Margaret said: "Silly, what are you waiting for? Why don't you kiss your bride quickly?"

Chu Zhennan suddenly hugged Margaret in his arms.

Everyone was crying. Looking at the old people who had finally come together after twists and turns, they began to recall their feelings. Chu Yanran kept crying, but fortunately Zhang Yang was by her side, hugging her shoulders, and comforting her with her broad and warm heart.

Lin Xiu was also wiping her tears. When she was about to find her, Xie Zhiguo gave him his hand in time.

There was tears flashing in Song Huaiming's eyes. He remembered Chu Jingzhi, and the moment when the sky collapsed, his wife's figure disappeared forever in front of him along with the collapsed buildings.

Chu Zhennan kissed Margaret's lips. Although her lips were no longer moist, and although her face had grown old with the years, in Chu Zhennan's heart, she was always the foreign girl with braids. His love with her has gone through the war and the wind and rain. When they grow old, they can finally embrace each other again. Chu Zhennan whispered to his wife's ears that Margaret wanted him to say for the rest of his life, and he thought it was extremely stingy: "I love you..."

This was also the last sentence Chu Zhennan said in his life. Before the end of his life, he finally let his wife hear this sentence. Chu Zhennan walked peacefully, fell asleep peacefully, and then no longer heard it.

Everyone around saw Chu Zhennan's sudden arms hanging down and wanted to step forward.

"Don't come here!" Margaret said loudly.

Everyone stopped at the same time and saw the thin Margaret holding Chu Zhennan's burly body and moving to the sofa little by little. It was difficult to walk, but she had a smile on her face. It took a lot of effort to put Chu Zhennan's body on the sofa. Margaret wiped off the sweat from her forehead, sat on the sofa, held Chu Zhennan's gray head, placed it on her legs, and said softly: "Go out, he is too tired, he is asleep, let him have a good sleep..."

Chu Yanran covered her lips, turned around and threw herself into Zhang Yang's arms. Zhang Yang hugged her tightly, feeling Chu Yanran's delicate body trembled constantly due to extreme sadness.

Chen Chongshan waved his hand, and everyone retreated silently. After walking out of the small building, Chu Yanran cried first. She beat Zhang Yang's chest and bit Zhang Yang's chest hard. The pain made Zhang Yang's brow tremble, but he didn't move, just hugged Chu Yanran tightly.

A drizzle drizzled in the sky. Hong Changwu and Xie Zhiguo, the iron-hard men, couldn't help but shed tears at this time.

Chen Chongshan did not cry, his voice was painful and slow: "I am not old enough to be old, but I can still become a ghost hero after death! Zhennan! Let's go!"

Because of Chu Zhennan's departure, Song Huaiming delayed his return. Chu Zhennan was highly respected during his lifetime. After he left, his comrades and subordinates came from all over the country. Margaret did not arrange for anyone to look up on his appearance. According to Chu Zhennan's last words, he sparked him early the next morning and did not hold a memorial service. The troops specially arranged a mourning hall in the military auditorium where Chu Zhennan worked during his lifetime to mourn for Chu Zhennan's former comrades and subordinates to commemorate him.

Margaret and his family buried Chu Zhennan's ashes on the island, without a tomb, but just planted a ginkgo tree on the ashes.

Song Huaiming put a handful of soil in his hand beside the tree. He said to Margaret: "Mom, Dad has many comrades in his life, why don't he hold a memorial service?"

Margaret said: "He liked the excitement and many people when he was alive, but although the memorial service was crowded, the atmosphere was not good. Everyone was crying. I was afraid that the old guy would feel upset when he heard it, so let him leave with peace of mind."

Song Huaiming nodded.

Chen Chongshan said: "Zhennan is at ease. I think his spirit in heaven also wants all of us to send him happily."

Margaret smiled indifferently and said, "Old Chen is right. Zhennan is not dead. He is just living in our hearts in another way." She glanced at Chu Yanran, and her granddaughter's wonderful eyes were already red and swollen. Margaret said, "Yanran, when I leave in the future, I will bury me next to your grandfather and plant a ginkgo tree to see who is taller."

Chu Yanran nodded with tears in her eyes.

Margaret showed unexpected strength after she passed away in Chu Zhennan. She added the last handful of soil to the ginkgo tree, began to water the ginkgo tree, put down the kettle, and said to the people around her: "I've been busy all day. You go back to have a meal. I want to stay alone with the old guy for a while and talk to him."

Zhang Yang held Chu Yanran's hand and left together. Chu Yanran was a little worried about her grandmother, so she took a few steps and looked back.

