Chapter 499 (Final Chapter): We, the Generations, Inherit Our Will
Reading Settings
Wei Qianhong nodded with a smile: "Just follow your grandfather's arrangements. You are not only scions of a prominent family now, but also soldiers of the country, so it is only natural for you to wear military uniforms to your wedding."
Liu Yilin took the teacup from his grandson, gently stroked his cheek, and said in a loving and gentle tone: "Tomorrow is the wedding. In the afternoon, you will go to the cemetery with Kaixuan to talk to your mother and mother and make them happy."
Fang Meng turned her head and gently rubbed it against her grandmother's palm, her eyes smiling: "I know, Grandma. Dad just called, we're getting ready to set off to meet him, and my two older brothers will come along too."
Liu Yilin nodded with a smile. Her little grandson had always been a spoiled child, and no matter how mischievous he was outside, he was always well-behaved and considerate in front of her, which made her inevitably show him more favoritism. Fortunately, his older siblings were all sensible and doted on their younger brother even more.
"Go ahead, be careful on the road. Don't worry about the wedding banquet, Xiao Guang, Ya Zhi, and Xiao Yun are helping to arrange it."
"Yes, Grandma!"
Fang Meng and Bai Nuo went upstairs to change into brand-new military uniforms, and then drove to the Martyrs' Cemetery in the eastern suburbs.
The cemetery is serene, clean, and solemn. Those who rest here are heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country. It is maintained and cleaned by dedicated staff. Even if some tombs are no longer visited by descendants, the tombstones are not left to be covered in dust.
Five figures in crisp military uniforms stood in front of the middle of the row of tombstones in the third section.
Before them stood two tombstones side by side. The sky, which had been bright and sunny an hour earlier, had now turned low and gray, and the entire cemetery was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.
"Mom, Aunt An, we've come to see you." Bai Nuo gently squatted between the two tombstones, her eyes smiling, but her eyes were slightly red.
"Mom, Aunt Man, Niu Niu and I got married! We got our marriage certificate yesterday, and the wedding is tomorrow. Isn't your youngest son amazing? He finally won over our precious daughter!" Fang Meng knelt down on one knee to the side, smiling at his two mothers, gently placing one hand on Bai Nuo's head, his smile as bright as the sun.
If only we could ignore those reddened eyes...
"You two can rest assured, your youngest son will take good care of our precious daughter, pamper her, protect her, and never let her suffer the slightest grievance."
"By the way, you all don't know, your youngest son is very obedient and well-behaved. It's just that his allowance is a bit small. It used to be two yuan a month, but now it's much better, only twenty yuan a month. Although prices have gone up a bit, it's enough for me. Even so, I still get two or three times more allowance than my married comrades. Anyway, our precious son is very good at making money, and we don't lack anything at home."
A family of five, three standing side by side at the back, and two squatting in front.
The four of them listened as another person rambled on to his mother, complaining about his father and brothers' "misdeeds," saying he would listen to his wife, and expressing his hopes and promises for the future.
Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet again.
The five women stood before the cold tombstone, their words of unspoken longing and unfulfilled emotions having filled them on their journey. Yet now, they felt as if nothing needed to be said. It was as if simply standing there, they understood the full depth of their hearts.
A cold wind blew by, and the little girl squatting in front suddenly smiled softly, raising her hand to stroke her mother's name on the tombstone.
"Mom, Aunt An, our country will get better and better, and this prosperous era will eventually be as you wish. One day, our country will be so strong that no one will dare to bully or offend us."
"We will do our utmost to protect this land and will never let Mom, Aunt An, and the countless uncles and aunts who sacrificed their lives go to waste."
"Mom, Aunt An, please rest assured. We will carry on your legacy, using our bodies as shields to protect our land; using our hearts as blades to guard our nation's eternal peace. Not an inch of our vast territory will be moved!"
"Mom, Aunt Man, please rest assured. We will carry on your legacy, using our bodies as shields to protect our land; using our hearts as blades to guard our nation's eternal peace. Not an inch of our vast territory will be moved!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two men stood up nimbly, their military posture as straight as pines, their eyes blazing. They raised their arms in the most standard military salute.
At that moment, no more words were needed; all the promises and legacy were embodied in that silent gesture.
A gentle breeze caressed the two children's eyebrows and cheeks, like a mother's hand gently stroking her child.
A series of hurried footsteps came from behind, breaking the silence of the garden.
"Blood vine, golden dragon."
Holding an order document, Leng Rong strode up to Bai Nuo and Fang Meng, his face solemn and stern.
Jin Zicheng, Hong Chuangen, and Tao Jianhua followed not far behind.
They had originally planned to go to the Wei family manor together to help, but as soon as they stepped out of the military region gate, they received orders from their superiors to go into battle.
A cold and powerful voice rang out in the cemetery.
"Regimentalist Fang, multiple armed conflicts have occurred along our border with Vietnam, and Vietnam has repeatedly attempted to seize our islands. We have just received orders from our unit: Regimentalist Fang Meng and Deputy Regimentalist Bai Nuo are to lead the entire 917 team to the border immediately to provide support and defend our territorial integrity at all costs."
"yes!"
Bai Nuo and Fang Meng responded almost simultaneously upon hearing the order, then took the documents handed to them by Leng Rong and gripped them tightly before turning to look at their father and two elder brothers.
"Go ahead, as soldiers, you must obey orders. Dad will be waiting for your triumphant return from the rear!" Zhu Kaixuan looked at his two children, his eyes filled with reluctance and worry, but without any intention of stopping them—because they were soldiers.
Bai Yukai and Fang Zhou exchanged a smile, then looked at their younger brother and sister.
"Don't worry, the wedding will be simple, but it won't be canceled or postponed. You'll be officially husband and wife after tomorrow, so it won't delay your plans, you little rascal." Fang Zhou smiled and ruffled his younger brother's hair. The younger brother he had raised had finally grown up and started his own family.
