Chapter Seventy-Three: Life and Glory and Death
The workers of Hongsheng Candy Factory also rushed to hear the news, and they knelt together in front of Lu Yuting's coffin to pay their respects to their boss.
Master Geng handed a silver ticket to Yurong: "Young grandma, this is 500,000 legal currency, it is the money that Boss Lu sold Hongsheng Candy Factory before his death, he originally planned to use this money as severance pay for the big guys, but now that this happened, the big guys don't want to take this money, you take it, you are old now, young and young, without a pillar, life is more difficult than ours." ”
"What Yu Ting promised, I can't disobey it, this money is still shared by all of you, you have no job, and you have to support your family, you need it more than us." Yurong stuffed the check into Master Geng's hand.
Master Geng and the workers repeatedly insisted on giving, but Yurong resolutely refused to accept it, and the two sides argued, so Mr. Zhuang came over and handed the silver ticket to Master Geng.
"This brother, this is what your Boss Lu promised you before his death, you will accept it, otherwise Boss Lu will be unhappy if he knows about it. As for Boss Lu's family, our Chamber of Commerce will find a way to help them. ”
"Mr. Zhuang, the Lu family still has a lot of industries in Guangzhou, and our orphans and widows don't know how to operate, Yurong has a reluctant request, ask Mr. Zhuang to manage the Lu Group on his behalf, and don't let these industries fall into the hands of the Japanese."
Yurong knelt in front of Zhuang Xiqing, and Uncle Yao, Ah Cheng, and the children also knelt down together. Mr. Zhuang hurriedly helped Yurong up.
"Yurong, I am also a world friend with the Lu family, okay, I will temporarily manage the Lu Group, and as soon as Yulin and Shuxian come back, I will hand it over to them."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhuang, for making you tired, please."
After receiving one blow after another, Qiu Lian went crazy, she sometimes hugged the pillow, her eyes were glazed, she looked at the door stupidly, and her mouth kept repeating: "Come back, master, come back, Ting'er." Don't go, sir, don't go, Ting'er. From time to time, Qiu Lian turned out the costumes of the year, put them on, and danced in the courtyard with water sleeves, singing "Liang Zhu", "Dou E's Injustice" and other traditional Cantonese opera repertoire, although Qiu Lian was delirious, but she could sing these bitter scenes movingly.
On the day of the funeral, the weather in Guangzhou suddenly became cold and gloomy, the Lu family was plain white, Yurong helped the spirit, Xiao'er held the spirit flag, Ming'er fell into the basin, Yin'er sprinkled paper money, mourning and music sounded in unison, wailing, the sound of the soul resounded in the sky, the funeral procession stretched for dozens of miles, and the big guy spontaneously came to see Lu Yuting on his last journey.
Jie Zai and a few team members came to Guangzhou City to buy some daily necessities, just passing by, saw Yurong wearing linen and filial piety, and hurriedly inquired about passers-by.
"Whose funeral is this?" Jie Tsai asked the old man beside him.
"The Lu family is the nephew of the good man of Lu Da, Lu Yuting, alas." The old man shook his head and sighed with a sad look on his face.
"Why is Lu Dashanren's nephew also dead?" Jay was taken aback.
"The Japanese first kidnapped Boss Lu's son, forced Boss Lu to sell Hongsheng Candy Factory cheaply, Boss Lu could only obey, the Japanese only paid 500,000 legal currency to buy Hongsheng, the Japanese also forced Boss Lu to be the president of the maintenance association, Boss Lu did not comply, the Japanese put him under house arrest, Boss Lu went on a hunger strike for three days and three nights, and was later sent to Hongji Hospital. However, people are not as good as heaven, this Hongsheng has just been taken over by the Japanese, that night, Hongsheng candy factory was burned to a ruin, the Japanese insisted that Boss Lu was related to the fire, and wanted to take him to the army secret service, Boss Lu would rather die than give in, jumped from the third floor of the hospital, and fell to his death. The old man touched the tears in the corners of his eyes.
"Boss Lu, like his uncle, is a man with iron bones." After listening to this, Jie Zai's eyes were moist.
"Yes, the Lu family is a loyal martyr, I heard that Lu Dashan's own son is still an anti-Japanese element, and he is wanted by the Japanese, alas, these days, good people don't live long, what kind of world!"
