Guan Yue had a harmonious relationship with the Guo family, and when she introduced Liu Xuehua to Guo Kaiwei and Guo Kaiying's wife, the two rolled their eyes at her unfriendly.

"Yo, who should I be, it turned out to be a comrade-in-arms of the third child of our family, I have heard that the third child is in the army, and it all depends on you to carry it." Guo Kaiwei's wife is a master who usually does not give up, as the daughter-in-law of the Guo family, she gets along very well with Guan Yue, after meeting Liu Xuehua, she is really moving, she is a beauty, she wants to vent for Guan Yue.

"Hello sister-in-law, I have also heard your story, do your two brothers still make trouble for you from time to time, if you go in one day, Brother Kaiwei doesn't care, you can come to me, my father can still speak in front of the leaders of City A."

The sister-in-law of the Guo family saw that Liu Xuehua's spoken language was really sharp, and she didn't dare to offend others, after all, her two brothers were bastards, if Liu Xuehua couldn't get off the stage, maybe her husband Guo Kaiwei couldn't keep those two boys.

"I'm sick to my stomach, I'm out of company, I'm going to."

After seeing the sister-in-law leave, Guo Kaiying's wife pulled Liu Xuehua to the side, there were a lot of snacks there, took out a handful of pine nuts, and put it in Liu Xuehua's hand, "My sister-in-law is bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, you don't want to be like her, if the words are deep, she has a problem, she is ruthless, and she doesn't sleep all night." ”

"And this sickness, it looks like I'm going to have to stay away from her." Liu Xuehua smiled and dealt with it calmly.

"There's a guest." When Guo's father returned to work, the teachers and colleagues in that middle school always respected Guo's father very much, because Guo's father was a college student in the old society, not only with a high level of cultural attainment, but also conscientious in teaching, and not a child who was not a child, and was usually a role model for them.

Just when the teachers were burning incense and paper for Guo's father. Suddenly, I heard the sound of cars outside the village, and the sound of many motorcyclists twisting the throttle handlebars came from a distance, which was very disturbing.

"Big brother, look." Looking in the direction of Guo Kaiying's finger, Guo Kaiwei saw the dusty scene, these vehicles were parked at the mouth of Guo's alley, there were about dozens of motorcycles, and there were more than a dozen cars, and a team of hundreds of people got out of the car, the first one. Wearing a black windbreaker, a top hat on his head, and a snow-white scarf hanging down his shoulders naturally, this outfit is very similar to "Xu Wenqiang" in the TV series "Shanghai Tang".

"Get out of the way, get out of the way." Walking at the forefront, several men in black tunics, each wearing black sunglasses, pushed the crowd blocking the road.

"Plop", the "Xu Wenqiang" knelt straight in front of Guo's father's spirit, "Uncle." I'm Shengzi, I've been to your house before, I'm the brother of the new brother, and you're old. I know it's too late, don't blame me. Liu Sheng snorted and cried, as if he was Guo's father's biological son.

After Liu Sheng finished burning incense and paper, he kowtowed three more times. Originally, the two brothers of the Guo family also kowtowed in return, but Guo Kaiwei not only did not return the salute, but looked at him angrily.

"Big brother. It's time to return the favor, so many people are watching. Guo Kaiying lowered his head and pulled the corner of his eldest brother Guo Kaiwei's clothes.

Guo Kaiwei still didn't move.

"Big brother, today is my father's big day, and the etiquette is passable." Guo Kaiying touched Guo Kaiwei with his finger again, and Guo Kaiwei kowtowed in return.

Walking out of the mourning shed, Liu Sheng walked directly to the account table where he received white gifts, took over the bundles of "Great Unity" from the people around him, and said to the bookkeeper with a smile, "Write it down for me, my name is Liu Sheng." ”

"Liu Sheng, 10,000 yuan." On the one hand, the front desk is responsible for counting the "white gifts", and when they finish counting, they will report the amount of money sent by the salute in a high-profile voice.

There is a long table in the back, there is an old man in charge of bookkeeping, he will write down the high-profile words at the front desk, form an account book, and make a record for future gifts.

"Shengzi, my eldest brother said, you just need to come, we can't accept this gift." After hearing the long and high-profile voice, Guo Kaiying walked to the "white front desk".

"Sixth, I am the iron buddy of the new brother, I didn't come to you today, you know this, I am the new brother, he is my good friend, and he saved my life, this gift must be received."

Seeing Liu Sheng say this, Guo Kaiying also felt that this was the case, and now Liu Sheng can be regarded as a figure on the scene, and it is said that he has also become a "standing committee member of the provincial-political-cooperative" and joined a certain democratic party, which is no longer what it used to be.

Just when Guo Kaiying wanted to entertain Liu Sheng to rest, Guo Kaiwei came over, "What you said, I heard it from afar, in this family, I am the boss, no matter who you are aiming at, you can't accept it, if you look at the face of the fourth child, you can send this money to his house and give it to his wife and children." ”

"Okay, okay, since the eldest brother is not allowed to accept it, I will take it back, come on, get the money back." According to Liu Sheng's instructions, his subordinates retrieved the money from the account table and put it in their briefcases.

