One day in early March 1991.
Xu Jianguo, who was at work, received the news from Fu Bo that Wen Yuanxin had passed away.
Because there were no family members around, the hospital planned to contact the funeral home directly to take his body away for cremation.
As for where his ashes will be buried after cremation, the hospital staff will not care, because what they will do next is to file a lawsuit to recover the hospitalization expenses owed by Wen Yuanxin.
After learning the news, Xu Jianguo thought for a moment and decided not to tell his wife for the time being.
Afterwards, he sent a message to Fu Bo, asking him to help take care of Wen Yuanxin's funeral. After the cremation, they could find a cemetery to bury him directly.
When it was almost time to get off work in the evening, Uncle Fu brought a message saying that Wen Yuanxin's funeral had been arranged and his ashes were buried in the cemetery in Dongtawawa of the government office.
After Xu Jianguo replied with a "received", he ended the communication with Fu Bo.
When they returned home in the evening, after the family had eaten, chatted, washed up and prepared to go to bed, Xu Jianguo told Wen Sitian the news of Wen Yuanxin's death, and also told her that he had asked Fu Bo to bury his ashes.
After hearing this, Wen Sitian stood there in a daze, not saying a word for a long time, and then tears fell from her eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo quickly hugged her in his arms. He could understand Wen Sitian's inner struggle.
On the one hand, there is blood ties, and on the other hand, there are all kinds of nightmarish experiences in childhood, which make Wen Sitian, who is originally decisive, fall into conflicting emotions.
It was precisely because Xu Jianguo knew her inner thoughts that he took the initiative to ask Fu Bo to help bury Wen Yuanxin.
It is said that death is like the extinguishing of a light. No matter what kind of person Wen Yuanxin was when he was alive, he is no longer with us now. Let these bad memories be buried underground with his ashes.
After coaxing her for a while, Wen Sitian's emotions finally stabilized. She sniffed and said thank you to Xu Jianguo.
This time, Xu Jianguo did not say anything about the family not needing to say thank you, because he knew that Wen Sitian's thank you was meant to be a token of gratitude for Wen Yuanxin.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was May.
Jingzhou City has truly welcomed the spring when flowers bloom.
At this time, Xu Zhengyang and Hu Xiaohui had already boarded the train to Luzhou Jicheng, preparing to visit Hu Xiaohui's parents.
After nearly ten hours, the train successfully stopped at the platform of Jicheng Railway Station.
Because the departure time was relatively early, it was still light when the two arrived in Jicheng.
As the crowd walked outside, Xu Zhengyang was extremely nervous. He took deep breaths from time to time, trying to relieve his tension.
Hu Xiaohui looked at the fearless Xu Zhengyang's nervous look at this moment, and couldn't help but smile, and kept comforting him not to be nervous.
After the two of them had their tickets checked by the staff at the exit and just walked out of the exit, the sharp-eyed Hu Xiaohui saw the two familiar figures in military uniforms in the crowd of people waiting to get on the train, and immediately ran towards them.
Seeing this, Xu Zhengyang hurriedly followed her with his luggage bag.
"Dad, Mom!" Hu Xiaohui shouted with a smile on her face.
"Xiaohui!"
These two people were Hu Xiaohui's parents. After hearing their daughter say that she was going to bring her boyfriend to visit, the couple was so happy that they couldn't sleep well all night.
Although it is already the 1990s, the couple are naturally very anxious as their daughter is already 26 years old and has not found a partner yet.
But there was no point in being anxious. The two had introduced many outstanding young men to Hu Xiaohui before, but their daughter didn't like any of them. Later, she even rejected them without even looking at them. This made the couple feel a little desperate.
But unexpectedly, during the Chinese New Year this year, Hu Xiaohui, who returned home, had changed from her usual dullness and became much more cheerful.
It is said that no one knows a son better than his father, and no one knows a daughter better than her mother. The couple soon discovered something wrong and wondered if the girl was in love.
Sure enough, after they asked the questions in their hearts, Hu Xiaohui did not hide anything and directly admitted her relationship with Xu Zhengyang.
When the couple heard this, they were overjoyed and immediately asked about the man's specific situation and how they knew each other.
So, Hu Xiaohui told the whole story of how she and Xu Zhengyang met, got to know each other, and fell in love.
When the couple heard this, they were surprised. After four years of separation, they could still rekindle their relationship. No wonder she didn't want to go on the blind dates arranged by her family during that time. It turned out that she already had someone she liked.
When Hu Xiaohui's parents heard that Xu Zhengyang and his father were also soldiers, they were very excited and thought that their wish had finally come true.
However, when Hu Xiaohui learned that Xu Jianguo had the rank of lieutenant general and lived in the compound of the Jingzhou Central Security Bureau, the couple fell into extreme panic again.
It's no wonder that the two were worried. You have to know that in this era, those who can hold the rank of lieutenant general are basically close to sixty years old. So the couple subconsciously thought that Xu Zhengyang should be much older than Hu Xiaohui, at least eight years older.
Of course, Hu Xiaohui also noticed the seriousness in her parents' eyes. The smart girl reacted immediately and hurriedly told her parents Xu Zhengyang's age, which made them feel relieved.
Both of them are active-duty military personnel. When they learned that Xu Jianguo was only in his forties, they naturally understood the meaning behind it. Either he came from a prominent family, or he had made extraordinary contributions. Therefore, the couple was worried that their daughter was marrying up, and would not have a good life after getting married in the future.
However, they did not show their worries and decided to wait for an opportunity to meet Xu Zhengyang first.
At this time, outside Jicheng Railway Station, when Xu Zhengyang, wearing a military uniform and carrying two luggage bags, appeared in front of Hu Xiaohui's parents, the couple's eyes suddenly lit up, and they thought that their daughter had really good taste.
Xu Zhengyang took a deep breath, put the handbag in his hand on the ground, then stood at attention and saluted the two of them with a standard military salute. He said with a smile, "Hello, uncle, hello, auntie, my name is Xu Zhengyang, and I'm Xiaohui's boyfriend!"
Seeing this, the two men quickly returned the military salute. Then Hu Xiaohui's father, Hu Zhijun, said with a smile, "Hello, Xiao Xu! Welcome to Jicheng. You must have had a hard time on the road. Let's go home first, the car is outside!"
"yes!"
"Kid, we're not on a mission, there's no need to be so nervous. Once you're in Jicheng, just treat it like home. Relax!"
"Okay, Auntie!" Xu Zhengyang said with a silly smile, carrying his luggage bag and followed the three people outside.
