Chapter 344 I want to return the watch to my son

0346 I want to return the watch to my son

The long-awaited reunion moment has finally arrived.

But when she rushed to the door and saw the situation in the yard, she was stunned.

The old man came back, listless, bent over, his whole body seemed to be half short.

The military political commissar and the divisional political commissar came together, and there was another person, the head of the regiment where her son was, surnamed Li, whom she had met.

Master Zhang Zhixin couldn't say a word, and the moment he stepped into the house after finishing his work in the army, his whole body collapsed.

"Old sister-in-law."

"Miss."

Hearing these desolate cries one after another, he looked again, and there was clearly no sign of his son among the people who came.

At this moment, this military wife, this mother, has already thought of it.

Overcast, the mother was clearly trembling.

She rushed forward, grabbed the old man's arm anxiously and shouted, "Where's my son? Where's my son?"

Master Zhang, who commanded thousands of troops, did not dare to face up to his wife, and lowered his head, like a child who has done something wrong.

As everyone knows, at this moment, he feels no better than his wife.

He was the one who brought his son to the battlefield, and he also arranged the most dangerous mission through the back door.

The task was completed, but the son failed to come back.

The mother cried out more and more tragically, and finally sat on the ground powerlessly, chanting silently: "I want my son! I want my son!"

"You give back my son! You give back my son!"

"Where's my son? Why didn't he come back."

This is a mother's obsession.

"Old sister-in-law, be stronger, be stronger."

"Old sister-in-law, Xiaoli is your good boy and a good soldier of the party... He is very brave, and he died with honor."

The political commissars at the military and division levels are also over fifty years old, and they all grew up watching Zhang Li.

The children in such a large compound were sacrificed. As elders and leaders, they were also very sad.

Soldiers are not good at expressing.
The sky is spinning, the ground is spinning, everything becomes blurred, and everything becomes wobbly.

The old mother refused to believe that her beloved son just left her forever.

Wang Liang said: "Five years later, Master Zhang Zhixin, who has worked hard in the front line for 39 years, accepted the organization's arrangement and retreated to the second line."

"Because of a series of diseases such as high blood pressure, and considering Master Zhang's physical problems, for a long time, this general who lost his son in old age has not had the opportunity to visit his son at the martyrs' cemetery in Guangxi Province."

Wang Liang tried his best not to add any emotional color in the process of telling the story: "Until the spring of [-], Mr. Zhang Zhixin suffered from pericardial effusion, high blood pressure and other serious and old diseases at the same time, and his body collapsed all at once. come down."

Perhaps Mr. Zhang felt that if he didn't visit his son, he would have no chance.

One day, Mr. Zhang, who was lying on the hospital bed, said to his wife: "I dreamed about my son again. I want to go to the Martyrs Cemetery in Jingxi to see him!"

How could the wife not want her son, but considering her husband's health, she couldn't help persuading: "Old man, we have been here for so many years. Now you are too sick and your body can't stand the toss, so let's not go, okay ?"

Master Zhang Zhixin shook his head: "Yesterday I dreamed about our son again. He complained to me, saying that he forced to keep his watch before the war. Now, I want to return it to him personally."

Speaking of this, Wang Liang couldn't help but introduce the origin of this watch.

Speaking of which, I still have some connections with this watch.

Wang Liang said: "In 1965, the watch factory in Shanghai successfully assembled the first batch of self-winding watch prototypes in China. The movement model is SS2C, with 29 jewel bearings."

The watch model equipped with SS2 manual mechanism is Ref.641.

At that time, the consumption power of the domestic masses was very low, so the plan to introduce Ref.641 to the market on a large scale was shelved.

But at this time, in order to ensure military supplies, a small number of Ref.641s have been marked with military marks and become military watches.

Later, the Second Department of the People's Liberation Army General Staff came to the Shanghai Provincial Watch Factory and asked for cooperation in the production of watches for military use, requiring calendar, automatic, and waterproof.

So the watch factory in Shanghai produced two kinds of automatic movements, the movement models are SS2C (29 diamonds) and SS4C (24 diamonds).

According to the number of ruby ​​bearings used inside the movement, they are named Shanghai 29 Diamond Military Watch and Shanghai 24 Diamond Military Watch.

Wang Liang continued: "These two military watches are products of the same period. They have similar shapes and the same principle of automatic winding, but the main structure of the basic movement of the two is quite different."

"The 29-diamond SS2C movement has more escape wheel shock absorbers and one more wheel train than the 24-diamond SS4C movement, so relatively speaking, the shockproof effect is better, the movement structure is more complicated, and the natural cost is also high. "

"So, at that time, the 29-diamond military watch was distributed to cadres above the division level, and the 24-diamond military watch was distributed to cadres above the regiment level."

"The child Zhang Li has always liked his father's 29-diamond watch, but how could Mr. Zhang Zhixin, who has always been strict in public and private affairs, give the watch to his son, even if the watch belongs to him."

"Later, I presented the watch issued to me by the General Staff to my nephew"

Speaking of this, everything is self-evident.

Later, when he participated in the war, Master Zhang Zhixin felt that it was too ostentatious for his son to carry this 29-diamond watch on the battlefield, so he asked him to keep it for him.

Who knows, this has become his lifelong regret.

Later, Master Zhang Zhixin always carried that watch with him, as if his son was by his side.

Now that his health is getting worse, the father feels that he should return the watch to his son in his lifetime.

Looking at the obsessive wife, the wife finally agreed.

Wang Liang said: "After some preparations, the old couple supported each other and set out on the road."

"It took them nearly [-] days to stop and go, and finally arrived at the Jingxi Martyrs Cemetery in Guangxi Province before the Ching Ming Festival."

Zhang Zhixin said to the tombstone, "Son, the most successful thing Dad did in his life was to send you to the front line; the most painful thing was to send you to the front line."

"Dad is glad that your mother didn't hide from me and your uncle at that critical time. Dad is glad that he has such a good son as you, and he didn't embarrass the party and the country."

"Son, you are one of thousands of fighters who fell beside Dad, Dad is proud of you!"

"Dad, in the name of a veteran, salutes you and all comrades who died for the country!"

With that said, he stood up with difficulty and gave his son a military salute!
Finally, Master Zhang Zhixin put the 29-diamond military watch beside his son.

"Four years later, Master Zhang Zhixin died of illness in Hong Kong City, Lu Province." Wang Liang finished speaking.
