Six hundred and fortieth chapters do not seek the same life
"Old leader, you are here," Du Chengze couldn't help but sigh when he saw Yu Fan who opened the door for him personally. Thinking of the ups and downs over the years, the most important thing for him was to choose Yu Fan. And took him to Xinyang City, and then he became what he is today. Thinking of this, Du Chengze couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.
"Xiaofan, the old man passed away, I came to offer incense to express my feelings." Patting Yu Fan on the shoulder, Du Chengze sighed in his heart. Yu Fan is a person who misses old feelings. At this time, Tian Jiaqiang also stepped forward and was full of emotions. He said with excitement: "Secretary Du, I am the mayor of Lucaotan Town. On behalf of the people of the town, I welcome your arrival."
Du Chengze didn't know Tian Jiaqiang, and looked at him with some confusion. Yu Fan said softly from the side: "Thanks to Comrade Jiaqiang's help these two days," Du Chengze smiled and nodded. How could he hide his dirty tricks from him? He stepped forward and gently held Tian Jiaqiang's hand. "Thank you, Comrade Jiaqiang." When Tian Jiaqiang heard this, his face turned red and he said, "It should be, it should be," Du Chengze laughed. With a smile, he turned around and took Yu Fan's hand, saying: "The people here today are all old friends, no outsiders."
At this time, Fang Zheng and Huang Rui had already come over. Fang Zheng had been transferred to a neighboring county in the past two years to serve as deputy secretary of the county party committee, which was considered a high promotion. Huang Rui has now achieved his wish and became the deputy secretary of Xinyang City. Compared with Du Chengze, the deputy mayor and standing committee member, the two of them did not have the same relationship as Du Chengze and Yu Fan. When they met again, they both took a step forward and took the lead in extending their hands. Yu Fan also smiled at their arrival. grateful.
In fact, Fang Zheng and Huang Rui's emotions at this time are still very complicated. A few years ago, Yu Fan was just a small figure in their eyes. In just a few years, he already needs them to look up to him. This situation is really what they had in the past. It was something that they had never imagined in their dreams, which made the two of them feel slightly sour in their hearts.
Seeing Du Chengze going up to Wanxiang and talking to his father, Yu Fan felt very touched. The last time he saw the old leader, he looked extremely haggard, but now he seems to be rejuvenated. It seems that This official's desire for power is really fascinating.
Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Bing's driver came over gently and whispered: "Secretary Yu, the leader's car has arrived at the entrance of the village." Yu Fan nodded lightly, and was about to turn around, but thought for a moment, He walked up to Du Chengze and whispered: "Old leader, Deputy Secretary Liu Bing has arrived." Du Chengze originally knew about this. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Then let's go and greet Deputy Secretary Liu."
Seeing that Du Chengze came with Yu Fan, Liu Bing was slightly startled at first, but then he smiled and held Yu Fan's hand, saying: "You are still the same as before, you are all a family, you are so polite, really," Yu Fan smiled slightly, and Liu Bing smiled again, holding Du Chengze's hand and saying: "Comrade Chengze is here too," Du Chengze said with a smile, "The old man has passed away, so I came to offer incense to express my feelings." Liu Bing said with a smile, "I should Yes, it should be,"
While Liu Bing was offering incense, Yu Shigang, secretary of the town party committee, rushed to Yujiawan Village angrily. His mood today was extremely dark. Everyone in the party secretary, Du Chengze, had arrived in Yujiawan Village, but no one came to notify him. The secretary of the town committee almost had the urge to curse, but he had no choice but to rush to Yujiawan Village with some cadres from the town.
Seeing Tian Jiaqiang, Yu Shigang's eyes looked at him as if they were on fire. Normally, Tian Jiaqiang would really be a little afraid of him. After all, the secretary is the leader, and Yu Shigang's strength in the town has been revealed. When I came out, I also had a strong background in the city, so there were still many people who passed the exam. But today when Tian Jiaqiang saw Yu Shigang's appearance, he was not at all panicked, and even felt a little funny. This Yu Shigang's behavior It's been a really unlucky two days.
Walking forward, Yu Shigang looked at Tian Jiaqiang and was about to say something. Tian Jiaqiang already smiled and said: "Secretary Yu, Secretary Du and Deputy Secretary Liu of Donghu City are all inside," these words seemed to give Yu Shi After pouring a basin of cold water on him, he quickly calmed down, glared at Tian Jiaqiang fiercely, snorted, and turned around to walk inside.
Liu Bing had finished offering incense and was talking to Yu Fan's father. Yu Shigang walked up to Du Chengze with a group of party committee members and said loudly: "Secretary Du, on behalf of the town party committee, I warmly welcome you to your arrival." Du Chengze frowned upon hearing this. Wrinkled, he said with some displeasure: "Comrade Shi Gang, today I came to Comrade Yu Fan's house in a private capacity to pay homage to the old man. I did not come to inspect the work. You should not disturb other people's business with such a large number of troops. "
When Yu Shigang heard this, he sweated on his anxious forehead and said repeatedly: "Yes, I didn't think carefully." Seeing a bunch of people standing here and a large circle outside, Du Chengze couldn't help but feel even more uneasy. Yue, on the other hand, Liu Bing had already finished speaking and glanced at the crowd in front of him lightly, "Comrade Chengze, I don't think we should stay here. The comrades from Donghu City who came with me have already rushed there first." We are going to Xinyang City, I think we should rush there as well." Upon hearing this, Du Chengze nodded quickly and followed Liu Bing out, but before leaving, he gave Yu Shigang a cold look, which made Yu Shigang just feel His body went limp and he almost fell down on the spot. Fortunately, someone behind him helped him with quick hands and eyes, so that he didn't make a fool of himself on the spot.
