Tonight's meeting was a short one, and it ended in half an hour. When they came out, it started raining again, so everyone had to leave one after another with umbrellas.
"Ouch..."
A group of kids were running home in the rain, bumping into and tripping several elderly people in front of them, causing five or six of them to fall into a pile.
Han Zheng happened to be standing at the door. Seeing that the grandfather was among the people who fell, he immediately rushed over to help him: "Grandpa, where did you fall?"
"I bumped my knee and my leg seems to be a little strained." Old Man Han's face was tense with pain.
Seeing that no one else was seriously injured, and only Grandpa Han was injured, the captain hurriedly said, "Zhengzi, quickly carry Grandpa Han back to the conference room and check him first."
After saying that, he yelled at the children who hadn't gone far yet: "What are you running for? You've knocked down the old people. Come back here!"
Han Zheng held his grandfather and sat down on a stool. Yun Huaying was the only one in the production team who knew medicine. She called out to the back, "Huaying, my grandfather fell and seems to have hurt his leg. Please take a look at him."
"good."
Yun Huaying had just been sitting in the corner at the back, but now she squeezed through the crowd.
"Who has a flashlight? Give it to me and shine it over."
Secretary Tian was holding a kerosene lamp, but the light was a little dim. He borrowed a flashlight from the crowd and pointed to the small door at the back. "Those of you who are in a hurry to go back, go to the back. Don't all leave through this door. Go back and teach your children not to run around so recklessly."
When Yun Huaying squeezed over, the flashlight was also handed over. Han Zheng lifted up her grandfather's trouser leg, and she immediately squatted down to check his injured leg.
"The knee isn't broken, just a minor bruise and a strained thigh muscle. Apply some medicine for bruises and injuries and rest at home for two or three days and you'll be fine."
"It's good that no bones are broken." Han Zheng was relieved.
Yun Huaying helped him put down his trouser legs and looked up at Old Man Han. This was the first time she met an elder. Han Zheng's appearance and facial features were somewhat similar to his. He had tanned skin, a thin figure, and a pair of eyes full of experience. Even though he was dressed in ordinary clothes, he exuded the iron-blooded temperament unique to an old revolutionary.
As she was looking at the elder, Mr. Han was also looking at her. When he saw her appearance clearly, a rare shock appeared on his face: "You, you are..."
Han Zheng, lighting the way with a flashlight, saw Grandpa's shocked expression, glanced at Yun Huaying, and quickly asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Mr. Han didn't answer him, but asked the girl in front of him: "Your name is Yun Huaying?"
"yes."
Yun Huaying just saw the shock in his eyes and frowned slightly: "Grandpa Han, it seems like this is the first time we meet."
"This is the first time we meet."
Old Man Han slowly put away the surprise in his eyes, thinking about what his grandson had told him before, and then seeing her familiar face, he asked in a certain tone: "Are you Yun Qing's granddaughter?"
Now it was Yun Huaying's turn to be surprised, "Grandpa Han, do you know my grandfather?"
Seeing that she was really Yun Qing's granddaughter, Old Man Han sighed and said with a nostalgic tone: "I know your grandparents. Your grandfather is Yun Qing, five years younger than me. Your grandmother is Ruan Fengyi. You look like your grandmother. You are about 60% like her when she was young."
There is a photo of my grandmother at home. She looks like my mother, and my mother looks very much like my grandmother. They both have the image and temperament of true ladies.
Yun Huaying was about to speak when Old Man Han said, "What's your mother's name?"
"Yun Jinghong."
"Yes, yes, her name is Yun Jinghong."
Old Man Han remembered, and the memory in his mind somewhat overlapped with the girl in front of him. "The last time I saw your mother, she was still a little girl in her teens. Your grandparents brought her up very politely. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs. Even at such a young age, she was well-spoken and could recite famous sayings without a second thought. She behaved gracefully in front of us elders, not at all nervous or pretentious. At the time, I even joked with Grandma Zhengzi, discussing that when she grew up, we would definitely send one of our sons to bring her home as a daughter-in-law."
Yun Huaying: “…”
Han Zheng didn't expect that his grandfather knew the elders of the Yun family, so he quickly asked, "Grandpa, did our family and the Yun family have a good relationship in the past?"
"We are all from the same circle. The Yun family is a local, and we joined later."
Old Man Han's answer provided Yun Huaying with some clues. Looking at her cool yet beautiful face, he recounted some past events: "Your grandparents were our family's benefactors. When my husband and I were young, we fought in the army and suffered many injuries. After the war ended, our work and family settled down. We hired a doctor to check on us regularly, and your grandfather was our family doctor."
"Your grandfather healed all the injuries my wife and I had sustained during years of fighting. Later, we were transferred to work in the east, and our children remained in Kyoto, where my parents-in-law helped take care of them."
"In the mid-1950s, a small-scale malaria outbreak occurred in Kyoto, and Zhengzi's father and aunt were infected. They were young and not as strong as adults, and we, as parents, were not around. The two elderly people in the family had no choice but to follow the policy from above and send the two children to a designated special hospital."
"Your grandfather was the leader of the malaria control effort at the time. He single-handedly formulated the medicine that suppressed the disease and saved the lives of thousands of people in Kyoto."
"The two children later recovered and returned home. They told us that your grandmother personally took care of them during that time. She also took care of many other children infected with malaria."
At this point, thinking of the Yun family's current situation, Old Man Han sighed with sorrow, "Your Yun family has been practicing medicine for generations, with the mission of saving lives and healing the wounded. Your grandfather dedicated himself to the nation's medical cause. Your grandmother came from a prominent family, and her family raised countless supplies and financial support for the War of Resistance. The couple was deeply in love and was once a role model for the entire community."
"It's a pity that they all died young because of the fate of the world."
"Their untimely deaths are a great loss to the country."
This was the first time Yun Huaying heard about her grandparents from outsiders. Although Grandpa Han didn't say much, she had some guesses that her grandparents once had a very high status in the medical community.
The health doctor is the full-time doctor for the top leaders. She knew a medical giant in her previous life who was responsible for daily physical examinations for the top leaders.
It seems that the Yun family’s hatred involves the powerful circle in Kyoto.
"It's such a pity for your mother. She was such a beautiful and intelligent girl. Your grandparents put in countless efforts and energy to raise her. She was the apple of their eye. But in the end..." Mr. Han felt heartbroken when he thought about how his old friend's family had been harmed so badly.
