The entire memorial ceremony seemed solemn and solemn. It was also the first time for Yu Fan to meet so many leaders of the party and the country. However, there was very little that Yu Fan could do to help with a memorial service of this level. As the son-in-law of the Lin family, he could only stand far behind, staring silently at the old man covered by the party flag. But there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. There was sadness, regret, and a little longing. .
Under Lin Ning's insistence, Lin Dongfang also allowed her to come to see her grandfather for the last time today. However, at this time, Lin Ning's expression was dull and her eyes were scattered with a trace of confusion, which made Yu Fan even more worried. When she came in just now, if it weren't for Yu Fan's support, the silly girl would have almost fainted and fell to the ground. Considering her current physical condition, Yu Fan also gently advised her to rest in the back. However, the silly girl had a determined expression. Shake his head.
When he helped Lin Ning walk outside, Yu Fan discovered that the originally clear sky was now covered with drizzle. It looked a little gloomy. It seemed that God was also feeling sad for the old man's departure. He handed Lin Ning over to the waiting room. Mo Xinlan, who was looking anxious, looked at Lin Ning's sad expression at the moment. Yu Fan sighed slightly in his heart. I don't know why. Yu Fan suddenly thought of Taizu standing behind the 'Monument to the People's Heroes' on the National Mall. Inscription. Yes. It is immortal. Although we know that nothing in this world is immortal. But Yu Fan believes that what is immortal is the spirit. It is the spirit of bleeding and sacrificing for the country and the nation. This is what our nation is doing. The reason why we have been able to stand firm after going through vicissitudes of life and tempered by war is that our spirit is immortal. It is not just Mr. Lin, but also the thousands of proletarian soldiers who have sacrificed their lives. It is the spirit of these people who have gathered together to form us. the soul of the nation.
For a moment, Yu Fan felt as if a fire was surging in his heart. The distant tombstones behind Qujiawan Village in Lucaotan Town seemed to be right in front of him at this moment. There are many similar places in China. .These people also shed their blood and sacrificed their lives for our country and our nation. The country will never forget them, the nation will not forget them, and their spirits will also be immortal.
"What are you thinking about? Xiaofan." The person who spoke was Dong Fangming. He is considered Yu Fan's elder. But because the two of them had worked together in Chongquan City, the relationship between the two was different from that of other members of the Lin family. It's much better.
Seeing that it was Dong Fanming, Yu Fan immediately stepped forward to shake hands with him. "Uncle, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet. I heard that you have been transferred to the Ludong Military Region. Congratulations." Dong Fangming is wearing a military uniform today. There was one more thing than when Yu Fan saw him last time. It was obviously dried up.
Smiling faintly, Dong Fanming said nonchalantly: "There is nothing to congratulate about the sesame and mung bean matter. But the old man..." At this point, Dong Fanming sighed, patted Yu Fan on the shoulder and said: "You too Don't be too sad. For the old man and his generation, they don't take trivial matters like life and death seriously. The things they have experienced are far more than we imagined."
He glanced at Dong Fangming with some surprise. Yu Fan suddenly felt that he was not the only one who could understand the older generation. Looking at the military uniform Dong Fangming was wearing, Yu Fan suddenly understood. This may be because He and the old man were both soldiers. For a moment, both of them seemed to have thought of something. They looked at each other and smiled slightly.
The death of the old man seemed to be a blow to Lin Ning that was beyond everyone's expectations. That night, Lin Ning fell ill with a high fever. In the hospital, Yu Fan also stayed anxiously by the bedside all night until morning. By that time, the fever slowly subsided, which finally made Yu Fan feel slightly relieved.
Lin Dongfang rushed to the hospital in the morning. Looking at his tired face, it was obvious that he had not slept all night. After asking about Lin Ning's condition, Lin Dongfang also looked at his daughter and sighed. Mo Xinlan looked at Yu Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, you haven't slept a wink all night. Go back and have a rest first. I'll be fine here."
These words made Yu Fan hesitate. To be honest, he was really worried about Lin Ning. After all, Lin Ning was not alone now. She was pregnant with a child. If something went wrong, the consequences would be disastrous. He was wondering what to do. Rejected, Lin Dongfang waved his hand and said: "I'm afraid you don't have much time to rest today. You go and prepare first. You will go to Zhongnanhai with me later."
Yu Fan was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Lin Dongfang in confusion. Lin Dongfang smiled slightly and said: "Judging from Mr. Qian's attitude towards you, he still appreciates you very much. I should treat you with kindness and courtesy." I'll take you to visit his old man. Make good preparations. Although Mr. Qian has retired, he is still very influential in the party. Not everyone can meet him." These words made Yu Fan a little embarrassed. In fact, He knew very well that with the death of Mr. Lin, the Lin family's only sea-fixing needle no longer existed. As the current leader of the Lin family, Lin Dongfang had more things to consider. The purpose of meeting Mr. Qian this time It's not as simple as visiting. The purpose of deepening the relationship is self-evident. But given Lin Ning's current situation, Yu Fan really doesn't want to leave now. Even Mr. Qian is a person he respects very much in his heart.
