Chapter 288: Burial
"No matter how powerful you are, you are still a person, there are so many of us, I don't believe that we can't beat you. Since you don't have any money in your bag, the money must be on you, give it to me, and see if I can find it. The old man in the courtyard ordered directly.
"If you have the ability, come and get it." After He Shulin finished speaking, he set up a posture, looking like he was going to fight at any time.
"What are you doing? Is there any royal law left? Daddy Zhaodi, let me tell you, this is a legal society, but you can't just mess around. The pension given by the army, Comrade Shulin can do whatever he says, but it is not something you can grab if you want to. Otherwise, when the time comes, you will go to jail, and you don't expect us to catch you. The old branch secretary who arrived in time said angrily.
"That's it, Daddy Zhaodi, what you're doing is not authentic, don't lose the face of our village again." The elders in the village who came with the branch secretary also said.
"What's the matter, we didn't think about robbing, isn't this patriotic to be buried? Everything needs money, but Zhaodi has no money, so we thought about seeing if this PLA comrade could come up with a little funeral money first. Zhao Di's father said with a shy face.
They still have to live in the village, but they don't dare to offend these people who have heads and faces in the village.
"It's not the best, the funeral fee given by the army has already been given to us, so you don't have to worry about it, all things will be arranged for us old guys." The old branch secretary said directly.
"Why? Why do I give you the money, it is my daughter's and nephew's money, and it should be given to my daughter. Li Zhaodiniang shouted in a loud voice.
"Why do you say that the funeral money given by the army is used to bury the patriotic, but it is not reserved for your daughter to make up for the next family, you have to figure this out, don't mess with me here. If you think that the money is unreasonable and you have any opinions, go to the police and let the public security comrades deal with it. Maybe at that time, not only will you not receive the pension, but you will not want to have any subsidies in the future. Now I don't want to talk to you so much, everyone has to discuss tomorrow's affairs, if you want to discuss here, you can be here, if you don't want to, let me leave quickly, don't delay our affairs. The old branch secretary said without refusal.
"Old branch secretary, you said that you are so active in helping the country with funerals, do you want to make money from it? I'm telling you, this money is my daughter's, you don't want to make a penny, otherwise, I won't be done with you. Li Zhaodiniang said maliciously.
"Don't think that people all over the world are as greedy for money as your family, who rarely loves the little money that you love and exchange your life for, and you who have no conscience will only think about that money. Everyone is here, Comrade Shulin is also watching, how much money has been spent, where it has been spent, I will remember every point clearly, openly and transparently, anyone can come to check. If you are still so vexatious, get out of here, and don't delay here. The old branch secretary said angrily.
Li Zhaodi's mother was really angry when she saw the old branch secretary, and she was afraid that she would have a hard time in the team in the future, so she had to hang her head and leave scolding.
Li Zhaodi's father and eldest brother did not leave, Li Zhaodi's father laughed and said: "I'm going to stay here, how can I do if I don't stay here, this is my son-in-law's funeral." ”
Li Zhaodi's father and eldest brother want to stay here, not because they care about the patriotic funeral, but because they are afraid that the old branch secretary will spend money indiscriminately, and if they can save a point, they may make an extra point.
Because Li Zhaodi's father and eldest brother are here, they are not allowed to spend any money, and everything is allowed to be saved by the province, and the old branch secretary thinks that since no one can follow the gift after loving the country, then don't accept gifts from others, and the province will owe peace in the future.
So in the end, the result of everyone's discussion was that there was no banquet, and only some dishes and steamed buns for the people who came to help.
After discussing the matter, He Shulin took Li Heping to the old branch secretary's house, and after lunch, he began to decorate the mourning hall with the villagers.
Because Li Aiguo didn't have any relatives, he only notified his neighbors and well-connected people in the end, and these trivial matters were handled by the villagers.
Because according to the rules here, the child has to keep the spirit at night, and he must guard the lamp in front of the spirit, show the way home to the country, and not let the lamp go out, so although Li Heping is only five years old, he is also arranged to kneel in front of the mourning hall when it is dark.
And Li Zhaodi went back to the house early to go to bed after eating, not caring about what happened in the yard at all, as if this funeral had nothing to do with her.
He Shulin felt sorry for the child, and he didn't have a place to live, and he didn't want to trouble the old branch secretary, so after dinner, he sat next to the child, helping to watch the lamp while accompanying the child, so that he would not be afraid.
