Principal Chen of the sniper base had indeed just returned to his dormitory, but he was not idle. A few instructors came over to ask him a few questions. When the phone rang, Principal Chen was talking to a few instructors.
Principal Chen did not even need to look at the caller ID to know who was calling.
He picked up the phone with some surprise and asked with a smile, "Little Ye, you went out today?"
Principal Chen did not have any relatives. Due to his identity, he had cut off all contact with his former comrades. After Liu Tuan retired from the army, he only contacted him during the day. It was the same for Political Commissar Yan. It was late at night, and it was a Friday night call. Principal Chen guessed that it was Ye Chien.
Ye Chien could only contact Principal Chen when he was out. If he did not go out, he would be isolated from the rest of the world.
Ye Chien did not even say goodbye to Principal Chen during the May Day holiday, and Principal Chen understood.
Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Chien's eyebrows lit up. "Uncle Chen, I'll come over on Saturday night. I have a huge surprise for you."
"You're in Nan Province now?" Her light and cheerful voice infected Principal Chen. In the eyes of the instructors at the sniper base, Principal Chen laughed heartily. "Sounds like it's a happy occasion."
"Of course, I already told you that it's a huge surprise. Of course it's a happy occasion. Do you have anything else to do on Saturday night? If not, your time on Saturday night and weekend mornings may be taken up by me. "
"What can I do? What time will I come over on Saturday? Do you need me to send a car to pick you up? " Principal Chen was very happy to see Ye Chien. Even the wrinkles on his face, which had been hardened by the vicissitudes of life, were smiling.
Father Fu watched as Ye Chien was in high spirits talking on the phone with Principal Chen, who had helped her a lot. He was like a father to her, and his eyes were filled with a kind smile the whole time.
His daughter was a child who knew how to be grateful. Such a child was always kind and responsible.
After talking about the time and chatting for a while, Ye Chien hung up the phone. His father would meet Uncle Chen tomorrow. The joy in Ye Chien's heart washed away the sadness of visiting Martyr Sun Xueqing at the Martyr's Park tomorrow.
Father Fu was also happy to see his daughter happy.
On Saturday morning, around 5 am, Ye Chien and Father Fu went to the flower shop that was already open for business. When Ye Chien took out five bouquets of white chrysanthemums, Father Fu said in a low and hoarse voice, "Take some yellow chrysanthemums. Your mother loves yellow chrysanthemums the most. Also, take a bouquet of red roses. Once, your mother asked me when I could give her a bouquet of red roses that westerners love.
Ye Chien's heart trembled when he heard this. It was not over yet, but Papa was already heartbroken.
They bought four bouquets of white chrysanthemums. Two bouquets were placed in front of the memorial and two bouquets were placed in front of Uncle Gen's grave. Then, they bought a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums and a bouquet of red roses. Ye Chien also bought a bouquet of carnations. These were flowers that she wanted to give to her mother.
With seven bouquets of flowers, the father and daughter, who were both wearing military uniforms, headed to the Martyr's Cemetery.
At around 6 am, the father and daughter each placed a bouquet of white chrysanthemums in front of the Martyr's Cemetery's monument. The monument was engraved with the words "Eternal Glory to the Martyrs of the Revolution". After placing the two bouquets of white chrysanthemums, the father and daughter raised their hands at the same time and saluted towards the monument.
The people who were buried here were all martyrs who had sacrificed for the country. The father and daughter saluted in their military uniforms to show their respect for the martyrs.
"Let's go." Father Fu put down his arms and walked around the monument with the bouquets of white chrysanthemums and Ye Chien in his hands.
