After comprehensive consideration, Ye Changquan decided to cremate his eldest brother's body in Juzhou. After arriving in the capital, he did not go home immediately. He immediately drove to Juzhou to meet his eldest brother for the last time on behalf of the Ye family, and then personally brought the ashes back to Beijing.
But when he told Lin Sijin about his decision, Lin Sijin told him not to come over. She decided to escort Ye Changyuan's body to Beijing. The old man and his daughter must see Ye Changyuan for the last time.
Lin Sijin told Ye Changquan not to worry too much. The escort of the body back to Beijing would not occupy any public resources. Their godson Xu Chunliang would arrange for Ye Changyuan's body to be escorted back to Beijing using a refrigerated truck.
Lin Sijin told Ye Changquan to stay in the capital to prepare for the funeral. After hanging up the phone, she saw that the refrigerated truck arranged by Xu Chunliang had arrived at the rescue center.
The refrigerated truck was originally used by Changshan Hospital to transport disaster relief supplies. In fact, with Xu Chunliang's relationship, a helicopter could be mobilized. However, considering that Ye Changyuan was the one whose helicopter crashed, he still chose land transportation, although it would be a little later.
It is more stable and easier to accept emotionally.
Ding Si came to Xu Chunliang and reported to him that twenty motorcycles and eight cars had been arranged to escort him along the way. In his opinion, for a cadre like Ye Changyuan and Xu Chunliang's godfather, the scene must not be careless.
Xu Chunliang shook his head and said that there was no need for any vehicle to escort him. He and Lin Sijin both went there in a refrigerated truck. They had agreed in advance and tried to keep a low profile so as not to cause trouble to the government. Even if it was a private act this time, they did not want to use too much money.
With more manpower, I hope more people and vehicles will stay to continue earthquake relief. The disaster-stricken areas need their help even more.
The local leaders in Juzhou came to express their condolences, but Lin Sijin was not even in a perfunctory mood. In the end, Xu Chunliang went over to receive him as his godson.
After everything was prepared, they set off immediately. The journey from Juzhou to the capital was about 600 kilometers. Under normal circumstances, they could arrive in about seven hours. However, these were extraordinary times. Many roads and bridges in Juzhou were damaged. They
We had to take a detour and leave, which was estimated to take three hours longer than the original time.
Xu Chunliang also reported his condition to the temporary hospital where he was located. Dean Chang Baoqing gave him the green light, mainly because the city also said hello. Xu Chunliang is Ye Changyuan's godson, and now he represents the rescue center headquarters to escort him.
Ye Changyuan's body returned to Beijing.
Xu Chunliang looked at Lin Sijin next to him. In his impression, his godmother had rarely been so silent. In the past, he always thought that the couple had been separated for many years and their relationship had long been dull. Now it seems that the relationship between the two is much stronger than what the outside world sees.
It should be deep.
Xu Chunliang took out the family photo from his pocket and handed it to Lin Sijin. Lin Sijin took the blood-stained family photo, her eyes were red, and she quickly turned to the car window and looked out the window. At this time, it started to rain again.
It was also raining in the capital. The first thing Ye Changquan did when he returned home was to go straight to his father's room.
Mr. Ye did not close the door. Ye Changquan called dad in front of the door. After a while, he heard his father's tired voice: "I'm here, come in."
Ye Changquan opened the door and saw his father, dressed in military uniform, sitting at the table with an open photo album in front of him.
Ye Changquan said: "Dad, I heard Qingya say that you haven't rested since last night?"
Mr. Ye sighed and closed the photo album: "I can't sleep. I always feel that your brother will come back. By the way, why are you back? Why didn't you go to Juzhou?"
Ye Changquan told Lin Sijin and Xu Chunliang about escorting Ye Changyuan's body back to Beijing.
Mr. Ye nodded, and Ye Changquan concluded at this moment that deep down in his heart, his father was extremely eager to see his eldest brother for the last time, and his sister-in-law's decision was undoubtedly the right one.
Ye Laodao: "Is the funeral home ready?"
Ye Changquan said: "The arrangements have been made. Please take a look at the location of the mourning hall..."
Ye Laodao: "It doesn't need to be too grand at home, and it can't be too simple. Your eldest brother died in the line of duty. There should be a clear attitude in the organization. Tan Xinmin, who is in charge of civil affairs, will preside over the memorial service."
Ye Changquan said: "Okay, I understand." What his father said meant that his eldest brother's funeral would be formally handled and presided over by the head of civil affairs, not the head of the Disaster Reduction Committee, which proved that his father had some influence on the work arrangements of the Disaster Reduction Committee.
view.
Mr. Ye's phone rang. He glanced at the phone and said to Ye Changquan: "From now on, you will answer all my calls."
Xu Chunliang's cell phone rang. It was Secretary Zhou's call. Secretary Zhou had already learned about Ye Changyuan's death in the line of duty. As Ye Changyuan's former partner and friend for many years, he could not remain indifferent.
After getting Lin Sijin's approval, Xu Chunliang told Secretary Zhou about the situation, and Secretary Zhou said that he would go to the capital with his wife immediately.
Xu Chunliang hung up the phone and asked Lin Sijin: "Godmother, what do you think about my godfather's funeral?"
