Sun Nan was ready to ask for leave not to attend the meeting on the grounds that his father was sick and needed someone to take care of him, but his father refused to let him live or die, insisting that he had fully recovered, and said step by step: "Xiao Nan, you are no longer an ordinary staff member now, you are now the deputy director and a national cadre, you must work more actively and hard, since there is something in the bureau, you go back, your father's illness has been cured, you don't have to worry about me anymore,"

Mother also urged Sun Nan on the side: "Yes, Xiao Nan, your father's illness has been cured, don't take it to heart anymore, go back, besides, isn't there me and your sister serving your father at home, you can go back to work with peace of mind, work matters,"

At the urging of his father and mother, Sun Nan rushed back to Yiyang,

After attending the meeting in the bureau, Sun Nan originally planned to rush back to her hometown to visit her father immediately, but at this time, she received an invitation from Fangshan County to invite her to participate in the New Year's tea party.

As a cadre who came out of Fangshan, and has just been promoted to deputy director of the Municipal Finance Bureau, if she does not go to Fangshan to participate in the New Year's tea party, it is inevitable that someone will make irresponsible remarks behind her back, saying that she forgot her roots as soon as she was promoted, which attracted a lot of criticism and brought a lot of passivity to the future work.

Moreover, she also planned to take the opportunity of this tea party to talk to Xu Qinfa about Zhang Chaoyang, and see if Xu Qinfa could transfer Zhang Chaoyang out of Erdaoling Township and arrange it to which unit in the county.

Therefore, after some hard thinking, she called her sister Sun Lei and asked her sister to help her take care of her father, and then came to Fangshan.

Because of this, after connecting the phone call of her sister Sun Lei, Sun Nan's head "buzzed", a dizziness, and an ominous premonition instantly filled her entire brain, and tears then poured out of her sockets like beads with broken threads, and fell on the placket of her clothes in large sizes, enduring the grief in her heart, and said to the driver Chen Bei in a hoarse voice: "My father is dying, please Brother Chen send me back to my hometown now,"

Chen Bei had already realized something from Sun Nan's tone of answering the phone, and as soon as Sun Nan's voice fell, he turned the handlebar and rushed to Dongshagou Village, Xiaohuangshan Township, Heyang County, Sun Nan's hometown......

Sitting in the speeding car, Sun Nan's thinking was very chaotic, and the image of his father appeared in his mind from time to time.

How afraid of her father's misfortune,

Over the years, in order to repay the foreign debts owed by the three of them when they were studying, my father got up early and worked greedily at night, and endured all the hardships, and it can be said that he did not enjoy a day of happiness.

Originally, after getting married, she planned to take her parents to Yiyang to live with her, so that the two old people could spend their old age in peace, but the marriage change and other things made her have no time to take care of this matter, but fortunately, now she has finally settled down, and she has made a decision, after a while, after she has settled down, she will take her parents to Yiyang anyway, and live with her and her sister, and at this juncture, her father is sick, if her mother falls down at this time, psychological guilt and anxiety will haunt her for the rest of her life......

Thinking of these, Sun Nan was anxious, eager to grow a pair of wings, and immediately flew back to his home and his father's side.

Chen Bei understood Sun Nan's mood very well at the moment, and increased the speed of the car silently, and rushed forward at a speed of one hundred and sixty kilometers per hour, just like flying,

Due to the excessive speed, the three-hour journey was completed in less than an hour and a half, and along the rugged country road, it drove directly to Sun Nan's doorstep.

Although it was very late, Sun Nan still saw a lot of people gathered in front of his house from a distance, and what was going in and out.

Sun Nan's mood became even worse, and he got out of the car in an impatient mood, but he obviously felt that his legs were weak.

Faintly, Sun Nan also heard crying,

At this time, Sun Nan saw her mother crying in grief and being picked up by her relatives, and her sister Sun Lei, Aunt Sun, her two uncles and all her relatives and friends and neighbors all cried loudly.

When her mother saw Sun Nan hugging Sun Nan, she cried grief-stricken and said, "Xiao Nan, your father is gone, why don't you come back early, poor your father didn't even see you for the last time,"

Sun Nan suddenly understood everything, her dearest father was really gone, just in the time she was gone, leaving her forever......

As if struck by lightning, Sun Nan's brain was stunned, dizzy for a while, and then his eyes went black and fell to the ground......

In a daze, Sun Nan found herself in a very strange place, as if she heard her father calling her in a chaotic world.

The father said to Sun Nan in that majestic and loving voice: "Xiao Nan, don't be afraid if you are wronged outside, come home, there is a father, no matter how difficult it is, your father will support you,"

Sun Nan then walked towards the voice, but the voice was getting farther and farther away from her, and finally, she heard her father seem to be asking her in the sky: "Xiao Nan, Dad is gone, I can't give you shelter from the wind and rain anymore, the days to come are all up to you, you take care of yourself, you take care of yourself, in addition, you have to take care of your mother, take care of your sister, take care of your brother, and help Dad support this family......

