Chapter 2019

"There are too many things I can't bear to leave you, but life is like this. When it's time, no one can avoid it. The only thing I regret is that I didn't wait for Ling Tian to come back, and I didn't spend more time with Kang Kang and my sister, and I didn't grow up with them, so I had to rely on them for the future.

Yuxin, I am very grateful to you, not only for me, but also for your selfless devotion to me just like a daughter to her father.

I have no family in my life, and you and Lingtian have given me a home and Kangkang. I never thought that I could get the warmth of my family before. Thank you for all this.

At the same time, I would like to express my thanks for Ling Tian and the country. Over the years, you have paid more than any other woman. It's not something an ordinary woman can do. Ling Tian's most correct decision in his life is to marry you. But you are too hard, too much is not easy, I hope the rest of your life you can safely spend, do not have any harm. I hope Lingtian can come back safely, and compensate you for all the debts owed to you, so that your family can have a good reunion.

It's just... If, I mean if, maybe it's too cruel to say, but if Ling naive can't come back, I hope you can take care of yourself. After all, you are still young, Kangkang and Shiyi, they need you.

In this life, I have gained a lot of honors, military exploits, medals, and countless scars, but at the same time, I have lost too many, too many people who used to fight side by side, and many people I have trained. They are all so excellent and young. They have not enjoyed a really happy life, so they have set foot on the road of no return. I should have died on the battlefield like them, defending my country and protecting my family. But in the end, I became the one who survived. I was ashamed of this all my life.

What I have always taught Ling Tian is that an excellent soldier should die on the battlefield, but he insists that an excellent soldier should let the enemy die on the battlefield. In fact, I know he is right. Similarly, an excellent commander should take his own army and kill the enemy on the battlefield. At this point, I'm not a good commander. After my death, please don't bury me in Babaoshan, just let me leave as an ordinary person. Help me find an ordinary cemetery in Donghai, preferably next to Dongsheng, so that our old friends can be friends with each other. It's closer to you. If Lingtian can come back, it's convenient to see me.

Yuxin, finally, please do a simple deal with my affairs. I don't have much property under my name. I'll dispose of the flower garden. All my money will be donated to Lingtian veterans foundation. This is the last thing I can do for him. As for Kangkang and Shiyi, I have nothing to give them. It's really useless to leave them too much wealth, which will only make them lose their enterprising spirit. There's only one watch that I've worn for many years. It's not worth a lot of money. Let's leave it to Kangkang as a memento. Let it accompany Kangkang instead of me and watch him grow up safely, healthily and happily. "

This is for Li Yuxin. There is another one at the bottom for ye Lingtian.

"Ling Tian, my child, I know that you and I are the same in heart. You treat me as a father, so let me be a father. If you can see this letter, I'm sorry I didn't wait for you to come back. But I left without pain. Yuxin took good care of me. She did her duty as a daughter.

If you come back safely, please come to see me and tell me that you are safe. This is the last concern of my life. Please treat Yuxin well for the rest of your life. She suffered too much for you and the family. I hope that after you come back, you will not repeat the previous path. Once I did not understand that you left the army, but now I know that your choice is correct. You have made enough contributions to the country in the first half of your life, and it's time to leave the time for yourself and your family.

Ling Tian, you are the best soldier I brought out. You are my pride and the pride of our country. I am proud of you. You are not only a soldier brought out by me, but also my children. I watched you grow up step by step, including your hard training in the army, and the spirit of fearing hardship and sacrifice in every task. Even if you leave the army, when the country needs you, you still do whatever you can to complete the impossible task even if it sounds impossible.

You have done very well in Sanhuang island. In fact, you have done very well in every task. You can say to your country, troops and brothers that you are worthy of your heart, but have you ever thought about what you do to Yuxin and your family? Kangkang and Shiyi are so small, how can you have the heart to leave them? Yuxin has paid so much for you. Why don't you think about how hard she has to live alone and how much pain and pressure she has to bear after you leave? Why don't you think, you live well, can create more value, can attack more enemies?

Ling Tian, I always think you are very smart, but this time, you made the most stupid decision! I tell you, if I can wait for you to come back, I'll have to whip you to death. Lucky for you, you haven't come back yet.

Forget it, I don't scold you any more. It's useless to scold you. If I scold you, what should I do. I just hope that no matter where you are in the world, you will be safe, and you can think of your family waiting for you to come back in the distance, and you must come back safely for them.

I wish we could sit together again and have a good drink. You smelly boy, when you come back, remember to find Lao Yu. He has a special wine. Remember to bring a box when you come to see me. You've been drinking a lot from me these years. When you come back, we have to figure out the account.

I won't tell you any more nonsense. I'm tired too. That's it. "

Many of the handwriting on the letter is vague, even with damp, clearly can see that it was wet by tears. On the last page, there is only a short line: "Kangkang, grandpa loves you." The handwriting is askew. It's not as strong as it was at the beginning. It's obvious that No. 1 is writing that he's crying. He can't write any more when he writes here.

Li Yuxin holds the letter paper, and the scenes of the past emerge in front of her. They are No.1 holding Ye Kang up to the ceiling quickly, and he is riding for ye Kang. Ye Kang is ill. He is more anxious than their parents and tells stories to Ye Kang every day... Li Yuxin can't believe that the old man just left their family.
