Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

Back at the institute, with a heavy heart, Zhou Yang called the relevant departments to report the situation according to the procedures.

Later, Zhou Yang called the Yan family in the capital and Lao Zhang's only two old comrades, including the elder who he had just met two days ago.

After receiving Zhou Yang's call, the elder was silent on the other end of the phone for a long time. Then he didn't say anything. He just sighed and hung up the phone.

Another boss carefully inquired about Lao Zhang's situation. When he learned that Lao Zhang had made arrangements for his posthumous affairs, he asked Zhou Yang to go through the normal process first and wait for notification of the rest.

Sure enough, as Ye Zhenshan said, when it comes to leadership at this level, some things are not decided by Lao Zhang himself.

However, Zhou Yang also understood.

After all, Lao Zhang's resume is there. If anything happens, he will enter the revolutionary cemetery.

How could he just burn the body casually and scatter the ashes on a broken hill like what his old man told him?

If word of this spreads, what will the people think?

At the same time, Zhou Yang called Lu Zhengjun and asked him to convey the matter to Yan Gengdong.

He and Lao Zhang have a deep relationship, and they can be said to be as close as nephews.

Although Lao Zhang is critically ill and there is a high probability that Yan Gengdong will not be able to come back, he cannot hide it.

In fact, both Lao Zhang himself and Yan Gengdong had anticipated this day when they met in July.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yang insisted on taking Lao Zhang to the capital regardless of his physical condition.

What Zhou Yang wanted at that time was to take him back to say goodbye to his relatives and friends while he was still moving, especially when his thinking was still clear.

Don't be too late to move. It's too late to say goodbye, leaving only regrets.

But Zhou Yang didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

It has only been three months since they last went to the capital, and Lao Zhang's body has collapsed to its current level.

Ugh...

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yang immediately ordered someone to go to the county town to buy things for the funeral. Although it was not necessary to use them, they must be prepared in advance.

Originally, his children and close relatives should do these things, but since Lao Zhang was alone, Zhou Yang could only do these things for him.

As soon as he finished doing this, Chen Beixuan's familiar voice came from outside the office: "Report!"

"Come in!"

After Chen Beixuan opened the door and came in, Huang Rufeng followed behind him.

"Reporting to the chief, elder sister asked me to come over and report to you that we have returned successfully!" Huang Rufeng said loudly.

"Where are Weiwei and the children? Have they gone to the hospital?" Zhou Yang asked in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Zhou Yang immediately said to Chen Beixuan: "Get the car ready, let's go there too!".

"Yes!"

Soon, several people drove out of the institute and went straight to the hospital.

When Zhou Yang came outside Lao Zhang's ward again, he heard the heartbreaking cries of the children from a distance.

Hearing the sound, Zhou Yang's heart suddenly tightened, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

When he pushed the door open and came in, he saw Li Youwei, Ye Zhilan, Ma Xiaolan and others sitting around Lao Zhang's hospital bed, while Wen Hui and Bao'er were holding Lao Zhang's skinny arms, crying and shouting "Grandpa" ".

Watching this scene directly, Zhou Yang's eyes became wet.

The only good thing is that although the children cried loudly and were very sad, Lao Zhang was still alive. It was just hard for the children to accept seeing him like this.

Walking lightly to the hospital bed, Zhou Yang knelt down and patted the two children, then comforted him: "Okay, stop crying, let your Grandpa Zhang have a good rest."

Bao'er immediately turned around, threw herself into Zhou Yang's arms, and cried: "Dad, Bao'er knows that you are the best. Please help Grandpa Zhang get better quickly. Bao'er doesn't want to see Grandpa Zhang like this..."

Wen Hui also looked at Zhou Yang expectantly. In his eyes, Uncle Zhou in front of him was the savior in his heart.

Whenever his family is in trouble, Uncle Zhou can always help them turn the corner. This was the case when his father was injured by a collapsing bullpen. He also helped find someone to take care of Grandpa Zhang's several serious illnesses.

Therefore, this time, like Bao'er, he wanted Zhou Yang to turn the tide again.

