Several times in dreams

Chapter 93 Two Empty Tombs
"What? Meng Wanyue is your cousin?"

"Yes, sir, do you know her?"

Liu Zhanqi stood up excitedly, his eyes were red.

"Old Liu, did you say that..."

Seeing this, Zhang Shumei quickly wiped her hands, took Pingping, and took Liu Zhanqi's arm, "Don't get excited, sit down and talk."

Meng Wanying didn't know what happened, she froze in place.

"Wanyue has been sacrificed for eight years. Since she only wrote her hometown in Shandong in the file back then, the organization has never found the specific address of your home, and the martyr certificate has been kept in the army..." Liu Zhanqi whispered.

Tears welled up in Meng Wanying's eyes, she didn't expect Wanyue to be long gone, the poor aunt still misses her all the time!
Zhang Shumei stroked Liu Zhanqi's shoulder, "Sister Meng, we are all destined."

Meng Wanying couldn't speak, she just nodded.

"That pen was given to Wanyue by me. It was agreed that we would get married after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, but unexpectedly...it became her relic."

Liu Zhanqi wiped away tears, "Xiao Meng, I will report this to the organization tomorrow, and you will take us to her house together!"

"En!" Meng Wanying burst into tears.

It was raining continuously, and when the jeep of the 24th Army was parked in front of Meng's house, Meng Xianjun had already been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Before receiving the call from the military division, Meng Xianjun was lucky about his sister's whereabouts. Maybe one day Meng Wanyue would show up at the door of his house, knock on the door with his luggage, and smile peacefully at him.

But after answering the phone, Meng Xianjun realized that he had been deceiving himself.

Years of combat experience has long reminded him that Wanyue is probably no longer alive, his lies deceived his mother and himself at the same time.

At this moment, he didn't know how to tell his mother Wanyue's whereabouts. A few days ago, he dug up all the things in the yard and dedicated them to the country, which had deeply hurt his mother.

He Jinlian hadn't spoken to him for a few days, and Meng Xianjun dedicated the wealth of Meng Zhaoxuan's family that he couldn't let go of before he died, and dedicated it to the country without blinking an eye.

Zhang Lingyu didn't stop him. Qinghong, who was brought up by himself, is now in middle school, worships Meng Xianjun extremely, and talks to He Jinlian about building a new China.

In the entire Meng family, Lin Lang was probably the only one who listened to her. Seeing that He Jinlian was lying in the room unhappy, she took a freshly washed peach and brought it to her mouth.

"Grandma, eat peaches." The five-year-old Lin Lang is as beautiful as a doll, and they say she is raising her son to help her uncle, and her daughter to help her aunt. Lin Lang looks exactly like Wan Yun when she was a child.

"Lin Lang, be good! Grandma won't eat it, you can eat it yourself!" He Jinlian looked at Lin Lang with kindness in her eyes.

Both Qinghong and Qinglian went to school. For some reason, neither Meng Xianjun nor Zhang Lingyu went to work. He Jinlian once thought that they stayed at home because they were unhappy with her.

"Grandma, there are guests at home!" Lin Lang blinked her big eyes and looked at He Jinlian.

"All the things have been moved, why come again?" He Jinlian is still brooding.

"My aunt is here too."

"Which aunt?"

"Yuhui's mother." Linlang was only one year older than Yuhui. When Meng Wanying brought Yuhui back to her mother's house, the younger sisters played together and were very close.

"Wanying? Didn't she go to the army as a babysitter?" He Jinlian was a little confused.

"Grandma, why is Dad crying?" Lin Lang tilted her head and frowned.

"Father said San...sister, what is Sanmei?"

He Jinlian's head buzzed, and she sat up from the bed, no way!You have to go to the main room to see it!
The door was pushed open, Meng Xianjun led several soldiers, the leader was on crutches and had only one leg.

Meng Wanying and Zhang Lingyu came over to support He Jinlian, and they kept wiping away their tears.

"You guys? Get out! Get out!" He Jinlian suddenly shouted in horror, "I won't listen! I won't listen!"

