Chapter 320 Cultural Performance, Social Gathering?
The moment the old man closed his eyes, suppressed sobs drifted intermittently from the room.
This was the first time Jiang Ning had experienced the death of a loved one. Looking at the old man who had passed away peacefully on the bed, and at everyone else in the room, she felt a pang of sadness.
Finally, Old Master He stood up and spoke.
He let go of Old Man Shen's hand, pulled over the white cloth, and slowly covered the person with it.
"Alright, this is a happy funeral for Old Man Shen," said Old Master He.
This old man Shen was blind and had made many mistakes in the past, but in the end, so many people were still standing in front of his bed, which did not fulfill his wish of 'dying alone'.
But he could have argued with him for a few more years, but he left early, which is also the result of the old man Shen's bad choice back then.
Immediately, Old Master He looked up at Shen's father and said, "Bingting, you should start preparing for your father's funeral. There will be a lot to do later."
At first, they didn't understand what "being busy" meant when Grandpa He said it was only when the family arranged the memorial service that they realized why they were busy.
On the day of the funeral.
Many guests came to pay their respects.
It includes some important figures that you would never normally see.
Grandpa Shen was eventually buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery in the capital. He had experienced countless battles throughout his life and finally survived the brutal battlefield.
With his past military achievements, he is worthy of being buried in a martyrs' cemetery.
As he dealt with the funeral arrangements for Old Master Shen, Father Shen became visibly depressed.
But they didn't remain depressed for long; life had to go on. The old man didn't pass away in pain, and they should be happy.
Not only was the Shen family distressed, but Old Master He, who kept muttering that he wasn't sad, would come to the Shen family's house every day to sit for a while.
Knowing that Jiang Ning and Xu Jin were busy with funeral arrangements, Dean Kong gave them leave, allowing them to return to work at the hospital only after the funeral was completely over.
In fact, after Mr. Shen's funeral, Shen Bingwei came back and caused a scene.
His words sounded like a tribute to his deceased grandfather, but one could tell from his words that he wanted his share of the family fortune to be his own.
As for why he didn't dare to cause trouble at the funeral, he did want to, but he wasn't blind.
Such important figures attended the old man's funeral. If he had dared to cause trouble, he would have had a hard time getting by anywhere in China, let alone the capital.
After the funeral, he went to his elder brother's house again, hoping to get his brother to soften his heart and leave him a share of the family property before he passed away.
As a result, he had just seized the opportunity to step into the Shen family's doorstep when his elder brother kicked him out.
The old man had already published a notice in the newspaper severing his father-son relationship with Shen Bingwei, and the Shen family no longer had the name Shen Bingwei.
Shen Bingwei was kicked out of the house by his father, and he hated him to the core, but he hated himself even more for being incompetent.
He wanted to fight for the family fortune, but he couldn't even get a step inside the Shen family's gate.
They're clearly family, the eldest brother is outstanding, but he was born so mediocre!
*
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The Shen family gradually emerged from the grief of the old man's passing.
Jiang Ning and Xu Jin also returned to their work at the hospital.
Jiang Ning spends her days seeing patients and helping compile books for the medical department of Capital University.
That day, Jiang Ning was leaving the hospital with her two children after get off work when she saw a car parked outside the hospital.
Jiang Ning knew at a glance that Shen Mo had come to pick her and the child up.
After securing the child to the back seat with Shen Mo, she turned to look at him.
It's noticeable that Shen Mo has lost a lot of weight recently.
Everyone knew that Grandpa Shen had passed away, but it was still a sudden departure, especially since he was a blood relative.
No matter how you feel inside, you'll feel bad for a while.
Only time can heal it.
Jiang Ning touched his chin.
Seeing the emotion in his wife's eyes, Shen Mo rubbed his chin against her palm and said with a smile—
"Wife, let's go home."
On the way home, Shen Mo told Jiang Ning about what Brigade Commander Liang had said at the meeting that day.
"The performing arts troupe that went out to perform before is back. Brigade Commander Liang plans to have the troupe put on a performance for the troops. Honey, you haven't seen the troupe perform yet, have you? Come to the camp and have a look!"
An artistic performance?
Jiang Ning had never seen a cultural performance before, and she was quite interested, so she immediately asked, "When is the performance?"
She had to ask about the time, since she was now a hospital worker and didn't have much free time.
Shen Mo said, "July 20th, that day happens to be a Saturday, which is your day off."
Hearing that it was a holiday, Jiang Ning readily agreed.
After agreeing, Jiang Ning suddenly remembered something, "I remember when the military puts on performances, aren't only the soldiers in your unit allowed to watch? Can military dependents go too?"
Although she had a good relationship with Brigade Commander Liang, she was not a member of the military after all. The military had strict discipline, and even military dependents rarely entered the military.
Jiang Ning asked this question because she wanted to clarify one thing: she couldn't let Shen Mo be punished.
Shen Mo knew what his wife was worried about, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, this was proposed by Brigade Commander Liang. Actually, this cultural performance was an alternative social event organized by Brigade Commander Liang. There are too many single men in the army, and it's not good to leave them unmanaged, so Brigade Commander Liang came up with this idea."
Jiang Ning immediately understood; no wonder they had put on such a show.
July 20th doesn't have any special holiday significance. Usually, when performing arts troupes put on shows for the troops, it's only on special occasions like August 1st or National Day.
When Shen Mo mentioned matchmaking, Jiang Ning recalled a meme from the real world: some netizens were begging the government to release their "husbands" (ideally, husbands), and they even went to the official website to ask.
This is just a real-life version of the government issuing husbands.
There are still a few days until July 20th.
The dance studio of the Capital Military Region Cultural Troupe.
Jiang Ting was stretching her legs on the leg press bar, sweating profusely, but her face showed no change.
She applied to join the cultural troupe in the capital before she even graduated from university.
From the time she got engaged to Lin Yufei before she went to university until now, after she has graduated, Lin Yufei has never mentioned submitting a marriage proposal to her.
Moreover, she had only seen Lin Yufei once in the past year, and that was three months ago.
Before that one meeting three months prior, she had come to the military region many times to look for him, but no one there told her Lin Yufei's whereabouts.
The military region even took back the house that Lin Yufei had applied for to allow her to stay temporarily, on the grounds that Lin Yufei said he was not married and should not occupy a quota in the family compound.
When Jiang Ting couldn't see Lin Yufei and learned that the house had been taken back, she panicked.
But thinking about it carefully, Lin Yufei has already been promoted to deputy battalion commander. If he wants to continue to rise, he must have to do a lot of tasks!
It's been more than two years since he was promoted to deputy battalion commander. Maybe he's been promoted again now, but she just doesn't know it.
Lin Yufei disappeared without a trace without saying goodbye, clearly going to do a mission.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ting felt a little more at ease.
However, she did not know that during the time Lin Yufei disappeared, he was taken to the General Military Hospital for secret treatment.
Jiang Ting saw Lin Yufei again when she was about to graduate and looking for a job.
Jiang Ting always dreamed of becoming a military officer's wife. Lin Yufei didn't contact her proactively, and of course, she wouldn't wait around waiting for him to come to her.
Every week after school, I would go to the camp to ask about Lin Yufei.
Finally, three months ago, she managed to find out that Lin Yufei had returned to his unit.
She requested to see Lin Yufei.
Lin Yufei came out to see her.
