Forty round

In six or eight years, a lot of things happened around Lilac.

First, the lame father who was over 80 years old passed away, and then the blind mother-in-law at home also left. Another thing is that he is blessed not to be a custodian, he took over the class of Captain Xia Sheng, and the Chen branch secretary of the brigade is old, and he retired honorably, and when he retired, he recommended the young and strong Zheng Zongde to the secretary of the commune to succeed him as the branch secretary. What makes Lilac happy is that she is rich and has a family, and Wu Ying's sister-in-law is the matchmaker who married the eldest daughter of her mother's Cao Yifu.

Thinking of the fact that he almost gave Zou Long to the Cao family as a cub when he didn't have a baby, Lilac said with emotion, my in-laws wanted to support Zou Long in my house back then, and I didn't want to send my daughter to my house as a daughter-in-law today, which is God has long destined us to be a house!

The lame father passed in February, and when the lilac came home for the New Year on the fifth day of the first month, he insisted on letting the blessed brothers use a sedan chair to carry the lame father to the house.

The jade master who began to be lame didn't want to trouble Lilac, and then he couldn't stand Lilac and said, I used to have no ability to work, but now I earn more labor in the house, and my life is better, Dad, if you don't come to live in my house for a while, I will regret it for the rest of my life when you are old!

Looking at the young girl with tears in her eyes full of sincerity, Yushi Ye was moved, and said: "Sister Man, you have been suffering for half a lifetime, seeing that you are living a good life now, I am happy to be a father!" Come on, thanks to you, I'll go to your house for a few days, and I'll be treated as if I went to your house to say goodbye! ”

When Lilac heard this, she hurriedly replied: "Dad, don't talk about the road, your old man is still early, and you will have to go to my house to live a few more times in the future!" Although it is said that the married woman spills out the water, the daughter is also half of it! Filial piety can't be talked about, and I should have adopted my daughter for eighteen years! ”

It turned out that Jade Shiye planned to only stay in the lilac house for three or two days and then go home, but that year, the spring was cold and the rain and snow were frequent, since the jade Shiye went to the lilac house, the heavy snow fell for three or five days, and then scattered light snow, until the first month of the twenties.

Lilac mother-in-law was blind and lived alone, and the arrival of her in-laws made her very happy, so the lame Jade Lord and the blind in-laws talked about their own family routines in the house every day, chatting about the past of their respective families, and local anecdotes. When talking about the autumn birth, the two old men were teary-eyed, and when they talked about the difficulty of lilac for half a lifetime, the two old men felt pity!

In the evening, it was even more lively, when the grandchildren gathered together after school, and Jade Shi Ye gave full play to his well-informed strengths in his youth, telling all kinds of strange stories and passing on books. Especially when talking about the story, the surrounding neighbors of all ages were attracted to come, Lilac set up a brazier in the hall, the blind mother-in-law and Hu Gui'e played tea to entertain everyone, and the legendary biography was listened to with great relish.

Later, when Yu Shiye went home in February, the surrounding neighbors were reluctant, and when he left, he sent a lot of gifts to Jade Shiye, and Jade Shiye, who was sitting on the sedan pole, was full of various items. Many years later, when the young and old of the twelfth team talked about the jade master, they all said that the old gentleman was amazing, don't look at him when he is old and lame, he was a character when he was young!

Yu Shiye passed away half a month after returning home, and he was very peaceful when he left, he died in a dream while lying on the couch during the day, and Xu Zong found that there was still a trace of a smile on his old father's dead face!

Lilac later said that her father loved her the most in her early years, but fortunately she insisted on letting the blessed and noble brothers carry her father to stay for a few days, otherwise she would feel indebted and uneasy for the rest of her life!

During the funeral of Lilac's father, Lilac received the news from Xuzong that Ziyang had cut himself off from the people. Shocked and grieving, Lilac couldn't figure it out, how could a good commune secretary not think of suicide?!

According to Xu Zong, Ziyang served as the secretary of the Baiying Commune for more than ten years, and went through the hard years from the People's Commune to the Great Movement.

After Yao Zhipeng was shot by the people's government, Yao Yan and Xiangqin's widow Yao Ning became an orphan, and Ziyang adopted him when he saw Yao Ning alone. Later, Yao Ning fought for his anger and joined the army after graduating from high school.

