This day felt like a lifetime ago for Zhang Youbin. Lying in bed, Zhang Youbin truly felt the warmth of home for the first time in sixteen years.
"It seems that I have to change my life in a different way in the future..." Zhang Youbin thought as he looked at the ceiling. It feels so good to go home!
As for what he will do in the future, Zhang Youbin really feels a little confused. His current money is enough to live comfortably for a lifetime, but after returning home, Zhang Youbin has the burden of his family again.
Apart from anything else, Zhang Youbin must at least be a person with some achievements, so that he can reassure his relatives to the greatest extent. Moreover, due to the prominent family background of his two families, Zhang Youbin felt a kind of pressure. He only felt that no matter what, he would not be able to succeed.
You can't embarrass yourself in these two families.
The biggest problem at hand is no longer the security bureau and the mission. The biggest problem is the crisis faced by his grandfather's group. Zhang Youbin has not had the chance to tell his grandfather all this, but since he learned about it,
Just treat it as something you must solve.
Grandpa’s life-long effort, even if Zhang Youbin does not recognize his family, he will never allow anyone to try to destroy or plunder it. He will never let go of anyone who threatens his relatives!
…
The winter morning was extremely cold, but almost all of Zhang Youbin's clothes were left in that special prison. Now he doesn't even have any serious clothes to wear. But fortunately, there is nothing else in the military area, only military uniforms. Get Zhang Youbin one.
Putting on a well-fitting military uniform couldn't be easier.
The whole family was surprised by Zhang Youbin's unique temperament in a full military uniform. This is the unique temperament of a soldier who has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years. Moreover, because he is a mercenary, he looks even more unruly.
, this kind of temperament can never be found in military camps in peaceful times.
After having breakfast together, the whole family prepared to go to the Martyrs Cemetery to pay homage to Zhang Youbin's parents. Zhang Youbin's sister-in-law drove out in person to buy flowers for the memorial ceremony. After returning, the Zhang family and Tang Ze's couple took the guard company.
The car drove to the Martyrs Cemetery.
Except for Zhang Youbin's uncle and his family who did not come, all his immediate family members went together. Zhang Youbin, who was sitting in the car, was very excited. This was his wish for more than ten years and he finally had the opportunity to complete it.
Driving is not allowed in the mausoleum area. This is a sign of respect for the deceased and everyone should abide by it, so dozens of people, including the guards, got off the car and walked on the forest path, surrounded by rows of neat tombstones.
, the people buried here are all martyrs who have made great contributions to the motherland, and even directly sacrificed their lives for the country. The conspicuous red five stars on the tombstone make people feel very respectful.
There is no difference in appearance between the tombs of Zhang Youbin's parents and other tombs. They are not special because of their prominent family background. When Zhang Youbin approached the tombs of his parents under the leadership of his grandfather and grandpa, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, abnormally fast, and the air
It seemed as if most of the oxygen had suddenly been lost, making breathing very rapid and difficult.
Standing in front of the tombstone, Zhang Youbin couldn't even stand the moment he looked at the names and portraits of his parents on the tombstone. His head exploded with a buzzing sound. He knelt in front of his parents' tombstone in despair, his whole body
There was no movement at all. I just stared at the tombstone in a daze.
The past seems to have happened yesterday. Yesterday, I was still a child who didn't understand anything. He lived a carefree and happy life with his parents. The voices and smiles of his parents once again appeared in Zhang Youbin's mind, which made him feel happy.
His tear ducts could no longer be controlled. Tears rushed out and fell silently on the concrete floor.
In Zhang Youbin's view, his parents gave him two lives, once to bring him into this world, and once to exchange his own life for the opportunity to continue to stay in this world.
The guilt in the past sixteen years has never weighed me down like today. I have not worshiped in front of my parents' mausoleum in sixteen years. In Zhang Youbin's view, this is so unfilial...
"Dad, Mom...I'm back." Zhang Youbin muttered as if he was demented, and almost no one could hear clearly what he was saying.
"I'm sorry..." Zhang Youbin felt that his eyes were filled with tears, and he couldn't even see clearly the appearance of his parents on the tombstone.
"Dad, Mom, forgive me for having the opportunity to come and see you all these years." Zhang Youbin then said in a voice that could only be heard by himself: "I used to always think that if we hadn't encountered that misfortune, our family would be better now.