The funeral procession finally placed Lu Yuting's coffin in the ancestral grave of the Lu family on Baiyun Mountain.
After Jie Zai learned the truth, he immediately returned to Jiulong Gorge and told Ma Shoushan about it.
Ma Shoushan and Jie Zai immediately found Lu Yulin, who was training new fighters.
"Lin Tsai." Ma Shoushan beckoned to Lu Yulin, and Lu Yulin ran over.
"Lin Zai, something happened to your family." Ma Shoushan was in a heavy mood.
"What's going on?" Yu Lin's eyes widened.
"Do you have a cousin named Lu Yuting?"
"yes, what's wrong with him?" When Yu Lin heard that it was the eldest brother, he hurriedly asked.
"He was killed by the Japanese."
"What do you say? My eldest brother is dead? How did he die? Yu Lin was dumbfounded, in disbelief.
"Jie Zai went to the city today, and happened to meet the Lu family's funeral, and asked passers-by about it."
"Jie Zai, tell me, what happened?" Yu Lin grabbed Jie Zai.
Jie Tsai told Lu Yulin everything he had heard.
After Lu Yulin listened, he squatted on the ground, and his shoulders kept shaking: "Brother Yuting......"
Yu Lin found Shuxian, Ming Feng and Shu Yan, and told them about Yu Ting, and after Shuxian heard about it, tears fell like rain, and Yu Lin hugged her head and cried. So-yeon tearfully comforted on the side.
"I'm going back, I'm going back to pay tribute to my eldest brother." Yu Lin said stubbornly.
"I'll go back with you." Shuxian wiped her tears.
"But the Japanese are still wanted to arrest you." Shuyan sweated about the safety of Yulin and Shuxian.
"Brother Yuting grew up with me since childhood, he is my most respected brother and dearest person, and I can't ignore his death." Yulin's lips trembled, and he couldn't stop crying.
"Okay, I'll send a small detachment with you." Ming Feng looked at Yu Lin's painful expression, and knew that he couldn't stop him, so he agreed.
After nightfall, Yu Lin led the team to avoid the checkpoint of the Japanese army, detoured from the back mountain of Jiulong Gorge, sneaked into the city of Guangzhou, and arrived at the ancestral tomb of the Lu family on the mountain behind Baiyun Mountain at dawn, where the ancestors of the Lu family were buried, and now, several new graves have been added here.
Lu Yulin and Shuxian knelt in front of the grave of Lu Yixiang and his wife, kowtowing to their father and mother.
"Father, mother, my son has come to see you." After Lu Yulin finished speaking, tears rained down like rain, and he couldn't help himself.
"Dad, mother, Yulin and I have come to visit the second elder. The son and daughter-in-law were unfilial and failed to send the second elder to the end, so he met underground every day and made amends to the second elder. ”
Then, Yu Lin and Shu Xian came to Yu Ting's grave again.
"Big brother, a few months ago, we talked very happily, how do you think that you and I will be separated forever, big brother, how can you say that you will leave, big brother ......" Yu Ting stroked the words Lu Yuting on the tombstone, and the trombone was not stopped.
"Dad, mother, eldest brother, second uncle." Yu Ting wiped away his tears and said word by word: "I, Lu Yulin, swear here, that I will not break the bodies of Yamada Kazuo and Watanabe Ichiro into pieces, and I will not be human." ”
Yu Lin and Shu Xian bowed their heads to their departed relatives, and a round of red sun erupted from behind the mountain in the distance.
After Yulin and Shuxian finished worshipping, they went down the mountain and marched in the direction of Lu Zhai.
Yurong stood in front of Lu Yuting's spirit and blew Xun, which was a song "Double Hate", the tune was mournful and lingering, like crying and complaining, and the sadness made people cry. Yurong was full of tears, and the past scenes were presented in front of her. Yu Ting's old-fashioned, gentle, affectionate, and affectionate appearance is engraved in his heart and lingers.
"Yuting ......" Yurong looked at Lu Yuting's tablet, sad and uncontrollable.
Yu Lin, Shu Xian and the others quietly sneaked into the Lu house. Seeing Yu Rong kneeling in front of Lu Yuting's spirit in plain white, she couldn't help but cry again.
"Yurong." Yu Lin ran into the mourning hall, looked at Yu Rong who was in tears, and hugged her tightly.
