Chapter 370 The Song Family's Shock
If they had doubts about anything else, the special project honor list approved by the old leader made it impossible for them to doubt the importance of this little girl.
He was awarded the rank of major general, 1 medal, and one individual second-class merit.
Any one of them is an honor that can bring you pride for the rest of your life.
They looked Lin Qingqing up and down again.
Seeing her gentle and steady demeanor, her eyes solemn and calm, and her every word and action suitable for today's occasion, without the slightest sign of panic or nervousness, I secretly admired her in my heart.
Since ancient times, Chinese people have believed that appearance reflects the heart, and they judge whether a person's character and mentality can accomplish great things based on his or her words and deeds.
Everyone unconsciously compared their younger generations with Lin Qingqing, and shook their heads in their hearts, thinking that it would be difficult for their kids to earn the rank of major general even if they were eighty years old.
Lin Qingqing sat with Deputy Commander Liao in the third row of the audience seats on the side.
As soon as Deputy Commander Liao sat down, he saluted the body of the old leader on the stage in the auditorium. Lin Qingqing sat upright with her hands on her knees.
She looked towards the stage and saw that it was her man.
Song Yiyuan was wearing a new military uniform and standing beside the ice coffin in a standard military posture.
He stared solemnly ahead, like a robot without blinking.
Behind him is Song Yunhai.
The eight people around the ice coffin stood like machines, with expressionless and solemn looks.
Lin Qingqing sat to the left of Deputy Commander Liao, with two empty seats next to her.
After a while, more people came over, and Lin Qingqing finally saw an acquaintance, Song's mother.
Mother Song walked out of the small door at the back of the auditorium with a pale face. She came to the third row and sat down next to Lin Qingqing, staring at the stage with lifeless eyes.
Seeing that she didn't see her at all, Lin Qingqing cleared her throat. Song's mother turned her head and saw that it was her fourth daughter-in-law.
A look of great surprise finally appeared on her pale face, but because it was a memorial service, she did not ask loudly, "Why are you here?"
She saw Lin Qingqing in a military uniform, with the rank of major general, two medals, and a second-class merit medal on his chest. She covered her mouth with her hands, her eyes full of disbelief.
Wasn’t he a colonel before?
She turned her head slightly and saw Deputy Commander Liao beside Lin Qingqing, and she probably understood.
Deputy Commander Liao used to be the bodyguard of his old leader, so the identity of his fourth daughter-in-law must have been kept secret before this.
She turned around with surprise and joy to look at her emaciated fourth son on the stage, and finally understood what he meant when he said that she was not worthy of Qingqing.
Her mind went blank. In addition to the old man, there were three generals in the family. This was a fantasy in any military family.
She took a deep breath. Fortunately, she had not deliberately treated her fourth daughter-in-law badly before. Having a daughter-in-law who was a major general was unique in all military regions across the country.
Song Xu also came out of the small door at this time. He walked to the second row and saw Lin Qingqing at a glance.
Although his face was full of surprise, he still walked over steadily without stopping.
When he walked past Lin Qingqing and saw the military rank and medals on her chest, he was stunned for half a second, then sat down as usual and stared at the stage.
However, his tightly furrowed brow revealed his doubts.
As time went on, more and more people came into the auditorium.
There were still ten minutes until the game started. Song Yunhui and his comrades came in from the small door one after another. He looked solemn, staring straight ahead, marching in military steps, as reserved and steady as he always was.
When he passed the third row and saw Song's mother, his eyes were about to turn back, but suddenly he turned back to look at the female soldier next to Song's mother.
Fourth sister-in-law!
She is really the fourth sister-in-law!!
He was stunned for a moment, and the second time he looked at her military rank and medals impatiently, he was unable to move.
The sudden stop almost caused his comrades behind him to bump into him.
His comrade coughed lightly, and Song Yunhui quickly reacted. He took a step to the fourth row, walked in, found his name and sat down.
He looked at Lin Qingqing a few more times, his heart was like a turmoil, and all kinds of thoughts kept popping up.
He even wondered if Lin Qingqing was a secret figure in the country, and that his fourth brother was carrying out a mission, and the two of them were playing the role of husband and wife.
It was really a sudden thing for the two of them to get married. His fourth brother had been adamant that he would never get married.
He didn't see any clues from the elders in the family about the identity of his fourth brother's wife.
Wasn’t it said that my fourth brother’s wife was from the countryside? How come she is now a major general?
His head was a mess.
Song Yunhai on the stage was not in a much better condition. He was not as steady as Song Yunhui, and now he was being watched by everyone present, and he could hardly stand at attention.
He glared fiercely at Song Yiyuan in front of him, intending to give his younger brother a good beating after this. Was it fun to give them such a surprise?
Time passed quickly as the two Song brothers were lost in their thoughts, and it was seven o'clock.
Everyone return to your seats and keep quiet.
Lin Qingqing was sitting in the front row and was stared at from time to time. Those people's eyes were like scanning machines. Fortunately, she could withstand it and remained calm throughout the whole process.
The door to the conference room at the back of the auditorium opened and seven or eight core leaders walked out.
The three old men are among them.
It seems that this meeting did not go well. Grandpa Song was fine, but Grandpa Tong's beard was about to stand up to the sky and his eyes were full of anger.
A man walked to the first row on the left and sat down. The area on the right was occupied by seats belonging to the Kyoto Military Region.
The mourning host was a leader in his thirties. He walked slowly to the podium and began to read from the script in his hand: "Today we gather together to bid farewell to our..."
Then a leader in his teens came to the stage to give a speech, and the first twenty minutes or so were just opening remarks.
At 7:30, the condolence session began.
The leader who presided over the condolences began to call people to the stage with a list.
"Marshal Song, Marshal Tong, and Marshal Cai, please come to the stage to pay your respects."
The three old men stepped out of the line, walked over in military steps, stopped side by side in front of the stage, and waited for the host to call for a salute.
"A bow~"
The three old men placed their arms at their sides, looked solemn, bent their waists to 90 degrees, leaned forward and bowed, and stood up together after a three-second pause.