On the other hand, He Shulin also wants to say goodbye to patriotism for the last time.
After a while, He Shulin got up and poured a glass of wine, and said reassuringly: "Patriotism, don't worry, with me, I will definitely arrange peace, and I will never allow your children to suffer, you can go with confidence, and cast into an era of peace in the next life, and grow old in peace." ”
Because incense and paper were not allowed to be burned at this time, He Shulin could only pour a glass of wine to honor his brother.
"Peace, would you like to live with your mother? If you want, even if she doesn't want to support you, I will find a way to force her to take care of you. ”
He Shulin was afraid of peace and wanted to live with his mother, so he asked.
After all, the child is still young, and his dependence on his mother is relatively large, and the child cannot be without a mother.
"I don't want to, my mother always beat me before, if my mother still takes me after remarrying, she will beat me even more, I don't want to be her oil bottle." Peace shook his head and said timidly.
Obviously, he was scared by Li Zhaodi before, and he would rather be an orphan than live with his mother.
"But that's your mother after all, are you sure you want to separate from her? If you part, you may never see each other again. He Shulin confirmed again.
"I'm sure I don't want to live with her anymore. My mother said before that if I dared to remarry with her, she would beat me to death. I don't want to die, I still want to be a big hero like my father. Uncle, don't let me follow my mother, okay, I can live by myself, I can cook and do laundry. Li Heping said with tears in his eyes.
"Don't cry, I'm just asking for your opinion, don't worry, if you don't want to, your uncle will definitely arrange it for you, and I won't let you live alone at a young age." He Shulin touched Li Heping's head and said comfortingly.
"Are you going to take me away, uncle?" Li Heping raised his head and asked suspiciously.
"I'm not sure yet, I'll have to discuss it with your village party secretary tomorrow. You can know, but you don't have to worry about this as a child, anyway, your uncle will arrange a good place for you. ”
"Well, I believe in my uncle, I know that my uncle is a good man and a big hero like my father." Li Heping said with admiration and trust in his eyes.
After burying Li Aiguo the next day, Li Zhaodi and her mother's family immediately blocked He Shulin in the courtyard.
"Now that Aiguo has been buried, hurry up and bring me the pension." Li Zhaodi said directly.
"Now the child's affairs have not been clarified, how can I give you the money, you said yesterday that you would not raise the child, then we must discuss the child's affairs first, and I can take out the pension, it just so happens that the secretary has not left yet, we can discuss it together." He Shulin said.
"What to discuss, the child said that if he doesn't raise me, he won't raise it, I have remarried, what kind of children do I have? Isn't that a burden to me? Give me the pension, I deserve it. Li Zhaodi said unreasonably.
"This pension is your share, but there is also a child's share, it's impossible for you not to raise the child, and give you all the pension, this can't be justified anywhere." He Shulin refused.
"Comrade of the People's Liberation Army is right, you don't raise children anymore, why do you still give you all the pensions?" The women's director of the village received it directly.
"If you don't raise children, the pension can only give you half at most, and after you remarry, you will no longer be a patriotic wife, and you will not have your share in the subsidies for the families of martyrs in the future." He Shulin said.
"Why? Why don't you have my share? Even if I remarried, then I was also his wife before, and I gave birth to a son for him, so why don't I subsidize it. Li Zhaodi shouted dissatisfiedly.
"Since you have remarried, then the hukou is not in the patriotic hukou book, legally speaking, you have nothing to do with him, why should the martyr's allowance be issued to you, do you want to take the money to raise other men's children?" The old branch secretary said in a very bad tone.
"Then I'll raise a child, but if I raise a child, the pension must be given to me, and the future martyr's allowance must also be given to me." Li Zhaodi changed her words.
Anyway, in the end, whether to raise it or not, how to raise it, after the people in the army go back, they don't know, Li Zhaodi thought triumphantly.
"Since you said that you want to raise it, then you must raise it well, if you still starve the child like this, and beat him all day long, then the army will definitely not agree. If you can raise the child well, then I can give you all the pension, two yuan a month in the future, and a subsidy of three catties of food, but I will ask someone in the team to help supervise, if you are not good to the child, then you don't want to get any of the subsidies in the future, and you will spit out all the previous ones. If you agree, we'll sign an agreement, and I'll give you the money as soon as it's done. ”
He Shulin was afraid that after Li Zhaodi got the money, he would abandon the child, so he said so. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