A few years later, the frontier was encroached upon, and Yao Ning's unit participated in the border counterattack. Yao Ning, who was already the squad leader at the time, inherited Yao Yan's witty, brave, and martial genes. In the battle, when only four people were lost in the battle with the whole squad lost, they decisively continued to penetrate the enemy's rear and accidentally bumped into one of the enemy's artillery positions. Looking at the enemy's black hole in the darkness and pointing at the artillery in the direction of our army, Yao Ning thought calmly for a moment, and held a temporary pre-war meeting with the remaining four comrades-in-arms in the rocky bushes.

After the plan was properly arranged, Yao Ning and the others divided into two groups, taking advantage of the darkness to rush and attack the enemy's artillery position. In the panic, the enemy thought that the Chinese army had made dumplings, so everyone only hated his father and mother for growing two legs, and fled indiscriminately to form an army, and Yao Ning personally killed a major officer on the other side during the pursuit.

Early the next morning, the large troops who had rushed up in a roundabout way were happy to see Yao Ning and the seven or eight intact cannons they had captured, and the battalion commander who led the team immediately praised Yao Ning and a few of them. After the battalion commander contacted his superiors through the radio, he decided to turn the muzzle of the gun on the spot, adjusted the firing of Zhu Yuan, and then opened fire on the enemy infantry gathering place more than 10 kilometers away.

After the army returned to China, Yao Ning was awarded a first-class personal merit, and a few months later he was selected by the army to enter the Kunming Army Military Academy for further study, and now he is a company commander of the army.

There is a deputy secretary named Liu Zixuan in the commune where Ziyang works, who usually works actively but has rough working methods and is small-minded. He often disagreed with Ziyang when he worked on weekdays, and after the accident, Ziyang reported directly to the county that he did not cover up and exonerate, and after the suspension was punished, he was depressed and thought that Ziyang deliberately used the topic to volatilize and punish him, and since then he has a grudge against Ziyang in his heart.

After a few years of hibernation, Liu Zixuan, who regained power, became the deputy director.

The villain gained power, and Liu Zixuan, who was born with evil and courage, actually stretched out his hand to Yao Ning, who was serving in the southwest border, to bring down Wang Ziyang.

In a certain department in the southwest, Yao Ning, as a company commander, was preparing to lead the troops for winter training. His partner instructor came back from the battalion headquarters, and when he entered the house, he looked a little different from the past, he hesitated for a moment, and said in a helpless whisper: "Old Yao, you put aside the work at hand for the time being, and hand over the winter training to Deputy Company Commander Li." You go to the regiment headquarters immediately, and Political Commissar Wang has something to tell you......"

Yao Ning didn't care, and joked, "Old man, why do you want me to go to the regiment headquarters, it won't be a matter of some small situation in the company's training last time, right?" Through the wind, I'm so prepared. Commissar Wang, you know, criticize people mercilessly......"

"Thinking too much, it's normal for a training soldier to be a little injured, isn't it a long talk about training more in peacetime and less bloodshed in wartime? You'll know what to do. ”

"Hey, what's so mysterious, it's not like your brother's character, okay, obey the order, I'll go to the regiment headquarters immediately." Oh, I'll tell you about the winter training......"

After finishing speaking, he explained the work with Instructor Liu.

After explaining the work, Yao Ning resigned and went to the regiment headquarters. Instructor Liu was different from the past and personally sent him to take a ride. Seeing this, Yao Ning joked: "Instructor, what's wrong with you today, my mother-in-law and mother are very boring, and I'm not on the front line?!"

Instructor Liu smiled awkwardly, didn't say anything, turned around and left.

Yao Ning, who was sitting in the car, looked at the instructor who was going away, and muttered: "What's wrong with Lao Liu today......

Yao Ning went to the regiment headquarters, and Political Commissar Wang was talking to the instructors of the first battalion. As soon as he saw Yao Ning, he said to the instructor: "You go to the regiment commander first, I have something to talk to Company Commander Yao......

Yao Ning said hello to the instructor, and he went out.

Political Commissar Wang didn't have the same thing as being scolded on the road, his expression was a little heavy, but he greeted Yao Ning in a very gentle tone, and said, "Company Commander Yao, sit, I have something important to convey to you......"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and took out a document from the filing cabinet, handed it to Yao Ning, and said, "This is from the place, you see, about your ......"

Yao Ning was a little puzzled, took the document and looked at it carefully.

