Zhang Xingming suddenly felt that the world was very strange, we watched it, but we couldn't confirm its truth, and it existed there, moving forward silently.

Like the eldest grandfather, he struggled with his young brother in the troubled times, pulled his younger brother into an adult to build a house for him and marry a wife, and he died alone, silently ending his life without anyone knowing his greatness. Too much greatness is buried in the ordinary.

Like the barefoot doctor who operated on his grandmother, running around the mountains and fields, it was basically a volunteer, using that poor medical knowledge to save the lives of his neighbors as much as possible, but in the end no one remembered them, not even recorded.

In fact, they are even greater and brighter than those who have been remembered for eternity. In fact, those so-called great people are no more, no less, but without these ordinary people, the world would no longer exist.

……

It was already evening when the family returned to Yongfeng, and the fiery red sunset covered the sky.

When everyone returned to the yard, Grandma had already slept. She didn't have much energy for a day. My mother said that she would change the room in the morning, but she didn't say anything, anyway, she went back to the house silently and lay down.

Dinner was made by the aunt and the second aunt and the fourth aunt, and as soon as Zhang Xingming came back, there were a large number of people in the house, and everyone was used to it, but it was troublesome to cook. After eating, everyone dispersed, and went back to their respective homes, joy and mourning only the sorrow of loss and no sadness, but after all, it was also a short mouthful, and there was no interest in talking.

Several assistants went to the fourth floor to occupy the large room, pulled the telephone and installed a fax and security copier, and Zhang Xingming had to stay at home for a week, and during this period, communication and work could not be interrupted.

The fax machine was set up and I dialed a few phone calls, and after a while I began to squeak and spit out documents. The faxes of this period were all heat-sensitive, and it was necessary to make another copy immediately before it could be saved, which was a bit troublesome.

The elder brother and Mao Jun and Xiao Wu of the fourth uncle's family thought it was amazing, and then felt that these four young ladies were also beautiful, so they became volunteer employees here to learn "advanced scientific knowledge." ”

Yadan has now become a delicate beautiful girl, seventeen years old is the age of the first spit fragrance, only in front of Zhang Xingming did he recover some of the spirit of selling tea eggs back then, occasionally showing naughty but serious eyes. She received Zhang Xingming in a unique way: she invited Zhang Xingming to eat the tea eggs she boiled herself, and she was very happy to watch Zhang Xingming eat them one by one.

"Can you keep up with your studies now?" Zhang Xingming drank some tea and sent egg yolks down.

Yadan's ten tender fingers were a little embarrassed to twist together, and she looked up and said, "Sister Xiaofei studies well." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "Then what are you going to do after high school?"

Yadan said while playing with her fingers, "Godmother said to let me go to college." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "What do you want to do with your own thoughts?"

Yadan tilted her head and shook her body and said, "I don't want to go to school anymore." I want to open a toy store, wind chimes, puppets, nice cartoon books, and pens. There are a variety of toys, stickers, music in the shop, and guests can sit inside and drink coffee. ”

Zhang Xingming asked, "Where do you want to open it?"

The girl said, "Is it okay? anywhere, I really don't like to go to school." ”

Zhang Xingming said: "You are not stupid, the essence of going to school is not to go to school itself, but to enjoy the process, life must always experience as much as possible to experience more to be full, and not regret it in the future." There is no contradiction between going to college and opening a store, just open it next to the university, and you can usually stay in the store except for classes. ”

The girl tilted her head and thought about it, and said with a mischievous smile: "What about you, you didn't read nou much in junior high school, you didn't even have a shadow in high school, and you still have the face to persuade me here." ”

Zhang Xingming also smiled and said, "I can't help it, there are so many things to do." In fact, everyone has fantasies and dreams, but few people can realize them in real reality. So, while you don't have to bear any burdens, try to make your life as happy as possible. ”

Yadan shook her legs tremblingly and said, "Okay, I'll ask Sister Xiaofei and take the exam with her." My shop is not allowed to lie to me, to lie to me that I am a puppy. ”

Zhang Xingming said: "Okay, you went to college and opened it for you." Maybe I'll come back to college in the future, haha, I was definitely the student who was the most headache for teachers at that time, and it's interesting to think about. ”

The girl asked, "Why?"

Zhang Xingming said: "Because I don't know anything, I didn't study much in junior high school, and I didn't go to high school for a day, do you think I can understand what the teacher says?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, grunted and laughed, and said, "If you want to read it, you will want to read it, and then you can study in the same school with us." ”

……

Zhang Xingming stayed at home for six days and didn't go anywhere, talking to his grandmother, chatting with the little two girls, and dealing with documents during the day. In the past six days, only Secretary Li of the city and Secretary Tian of the Development Zone came to sit for a while, and the rest of Zhang Xingming were all pushed away, and they should be taken as a holiday for themselves to rest.

The news of coming back is naturally unconcealable, and the people who should know it before the plane landed in the capital and the provincial capital already know it, but this time it is the funeral of the old man, and it is impossible for these bigwigs to come to attend, so they should not know for the time being. Anyway, everyone is back, and they can still run away? The notice of going to Beijing to attend the meeting was silently transmitted.

There are also things in the province, anyway, when I came back, I just went to the new area to look around and look at the progress to find problems. You can't avoid having a discussion with a few bigwigs, even if it's just a matter of sitting and chatting for a while. It's a matter of attitude.

Dad's job is also about to be transferred, go to the city federation of trade unions, Zhang Xingming has no opinion, it is no longer appropriate for my father's identity to stay in Beigang.

The seventh day of my grandfather's burial is the first seven days of northern funeral customs. In the northern customs, more attention is paid to the first seven and three seven, the first seven are sacrificed by the son, and the third seven are sacrificed by the daughter's filial piety. Then there are Wuqi and Qiqi, Wuqi is worshiped by the grandchildren's surname, and Qiqi is a full sacrifice, which is responsible for the children and grandchildren.

In ancient times, people believed that people had three souls and seven souls, and seven seven was one and one soul, and then three years of filial piety, and one soul a year to ensure the safe reincarnation of the deceased. But modern people no longer have these exquisiteness and awareness, and it is just a conventional act of sacrifice and mourning.

After the sacrifice, Zhang Xingming said to his uncle: "I'm leaving tomorrow, uncle at home, you have to worry more." There will be a road connecting the county seat in the new district under construction, and you have points in your heart, which can be regarded as an opportunity, you should think about it more. ”

Uncle nodded and asked, "When will you come back?"

Zhang Xingming said: "It's hard to say, many things are not stable now, and the time cannot be determined." ”

Uncle said: "It's nothing, you're busy, you're busy, how old are you, we're not old yet." It's okay to leave home and make phone calls. ”
