Chapter 50: The Loyal Soul Lives

Secretary Ouyang returned home and called Secretary Sun and Director Liu, as well as Han Laosan, Han Dajiang, Mu Liangen, Mu Sanduo, Zhu Yongnian and other captains and business leaders. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Secretary Ouyang cheered up and said to everyone: "Captains of the brigade, heads of enterprises, today I Ouyang called everyone to come, there is one thing to make clear in front of you, I am dying, I am already a person who has run out of oil, I have to explain the work, I hope you can cooperate." First, after my Ouyang died, Secretary Sun will replace my first secretary, Director Liu is the second secretary, Han Laosan is a great hero of our commune, and he will take over as Director Liu, and he will be Director Han in the future, and the director of the food factory of Diankou Commune; Let them become our successors in the next term, they have culture and knowledge, and they will definitely lead our store well and move towards the bright road; third, Han Dajiang, Mu Sanduo, Zhu Yongnian, and other enterprise leaders, you must conscientiously implement Han Sanjiang's policy and make the cause of the store bigger and stronger! Han Dajiang, you are the leader of the enterprise, I hope you will set an example, bring the enterprise on the right track, and let the store pass as much as possible! I just want you to do a good job of these three points, and when I die, bury my body on the highest hill in the store, and I want to watch the store walk towards the broad road! The day I live a happy life, I will be relieved!" After explaining this, he took their hands one by one, smiling kindly, as if making a final farewell.

After listening to Secretary Ouyang's words, everyone felt very sad in their hearts, grief-stricken, and swallowed hard, but it was not good to cry in front of him, so they had to force a smile.

As soon as he walked out of Secretary Ouyang's door, Han Dajiang cried "wow", he couldn't stop this sadness anymore, he cried so much that he couldn't stop crying!

Mulangen wailed and cried, snatching the heavens and the earth, and was grief-stricken, like a mourner······

Han Laosan was in tears, leaning on the big camphor tree and sobbing non-stop······

Secretary Sun and Director Liu couldn't cry by themselves, they didn't know what to do for a while, they kept sobbing, which suddenly lost their backbone, let them carry the burden, he felt unprecedented pressure and helplessness, hitting them, they were like a child who had lost his parents, he wanted him to be the master of the house, he didn't know what to do, so he had to cry helplessly, hoping that tears could relieve them of that invisible pressure······

Everyone present felt very sad and couldn't help crying, for Secretary Ouyang's departure, they felt very helpless, just like a ship sailing in the sea, losing their helmsman, losing their way, becoming dazed and confused, and endless worries······

Secretary Ouyang saw everyone hiding outside and crying, and he also cried.

The old woman comforted: "Ouyang, what are you crying for? Isn't it just a matter of kicking your legs, and you are reluctant to let everyone go, you see that you have been like a day for decades, you didn't even attend the wedding on the day your daughter got married, and your son was admitted to university, and you don't even know where the school is! Your life has been handed over to the store, and even this old bone has to be buried in the store, and you don't have to worry about the people of the store when you die! What else is there to regret! You can go with peace of mind, don't have regrets, you have no regrets, the most regrettable thing is that you are leaving, and your son and daughter are not around, and they will not send you to the end!

Secretary Ouyang stopped crying and said, "Wife, the most regrettable thing in my life is that I didn't take good care of you and Jian'er, Lan'er, I want to say sorry to you here!"

The old woman replied: "I, Lan Xiuying, have forgiven you a long time ago, your son Ouyang Jian himself has taken the same path as you, I empathize, I won't blame you! It's our Lan'er, Ouyang Lanxin, you didn't attend her wedding, you have been haunted! Disappointed, she can forgive you!"

Secretary Ouyang sighed and replied: "Lan Xiuying, Lan Xiuying, you are my wife, I really wronged you, if we can still be husband and wife in the next life, I will pay you back twice what I owe you! I hope Lan'er understands that it is not easy to be a father of the commune secretary······! After saying this, Secretary Ouyang spread his hands and passed away at the age of fifty-seven.

By the time Ouyang Jian and Ouyang Lanxin came back, Secretary Ouyang had been dead for three days, and Ouyang Jian looked at his father's body and cried and shouted, "Dad, why don't you wait for me to leave? I still have a lot ······to say to you! He cried out with tears streaming down his face.

Ouyang Lanxin knelt in front of her father's body, crying and complaining: "Dad, why don't you tell your daughter!

The sons and daughters all knelt down and shouted, "Grandpa, we have come to see you!

Ouyang Jian also took his wife and children to kowtow to his father, because he was about to be buried, and he could only see the last one.

On the day of the funeral, people from Diankou Commune, Shanxiahu Commune, and surrounding communes who admired him came to participate in his condolences and kowtow to him and burn incense!

The coffin was carried on the road, the people of the store had been standing on both sides of the road for a long time, all the way along with the coffin, all the people in the store were crowded with the road, lined up in a long line, every time they passed in front of the door, someone came out to set off firecrackers, and sent Secretary Ouyang's coffin! A road of ten miles, firecrackers continued, the crying was endless, and the sadness made the people of the store unforgettable.

The people of Diankou buried the loyal bones of Secretary Ouyang on the highest mountain in Diankou, so that he could guard the people of Diankou year after year.

The loyal soul has always been admired, and the old folks are busy with filial piety.

Bow down and do your best to come here, and the mighty spirit will last forever!
