Li Rui waved his hand and said: "Don't mention the money, a few days ago, my eldest brother gave me a pocket money, five million yuan, I was going to use it to find him an elegant and secluded suburban house for treatment and recuperation, who knew that he died suddenly, and now this money is just used for burial matters." ”

Huang Zhishan frowned and said: "How can that be? Xiao Rui, that money is the pocket money that my father gave you, you can just spend it, as for his funeral expenses, it should all be borne by our children, how can we spend your money?"

Li Rui smiled bitterly: "Why can't you spend my money? My money is also given by Ling Zun, besides, I am his brother-in-law, shouldn't I spend some money for him? Speaking of which, the circles under my eyes turned red again.

When the Huang Zhishan brothers heard this, they didn't say anything more.

Li Rui said: "Tomorrow morning, after the farewell ceremony of the body, my eldest brother's body will enter the cremation procedure, you two are waiting for the ashes here in the funeral home, and I will rush to Jingnan first to settle the matter of the cemetery." Huang Zhishan said: "Let Ning Ning go with you, right?" Li Rui shook his head and said: "No, I can do it alone, but Ning has been working hard for the past two days, so let her stay in Qingyang and rest." ”

Huang Zhihai sighed with emotion: "I am easily unconvinced, I have seen Xiao Rui's words and deeds in the past two days, I am completely convinced, I am really affectionate, gentle, kind, considerate and meticulous, and I am dedicated to the sake of others!

Huang Zhishan also sighed: "It's a pity that Ning Ning is already married, if not, I will definitely marry her to Xiao Rui." ”

Li Rui heard the praise of the two brothers, although he felt that the two were falsely praised, but he couldn't help but be complacent in his heart, and was busy humbling a few words.

Coming out of the funeral home, Li Rui took a taxi to Qingyang Hotel to report tomorrow's schedule to the boss Song Chaoyang.

Song Chaoyang rushed back to Qingyang from Beijing at noon today, and after returning to greet Huang Zhishan and others, he spent the afternoon and evening at the municipal party committee dealing with the backlog of documents at hand, and waited until tomorrow morning, he had to go to attend the farewell ceremony of Huang Xinghua's body, and then take the bullet train back to Beijing to accompany the bed, and he was also very busy.

After Li Rui saw him, he told him about going to the provincial capital to buy a cemetery tomorrow afternoon.

After hearing this, Song Chaoyang said: "There is a consultation window at the entrance of Beigangzi Cemetery, you can go there to inquire." I guess the burial was not a problem in the past, it was a big deal to give more money, and now there is anything that money can't solve?"

Li Rui heard him mention the money and asked: "Boss, after Mr. Sun is hospitalized, the cost of chemotherapy and ordinary treatment will definitely be a lot of expenses, do you have enough money over there? ”

Song Chaoyang shook his head and said: "Breast cancer surgery is not a major surgery, and it doesn't cost much to get it all down, I still have enough, don't worry, even if it's really not enough, I will tell you." ”

Sun Shuqin** The excision operation was very successful, and she had to recuperate for a few days after the operation, and when her body function stabilized, she would start the first chemotherapy treatment, and then once a month for half a year, to see the final chemotherapy results, and then see if she needed to continue chemotherapy. The cure rate of early-stage breast cancer is very gratifying, as high as 90 percent, but she has reached the middle stage, and she has metastasized to the axillary lymph nodes, and the cure prospect is not very clear, only 50 percent cure rate.

Song Chaoyang and Sun Shuqin are very worried about this, especially Sun Shuqin, according to Song Chaoyang, Sun Shuqin's temperament has changed greatly in the past two days, becoming manic, losing her temper at every turn, not sleeping all night long, either crying or being stupid, and only sleeping for a while during the day, and the state is very bad. The doctors and nurses advised her to maintain a good attitude in order to be conducive to treatment, but she would not listen to her anyway.

After hearing this, Li Rui said: "After Huang Lao's funeral, I will go to Beijing to see Teacher Sun and persuade her, she should listen to me more, after all, she is a person who cares about face, how can she listen to persuasion in front of me." ”

Song Chaoyang said: "If you have this heart, it's already very good, and this matter is not in a hurry, forget it this week, and when you have time in the future, you can go to see her with me." After the funeral of Huang Lao, it is estimated that the children of the Huang family will also follow Huang Lao's last wish and continue the career of Qingyang Investment, and your work focus should continue to be on it, and strive to promote the early investment of the Huang family. ”

Li Rui agreed, and the master and servant chatted a few more words, and seeing that the time was not early, they said good night to each other.

