In the emcee's "condolences", Xue Xiang let go of the little guy's little hand, and more than a dozen people in the first row of them walked to the glass coffin together, looking at the remains. But I saw that the old man looked serene, his head was black, a wide red flag covered his chest, and he was dressed in a gray and white tunic with a collar of hair, which was neatly buttoned, and his face was natural, as if he was asleep. In the mourning music, Xue Xiang bowed down with everyone in unison. The little one was obedient to his command, and bowed with him.
Xue Xiang didn't know that at this moment, the eyes of hundreds of people fell on the little guy, just because, looking at the entire hall, there was only this one doll, and the dress was cute and dignified. The little guy is already pink-carved, with purple shorts and short sleeves revealing fat little arms and calves, and a wide red scarf like a scarf tied around his neck, like a group of decaying and old angels, how can it not be conspicuous?
The old man who presided over the ceremony saw that the little guy was so well-behaved and cute, and his heart moved. Whose family mourns the deceased, and no children and grandchildren participate? The farewell ceremony of the old man, how can there be a lack of dolls, and it is a loss to have a little girl to support the field, otherwise it is really a big negligence. Thinking of this, the old man's eyes became more and more gentle when he looked at the little one.
When Xue Xiang Yuguang saw the little guy beside him saluting obediently, his hanging heart relaxed slightly. Unexpectedly, at this moment, something happened abruptly. After the little guy finished saluting, he straightened up his little body, glanced curiously at the glass coffin, his eyes could no longer be moved, his big eyes widened, and he said with a small mouth: "Big brother, why is this grandfather asleep?" The little guy listened to Xue Xiang's instructions before, and never looked into the glass coffin, and when he straightened up, he finally couldn't help but be curious, and saw a grandfather lying on the glass bed, when she had seen such a scene, she couldn't help but ask.
The little guy's voice was still childish and crisp, but it was like thunder in Xue Xiang's ears, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. The little guy's voice was not loud, but in this hall full of silence, only low mournful music, it seemed to be so deafening that everyone could hear it clearly. The master of ceremonies on the side was so frightened that he couldn't close his open mouth anymore, and he couldn't get out after the salute to his mouth.
Xue Xiang's brain turned quickly, and it was also a loss that he was a complex of contradictions, if he was a junior clerk in his previous life, he would have been paralyzed by fright when he encountered this situation. As early as the moment when the little guy spoke, he knew that something bad was going to happen, every word of the little guy was imprinted in his heart, and after careful analysis, as soon as the little guy's voice fell, he picked it up: "Grandpa has worked hard for the country all his life, tired, of course he has to rest, come, salute grandpa." β
The little guy didn't ask any more questions, and obediently performed a Young Pioneer salute, which he learned from the third brother, and she only remembered that the salute was like this. After the little guy finished saluting, not only Xue Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but countless people in the audience breathed a sigh of relief. The master of ceremonies on the side, I don't know how many times he wiped the sweat on his head, he kept looking at the old man who presided over the ceremony in the center, but there was no information from there.
The master of ceremonies didn't speak, and Xue Xiang couldn't leave, just wanted to drag the little guy and pull her to his side, but he didn't expect the little guy to move his calves and run away, and the sound of the little leather shoes clicking on the marble floor was like a drum in everyone's hearts. Xue Xiang is about to collapse, even if he is a complex of contradictions, his heart is not iron. He gritted his teeth and endured it so that he didn't pass out. He didn't dare to chase the little guy in the past, such a solemn scene, how could he allow a young man to run after him?
The little guy only felt that the old man was very lonely when he slept alone, although his bed and quilt were beautiful, but there was no space around him. The master of ceremonies saw the little guy running in front of the rostrum, and was about to wave to the guards to carry her down, but the old man on the rostrum waved at him and made a negative gesture. The master of ceremonies understood, and put down his raised hand. The little guy ran to the center of the rostrum, where there were many white and elegant chrysanthemums and lilies, the little guy bent down to report a bunch, and ran back again, carefully placed it next to the glass coffin, and then returned to Xue Xiang's side.
The whole set of actions of the little guy took several minutes, the whole rostrum was silent, even the non-stop mourning music stopped playing for a moment, and hundreds of eyes fell on her in unison, and no one dared to make a sound, and no one dared to stop it. Until the little guy returned to Xue Xiang's side, the mourning music played again.
Xue Xiang grabbed the little guy's little hand tightly, if he didn't have his senses, he was afraid that he would crush the little guy's hand. Rao used a small amount of force, and the little one's little hand still felt pain, and he struggled with his hand. Xue Xiang noticed the little guy's movements, and hurriedly reduced his strength, for fear that his aunt and grandmother would not go well and make some trouble.
