Jia Lei hugged the urn tightly and returned to the dormitory in the family area as Wang Lao's car, and several times someone proposed to send the urn to the martyr's cemetery, but Jia Lei did not agree!

Everyone is afraid of touching the wound on his hand, and it is not easy to grab it, mainly because Wang Lao is not good at everyone, so he asked Jia Lei to take the urn home.

Jia Aiguo's dormitory is in a room on the west side of the third floor of the family area, and when the door is opened, there is a house that Jia Lei has seen countless times in photos.

In a six-square-meter cubicle, a set of double-shelf beds occupies two-thirds of the space, and the tables and beds are stuffed with all kinds of daily necessities and cardboard boxes of all sizes, and the guards who open the doors quickly kick the spittoons used to urinate on the floor under the bed.

With the efforts of the big guys, in less than three minutes, a small offering table was set up, and then the door of the inner room opened, and a woman of twenty-seven or eighteen years old walked out.

"You are Comrade Jia Aiguo's lover, right?" asked Wang Lao.

"No! I'm not!" Zhao Juan hurriedly denied that this was a big man often seen on news broadcasts! Zhao Juan recognized Wang Lao after just saying this sentence, and suddenly his face turned red and he was nervous and speechless, and the people in the factory who accompanied him immediately came up to explain.

"Jia Aiguo, comrade lover, died, this is his neighbor. The director said.

"What about Comrade Jia Aiguo's family?" asked Mr. Wang, and the factory director who followed him recalled the resumes of meritorious personnel that he had specially read yesterday.

Comrade Jia Aiguo is an orphan of an anti-Japanese martyr, and his parents died when he was a child, and his grandmother, who raised him, also passed away. After the factory director finished speaking, Elder Wang's brows furrowed.

"So, isn't there no one to take care of this child, what will happen in the future?" asked Wang Lao,

The house was quiet, and everyone had been busy fighting fires and rescuing the injured for the past two days, and they had not had time to think about the bereavement work for the deceased, after all, the fire had not been completely extinguished. However, under normal circumstances, after giving a pension, it is over after letting the family members take up the post, and there were no family planning in those years, and there were no family members over 20 years old who were not brothers and sisters, and there were almost no only children like Jia Aiguo, and there were very few orphans in the welfare home, in which case the welfare home could accept Jia Lei.

Different from later generations, the current welfare homes are good units, according to the era of the head of the people to receive food stamps, the welfare homes have enough rations and donations and materials from units at all levels, and the days are much better than those of the countryside, and many patriarchal families will quietly put their children at the door of the welfare homes.

However, no matter how good the welfare home is, it can't compare to having his relatives around, and Wang Lao also understands that he wants to make this child live a better life.

"Let's go and check if this child has any other relatives, and if it doesn't work, I'll adopt him, and he will recognize him as my godgrandson. You can't send this fatherless and motherless child to a welfare home!" said Wang Lao.

Jia Aiguo's credit is too great, in addition to saving tens of thousands of people in four factories, he also saved a ship of crude oil and cruise ships in the port. These two things alone are worth 50 million US dollars, which is half of the country's foreign exchange earnings last year, and the state must not treat his descendants badly.

"It is the responsibility of our municipal party committee to raise the orphans of martyrs, how can we trouble you! This is not good! Elder Wang, rest assured, this child will be handed over to me in the future, and I will be an additional son, and anyway, the youngest girl in my family is five years older than him, and she happens to have a companion. Mayor Zhao said that the situation in the capital has been unstable in recent years, and Wang Lao is very busy, and I am afraid that he will not be happy.

"I don't want to go to BJ, I want to stay in SH!" Jia Lei suddenly raised his head and said loudly, the people outside were anxious for him, some were afraid that he would offend Wang Lao, and some were afraid that he would be too ignorant to push this great benefit out.

"That's... Heads... Jia Aiguo's lover is not dead, and he also sent things to the child last year!" Zhao Juan suddenly stumbled.

"Didn't you just say that Jia Aiguo is dead, why is he alive again?" the mayor asked curiously.

Jia Aiguo's lover did not die but divorced him, it is said that his lover is an educated youth, and when he returned to the city, he left his children and divorced him. Jia Aiguo said to the public that his lover had passed away for the sake of the child, and we knew the truth when we lived close to him.

At that time, Jia Aiguo left his hometown to SH when he changed jobs, because he was afraid that someone would say gossip that was not good for the child, and I heard that the child would write one or two letters every year after his mother remarried, but the child's grandfather often sent the child some food to use, I heard that his grandfather was a university professor, and I didn't know how many there were. Zhao Juan said.

At this time, Master Zhou squeezed in and took out a snack box from BJ Daoxiang Village, which contained a lot of photos and letters, and several of the letters were addressed by BJ.

The factory director was relieved to see this, and it was good that his mother was there. Just now, the chief and the mayor scrambled to make a statement, and it stands to reason that he should follow suit, but he has five sons, two daughters, and more than a dozen grandchildren at home, and the family doesn't even have a place to stay, so he can only build a small shed in the yard of his home. There's really no place to live!

As the saying goes, a child with a mother is a treasure, and a child without a mother is a grass! Who doesn't like such a well-behaved child. The factory director said busily.

But who is not a human spirit in the officialdom, this mother can throw this child once and throw it a second time, this child is not particularly important in her heart.

"In this way, it is better to send someone to contact the child's mother first, and by the way, go to Jia Aiguo's hometown to see if there are any other relatives, no matter what the final result is, I recognize this grandson." After Wang Lao finished speaking, he took out a pocket watch from his clothes and put it in Jia Lei's hand.

