Xu Chunliang opened a corner of the tent and happened to see this sad scene. He pursed his lips, feeling an indescribable emotion in his heart, and quietly retreated out.
The phone rang. It was a call from Ye Qingya. Xu Chunliang looked at the name on the screen and hesitated whether to answer it. He wasn't sure if Ye Qingya already knew the bad news.
"Take it, she will know sooner or later." Lin Sijin did not know when she appeared next to Xu Chunliang.
Xu Chunliang nodded, walked aside and connected the phone. Lin Sijin looked at her daughter from a distance. Although she couldn't see her daughter, she could really feel her daughter's sadness. She always thought that she was strong enough to face everything, but she couldn't.
She didn't have the courage to tell her daughter about her husband's death, so she told the truth through Xu Chunliang.
The truth is often cruel, but it is unavoidable.
Lin Sijin decided to send Ye Changyuan's body back to the capital. However, under the current situation, occupying public resources would inevitably be criticized, but she could not think too much. If the body was cremated on the spot, the Ye family would not be able to see the last of him.
one side.
Out of respect for the Ye family, Lin Sijin discussed it with Ye Changquan. Ye Changquan's plane had just landed at the Capital Airport, and his attitude towards this matter was relatively cautious. As a member of the system, he must consider the subsequent impact, although he was also very cautious.
I want to transport my eldest brother's body back to the capital for cremation, but at this sensitive moment, using a special plane to transport my eldest brother's body back to the capital will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Ye Changquan didn't dare to make the decision without authorization, so he decided to seek his father's opinion first.
Ye Lao stayed up all night, looking out at the increasingly white sky. He sighed softly, turned around, and saw his granddaughter with tears streaming down his face. He squeezed the armrests of the sofa tightly, shook his head, and signaled her nothing.
Needless to say, he understood it completely.
After receiving the call from Ye Changquan, Mr. Ye pondered for a moment, responded in a heavy tone and slowly: "I'm old, I'm tired, you decide for yourself." After saying that, he hung up the phone and stood up.
, looking at Ye Qingya who was crying silently on the side, he took the initiative to walk over and gently hugged his granddaughter: "I'm going to bed. Wake me up when your father comes back."
Ye Qingya looked at her grandfather's suddenly stooped back with tears in her eyes. She knew that her grandfather chose to leave now because he didn't want others to see his sadness.
Old people usually wake up earlier, and the same goes for Mr. Qiao. After waking up, he immediately paid attention to the news of the Juzhou earthquake. After hearing about the plane crash of the Disaster Reduction Committee inspection team, Mr. Qiao suddenly fell silent.
My mood became extremely heavy, and I picked up the phone several times and put it down again.
As an old friend for many years, it was natural that he should express condolences now. He hesitated whether to go to Ye's house in person.
Just when he was fighting fiercely in his heart, Mr. Wang called. Mr. Wang also heard about Ye Changyuan. The three of them had shared joys and sorrows together. Although they had less contact in recent years due to different ideas, their revolution
Friendship never changes.
Mr. Qiao still remembers how his two old friends enlightened him when his son Qiao Yuanshan disappeared. Now that something happened to the Ye family, if he didn't express his condolences at the first time, wouldn't it seem indifferent? What's more, Qiao Ye's family originally
Still in-laws.
Because of Mr. Wang's call, Mr. Qiao decided to call Mr. Ye first, to at least make it clear that he would not stand idly by.
After the phone rang for a few times, Mr. Ye answered it. His voice did not reveal much sadness, but seemed a little tired: "Old Qiao."
Mr. Qiao hummed and said in a low voice: "I have heard about what happened in Changyuan. Now that it has happened, don't be too sad. You must take care of yourself. If you need my help, just tell me."
Ye Laodao: "It is a glorious thing to die in the line of duty. I am not sad. Since he embarked on the path of the system, I have been mentally prepared to hand him over to the country."
Mr. Qiao said with emotion: "Old Ye, you have raised a good son."
Ye Laodao: "I didn't do anything, it was the country that trained him, and he relied on his own efforts to reach this point today. Isn't it the pursuit of us Communists to work hard and die?"
Mr. Qiao said: "Old Ye, I know that you are upright and upright. There are some things that are inconvenient to bring up to the organization. Let me do it."
"No, Lao Qiao, I appreciate your kindness. You have helped him enough."
Mr. Qiao's heart seemed to be squeezed tightly. He realized that Mr. Ye's mood at this time was by no means as peaceful as he expressed verbally. He wanted to explain something, but now was not the right time, so he considered it and added
: "I will arrange for Changyuan to be transported back to the capital."
Ye Laodao: "There were other people on the same plane. They also died in the line of duty. Some of their bodies were not even found. Our Ye family does not want to occupy shared resources at this time. I believe that Changyuan has a spirit in heaven and does not want us to do this."
Yes, we can handle our Ye family's affairs ourselves."
This sentence was said very rudely. Mr. Qiao knew that Mr. Ye was definitely not just overly sad. He said no more, comforted Mr. Ye and hurriedly hung up the phone.
Ever since the incident of Qi Shuang's mother and son being robbed, Qiao Rulong has been staying in the capital to think about his past, and he just happened to be staying at his grandfather's house today.
