On April 10, 1995, Liu Lang had just celebrated his fifteenth birthday. At this time, he was discussing some matters with Wang Haijun in Shanghai. Suddenly his father called and informed him that Xiao Nanguang had passed away.
Lang immediately returned to Shencheng.
Although Liu Lang had been mentally prepared for a long time, his heart trembled after hearing the news. He and Mr. Xiao had known each other for eleven years. This old man who had experienced the baptism of war and had been fighting for the country's cause all his life finally finally
Time is running out, so take the first step.
Liu Lang still remembered that the other party went to Fucheng to "find" him out. That was eleven years ago, and then called the relevant national departments to recommend him. This was a gift of acquaintance. During the contact with Mr. Xiao,
Liu Lang also saw the other party's high integrity, his loyalty to the country, and his strictness to his family, which are all role models for the country.
From now on, Liu Lang's parents would visit Mr. Xiao in Shencheng every year, and Liu Lang would follow. Even though Liu Lang later studied abroad, he would still visit the old man during the winter and summer vacations. Later, Liu Lang had no time because he was too busy, but
Parents treat the elderly like family members and must visit several times a year.
A few years ago, the old man's health was not very good. During the Spring Festival, Liu Lang and his family went there once. At that time, the old man was bedridden. He was more than one meter tall and weighed less than 100 kilograms. He could only drink some rice soup every day.
Doctors say that these kinds of food are already irritating the qi and blood, and any medicine is useless.
But the old man's thinking was still very clear at that time, and he was very happy to see Liu Lang. He knew what Liu Lang had done over the years. In the old man's words: Liu Lang's contribution to the country was ten thousand better than that of a bad old man like himself.
Times, who can have such a mind?
Liu Lang didn't waste any time, rushed to the airport immediately, bought the nearest flight ticket, and returned to Shencheng the same day.
Liu Lang went to the funeral parlor and saw the old man. He was still so kind. Liu Lang kowtowed to the old man three times as a relative of a younger generation. This was what he should do. The old man's noble integrity was worth learning from him throughout his life.
"Liu Lang, my grandfather mentioned you when he left and asked me to learn from you!"
A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old said from the side. He was Xiao Xuesong, the youngest grandson of Mr. Xiao. He was one year older than Liu Lang and was considered a playmate of Liu Lang back then.
Liu Lang did not have a childhood like a child. Over the years, the two of them could not see each other several times a year. However, every time they met, Xiao Xuesong always called Liu Lang his brother, even though he was one year older than Liu Lang, so Liu Lang also
He treated him as his younger brother and gave him many gifts every time they met.
"Xue Song, Grandpa Xiao is a great man. All of us must learn from him!"
There were tears in Liu Lang's eyes. In his heart, Mr. Xiao was just like his grandfather. Even if he lived two more lives, he would be extremely sad when his relatives passed away.
Xiao Xuesong's father, Xiao Jinsong, came over.
"Liu Lang, he is gone, don't be too sad. My father once said that during the war, he went through life and death many times, and countless comrades died in front of his eyes. He was lucky to survive until peacetime, and he was still alive.
I lived until the reform and opening up and saw the country gradually
Becoming stronger is earned. If one day he leaves, he will definitely go to heaven to find his comrades in arms, tell them what has happened to the country over the years, make them happy, and let them know what they once were.
The bloodshed and sacrifice were not in vain, it was worth it!"
Xiao Jinsong's words were very casual, but they made Liu Lang burst into tears. This is a hero, a hero who is extremely free and easy even to death.
Mr. Xiao's memorial service was very grand. Although he repeatedly emphasized not to hold a memorial service during his lifetime, his honor was there, and the country would certainly not take the matter lightly. Both chief officials from Liaobei Province came, and Song Lifeng even came in person.
The host, Liu Lang and his parents stood on the side of the family.
For people like Xiao Nanguang, the country has to issue an official eulogy, which is the final word on his life. Words like loyal soldier, patriot, etc. are all well-deserved.
Liu Lang felt very sad, not only for Mr. Xiao, but also for those old people like Mr. Xiao. I am afraid that they will all leave one by one in the next few years.
Liu Lang's teacher, Xiong Huaizhi, is also thirteen years old this year. He could barely walk on crutches in the past two years, but he can't do it this year either. He has been paralyzed in bed. Liu Lang found three medical staff for him around the clock.
She took good care of him, wiped him every morning, helped him excrete, and put him in a wheelchair for a walk from time to time.
Mr. Xiong's thinking is not confusing, but it is precisely his clear thinking that makes him very painful. Just imagine how a person who has worked all his life will feel when he is old and can only lie in bed like a useless person. Liu Lang will feel sad every time he goes to see him.
, and Mr. Xiong’s biggest wish in life now is to see Norinco build the Discovery 2, and he will die in peace if he can see the world-class CNC machine tools independently manufactured by the country.
There are also Lu Mingzhi, Lu Tianming and other people who are close to Liu Lang. They are all in their tenth year. It can be said that they have reached the end of their lives. Liu Lang will send them away one by one, and they will have to endure pain every time.
There is no way.
At the end of the memorial service, Liu Lang spoke again as a representative of the younger generation, and his emotional speech made everyone feel the grace of Mr. Xiao again.
Many people present saw Liu Lang for the first time, and they also lamented the passage of time. Liu Lang, who was once a nationally famous prodigy, has become a tall and upright young man in the blink of an eye.
He is indeed very tall. The fifteen-year-old Liu Lang is 1.2 meters tall, which is taller than most adult men. With his fair skin and that kind of temperament, he is a handsome young man in every aspect. Of course, Liu Lang is
Lang's appearance is not that of a "handsome guy", but his temperament
He is really powerful and full of aura. He is the center of attention wherever he goes. There is nothing he can do about it. In the eyes of wealthy businessmen, he is the richest man in Asia with a net worth of over three billion US dollars. If he comes to the United States, he will be the second richest man in the United States.
, even many countries don’t have as much money as him.
In the eyes of officials, he is the pillar responsible for the development of the country's manufacturing industry. Bai Weiren and Jiang Botao both want to "please" him, especially when his Norinco Group develops so fast that all its products are sold to island countries, Europe, and even
It is the developed country of the United States that created the myth of domestic manufacturing. In a word: he is a national treasure and must not be offended.
Such a person personally told Xiao Nanguang's life. Many people felt that Mr. Xiao had made a lot of money and his life had not been in vain.
After Mr. Xiao's memorial service ended, everyone's mood gradually calmed down, and soon they left one after another, and Song Lifeng walked up to Liu Lang.
"Liu Lang, I know the relationship between you and Mr. Xiao, please forgive me and accept the change!"
"Well, life and death are natural laws. I just miss the past. Everything has to be moved forward."
Liu Lang sighed.
"You're right, we have to look forward. Fucheng is now well constructed! It has made huge progress compared to when I was there. Your economic growth rate has been the first in the province for two consecutive years, and your per capita income has also been
It has reached the third place in the province. If it continues to develop like this, the promise I made to Fucheng when I first took office will be fulfilled!"