It was a document about Yao Ning's family situation transferred by the Anhua County Party Committee, which told the fact that Yao Ning's grandfather was a bureaucratic landlord and a pseudo-county magistrate, and he was shot by the people's government with blood debts, and Yao Ning's father was a Kuomintang officer. The document also said that Yao Ning joined the army as the adopted son of Wang Ziyang, the deputy head of Baiying Commune, and concealed his original family composition, and was suspected of passing the political trial in a foolish manner. At the end of the document, it is hoped that the troops will deal with Yao Ning accordingly according to the facts.

For many years, the worries that had hung in Yao Ning's heart finally happened. He looked at it word by word, not saying a word.

Political Commissar Wang was a little regretful, walked over, patted Yao Ning on the shoulder, and comforted: "You are the backbone of my regiment, and we only know about this matter." Yao Ning, I announce the decision of the Party Committee of the Youth League Headquarters to temporarily leave the post of commander and accept the investigation of the organization......"

During the investigation, Yao Ning carefully wrote a detailed debate material on his personal family and social relations.

Based on Yao Ning's materials, the leaders of the unit sent a special officer to Anhua to investigate and verify.

At the investigation seminar of the county party committee, Secretary Wang, who rose from the Red Star Commune to the county magistrate, sought truth from facts and defended Yao Ning.

The fact that Yao Ning's grandfather, Yao Zhipeng, was a reactionary puppet county magistrate and his hands were stained with the blood of Communist Party members is beyond doubt, but Yao Ning's father, Yao Yan, was an anti-Japanese soldier and had never committed the crime of fighting a civil war against the people.

County Magistrate Wang also found a piece of evidence that was extremely favorable to Yao Ning, Yao Ning's mother Xiangqin joined the Jiangbei New Fourth Army after Yao Yan was martyred, and was injured by the Japanese army in the anti-sweep and drowned in the river, Yao Ning is a descendant of martyrs.

After comprehensive research and research by the army and the locality, the final conclusion was that Yao Ning belonged to the descendants of anti-Japanese martyrs who got rid of the bourgeois background of his original family, and he was raised in Ziyang, an underground party member of the red descendants, since he was a child, and he was politically reliable. After the conclusion came down, Wang Ziyang escaped, and Yao Ning was reinstated, and a year later he was promoted to the deputy battalion commander of a certain department.

Liu Zixuan, who learned the conclusion, was a little disappointed, but his heart was deeply connected with Ziyang. Ziyang also learned the truth from County Magistrate Wang, and since then he has been more cautious and cautious against him.

Even in the day and night prevention, Ziyang still let Liu Zixuan catch the shortcomings.

At that time, there was a place called Xianfeng Brigade under Baiying Commune, and the branch secretary of the brigade was called Wen Yufeng. Wen Yufeng is upright and loyal, and he is valued by Ziyang on weekdays, and the two have formed a deep friendship. Wen Yufeng's wife Yao Xiuli is the eldest daughter of Hu Gui'e's original husband Yao Wuqiang, in the same village as Ziyang.

That Yao Xiuli has a hot temper, her mouth is big, and there is a lot of noise between husband and wife. But the misfortune came from Yao Xiuli's big mouth, which put her husband in prison and took Ziyang's life.

That incident was when Yao Xiuli gave birth to her youngest daughter in the township health center, because she was not ready to burn paper, Wen Yufeng, who was a little flustered, took the People's Daily newspaper with the photos of senior leaders subscribed by the health center and put it under Yao Xiuli's buttocks. After giving birth to her daughter, when Wen Yufeng cleaned up, he easily stuffed the newspaper stained with his wife's production blood into the table drawer next to him.

During the confinement, because Wen Yufeng was busy with the renovation of the terraces in Baiying Village, he was so busy that he neglected Yao Xiuli on weekdays.

Once, Wang Ziyang, the leader of the commune, and a group of people went to Baiying Village to inspect and accept the terraced work, and Wen Yufeng, as the secretary of the brigade, was busy until 2 o'clock in the afternoon to complete the acceptance work, and went home to cook for his wife who was confined. At that time, Ziyang and the others were also hungry, so they planned to go to Wen Yufeng's house for a light lunch at work.

