CHAPTER XXIX

29

After breakfast, the comrades-in-arms drove to the resting place of U Thant.

The cemetery is located on the northern outskirts of the city, about nine kilometers away.

As the car passes through the city, the expatriates look at the flat, wide, green roads and buildings with unique styles. It seems that the imprint of my childhood and student days will be hidden in my heart forever. People were in the car, reminiscing about the life of U Thant and the years of collective households. However, the story of Nuwa Niangniang's creation of people and sacrificing herself to make up for the sky suddenly came to Wu Yi's mind. Therefore, when Wu Yi and Wu Dan had a dialogue in the air, when Niangniang created a person, he always observed the dignity reflected in the water...... In the end, he had his own appearance from a different period. As a result, a thousand and lifelike people were born one after another. Niangniang injected everyone's mind and soul into it. She worked tirelessly, day and night. "People" are already all over the mountains and ravines, but she still doesn't stop. At this time, the sky was not beautiful, and the pouring rain was endless, and suddenly the ocean exploded, and the flood flooded, and the people created by the mother were swept into the ocean. But those who survived, after the baptism of battle, created a healthy life and rose spiritual power. Those who have endured hardships and escaped death are full of energy and confidence. Niangniang's order: Charge into battle one by one, and strive to make up for the sky with overwhelming momentum. The multicolored stones are used up, and if the loopholes are not filled in time, the previous efforts will be wasted. At this time, Niangniang waved her arms at the people and jumped forward. The leakage of the sky is filled, the sun shines on the earth, and everything is full of life......

Wu Yi knew Wu Dan's intention in telling this story. With the great feat of Nuwa Niangniang, there is the endless growth of the Chinese nation, the national spirit of destroying the withering and decaying, and finally in the new China thousands of years later, the people have stood up and become the masters. With a strong centripetal force, cohesion and fighting spirit, it stands in the world......

The car arrived at the cemetery, and everyone walked towards U Thant with a bouquet of flowers. Arriving at the tomb, people gazed at U Thant's smiling face and offered flowers in turn.

The last bouquet of carnations was dedicated to U Thant's mother-in-law.

"Auntie rest in peace!"

People gathered around U Thant.

"This picture looks like her the most." A comrade-in-arms pointed to the photo on the tombstone and said.

"It didn't change much when I died, it was the same as sleeping."

“…… Sudden illness does not torment people. ”

"In fact, human life is extremely fragile."

"It's not right, human life is extremely tenacious, if it is not for this sudden disease, it is also a stubborn disease."

"Everybody still has a loess in the end."

"We can't be so pessimistic, for thousands of years, everyone has gone through the process of life to death."

"Actually, a person is just a passer-by in a hurry, and there is no trace of it later."

"As the old saying goes, if you die, you die and you die."

"It's a real thing."

"How many square meters is her tomb?"

"Three square meters."

"It can accommodate five generations."

"This is a family, and in the fifth or sixth generation, there will be five blessings, and the family does not recognize the family, how did this statement come about?"

"This is a problem that only experts and scholars can explain."

"Yu Wei is an expert professor, you can talk about it."

Yu Wei smiled but did not answer.

Everyone chatted with Wu Dan for a while. Then, five people in a row, the head of the household of that year delivered a speech to U Thant on behalf of all members of the collective household. After mourning.

"Wu Dan," Wu Yi shouted, and said affectionately, "Fifteen household members lined up neatly, why did you fall behind?" His tone was somber, full of mixed feelings, full of sadness. Woohoo Wu Dan, now he is also gone, and he will die in his life and even be handed over. ”

Wu Yi said as he spoke, and Jing brought himself to the emotion of meeting Wu Dan for the first time.

The Office of Educated Youth conducts regular training for young people in rural areas. Strengthen ideological education, patriotism and communist ideals. Establish a correct outlook on life and values, and take root in the rural areas to carry out revolution. Wu Yi and Wu Dan met in this training class.

