Chapter 632: Before leaving
After Gong Jianglong saw Han Li come out, he didn't speak but nodded.
After Han Li got into the car, he found that Village Chief Zhao had changed out of his perennial black and blue clothes today, with the same white shirt on the upper body and black pants on the lower body, needless to say, this dress had just been purchased here.
Since Liu Lao and the others were either in various meetings some time ago, or stayed there to guard the spirits, there were only three of them in the car now, but no one spoke, and there was only the sound of the car engine in the whole car.
The car drove out of Cotton Hutong and crossed Chang'an Avenue, drove to the Grand Theater next to Shibei Hutong and stopped.
Next, Gong Jianglong took the documents and took Village Chief Zhao and Han Li all the way to the vicinity of Jinshui Bridge, and after saying hello, he arranged them to the front row of a phalanx, whispered a few words and ran all the way away.
A huge statue several meters high is erected in the center of the castle tower, and in front of the castle tower is a red platform with autumn cypress and pine chrysanthemum.
At this time, the square was already crowded with people, and the number of people was still increasing rapidly, and now no matter how people dressed, everyone wore white flowers on their chests and black gauze on their armbands.
The square was filled with a heavy atmosphere of sadness, and so many people could barely make any sound except for the sound of people sobbing.
At this time, the sub-venues of the memorial rally across the country had already been arranged, and all grass-roots units, such as organs, troops, factories and mines, enterprises, rural areas, schools, and neighborhoods, were all ready.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the condolence ceremony officially began as the military band composed of 500 people played a tragic mourning music.
After three minutes of silence, the leader finished the eulogy several times in a choked voice, and when he bowed three times, the millions of people at the scene burst into tears and poured rain, and they did not stop until the song sounded, and countless people cried and fainted at the scene.
"The east is red, the sun is rising."
.
When they went back, Han Li and Village Chief Zhao followed the crowd and slowly walked out of the square, and Gong Jianglong had to guard by Liu Lao's side, so they couldn't be sent to them at this time.
And now don't worry about any buses in this scene, not to mention that the masters who drive the buses are also in this crowd, even if they go to work normally, it is impossible to pull away millions of people on the scene.
Neither of them spoke, and under the leadership of Han Li, they walked all the way to the edge of the North Sea, and when there were fewer people, Village Chief Zhao used a hoarse voice to tell some of the past events and the sadness in his heart, and after talking for a long time, he finally said a little tiredly.
"Han Li, I plan to go back in the next day or two, if you have something at home, you can stay for a few more days."
Hearing this, Han Li asked in an equally hoarse voice.
"Uncle Zhao, why didn't you stay for a few more days when you finally came to Sijiu City?"
"The crops in the field are about to start harvesting in the month, and this year, the barn in our village needs to be re-leveled, and the big animals will have to be fattened during this time, otherwise they will have to be trampled at that time, and all kinds of farm tools need to be inspected and repaired, and I don't worry about going back to look at it."
"It's all a step-by-step, sticky job, and the people in the village will do it."
"Hey, let's be honest, my wish to come to Sijiu City to worship his old man this time has been fulfilled, living here is too tiring, there are too many things to pay attention to, it is far better to go home and go to the field every day to walk around to make people feel down-to-earth and relaxed."
There is nothing wrong with Village Chief Zhao's statement, and ordinary people will not be able to stand letting a person who is used to wandering around every day live in the kind of place that Liu Lao has.
"Uncle Zhao, why don't you come to live at my house? I'll take you for a walk around Sijiu City. ”
"It's still not going to happen this time, I just want to go home as soon as possible, and I'll trouble you again next time I have a chance."
Han Li took Village Chief Zhao to chat and walk, the two of them really hadn't eaten a drop of water from the early hours of the morning until now, and now what they needed to solve was the problem of the Five Organs Temple, but at this time, there was not a single shop open on the street, and they couldn't find anything to make up for their stomachs at all.
Fortunately, Han Li was a local, and he quickly returned to Cotton Hutong with Village Chief Zhao.
Because the current employees need to return to the unit first, there is no one in the family at this time.
After Han Li served a cigarette and poured tea for Village Chief Zhao, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to cook.
However, Han Li's luck was good, he had just opened the damper of the honeycomb stove and was thinking about what to do, when Han Xiaomei was the first to come back from outside.
"Brother, what are you doing in the kitchen?"
"Little sister came back just in time, Uncle Zhao and I haven't eaten anything since yesterday, you hurry up and get us something to eat."
Han Xiaomei hurriedly agreed, and when she was washing her hands, Han Li had already entered the house to talk to Village Chief Zhao.
Not long after the sound of a kitchen knife touching the board in the kitchen, Han Xiaomei walked in with a large pot of noodles and a large bowl of fried sauce.
