Chapter 535: The People's Good Son
The weekend arrived as expected.
After lunch, Song Qinian took a shower and changed his clothes, then said to Bai Wei, "Honey, do you think this military uniform looks good on me?"
"suitable."
Bai Wei said softly without tying a single knot.
"Brother, you look so handsome today."
"Just like a groom."
Song Qifu looked at it again and again, and then said to Song Qinian.
"You are such a good talker, little brat. When your brother was a groom, he was not as particular as he is today."
Song Qinian said proudly while looking in the mirror.
"Commissar, the jeep is coming."
The guard stood in front of Song Qinian and spoke in a low voice.
"The car is here, let's go immediately."
Song Qinian glanced at the wall clock, waved his hand, and everyone followed Song Qinian out of the living room.
Bai Wei was holding Yisi, Chen Fangfang was holding Yile, Xiao Meng was pushing the stroller, and He Yihuan was carrying a big bag.
The stroller was filled to the brim with supplies for the twins.
The Red Flag car and the green jeep, polished to a shine, were parked outside the gate.
Bai Wei looked at the two cars with the national flag flying, and her eyes instantly became moist.
She got into the Red Flag car for the first time, sat in the back seat, and said to Song Qinian: "The honor and treatment we have now are all earned by your life and blood."
"I am a soldier, and it is my duty to follow orders! As long as you understand me, you won't have to worry about anything."
Song Qinian said it lightly, but Bai Wei's heart was filled with emotion when he heard it.
I murmured in my heart, there is no such thing as a peaceful time. It was the bloody battles fought by the people's soldiers on the border that brought us the peaceful times.
Her feelings for Song Qinian were nothing but love and admiration.
The wheels were spinning fast, and in less than half an hour, two cars stopped at the entrance of the auditorium.
A creaking sound.
The driver opened the car door and jumped out of the cab.
He opened the back door, put his hand on the balcony, and tried to help Song Qinian get out of the car.
Song Qinian's expression suddenly changed, and he said to the driver coldly: "I have told you so many times that you are not allowed to do this. I can get off the car by myself, and I won't hit my head."
"yes."
The driver quickly withdrew his hand and said weakly.
Song Qinian got out of the car holding Yisi, and Bai Wei got out of the car holding Yile, following Song Qinian.
Xiao Meng was very considerate and hurried over pushing the stroller.
The couple placed the twins in the stroller and headed toward the auditorium.
The group followed Song Qinian and Bai Wei and walked into the auditorium.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
As a series of pleasant bells rang, the curtain on the podium slowly opened.
A female officer in military uniform stood on the podium and said with a smile: "Hello, leaders, comrades, and guests!"
"The whole army's heroes and models conference is held at this moment."
…
As soon as the female clerk's voice fell, there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.
Before the applause died down, the clear and sweet voice of the female official sounded again: "Now, please invite the heroes and models to step onto the rostrum and accept the inspection of the leader."
Wow...
There was another round of enthusiastic applause from the audience.
Led by the young soldiers of the ceremonial guard, Song Qinian walked into the entrance leading to the rostrum.
Bai Wei looked at Song Qinian's back and gave the warmest applause to her lover, to dear Comrade Old Song.
Song Qinian stood on the podium. He looked at the audience and saw Bai Wei waving at him desperately. He felt warm in his heart.
At this time, the band played the victory march behind the rostrum.
The heads of military regions and the heads of the National Military Commission all took to the podium.
They will adorn the heroes with red ribbons, and present them with awards and honors.
The scene cannot be described as grand, nor can it be explained as solemn.
This is the moment when soldiers receive the greatest honor. It is also the greatest reward from the Party and the people for the soldiers who sacrifice their lives to defend their country.
At this time, a leader who was over fifty years old stood in front of Song Qinian, put a red ribbon on Song Qinian, and put a big red flower on him.
He said to Song Qinian: "Young man, well done! You are worthy of being a good son of the people."
"You need to continue to work harder and make new contributions in your job."
Song Qinian listened to the old leader's words of encouragement.
Especially when he heard that he was a good son of the people, he was moved to tears.
He saluted the old leader and said loudly: "Please rest assured, leader, I will work hard."
"We will not disappoint the hopes of the party and the people."
Song Qinian spoke very loudly, and his voice was amplified several times by the loudspeaker. His voice echoed in the air above the auditorium.
"The party and the people believe in you."
The old leader was none other than Yu Chengran’s father, Yu Jiageng.
He knew Song Qinian, but Song Qinian didn't know who the old leader was?
But he felt that the old leader had also experienced gunfire and hail of bullets, and his righteousness explained everything.
Yu Jiageng's voice was amplified several times by the loudspeaker, circling and reverberating above the auditorium and then entering everyone's ears.
After hearing the conversation between Song Qinian and the leader, Bai Wei stood up from his chair and felt the urge to join the army.
Only then did I deeply understand why Song Qinian was so fearless in the face of the enemy, putting his life and death aside.
As a good son of the people, Song Qinian braved the enemy's artillery fire and marched forward courageously.
The ceremony of wearing red and flowers ended quickly.
The curtain slowly fell.
Then, the military band played the Liberation Army March.
The music seemed to open a box of memories, instantly bringing everyone back to the war era.
"Forward, forward, our team is facing the sun, standing on the land of the motherland, shouldering the hope of the nation..."
The audience in the audience stood up and hummed along with the music as they listened to the majestic and powerful music.
The curtain slowly opened again.
The pretty female clerk smiled and said, "The awarding ceremony has begun."
Before she finished her words, there was another round of warm applause from the audience.
Bai Wei clapped his hands while looking at the officers and soldiers standing on the stage.
Among them was Song Qinian. She stood up and clapped her hands hard, wanting to give the warmest applause to her beloved.
At this time, the female officer stood on the rostrum and said with a smile: "Now, please invite Marshal Yu Jiageng to confer the honor on Song Qinian!"
Wow~~~
There was another round of enthusiastic applause from the stage.
Many people looked towards the stage, wondering what military title Song Qinian was awarded.
"Political Commissar Song Qinian was awarded the title of General."
"Everyone applaud and congratulate."
Before the female official finished her words, Marshal Yu Jiageng awarded Song Qinian the Outstanding Commander Medal and the First-Class Model of Heroes Medal.
"Thank you, Commander."
Song Qinian saluted Marshal Yu Jiageng and then spoke loudly.
"I am standing on the stage thanks to your help. You must work hard."
Yu Jiageng looked at Song Qinian, then looked at the audience. When he saw his son had also arrived, a kind smile appeared on his face.
Song Qinian saw Yu Chengran in the audience and waved to him.
Bai Wei turned around and saw Yu Chengran, and said with a smile: "It's you that Song Qinian wants to see the most."
"I want to see him, too."
Yu Chengran was relieved. The hero finally stood on the stage and accepted the medal.