"This is a confession! I welcome you to stay at Grandpa's house at any time. After speaking, Elder Wang glanced at Mayor Zhao.

"Xiao Zhao, didn't you just say that you want to recognize your godson! Then you have to take good care of this child in the future!" Wang Lao sat back in his chair after speaking, his leg was injured on the battlefield and couldn't squat for too long.

When Mayor Zhao heard this, he hurriedly rummaged through his pockets, but unfortunately he had nothing else in his pocket except money, cigarettes and lighters, but there was a watch on his wrist, and it was not easy to give away a piece of Jia Aiguo's relics, and finally gave him the hero pen he carried.

"After taking something, you will be my godson, and if someone bullies you in the future, you will come directly to your godfather! Remember to study hard in the future, make progress every day, and serve the motherland when you grow up!" Mayor Zhao also shouted a slogan, which was really shouted too much in the past few years, and he shouted it out without paying attention to it.

However, as soon as this oolong came out, the atmosphere at the scene was relaxed, and the sad atmosphere was swept away.

Wang Lao even took a fountain pen and left the address and phone number on the back of an envelope, and stamped it with a small stamp on the keychain at the end.

"Kid take this! Remember to call me, and you can find me when you go to BJ and take him to Zhongnanhai to show the doorman." Wang Lao instructed Jia Lei to say.

Mayor Zhao also left the address and phone number when he saw it, and Wang Lao got up and left when he saw that the time was almost up, and he left too suddenly, and everyone hurriedly retreated to both sides to make way for him.

In the panic, someone knocked down the small thing on the cabinet, and someone kicked the footbasin on the ground and made a loud noise, Wang Lao couldn't help but speak.

"Xiao Zhao, it's a mess here, and there is not even a kitchen where people live, otherwise you will bring the child to your house for a few days today, and wait for the child's relatives to come back." ”

The house is indeed chaotic, with four or five people crammed into a one-meter-wide aisle! In addition, this house is a large house divided into two rooms, and the entire dormitory is only 8 square meters, can it not be messy! Mayor Zhao naturally had no opinion and directly pulled Jia Lei out, but Jia Lei broke free of his hand and pulled Wang Lao's sleeve.

"Godgrandpa, please let me stay, okay, I want to spend more time with my father!" Jia Lei said, pointing to the urn.

"You're too young to live alone. Wang Lao said.

"I can, I'll be in junior high school in the second half of next year, and I'm an adult, so I can take care of myself. Jia Lei said in an affirmative tone.

"It's small and cold here, and no one has cooked for you yet, so it's better to go with your godfather, and when the time comes, you will live in a room by yourself, and there will be delicious food every day, fish and meat, and you can watch cartoons. Mayor Zhao persuaded him.

For children in this era, the temptation of TV is huge, but for Jia Lei, who has seen the Internet later, it is not worth mentioning.

"Mayor's father, I want to keep filial piety and can't eat meat, and it's almost the New Year, I have filial piety and bad luck. After Jia Lei finished speaking, he looked up at Wang Lao again.

"Grandpa Chief, I know you're the biggest here, so let me stay! I want to stay with my dad for a few more days, this may be the last time he will spend with me. Jia Lei said to look at the urn.

"The responsibility of parents is to raise their children, give them wives and children, and those who are children must provide for them in their old age and send them to the grave to burn paper! Do you think what I said is right?" Jia Lei asked.

"That's right!" Wang Lao looked at him and couldn't help but think of his grandson who died more than ten years ago, both of them were the same filial piety.

"Filial piety is a good thing, but what should you do when you eat?" asked Wang Lao.

"I can eat in the cafeteria or go downstairs to my grandmother's house, I am now the head of the household and can pay for food, this is how my dad used to live, and my dad rarely cooked. Jia Lei said reasonably.

After hearing these words, Wang Lao finally believed that he could indeed live alone, but—

"Chinese pay attention to the safety of entering the earth, and the country has prepared a cemetery for Jia Aiguo in the martyrs' cemetery......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jia Lei.

"The first seven, the third seven, the fifth seven, the seventh seven! I promise to bury him before the seventh seven! I just can't bear to let him stay with him for a few more days!" After Jia Lei finished speaking, he walked to the door and lifted the curtain for him, Wang Lao glanced at him and nodded, and left.

Wang Lao glanced back at this special child in the corridor, Jia Lei was not nostalgic for them, and he had already turned back to see Jia Aiguo's portrait!

The chief's grandfather explained that he knew his identity and status, but he didn't have the slightest intention of clinging.

"The heart of a child is sincere!" Wang Lao praised and left.

Jia Lei is not without a heart of clinging, he is just immersed in the grief of his dead father and has no time to think about anything else.

＊＊＊＊

Ps Wang Lao didn't know that in the days to come, every time he encountered difficulties, every time in the dead of night, when Jia Lei was drunk and frustrated countless times, he scolded himself for being a fool countless times!

At the beginning, if he climbed the pole and was led home by Wang Lao, he would be the prince/Dang Hongsan/generation, and that would be a big deal!

But no matter how many times Jia Lei said that he regretted it, if he was asked to do it all over again, he would still refuse Wang Lao and stay with Jia Aiguo to complete the journey. In this way, we can make up for the regrets of our previous lives......

And the days with Jia Aiguo's ashes are the most reassuring time after his rebirth - my heart is my hometown!
