The phone on the table rang, and Yu Sihai said, clean up and go to Xiamen with me.

After answering the phone, Yuan Jinpeng suddenly cheered up, took out the calf horn comb in the drawer, combed his hair from the bottom up, and patted his cheek again, feeling sober and energetic.

Zhong Zhenpeng was also in the car, it seemed that it was a matter of attracting investment, and the mayor personally went out to attract the phoenix. Sure enough, Yu Sihai looked a little excited after getting on the car, and said, Qiulong Electronics came in, how can we not be in the back of Qingchuan investment next year, billions of dollars! Zhong Zhenpeng said that this project is the mayor's perseverance and perseverance, and finally achieved positive results, for the people of Qingchuan, the mayor's merit is immeasurable! Yu Sihai turned his head and said to Zhong Zhenpeng, Qiulong Electronics' preliminary service and support work must be done well, once there is any problem in the soft environment, you will personally grasp the service of this project! Zhong Zhenpeng said again and again, good, we must do a good job in service! Mayor rest assured! Yu Sihai stopped talking, narrowed his eyes, and began to recharge again. Yuan Jinpeng and Zhong Zhenpeng stopped saying nothing when they saw this, and could only close their eyes and recuperate.

When he was about to arrive at the county seat of Yingchang County, Yu Sihai opened his eyes and said to Yuan Jinpeng: "Ask Guan Chong, where do you arrange for us to eat?" ”

The time was just past eleven o'clock, in addition to Yingchang, to go to Xiamen, you have to pass through two counties under the jurisdiction of Qingchuan, which can be said that the four seas choose to eat here. Eating is a trivial matter, but the leader's casual choice can always reflect his preference.

It's a humble roadside shop, a small four-story building with a large yard at the back. The big yard is like a small farm, with a wooden fence enclosed in a few small squares, with chickens, ducks and geese, and a little farther away is a small pond with some fish temporarily. Next to the pond is a small vegetable patch with seasonal vegetables. Soon after everyone sat down, the dishes came up one after another, stewed goose pieces, braised crucian carp, stir-fried pumpkin ....... Obviously, Guan Chong had already told the store that the goose had been stewed.

Drink soup first, then eat, and everyone does not drink alcohol. Yuan Jinpeng was drinking goose soup when his mobile phone rang, he was worried that it was Ye Yourou's call, so he hurriedly got up and went out. The phone call came from my mother, saying that my grandmother had died suddenly and asked him to go back. Yuan Jinpeng hesitated slightly, and immediately made up his mind to ask Yu Sihai for leave. He has a deep relationship with his grandmother, and no matter how big it is, he has to rush over. Yu Sihai listened to it and said, this is a big deal, let the county magistrate send a car to send you back. Guan Chong said, just let my car send you back, or I will go to Xiamen with the mayor to study and study, maybe let the factory of Qiulong Electronics which downstream industry settle in our Yingchang. Yu Sihai said, you can go away, it's okay to go and see.

Yuan Jinpeng went straight to Ping'an County in a small car, and called Deng Qiong on the way, asking her to take her son Yuan Fang to her grandmother's funeral the day after tomorrow, and when the time came, he contacted the car of the municipal government office to pick them up.

Yuan Jinpeng's uncle's house is on the old street of the county, and before liberation, he was a century-old family in Ping'an County. My grandfather was the only son in the family, and the family business naturally passed on to my grandfather. Although my grandfather liked to read and practiced calligraphy well, he also contracted the vice of gambling. In the thirties of the last century, my grandfather fell into a gambler's dilemma. If you lose, you want to win the book, and if you win, you want to win again. Coincidentally, a group of people in the village took aim at my grandfather's family wealth and teamed up to deal with my grandfather, but unfortunately my grandfather has been kept in the dark. As a result, as a century-old family, the Youjia began to decline. The mountains, acres, shops, and houses were slowly sold out, so that it became a problem to eat at home before the liberation, and my grandfather became a sick seedling in a fit of anger. At this time, my grandmother began to pick up the burden of the family. Not far away, he went to a neighboring county to learn acupuncture, midwifery, fire removal, herb picking and other skills, and slowly became a famous doctor in ten miles and eight townships, and his family's food and clothing were guaranteed. After liberation, my grandfather's family was classified as a "bankrupt landlord" and would not be shot. And those who used "old thousand" means to win the money of their grandfather's family became "bully landlords" because they had too much money and were shot. Later, the government did not allow my grandmother to "practice medicine among the people", and the family suddenly fell into trouble again, and my grandfather also died of illness. At this time, my grandmother once again faced the blow of life with an unimaginable strength of others. The family's adobe house collapsed, so she led her five children to live in the ancestral hall of the village, and earned some pocket money by helping others to be nurses, sewing clothes for others, talking about matchmakers, and raising chickens, and finally barely raised a few children. In the early 80s, my grandmother built a shed in the corner of the old street in the county seat, making noodles, boiling noodles, selling steamed buns and flower rolls, and doing breakfast business. A year later, the early shed was turned into a street-facing storefront. After another three years, my grandmother opened a restaurant with three shops in a row. By the end of the eighties, my grandmother had eight shops and became famous. In the mid-90s, Ping'an County set off a boom in setting up factories, and my grandmother took a bank loan with a mortgage from the store, and set up a bamboo wire drawing factory, and the products quickly entered the Pearl River Delta market. Ping'an people sighed and said that there is an old woman with two guns in Hongyan, and our old lady of the Youjia family in Ping'an County is better than her!