Looking at the hopeful eyes of the children, Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh.

He also wanted to nod to them and tell them that he could save old Uncle Zhang. This was also the answer the children wanted.

But he couldn't do that. There was obviously a difference in the harm done to the children by not having hope and by giving hope and then having it shattered.

Li Youwei also saw Zhou Yang's dilemma at this time, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Wen Hui, Bao'er, the doctors will definitely try their best to treat your Grandpa Zhang. Don't..."

Just as he was talking, a subtle "hum" sound suddenly came from the ward, followed by a muffled cough.

At this time, Ma Xiaolan suddenly said: "Stop... stop talking, the teacher is awake..."

Hearing Ma Xiaolan's voice, everyone's eyes instantly focused on Lao Zhang.

Sure enough, with a "hum" sound, Lao Zhang's closed eyes slowly opened, revealing his cloudy eyes.

At the same time, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, his breathing was a little short, and his face turned a little red.

Ma Xiaolan and Ye Zhilan were obviously very experienced in this matter, and they immediately stepped forward to help Lao Zhang's body up.

Then, one person patted his back gently, while the other took out a spittoon from under the bed and placed it in front of him.

"Cough...cough..."

There was a violent cough that I could feel after hearing it, and then Lao Zhang suddenly spit out a large mouthful of bloody phlegm.

Then, Lao Zhang gasped for air with Ma Xiaolan's support.

After a while, the strangeness in his throat disappeared, and the abnormal redness on his face disappeared, returning to its previous pale color.

Although Lao Zhang's face looked a little scary, he was sober at least.

Seeing the children crying out of excitement and worry in front of the hospital bed, Lao Zhang showed a smile on his face and wanted to raise his hand to touch Wen Hui and Bao'er, but he only raised his arm slightly, but in the end Still couldn't lift it up.

When Wen Hui saw this, he immediately grabbed Lao Zhang's hand and looked at him with tearful eyes.

"grandfather..."

"Good...good boy...don't...don't cry..."

"Wow..."

The more Lao Zhang said this, the more the two children couldn't stop crying, and the two younger ones on the other side of the hospital bed also started crying.

Zhou Yang on the side couldn't stand it anymore and immediately said: "Wen Hui, Bao'er, please stop crying now!"

"I have something to tell you, Grandpa Zhang. You can listen quietly and don't disturb me. Do you understand?"

The two children nodded obediently. Although they forcibly closed their mouths to prevent themselves from making any sound, their shoulders were still twitching, which was heartbreaking to watch.

Zhou Yang squatted in front of Lao Zhang's hospital bed, then looked at him and said: "Uncle Zhang, I have just reported your situation to the organization. I think the relevant departments will send someone over soon. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? You can tell me first, and I will relay it to the organization for you later."

Lao Zhang gasped for air and waited for a while before saying: "I have to explain... I have told you before... I have no last wishes..."

"Xiao...Xiaolan is a good...good girl...Thanks to her taking care of you in the past few months..."

Having said this, Lao Zhang gasped again.

Zhou Yang naturally understood what he meant, and immediately said: "I understand what you mean, I will make appropriate arrangements for Xiaolan and your apprentices in the editorial department."

"well..."

At this time, Zhou Yang said again: "Uncle Zhang, I have good news for you. Just yesterday, the 18th primary school and the third middle school you donated were completed. More than children have benefited from you."

"it is good..."

"Furthermore, this year's copyright dividends have been calculated. Preliminary estimates suggest that you will receive at least 5 yuan this year. Do you have any explanation for this money?" Zhou Yang said again.

"Pay...national...party dues..."

"I understand, you mean that this money handed over to the country will be regarded as your last party dues, right?" Zhou Yang said.

"right..."

After saying that, Lao Zhang began to breathe heavily again, and his body was trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Ye Zhilan immediately laid Lao Zhang flat on the bed, and then said: "Everyone, go out and let Grandpa Zhang rest for a while. He is not in good spirits and cannot talk to everyone for a long time!"

After hearing this, everyone walked out of the ward with reluctance and worry...
