Su Funeral Company.

Su Chen received a call from the landlady.

“Why Pingzhuang Cemetery of all places? What happened?” Su Chen was a little surprised and asked.

On the other end of the phone, the landlady seemed to be a little surprised.

“You rascal, are you jinxing me? To think that you’re still a funeral attendant. Don’t tell me you don’t even know about the incident at Pingzhuang Cemetery?”

“I’ve been busy in other places for the past two days. What happened at Pingzhuang Cemetery?” Su Chen quickly asked.

That was the place where Chu Guozhong had been buried. The country deeply respected the dead. They would not stir up any fuss when it concerned them.

What could happen at a cemetery?

However, he heard the landlady explain.

“No wonder you weren’t around these past two days. It turns out that you were out of town. This matter had already become popular on the internet. It was exposed yesterday. I don’t know if you’ve seen a popular article on the internet, “The great figure of ordinary county town: Master Chu of Qingyang County donated all three million yuan in demolition funds before his death!”

“Well, I do know that!”

Su Chen frowned slightly. He had also read this article. It was written by a reporter about Chu Guozhong.

It also mentioned his three filial sons and daughters.

It seemed to be quite popular at that time.

“It’s that Master Chu. Do you know who he is?”

“A veteran?”

“Ah, didn’t you not know?”

“I guessed.”

“You guessed right! But you definitely don’t know the story behind him! Yesterday, a reporter from a veteran newspaper reported this. After a few days of investigation, he found out all about this old hero’s past! Back then, during the War of resistance, this old hero had sustained than a hundred injuries all over his body. A few of the injuries had even threatened his life. During the War of resistance that spanned over a decade, he had participated in nearly a thousand battles of all sizes! In the War of resistance, he had even obtained first-class battle merits! More than twenty merit medals, large and small! These merit medals were all hidden in a small box by that low-key old man. His children didn’t even know what a great hero their father was!

The old hero had lived a low-key life. Even before he left, he had only selected to be buried at an ordinary cemetery! I cried when I read this. I heard that today, the tomb of this battle hero will be moved to the Martyrs’ Cemetery! Come with me to Pingzhuang Cemetery. Let’s pay tribute to the old hero together!”

There were no customers to attend to.

Su Chen had no reason to refuse, so he agreed.

Chu Guozhong was a veteran, he knew that much.

But he did not know this. Chu Guozhong had once risked his life for the country on the battlefield and attained outstanding military achievements!

He was actually such a low-key hero!

…

Soon, the landlady arrived at his company.

Lin Yu, who had always been sexy and hot in the past and wore bold clothes, was now dressed more conservatively.

She came in her own BMW sports car.

“Su Chen, get in!”

She threw the BMW key to Su Chen and asked him to drive her.

Su Chen raised his eyebrows and teased,

“So you want me to be the driver?”

“If you really want to interpret it that way, then I won’t deny it!”

Lin Yu chuckled.

Soon, the two of them drove to Pingzhuang Cemetery.

…

Pingzhuang Cemetery.

There was a long line of thousands of people!

After Chu Guozhong’s past was exposed, his heroic identity could no longer be hidden. More and more people began to come forward to pay their respects to this great hero.

Even those who were far away from other provinces and cities also came from thousands of miles away.

The two could only get off the car and slowly follow the crowd into Pingzhuang Cemetery.

In front of Chu Guozhong’s grave.

Three ceremonial soldiers were carrying medals, urns, and certificates of martyrs!

The ceremonial soldiers in the middle stepped out from the crowd and handed the urns to Chu Guozhong’s three sons and daughters with a solemn expression!

Next to him, the person in charge of handling the relocation of Chu Guozhong’s tomb said loudly to everyone,

“After many verifications, we have confirmed that comrade Chu Guozhong, who is buried here, is a war hero! During the War of resistance, he had participated in 1,035 battles, and had one third-class merit medal, and twelve second-class merit medals… … His military achievements were outstanding! Before the hero passed away, he had donated all of his assets to poor schools, helping countless poor children have the opportunity to go to school!

The hero wanted to keep a low profile, but we shouldn’t forget it!

Now, we will welcome the hero Chu Guozhong’s tomb back to the Martyrs’Cemetery!”

As his voice fell, countless people at the scene wept for him.

This was especially so for some of Chu Guozhong’s former relatives and friends. At that moment, they were even more moved to tears!

Who would have thought that Chu Guozhong, who had once lived by their side, actually had such a glorious past.

A war hero had been right beside them!

Chu Guozhong’s tomb was about to be welcomed back to the Martyrs’ Cemetery.

No one would doubt whether Chu Guozhong had the qualifications. Those 20-plus shining military medals were enough to prove everything!

A piece of red silk covered the urn. Chu Anfu personally held it with both hands. Under everyone’s gaze, he walked towards a limousine!

Under everyone’s collective gaze, the urn of the hero, the military medals, and the Martyrs’ qualifications were carried onto the limousine one after another.

As they watched the back of the limousine gradually disappear into the distance, the atmosphere became solemn.

Many people were in tears.

Paying tribute to the veteran!

Paying tribute to the hero!

Su Chen, who was in the crowd, noticed that some residents of Huayi town had also rushed over.

Two teachers, Xiao Lin, and Xiao Ai led the children. Each of them wore a small white flower on their chests, and they stood not far away with gratitude and respect!

The spirit of Chu Guozhong, the hero of the War of resistance, seemingly spread to these children.

How lucky were they to live in this country!

To be able to have countless heroes like Chu Guozhong, and to have countless pioneers like Tang Ying, who went to the poor mountain without hesitation and took root!

A hopeful nation can not be without heroes

A promising country can not do without pioneers!
