Hu Guangwen looked at the woman in front of him, but he couldn't remember that this woman was completely blank in his brain, and he had no impression. So Hu Guangwen said:

"Who are you! Why am I not impressed at all? Hu Guangwen said.

"I'm Wang Xinqun! You don't remember. Wang Xinqun said.

"You're a new group, I can't believe it! It's changed so much, you don't say it, you really can't recognize it, when did you come? It's no wonder that after so many years, everyone is getting old. The years are inspiring! Hu Guangwen said.

"We arrived yesterday, it was too late to get here yesterday, I found the lotus first, I asked them to go back to the county seat and come again today, I went to see Brother Luo Zheng, and then came to your brother, I didn't expect Brother Luo Zheng to leave so early, and the days have just improved. By the way, have you usually learned about him, where is his file, is it his original place? Oh, yes! We're all old! There are not many years left for us. Wang Xinqun said.

"You know, or when he came to me and told me something, I haven't been in the mountains, it's hard to walk in the mountains, and it's hard to find a place to stay. The food was sent by my father while the sheep were going up the mountain, and he and I hadn't met a few times, and we didn't spend much time together, but we had a tacit understanding with each other, and we talked speculatively, which increased our trust in each other. I didn't go to Li Zhong's house to borrow a plow by mistake that day, and maybe I won't see the last one. It didn't take long for me to be stopped, and I stayed at home, and I couldn't go into the mountains to look for him. He didn't say anything. The situation is good, I entrusted someone to check, there is no file here, only the original notice, when he was transferred to our school, he was silent and little, not good at words, rarely talk to people, and others are not easy to ask. In the end, he simply left the unit and lived in the depths of the mountains, living a life of self-sufficiency separated by the world, so his life may be a mystery. Said that this person drowned, and the rest of the information can't be found, as for the file, I think it should still be in the original place, and the school doesn't know if there is, yes! Although the person is gone, we should also return his innocence, and let him feel at ease in Huangquan. Hu Guangwen said.

Wang Xinqun and Teacher Hu were talking about Zhang Luozheng, and everyone listened attentively, and before they knew it, a person walked in, and she waited for the woman who sent the child to Teacher Hu's distant relative, and she waited for everyone to stop talking before she said:

"I sent the child over, he didn't ask me, the name was left to him by myself, after taking the child over, he said: This child is so cute, but the birth time is wrong, the child suffered, and then stuffed a letter into my hand, telling me to hide this letter, and when the situation improves, he is no longer alive, if someone comes to ask about this matter before opening, I am illiterate, has not been opened, a few days ago I heard that Brother Zhang also left the world, so came to discuss this matter with Brother Hu, unfortunately everyone is there, I just opened the letter. ”

Then she took out a letter from the bag of clothes on her chest and handed it to Teacher Hu, who opened it and said:

He said that he has five siblings in his family, he is the third, and he has two older brothers, the eldest brother is named Zhang Luohu. The second brother's name is Zhang Luoji, and he was in a military region of the army at that time. What about me! It's useless, I just asked for the position of teaching and educating people, but in the end I didn't even teach, I came to the mountains, below is a younger brother and sister, the younger sister is the youngest, her name is Zhang Namei, she was still studying in the military academy at the time, the fourth brother is called Zhangjiajie, working in YF County, if I am not alive, I will work hard Brother Hu Guangwen, first contact my brother and sister to explain the situation, for your foster children! I will do my best to raise him to adulthood and leave his health to his parents, although I have no experience in raising children, but I will not let him suffer any grievances. The child is careless, is the hope of the future, the child has his own life trajectory, hand it over to his parents, let him have a new life, must not let him live in this mountain for a lifetime, let him go out of the mountains is my only wish, live a normal life should live. ”

