Li Feng took a small brocade box blankly, he even wanted to laugh, his father's life was a life of drunken dreams and death after his own memory, where did this start!? But he certainly couldn't laugh!

At present, there is only one person who can ask, Li Feng took the box and asked: "As far as I know, my father has been working in the Forestry Bureau since joining the army, which has something to do with national security?" ”

The woman's gaze was a little strange, but she quickly restrained her expression and said seriously: "Of course this has a relationship, and it is a big relationship, the Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation, although there has been no danger in recent years, but this is naturally the result of the country's unremitting efforts, but is there a loophole in this?" Is the state spending so much money on maintenance every year? Is the real situation in the Yellow River consistent with the written report? Probably something like this, do many problems require real and real oversight and a different kind of report? ”

"This ...... Seems like it should be. Li Fengjue's self has nothing else to say.

"So, young man, you should be proud of your father, who is a hero of the state!"

Li Feng continued to be at a loss after thinking about his father's state, the old woman shook her head slightly, and left with some regret, and then a man in his forties and fifties stood opposite Li Feng.

He looked at Li Feng's eyes were complicated and calm, he didn't say anything at first, just handed Li Feng a small bag, and when Li Feng didn't know what to do, the man spoke: "Then, this is a part of some of us who have a heart." ”

Hearing this, Li Feng honestly took it, of course, the future favor can only be repaid by himself, and then the man took out a check: "This is the pension and funeral expenses given by the General Administration, more than 10,000 yuan, not too little, take it, don't take it for nothing." ”

The man seemed to be a little self-deprecating and handed over a check, Li Feng temporarily believed that his father was the secret police of the state, so he naturally accepted this check from the state, which was also an honor in some respects.

Then the man left immediately, but he didn't go upstairs, he went directly to the car, Li Feng still looked at the wreath in a daze, and wrote in black and white the names of some departments that ordinary people don't know and will never come into contact with, but in the end, all the money was paid by Director Fang, probably the old man just now.

Li Feng continued to go to the mourning shed to kneel, and it didn't take long to see that his mother personally sent the director of Fang downstairs, and a group of people let his mother stay and left quickly, although this group of people did not stay for a long time, it was still morning, and there were not many people in the family courtyard, but the news spread quickly, most of the people in the family courtyard looked at the Li family with some strange eyes, and on the contrary, many leaders of the Forestry Bureau hurriedly came to come to condole again, not to mention, the specifications of the father's funeral and memorial service were immediately raised a lot, Even including the pension, the increase in specifications is clear, because the director of the Secret Bureau will go in person, as for the pension increase, it is discussed with the mother in private, the mother told Li Feng about it with some contempt, some leaders learned that their father was a secret police agent before, and after decades of lurking in the Forestry Bureau, they were scared to death, this is to take money to seal, such as any notebooks that have not been handed in in a hurry, record letters and other things, it is best to follow your father into the earth for peace and not see the light of day. In fact, these things from there, your father knows to drink every day, and there is a heart to work?

Li Feng thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Mom, do you know what happened to your father in the past?" ”

"Naturally, if it weren't for your father's mysterious profession when he was young, I wouldn't have been tricked by your father into coming to Zhengbian City."

Although her mother said this, looking at her father's portrait full of remembrance and sadness, Li Feng closed her mouth and lowered her head and didn't ask anything.

On the last day of Li Feng's vigil, Aunt Zhang took Chen Lijuan to worship her father, before that, Chen's father had already come, after worshipping, Aunt Zhang looked at the honest Li Feng a few times and went to talk to her mother, Chen Lijuan rubbed the corners of her clothes for a long time before she said to Li Feng: "You ...... Don't be too sad either. ”

Li Feng turned his head to look at her and said two words: "Thank you." ”

After that, the two of them didn't speak, but Aunt Zhang came over to comfort Li Feng a few words, and asked Li Feng about his studies, Li Feng answered one by one, Aunt Zhang praised Li Feng very much, and asked Chen Lijuan to study hard with Li Feng, turned her head and talked to her mother for a while, and then took her daughter away, and her mother went to send it off, Li Feng still wanted to ask her mother something, but in the end she still didn't speak.

