The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Along with this cry, Tan's family members swarmed into the ward.

Lying on the hospital bed was a haggard, dying old man. He was a big man when he was young, but now he is skinny and skinny, with sunken eye sockets and his breath is dying.

He stretched out his hands like dry branches with great effort and covered the head of Tan Mingqiu who was lying on the hospital bed crying bitterly. His mouth opened and closed. No one knew what he was talking about?

The nurse who had taken care of him all year round lay next to his ear and listened carefully.

"The chief said that the Tan family are all stubborn, and he doesn't blame you." After the nurse said this, Tan Mingqiu cried even harder.

"The chief said that he knew all the things you did in Shengtian. You did a good job and did not disgrace the Tan family."

"The chief said that among the grandsons of the Tan family, you are the most like him. He asked you to work hard in the army."

Tan Mingqiu nodded hard, "Grandpa, I can."

The old man said something more, still relayed by the nurse, "The chief said he wanted to meet the fourth generation of the Tan family."

Tan Mingqiu hurriedly picked up Tan Hu and approached the old man, "Grandpa, look, this is my son, your great-grandson Tan Hu. He will be four years old soon."

The old man reluctantly raised his eyelids, glanced at Tan Hu, who had a tiger-like head, blinked with relief, and closed his eyes again.

Tan Hu was very scared. He wanted to get out of the ward. The great-grandfather he had never seen lying on the hospital bed was too scary, but his father held him tightly and he couldn't break away at all.

Finally, the child couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere and burst into tears.

Tan Mingchun hurriedly took Tan Hu from Tan Mingqiu's hand, "Hey, be good, don't cry. Auntie will take you out."

Tan Mingchun carried Tan Hu out of the ward. Lin Zhiyuan greeted him and stretched out his hand, "Give me the tiger cub. You go back and listen to the old man's last words."

Probably because he got acquainted with Lin Zhiyuan on the plane, Tan Hu opened his little hands and said, "I want my father-in-law to hold me, not my aunt."

Tan Mingchun hurriedly handed Tan Hu to Lin Zhiyuan, turned around and returned to the ward.

The old man was obviously tired after talking so much. He rested for a while and then spoke again, still being relayed by the nurse.

"You don't need to be sad. I have died many times. I have earned my living today. Compared with my old brothers and comrades, I have lived too long."

"The boss, second, and third are all doing very well, and I'm satisfied."

"After I die, the funeral will be simple and don't cause any trouble to the organization."

"Tan family descendants should not do evil, and do not forget your origins..."

Before he finished the last sentence, the old man's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't breathe. His eyes suddenly opened wide, and he turned sideways hard, trying to see everyone in the ward clearly. .

When his eyes were fixed on the youngest Tan Mingyan, the light in his eyes disappeared.

There was a lot of crying in the ward.

"dad!"

"grandfather!"

Tan Hu, who heard crying outside the ward, hugged Lin Zhiyuan's neck tightly and asked in a low voice: "My father-in-law, is my great-grandfather dead?"

Lin Zhiyuan hesitated, "Yes, he passed away."

"Grandma said that when people die, they go to another world. Is it true?"

"Maybe, I don't know." Lin Zhiyuan hugged Tan Hu and walked a few steps outside, trying to stay as far away from the ward as possible.

Tan Hu was too young and he didn't want this scene to scare the child.

In the ward, doctors, nurses and several staff members were trying to persuade Tan's family.

"Secretary Tan, be sure to show your condolences and take care of yourself. Everyone is very sad that the old man is gone, but what we have to consider now is to take care of the old man's funeral affairs."

Several nurses came forward and wanted to wipe the old man's body and change his clothes, but Tan Guangwen stopped him.

"Thank you, our own family will do these things." Tan Guangwen turned around and shouted, "Women, go out, second child, third child, Mingqiu, Mingdong, come here."

The three daughters-in-law of the Tan family, as well as Tan Mingchun, Tan Mingyan, and Fan Tian were all kicked out of the ward, and only the man remained in it.

The next scene opened Lin Zhiyuan's eyes.

Several soldiers who looked like they were well-trained armed policemen carried a stretcher into the ward. In a short time, the old man, who had changed into a military uniform without a military rank, was carried out with the party flag draped over him. The men of the Tan family followed closely behind.

Several staff members in Chinese tunic suits surrounded the three Tan brothers, "Secretary Tan, Babaoshan has been notified and the funeral hall is being prepared."

"All the troops and units where the leader worked before his death have called him, and they said they will rush to Babaoshan soon."

"The phone calls to several elders have also been completed. The elders in Beijing said they would personally attend the memorial service of the chief, and those outside also said they would send someone to attend."

"Jun Wei, the General Office of the Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council, also called just now..."

The group of people hurried downstairs quickly.

Tan Hu saw Tan Mingqiu and Fan Tian in the crowd. He stretched out his little hand and called his parents hard.

But now Tan Mingqiu had no time to take care of his son. He glanced at Lin Zhiyuan from a distance and said, "Zhiyuan, Fan Tian and I will be very busy today. It is not suitable for children to go to a place like Babaoshan. Please help me." Take Huzi home and I’ll call you tonight.”

"That's fine!" Lin Zhiyuan knew that when the old man of the Tan family passed away, a large number of senior leaders would come to express their condolences. As the eldest grandson of the Tan family, Tan Mingqiu will definitely not be able to leave.

Tan Hu has never met anyone else in the Tan family. He doesn't follow anyone except himself. Now he can only take the child back to his home.

Lin Zhiyuan slowly carried the crying Tan Hu downstairs, coaxing him as he walked, "Huzi, don't cry, I know you are the bravest. We men are not allowed to shed tears."

"My father-in-law, why are my parents ignoring me? Do they not want me anymore?"

"No, mom and dad will be very busy today, let's not disturb them, okay? Can you come home with me and let Sister Asu play with you? I have a lot of toys at home, and a lot of delicious food."

After coaxing and lying, Tan Hu finally held back his tears.

Lin Zhiyuan carried him out of the hospital, took a taxi and went directly to Houhai.

In the car, Lin Zhiyuan called Su Jin and asked her to pick Asu back from kindergarten.

When Su Jin heard that Lin Zhiyuan had suddenly come to Yanjing without a trace, she was surprised. After Lin Zhiyuan explained, she understood the whole story and immediately agreed, "Okay, I will ask Sister Shen to pick up Asu now. Then we took the two children shopping and bought two sets of clothes for Huzi, as well as some delicious food and toys. With these, the children will stop crying. "

Su Jin still had a way of raising children. When Lin Zhiyuan returned to Houhai's home, Asu had already picked him up from the kindergarten.

Su Jin, Yang Zhilan, Shen Juan, three women went shopping with their two children.

Lin Zhiyuan called Xiang Yang from the Lesteel Office in Beijing and asked him to find a way to purchase a pair of wreaths and elegiac couplets.

Later, Lin Zhiyuan told Su Qiancheng the news of the death of the old man of the Tan family. Su Qiancheng sat blankly for a long time and sighed lonely, "The old political commissar has also left. There are not many people of our generation left."

With that said, Su Qiancheng got up and was going to Babao Mountain to see the old political commissar off for the last time.

Lin Zhiyuan hurriedly persuaded him, "Grandpa, the old man of the Tan family has just left. There must be a lot of things to do over there now. Why not tomorrow? I will go with you to express my condolences."

Su Qiancheng closed his eyes and nodded. Then he sat there motionless.

August in Yanjing is very hot. The morning sunlight shines into the room and hits Su Qiancheng's body, forming a mottled light and shadow.

In this light and shadow, Lin Zhiyuan saw the helpless sadness of an old man.