As soon as Wen Yufeng returned to the house, Yao Xiuli, who was coaxing a noisy child on the bed and hungry, was irritated and angry, and regardless of Secretary Wang's presence, she opened her mouth and scolded: "You guy with a bad conscience, regardless of the guests, you have to take care of your bloody dysentery!" Do you want to starve us two?! ”

Wen Yufeng saw that Yao Xiuli felt faceless in front of many leaders, so he scolded loudly: "Don't you just give birth to a girl, that is, if you give birth to an emperor, you will die if you have a meal late?!" When Yao Xiuli heard the grievances in her heart, she became even more angry, and she actually cried, complaining about her bitterness in front of the leaders, and counting all kinds of things that Wen Yufeng was not doing.

Ziyang comforted Yao Xiuli and criticized Wen Yufeng a few words by the way. Wen Yufeng didn't squeak after being criticized, and went back to the kitchen to get food.

Yao Xiuli saw Wen Yufeng go out, so she said to Ziyang: "Uncle Ziyang, you came to my house for dinner today, I shouldn't have lost my temper like this, it's just that Lao Wen is sometimes too presumptuous to do things. Now I know that if your leaders want to come, they should make more food in the morning or be in the house, you see that at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, my mother-in-law can't drink a sip of water with her cubs. Take this time I was in pain for a long time, and the shadows of other people's ghosts appeared, and then I couldn't stand it, and my mother's family sent it to the health center. When he hurried over, he had a pair of bare hands, and he didn't know how many to buy when he gave birth to this girl......

When Ziyang heard this, he hurriedly interrupted Yao Xiuli and said: "A man's family has a man's business, it's not that my uncle will talk about you, it's not easy for your woman's family to be more considerate of the man's family doing things outside!" There's still a newspaper that can't be talked about, you know?! Yao Xiuli understood that she was speechless at this time, so she stopped arguing.

After eating, Ziyang and the leaders of the commune said goodbye and went back.

On the way back, Liu Zixuan, who was also the leader of the commune, secretly wrote down the fact that Wen Yufeng had printed a photo newspaper on his wife, and wondered how to catch Wen Yufeng and Wang Ziyang. Back in front of the commune compound, Liu Zixuan broke up with Ziyang and them under the pretext of going to his brother-in-law's house for some things.

After breaking up with Ziyang and them, Liu Zixuan hurried to the commune health center.

When he entered the door, he couldn't catch the cold and bumped into Yang Geng'e, an obstetrician and gynecologist in the health center. Yang Geng'e was about to scold, but when she looked up and saw that it was Deputy Director Liu, she asked with a smile on her face: "Director Liu sees that you are in a hurry, what is the matter with your urgency?!"

Liu Zixuan glanced at it, and his mind turned to have an idea, so he asked by the way: "Oh, Xiao Yang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Look at my anxiety, did I hurt you just now?! Well, that's the case, which ward did the wife of the Wen branch secretary live in Baiying Village last time, the Wen branch secretary was in a panic on weekdays, and the last time his wife gave birth to a daughter, he took a document from the commune, and when he came back, his hands were empty and he didn't know where to go? I'm going to ask him about it today, and he's in a hurry to get on an errand, and wants me to come and see if it's lost in your hospital? ”

When Yang Geng'e heard this, she recalled it and said, "Director Liu, Wen Zhishu's wife gave birth in the second ward on the left, why don't you go find it?"

Liu Zixuan thanked Yang Geng'e and went straight to Yao Xiuli's delivery room, and when he opened the drawer, he was ecstatic when he saw that the newspaper stained with Yao Xiuli's blood was still there. After carefully folding the newspaper, he hurriedly left the hospital, and couldn't wait to find Chen Ziqiu, the county director.

Chen Ziqiu was also excited when he saw the blood dried up and dark red, and there was a newspaper with a portrait of the leader. He stood up, paced back and forth a few times, thought for a long time, and said slowly: "Just by virtue of this, Wen Yufeng is in prison, but Wang Ziyang is so easy to break down, you should remember how County Magistrate Wang protected him last time!" It's a bit far-fetched to rely on him to cover up and conceal Wen Yufeng's charge of insulting the leader, in case he doesn't admit it, Yao Xiuli doesn't admit to saying it, how can he be treated in the county? ! Liu Zixuan was a little disappointed when he heard this, and hung his head and was silent.