He had just received the news that Ye Changyuan died in the line of duty, and was about to come out and tell his grandfather, but when he saw his grandfather's face, he realized that he already knew.
"Grandpa, morning!"
Mr. Qiao glanced at his grandson. Since the Nanjiang hijacking incident, the communication between the grandfather and grandson has been significantly less. Although they spend more time together, Mr. Qiao rarely takes the initiative to speak. He can also see
Chu Sunzi is trying every possible means to ease the relationship between them.
Mr. Qiao nodded: "Is something wrong?"
Qiao Rulong said: "It's about Qingya's father."
Qiao Lao picked up the cigarette from the coffee table. Qiao Rulong was a little surprised. Grandpa had already quit smoking, so why did he suddenly start smoking again? Is it because of Ye Changyuan's incident?
Qiao Rulong walked over and took the initiative to help grandpa light the cigarette.
Mr. Qiao took a puff of cigarette and said softly: "He is also your father-in-law."
Qiao Rulong pursed his lips. This was a fact he could not deny, but now that he and Ye Qingya had divorced, there was naturally no such relationship between him and Ye Changyuan.
Mr. Qiao said: "What are you going to do?"
Qiao Rulong said: "I plan to go to Ye's house to see if there is anything I can do to help."
Mr. Qiao took another puff of cigarette, thinking to himself that the Ye family might not want to see him. The old friend who had just been on the phone for many years had clearly expressed his refusal, but no matter what the Ye family thought, they had to go, otherwise others would
Said that the Qiao family was too ruthless.
Mr. Qiao said: "The Ye family believes that I played a role in Ye Changyuan going to the Disaster Reduction Committee."
Qiao Rulong looked at his grandfather in astonishment. He knew that Ye Changquan went to Neon because of his grandfather, but he had never heard that Ye Changyuan's change of position was related to his grandfather.
Mr. Qiao said: "He made some mistakes in decision-making. Someone took the opportunity to kick him out of his original position, but placed the debt on me. Something happened to our two families. It seems that
It all seems so logical.”
Qiao Rulong said: "Grandpa, you can explain."
Mr. Qiao shook his head: "Explanations are useless. The misunderstanding between the Qiao family and the Ye family will probably get deeper and deeper."
Qiao Rulong said: "Grandpa, do I still want to go?"
Mr. Qiao frowned. Do you still need to ask yourself for advice on such a simple matter? He said angrily: "You can figure it out yourself."
Qiao Rulong said: "I heard that his body is still in the disaster area. Will he be cremated there?"
Mr. Qiao said: "There were other people who died on the same plane. Logically, public resources should not be occupied at this time, but after something like this happened, the family members must have wanted to see each other for the last time." He did not say that he took the initiative.
He offered to arrange for the repatriation of the body but Mr. Ye refused.
Qiao Rulong said: "We can't get involved in this matter. It is up to the Ye family to make their own decision."
Mr. Qiao became more and more disappointed in his heart. He was not disappointed that his grandson had drawn a clear line and stood idly by, but he found that Qiao Rulong had no overall perspective. With Qiao Rulong's financial resources and connections, he could use his personal connections to help the Ye family solve this matter, even if he
He and Ye Qingya have already divorced, and if he does this as Ye Changyuan's ex-son-in-law, no one will think he is meddlesome.
After this incident, the remaining old relationship between Qiao Ye's family was completely broken. Mr. Qiao knew very well Mr. Ye's character, and Mr. Ye would definitely put this debt on his head. They were too familiar with each other,
They knew each other's methods too well, and the person who took over Ye Changyuan's position this time was his student. Many people thought that Mr. Qiao was behind it.
Originally, even if Ye Changyuan went to the Disaster Reduction Committee, he would not have turned his old friends against each other, but God's will caused him to die in the line of duty just after he went to the Disaster Reduction Committee.
Mr. Qiao's heart was full of pain. He was saddened by Ye Changyuan's untimely death and saddened by the loss of his friendship with Mr. Ye.
When it comes to political methods, Mr. Ye is not as good as him, but when Mr. Ye wants to deal with someone, he is more direct and stronger than anyone else. Mr. Qiao has never been in such pain in his life, and he never thinks of himself
After he fades out of politics, he still has to face conflicts with his old friends.
Mr. Qiao looked at Qiao Rulong and said firmly: "Rulong, I want you to resign immediately."
Although Qiao Rulong knew that this day would come sooner or later, when his grandfather clearly stated the request, his heart was inevitably shocked: "Immediately?"
Mr. Qiao nodded and said: "You must solve your matter well, don't leave any problems, and don't let anyone create trouble."
Qiao Rulong whispered: "Grandpa, do you mean that the Ye family will target me behind my back?"
Mr. Qiao shook his head: "Old Ye is upright. Even if he wants to deal with you, he will do it openly. I am worried that some people will take advantage of Chang Yuan's death to divide the relationship between our two families and provoke conflicts between us.
The struggle between."
Qiao Rulong said: "Can't the Ye family understand such a simple problem? Ye Changyuan's matter has nothing to do with our family. If you want to target them, why are you helping Ye Changquan..."
Mr. Qiao looked at Qiao Rulong with a scary look, and Qiao Rulong did not dare to continue.
Mr. Qiao said word by word: "Remember, the Ye family has never been our enemy, not in the past, not now, and not in the future!"
