In the past, Babaoshan in western Beijing was a paradise for the Ming and Qing dynasties of eunuchs to retire and die, and was named because of the abundance of eight kinds of minerals such as red clay, refractory clay, and blue ash. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Babaoshan Cemetery built here is the most famous cemetery in the capital. Especially after the implementation of cremation, it has become the only choice for burial in the capital.

The Babaoshan Cemetery is divided into two areas, one is a revolutionary cemetery dedicated to cadres and celebrities above the county level, and the other is a people's cemetery where ordinary people are buried, and Yuye and Chen Liquan's parents are all buried here.

On April 29, 1977, most of the months have passed since the Qingming Festival. It was just an ordinary day, no one came to visit the grave, and the whole cemetery was quiet.

It can almost be said that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan walked on the mountain path in a situation where they could clearly hear the breeze blowing.

They first went to worship Chen Liquan's parents, and then went to say goodbye to Yuye. The two small tombs were so small and inconspicuous, hidden in a dense mass of tombstones of different shapes, as if they did not want to meet them, they searched for a long time to find them.

can treat the old people in the two tombs, Hong Yanwu's attitude is very pious. The process of the two prayers is exactly the same, first cleaning, then offering, and finally kneeling and worshipping, and the completion is meticulous.

Because Chen Liquan is not good at words, the eulogy for the two tombs was said by Hong Yanwu himself.

He said to Chen Liquan's parents, "Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, I bid farewell to you with Quanzi, we don't know if we can come back next year to visit your grave during Qingming." But I will definitely take care of the spring for you on the way, and I ask you to bless us in the spirit of heaven to return safely. In short, please rest assured, Quanzi will be my brother in the future, as long as I have food, I will not let him starve, as long as I have cover, I will not let him freeze. Whatever I have in the future, Izumi will have a share, and I promise that I will never let him feel alone......"

He also said to Yu Ye, "Yu Ye, if you don't treat me when you are alive, it's not your fault, it's my fault." It's all thanks to the skills you taught me that I lived out a little bit of color in the gray and dark days. I now understand that it is my luck and blessing to have you as a master in this life. I think of you, Izumi also thinks of you, in the future, we will have the fate to be a master and apprentice again, I and Izumi are still sitting in the small courtyard listening to you tell stories, I will fan you, let Izumiko pour you wine......"

When I went down the mountain, it was a little strange that the sparrows all over the hill suddenly chirped.

At this time, when I looked up, there was a clear blue sky overhead, and there were clouds passing through the sky, and this beautiful scene suddenly made people feel a sudden feeling of enlightenment.

Whether it is Hong Yanwu or Chen Liquan, they don't feel much easier......

That night, under the dim and warm light of Hongjiatang's house, Wang Yunlin, Xu Manli and Hong Yanru made a meal of pork and cabbage stuffed dumplings together.

They are following the old etiquette of "getting on the horse dumplings and getting off the horse", and they are sending their feet for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, who will set off tomorrow.

As far as the economic conditions of the Hong family are concerned, this dumpling is no less than a feast today, which makes Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan deeply moved.

However, seeing his mother's tearful appearance while making dumplings, Hong Yanwu was also very reluctant in his heart, and kept persuading each other in his mouth.

"Mom, don't think about it. As the saying goes, 'The lamb kneels and the crow feeds,' and if I don't try to run, I'm not even a beast." Fortunately, although I am gone, the second brother will be able to come back soon, with him, there are still many people to take care of the affairs of the family, and I can rest assured. Don't worry too much about me, I'm an adult, and Izumiko is with me, no matter what happens, our brothers and sons can hold it, you can wait for me to come back at home......"

In this regard, although Wang Yunlin promised to say yes in her mouth, she still couldn't help but feel sour and melancholy in her heart. And in the end, this ostensible strong self-control didn't last long.

Because of the chatter of Lao Bian's house next door, Li Yuhe's singing voice of "Red Lantern" suddenly came out, and when he heard the sentence "The season is not good, the wind and snow come suddenly, my mother must keep the cold and warm in mind", Wang Yunlin, who touched the scene, couldn't control her tears, and had to hand over everything to her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, and went into the house with her mouth covered, and she couldn't come out for a long time.

This scene is really not the right time to sing......

On Saturday, April 30, 1977, the official departure date is today.

Last night, Wang Yunlin and Xu Manli took the trouble to check the outfits of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan over and over again, for fear that they would forget something. Early this morning, the two of them got up early again and made breakfast for them.

Looking at Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan gobbling up, Wang Yunlin was speechless for a long time.

