Qin Jide slept, sleeping peacefully on the board bed. The eldest son, Qin Changling, wore linen and filial piety, kneeled on the road to bow first, told relatives and friends, and returned to the funeral. Relatives keep the spirit, the sorrow continues, crying again and again, filial piety clothes swing, greeting and sending, relatives and friends burn paper, talk about comfort, come and go, send away group after group, condolences, mourning, grateful, respectful. The admiration of man comes from the heart! A person's merit comes from his deeds! The labor force of the whole village took the initiative to step forward, each performing its own duties and taking its own responsibilities; Rent tables and stools, rent greenhouses, ask deacons, invite cooks, support stoves, and prepare firewood; Please send you to the treasure land, enjoy your blessings, do your good, cultivate good virtues, and accept everyone's praise!

"Dad, your son is back......"

"Dad! I'm late! ”

"Grandpa!" "Grandpa!"

A heart-rending cry was getting closer and closer, the elderly Qin Changgeng took a closer look, and recognized that it was Qin Changsong and his wife Chen Meifeng who walked in front, judging by the crying, two young people, a man and a woman, were their sons and daughters. Hurriedly shouted to Qin Changling and the other people guarding the spirit: "Changsong is back!" ”

"Dad!" "Dad!" "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" Qin Changling and his sister heard that their younger brother was back, so they hurriedly came to the door with their children to meet Qin Changsong's family. When relatives see each other, and when the old man returns to heaven, everyone's heart is like a knife, and the lungs are like arrows piercing, and they are full of joy and sorrow, crying loudly, so not sad. The cry was deafening, and the heavens and the earth swirled. Especially Qin Changsong, he hasn't seen his father for eight years. I thought my father was no longer alive, but the day before yesterday I received a call and heard that he was critically ill, so he arranged work and came back with his family. Unexpectedly, when I entered the village and saw the white flags in front of my brother's door and the filial piety clothes of my younger generation, I knew that my father had returned to heaven. At this time, the guilt and indebtedness in his heart made him no longer able to control his grief, and the family entered the house crying bitterly. Think about how difficult it was to raise myself and my sister and brother from the untimely death of my mother and my father to work long hours for others, and to send myself to serve as a soldier. Thinking about his father's strict requirements for himself, teaching himself how to behave and do things, thinking about his father's ups and downs in his life, thinking about being sent to the farm for no reason to reform, he was grief-stricken, tears fell, kneeling on his father's bed, knocking his head on the ground, red and swollen, bleeding, and saying, "Dad! Your son Komatsu is not filial, and I haven't been able to come back to visit you once in the past seven or eight years, and I am guilty of a crime in front of you! Crime! How can a son ignore his biological father for seven or eight years? That's what I am! Sinner! …… Father! Forgive me! I didn't forget you! I am also a human being, as a son of man, I know what to do in order to be considered filial piety, but your son Xiaosong I can't help myself! Forgive me! Father! My dear Daddy! What I want to do in the future is what you taught me: let everyone have food, clothing, and a house to live in, and the better! Father! The country is bigger than the family, this is what you asked me to remember, and I will do what you say whenever I come! I hope Dad goes all the way! ”

Qin Changsong cried for a while, kowtowed to his father three more times, wiped away his tears, and then walked outside the door, handed cigarettes to the villagers, elders and juniors, and asked about the production situation in the team, the living conditions of each household, and whether the young people were married? Everyone felt that this man who lived in the city did not take a stand, talked and chatted like an ordinary peasant, and had a gentle attitude, and they all gathered around, listened to his questions, and chatted a few words at will.

Qin Changsong was reinstated and returned home after being rehabilitated this time. When Qin Changgeng and other brothers of the same generation asked him about his current work, he only said that he was about to retire, without mentioning that he had returned to the provincial organs, narrowed the distance with everyone, and heard the true voices and wishes of the villagers. When he knew that the appearance of the team was changing and production was developing, he felt relieved; When he learned about the repeated twists and turns of the young men in his team to marry their daughters-in-law, especially when he heard that there were still a few young men in their early forties who had not yet married, he felt that he was not a good taste, "Poverty is harmful!" He didn't dare to think about the production and living conditions of the villages, teams, communes, and a wider range ......of production and living conditions, but just smiled and encouraged a few young people and said: "As long as you work hard, our production team will be better in the future!" The conditions have changed, and the love and happiness of the older youth's late arrival will be there, but it will be later! He said to everyone, "I came to wake and send off my father's soul, I can only talk to you in a few words, get to know each other, I can't talk for a long time, please forgive me!" He said goodbye to everyone, and returned to his father's bedside to keep a watch, greet the guests, and talk about the matter.