The master of ceremonies was in a similar mood to Xue Xiang at this time, only kneeling and begging all over the gods and Buddhas to give way to the little ancestor not to make trouble again, even if he was an atheist, he decided to believe it once. It seemed that his request was heard by the gods and Buddhas, and the little guy returned to Xue Xiang's side and did not move again. The master of ceremonies couldn't wait to shout "Finish the ceremony", Xue Xiang pulled the little guy and hurriedly walked to the front, and got off the rostrum in three steps and two steps.
The little guy also seemed to sense the nervousness of the eldest brother, and he didn't make a fuss until the end of the farewell ceremony, and sat obediently in Xue Xiang's arms. After the commemoration was completed, the main leaders spoke, recalling the great and glorious life of the old man. The whole farewell ceremony did not end until 1 p.m.
As soon as the ceremony was over, Xue Xiang couldn't wait to leave, even if the office arranged lunch, he didn't want to participate, preferring to go back hungry to eat. Cui Yuyu had explained before, saying that after lunch, he would be responsible for sending it back. But where can Xue Xiang wait, he is about to go out with the little guy in his arms.
He had just walked to the hall, but was stopped by a female voice, "Is it Comrade Xue?" Wait a minute. β
Xue Xiang turned his head and saw a man and a woman striding towards him, the man was about forty years old, the woman was twenty-seven or eighteen, holding a red box in her hand, both of them were dressed in work clothes, very similar to Cui Yuyu's dress. Could it be that the little guy has already made a conclusion about the mess and needs to deal with it? Xue Xiang began to think crankily in his mind, but his footsteps stopped and asked, "What's the matter?" β
The female comrade said: "Comrade Xue, hello, I am Ma Su, the secretary of the Second Office of the General Office, and this is Director Liu Guocheng of our Second Division. β
Liu Guocheng took Ma Su's words and said: "Comrade Xue, this is the case, I am ordered by the funeral committee to give gifts to the children around you, the children's performance at the ceremony this time, so that the committee was greatly moved, the committee ordered me to give this fountain pen to the children, wishing her to study hard and become a pillar of the motherland as soon as possible." With that, he took the red box from Ma Su's hand and handed it to the little one.
The little guy didn't get Xue Xiang's little face for a long time, and he was sullen all the time, but when he saw Xue Xiang nodding with a smile, he was relieved, and he took the box handed by Liu Guocheng with both hands, and bowed, which was considered a return gift. Liu Guocheng touched the little guy's head, exchanged a few words with Xue Xiang, and led Ma Su away.
The little guy handed the box to Xue Xiang, and Xue Xiang held it in his hand before carefully looking at the box. The red box is about 20 centimeters long and about 5 centimeters wide, and when you touch it in your hand, you can't tell the material, you only know that it is not wooden, but it is not aluminum or iron. He picked up the card first, only to see that it was written: I wish Xue Shi's children progress in their studies and grow strongly. Then there is no name, only a surname. The committee's movements were very fast, and he knew the name of the little guy so quickly, Xue Xiang held the card and exclaimed in his heart. He stared at a few more surnames, thought about it, and was taken aback suddenly, these surnames represent famous people.
Xue Xiang put the pen back in the box, picked up the little guy, and strode forward, he didn't want to stay in this place for a moment.
As soon as he left the hall, he saw Jiang Chaotian leaning against the pillar in front of the door, looking at him with a smile.
"Jiang Dashao, if you don't go to dinner, what are you doing here, are you waiting for my brother on purpose?" Xue Xiang asked knowingly.
Jiang Chaotian stood up straight and walked closer: "Staff Officer Xue, it's a blessing to have such a lovely sister." However, I admire your courage even more, in this case, you actually dare to bring a doll. β
Xue Xiang was hungry, and the little guy was always shouting that he was hungry, how could he have the time to talk nonsense with him, and said: "Jiang Dashao, if you have something to say, when I see you, it's all grinding and chirping, brother, I'm very hungry, if it's okay, I'll go to eat." β
"It's good to eat, brother, I'm invited, anyway, it's not the first time. There is an imperial kitchen in the auditorium, but the atmosphere here is not a place to eat, let's go outside, where to choose, you choose! Jiang Chaotian made a big deal, as if Xue Xiang had agreed.
