I held my grandmother's hand a little sluggish, and I couldn't help asking, "Grandma, will you be haunted in your heart?"

Grandma didn't speak, but continued to walk slowly, and only after a while did she say, "If you talk about love, your heart is not happy after all." But in that era, Qingyang you didn't experience, you can't imagine how difficult it was. Maybe a careless person, a family, a family, will suffer. If you don't say anything about your own sin, if the ingredients are not good, your children and grandchildren will suffer with you. He is the pillar of the Zhao family, so it is understandable to do so. ”

I nodded, knowing a little in my heart that my grandmother was sent to the countryside because of the bad ingredients, and my aunt and mother were all sent to the countryside, and I didn't read much. The aunt stayed in Qixia Village all her life, and the mother later came to the town and married her father. If they were still in Yangzhou at the time, maybe they would have a good future. I sighed lightly: "Yes, the Zhao family only has a trace of blood, it is indeed not easy. ”

Grandma froze for a moment and did not speak. I could feel the contradiction in my grandmother's heart. She can understand Zhao Siheng's behavior, but emotionally, she may not be able to accept it. Is this the difference between a man's responsibility and a woman's feelings? Or is there something else hidden? I just feel that every step of my grandmother is extremely heavy. Grandma sighed softly: "If you come once, you will miss one time." Qingyang, if your grandmother is not there in the future, you remember to come and worship for your grandmother. ”

"Hmm. "I responded, but there was a special strangeness in my heart. She is me, I am her, I worship her, what will it be like? Thinking of this, my heart is still a little nervous.

Rounded to the southwest, there is a flat area outside the wall, and it seems that a building is going to be built not far away, and a lot of foundations have been laid. As far as the eye could see, there was not a single grave. Grandma's voice trembled slightly: "Where is my aunt's grave?"

I looked around, and my heart was also sudden, and I said to my grandmother, "Is there anyone else in the Zhao family's grave?" ”

Grandma's steps trembled quickly, and while walking towards the gate of the Zhao family cemetery, she said: "After liberation, there will be no tomb keepers." The Zhao family has several relatives of the side branches who live in this vicinity, even if they are guarding the tomb. Later, the Zhao family developed again, rebuilt the tomb, and hired someone to watch it. ”

Hearing that my grandmother seemed familiar with the situation, I couldn't help but ask, "Do you come every year?"

Grandma nodded: "I come to see my aunt every year and talk to her." But I'll pick some light days. Qingming Festival sweep, Du Ruo will come. "I suddenly realized that since my grandmother has become Qiao Yuan's daughter, the affairs of the Du family will be fulfilled by Qinglian's grandmother, that is, Du Ruolai.

After a while, my grandmother and I arrived at the north side of the wall, which was the entrance to the Zhao family cemetery, and there was an office with a clear window at the door, I walked up and knocked on the door, and after a while, a man in his thirties came out, looked at me and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

I pointed to the southwest corner and asked, "There used to be a grave outside the wall, but why is it gone?" Do you know what happened?"

The man looked in the direction of my finger and said, "You mean that there is a grave named Du Heng buried?"

My grandmother and I looked at each other, and there was some surprise in my eyes: "Yes." ”

The man smiled at us and said, "Last fall, land was requisitioned to build factories here, and demolition was going on everywhere. At the end of the year, Mr. Zhao came and said that it was too chaotic outside, so he rebuilt the wall and enclosed Du Heng's tomb into the wall of the cemetery. ”

I was speechless in shock, and asked in a daze, "Mr. Zhao?"

"Yes. The man looked at the white chrysanthemum in my hand and raised his hand: "If you want to go to worship, please come here." "Lead the way ahead. I helped my grandmother to follow him, but my heart was full of shock. Grandma was even more surprised, and she couldn't walk steadily.

Soon they reached the southwest corner of the cemetery, and the man said, "This is it." Everything was as it was, and it didn't move. Just built the wall. After the man finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving only me and my grandmother, standing there, with a thousand feelings in my heart.

All of this, for me, is both the strangeness of this life and the familiarity of the past life. Zhao Shinan's tomb, still standing there, after more than 70 years of wind and rain, the humble stele has long since ceased to exist, today's stele, white marble material, gold font, is very magnificent. The lower corner of the stele is engraved with the name of the person who erected the stele, Zhao Xinru, Zhao Xinwei, Zhao Xinjian.

Seeing Zhao Shinan's tomb, all the past events, "boom" surged into my heart, I couldn't help but touch Zhao Shinan's tombstone, as if there were thousands of needles piercing my heart. Heather, I'm coming. Do you still recognize me?

Grandma sighed softly not far away: "Qingyang, I found it, my aunt's tomb is here." I was so busy coming back to my senses that I didn't care about stopping in front of Zhao Shinan's tomb for long, and walked quickly to Du Heng's tomb. Seeing Du Heng's still simple tomb, the grass on the tomb was desolate, and I put Bai Ju on it. But I don't know what it should be like in my heart.