Her son's journey was like a piece of flesh in her heart. The pain never seems to go away. She imagined the thousands of difficulties that his son would encounter in Liaodong, imagined the lonely life of one less son by her side, and thought that it would be May Day one day away, and her son left home at this time......

Thinking about it, my eyes turned red again, and I always felt that I had a lot to say, but I couldn't say it.

Hong Yanru still has to go to school today, she can't go to see her brother, and she won't say anything, so when she left, she just repeatedly told Hong Yanwu a sentence, "You must be good when you go out." In addition, she also took out five yuan and had to hand it over to Hong Yanwu.

Hong Yanwu said no, Hong Yanru was going to cry. Hong Yanwu had no choice but to take the money, and it was not until he saw his sister walk out of the door with her schoolbag on her back that he put the money back in the drawer of her house.

By the time breakfast was over, it was almost time. Hong Yanwu walked to his father's house, wanting to say his final goodbye.

But since he learned that Chen Liquan quit his job, Hong Lucheng has been angry with Hong Yanwu because of this in the past few days. He felt ashamed of Chen Deyuan and his wife, who had passed away, and he didn't want his son to leave home for him. So at this time he was still angry, and only lay on the bed with his face against the wall, and ignored his son who came into the house.

Hong Yanwu stood behind his father for a long time.

Outside, it was the sound of Chen Liquan moving his luggage.

Hong Yanwu had to say, "Dad, I'm leaving......"

But Hong Lucheng's shoulders moved, but he didn't speak.

Hong Yanwu sighed, called "Dad" again, took the initiative to kneel down and kowtow, and finally took a deep look at his father's thin back, and then walked out silently.

Seriously, he was a little disappointed in his heart. Unable to hear his father's last instructions, he really couldn't walk out of the house with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yunlin came out of Hong Lucheng's house after a while, and handed over a hundred yuan to Hong Yanwu, saying that it was his father's intention. This finally soothed Hong Yanwu's mind a little, and he felt that his father was still thinking of him in his heart after all, and he might not be so angry anymore.

But he can't ask for this money, he actually has thousands on him. Therefore, he said that the family should leave more money for his father's illness and medicine, but wanted to refuse.

But Wang Yunlin said, "Take it, the poor family is rich, and the situation of our family is like this, I really don't want to give more." If necessary, I will sell the flat square. ”

Hong Yan had no choice but to take the money.

And sister-in-law Xu Manli followed at this time, took out ten yuan in the same way, and let Hong Yanwu take it. and asked him not to tell his eldest brother.

After Hong Yanwu thanked him, he only begged his sister-in-law to take good care of Wang Yunlin, saying that his mother's health was not good.

Xu Manli asked Hong Yanwu to leave with confidence, saying that she was at home.

At this moment, Hong Yanwu's eldest brother Hong Yanzheng finally came out of the house. Wang Yunlin and Xu Manli both knew that the two brothers had something to say, so they went back to the house.

Hong Yanzheng didn't teach a lesson this time, and when he saw that there was no one around, he quietly took out twenty yuan from his pocket and gave it to Hong Yanwu, asking him to take the flowers on the road, and don't tell his sister-in-law.

Hong Yanwu really didn't expect that this eldest brother, who always looked at him unpleasantly, would behave like this. He took the money and called "big brother", feeling for the first time a kind of warmth from his eldest brother.

At this moment, Chen Liquan had already moved all his luggage to the courtyard, saying that everything was ready, and he was about to go to the station to meet with "Little Baizi", and asked if he could leave now?

When Hong Yanwu heard this, he looked into the house again.

Hong Yanzheng was in a hurry, but he couldn't help urging him, "Let's go, the big husband is home all over the world, walk the world, don't be sluggish, look like a girl." ”

But Hong Yanwu said no, he had to officially kowtow to his mother when he left. After speaking, he reflexively ran into the house, knelt down in front of Wang Yunlin, and said with a slight cry, "Mom, my son is gone." ”

Wang Yunlin sat on the chair and burst into tears, but she couldn't stand up.

She didn't want Hong Yanwu to see that she was so sad before leaving, so she turned her face towards the wall, just waved her hand, and never looked at her son again.

It wasn't until she estimated that Hong Yanwu and they were out of the courtyard that she slowly got up. But when she paced to the basin and wiped her face with a hand towel, she still felt that her legs were a little fluttery.

So she went back to the table of the Eight Immortals and sat down for a while, but she didn't expect to find one hundred and thirty yuan under the tea tray at this time.

At this time, her heart "soared", and she couldn't help shouting "third", picking up the money and chasing out.

But outside the gate of the courtyard, the alley was empty, and there was no shadow of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan for a long time...... (To be continued.) )