Xue Xiang shook his head and said: "Come on, it's not appropriate to eat anywhere at this time, the impact is not good, I'd rather go home and drink bean juice, if you have something to say, I really don't want to be poor here with you." β
Jiang Chaotian saw that Xue Xiang didn't let go, so he simply didn't talk nonsense, "Do you know that your sister has made a lot of noise this time, and I am shocked to see it above, it's too scary." I don't admire you for anything else, but I admire your luck, it is said that such a big move should have caused a big disaster, but the old men who are always noisy have surprisingly unanimous opinions this time, saying what 'pure heart, enough to comfort the leader', and your words are also wonderful, the behavior of the little guy is perfectly connected, and the brother has to say admiration again. He had already said that he admired Xue Xiang's courage, and now he admired Xue Xiang's wonderful answer, and there were some people in the middle who didn't admire anything, only admired Xue Xiang's luck, and Xue Xiang was stunned for a while.
The little guy frowned when he heard Jiang Chaotian say foul language before, thinking that this big brother was really impolite, and then he heard him praise himself, so he changed his perception of him, and he was very proud of his thoughts, and he actually made a grimace at Jiang Chaotian in Xue Xiang's arms, which made Jiang Chaotian cry and laugh.
Xue Xiang rubbed the little guy's head and said, "Jiang Dashao made a special trip to tell Brother SΓΉ the news?" I am full of enthusiasm for that brother, and I will say goodbye, and I will not send it, and I will see you back. β
"Don't don't, don't do it, there's something serious, there's really something serious, one minute, one more minute for my brother." Jiang Chaotian saw that Xue Xiang was about to move, where could he still hold it, anyway, talking to this kid, you don't want to seize the initiative.
"Does General An have a plan? Time is running out. Jiang Chaotian finally confided the truth.
"I am a little staff officer, how can I have the opportunity to participate in such a confidential matter, you think highly of me." Xue Xiang played the same old tune again. He did go to Songzhuzhai a few times during this time, but it was the old general who called him to invite him to play chess, and as for the last time Jiang Chaotian talked to him in Lao Mo, he didn't mention it to the old general at all. Jiang Chaotian's idea, Xue Xiang was clear. Jiang Chaotian just hoped that Xue Xiang would come forward and say that General An Lao, and then he would make a pandering gesture, in a vain attempt to exchange for An Lao's support at the lowest cost. How could Xue Xiang be fooled, even if General An really chose to go to a dead end as in history, Xue Xiang also had time to admonish, at this time, it was Jiang Chaotian's side that was in a hurry, not himself, of course he was waiting for him to bid.
"Brother, what you say, every time you talk about something serious, you take it out and talk about it, is it interesting?" Jiang Chaotian didn't remember that this guy was so perfunctory in Lao Mo last time, it seems that the situation is not good.
"Hehe, I'm used to it, I'm just used to it, but I have to say that this set of words works a lot, doesn't it?" Looking at Jiang Chaotian's embarrassment, Xue Xiang couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, Brother Xue, I won't talk to you in the vernacular. Since you don't like my statement, someone will go to Songzhuzhai in person in the near future, and then I hope that Brother Xue will have a lot of good words, Yucheng This matter, I will be very thankful. This is what Jiang Chaotian really meant, last time he tried out a trace of intention from Xue Xiang (in fact, Xue Xiang deliberately revealed it to him), this time he naturally still hit Xue Xiang with his idea. From the last time An Lao tried to protect Xue Xiang at the meeting, he noticed that this person's weight in An Lao's heart was not ordinary, and he was not just a nominal staff officer, but also an ordinary character with himself. However, whether the guess is right or wrong, there is no harm in playing this card for him, and he knows that Xue Xiang probably will not look at the victory over there, after all, his family has fallen into such a situation, and it is impossible to reconcile with that side. What's more, he doesn't really want An to come over, but he just wants to make the play more serious.
"Whether it is successful or not, and it depends on the will of God, the gift is ready." Xue Xiang made a look of a philistine, and still didn't say anything. With that, he strode away with the little one in his arms. Of course, he won't go to General An Lao now, if he speaks now, maybe it will shake An Lao's mind to a dead end. He really needs An Lao's stubborn spirit of not hitting the south wall and not looking back, squeezing out the maximum benefits from Jiang Chaotian's side, and then he will come forward to analyze the situation for the old man, and do his best to pull the old man onto the track he booked. If the old man still plans to go to the dark alley, he can only cry out in vain and find a way to get out. However, he asked himself if he had the confidence to say that he was so kind to himself, didn't he value his own appearance, which showed that the old man still agreed in his heart, and confided in himself when he played chess with him for the first time. His overall view has been shown in front of the old man, and he will not turn a blind eye.
Xue Xiang hugged the little guy and went to take care of himself, Jiang Chaotian looked at his distant back, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