"Young master, young master, why did you come, Yu Ting, Yu Ting, he is gone." Yurong cried and fainted in Yulin's arms.
"Yurong, Yurong." Yu Lin called out to Yu Rong, picked her up, and walked towards the bedroom.
After a long time, Yurong woke up, Shuxian hurriedly handed the water to Yulin, and Yulin fed Yurong water.
"Yurong, don't be too sad, now this family depends on you, if you fall, what will happen to the children?" Shuxian wiped her tears and looked at the pale and haggard Yurong.
"Yurong, Brother Yuting is gone, it's too hard for you to pull the four children. I think so, Xiao'er and Yin'er have grown up and are sensible, I plan to pick them up and send them to Yan'an, do you think it's okay? Yu Lin told Yu Rong what he had planned.
Yurong looked at Yulin and nodded: "Young master, young grandma, let Xiao'er and Yin'er go to Yan'an." When they grow up, kill a few more devils to avenge their Thunder Dad. ”
"What about you? Come with me to the Dongjiang anti-Japanese base area. Yu Lin held Yurong's hand and looked at her distressedly.
"No, young master, you march and fight, eat and sleep in the open, Ming'er is still young, and his body is weak, he can't follow you for a long time, Yong'er has only been born for a few days, and he can't leave me, I will only cause trouble to the team, I will stay here, not to mention, my mother-in-law is crazy, and I have to take care of her old man."
"Auntie is crazy?" Yu Lin was shocked when he heard the news.
"She doesn't recognize people anymore." Yu Rong pouted, and tears rolled down again.
Yu Lin hurriedly stood up and walked into Qiu Lian's bedroom with Shuxian, only to see Qiu Lian holding the pillow, her eyes glazed over, and her mouth kept muttering: "Master, you're back, Ting'er, you're back, don't you go, master, don't you go, Ting'er......"
"Auntie." Yu Lin took a few steps and knelt in front of Qiu Lian.
Qiu Lian touched Yu Lin's face: "Is Ting'er back?" Ting'er, don't you go, go home, Ting'er, go home, Ting'er......"
Yu Lin held Qiu Lian's hand, and two lines of tears flowed: "Auntie." ”
At this time, Yong'er's crying was heard, Yulin and Shuxian immediately came to Yong'er's cradle, Shuxian picked up Yong'er and gently coaxed her to sleep, but Yong'er was fierce, and Shuxian could only hold the child to Yurong.
"Yurong, the child is hungry, you can feed her."
Yurong looked at Yong'er, and was sad again, unbuttoned her clothes, and breastfed the baby, and Yong'er gulped down the milk.
Shuxian walked into Ming'er's room, looked at her sleeping son, leaned down gently, and kissed her son's little face. Ming'er opened her eyes and saw that it was Shuxian, half-convinced, and rubbed her eyes: "Mother, mother." ”
Shuxian hugged her son, tears flowing: "Ming'er, my Ming'er." ”
Yulin also walked in, and when Ming'er saw Yulin, she jumped up from the bed excitedly: "Dad, Dad." ”
"Ming'er."
Ming'er opened her hands, Yulin picked up Ming'er and kissed her son fiercely.
"Ming'er, Dad and Mom have come to see you." Yulin hugged Ming'er and couldn't bear to let go.
"Dad, mother, go home, Ming'er misses you every day."
"Ming'er, you have to listen to Rong's mother, and your father will come to see you after a while."
"Don't, don't go, don't leave Ming'er, okay? Ming'er is obedient, Ming'er is good, I beg you, don't go. ”
Ming'er hugged Yulin's neck tightly and refused to let go.
"Naru'er is obedient." Yulin broke free of Ming'er's little hand and pulled Shuxian out of Ming'er's room, Ming'er sat on the bed and cried.
After Yurong finished feeding, she put Yong'er to sleep and put her in the cradle. Then he called Xiao'er and Yin'er to him.
"Xiao'er, Yin'er, you just follow Dad Lin, remember, how did your Dad Ting die, how our Lu family was ruined by thieves, you must remember it, and when you grow up, you must remember to avenge your Dad and the Lu family."
"Mother, we remember, we will definitely avenge Dad Ting and the Lu family."
Xiao'er and Yin'er bowed to Yurong, and then followed Yulin and Shuxian out of the Lu Mansion.
