't have to live in a guest house, which is a waste of the country's money. We can just live in Xian'er's dormitory. I also want to see where he works."
So he returned to the office first, and Liu Handong handed over Qin Xianyang's belongings, a box of clothes, a laptop, and other odds and ends, nothing of value.
Qin's mother didn't cry, she just rubbed these things and muttered: "Xian'er, mother is here to see you, mother is here to see you."
The little boy was neither sensible nor naughty yet. He sat quietly and played with paper airplanes.
Liu Handong said: "If the family members have any other requests, we will try our best to meet them."
Qin's mother said: "This time we went abroad, the country handled special matters. We got passports for us in three days, and the pension was also paid. I don't have any requirements, I just want to ask one thing, how did Xian'er die?"
Yes? Why do you say he was shot to death? It is considered a work-related injury but not a martyr?"
Liu Handong had a headache. His family members asked for the treatment of martyrs. This was not something he could decide. The status of a martyr was not simple. He needed a "Revolutionary Martyr Certificate" issued by the civilian government. The martyrs' relatives would receive state pensions, and their children would have preferential treatment when going to school and finding jobs.
Qin Xianyang sacrificed his life for the interests of the country, so he should be given the title of martyr. How did he die in the line of duty?
However, if you think about it, you can understand that the country is trying its best to distance itself from the coup. Qin Xianyang was killed by the rebels as a military personnel during the attack on the airport. This matter cannot be mentioned on the table, otherwise people will gossip internationally.
.
Seeing Liu Handong's embarrassment, Qin's mother added: "I'm not asking for treatment from the country, I just want to know what's going on. My son can't die inexplicably. His father has been troubled all his life, but he has never been a martyr."
, I won’t even close my eyes even if I die.”
Liu Handong thought for a moment, carefully weighed his words and said, "Auntie, it's like this. Comrade Qin Xianyang unfortunately died while performing a national secret mission. For confidentiality reasons, he cannot be awarded the title of martyr. Please forgive his family members."
His words were purely deceptive. Unexpectedly, Qin's mother actually nodded: "Yes, there is one sentence that hits the mark. I understand the country's difficulties. Let's go and see Xian'er."
Liu Handong was shocked. He thought he was going to have a good argument, but Qin's mother was so reasonable. In terms of personality, she was completely different from Qin Xianyang.
"Grandma, I'm hungry." The little boy said softly.
Liu Handong was at a loss as there was no food prepared in the office.
Mother Qin took out an airplane meal from her bag. It must have been the leftovers from the passenger plane. The little boy sat down to eat obediently, chewing slowly.
Liu Handong said: "If you have any difficulties at home, you can mention them and the organization will find ways to help solve them."
Qin's mother said: "My family's life is not bad. We have a house and a car. It's much better than before. I don't have any difficulties."
There was another moment of silence, and when the little boy finished eating, Liu Handong proposed to take them to see the body, and then arrange for the cremation and send the ashes back to the country for burial. His mission was over.
When they arrived at the cold storage, Liu Handong asked someone to push Qin Xianyang out. Seeing his son sleeping in the iron box, Qin's mother could no longer suppress her sadness, tears flowed out, and she choked with sobs: "My son."
The little boy recognized his father, stood aside and timidly said: "Dad, wake up."
Liu Handong and others quietly retreated, leaving some private space for the Qin family.
At this time, Qin Yingyang arrived and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm too busy to pick up the plane. How about it, my aunt is in there?"
Liu Handong said: "I'm crying inside. Qin Xianyang's mother is very kind. By the way, what happened to his partner? Is he divorced?"
Qin Yingyang said: "In fact, we are not divorced. We are temporarily separated. The children have always been taken care of by grandma. His wife is nothing. Xianyang is burdened with debts. A small high-level executive in Erqi District, Zhengzhou, bought a Sagitar with a loan."
Yes, how can working-class people have so much money, not to mention that their children are sick and need money."
"What's the disease?" Liu Handong had long thought that something was wrong with the little boy, that he was too quiet.
"Congenital heart disease." Qin Yingyang said, "So the woman thinks it's a burden and doesn't want it. Oh, what a bad fate. She shouldn't have found a girl from the city in the first place. This woman's family is quite capable. Her father is the section chief of some bureau.
He had always looked down on Qin Xianyang, and after he got married, he forced him to change his job. When he moved to another place, he bought a house and a car, all with the woman's name, and Xianyang paid for the loan. When the child was born, Xianyang's mother went to the city to see her grandson.
I don't get along with my daughter-in-law, and I keep quarreling all day long. In fact, it's because my daughter-in-law doesn't look down on the old country woman. This is one of the focuses of the conflict, and there's another thing."