"Oh, it's all there, and the leader is too." In order to show his strength, Liu Sheng walked to the rest area of the City A Police Station and arched his hand at the No. 3 leader.

"Boss Liu, I heard that you have acquired another restaurant, Wishing you prosperity." The No. 3 leader was also smiling.

"Big brother, let's go back to the spirit shed." Guo Kaiying was afraid that Guo Kaiwei would cause trouble, so he messed up the scene and urged the eldest brother to return to his own position.

"Why did the fourth child make such a friend, bullying men and women, and calling me big brother, who is his big brother, if I have this brother, I have to hit the wall and die." Guo Kaiwei spoke loudly, and everyone present was discussing, speculating whether there was any grudge between him and Liu Sheng.

The Guo family's "white banquet" lasted for seven days, which is rare in City A, and the funeral of the deceased is generally carried out on the third day of death, but because the guests of the Guo family are from all over the country, the situation has changed and changed to seven days.

In these seven days, from time to time people come to worship, local, will go home to live at night, people from other places, then arrange to go to the homes of relatives in the village, just in these days, this small village, suddenly increased the population of thousands of people, not only the consumption is considerable, but also drive the economy of the small shops in the village, they are in full swing into the goods, a whole box of sales at the same time, but also in exchange for a lot of money.

Guo's father was already ill and left a message, and he had to wait for his old comrades-in-arms from the Southern Xinjiang Military Region to come before he was cremated. On the morning of the sixth day, the old man finally arrived.

I saw the old man in a military uniform, walking quickly to Guo's father's coffin, crying bitterly, "Brother, you left so soon, I know that it is too late, you won't blame me." ”

Because she had been here before, Guo's mother also walked out of the house and said to the old man, "I'm waiting for you before the funeral, some of them told me that he won't come, I don't believe it, just rely on your relationship with the old man of my family, you will come sooner or later." ”

"Old sister-in-law, you don't know what to say, I rushed back from the front line, I called the head of the headquarters, but there was no reply, and then I said to my old buddy, even if I was the political commissar, I had to come, and I came directly by plane."

"If you have a heart, if you have a heart, please come to the house."

"Wait a minute, I'm going to burn a piece of paper for my brother and kowtow."

"Who is this?" Liu Sheng, who was sitting on the side, felt that his identity was quite enough now, he didn't come out of the house when he came to Guo's mother, this inconspicuous old man came, and the old man came out to ask for warmth, which really made him wonder.

"Be quiet, didn't you see, there's someone behind him." The people on the side saw that there were several heavily armed guards beside the old soldier.

"Oh, I didn't see it just now, this is a big official, at this age, why does he have to be a division commander." Only then did Liu Sheng realize that his identity was really not as high as that old man.

On the seventh day, when the eldest brother Guo Kaiwei fell down the ash basin of burning paper, Guo's father's coffin also set off, and there were eighteen police motorcycles from the A City Police Station in front of him (this is the respect for the old Eighth Road, which is approved by the first brother of the A City Police Station), and in the middle is an extra-large coffin car, in front of which Guo Kaiying drove the car, Guo Kaiwei held his father's photo, and in the car was Guo's father's extraordinarily large huge coffin, which was specially transported from his hometown, and was the contribution of the old family to the old patriarch.

Behind the coffin car, followed by hundreds of cars, most of the people here are Guo's father's relatives, students, colleagues and some related people, and there are a few cars in the last few buses, which are headed by the eldest sister of the Guo family, and the Guo family clan is from the hometown.

In the mid-eighties of the last century, although City A has experienced large-scale reform and opening up, but the road is far from being as fast as the economy, the road to the western crematorium is particularly narrow, along the way, the distance between the car and the car is about 15 meters, hundreds of vehicles, enough to extend a long road, the paper money scattered along the way, is thrown into a sack, showing the status of the deceased and the degree of respect.

Suddenly, the cars that started stopped at the head, and Guo Xiaochun, the son of Guo Kaiwei, who was the former leader of the team, ran to his father's side, "Dad, the road ahead is blocked, and someone is getting married." ”

"Oh." Guo Kaiwei is still immersed in the nostalgia of his dead father.

There was another big chaos ahead, only to see Guo Kaiwei's second son, Guo Xiaofeng, shouting, what happened after the last one, no one knew the road, the car to greet the relatives avoided, and they gave way.

No matter how expensive a person's coffin is, it must be pushed into the "refining furnace", and within a few seconds, a small white smoke rises from the large chimney, and then the worker takes out an urn.

There was another big cry, and the Guo clan burned the clothes and favorite food for the old man, and also burned a large amount of paper money, which was considered to be a send-off for Guo's father.

Soon, under the report of others, the eldest brother Guo Kaiwei was punished by the party, transferred from his job, and went to work in the "Beijing Office" of the A City Police Bureau. ”

Fortunately, the sixth brother Guo Kaiying is usually very kind, no one reported him, and he is still his "criminal police captain". (To be continued......)