On the eighth day, everything went according to plan after the removal of the mourning shed, with the help of many people running before and after, before noon, the father's urn was buried in the Xiling Cemetery, Li Feng was afraid that his mother was too sad, he came alone, took out a bottle of wine, drank a few sips by himself, and poured the rest to his father, and lit a cigarette and put it in front of his father's tombstone for a silent while, and then left without looking back.

The father's posthumous affairs were finally completed, and his mother was urging him to go back to school quickly, but looking at his mother, who often stayed in the house and didn't belong, and then looked at his sister who was still a little frightened and always grabbed his hand, how could Li Feng go? As time passed, after seeing that Li Feng always didn't say anything about going back to school, her mother still made up her mind.

At this time, it had been almost a month since his father's funeral in the past, and his mother had a formal conversation with Li Feng for the first time.

"Feng'er, I know you're worried about me and your sister, but it's not a matter that you always postpone the date of returning to school, and if you delay your future, your father will be unhappy if he finds out."

"It's okay mom, I won't delay anything, I'll go to school after spending the New Year with my mother."

The mother sighed slightly, looked around and said, "Feng'er, if it doesn't work, our whole family will go to Shanghai, your father is no longer there, and there is nothing here that I can be nostalgic for." ”

Li Feng was surprised by these words, and after hesitating for a while, he said: "Mom, I'm really fine, besides, if we all go to Shanghai, my sister's study and mother's work?" ”

"Your sister can transfer to another school, her household registration is with me, it is convenient to go to school over there, as for my work relationship can also be transferred, it should be no problem, the leaders of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau know about your father's affairs and wish I was transferred, I am afraid that I am also the investigator of them, so that you can also go to school with peace of mind, and I haven't seen your grandma and grandfather for 20 years."

Li Feng was speechless, he had long known that his mother was from Haishi, but he had never heard his mother talk about what happened over there, he thought that his mother's parents were long gone, and he was afraid that his mother would be sad Li Feng never asked, it turned out that his mother's parents were there! But I haven't heard from me for the past 20 years......!

Li Feng didn't want to continue thinking about it, he didn't dare to arrange his mother's no.

The mother was obviously caught up in the memories: "Speaking of which, when I left my mother's house, there was still one acre and two cents of paddy fields at home, and at that time, I went down to the river every day to fish for shrimp and fish, and then your father saw me, and then I followed him here despite the opposition of the family, and now I don't know what happened to the family?" ”

Looking at his mother's look of remembrance and yearning, if not for anything else, just for his mother's mood to be better, Li Feng could only nod.

Since it was decided that the whole family would move to Haishi, my sister was happy to know the news, and there was nothing to say, and after three days of preparation, my mother greeted some people, and after leaving a new contact address, the family set off.

I took the train to go, my mother had airsickness and disliked the cost of taking the plane, on the way Li Feng asked a little worried, I haven't heard through the message for so many years, and grandma ......?

The mother said a few words to Li Feng: "Do you think your mother is so unfilial?" Although your grandma doesn't want to pay attention to me, but I have a neighbor's phone, and every once in a while I always call to ask about my parents' physical condition, and this time I have asked the neighbor's aunt to find your grandfather through the letter, your grandfather is very happy, is doing your grandma's work, at most I don't talk and let your grandma nag me for a few days, your grandma's family is just my daughter, that's all, otherwise what else? ”

Li Feng glanced at her mother and didn't speak, if it was just like that, why didn't she say it earlier? As for such a competition? Immediately, Li Feng didn't want to think about it and explained to her sister what the facilities on the side of the railway were for.

Grandma's family lives in Sanhe Town, originally called Sanhe Village, after the construction of the South Sixth Ring Road of Haishi, it became the town and changed its name, but it has not yet come to the rapid development, in addition to the new three-story building in the town, the mother said that the previous shadow can be found, but look around, although you can still see some rice fields and small rivers, but the mother is still thinking about the one acre and two points of paddy fields, that is not to think, although the town has not moved, but the fields are basically circled, although the construction has not begun.