After a while, Chen Ziqiu, who was smoking, suddenly snuffed out the cigarette butt excitedly, slapped his thigh and said: "Yes, I suddenly remembered that my uncle who worked in the county government said that Wang Ziyang looked for Yao Zhipeng when he was in trouble and went home, and my uncle said that Yao Zhipeng let him go for the sake of Wang Ziyang and Yao Yan's life and death!" Wang Ziyang, as a repeat offender back then, clearly marked the price when he was seven or eight years old, and offered a reward of 8 yuan for a pound of meat, would it be so easy to let him go at that time? ! Yes, tomorrow I will go to the county archives to look for it, maybe I can find something boring? ”

Uncle Chen Ziqiu is the captain Chen who caught the jade master in Lilac back then, as soon as he thought of this, Chen Ziqiu and Liu Zixuan suddenly became energetic, and rushed to the county early the next morning.

After explaining their intentions, the staff of the archives did not dare to slack off, and immediately led Liu Zixuan and the two into the archives to look for them. After some searching, Liu Zixuan finally found what he wanted, which was a letter of repentance stamped with the county government's big seal and signed the names of Yao Zhipeng and Wang Ziyang respectively.

Liu Zixuan, who was ecstatic at that time, held the documents in his hands and turned around the archivist with both hands. At that time, the custodian who was beaten as a rightist and was transferred to the archives was stunned, and some panicked thinking that he had made a big mistake, and after turning around twice, everyone was frightened.

When he put it down, his feet went weak and he collapsed on the ground. Liu Zixuan didn't care about it, picked up Chen Ziqiu and went straight to the county party committee and county government!

After the meeting, the county public security bureau directly drove Liu Zixuan and they rushed to Baiying Commune overnight, and directly handcuffed Wen Yufeng and Wang Ziyang in the bed, and returned to the county public security bureau.

Looking at Wang Ziyang, who was handcuffed, Teacher Yang didn't know what bad things her husband had done, and she was so anxious that she cried on the spot. Wang Ziyang did not know what mistake he had made, and repeatedly asked the county public security what crime he had committed, but the public security officers did not elaborate, but only said that he had been arrested on the orders of the county party committee, and he would know what was going on when he went.

Wang Ziyang took the risk, so he had to comfort Teacher Yang with a wry smile and said, "It's a risk!" I think the Public Security Bureau made a mistake, and if you have the opportunity to talk to County Magistrate Wang, you will take the risk! ”

It was this sentence to talk to County Magistrate Wang, which actually pulled County Magistrate Wang in, and pushed Ziyang to the point of no return.

The county party committee, the county government, and the county ** will set up a joint working group. After more than two months of intense struggle, a capitalist line hidden in the proletarian people's power in Anhua County was unearthed. The county magistrate headed by Wang is a representative figure, including Wang Ziyang, Wen Yufeng, and more than 20 cadres at all levels of the county, commune, and brigade.

During the review process, Mr. Yang tried his best to go to the county public security bureau to meet Ziyang regardless of his suspicions. I haven't seen him for more than 20 days, and the usually cheerful and masculine Ziyang's hair is messy, his beard is in a trance, and his body is still limping when he walks into the reception room, and it seems that he has suffered a lot of crimes. Seeing Ziyang's appearance, Mr. Yang ignored the public security officers guarding him, rushed over and hugged Ziyang and cried, asking what was going on.

Ziyang hugged his beloved lover, and said that he couldn't help it, and then talked about him and Liu Zixuan going to Wen Yufeng's house, and finally said with emotion: "I want my Wang Ziyang to revolutionize all my life, and finally the boat capsized in the gutter and was planted in the hands of the surname Liu!" It's really a response to the ancient adage of 'rather be a gentleman than a villain'! When I returned to my hometown in refuge, it was true that I had concealed the organization and affected County Magistrate Wang, and I felt ashamed! Cousin, we have been married for nearly 20 years, and you know best what kind of person my Wang Ziyang is! I said that I betrayed the Kuomintang and became a spy, and I would not admit it to death, because when I liberated the county seat, I did a lot of work for the party as an underground party. Think about the time when I met you in 49 years, you were an active female student of Anshi, and I was an underground party, we met together, distributed leaflets, and mobilized the masses to do revolution, and I didn't want to end up like this today! No matter what happens in the future, you will always remember that I, Wang Ziyang, have never betrayed the party and violated the interests of the people! I am very happy and satisfied that you have come to see me today! Promise me, take care of yourself, I can't count on it! ”

Teacher Yang looked at her husband who was familiar with her day and night, listened to Ziyang's almost last words, shook her head desperately in heartache, and cried in her mouth: "No, the case will be decided if the matter is so risky!" It's a big deal that I learn from Yang Naiwu's second sister, and I have to seek justice for you when I go to Beijing to roll the nail board! Ziyang didn't speak, and stroked the hair of the woman he loved.

