Chapter 353 Liu Junhui wants to erect a statue for Xiang Guodong, Li Yonggang is embarrassed
For a moment, melodious singing filled the entire room. The beautiful melody made everyone present immersed in this warm and touching atmosphere.
It’s just that some are sweet and some are bitter.
....................................
That night, Liu Junhui entered the room where he and Junlan lived and checked Junlan's homework as usual.
I saw Junlan staring at a children's picture book in a daze.
Liu Junhui took a closer look and saw a group sculpture of heroes in the album. The hero in the middle looked a bit like Jun Lan's biological father, Xiang Guodong.
Liu Junhui understood something and sat on the edge of the bed next to her daughter and asked, "Junlan, do you miss your daddy?"
"Um……"
Xiang Junlan missed her father and no longer shed tears like she used to, but was filled with infinite longing.
Xiang Junlan slowly stretched out her slender fingers and gently stroked the lifelike heroic group sculpture in the album.
Her eyes were affectionate and focused, as if through this sculpture she could touch the majestic figure of her father deep in her memory.
Liu Junhui saw clearly that Junlan's eyes revealed endless deep longing.
Xiang Junlan looked at the sculpture in the album for a while, then raised her head slightly, her gaze passing through the bright window to the distant night sky.
In a trance, she seemed to see her father's familiar figure gradually emerging clearly from the hazy distance.
She murmured to herself, "Dad, you must be silently watching over me and protecting me in the night sky, right?"
Jun Lan's words, like the strings of a musical instrument, vibrated Liu Junhui's heart.
Liu Junhui gazed at her adopted daughter quietly, and her heart was involuntarily filled with a strong longing for her benefactor Xiang Guodong.
Xiang Junlan suddenly turned around, looked at her mother, and said, "Mom, is my dad's sculpture finished?"
Liu Junhui was stunned.
She suddenly remembered that when she and Junlan merged, they lived in the guesthouse of the 698 Hospital.
One afternoon, I took Junlan to play in the yard of the 698 Hospital. There was a group sculpture of heroes in the yard, and one of the heroes looked a bit like Xiang Guodong.
Xiang Junlan stared at the figure for a long time, tears in her eyes.
At that time, Liu Junhui promised Xiang Junlan that after the statue of Xiang Guodong was completed, she would take Junlan to the sculpture to pay tribute to her father.
When I was busy, I forgot about it.
It has been almost two years since Xiang Guodong's sacrifice, but his statue has not been completed.
At this moment, Jun Lan's words triggered strong fluctuations in Liu Junhui's heart.
Liu Junhui clenched her fists tightly and swore in her heart: "No matter how many difficulties I encounter, I must fulfill the promise I made to Jun Lan!"
After careful consideration, Liu Junhui resolutely decided to pay out of his own pocket to create a magnificent sculpture for Xiang Guodong in the courtyard of the Marine Division.
She knew very well that this was not an easy task and would not only cost her a lot of money but also require a lot of energy.
Moreover, it must be approved by the leadership.
But she firmly believes that this matter has extraordinary significance.
She hopes that this sculpture will help more people understand and remember Xiang Guodong, the great hero.
We must let Xiang Guodong's spirit inspire future generations to forge ahead courageously and strive for the well-being of the country and the people.
Liu Junhui is no longer a simple girl. She knows that she must discuss this matter with Yonggang first and ask Yonggang to report to his superiors and approve the construction of Xiang Guodong's sculpture in the Marine Division compound.
The next day, Liu Junhui went to the group first to finish the matters at hand.
Then, she drove to the office building of the 1st Battalion of the Marine Division, parked the car, and went upstairs to find Yonggang.
The door of Li Yonggang's office was ajar. Liu Junhui pushed it open gently, but there was no one inside.
At this time, the driver Xiao Zhao came over and said, "Sister-in-law, the captain is in the meeting room!"
Liu Junhui casually asked, "When will the meeting end?"
Xiao Zhao said, "I don't know, but I think the meeting is almost over. It's been going on for over an hour."
"Then I'll wait for him in his office. Xiao Zhao, go get busy!"
"Okay, sister-in-law!"
Xiao Zhao left, and Liu Junhui turned and entered Yonggang's office.
I first sat on Yonggang’s office chair to experience it, and felt that the office conditions here were far inferior to those of my own group.
Just a few years after the reform and opening up, the army was still living a tight life.
Then, Liu Junhui entered the inner room of Yonggang’s office to experience his bedroom.
Liu Junhui gently pushed open the bedroom door, and the scene that came into her eyes made her slightly stunned.
As the team leader, Yonggang's bedroom is extremely simple and plain, without any unnecessary decorations or embellishments.
As far as the eye could see, there was only a wooden bed placed against the wall, and the bed looked very hard.
Next to the bed was a very old bedside table piled with various military books.
The papers have turned slightly yellow, but are neatly arranged.
Next to it stood an ordinary wooden wardrobe with the door closed.
There is a huge military map hanging on the wall, with circles and dots on it, which seems to carry Yonggang's strategic thinking and military wisdom.
There are densely packed marks and lines in red, blue and black on the map, like a vivid war painting. I wonder what Yonggang is thinking.
Liu Junhui slowly shifted her gaze to the bed and saw that Li Yonggang's bedding was meticulously arranged.
The quilt was folded neatly, with sharp edges and corners, just like a piece of freshly cut tofu, without a single wrinkle.
Such rigorous housekeeping reveals Yonggang's strict requirements on the details of his life and his self-discipline.
Looking at all this, Liu Junhui couldn't help but think of the bedrooms in her home that she had recently decorated to be extremely luxurious.
A soft and comfortable Simmons bed, an exquisite dressing table, a wardrobe filled with gorgeous clothes...
In comparison, everything here in Yonggang seems so simple and shabby.
At this moment, an indescribable emotion surged in her heart, including admiration for Yonggang's tenacity and shame for not doing anything for Yonggang's troops.
The outer door rang, and then came Yonggang's voice: "Junhui, I'm back!"
Maybe Xiao Zhao told Li Yonggang, so Li Yonggang knew that Junhui was waiting for him in his office.
"Oh!"
Liu Junhui agreed and immediately left the bedroom.
While making tea for Junhui, Li Yonggang asked, "Junhui, why did you come to see me so suddenly? What's the matter?"
Liu Junhui took the teacup, sat on the sofa opposite the desk, and said, "You sit down too, I'll tell you slowly."
Li Yonggang held his teacup and sat next to Junhui, looking at Junhui with anticipation.
Liu Junhui knew Yonggang was very busy, so she got straight to the point: "Yonggang, I want to build a sculpture for Xiang Guodong in the Marine Division compound. Please report to your superiors and ask for their approval, and then I will start."