Sun Nan felt like a young and ignorant child, desperately following his father's voice to his father, wanting to keep his father, let his father return home with him, and reunite with her and her mother, as well as her sister and younger brother, but there was chaos around her, she couldn't see anything, and she couldn't find her father's figure, just like that, her father's voice disappeared and disappeared into the vast sky......

Without her father's voice, Sun Nan was so lonely and helpless, she was running, crying......

"Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan," I don't know how long it took, Sun Nan heard his mother's call, and tried to open his eyes,

When Sun Nan opened her eyes, she saw that all her relatives were looking at her anxiously, their faces full of anxiety and concern.

Sun Nanwa burst into tears, she grinned and shouted "Daddy......" pushed everyone away and rushed into the hall.

There was a bed in the middle of the hall, and my father was lying upright on the same bed on which he had once laid, covered with a white cloth.

Sun Nan slowly walked towards his father, staggering, crying and whimpering......

Walking to the side of the bed, Sun Nan uncovered the white cloth with trembling hands,

His father's face gradually appeared in front of Sun Nan's eyes, his emaciated face, his wrinkled skin, and even the scars at the corners of his eyebrows were still so clearly visible.

At this time, Sun Nan suddenly found that his father's eyes were not completely closed, and through the dilated pupils, Sun Nan seemed to feel that his father still had some unfulfilled wishes.

Sun Nan cried and said, "Dad, your daughter is back, you can say anything you want,"

Sun Nan shook his father's body, but his body was gradually stiffening, and there was no trace of heat in the cold.

Sun Nan knelt at the head of the bed, helping his father close his eyes with his hands, crying loudly,

She knew that her father's life had come to an end, and from now on her father would leave her, her sister and her younger brother studying in the provincial capital.

She remembered all the benefits her father had done to her over the years, and remembered his broad and strict fatherly love,

The more I thought about it, the more I felt my father's love, and the more I thought about it, the more sad I felt, Sun Nan could no longer control his fragile emotions, and his tears were like a dam bursting its embankment, pouring down thousands of miles.

She felt that she had not fulfilled her filial piety as a daughter, so her father left her in a hurry, and she didn't even give herself the last chance to fulfill her filial piety, and the deep nurturing grace she owed her father was destined to be impossible to repay in this life.

Sun Nan cried like this, her mother and sister Sun Lei also came up, the family hugged each other and cried together, and the people in the village came over with tears in their eyes to help Sun Nan up.

At this time, Uncle Mao and Second Uncle Liu, who usually preside over red and white affairs in the village, also came over to persuade Sun Nan: "Xiao Nan, don't cry, people can't be resurrected after death, let's handle the aftermath for your father,"

Hearing what Uncle Mao and Second Uncle Liu said, Sun Nan came back to his senses,

Yes, he is the oldest among the three sisters and brothers, he is the pillar of the family, and his younger brother is still studying outside, so at this moment, he must be stronger, only in this way can he put his father into the ground, therefore, Sun Nan wiped his tears and said to Uncle Mao and Second Uncle Liu: "Uncle, second uncle, I have been outside all these years, I don't know the rules of the family at all, everything is subject to the arrangements of your two old people,"

Uncle Mao said: "The rest of the matter will be arranged by me and your second uncle Liu, but right now, what we still need to do is to bring your younger brother Xiaojie back to your father to fulfill his filial piety,"

The mother also said: "Yes, Xiao Nan, you ...... Your father kept muttering before leaving, saying that he couldn't look at Xiaojie before he died, Xiao...... Xiao Nan, you have to find a way to get Xiao Jie back as soon as possible, and ...... Send your dad down with you,"

As soon as Sun Nan's mother's voice fell, Chen Bei, who was standing behind Sun Nan, took her words and volunteered: "Auntie, Director Sun, leave this matter to me, I will go to the provincial capital to pick up Sun Jie's younger brother now,"

Sun Nan's mother held Chen Bei's hands tightly and said gratefully, "Thank you, eldest nephew,"

Chen Beidao: "Auntie, don't be polite, you still have to discuss the uncle's future," After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the yard, got into the cab, started the engine, and rushed to the provincial capital to pick up Sun Nan's younger brother Sun Jie.

After Chen Bei left, Uncle Mao and Second Uncle Liu led a group of people to start Zhang Luo.

After everyone dispersed, Sun Nan turned around and carefully asked Sun Lei how his father died.

Sun Lei told Sun Nan that on the afternoon of Sun Nan's departure, her father's condition suddenly worsened.

Originally, she planned to call Sun Nan and tell Sun Nan about her father's condition, and asked Sun Nan to rush back to resend her father to the Municipal People's Hospital with her, but her father refused to let her live or die, saying that she was already fine and that it was no big deal, but what she didn't expect was that at night, she suddenly vomited blood, and it was only then that Sun Lei panicked and hurriedly asked her mother to go out and call someone, however, after the village doctor arrived, her father had stopped breathing,
