The One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Round: Donkey-like Pre-War Preparations (51) The Red and Blue Controversy (15) The Death of Guo's Father (I)
Guo's father finally passed away, this old man raised eight children before and after in his life, and before parting, there were three who guarded him, and he could be regarded as having a son to send him to the end.
A few years before and after the old man's death, due to the fatigue of serious illness, his body was skinny, but he still insisted on the hospital bed and finished writing his 'memoirs'.
Guo's father had a rough life, born in a wealthy family, teenagers, teenagers, successful in school, and later because of the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders into my China, with the ambition to serve the country, he joined the Eighth Route Army, and he was a model for educated young people at that time.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he took off his military uniform, participated in local construction, and raised many children, but due to the turbulent period, he was excluded and sent to the countryside for labor training, and since then he has lived a hard life of accumulation of hard work and illness.
Guo's mother commented on Guo's father's illness in his later years, "He was tired in the countryside in the past few years, how could he have done so much work, if he used his pen, it would be okay, for these children, he really did a lot of heavy physical work, and this disease was left at that time." ”
The children of the Guo family have not discredited the Guo family, except for the early death of the second son and the second girl, the eldest Guo Kaiwei, the third Guo Kaishan, the fifth Guo Kaiqing, and the sixth Guo Kaiying, are all regarded as 'public people', although the eldest sister is an ordinary worker, but the eldest brother-in-law is a 'provincial and municipal model worker' every year, in this era, it is still very beautiful.
Only the fourth Guo Kaixin, is the most uneasy for Guo's father before his death, he left a letter to his son, in which he told his son not to let go of the wreckage anymore, for his own son, but also to live a good life and other words, the letter did not scold the son at all, mainly to enlighten his son, let him take on the responsibility of raising the next generation.
The genealogy of the old Guo family has been burned in his hometown, and after the reform and opening up, Guo's father has also made a lot of contributions to the inheritance of the family. He presided over several sons in City A, and took advantage of being a police officer to consult a lot of information. Coupled with the memories of his youth, he went back to his hometown many times to investigate and visit, and with the help of his relatives in his hometown, he revised the "Guo's Modern Genealogy" with hundreds of thousands of words.
The book describes the detailed population of each branch, the members who have made a difference, and the work history, and the most detailed is of course the family lineage. After the death of Guo's father, this genealogy was left to his eldest son Guo Kaiwei, hoping that he could take over Guo's father's position as the patriarch in his hometown and carry forward the fine traditions of the old Guo family. This family tree left Guo Kaiwei with trouble twenty years later, a person who is said to be a relative of his fellow villagers came to City A and said that he wanted to take the family tree, because they had chosen a new patriarch in their hometown, and he was a young descendant who became a deputy county magistrate.
Guo Kaiwei found Guo Kaishan and Guo Kaiqing for this matter, and he thought that this genealogy could not be given to them, after all, it must have been written by the old man for the rest of his life. Hopefully, they will come forward and keep their family tree.
Guo Kaiqing said, "It doesn't matter who the family tree is, what matters is how to pass it on, if they want it." Just give them to them. ”
Guo Kaishan said sternly, "You can give it to them, we will leave my father's manuscript in Guo's house in City A, and publish it into a book." If they want, they can give them a few if they want to go on again. Just publish a book. ’
The people from his hometown are not idle people, looking at the two generals in front of him without fear, "What we want is the manuscript, and now your old Guo family in City A is going to be extinct, what's the use of asking for this manuscript?" Why don't you let me take it, my nephew of the deputy county magistrate has renovated the Guo family temple, just waiting for this family tree to worship his ancestors. ”
"How do you know that there is no queen of the Guo clan in Lu Dao A City?" Guo Kaiqing patted the coffee table in front of him, and he wanted to give the family tree to the visitor, but he didn't have it at all.
The man became more slower and more methodical, "Who doesn't know that the boss of the Guo family has two sons, both of whom are civil servants, and each of them gave birth to two daughters, and only one son is left in the second room of your family. The man pointed at Guo Kaishan in the tone of an elder.
"I said what is good about you, you have a son who ran away, and now I don't know where Lu Dao went, I have heard about it, you also divorced and married a little wife, right, do you still need to say it, the fourth, fifth, and sixth sons are not married, I said that you are out of this branch in City A, is it wrong?"
