Hearing Zhang Kun's words, Chen Xiaoqiao was stunned, but Chen Xiaoqiao did not refute, but fell silent.

Zhang Kun sighed lightly, lowered his head, and looked at the bank card in his hand, as if in a daze, unable to take his eyes off it, but silently opened his mouth.

"You are a family lover, as you can see from the fact that you were unable to ascend to heaven after you died because you could not return to your roots. However, you are different from the kind of fallen leaves that the older generation said, you don't force yourself to enter the ancestral grave, your request is just to be able to return home, to Hubei, or even to China. ”

"All you want is to be closer to your family. ”

"Am I right?" Zhang Kun looked up at Chen Xiaoqiao in mid-air.

Chen Xiaoqiao was silent for a long time and did not reply, until a long time passed, and then nodded indifferently.

Zhang Kun, who had been staring at him, pursed the corners of his mouth, then lowered his head, looked at the stream that was muddyed by him and continued: "A man who wants to be closer to home even after death, why would a person who loves his family so much leave his family, leave his hometown, or even leave his motherland, and come to this African land thousands of miles away?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Kun raised the bank card in his hand.

The bank card glows faintly in the moonlight.

"Great Wall International Card, a person who loves his family will rarely go far away, let alone go abroad, if there is no special reason, I don't understand, a person who basically will not go abroad, why would apply for a VISA card. ”

"Moreover, the bank card is very new, it was issued in the last six months, maybe two or three months?"

"Also, you obviously paused when you said give me the money just now, were you hesitating?"

"That's why you go abroad, because money, you need money. Zhang Kun seemed to be unusually sure.

When Zhang Kun spoke, Chen Xiaoqiao remained silent, and after Zhang Kun finished speaking, he was still silent.

After a long, long time, Chen Xiaoqiao smiled bitterly and looked up at the bright moon that had risen in the sky.

The moon was round and looked extraordinarily large, and the refreshing moonlight fell on the earth.

I don't know if the moon I saw in my hometown at this time is the same, maybe not, at least the air in the country is not so good, there is more dust than here, and the moon always looks hazy.

After looking at it for a while, Chen Xiaoqiao lowered his head, with a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, and then said in a low voice: "You're right, for money." ”

"My name is Chen Xiaoqiao, born in the 60s, my father used to be a Red Army, he participated in the War of Resistance against Japan, in order to defend the motherland, to drive away the Japanese invaders made efforts, his right leg was blown up in the battle. ”

"When I was born, my family was quite wealthy, so my father sent me to private school when I was a child. ”

"During the next ten years of turmoil, although our family was rated as a kulak, we were lucky not to be persecuted. My father used to say that it was the President who protected us. ”

"Since I was a child, my father taught me to study hard and contribute to the construction of the motherland when I grow up in the future. He often said that only when the motherland is rich and strong can the people live a better life, and it is the duty of every citizen to be born as Chinese and work hard for China's development. ”

"I adore my father, he is a great man, he once drove away the little Japan that invaded our country, and he said that, then it must be right, so I am determined to do the same. ”

"Later, when the turmoil ended, the college entrance examination resumed, and I became the first batch of new college students. ”

"I studied geological surveying at Tsinghua University, and I worked hard, got good grades, and finally graduated with excellent grades. Of those classmates, I was probably the best. ”

"At that time, a supervisor in our department valued me very much, and he said that he could find a way to let me stay in Yanjing and enter the National Geological Survey Center, which would be good for my future development. ”

"But in the end I refused, and there was a saying at that time, I am a brick of the revolution, and I can move it wherever it is needed. At that time, I thought that we can only think about where we are needed, how can we say, where is it better to choose for our own development, such selfish words?"

"Later, after graduation, the school arranged a job, and I obeyed the school's arrangement, returned to my hometown, and became a member of the geological survey team of Beihu Province. ”

"I was very happy because it was really nice to be able to work in my hometown, which was close to home and I could see my parents a lot. You're right, I'm a family lover, and I've been that way ever since. ”

"After joining the Beihu Provincial Geological Survey Team, I worked very hard. ”

"Beihu Province is not a big mining province, and there are not a lot of mineral deposits in the land under our feet, but there will always be some. ”

"I followed the site survey team, went to every corner of Beihu, looking for every possible mineral deposit, our efforts have been rewarded, we have found many, many ore veins, although they are very small, but for the development of the country, it is always a kind of promotion. ”

"And the state also attaches great importance to our discovery, and every time a new mineral deposit is discovered, the state will give us a bonus, well, a large amount of bonus...... Ten dollars a person. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoqiao showed a smile, a bitter and helpless smile.

A mineral deposit, ten yuan, although this is already equivalent to their salary at that time for nearly ten days, but compared to the value of a mineral deposit, it .......

"But no one complained, and neither did I. ”

"According to the law, all the mineral deposits in our land belong to the state, and we, with the state's salary, just find out these mineral deposits for the state, and the state can also pay us bonuses, so we are already very satisfied. ”

"And the most important thing is that our work is really working hard for the construction of the country, and every time we find a new mineral deposit, the country's steps will take a step forward, although that step may be small, but it will really exist after all. ”

"We are glorious and satisfied, and this seems to be the value of our existence. ”

"After working for a few years, I naturally got married and had children, although life is not rich, but I still have no worries about food and clothing, I watched my son grow up day by day, I was always very happy, I felt at that time, if I could live like this for a lifetime, it was really good. ”

"Later, when my father was old, he was left away from me because of the wounds he had left from the war. ”

"However, in the end, my father lay on the hospital bed, and at the last moment before leaving, he grabbed my hand and told me that I must work hard and contribute to the construction of the motherland. ”

"Although he can no longer see the day when the motherland will be strong, he hopes that his grandson, my son, can see it, and it will be good. ”

"What are the predecessors, what are the ancestors? Isn't it just planting trees for future generations to enjoy the shade?"

"What kind of predecessors are those who can't shadow future generations?"
