Around two o'clock in the afternoon.

Shen Fei personally sent Jiang Chenglin's body back to his hometown, because the fifth and seventh children were injured, only the fourth child was brought with him.

The old platoon commander was unfortunately killed, and it was considered to send him on his last journey and settle in the ground.

Jiang Chenglin's hometown is located on the edge of Haining City, a very remote town, and it is not rich.

So sometimes soldiers also have a sad side, how many people can understand the sadness and helplessness.

Of course, it's not that the state ignores the retired soldiers, but the whole system is too large to take care of every aspect.

Jiang Chenglin retired with a pension for retirement, but due to his wife's health and his daughter's studies, it had already been consumed.

"Brother......

Looking at the old house of Jiang Chenglin's family, even the fourth child couldn't bear it, the house was still the most traditional mud wall, there was a small courtyard, and the road leading to the village was just a muddy path, not even paved with stones.

Shen Fei felt very uncomfortable in his heart, if it weren't for him, Jiang Chenglin might still be in the army, even if he couldn't live a rich life, he wouldn't have come to the point of being forced by life.

The people in the village are relatively simple, and most of them are elderly, even people in their fifties are rare, and as soon as they heard the news of Jiang Chenglin's accident, they all rushed home.

"Mingfen, what's going on?"

"That's right, how can Lao Jiang go out and ...... Ay! ”

"Big sister, don't be angry, and everyone, say hello about the burial."

The neighbors and villagers have mobilized, some contact Mr. Feng Shui, some contact the buried craftsmen, and some Zhang Luo buried the items, the countryside is not as good as the city, and the corpse cannot be left for too long in this weather.

At night, Mr. Feng Shui did a ritual to overtake the dead, choose a burial location, and bury them early tomorrow morning.

Shen Fei was smoking a cigarette outside the courtyard, and he was even afraid to look at Zhou Mingfen's mother and daughter.

The fourth brother approached, stretched out his hand and patted Shen Fei on the shoulder, without speaking, Shen Fei turned his head sideways and pursed his mouth, he understood what the fourth child meant.

"Brother Shen."

Fei Fei's shouts pulled Shen Fei back to reality, and the fourth nodded and left, leaving a separate space.

"Eat something, it's easy, don't dislike it." Fei Fei brought it over for the night.

Looking at the noodles, Shen Fei took the bowl and ate it in a big gulp, but halfway through eating, he stopped, feeling that his throat was blocked by something, and it was difficult to swallow.

"Isn't it delicious?"

Shen Fei put down the bowl, his nose was flushed with a strong sourness, he held Fei Fei's face, and took two deep breaths to stabilize his emotions, "Fei Fei, you should hate me." ”

The corners of Fei Fei's mouth trembled, she broke free of Shen Fei's hand, don't turn her head to wipe away her tears, and let out a long sigh when she turned around, "I know that Dad's life is not easy, and you are not easy, Dad said it when he left, I don't blame you." ”

Shen Fei's hand hung in the air, trembling constantly.

"I used to be ignorant, but now I understand, Dad is a soldier, and so are you, you have your perseverance."

Saying that, Fei Fei looked back at the mourning hall and held her breath, "Brother Shen, do you think my dad will live well in heaven?" ”

Breaking Fei Fei's face, Shen Fei took it into his arms, "Yes." ”

The night was so quiet, with the pain of saying goodbye to loved ones.

Before dawn in the morning, the villagers rushed to their homes and worked together to send Jiang Chenglin on his last journey today.

According to custom, Zhou Mingfen, as his wife, could not be funeral, so she leaned on the door, staring at the coffin that was gradually moving away, and she was already crying.

Fei Fei held the statue in front of her, and the shouts of the craftsman carrying the coffin added a bit of desolation in the silent morning.

"Dad......" The coffin will be reopened before it is lowered, and it is the last time for future generations to stare at it, and Fei Fei is slumped on the ground.

The blind dates around me were full of tears.

Shen Fei approached and helped Fei Fei up, without speaking, he also glanced at the old platoon leader one last time.

"The hour has come, bury!"

When the coffin is closed, heaven and man will be separated forever.

Shen Fei stood up straight, solemnly saluted a military salute, suppressed his tears from falling, and shouted, "Old platoon leader, go all the way!" ”

"Dad......"

"Fei Fei, calm down." Shen Fei grabbed Fei Fei and closed his eyes, "Let him go quietly." ”

Fei Fei wiped her tears vigorously, she didn't dare to cry, she stood in place in a daze, looking at the dirt covering the closed door.

"Brother...... only shoveled a few shovels of soil, and the fourth touched Shen Fei.

Looking at it with the eyes, more than ten or twenty people approached quickly, and the leader in his thirties, with a fierce face, began to shout when he approached, "What are you doing, who told you to bury people here, huh?" ”

Shen Fei stared, and his face sank.

"This piece has been contracted by us, and there is a twenty-year contract, and you have no right to use it at will." The man in the lead snorted coldly.

The blind date around me was in a dilemma.

However, there were still people who spoke, "Boss Chen, you have contracted our land well, but people die in the soil for peace, this is a historical custom, you understand and understand." ”

"Understood?"

Boss Chen smiled and spat out, "Then who understands me, it's written clearly in black and white, you yourself are willing to go first, I didn't force you." ”

"This ......"

"Boss Chen, you also have parents, and the deceased is the greatest."

"What do you mean by cursing my parents early in the morning, can I understand that?" Boss Chen gritted his teeth and rushed to the blind date who spoke, "You have the ability to repeat what you just said." ”

"Hmph, I'll tell you the truth, I'm going to build a resort on this area, so what's the matter with a grave here? Don't blame me for not being humane, choosing another place, that's my bottom line. ”

Shen Fei wanted to move, but was dragged by the fourth child.

"The land has been chosen, and the time has come, Boss Chen, I'm afraid it's a bit too much for you to do this, what's the matter, bully us rough people in the countryside?"

"That is, we have been here all our lives, the land is our land, what can you do if you contract, someone in the family is gone, will we not be buried?"

"That's right, you contract to be contracted, the big deal is to bury the land occupied by you without your money, we rural people don't bury in the village, where do you let us go."

"Boss Chen, people are watching the sky, what kind of ability are you doing to bully us local farmers like this."

For a while, everyone was restless, this is no longer the business of Feifei's family, twenty years of contracting, in case someone from the family dies in the future, won't the same thing happen.

Boss Chen put on a cigarette, "Now it's me bullying you?" Okay, if you want to talk about bullying, then bully, it doesn't matter. In short, it is not allowed to be buried here, who dares to bury it, Lao Tzu will let the excavator pound it for a while, don't believe it and try it. ”

"When the time comes, let's bury it." Shen Fei said lightly.

At this time, everyone looked at Shen Fei, including Boss Chen, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Tell you, whoever dares to move today, don't blame Lao Tzu for not showing mercy." ”

"I'll tell you too, if you shout again, Lao Tzu will abolish you." endure and endure, after all, there will be a time when you can't help it.