"Uncle Zhao, brother, I think you haven't eaten for so long, so I rolled out some soft noodles, this will not be uncomfortable in the stomach after eating, there are still a lot of them on the board, I will cook them as soon as they are not enough."
At this time, the two of them were already hungry with their chests against their backs, but Village Chief Zhao still praised Han Xiaomei before starting to eat.
After gobbling up this pot of noodles for a while, the two of them quickly ate it, and Han Xiaomei was stopped by Village Chief Zhao when she was about to cook it again.
"Enough, enough, I've got enough here, just cook your brother's share later."
Han Li was now eight points full, but if the guests didn't eat, he didn't want to eat alone, so he asked the little sister not to cook anymore.
When the two of them were talking and drinking tea, the sound of cars came from the alley again, and after a while, Gong Jianglong's voice came from the street gate.
"Brother Han, are you at home?"
"Yes."
Han Li replied and walked out, and Village Chief Zhao also heard that it was Gong Jianglong's voice, and he followed behind and walked out.
"Did Uncle Zhao come back with you?"
Before Han Li could speak, Village Chief Zhao's voice came from behind.
"Xiaolong, why are you here at this time?"
"The matter over there has come to an end for the time being, Liu Lao went back in someone else's car, and he specially asked me to pick you up."
Hearing that Elder Liu had already gone back, Village Chief Zhao turned to look at Han Li and said.
"How are you?"
"I don't have anything important at home, Uncle Zhao, you can set a time, and when the time comes, we will go back together."
Today, because of special circumstances, none of the Yun family sisters came over.
At dinner in the evening, the family ate and Han Li watched from the side, not because he didn't eat, but he couldn't eat at all not long after he had just eaten, but he told his family that he was going back to Shanghe Village in the next two days, and Han's mother frowned and said.
"If you go home according to the time you go home in previous years, you will be back in two months at most, what are you going to do back and forth at this time? Just say hello to Village Chief Zhao. ”
"Mom, I'm reluctant to leave home, and I don't want to run back and forth, but I'm afraid not this year, I'm no longer a young man who simply takes a doctor's salary, but the vice president of the county hospital.
Although I, the vice president, usually don't care about anything, but after all, the rank and role are put aside, and you also know that the more we get to the end of the year, there will be a lot of meetings, and it will be bad if I am absent all the time, and it will be very unjust if someone uses this reason to take it away.
And I heard that most of these meetings at the end of the year are talking to each other, prevarication, and touting, which doesn't just allow me, a newcomer, to learn from them and learn about the experience, and if I need to go through these things in the future, I just don't have to take detours. ”
When Han's mother heard her son say this, her slightly frowning brows first showed, and then she immediately frowned and said.
"Then if according to what you say, after all the meetings are completed, it will be the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, then can you still go home for the New Year this year?"
"It should be possible, if there is no meeting that must be attended later, I will come back directly, anyway, I have an internal ticket for the railway, and I can leave whenever I want."
Han's mother wanted to say something more at this time, but Han's father next to her spoke directly.
"It's okay if you don't come back for the Spring Festival, the child's work and future are important, haven't you already told the news that your son is the vice president? If you really go home for the New Year because you are greedy, someone will take it, then look at where your face goes.
Also, our son didn't stay at home for two or three months that year, which is much better than other children who can only stay at home for ten or twenty days a year, so we don't care about the two days of the Chinese New Year at this time. ”
Although Dad Han usually doesn't talk much, under normal circumstances, as long as he speaks, Mama Han basically won't object, not to mention that what Dad Han said this time is quite reasonable, but Mama Han was silent for a while and spoke again.
"Son, then you have to go to Master Li's side and your in-laws' side in the next two days, what do you need to bring for your second sister to buy it back for you."
"I just got something when I went there two days ago, so I don't need to prepare anything this time."
.
The next morning, Han Li went to Master's side first, he dismantled that there were still many things in the space, of course he wouldn't be empty-handed, he just didn't want to trouble his family when he said that last night.
Today, the master is still alone at home, and for the sake of safety, the seven gourd babies will not be able to come in a few more days.
Han Li told Master about his return to the Northeast in the past two days, and took a look at the effect of the Great Pill on Master.
Looking at the results, Han Li was a little surprised, the Great Pill still had a little effect on his parents, and the effect on his master was almost minimal, just like when he used it on Han Li himself.
Han Li pondered that the effect of the Strength Pill should have a lot to do with his age and physical fitness.
Han Li was here to talk and laugh with the master for a while, and the two of them drank a little at noon.
In the afternoon, Han Li waited for the time when he was about to get off work before going to look for Sister Yun, and the gifts were naturally full of gifts.
The three of them and the two bicycles stopped under the tube building again, Han Li kept beating the drums in his heart, he didn't know what he would do with this meal tonight?