The most difficult way to solve the problem is that the family tree is taken two years later, if the Guo family really does not have the next generation, people will come to pick it up, so in these two years, the third generation of the Guo family has married one after another and participated in the "birth war" in this peaceful era, which is a later story.
Since the end of the turmoil in the last century, Guo's father has long since resumed his public office, and his old colleagues and comrades-in-arms have also made contact with each other, and the biggest official is the old comrade-in-arms of the Southern Xinjiang Military Region, which has been stated in the first volume. Because of these people, Guo's father's funeral was quite grand, in this small A city village, there are countless people who come to mourn, vehicles are parked in every corner of the village, 24-hour flowing water seats, and it is not appropriate to be happy even more busy.
"There's a guest." With a long voice from the deacon, three old people walked in from outside the courtyard, and the two brothers of the Guo family kneeling in front of the brazier in the spirit shed, wearing linen and filial piety, kneeling and kowtowing to the visitors.
"Brother, you're just leaving, it's only been a few days since the good days, and a few brothers have come to see you." The three people who came were all colleagues of Guo's father in the district government, and now they have long since retired, and they can be regarded as the elders of the Guo brothers.
"I said that his eldest sister, the third child, and the fifth child didn't come back, my father's death is such a big deal, is the army busy." A female elder from her hometown asked the eldest sister of the Guo family in the house.
"My fifth brother went to the south to fight, and he came back three years ago, and my father told him before he died, don't let him be distracted, he is also going to the front, and my mother said that she won't let him come back."
"And the fourth is still inside?"
"Well, it's coming out soon, this stupid roe deer, very stupid, I've heard the sixth child say, he can make a not-guilty defense, he has to be willing to go in, my father is the most worried about him, and after he comes out, let's take care of it."
"I heard that the second daughter-in-law remarried? What is the boy going to do? ”
"I haven't been in touch for a long time, it's been a few years, what can I do, I've been with my mother, this is also a hard-working mother, when my second brother was alive, he was very good, who would have thought, short-lived to die, my father said when he was alive, it all depends on my second brother to live in this new house."
"There are guests coming". I saw a group of policemen dressed in civilian clothes came to the front of the mourning shed, they were colleagues of the two Guo brothers, and after everyone finished the incense, they bowed three times in a row to Guo's father's tablet.
"Kaiwei, Kaiying, you two want to mourn, No. 1 said that it is inconvenient to come, let me represent it, he also said that the car is out, just say, the bureau is all inclusive." The person who came was the No. 3 person in the police station of Bureau A, he was Guo Kaiwei's best colleague and comrade-in-arms, and now he was already several levels higher than Guo Kaiwei, just because he was kind and kind, not like he made too many enemies, so he was promoted quickly.
"Three, come here, I want to ask something?" Guo Kaiwei pulled the unit leader to a place outside the shed where no one was.
"I proposed to clean up the matter of Liu Sheng's underworld group, has the bureau approved it?"
"This matter, it's not easy to do, the bureau has also studied it, because Liu Sheng has a special identity now, and No. 1 also probed the city and hit the nail again, I think this matter is still in the long run."
"What, in the long run? This kid has been doing evil for so many years, and he is still left to do something, so he should have cleaned it up a long time ago. ”
"Who is Lai, if you weren't blind back then, now my position is already yours, with your ability, you can also be the leader of the City A Police Department, don't rely on you, if you become a brother, you still need to make a report, stay honest."
"Ugh." Guo Kaiwei sighed, and returned to the spirit shed to kneel down to greet the guests.
"There's a guest." With another long voice from the deacon, a young woman came in from outside, this person was Liu Xuehua, and when she walked to the front of the spiritual shed, Guan Yue pulled her forward.
"The incense on the pillar is enough, there is no need to worship."
With my relationship with my comrades-in-arms who have been in the mountains for so many years, I still have to worship. After Liu Xuehua took the incense, he knelt in front of the old man's photo tablet and kowtowed three times.
"Old man, you go well, open the mountain to participate in the exercise in the army, and if you can't come back, I will kowtow to you on behalf of him."
"Who is this?" Guo Kaiwei, who was kneeling on the side, didn't know Liu Xuehua.
"This is the one I always tell you." The sixth brother Guo Kaiying whispered in the ear of the eldest brother.
"Oh, it turned out to be the chief's daughter, so you bothered." Guo Kaiwei and Guo Kaiying, brothers, also kowtowed and returned the salute. (To be continued......)