Qin Yingyang coughed dryly and continued: "Xian Yang went behind his wife's back and sent money to his comrades' homes every month for a long time. After this was exposed, his wife became anxious and called him a fool and wanted to divorce him. Xian Yang
He loves his wife, kneels and kowtows, but it’s useless. His wife doesn’t want to live with a loser, but she’s not in the country, so she separated first.”
Liu Handong said: "Damn it, you can't have this kind of woman. By the way, who does Qin Xianyang send money to? Is it the home of a comrade named Niu?"
Qin Yingyang said: "Yes, he is named Niu. When Xianyang was in the army, what he felt most guilty about was that incident. He kept sending money, so he should atone for his sins."
The ice in Liu Handong's heart began to melt, and he gradually got to know another Qin Xianyang.
"Can the issue of the title of martyr be solved?" At this moment, Liu Handong wanted to do something for the instructor. As a member of the country, Qin Yingyang must know the trick here.
Qin Yingyang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's difficult. The government will never admit that it has participated in interfering in Colin's internal affairs. Even if he dies in the line of duty, it will be taken care of. Don't expect anything more from this. Alas, both his father and son have
You are so unlucky that you cannot even become a martyr."
Liu Handong wondered: "I still want to ask you, what happened to Qin Xianyang's father?"
Qin Yingyang said: "Xianyang's father is my cousin. In the Vietnam War in 1979, he was the deputy company commander of the front-line troops. When they reached Hanoi, the central government ordered the troops to withdraw. The troops in front were all scattered and could not be evacuated.
When we came back, many people were captured by the Vietnamese, and my cousin was one of them. Later, he was released through a prisoner exchange, and his military status was lost. He could not hold his head up for the rest of his life. My cousin often said, if he had known he would have died on the battlefield, he would have been a fool.
A martyr is better than living alone. Later, through someone's introduction, he married Xian Yang's mother. When Xian Yang was seven years old, his cousin passed away. He couldn't tell what the disease was, but they said he died of depression.
"
A picture appeared in front of Liu Handong's eyes. The stubborn young man Qin Xianyang was walking on a rural dirt road with his schoolbag on his back. A group of classmates behind him laughed at him for being the son of a captured soldier.
The instructor's paranoid personality probably stems from his childhood experiences and what happened to his father.
Tian Fei and Li Song were silent, with red eyes. None of them understood Qin Xianyang. They only thought that this Henan native was stingy and arrogant. Who would have thought that he was carrying such a heavy burden and mental pressure.
"I'm sorry for Director Qin. I often scolded him behind his back and called him a Henan liar." Li Song choked with sobs.
Qin Yingyang sighed and said, "Forget it, no one is here anymore. I'll go in and take a look to make sure nothing happens."
After a while, Qin Yingyang came out, supporting Qin's mother with red eyes, and the group went to the Kempinski Hotel. On the way, Liu Handong said: "How much pension did the unit give?"
Tian Fei said: "According to relevant regulations, it should be two hundred thousand."
Liu Handong said: "The Colin government should give another part. I will go to them later. The royal family is so busy these days that they probably can't take care of this matter."
Qin's mother said: "It's absolutely impossible to do it. When I came, the leader said that we can't embarrass the country. I don't want this money."
Liu Handong knew that the old man was simple, so he didn't say much and sent them to the Kempinski Hotel. But things happened again. Qin's mother had never seen such a luxurious hotel and said she wouldn't stay there.
"We don't have to spend hundreds of dollars to spend this night, and we don't dare to waste the country's money." Qin's mother said that she would rather die than enter the door. Unfortunately, Liu Handong had no choice but to drag his grandfather and grandson back to the office and lay the floor. The old man was satisfied.
After settling them, Liu Handong drove to the palace. The gate was still heavily guarded, with tanks, armored vehicles and heavy machine guns. A military policeman reached out to stop the car and walked over with his gun holster in hand. When he saw that the driver was Liu Handong, he immediately felt like he had been stung by a wasp.
Jumped up and shouted: "The general is here!"
All the soldiers stood at attention and saluted with their guns. Liu Handong returned the salute gracefully, got out of the car, got on the military jeep and went straight to the palace.
His Majesty the Emir had many things to do, but he still found time to receive Liu Handong and asked him if he needed help.
Liu Handong got straight to the point and briefly explained what happened to Qin Xianyang's family, emphasizing that the families of the fallen need a decent funeral, a real funeral for soldiers who died in battle, and a funeral for martyrs.
Emil thought for a moment and said: "The posthumous rank of Colonel in the Army of the Kingdom of Colin, the Medal of Honor for Heroes, the cannon truck pulling the coffin, the funeral with a guard of honor, the formal state funeral, and the erection of a life-size bronze statue at the airport gate. Do you think there is anything else that needs to be added?"
