The knife on the neck was suddenly removed, and the murder was solved.For Zhen'er, luck came so unexpectedly, but she didn't even bother to congratulate herself, because Zhen'er's focus was firmly locked on the words "revolutionary martyr".

The most worrying thing still happened. Zhen'er's heart ached so badly, as if she had also been attacked by artillery fire, she almost tremblingly asked: "My comrades, he, who among them, who became a martyr?"

The middle-aged cadre frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say, this is a confidential matter, you should not ask, and you have no authority to ask.

But Zhen'er has been waiting for many years, and has been mentally tortured these days. His nerves can't hold it anymore, and he cried out in the office with a "wow", heartbreaking and unpretentious, and said: "I , I have waited for so many years, I am not afraid of beheading, just because of them, why are they gone, please tell me, who sacrificed/sacrificed, we are all comrades who have experienced countless lives and deaths together!"

"Comrade, do you know? In the magic cave, there is really only such a support, otherwise you can't live."

This intense and sincere emotion made the middle-aged cadre seem to be infected, and there was some pity in his voice. After a while, he sighed and said: "Okay, Comrade Cheng Zhener, don't be so sad. Then The comrade who wrote the report has a serious heart and lung disease, and every day of her life is a day of pain. It was hard for her to persevere." After a pause, she became serious again, and said: "I have violated discipline by saying this. , don’t ask me anything else, and I won’t tell you if you ask.”

Zhen'er was stunned, and forgot the others for a while, knowing that this person was talking about Meng Ying.

He was obviously the comrade with the most complicated emotions, but he saved her at the most dangerous time.And that young little sister has become a martyr, turned into dust, and all the grievances have been turned into floating dust.It left her with nothing to look forward to, and nowhere to say "thank you".

Thinking of this, she shed tears again, but it was silent, just tears fell to the ground, for the hard-working little sister, for her youthful years of fighting without regrets and for the other comrades-in-arms who will never see each other again, and even more for the unspeakable love deep in her heart. guilt.

As for what the guilt is, I'm afraid Zhen'er himself can't explain clearly.

However, Cheng Zhen'er became more and more reticent, and only occasionally saw her colleagues' children playing in the compound after school, would she be distracted for a while.She thought that she was really getting old.

After all, it's 30 years old.

A few years later, the eldest sister who specializes in women's work found another afternoon to talk to her. It was winter, there was heavy snow outside the window, and the sky and the earth were crystal clear, as if it was still in the northeast.Zhener has no time to miss her poor but happy same year, because the elder sister was just chatting, so she started a matchmaker for her again. This time, the introduction was a widower with a child, a job-changing cadre, and a regional department store. manager.The eldest sister said apologetically: "Sister, really, the eldest sister is incapable. I know you have never been married, so I have wronged you too much. But the unmarried ones I found were all disabled veterans. I investigated, and this person Although he was married, he has good principles and integrity, and his comrades have good comments on him. The comrade in front of him is also our own comrade, a health worker. Unfortunately, he met a disabled soldier in 48. He is also waiting. I only want to look for it after the child is in school. Just based on this, it can be seen that he has a heart."

The eldest sister originally thought that Cheng Zhen'er would politely refuse or consider it, but she did not expect that this time she agreed very readily, and just said lightly: "It doesn't matter, what's wrong with being married? I'm over 30, and I thought I was a little girl." Is it? It might be good for everyone.”

Her youth and passion have long been exhausted, and she dare not extravagantly ask for love, she is not worthy.But it seems that I also lack the mental strength to live alone in this vast world. It is really good to have some sustenance, even if it is a temporary construction.

At least Cheng Zhener thought so.

So, that's it.Her husband misses the war years very much, and occasionally reminisces with the bride about the loess high slopes in northern Shaanxi and the simple villagers, and also wants to hear her history, but all he gets is silence.

Zhen'er really doesn't know what to say, what is kept secret is kept secret, not to mention that it is also her deepest wound, and it has finally scabbed, how do you want to be uncovered again?

But her husband couldn't understand. He felt that his wife didn't value him and was very angry. After a few quarrels, they couldn't quarrel.Because Zhen'er can just sit on the sofa knitting a sweater for the child and listen to him get angry without saying a word back.At that time, everyone lived in Tongzilou, and he was so loud that the superiors came to try to persuade them to think that he was bullying Xiaocheng, and they kept talking about him.

He couldn't express his suffering, so he had to let it go, and he was married, so let's make do with it, how can he leave?This was what most people of that generation thought.

Zhen'er didn't think there was anything wrong with making do with it like this. The memories were getting farther and farther away, and her life was getting more and more peaceful. The only regret was that she couldn't have children.But it was a blessing in disguise, and her stepson had a very good relationship with her. After her husband passed away in the 80s, she went to his stepson's house for a while to take care of the children.

Later, everyone's life got better and better, so she went back to Lunan, where she had worked for half her life, read books, planted flowers, and the days went by so smoothly, the flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year.

She didn't know how she was able to survive so well, and she actually outlived her stepson and daughter-in-law, into the new century.The little granddaughter of their family is engaged in artistic creation. Because she was raised by her, the grandparents and grandchildren love each other deeply. After deciphering many things, I heard about the nature of my grandmother's early work. I also brought her a few TV discs to watch, which is a pleasure for the elderly. .

She thought it was boring anyway, so she played it on the TV at home—she is a veteran cadre, and the salary is good.Unexpectedly, there is a "Conspiracy" among these films.

She adjusted the player with her aging hands and watched it all day and night. The unfamiliar actors seemed to bring her back to the familiar years. Suddenly, her eyes that had been dry for decades became moist, making her cry again. sat on the ground.

The next day, the neighbors discovered that Cheng Zhener, a retired cadre, had passed away. After checking the relevant files, he was 85 years old.