Everyone sounded like their hearts were purified, especially Wang Xinqun's tears came to the door again, and she swallowed it back, and she was also extremely strong to tell herself, you have met a good person, you must be worthy of Brother Luo Zheng. Brother has worked hard, and your kindness can only be repaid in the next life. When Mr. Hu finished reading the letter, everyone's eyes were wet. At this time, Dongmei said:

"Okay, I have also completed the matter successfully, and the rest of the things will be completed by Mr. Hu and Lotus. What about children? I've heard people say that they were picked up by a lotus flower, and that's fine. ”

At this time, the lotus walked towards Yu Dongmei, took Dongmei's hand and said:

"Auntie! Thank you! ”

Then he called Zhang Yunzhong over, put one of Zhang Yunzhong's hands and Dongmei's hands together, and said:

"Auntie! This is Zhang Yunzhong, who took the risk of sending your child into the mountains back then, you can't imagine it! Are the children so old? ”

Yu Dongmei put her hands on Zhang Yunzhong's shoulders and said, "Turn around and let me see, wow!" It's all so tall and big, time flies so fast, it's not like this, I really can't know it, it's okay, it's good to go out of the mountain, you can be an upright person, and you won't hide in the mountains anymore. Child, you have grown up, and it is time to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, have your parents come to you? “

"Auntie! Thank you, with you, I am where I am today, my mother has just arrived, and I just found out about what happened back then, I don't blame anyone. Zhang Yunzhong pointed at Wang Xinqun and said.

Dongmei looked at Wang Xinqun: "You are Xinqun, I can't believe that you are Xinqun, how can you change so much, you were so beautiful back then." “

"Yes! When I gave birth to a child, I was young at that time, and because of many things, I didn't take good care of it, you know, life is also a dining hall, and not to mention nutrition, it is good to eat in that canteen, and I still have to work. Therefore, the root of the disease is often referred to as the cold after the moon, and this disease is difficult to cure! It's not the child's business that supports me, the child is my spiritual support, I'm afraid I'm not in the world anymore, I have long had the idea that I can't think of it, everyone says that this disease is not easy to treat. ”

At this time, the teacher's wife came over and asked everyone to eat, and then gathered around three tables together, and Teacher Hu took out two bottles of good wine and said:

"It's rare to gather today, and we have opened up the dusty memories for a long time, so that we can meet together, and now it can come to an end. Everyone drinks some today, although this wine is compared to Moutai, but I am reluctant to drink it, it has been there for a few years, and it is rare to have such a day. Although Zhang Yunzhong has not officially recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, he also knows what happened to his life and the reality at that time. What about Wangxinqun? The heart is also steady, whether it is a heart disease that has been entangled with her for many years, it is time to let go, the child is still in reality, and he is still alive and healthy. Good! That's a good thing. Everyone, please do it! ”

Everyone raised their glasses and was about to drink, when a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy outside the door hurriedly shouted:

"Sister Lotus, Sister Lotus, can you go and take a look? My grandma may not be able to do it anymore! She wants to see you. "It turned out to be Zheng Haidong in the courtyard of the Zheng family in Dongbian Village.

Lotus put down the wine and said, "You drink well, I'm sorry, I have to go first, so I won't accompany you." ”

Then he took Xiao Zheng's hand and hurried to the Zheng family's yard. When they got home, Grandma couldn't speak, and she saw her lips open and thin. I couldn't hear it at all, so for a long time, and finally the lotus said:

"Grandma, don't worry, Haidong and I must treat him as my own brother, if there is mine, there will be his. And I must have courted him a wife and gave you a chubby grandson. “

Then my grandmother closed her eyes and passed away. The lotus flower left from Mr. Hu's house, and Mr. Hu in the back also drank the wine, then put down the wine glass and said, "Everyone, please drink well, I won't accompany you anymore, I have to go and see it too." ”