The next day, that is, on Saturday morning, Huang Xinghua's body farewell ceremony was held in the largest mourning hall in the Qingyang City Funeral Parlor, some national leaders sent wreaths and elegiac couplets, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, director of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, the national ambassador to Malaysia, the provincial party committee and the provincial CPPCC and other major leaders, the World Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce and other organizations, the Malaysian Chinese Chamber of Commerce, guests from all walks of life, members of the municipal party committee attended the farewell ceremony.

On the projection screen, Huang Xinghua's photos before his death flashed one by one: graduation photos of the University of Nottingham in Malaysia, work photos on the wharf freighter, wedding photos with the daughter of the president of the Malaysian Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce, group photos before the three major meetings of the Zhi Gong Party, and group photos of the meeting with national leaders...... Everything was so alive, it was like it had just happened. Many of the people present shed tears of grief when they saw these photos.

The vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) delivered a eulogy at the memorial service, saying: "Throughout his life, Huang Xinghua has always loved China and this hot land that raised him with great compassion and kindness. In more than half a century, he devoted himself to national construction and the great cause of reform and opening up, and made outstanding contributions to the construction and development of New China, Sino-Maldivian friendship, and Sino-Maldivian cultural and educational exchanges and cooperation, and won the love and respect of the Chinese and Malaysian peoples, and he deserves to be called one of the greatest overseas Chinese since the founding of New China......

When Huang Zhishan, Huang Weining and other descendants of the Huang family heard this conclusion, they all shed tears of excitement and sadness.

After the ceremony, Huang Zhishan led his brothers and nephews to bid farewell to leaders at all levels and guests from all walks of life.

Huang Weining quietly found Li Rui and expressed a small appeal.

"What? You want to go to Jingnan with me and buy a cemetery?"

After Li Rui heard Huang Weining's appeal, he cried out in surprise.

Huang Weining raised his eyebrows and said, "What, can't you?" Li Rui nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, of course, but there is no need, I will finish this kind of trivial matter alone, and you will only accompany you throughout the whole process, and you can't do anything." You might as well stay in Qingyang......" Huang Weining said: "I don't have anything to do if I stay in Qingyang, it's better to go with you and choose a cemetery for my grandfather, which can be regarded as my last filial piety to him." Li Rui heard what she said, so he no longer refused, and said, "Okay, then let's go to Jingnan together." You wait for me to get off, I'll go home and pick up the car, and then I'll pick you up. ”

Buying a cemetery for Huang Xinghua is a private matter, so Li Rui is not easy to find a car with the municipal party committee, so he simply drives his own car, which is also justified.

After the two made an appointment, Li Rui took a taxi back home, drove the BMW X5, went back to the funeral home to pick up Huang Weining, took the highway, all the way south, and drove to Jingnan.

After driving into the highway for almost five kilometers, Huang Weining opened his lips and said: "My father told me last night about my grandfather's love history that I had never mentioned to anyone, and I knew the reason why he was buried in Jingnan. Li Rui said: "It doesn't matter what kind of woman Su Yun is, the feeling of the beginning of the relationship is the most important." Huang Weining shook his head slowly and said, "No, I must find out about Su Yun, because I seem to have just discovered that I don't know much about my grandfather...... Even if I can't know all about Su Yun, I must at least see what she looks like. ”

Li Rui said: "The photo of her old age, your grandfather's relics should be in it, according to the photo, she should have been very delicate when she was young, and it is appropriate to describe it as a small jasper." There was something in my heart that I didn't dare to say, "She is not as beautiful as you!" The reason why I didn't dare to say it was because Huang Weining was cold, cold and noble, this type of woman, before she was very familiar with her, it was not easy to say this kind of slightly presumptuous words, if she was replaced by Jiang Meixian, Li Rui would definitely not want to say it like this.

Huang Weining said: "Little jasper, then it shouldn't be the kind of dazzling beauty, right?" Li Rui nodded and said: "That's right, so it can be inferred that your grandfather is trapped by the love network, not by beauty." I think that first love should be the most wonderful experience in his life, and it can even be said that it is not good, he is now dead, it is not a relief and a new life, at least he can meet Su Yun under Jiuquan. Huang Weining sighed and said in a quiet tone: "Is there really such a feeling in the world that can make people reminisce about more than 70 years of love?"

Li Rui wants to say, you don't understand, your grandfather is not a simple love for Su Yun, but also mixed with a trace of depression that can't eat grapes, for men, a woman who can't get it is always the best, this feeling can be reflected in the first love of a thousand percent, no matter how good a man you are, you can't escape the confusion of this kind of mind, but you just thought so, and didn't say it, so as not to damage Huang Xinghua's image in her mind.

On the next journey, Huang Weining was always thinking about it, and Li Rui didn't want her to talk, so he drove intently. Traveled all the way and arrived at the Beigangzi Cemetery in the northern suburbs of Jingnan, the provincial capital, before noon.