Grandma's hand rubbed on Du Heng's tombstone, and she took out a handkerchief from her arms and carefully wiped the dust and filth on it until it was clean. and he plucked the dry grass from the graves. Then he sat quietly beside the grave and stared for a long time. I don't want to disturb my grandmother, maybe she still has something to say to Du Heng.

I turned around and walked east, turned around, saw Zhao Siheng's tomb, and couldn't help but stop. Silently watched for a while.

Then he went to Zhao Shinan's tomb, looked carefully, and was stunned. Behind the right side of Zhao Shinan's tomb, there is a small tomb, and the name of the tomb owner is only a simple word "Wang". In the old days, women also had only one surname after death. But the person who erected the monument told me who she was. Because the person who erected the monument was her son, Zhao Siheng. Then she is Poria. Until today, I didn't know her surname was Wang. After her death, as she did in her lifetime, she stood small and humble behind Zhao Shinan.

My grandmother also walked behind me at some point, looked at it carefully, and said with some surprise: "I thought they would bury her and Zhao Shinan together." After all, after liberation, there was no such thing as a concubine. "Grandma is not a member of the Zhao family, so naturally she will not enter the Zhao family's cemetery. So she didn't know about the burial of Zhao Shinan and Poria Cocos.

After liberation, there was no longer the title of concubine, and the woman turned over, and Poria should be the justifiable Mrs. Zhao Shinan, and she should also be buried together. It's just that she didn't.

At that moment, I didn't know what kind of mood I was feeling, it was complicated, and everyone, it made my heart shake. After a long time, my grandmother sighed, "Let's go." ”

I hesitated, looked to the east and asked my grandmother, "I saw Zhao Siheng's tomb over there just now, can you go and see it?"

Grandma raised her eyes and looked at the east, her eyes were very distant, and after a long time, she said, "No, I won't go." After saying that, I walked towards the entrance of the cemetery, and I hurriedly helped me up.

sent my grandmother home from the Zhao family cemetery, and my grandmother was silent all the way. When I got home, I helped my grandmother cook the rice and prepared to go back to Nanjing. My grandmother suddenly called out to me: "Qingyang." ”

I turned my head, and my grandmother stood up and took out a small box from the cupboard, which was wrapped in several layers of cloth. Grandma slowly opened it, inside was a verdant bracelet, grandma handed me the box and said: "This bracelet was left to me by my aunt, there is only one, I have been thinking, should I give it to you, or should it be given to the Qingyi family." But now it seems that you need it more. ”

Seeing that I was stunned, my grandmother stuffed the box into my hand: "I know that the Zhao family is in trouble again, and I can't help with Cheng Yuejin's affairs, this bracelet can also be sold for some money to save the emergency." ”

"Don't. I hurriedly pushed the bracelet back into my grandmother's hand, "This is left by Du Heng for you, you keep it." Besides, the Zhao family lacks a lot of funds, and the bracelet can't solve any problems. ”

Grandma shook her head: "I'm all buried in the soil to my neck, whether it's bracelets or money, what's the use of me." This bracelet, even if it is a drop in the bucket, is also a little bit of my heart. The people of the Zhao family are still affectionate and righteous. Saying that, he sighed lightly, "If my aunt is still here, I will definitely take out the bracelet without hesitation." ”

Speaking of Du Heng, my heart chuckled. Yes, whether it is Du Heng or me, how can I be stingy with Zhao Shinan or Zhao Yijing? I didn't shirk it anymore and accepted my grandmother's bracelet.

Cheng Yuejin of the Republic of China has no whereabouts, and the new Cheng Yuejin is still conducting the final experiment in Academician He's laboratory, and the silk Zhiheng of Nanjing can no longer hold on. The bank has given an ultimatum, and Silk Zhiheng must make a final decision and cannot delay it any longer.

Zhao Xinru convened a general meeting of shareholders, and although Xiao Bin, Director Wu and others advocated filing for bankruptcy, the majority of shareholders agreed to be merged. The minority obeys the majority, and Silk Zhiheng will not be able to break free from the fate of being acquired by the Silk Road. At that shareholders' meeting, Yao Qinglian did not attend and was treated as an abstention. No one knows where she went.

After the shareholders' meeting ended that day, Zhao Xinru and Xiao Bin sat in the conference room without moving. Looking at the familiar conference room, the familiar building, about to become someone else's seat, not to mention them, my heart is cramping.

After a long time, Zhao Xinru opened his mouth and said: "Xiao Bin, I and Yijing's shares will be withdrawn, and you will be troubled to run away with these things." A week later, it is necessary to discuss the merger and acquisition with Silk Road, and these matters are best handled before the merger. ”

Xiao Bin was a little unwilling, but he had no choice, his fist smashed on the table, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

I sat there, my vision blurred. The rebuke of the silk Heng, the flying brocade of the silk Heng, and the glory and prosperity of the silk have all become yesterday and past. After several generations of hard work, the Zhao family finally ended up like this.

I don't know how to save it, I don't know how to break the ice, and in the face of the imminent collapse of the silk empire that Zhao Yijing has worked so hard for, I only have the pain of powerlessness. After a long time, I slowly said to Zhao Xinru: "Zhao Dong, I still have an idea. ”