Lotus, Teacher Hu are gone, everyone went to Zheng Haidong's house, they or they all followed, look at the garbage piled up everywhere, fortunately, this is not a hot day, if it is a hot day, people really can't stand it, and no one takes care of these garbage, and it is piled up in a mess. But everyone came, and the grandmother also went, and people knew in their hearts that it was not easy for the mother-in-law and grandson, and it was strong enough to live to this day, although the way of life was different from most. But this way is much stronger than those who live on others, and even stronger than those who steal chickens and dogs all day long. Although it looks a little Zhang Xixi, his heart is pure and white and flawless. Everyone was busy, sorting out the garbage, cleaning the ground, counting the stools on the table, a few women came over to change the old clothes, rummaging over but not finding a decent one, everyone was hesitating, Haidong took out a bag of things from the hole in the wall, and the lotus opened it to see, there was a set of shrouds inside, except for the shrouds that were one yuan, two yuan, five yuan, and ten yuan. The lotus asked someone to count it, there were three thousand six hundred and eighty-nine yuan in total, and the lotus held the money, and her hand kept trembling:

"Oh my God! With such a large sum of money, I don't know how the old man saved it, maybe there is not a single family in the entire mountain village that has so much? ”

This piece of money contains the hard work of the elderly, hardship, at the cost of life, and ordinary saving is inseparable, which shows the importance of saving. Lotus was about to hand it to Haidong, Haidong took out a letter from the packaging cloth layer, Lotus took it and looked at it, and knew that it was written by someone, Lotus opened the letter, and the letter said that after she died, she could not use the money, this money was for Haidong's marriage, her funeral should be done simply, don't waste it, as for the burial? You can buy a coffin that is almost a little bit, the Taoist priest can please or not, and in the end, someone will come to help, or cook some food for everyone to eat, I haven't invited you to a meal for so many years, so let me take this opportunity to invite everyone to eat for two days? The first is to entrust everyone to take care of Haidong's child, and the second is to please pay attention to finding him a wife, and I will put the cost of these arrangements in the big hole in the corner.

Lotus took out a large package from the corner of the wall and opened it to see that it was full of money. The difference from the previous one is that the previous package was from one yuan to ten yuan, and the money in this package was one dime to one yuan, one yuan had five hundred yuan, and the rest added up to three hundred and eighty-eight yuan and eight jiao, a total of eight hundred and eighty-eight yuan and eight jiao, and there was a note on it that said, except for selling coffins, it was all used for life. Lotus took out the money and asked someone to buy a coffin, and also invited a taxi, Lotus held the money in her hand, what a good grandmother! From this money, you can see how hard it is for grandma's life, and how hard it is to come by this money. It is her corner by corner to save up, I don't know how many years to save so much, from her arrangement can be seen, she has feelings for the villagers, but limited to her own occupation, it is inconvenient to be with the villagers, so I have to express my gratitude for everyone's help. Lotus thought to herself, some people may think that her profession is lowly, but I think she is noble in her heart! The folks who came one after another did what they wanted, and then the people who came to help cook came over and said:

"How to cook rice, let people get rice, corn flour and oil first, as for the dishes, ask everyone to help get some vegetables at home, and make some noodles tonight." Cooking will start tomorrow. “

Lotus said: "It's okay, everyone can understand it." ”

So the lotus arranged someone to deal with it, at this time Wang Xinqun came over and asked the lotus, how did you get the rice, is it solved on the spot, or go to the county to get it, the rice matter is mine, when the child was born, she gave birth to the child, and it was also she and Mr. Hu's wife took turns to take care of me to work, not with the age and middle-aged injury (this refers to the son and daughter-in-law) The reason for the pain, she is also a capable person. Lotus Says:

"Of course, if you go to the county seat, who has so much rice and where do you put it? Yes, it can be seen from the money she saved and the arrangement of the money that she is indeed a capable person. ”

"In that case, I can just let my brother run, it's still hard enough to walk on such a long mountain road, okay, so be it!" Wang Xinqun said.

