Gong Xue didn't come to the rehearsal because Gong Lao was ill.
I had an acute angina pectoris attack and was rushed to the provincial hospital for emergency treatment before I finished lunch.
Except for Gong Xue, there was no other immediate family member in the family who could make the decision. When she received the critical illness notification from the doctor, Aunt Tian burst into tears outside the ICU door.
Who would have thought?
Mr. Gong, who has always been in good health, will suffer from a heart artery infarction.
Gong Xue, who had fought hard for two days and two nights for the high school entrance examination, remained calm in the face of the sudden blow. She notified her second uncle in Linshi while trying to find a way to notify her parents in Yunnan.
Dad left a military line number for grandpa to contact in case of emergency, but he needed to be transferred twice.
The head of the special brigade base talked to Gong Xuetong and told her that her parents were not at the base and would not be back for a while. Gong Xue knew without any explanation that her parents were on an important mission and it was impossible to rush back to Mobei.
But when I thought about my grandfather's condition and how I missed my eldest son, I couldn't help but ask the commander with a hint of resentment. Can a very old soldier not want his parents and relatives?
The chief was at a loss for words by her question. He was silent for a long time before saying three extremely heavy words to her.
sorry.
I'm sorry, is that okay?
Gong Xue has never had such a strong resistance to the profession of soldiers as she does now. Perhaps, very early on, when she was very young, she had lost her trust and admiration for soldiers in desperate waiting.
Why are other people's families happy and happy, but the Gong family is always lonely and deserted?
Why don't other people's parents have to suffer the pain of longing, but my grandfather is seriously ill and can't see his beloved son.
Why can other people's daughters act like a spoiled child around their parents, but Gong Xue can't...
Why?
Why can’t people from the Gong family do it?
Among the junior high school students in the Experimental Middle School, there were also a few children from the military compound. The classmate who happened to help Shi Jingtian change his role as host was one of them. He knew about the incident that had happened in the Gong family and accidentally revealed it during the conversation.
Here, Xie Fei was making Su Lianlian happy when a huge push suddenly hit him, pushing him directly from the last row of seats into the crowded aisle.
Xie Fei yelled angrily: "What a coward..." Before his son could say anything, he received a heavy slap on the back of his head.
"It's me!" Shi Jingtian grabbed Xie Fei's sportswear hat and walked out.
Xie Fei struggled, "Brother Shi, what's the urgent matter... Wait until I talk to Lianlian... Brother Shi... ah..."
Shi Jingtian had already pulled him to the door. Thinking of something, he dragged Xie Fei back and found the frightened Su Lianlian, pointing at her.
"Xiaoxue's grandfather is in the provincial hospital for emergency treatment. You should come too!"
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Jingtian took Xie Fei, Su Lianlian, Zhang Zikang and others to the cardiac ICU ward of the provincial hospital.
The outside of the ICU was crowded with people from the military subdivision. Nurses and doctors were among them, and they didn’t know what they were arguing about. Shi Jingtian pushed aside the crowd and saw the dark red door of the ward, and also saw the silent and forgotten Gong on one side.