"Mother!" Meng Xianjun burst into tears, "You still have me, and Qinghong and the others..."

"Mother! Comrade Meng Wanyue is our pride...the country and the people will never forget her!" Several soldiers saluted He Jinlian in unison.

Liu Zhanqi took out the pen, "Ma'am, this is left by Wanyue..."

He Jinlian mechanically took the pen, looked at it for a while, and suddenly threw the pen to the ground with all her strength, "I want my daughter! Give me back my daughter! God, give me back my daughter!"

She sat down on the ground and cried loudly, bumped her head against the leg of the bed, and then rolled all over the floor. Since she was a child, He Jinlian had never looked at Wanyue directly. Wanyue grew quietly like a shadow, and finally she was quietly like a shadow. disappeared into the world.

He Jinlian regretted not hugging her more, spending more time with her, and not even listening to what she had to say. It was not until he lost her that He Jinlian felt the pain in his heart as if a piece of flesh had been dug out.

After crying enough, He Jinlian slowly picked up the broken pen piece by piece, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and carefully wrapped the pieces together.

"Xianjun, when the weather clears, bury your sister in the old forest, next to Wanyun."

He Jinlian's voice was calm as if nothing had happened.

From then on, there was another empty tomb in the old forest of the Meng family, and there was only a handkerchief inside, which wrapped the broken pen.

At the end of the year, He Jinlian also walked away quietly on a winter night, peacefully and peacefully, like a person who has traveled a long way and finally sat down to rest.

Zhang Shumei gave birth to a boy in autumn, and Liu Zhanqi named his son Mingming, which means bright.

Meng Wanying was very busy looking after the two children at once, but her salary was also doubled, which made her very happy, and she was willing to be tired.

After Huzi went to the nursery, Ding Jinhua had to go back to her hometown as usual. When she left, Meng Wanying was waiting for Zhang Shumei to give birth in the hospital. When she got out of the hospital and returned home, Ding Jinhua had already left.

This made Meng Wanying feel melancholy for several days, she still didn't know about Ding Jinhua's framing her secretly, Liu Ziqing said, don't let the honest people have lumps in their hearts, it's good like this.

When Mingming was one year old, the hospital of the military division moved into the city. It is said that the common people could also enjoy the superb medical skills of the army.

Naturally, Meng Wanying was the happiest, so that she could see her daughter often. On weekends, Zhang Shumei asked Meng Wanying to take Yuhui home and play with Pingping.

Pingping has already entered the nursery school, and Yuhui is five years old. Meng Wanying cut the cardboard into palm size, and used a brush to write some simple characters on the cardboard to teach the two children.

Zhang Shumei is often amazed at Meng Wanying's handwriting, which is graceful and meaningful, and her handwriting is like a person.

After all, she came from a famous family, and her family education is first-class. Every time Yuhui came to visit her home, she was very polite.

After moving to the city, the army streamlined its organization. Pingping and Huzi were transferred to the nursery of the county party committee. Zhang Shumei was also promoted to the director of obstetrics and gynecology at the military hospital.

She still lives in Tongzilou, but she just changed to a different place, and she is still neighbors with Liu Ziqing. Liu Ziqing and his wife are also very busy with work, so Meng Wanying took on the task of picking up Huzi.

Anyway, Huzi and Pingping are in the same nursery, a middle class, and a small class. When Meng Wanying picks up Pingping, she picks up Huzi along the way.

This afternoon, Meng Wanying hugged Mingming and waited for a long time at the entrance of the nursery school, but the two children did not come out. After inquiring, it turned out that the two little guys fought with other children and were left behind by the teacher.

Meng Wanying was amused and annoyed, so she hurried in. In the teacher's office, three little guys were standing there for punishment.

"Oh, teacher, I'm sorry, I'm late! I said, why are you fighting with others again!"

Before Meng Wanying could stand still, a man rushed in rushing in, yelling at her children.

Sounding familiar, Meng Wanying turned her head and saw that it was Liang Ziwen who hadn't seen her in more than ten years!
