"Cut, I don't even have any sincerity when I call my name and surname!" Li Siqing expressed contempt for Lu Ruorong. "Are you numb, okay? You should say this: Hanhan, I am so touched, and I am willing to do for you and the world. Enemy. Okay, okay, don’t look at me like this, next time you date, I won’t appear in front of you anymore."
Lu Ruorong and Chen Zihan smiled at each other, and did not tease Li Siqing again.
After a while, Li Siqing suddenly thought of something, and raised her head to ask Chen Zihan: "Xuedi Chen, what are your arrangements for this winter vacation?"
"Of course I am going home to accompany my parents. I am a filial son." Chen Zihan looked at Lu Ruorong with a smile, "Why, do you have other arrangements?"
"I made an appointment with Rong Er. During the winter vacation, I will go to Jinling for a few days, and then go around Gusu, Guangling, and Runzhou. When the New Year is about to go, I will go home separately." Li Siqing said quickly, "Cong Qian Tang hasn’t been too far in the past. It’s enough to spend a day or two in Gusu, Guangling, and Runzhou. After a lap, you can almost go home for the New Year. Will you come with us?"
Chen Zihan hesitated after hearing this, and finally said embarrassedly: "I am going to Jinling in December!"
"Go to Jinling in December?" Li Siqing was surprised. After taking a look at Lu Ruorong, he immediately asked, "Who have you made an appointment to go to Jinling?"
Lu Ruorong didn't ask anything, just looked at them calmly.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Zihan said truthfully: "In these years, every December, I will accompany my parents to Jinling."
"Why?" Li Siqing was surprised, "Who should I visit?"
Lu Ruorong seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to hang on to the victims?"
Chen Zihan glanced at Lu Ruorong in surprise, then nodded slightly, "Every December, our family will go to Jinling to pay homage. Because I have relatives who died in that war!"
Li Siqing and Lu Ruorong were startled.
Surprised Li Siqing immediately asked: "Who is yours?"
Chen Zihan hesitated again, and finally gave a brief overview of the situation.
Chen Zihan's mother, Huang Xiaojuan's grandfather, served as a soldier in the Chinese army in the 1930s.
He was a captain officer who belonged to the most elite Central Teaching Corps at the time.
In December 1937, when the Japanese Army attacked Jinling, the Central Teaching Corps guarded Yuhuatai.
When the Japanese army attacked Yuhuatai, he was unfortunately killed by shelling.
The battle was too tragic, and tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers were sacrificed under the Japanese army's artillery fire and butcher knife.
Most of those who died on the battlefield had no chance to be buried.
The same goes for Huang Xiaojuan's grandfather.
Huang Xiaojuan's grandmother gave birth to two daughters for her husband.
When the war started, her ancestral husband asked her to take her two daughters back home first.
In the end, grandma returned to her hometown with her two daughters and never left here.
It was not until three years later that she knew that her husband had died heroically in the defense of Jinling.
After knowing the news of her husband's death, she was deeply saddened.
She did not remarry, but kept her two daughters up in anonymity in her hometown.
Not many people know that her husband participated in the Jinling Defense War and was martyred in the war. He did not encounter any trouble in the special age.
At the end of the 1970s, Huang Xiaojuan's grandmother passed away due to illness.
After she died, she was buried on a hill at the back of the village, facing north.
Before she died, she repeatedly asked her offspring to bury them together if there was a chance to find the ashes or remains of her husband.
The two daughters kept their mother's will in mind and were looking for the remains of their father.
They have been running around for many years, but they have been to no avail.
They only saw their father's name in the list of the dead. As for where he was buried, no one knows.
Huang Xiaojuan's mother is the second daughter, and her sister died of illness in 1997.
Looking for the ashes or remains of her grandfather, it fell on Chen Zihan's grandmother, Huang Xiaojuan's mother, and several offspring of her eldest sister.
But with the passage of time, the chance of finding the ashes or remains of my grandfather became less and less.
Unable to find the remains of grandfather, they went to Jinling to pay homage.
In the past few years, every year around December 12th, their family would go to Jinling to pay homage.
Before Chen Zihan was reborn, He Yingrong, Huang Xiaojuan and others still went to Jinling Yuhuatai to pay homage every year.
Huang Xiaojuan's mother passed away in 2015. Before she passed away, she still remembered her mother's request before her death.
She felt guilty for not fulfilling her mother's last wish.
She asked Huang Xiaojuan and other relatives to go to Jinling for them to pay homage to her father every year, and say sorry to the father under Jiuquan on behalf of their two disdainful daughters.
It is 2001, and Huang Xiaojuan's mother, Chen Zihan's grandmother is still alive. They must go to Jinling to pay homage to Huang Xiaojuan's grandfather.
"I will definitely go with them!"
After listening to Chen Zihan talking about this in a low tone, Lu Ruorong and Li Siqing were shocked.
Li Siqing wiped her eyes with her hand, Lu Ruorong turned her back and wiped her eyes with a tissue before turning back.
"It turns out that your ancestors participated in the defense of Jinling and died in that war!" Li Siqing wiped his eyes and said to Chen Zihan very seriously: "You descendants still remember those who died in the war. My ancestors, go to the memorial ceremony every year, which is so touching."
"I heard that during the Jinling Defense War, the teaching corps inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army, but unfortunately the whole army was destroyed." Lu Ruorong bit his lip and looked at Chen Zihan, and said seriously: "Your grandma was in the Patriotic War. You should be proud of him."
"We now dare to be proud of our ancestors, but we dare not before!" Chen Zihan tried to squeeze a smile, and said embarrassedly: "Let's not talk about this topic, okay?"
"You really should accompany your parents to Jinling to pay homage." Li Siqing looked at Lu Ruorong and suggested in a low voice: "Or, shall we go around at that time?"
Lu Ruorong suddenly became a little tangled, and finally she said vaguely: "Let's watch it then, anyway, there are still nearly fifty days."
She never thought of seeing Chen Zihan's parents now.
Chen Zihan understood the reason for Lu Ruorong's entanglement, and immediately followed her meaning and said: "The time is indeed early, so let's see when the time comes. It is also a good idea for you to go to Jinling during the winter vacation. If it snows, it would be better. Qian Tang is very good In embarrassing places, it does not necessarily snow every year, and sometimes even if it snows, it does not snow much."
"If you want to see the snow, it would be nice to go to Yanjing, or Northeast." Lu Ruorong smiled.
Li Siqing is also a smart person, and never touches that heavy topic again.
When sending Li Siqing and Lu Ruorong back to school, Chen Zihan also gave them a clear answer: "If you want to go out during the winter vacation, then I will try my best to spend time with you and be your photographer throughout the whole process. Is that okay?"
Li Siqing smiled and said: "You have to bring a boy, otherwise I will always be your light bulb, which is too embarrassing."
"No problem!" (End of this chapter)