Xinqun called his brother, told him about the situation, and then left Haidong's house. Things went according to plan, Wang Xinqun brought the rice and handed it to the lotus and said:

"Lotus, we have to go back, because everyone is going to have a holiday, and I won't bother everyone anymore, and when the Lantern Festival is over, I'll come again, one is to ask what Yunzhong thinks, the second is that I also tell him what I think, and the third is to see what he plans to say, Lotus, I'm going to trouble you more in the future, we'll go back, and then I'll be alone, they all have to go to work, can't just accompany me!" Work is number one, so do me! I'm retired, I have time to run around, anyway, before I communicate with Yunzhong, I'll come again, just add a lot of trouble to you, go back. Then he got in the car and disappeared into the mountains.

Lotus came to Mr. Hu and a few people to discuss, and Mr. Hu said:

"Tomorrow is fourteen, the day after tomorrow is fifteen, just bury tomorrow morning, and then go home in the afternoon to do their own business, everyone must be very busy tomorrow."

Then everyone agreed, and the lotus also asked the Taoist priest and said, "Okay, so be it!" Everyone has seen it, and now that grandma is gone, Zheng Haidong is the only one left. "And then everyone did what they had to do.

The next morning, everyone lifted grandma's coffin, beat gongs and drums to send grandma on the last ride, and buried grandma. Some went home directly, and some also brought a little thing to help set the meal, in short, everyone completed everything in an orderly manner, after Lotus and Teacher Hu finished eating, Lotus called Zheng Haidong over, and prepared the rest of the money with the money left by grandma to Haidong and said:

"Grandma is gone, you have to learn to be independent. Prop up the house, clean the house, and put things in order. ”

And Zheng Haidong pushed away the lotus's hand and said, "The money is placed there for you, and I will take it when I need it." ”

Teacher Hu also said, "That's fine, yes!" Grandma went to another world, but the banner of the Zheng family did not fall, and you must carry the banner of your Zheng family no matter what. Then we'll go, and we'll have meals for both days. We'll come and see you sometime. ”

Lotus waited for all the helpers to leave, and then looked at every place, and the helpers were very good before leaving.

Time flies so fast, as soon as the Lantern Festival passes, Master Yang, the chief engineer, came to the factory, and the number of workers has also increased, there are more than 30. Lotus called Chief Engineer Zhu to his home and said:

"I wish the chief engineer, I have a bold idea, I don't know if it works, now the plant is about to be renovated, it is possible to put into production as soon as possible, I want to build the road while putting it into production, because the quality of the road directly affects all aspects of the product, especially the most serious time. It's just that we don't have money, I want to find you, you contact your company, and the company will advance funds to repair and pay off in five years. There is also the slope should not be too steep, the curve should not be too large, and it should not be too narrow, double street plus sidewalk. ”

"Okay, I'll get in touch, this highway is estimated to cost fifteen million by your standards, and I'll give you a detailed budget report." Zhu Chief Engineer said.

"Okay, you budget first, for the sake of future development, stab it down, and repair it. At least not in the short term. Lotus said.

"Okay, if that's the case, the investment will be greater, I take it seriously, and I have to find a few helpers, some places need to be repaired, and even the bend is particularly large and need to build bridges, isn't it a bit difficult, and we have so much money from there." Zhu Chief Engineer said.

"It's okay, yes, you have to get the budget out first, you have to hire a few helpers, you have to measure it. Oh, I remember, it's okay to build a hotel next to the factory or a little far away from the factory, but it's up to you to advance, okay. Lotus said.

"The advance of a hotel may not be a big problem, but I am the official staff of the company, I can't do this, according to me, you can find Master Yang, he is affiliated with our company, and I can supervise the identity to deal with this matter." Zhu Chief Engineer said.

"It's settled, you have to find someone to draw the drawings and invest money in the hotel. How many days do you have left to complete the plant? Lotus asked.

"It should be okay at twenty-five, okay, I'll take a look." Chief Engineer Zhu replied.