"Dad, do you think you should wait until Xiao Ning's condition becomes more stable..." Before he could finish his words, Lin Dongfang shook his hand and said, "I have already asked the doctor about Xiao Ning's condition. It won't happen." What a bad situation. Besides, your mother is here, so you don’t have to worry." Seeing that Yu Fan was still a little hesitant, Lin Dongfang looked at him and sighed. "Xiao Fan, I will do it in two days too." I have returned to Jinhai. No one can tell what will happen in Beijing. What we need now is time." Hearing this, Yu Fan looked at Lin Dongfang in surprise. After a while, he nodded softly. head.
In fact, Yu Fan felt Lin Dongfang's worries. It seemed that after Mr. Lin passed away, the Lin family's situation was not as good as it seemed on the surface. I'm afraid Yu Fan didn't understand many things. But at this time, he could help Lin. Yu Fan is still happy to see Dongfang's busyness.
This is Yu Fan's first time to Zhongnanhai. To be honest, he's not nervous. That would be a lie. But Lin Dongfang grew up here. Seeing Yu Fan's nervous face, he couldn't help but smile and comfort him: "Don't be too nervous, Mr. Qian." He is a very easy-going person. Haha. Soon, I will move here too."
Yu Fan was stunned for a moment. But in a blink of an eye, he understood. Lin Dongfang was already a member of the Politburo. It was natural to live in Zhongnanhai. This made Yu Fan feel envious. He didn't know if he would have the opportunity in the future. Moving in. Looking at Yu Fan's expression, Lin Dongfang smiled slightly. How could he not guess Yu Fan's thoughts. Being able to live in Zhongnanhai means entering the core of power in China. That is an honor. .But more of it represents a kind of responsibility. Thinking of this, Lin Dongfang's face became serious.
The place where Mr. Qian lives seems to be very quiet. The two of them have been inspected at all levels along the way. After all, it is the place where the country's leaders live. The strict security is not comparable to other places. Even as Lin Dongfang, he is in After showing the ID several times, I was allowed to enter.
Everything in Zhongnanhai seemed very novel to Yu Fan. Because it was morning, you could see some old people walking from time to time along the way, and some doing Tai Chi. Looking at these, it was like doing morning exercises in the park. Yu Fan was an ordinary old man. The shock in Yu Fan's heart became bigger and bigger each time. Many familiar faces Yu Fan had seen on TV since he was a child. But now they appeared so real in front of him. For a moment, he couldn't help but feel like he was dreaming. like feeling.
When he saw Qian Lao, the old man was also doing Tai Chi. Yu Fan was very impressed by his smooth movements. However, neither of them dared to disturb the old man. They just stood aside quietly until a set of Tai Chi. After the beating, Mr. Qian glanced at them, nodded and said, "Here we come. Dongfang. Come and practice some too. It's very good for your health."
Lin Dongfang walked forward with Yu Fan. Lin Dongfang smiled and said: "Your old man's Tai Chi is getting better and better. I don't dare to show my shame in front of you." Mr. Qian took the towel handed by the staff on the side and was wiping it. After hearing this, Khan pointed at Lin Dongfang with a smile and said: "You little monkey, why are you speaking in an official tone in front of me? I taught you all your Tai Chi. There is no need to show off one's ugliness."
Little monkey. Yu Fan was a little stunned when he heard this. Nowadays, the only people who can call Lin Dongfang little monkey are people like Mr. Qian. But from this, Yu Fan can also tell that the relationship between Mr. Qian and the Lin family is actually unusual. . This can be clearly seen from the brief conversation between the two just now.
Just as he was thinking about it, Mr. Qian looked at Yu Fan with a smile. "I heard your grandfather said that you also have a very special set of fitness boxing techniques. It was passed down to the ancient miracle doctor Hua Tuo's 'Five Animals Opera'. Come and hit me." Once again, let me gain some knowledge. Haha." Yu Fan felt nervous when he heard this. He couldn't help but look at Lin Dongfang. Lin Dongfang smiled and nodded towards him.
Yu Fan has been practicing the "Five Animals" boxing technique with very little interruption since he learned it in Dapu County. The longer he practiced, the more Yu Fan marveled at the breadth and depth of this boxing technique, especially in terms of strengthening the body. This boxing technique is almost It brings the theory of modern bionics into full play. Although it is not as elegant as Tai Chi in terms of gorgeousness, its fitness effect is even better than that of Tai Chi.
Seeing Yu Fan jumping up and down in a vigorous manner, Mr. Qian also smiled and nodded. The fitness boxing method of "Five Animals" is still widely spread in China. Mr. Qian had also done some research on it. It's just that the authentic "Wu Qin Xi" boxing method has very high requirements on the flexibility of the body. The old man's bones are already very loose. Doing it forcefully is harmful to the health. So I gave up. At this time, I saw Yu Fan finished the whole set of boxing methods. .The old man was also quite emotional.
"Okay. It is indeed something left by our ancestors." Hehe smiled. Mr. Qian waved his hand and said: "Let's go. Go sit in the house."