Grandma has a very high prestige in the family, and she is full of words. Even if the family branched out later, for a long time, my grandmother was still the backbone of the family. Now that my grandmother died of illness, how can I not break my liver and intestines!

According to the customs of Ping'an County, the deceased is generally buried on the third day. And there is always some red tape in funerals, so there is no funeral that is not in a hurry. Yuan Jinpeng's grandmother died suddenly of a cerebral hemorrhage -- she was not tortured and was considered a blessed person. The uncles were not prepared, so they became more and more hurried. Yuan Jinpeng came, but he couldn't help much, just stand here and take a look there, the heaviest task is to be on duty and keep watch. Later, my uncle said that according to the custom, he should write a sacrificial text in ancient Chinese and let him write it. He has a real thing to do.

The next day, the director of the office of the Municipal Investment Promotion Bureau came to the condolence site and said that the representative Zhong Zhenpeng came to condole, and Yuan Jinpeng was a little surprised. Yesterday, Guan Chong's driver went to the coffin to burn incense on behalf of Guan Chong, Yuan Jinpeng felt that it was inappropriate, but people sent you over, and it made sense to burn incense when you arrived. This kind of thing, he doesn't want to make a noise, and the pomp and circumstance of the funeral is too big, I'm afraid it's easy to criticize. Grandma was originally a legend in Ping'an County, but when the time came, people said that she borrowed the light of her grandson as an official.

My uncle's family was prosperous, and the funeral scene was very large. The elders of the family stretched their voices and read Yuan Jinpeng's memorial in the local dialect in a low voice, I don't know whether it was written movingly, or read sadly or the atmosphere was exaggerated, and there were bursts of cries from the black and oppressive crowd. Yuan Jinpeng spent most of his time at his grandmother's house when he was a child, thinking of his grandmother's hard work and love, he couldn't help but feel sad and couldn't help choking up and crying. Deng Qiong and Yuan Fang also sobbed when they saw this.

At ten o'clock, the recitation of the sacrificial text was over, the gong sounded, and they must put the coffin into the ground before twelve o'clock at noon. Unexpectedly, eight strong men couldn't lift this black coffin. Yuan Jinpeng felt strange, but he was helpless, he had heard of a similar situation before, but he didn't believe it, he didn't expect to encounter it today. It is said that some of them deliberately "put weight" after death because they did not get the respect of their younger generations during their lifetime; Some are nostalgic for the mortal world and are reluctant to leave for a long time. He believes that his grandmother was not mentally ready to leave before her death, and she has a deep love for this world.

The second uncle invited the respected "fourth uncle" in the clan. The "fourth uncle" had white hair and staggered, came to the coffin, stroked the coffin lid, and said, "Third aunt, I know you don't want to go." But who can't take that step? You have a good family, and the children are also angry, you can go with confidence! The third child is still waiting for you over there. ”

After that, he removed his hand from the coffin lid, supported the bottom of the coffin with his backhand, and said, "Get up!" The three aunts have a good way to go! ”

The "Eight Immortals" who carried the coffin worked together, and it was strange to say that the coffin was lifted up with a "ho".

The road up the mountain was not easy, but fortunately the weather was clear, and we finally arrived at our destination after more than an hour.

When the first spade was covered, Yuan Jinpeng's tears came out of his eyes, the grandmother who buried the eggs in the fire cage for herself, and the grandmother who didn't say a word or scolded when she wetted the bed, and went to wash the quilt alone, gone, forever! If this spade goes down, there will be two worlds that cannot be connected!

Uncle set up a lot of tables and banquets, and Yuan Jinpeng toasted around with his uncle. At this time, he found that there were really many people in the family to run the funeral, and his uncle's family was prosperous, and it was still difficult to handle the funeral. If the people are thin, it is really unimaginable.

After lunch, Yuan Jinpeng, Deng Qiong, and Yuan Fang returned to Qingchuan.

As soon as she sat down at home, Deng Qiong said: "Hey, I heard that a little girl from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection ran away with a letter of resignation. ”

Yuan Jinpeng "chuckled" in his heart, could it be Ye Yourou? Deliberately asked unhurriedly: "I haven't heard about it in the yard, when did it happen?" Who is it? ”

Deng Qiong said: "I just watched it in QQ space. There is a teacher's husband in our grade group who works at the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, and he said that it was the day before yesterday, and he seems to have the surname Ye, a little girl who is not married. ”

"Oh, yes, how can civil servants be as popular as you say, people say they won't do it." Yuan Jinpeng's heart was tumbling, but he said indifferently.

After a while, he seized the opportunity to call Ye Yourou's mobile phone.

"The phone you dialed is turned off", hearing this prompt, he felt like a person who had fallen into the vast sea, slowly and slowly falling into the abyss.