The time to pick up the attendant passed quickly, and the lame Ziyang reluctantly returned to the prison under the urging of the public security guards. When he walked to the exit of the reception room, he suddenly turned around and smiled at Teacher Yang, patted his heart with one hand, pointed at Teacher Yang's heart with the other, and then cooperated with both hands.

Looking at Ziyang in the distance, Mr. Yang's heart was broken.

That night, Ziyang bit his tongue and committed suicide, leaving a few blood-drenched characters on the mottled walls of the prison: 'Wang Ziyang will never betray the party'.

Two months later, Mr. Wang was sent to work for many years, for which Mr. Wen was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

When Lilac heard the news of Ziyang's death, she was heartbroken. Thinking of the past when he was a child with Ziyang in the school, Lilac saw him who was a little shy and swollen and called his aunt with a red face when he was at the same table; In the Wulei Cave, Ziyang was nervous and concerned and explained with a dirty face, Aunt Man, please don't come, my father said something that will affect you. A child is an adult and sensible; During the difficult period, when Lilac and Xuzong were making brown ropes in the commune, Ziyang and his wife gave everything they had to help their brothers and sisters, and they repaid their kindness.

Scenes of the past, like a movie screened by the brigade, reappeared in front of Lilac's eyes, Lilac finally couldn't help but tears in her eyes, the first and only time to shed tears for a person who has no blood relatives but is better than relatives.

For many days, Lilac was in a very heavy mood.

In the mid-nineties, Yao Ning, who had changed jobs and became the deputy director of the city's Finance Bureau, took his whole family, holding the silver-haired Teacher Yang, whose body had been destroyed by the years, to worship Ziyang and Yao Yan, who were also in Huilongwa.

The sun rises in spring, the grass is green, and the green mountains are reckless.

The V-shaped victory monument of the martyr Yao Yan during the Republic of China was changed to a sedan top monument.

Under the pine and cypress, Yao Ning can't afford to grow up.

Teacher Yang bowed three times under the support of everyone, and immediately burst into tears.

One Jiazi is a reincarnation, and the past is vivid. She was a little excited, as if she had returned to the forties to attend the Yao Yan Martyrs Memorial Conference.

She muttered, "I was still in elementary school that year, and that scene was so touching!" The people of the whole city, thousands of empty alleys! The county magistrate's inscription is more than ten meters high! Yao Ning, your father is a real hero, back then, your Uncle Ziyang lived and died with your father, Uncle Ziyang heard your father pull off the bomb with his own ears, and he died with the Japanese tank......"

"Your father often said that the Japanese who killed him still made bombs and bullets, but for the sake of you not to speak Japanese now, it is not easy for Tang to pretend to be Hanfu, so he ......"

After sorting out his emotions, Mr. Yang accurately memorized the couplets of the year to commemorate Yao Yan word by word-

"In the first battle of Changsha, and then the battle of northern Jiangxi, scholars joined the army to punish Japanese criminals.

Transferred to western Hubei, bloody Wuling, strong men martyred the country......"

The tomb of Ziyang was originally buried in Qingmutuo, Baiyingzhai, and after being rehabilitated, Mr. Yang followed the last wish of Ziyang and Yao Yan to be good brothers with different surnames, and just moved over to be Yao Yan's eternal companion not long ago.

In front of Ziyang's tomb, Yao Ning knelt down crying and said, "Uncle, today our whole family and Aunt Yang came to see you......

In the breeze, Mr. Yang, who was dancing lightly with silver hair and tears in his eyes, stared at the tomb of Xinpeitu, and muttered in his mouth: "Brother, I came to see you again, I want to tell you a good news, I didn't go to Beijing to roll the nail board, and the government has already given you peace and punishment!" We rely on your blessing, Heng has been treated by your rehabilitated family, and the family has grown up, and I will come to join you in a short time! ”

Two months later, her mother-in-law, who had always been blind but physically strong, passed away without warning. On the morning of her death, she drank half a bowl of porridge, and when she was about to lunch, she felt a little tired and told Hu Gui'e that she would lie in bed and sleep for a while. When Hu Gui'e went to call for lunch, she was out of breath, quiet as if she had fallen asleep, and did not leave a last word to the children and grandchildren in the hall.

Many years later, when Lilac talked about that year, she was embarrassed, saying that she had lost three relatives who had been kind to her that year.

End of the 40th round