Lin Sijin said: "According to common sense, Ye Changquan should be the one to come forward. Your father and I only have one daughter, and you are our only godson, so I plan to let you and Ye Changquan host it together."
Xu Chunliang was startled. Although he had considered such a possibility, the Ye family was not an ordinary family after all. The class they interacted with was either rich or noble.
Lin Sijin said: "Ye Changquan is a member of the system after all. He has many scruples about many things. Qingya and I are both women. We don't have much say in this kind of situation. An adopted son is the same as a son. I want to be your father."
Send him off in a glorious way."
Xu Chunliang nodded and said: "Godmother, I understand." Lin Sijin should have considered the real relationship between her and the Ye family. She needed someone who could represent herself and speak for herself to deal with the problem.
Xu Chunliang told his grandfather about this. Xu Changshan felt sad when he heard about it. He said that he would go to attend Ye Changyuan's funeral. Not only would he go there himself, but he would also let all his children go there together.
There was an endless stream of people coming to Ye's house to express condolences, and the top leader of the Disaster Reduction Committee also arrived. They wanted to express comfort and apology to Mr. Ye in person, but Mr. Ye stayed in the room on the grounds of being unwell, and all reception was left to outsiders.
Ye Changquan.
Mr. Ye does not need comfort and will not accept anyone's apology. He only knows that his son will never come back.
Qiao Rulong came to the Ye family this time with the intention of asking for directions. He learned from his grandfather that the Ye family was likely to charge Ye Changyuan's account to the Disaster Reduction Committee to the Qiao family. Qiao Rulong was also quite concerned about the current situation of the two families.
have no choice.
I remember someone said that most enemies became friends. Although Qiao Rulong and Ye Qingya have divorced, he does not want Qiao Ye's family to turn against each other because of misunderstanding.
Qiao Rulong came to Ye's house and saw the mourning hall that had been decorated and the wreaths and baskets placed on both sides. He first browsed the individual units represented, the Development and Reform Commission, the Disaster Reduction Committee... Many important departments sent wreaths immediately.
Even Huatou, where he works, sent flower baskets.
This shows that Mr. Ye still has considerable influence.
There were not many people on site to help. This was just the beginning, and the next few days would be the time to verify the Ye family’s circle of friends.
Qiao Rulong also brought a flower basket. At this time, Ye Qingya, who was dressed in black, came to receive him. In the funerals of his class, there was neither mourning nor kneeling. Qiao Rulong took the initiative to reach out to Ye Qingya: "Qingya, my condolences.
!”
Ye Qingya shook hands with him and then quickly let go.
Qiao Rulong could feel her avoidance and resistance to him. Looking at Ye Qingya's pale and pretty face, he sighed and said, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen. If you need my help, just ask me."
Ye Qingya replied to him with three simple and indifferent words: "No need."
Qiao Rulong nodded and walked towards Ye Changquan. He shook hands with Ye Changquan again: "Uncle Ye, my grandfather was very sad when he heard the news. He wanted to come over to accompany Mr. Ye as soon as possible, but the doctor refused to let him come.
."
Ye Changquan said: "It's important for Mr. Qiao to take care of himself. Rulong, go kowtow."
Qiao Rulong was startled. He had never thought of kowtowing to Ye Changyuan, but Ye Changquan's suggestion was not unreasonable. After all, he was once Ye Changyuan's son-in-law. As a former son-in-law, it would be unreasonable for him to kowtow to his former father-in-law.
That makes sense.
At this time, Lin Sijin and Xu Chunliang arrived. Ye Changquan ignored Qiao Rulong and hurriedly greeted them: "Sister-in-law, you are back."
Lin Sijin nodded. She and Xu Chunliang had already placed Ye Changyuan's body in the funeral parlor.
Lin Sijin came to her daughter whose eyes were swollen from crying, and the mother and daughter hugged each other tightly.
Xu Chunliang passed by Qiao Rulong and came to the mourning hall. He kowtowed three times to Ye Changyuan's portrait, then lit incense and burned paper.
Qiao Rulong had originally planned to kowtow to Ye Changyuan, but when he saw Xu Chunliang coming, he gave up the idea. In fact, he did not hate Xu Chunliang. Xu Chunliang had helped him not long ago. If Xu Chunliang hadn't taken action, Qi Shuang and his son might have
Something unexpected has happened.
Qiao Rulong decided to leave because he felt that he was a redundant person now. From Ye Qingya to Ye Changyuan, everyone present showed rejection to him.
It seems that grandpa was right, the Ye family blamed him for Ye Changyuan's death.
When Qiao Rulong left, he met Wang Zhengdao and Wang Jiancheng and his son coming together.
Because of the transfer of Jishi Medical Investment Co., Ltd., there was some unpleasantness between Wang Jiancheng and Qiao Rulong. Wang Jiancheng still has not had time to sell his 10% share, but Qiao Rulong has escaped unscathed.
Although he had a grudge in his heart, he still seemed very enthusiastic on the surface. Wang Jiancheng called him Rulong Ge.
Qiao Rulong also greeted Wang Zhengdao: "Uncle Wang, you are here too."
