Chapter 823: Death (3)
I was uneasy in my heart, mainly because I was afraid that Xu Guangzong's ghost would appear and make trouble. Vertices are updated the fastest
When I arrived at the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants, because it was the morning rush hour, there were many people coming out of the community, which looked very lively, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with the affairs of the Xu family.
The fat man parked the car, and we went to the neighborhood committee first.
Director Mao arrived early, with deep dark circles under his eyes, and he didn't seem to have slept well all night.
The five of us are actually in the same state.
"Director Mao. How's it going? I said hello.
Director Mao smiled bitterly, "What can I do?" Alas...... Xu Tie bit Xu Gang and didn't let go, saying that Xu Gang forced his father to death for a house. Xu Gang's wife quarreled with Xu Tie's family. But Xu Gang ......"
Director Mao paused when he said this, and his expression became puzzled.
"What's wrong with Xu Gang?" I asked.
I already knew about the situation that Director Mao mentioned earlier. However, when people from the propaganda department inquired about the situation, it was impossible to find out the details.
Director Mao thought about it and sighed: "I really didn't expect it. Xu Gang is really a filial son. Xu Guangzong died suddenly, and he may have been hit hard...... Yesterday, he wanted to keep a vigil for Xu Guangzong, but there was a lot of noise in the back, and his wife dragged him away. ”
Director Mao changed his expression of righteous indignation, "Xu Tie also said that he was pretending. What he said yesterday was really ugly, and outsiders couldn't listen to it. Xu Gang listened to it and didn't react at all. The man looked like he had been drained. ”
My eyelids jumped.
It's not that I have the heart of a villain, it's just that as soon as I thought that Xu Guangzong's death might not stop, when I heard Xu Gang's abnormality, some bad thoughts popped up in my mind.
"They're not here yet, are they?" The thin man asked.
Director Mao shook his head, "When I left, I didn't say anything about today's arrangement." Messy and coaxing. Alas......"
Not long after, the people who went to work in the neighborhood committee came together, and a new round of gossip about the Xu family began.
Director Mao is a person of some age, and he muttered two sentences "Xu Guangzong is dead", it seems that he is the kind of person who firmly believes in "the dead are great", and it is not good to continue to gossip after Xu Guangzong's death.
There are two staff members in their thirties in the neighborhood committee, but there is no such taboo. The last time I saw Xu Guangzong, the little Yao who intervened to reveal Xu Guangzong's background to us, was even more arrogant at this time, and commented: "He just tossed himself to death." The youngest son was spoiled endlessly, and he was spoiled until he was forty or fifty years old. In the end, he was angry with his youngest son to death, and he deserved it. ”
The thin man nodded in support of this statement, and was immediately praised by this "Aunt Yao" as "a young man, with a clear mind and sensible things".
Guo Yujie pursed her lips, obviously agreeing with Director Mao's approach.
We stayed in the neighborhood committee for a while, and when it was past ten o'clock, we saw Xu Gang's car and prepared to go to Xu's house to offer incense.
After all, Xu Gang is not here, and we are afraid that we will be the target of Xu Tie's mad dog. It's a bit despicable to make such a decision, but no one wants to gag the dog head-on.
Thinking that there was Xu Gang in front of us, the five of us walked to the Xu family, and our steps were still heavy.
"If you want me to say, we should play dead." The thin man muttered.
"It's easy to play dead, but what about after?" I sighed.
With a change of leadership, we petty civil servants may pretend to be dead. When the time comes, the unlucky one who is pushed out to be the guilt is really dead.
The old leader is clearly not that kind of person. He's an old-fashioned guy with a lot of human touch. and Director Mao's thoughts are also somewhat the same, the dead are the greatest. Let's talk about it, and it's not surprising.
Originally, the old leaders wanted to come in person, but they were stopped by Director Ma of the Propaganda Department. For the sake of the follow-up work of the Demolition and Relocation Office, he gave up.
This is not a show of candidates in Western elections, but the old leaders really feel that everyone is important, and death is the heaviest thing in everyone's life.
I am a little touched by the old leader's approach.
However, if it were me, I wouldn't have done it on my own initiative.
There are personality reasons, and there are also changes in social mores. My generation lacks the interpersonal habits of old leaders who get to know their new neighbors on the first day they move, and then help each other for decades afterward.
When we entered the residential building where the Xu family was located, we heard the sound of an argument upstairs.
Xu Tie shouted: "What are you doing here?" Cat crying mouse fake mercy! You're less pretended! It's just that you're angry Dad! You're still happy, aren't you? I'm telling you, you want a house, no way! Our family won't be moving out! You just negotiated with the government, and we won't move! ”
The thin man immediately made an exaggerated lip shape.
Okay! Before we arrived, Xu Tie mentioned us first, and also issued a declaration of nail households.
All five of us couldn't help but slow down.
Xu Gang didn't speak, and it was a woman who answered.
I only heard the woman sneer and mocked: "It's you who should pretend less!" Who gnawed at the old all his life, and still took his son to gnaw on the old together? Our family Xu Gang celebrates the New Year's holidays, there is nothing to do, how many things did you bring to the old man, and how many of those things have entered your family's hands?! ”
"Our brother speaks, it's your turn to interject!" Xu Tie roared.
The thin man pulled me and lip-checked me again.
I have a bitter face, but I have come here, and it is definitely not good to turn around and go directly back to the neighborhood committee.
The morning rush hour for work has passed, but I have heard other noises in the building from the retired old men and women in the six villages of workers and peasants, and it seems that someone is going to come out to see the excitement.
I exhaled and continued to climb the stairs.
I was thinking about how to deal with the quarrel of the Xu family, and as I walked up, I suddenly felt a breath.
My steps paused.
"Hey, okay, okay, you all don't say a word, don't quarrel at the door of the house. Go in and say, go in and say. "There was an old man's voice from above, followed by the sound of pushing, scolding, and messy footsteps.
"Second uncle, what benefits did you receive from Xu Gang? We don't have any money, and you can't help him bully people! ”
"What nonsense are you talking about? My dad said fairly, what's wrong? ”
"Don't argue......"
Listening to the movement, the people above are not only Xu Gang's family.
I walked a few quick steps and rushed upstairs, just in time to see a crowd of people swarming into the porter.
I didn't see anything strange, but the breath seemed clearer to me.
Without hesitation, I didn't care about the thin men behind me, and ran to the door of Xu's house.
At the end of the day was a young man I didn't know, who looked at me in amazement.
"I'm from the Demolition and Relocation Office. I heard about Mr. Xu Guangzong's affairs and came to express my gratitude. I said quickly, trying to squeeze in past him.
However, there are a lot of people in this room.
There are five or six people in one hallway, and further inside is the mourning hall in the living room. There were more people in the living room.
I couldn't help but think of the people who walked by the window of the neighborhood committee more than an hour ago.
The fat man muttered before, why did so many strangers enter the community at this time.
But we didn't take it seriously at the time. I didn't feel anything unusual at that time.
Entering the room, the abnormal aura became even stronger.
I shuddered, tilted my head, craned my neck, and scanned the room inside.
On the opposite side of the mourning hall, in the corner of the ceiling, I saw a touch of blue.