When they were students, Wu Yi and Wu Thant were not in the same school, and they were not in the same commune when they went to the countryside. But when Wu Dan saw Wu Yi, her mind was full of his shadow. When he was reading and studying, he read aloud in a low tone and frustration, which constantly infected every student. At the party, he recited the poems he wrote...... The half-month study was soon over, and the students returned to the collective household with the fruits of the harvest. When Wu Dan was working in the field, when he was resting in the field, he was Wu Yi's shadow. She came home and talked to her mother, who was a teacher. Her mother told her to act calmly, and young people are not allowed to fall in love openly in the countryside. She was playing tricks with her mother, "I don't care," she was afraid that her mother would be angry, "it can't be like this, right?" Mom didn't say anything more, just blindly stopped it. She told her father, who was born in the military, that she didn't expect her father to be her mother's words. Now she's out of options. Later, she finally came up with a good way and ran it herself, and successfully transferred to the commune and fell into the collective household where Wu Yizai was. The Commune's Educated Youth Office informed Wu Yi that he happily thought: The collective household has added new members. However, to Wu Dan's surprise, he met Wu Yi at the Commune's Educated Youth Office. So Wu Yi, Wu Dan and the comrades-in-arms who came to greet them returned to the collective household together in a carriage. The secretary of the brigade and the captain of the production team welcomed Wu Dan in the collective household. During the meal, Wu Dan listened to the warm words of the team secretary, the production captain, and her comrades-in-arms, and she felt the warmth of home.

Wu Yi stayed in the house for a night, and the next morning he went to work in the commune. Although Wu Thant was in the production team and Wu Yi was in the commune cultural station, the two of them were separated, but Wu returned to the collective household on Monday. It seems that with such regular meetings, U Thant is already very content.

"Let's make tea in cold water and slowly thicken." U Thant thought. Until Ding Zandong cut the queue to the collective household, breaking Wu Dan's naïve and naïve unrequited love.

Wu Yi and Ding Zandong fell in love at first sight. Ding Zandong's parents told her about this before she left for the countryside and designated her a commune. Although the two young people were kept in the dark, in the words of Wu Yi's joke, they were waiting for Ding Zandong. Either he went to the countryside for two years, and he never moved to have so many excellent comrades-in-arms and rural girls. When I saw Ding Zandong, it was like a torrent that opened the floodgates. U Thant was dumbfounded. Maybe her parents' words of comfort have always been a problem in her heart? Otherwise, before Ding Zandong, she would be bolder and say why she changed her account or go further and talk to him. Only reluctance will only make mistakes, and after remorse, there is only self-blame.

Wu Yi's mind returned to the scene, and he continued. "Lord Wu mistook the fate of the world in this life, and Dan Zhu Xinsheng returned to his dreams."

"What a kind and sensible poem." Comrades-in-arms are judging the first thing.

Therefore, the sobbing of comrades-in-arms is the feeling and affection of the soul, as if they are in that wasted years and stick to the deceased side by side.

Wu Yi's words made his comrades-in-arms both excited and sentimental. Twice and again brings people to the pictures that once existed, constantly alternating in their minds. Ding Zandong remembered what Wu Dan said to her, "Zandong, for the sake of the children, we can only do this. ”

All along, U Thant and her husband have a stable relationship, a harmonious family, and mutual respect and love. With children, the two of them put their focus on their children and work, and their lives were dull and happy. When their children were in junior high school, her husband was promoted to bureau chief. There is a graduate student staff in this bureau about 30, after the director arrived, she gradually swelled, planned for a while, and finally got along with the director, and repeatedly reiterated to the director: never destroy the family. U Thant's husband never dreamed that a pie would fall from the sky. Anyone will enjoy the free lunch, and she has never been married, so she is a little beautiful. So, after thinking about it, the director calmly had a showdown with Wu Dan. Although it was difficult for U Thant to accept this fact, the harsh reality had to be faced. After going through the torment and torture, Wu Thant finally let go. For the sake of their children, the two of them took a step back, and the family was not separated, but neither of them interfered in anyone's "internal affairs and foreign affairs." The most intimate words that Wu Thant and Ding Zandong said, "People have to accept their fate." ”

Wu Yi's words stopped, and his comrades-in-arms raised their heads, exhaled, and licked their tightly pursed lips with their tongues. Then Wu Yi said in a high-spirited tone: "When you are old and conscious, everyone is exhausted, who cares whether people are right or wrong, there is still spring coming, it is a matter of love, only flowers bloom." He breathed a sigh of relief.

"May the departed rest in peace!"

The emotion of grief makes people weak and palpitating. As they left, everyone said goodbye to U Thant in their own way.