When he arrived at his grandmother's house, his mother was obviously a little hesitant, Li Feng looked at the three-story brand-new small building on both sides, grandma's house is also a small building, but it is only two floors and it has been obvious for some years, which is somewhat out of place with the surrounding environment, and then looked at his mother and his sister who shrank behind his mother, Li Feng stepped forward and knocked on the door, and then also took two steps back and stood beside his mother.

The one who opened the door was an old lady, sixty or seventy years old, who looked still very energetic, Li Feng couldn't be sure that this was his grandmother, honestly holding his sister's hand and not speaking, the old lady opened the door and stared at her mother, her mother was indifferent at this time, and she didn't speak when she looked at the old lady.

In the end, it was the old lady who spoke first, and her tone was very bad: "You still know that this is your home?" ”

The mother is obviously very methodical and confident, so she ignored her grandmother, looked left and right and said, "It's not called grandma yet." ”

Li Feng and Li Huang both called honestly, the old lady looked at Li Feng and Li Huang, in the end she still agreed and opened the door, with a smile on her face and shouted obediently while looking at her grandson and granddaughter while pulling them into the door, grandma didn't pay attention to her mother, her mother was obviously helpless, she walked into the door and closed it casually, there was already an old voice inside and said with a smile: "It's good to come back, the food has been hot several times, come in, old woman, what about my glasses, let me take a good look at my grandchildren." ”

During the banquet, the family affection was slowly warming, and the grandmother still didn't treat her mother very well, but after knowing that Li Feng's father had passed away, and Li Feng also skipped a grade to enter the university, she looked better on her mother's face after Haishi Jiaotong University, but she still said a lot, and her mother didn't seem to care much about it, and Ken said that she forgave herself for running away from home desperately, all in all, no problem!

Three days later, after his sister went back to school and his mother was rearranged by the Sanitation Bureau in the southern suburbs of Haishi, Li Feng finally felt relieved that he planned to go back to school to continue his boredom.

This is very good, when he went out, Li Feng felt in a good mood for the first time after his father's death, until he turned out of the alley and saw a middle-aged man with his back against a black car looking at him with a complicated expression.

Li Feng immediately recognized who he was, the man whose father's colleague gave him a bag of money, what was he doing here!?

Originally, he didn't want to have anything to do with this person, Li Feng planned to leave without seeing it, but then thinking about it, he was worried that his father's affairs would involve his mother and sister, and after taking a few steps, Li Feng still turned around and walked back and walked in front of the man.

Since then, Li Feng has regretted his many events at that time for the rest of his life!

Li Feng stood in front of the man, but did not speak.

The man smiled and said, "If you leave, forget it, since you don't plan to leave, then I will give you a suggestion, a suggestion of conscience, by the way, my surname is Ding, you can call me Uncle Ding, I am not only your father's colleague, but we are also friends, your father also saved my life, in addition, your mother also knows me." ”

Li Feng paused, but still said, "Uncle Ding is good." ”

"That's right, boy, here's one."

Uncle Ding took out a pack of cigarettes, Li Feng shook his head and refused, he should be wary of him a lot.

Uncle Ding lit a cigarette himself, spit out the smoke and said, "I heard that you went to college?" ”

"Is there anything else you don't know?"

"That's an adult, let's start a conversation between men and men, I've seen your grandma and grandfather, and I probably know their situation, they don't actually have any money, your family is now old and young, it's obviously not realistic to rely on your mother, do you say it's like this? That's what I'm here for. ”

Li Feng didn't say anything, and motioned for himself to listen.

Uncle Ding spat out a mouthful of smoke: "Can I ask you about your plans first?" ”

"What else can I do, find a job after graduation and earn money to support my family." Li Feng replied as a matter of course.

"Oh, have you thought about it, how many years will it take for your mother to live a good life, and it will be difficult for you to marry a similar wife in the future with this broken house, which will make your mother worry a lot."