Soon, Liu Bing and Du Chengze left in a car. Before leaving, Liu Bing made an appointment with Yu Fan to call him in Donghu City after he had finished handling the family matters. Yu Fan also nodded and agreed, although this time it was Liu Bing alone. came, but the car came with some people and sent a lot of wreaths. Some were Yu Fan’s classmates when he was in the Provincial Party School. It seems that everyone is doing well now, and some of Yu Fan’s are not so good. Remember, they must be some people I don’t know very well, but since others have sent wreaths, I should also express my gratitude to everyone. This is a matter of reciprocity.
So many cars appeared in Yujiawan Village, making the whole village very excited. Although everyone did not know who was coming, it was the first time for Yujiawan Village to see such a situation. , many people looked at the Yu family with eyes full of envy, which made relatives like Yu Fan feel even more proud.
The day of the funeral is the most lively time of the whole funeral. The huge funeral procession goes from the beginning of the village to the end of the village. Along the way, people from every household set off firecrackers to show their respect and condolences for the elderly. People will hold the portrait of the old man and bow to express their gratitude. Naturally, someone will wrap cigarettes in white cloth as a gift in return. Basically, the price of cigarettes will be higher than that of firecrackers to show the gratitude of the host.
As the eldest son, Yu Fan's father is naturally the one who carries the portrait. Although Yu Fan has a high rank in everyone's eyes, at this time he is just a member of the team. Like everyone else, he kneels when he should and when he should. Bowing when bowing, Lin Ning and his son also walked among the crowd wearing sackcloth and mourning. At this time, everyone has only one identity, that is, the elder's descendants. Everything else can be ignored.
Standing at the entrance of the village, watching the hearse leave in the distance, Yu Fan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief as he stood next to Lin Ning. No matter how reluctant he was to leave, he had to leave. It turns out that letting go is so difficult but also so simple. Look at Lin Ning's embrace. Yu Fan couldn't help but smile. Life is always in a cycle. Some people pass away and others are born. One day he will also grow old. Nothing is eternal. Those eternal things have been put away. In Yu Fan's heart.
There were very few people following the hearse. Most of them walked back home. Soon, my father and the others would come back with grandma’s ashes for burial. After going through the final process of laying her to rest, Yu Fan took Lin Ning and her children. When he walked home, his grandfather sat on the rocking chair and looked at him with a smile on his face, his expression was very peaceful.
Just like when he was a child, Yu Fan squatted next to the old man. Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort, the old man smiled and waved his hand, "Silly boy, grandpa still needs you to comfort him. What grandpa has gone through is... Much more than you, haha, your grandma, you have never had a good life with your grandpa all your life, but your grandma is a nice person and doesn’t care about me, so she has been here for more than fifty years, alas. , it’s been more than fifty years in a flash,” as he spoke, Grandpa seemed to think of the scene back then, and for the first time there was a sad look in his eyes.
Yu Fan didn't know what to say for a moment, and was afraid that his grandfather would become silent in such a sad mood. Fortunately, the little guy in Lin Ning's arms burst into tears at this time, making the old man's eyes light up and he looked at him with a smile. He, Lin Ning, cleverly stepped forward and handed the little guy into the old man's hands. Strangely enough, the little guy stopped crying as soon as it was in the old man's hands. He looked at the old man with a pair of black eyes, and soon started to giggle. laughed.
Grandpa happily teased his grandson, which made Yu Fan feel relieved. Many relatives had come back one after another. Many people came to the old man and said hello and comforted him. The old man just smiled and nodded. At this time, the little boy The guy has returned to Lin Ning's arms, and Yu Fan has been accompanying the old man.
It seemed that he was a little tired. Grandpa leaned on the recliner with his eyes closed. Yu Fan was about to get up and get a quilt for the old man to cover him. Suddenly he heard the old man say: "Xiao Fan, you have to be good in the future." After hearing this, he turned around and saw his grandfather looking at him with a smile. He nodded subconsciously, but found that the old man's eyes had not opened at all. He was just lying there with a rosy face, as if he was asleep, with a very unpleasant smell. A good premonition arose in Yu Fan's heart and he couldn't help but stand up.
Holding Grandpa's hand tightly, feeling the old man's gradually cooling temperature, Yu Fan's tears couldn't stop flowing out, but strangely, there was no trace of sadness in his heart, and Lin Ning also discovered at this moment that Yu Fan Abnormal, he turned to look at the old man, his face turned pale with horror for a while, and then he held Yu Fan's hand, but his eyes began to show a trace of envy. Yes, it was really envy. The two old men left first, The other one seemed to be chasing away. This kind of feeling made Lin Ning envious from the bottom of her heart. She didn't want to live together.