How happy it will be to be together. You will watch me finish elementary school, middle school, and college. I will bring my beloved girl back to you. She will be a beautiful and kind woman like my mother, who will help
Come with me and honor you well..."
"I have changed. No matter what excuses I use to explain the things I have been doing for so many years, I am still an executioner with hands stained with the blood of others. I have failed to live up to your expectations of me...I have failed to live up to everyone.
The expectations of my relatives for me..."
"After so many years, I finally went home. It feels so good to be at home, but you are missing... Sadly, I am used to it now, and I have to get used to it."
Zhang Youbin gently wiped the photo on the tombstone with his hand, and then said: "Dad said that a real man, no matter good or bad, strong or weak, must stick to his beliefs, know how to consider the people around him, and be considerate.
A sense of responsibility and a brave heart..."
"But I'm not... I'm not a qualified man, I'm not a qualified son. I have never learned to think about my relatives. I have made them worry about me for so many years, and it's also because I have carried the psychological burden for so many years..."
Zhang Youbin was already a little incoherent and was crying. His relatives were standing behind him, and they were all moved to tears at this moment. Zhang Youbin's sister-in-law stepped forward and handed a bouquet of white lilies to Zhang Youbin, comforting her softly.
Said: "Jingjing, don't be too sad, come and give a bouquet of flowers to your elder brother and sister-in-law."
Zhang Youbin took the flowers with gratitude, carefully placed them in front of his parents' tombstones, and then respectfully kowtowed three times to his parents' tombstones.
"You have the greatest kindness to me, but I have no chance to repay you. If there is another life, I still want to be your son. Being your son is the greatest honor of my life!"
Then, Zhang Jiadong walked to the tombstone with flowers in hand and squatted down, staring at the tombstone and choked up: "Lingwei, Wanqiu, every time I come to see you, I always apologize to you. One, it's for the things I committed back then."
I apologize to you for my mistake, and the other one is to apologize to you for not being able to find Jingjing’s whereabouts. Now Jingjing is finally back. You two know each other well, and you should feel happy..."
"Jingjing is the blood of our Zhang family. I will definitely try my best to cultivate him. Don't worry, I won't make the same mistakes again. Jingjing is a very outstanding child, although I don't know much about him.
"More. But he is a loving and righteous man, and he will definitely have great achievements in the future. Just wait and see!"
Tang Ze was also very sad. He knelt down next to Zhang Jiadong and said, "It's been sixteen years, Wanqiu and Lingwei, you two have been watching. Dad hasn't come to see you together with Lao Zhang in sixteen years. That's all."
Dad is too stubborn. Now Dad promises you that this will never happen again. I will work with my in-laws to cultivate Jingjing carefully, so you two can rest assured."
"Old Tang..." Zhang Jiadong said with emotion: "Ever since the children had an accident, the two of us have never spoken so calmly as today."
Tang Ze smiled self-deprecatingly, sighed and said: "Yeah... more than ten years have passed, and the children have grown into grown men. Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, the two of us have become full-grown men.
My hair is gray."
"Finally, I no longer have to feel guilty about Jingjing's affairs." Zhang Jiadong said happily: "Jingjing's future is the hope of our two families. I believe he can do a good job."
Tang Ze nodded and smiled in agreement: "He has a majestic feeling in many places, but he also has the same military temperament as you. After listening to Jingjing's stories for so many years, I also believe that he can do it.
To the best!”
Then, the two old brothers helped each other stand up and retreated behind everyone.
The order in which the Zhang family came to worship was basically the same. Except for Zhang Youbin, Zhang Jiadong always came first, followed by Zhang Youbin's aunt, then his uncle, and finally his sister-in-law.
Among these people, Zhang Youbin's sister-in-law Zhang Xiaoyang cried the most, because she had regarded Zhang Youbin's father as her idol since she was a child, and Zhang Youbin's father was the one who loved Zhang Xiaoyang the most among these people, although he was not
His biological sister, but he tried his best to give Zhang Xiaoyang more love than his biological brother. Even after he had a child, he never weakened his love for her.
Zhang Youbin's mother is the most perfect woman Zhang Xiaoyang has ever seen, so that she has been imitating Zhang Youbin's mother since adolescence, determined to become a woman as beautiful and smart as her sister-in-law.
Yang's feelings for them have never diminished even after they were separated for so many years.
After everyone paid their respects one by one, white lilies were piled in front of the tombstone of Zhang Youbin's parents. Everyone bowed deeply to the tombstone three more times before leaving reluctantly.
