Ye Zhifan was also a little confused; his face was cold as he spoke: “I don’t know, that’s why we have to follow them and have a look. Also, when you get to the city, you are not allowed to do things as you wish. Do you understand? See how you behaved just now! Fortunately, the officers and soldiers showed mercy!
The Lieutenant-General had at least two former guards around him. Ye Ying just ran out and blocked their way so recklessly, the guards could have drawn their guns!
“Sorry, Dad. I was too anxious, just now.” Ye Ying also knew that she was too reckless just now. At the thought of being warned by Ye Jian softly, her heart was burning to the point that her internal organs hurt, “I will definitely listen to your arrangements in the city.”
Ye Zhifan didn’t say anything more. He nodded slightly, then sped up to catch up with the soldiers.
As soon as the father and daughter left, An Jiaxin was anxious. Ye Ying, that nasty girl, was definitely up to no good! Jian’er would be busy dealing with Grandpa Gen’s funeral. She had no time for Ye Ying!
No good, no good, she must follow, she mustn’t do nothing else, she must keep an eye on Ye Ying!
“Mom, I’m going to the city! You help remit the tuition fees to me!” An Jiaxin squeezed her notice and rushed outside after speaking. She had to go home to take her luggage and then rush to take the 10:20 a.m. shuttle bus to the city!
Dr. Zhou, who had already known her daughter’s relationship with Ye Jian long ago, didn’t even change her white coat. She picked up her wallet and chased after her daughter, “Bring your luggage and go directly from the city to school the day after tomorrow. Remember to bring your train ticket and student ID. And keep your notice carefully!”
An Jiaxin had been an independent child since young. She didn’t ask her parents to send her to her school from Yunnan Province. Now she also didn’t need her parents to send her to university.
After receiving a few hundred cash notes and taking dozens of pocket money, An Jiaxin waved goodbye and left the town hospital without turning her head back.
From Fujun Town to Anyang City, Ye Jian had been in the car with her Old Uncle Gen, who still had his eyes closed. She was accompanied by Xia Jinyuan, Regiment Commander Liu, Political Commissar Yan, and Principal Chen.
Commander-in-chief Xia and the two academy leaders took Xia Jinyuan’s car back to Anyang. They followed closely with the army’s car to Anyang.
The sun was very bright at the end of August, and the temperature remained above 36 degrees. Old Uncle Gen’s body should not be left outside for too long. The funeral home vehicle arranged by the army had already been waiting at the intersection of the inter-provincial highway. There were ten people on each side of the vehicle. The officers and soldiers wearing their uniforms and big-brimmed hats waited, in their solemn military posture, for the arrival of the old squad leader.
Six and a half hours later, as the car slowly drove out, twenty officers and men stood at attention and saluted, welcoming the old squad leader to get off the car.
The coffin covered with the national flag was lifted out little by little and then gently placed on the funeral home vehicle as the officers and soldiers watched. The atmosphere was solemn enough to make people hold their breath, and the pervasive sadness infected everyone with fortitude. Officers and soldiers saluted to express their respect for Old Uncle Gen.
Ye Jian did not cry, but gently stroked the coffin, and gently told the ever-sleeping Old Uncle Gen, “Grandpa, your most beloved army has many officers and soldiers, and they have all come to see you. Are you happy?”
“I’m very happy, very happy. The troops will always remember you and will never forget your contribution to the country and the soldiers. Rest in peace. In the future, I will inherit their dedication and return your contribution wholeheartedly to our country. I will never disappoint your expectations of me, and I will never do anything to embarrass you.”