Seeing my grandmother standing in front of the ginkgo tree, staring at the tree affectionately. In her heart, Chu Zhennan has become that ginkgo tree, and his life is continuing in this way...

Song Huaiming came to Chu Yanran and whispered: "Yanran, go eat something. You have never eaten since last night." A father is always paying attention to his daughter.

Chu Yanran nodded: "I understand..." After saying that, she paused and said: "Dad, go and rest too!" It was my grandfather's wish to make them reconcile. Chu Yanran called Song Huaiming's dad to let the grandfather not far away hear it.

Song Huaiming nodded excitedly and said to Zhang Yang: "Zhang Yang, take good care of Yanran!" He had already taken back the letter, and his daughter had already admitted to him as a father, and there was no need to show the letter to her.

Lin Xiu had prepared the meal and just waited for everyone to come back to eat. Chu Yanran did not eat, but returned to her room. Zhang Yang was not relieved that she was alone and went to get a bowl of noodles to Chu Yanran's room.

Chu Yanran silently packed up the clothes in the wardrobe.

Zhang Yang said: "If you don't eat anything, you can't hold on to it."

Chu Yanran paused for a moment, seemed to remember something, walked back to Zhang Yang, took off the engagement brass ring from her hand, and handed it to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang said: "What are you doing?"

Chu Yanran's eyes were still sad, but she was very rational now: "Thank you for proposing to me and comforting him before my grandfather left."

Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "I'm not trying to comfort him, I really propose to you."

Chu Yanran said: "Thank you for everything you did for me, I don't want to force you."

Zhang Yang said: "Yanran, we have wasted too much time. I don't want to be separated from you anymore. I like you! I want to marry you!" He grabbed Chu Yanran's hand and almost domineeringly hugged her delicate body into his arms.

Chu Yanran said: "I believe, but I know, you are not ready yet!"

Zhang Yang's muscles on his back became tense involuntarily.

At this time, Chu Yanran's phone rang, and she whispered: "I'll go answer the phone."

Zhang Yang let go of her, Chu Yanran picked up her phone: "Hey!"

A strange man's voice sounded: "Yanran, I will be mourning and follow the changes. I will express my most painful condolences to Commander Chu's departure."

Although Chu Yanran didn't know who the other party was, she still said thank you politely.

The other party then revealed his identity: "Yanran, you should still remember me. When you were a child, I often took you to play. I am Uncle Li!" The other party said and added: "Do you still remember? One year I rode a bicycle to buy candy. The ground was slid on the road. We fell down together, and your head was bruised. As a result, I was beaten up by your grandfather."

Chu Yanran searched for the memory, and she soon remembered that Uncle Li was Li Tongyu. In her memory, Uncle Li was very nice to him. He often came to see him for a while after his mother died, but later disappeared. There has been no news about him in nearly ten years. Chu Yanran whispered: "Uncle Li, I remember."

When Zhang Yang heard Chu Yanran's words, he was stunned. He almost immediately thought of Li Tongyu. Could it be that this call was made by Li Tongyu?

Li Tongyu said: "Yanran, I'm in Jing'an, I have something about your mother that I want to tell you."

Chu Yanran said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Li, I'm in a mess now. Can you say it another day?"

Li Tongyu said: "Some truths should not be covered up, otherwise it would be disrespect to the dead. The earthquake fourteen years ago buried a lot of things. Why did your mother choose to stay until the end? What made her forget that her daughter was still at home and devote all her energy to her work? Do you know that there was no name on the front-line rescue team? Do you know that she had an argument with your father on the eve of the earthquake?"

Chu Yanran's lips trembled: "I don't understand what you are talking about?"

Li Tongyu said: "When your mother was buried in a collapsed building, your father was directing another rescue operation. The students rescued from that disaster were students and a young teacher, whose name was Liu Yuying!"

Chu Yanran bit her lip tightly: "You are lying to me!"

Li Tongyu said: "I have a piece of information in my hand, detailed information about the earthquake. Not only that, I can also prove that your father, Song Huaiming! He met Liu Yuying before he rescued her. I have enough evidence to prove that he directed the rescue team to save people, not just selfless, but to pretend to be selfish, because the person he was most nervous was Liu Yuying, and your mother had discovered their relationship on the eve of the earthquake!"

Chu Yanran said angrily: "You are lying!"

Li Tongyu said: "I am at Mengxian Lake Wharf, all the evidence is in my hands!"

Chu Yanran put down the phone and walked out the door without saying a word. Zhang Yang stepped forward and grabbed her arm: "Yanran, is it a call from Li Tongyu? That person has ulterior motives."
