Chapter 189: Going to the Countryside Again
If it's something else, then there's absolutely nothing to say, but Director Liu doesn't dare to borrow the car, because it's a bus, not his own, and if it's his own, it doesn't matter.
"Don't talk nonsense, today you have to borrow or not borrow, and I don't use it for a day, it may take two days. β
"Foolish, you tell me the truth, is something wrong?"
"Well, I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone. β
"I'm not at ease, I will never tell anyone about this. β
"That's right, Grandpa Hu has passed away, and his wish is to be buried in peace, and I want to fulfill his wish. β
"I see, that's fine, but have you found a good place?
"No, you still don't want to get involved in this kind of thing, after all, you are ......"
Hanpi didn't go on, but everyone knew that Director Liu was not a fool, of course he knew what Hanpi meant, and it was really inappropriate for him to participate in this matter.
"I see, the car is outside, you drive away. β
"Is there enough oil?"
"The gas you just added today, if you didn't run too far, it should be fine. β
"That's enough. β
Hanpi drove away from Director Liu, he didn't go home, but drove directly out of the city, although there were a lot of red armbands along the way, but looking at the car was hiding far away, because the people who had the car were not something they could afford to provoke.
Especially after the start of this movement, those who had cars in the past were basically arrested, and now those who have cars represent their status.
Dougezhuang, Hanpi parked the car at the door of the old branch secretary's house, this midnight three watches, a car into the village, caused a lot of sensation, don't forget, in the countryside there are more watch, in fact, it is the militia patrol.
As soon as Hanpi knocked on the door of the old branch scrivener's house, many people came in from outside, and after seeing that it was Hanpi, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and then withdrew again, and began to circle around the car that Hanpi drove over, this thing is a strange thing.
"Hanpi, why are you here so late?"
"Old branch secretary, I want to ask you to do something. β
"Foolish, look at what you said, just say something. β
"That's the case, an old man in our compound has passed away, his wish is to be buried in the ground, you also know, the city is not prosperous this, I want to ask, can you find a piece of land in your village, and then let the old man enter the soil for peace?"
"That's it?"
"Yes, that's it. Foolish nodded.
"What's wrong with that, we don't have much else here, but a lot on the spot. β
"Isn't it almost the New Year, I'm afraid that the people in the village will think too much, after all, this is ......"
"Hey, what do you think about, it's an old man, not a young man. β
Hanpi didn't finish speaking, so he let the old branch secretary interrupt, this is the case in the countryside, the death of the old man is not a funeral, but a happy event, especially an old man who is dying, if Grandpa Hu is from Dougezhuang, it is estimated that there will be a banquet.
"That's right, it's an old man, but also a martyr's family, and several of the old man's sons and daughters died in the Anti-Japanese War. β
"Foolish, then there is no problem, in this way, I will immediately ask people to find a place, promise to find a good place for the old man, and I will let people dig the grave. β
"Thank you, the old branch secretary, I'll bring someone over tomorrow, and please prepare a good coffin, money is not a problem. After Hanpi finished speaking, he took out a bundle of money from his pocket, a whole thousand yuan, handed it to the old branch secretary and said, "You take this money first, and if it is not enough, tell me again." β
Seeing this money, the old branch secretary showed a wry smile, a thousand yuan to make a coffin, what kind of coffin to make, isn't it a joke, so much money, let alone a coffin, even ten of the best coffins can't be used.
Of course he didn't forget, but he just wanted to use the best for the old man, not to mention spending 1,000, even if it was 10,000, Hanpi would still do it.
"Silly, I don't need so much. β
"Whether it can be used up or not, you can take the money first, and you can't lose the villagers who dig the grave, and when the time comes, you need someone to help you or something, and the rest of the money will be distributed to them." β
"It doesn't take that much. β
"Old branch secretary, don't talk about it, you can do this matter, how much money it will cost, you can also do it yourself, how about you return more and make up for less when the time comes?"
"Okay, that's fine. β
Hanpi didn't stay long, there are still a lot of things at home, first of all, I have to prepare a shroud, and those messy things, it is estimated that he will be busy for half a day.
After Hanpi left, the old branch secretary began to instruct people to find a place, at this time everyone couldn't sleep, and they all began to get busy, killing pigs and sheep, anyway, Hanpi gave a lot of money, and the old branch secretary was ready to treat the old man as a villager.
I don't know how happy I would be if I let Hanpi know that the old branch secretary was going to do this, because then I wouldn't be afraid of what others would say, even if someone came to check, I wouldn't care.
In fact, the old branch secretary understands Hanpi, and he knows that he must be happy to do this.
When Hanpi went back, he knew that the shroud was ready, and he didn't need to do this, and there was some white cloth, which could not be missing, and the person who carried the coffin would have to make a hat at that time.
"Hanpi, how is it?" Grandma Hu looked at Hanpi anxiously, wondering if Hanpi had done it well.
"Don't worry, Grandma Hu, it's been done, and the grave is being held over there. β
"That's good, that's good, that's right, it's naΓ―ve, did you make your family bigger. β
"Uh...... That Grandma Hu should be quite big. β
This Hanpi can't be sure either, because he didn't tell the old branch secretary how big it is, but the old branch secretary has experience in this area, so Hanpi didn't say it.
"No, I don't know how big a grave is, I mean, leave me a place too. β
"Grandma Hu, what are you talking nonsense, you are in good health. β
"I know if it's okay or not, I guess I'll have to trouble you then. β
"Grandma Hu, let's not say this, with your body, it's no problem to live another ten or eight years. β
Of course, he didn't believe what he said, thinking about how old Grandma Hu is, and living for another ten or eight years, it is simply impossible, and Grandma Hu's body is not as good as day by day.
In this era, there are very few people who can live to her age, basically it can be said that there is none, it can be regarded as a long life, even in later generations, her age can be regarded as a high life.
Grandpa Hu's shroud was personally worn by Grandma Hu, and Grandma Hu didn't agree to help her, and it can be seen from here that the feelings of this old couple, saying that there is no love in this era, it is all nonsense, in fact, in this era, there is real love.
