Chapter 637 Before Leaving

Gong Jianglong saw Han Li coming out, but he just nodded without saying anything.

After getting in the car, Han Li found that Village Chief Zhao had changed his usual black and blue clothes today, and wore the same white shirt on the upper body and black pants on the lower body. Needless to say, this set of clothes was just bought here.

Since Liu Lao and others had been attending various meetings or staying there to guard the body for a while, there were only three of them in the car now, but no one spoke, and the whole car was filled with the sound of the car engine.

The car drove out of Mianhua Hutong and crossed Chang'an Avenue, and stopped in the Grand Theater next to Shibei Hutong.

Next, Gong Jianglong took the documents and led Village Chief Zhao and Han Li to the vicinity of Jinshui Bridge. After saying hello, he arranged them in the front row of a square formation, whispered a few words, and ran away.

A huge portrait several meters high stood tall in the center of the tower, and in front of the tower was a red platform with autumn cypress and pine chrysanthemums.

At this time, the square was already crowded with people, and the number was still increasing rapidly. No matter how people were dressed, everyone wore white flowers on their chests and black veils on their arms.

The square was filled with neat square formations, and there was a heavy atmosphere of sadness. There was almost no sound except the sound of people sobbing.

At this time, the memorial meeting venues across the country had already been arranged. All grassroots units such as various agencies, troops, factories, mines, enterprises, rural areas, schools, and streets were ready.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the mourning ceremony officially began with the tragic music played by the military band composed of 500 people.

After three minutes of silence, the leader choked several times and finished his eulogy. When he bowed three times, the millions of people on the scene burst into tears, and they did not stop until the song sounded. Countless people fainted on 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. Gong Jianglong had to stay by Liu Lao's side, so he could not send them off at this time.

And don't think about the bus in this scene, not to mention that the bus drivers are also in this crowd. Even if they are working normally, it is impossible to take away millions of people on the scene.

Neither of them spoke. Under Han Li's leadership, they walked all the way to the North Sea. When there were fewer people, Village Chief Zhao used a hoarse voice to tell some past events and his sadness. He talked for a long time and finally said a little tiredly.

"Han Li, I plan to go back in a day or two. If you have something to do at home, you can stay for a few more days."

Hearing this, Han Li asked in the same hoarse voice.

"Uncle Zhao, you've finally come to Sijiucheng, why don't you stay a few more days?"

"The crops in the fields will be harvested in the next month. This year, the threshing ground in our village needs to be leveled again. The large animals need to be fattened during this period, otherwise they will kick their feet. There are also various farm tools that need to be checked and repaired. I won't feel at ease if I don't go back to watch."

"These are all routine and conventional work. The people in the village will do it well."

"Well, to be honest, my wish to come to Sijiucheng to pay homage to him has been fulfilled. Living here is too tiring and there are too many things to pay attention to. It's far better to go home and take a walk in the fields every day to make people feel at ease and relaxed."

There is nothing wrong with what Village Chief Zhao said. For a person who is used to taking a walk every day to live in a place like Mr. Liu's, most people can't stand it.

"Uncle Zhao, why don't you stay at my house? I'll take you around the city."

"No this time. I just want to go home as soon as possible. I'll bother you next time I have a chance."

Han Li walked with Village Chief Zhao while chatting. They hadn't eaten anything since early morning. Now they needed to solve the problem of hunger, but no store was open on the street at this time, and they couldn't find anything to fill their stomachs.

Fortunately, Han Li was a local, and he took Village Chief Zhao back to Mianhua Hutong quickly.

Because the employees needed to go back to work first, there was no one at home at this time.

After Han Li gave Village Chief Zhao cigarettes and tea, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to cook.

However, Han Li was lucky. He had just opened the damper of the honeycomb stove and was thinking about what to do when Han Xiaomei came back from outside first.

"Brother, what are you doing in the kitchen?"

"My younger sister is back just in time. Uncle Zhao and I haven't eaten anything since yesterday. Hurry up and get us something to eat."

Han Xiaomei quickly agreed. While she was washing her hands, Han Li had already gone into the house to talk to Village Chief Zhao.

Not long after the sound of a kitchen knife hitting the chopping board in the kitchen, Han Xiaomei came in with a large bowl of noodles and a large bowl of fried sauce.

"Uncle Zhao, brother, I think you haven't eaten for so long, so I rolled some soft noodles. This won't make your stomach uncomfortable after eating. There are still a lot on the chopping board. If it's not enough, I'll cook it right away."

At this time, the two were starving, but Village Chief Zhao still praised Han Xiaomei before starting to eat.

After a while of wolfing down, the bowl of noodles was quickly eaten up by the two of them. When Han Xiaomei was about to cook more, she was stopped by Village Chief Zhao.

"Enough, enough, I have enough here, just cook your brother's portion later."

Han Li was eighty percent full now, but he didn't want to eat alone if the guests didn't want to eat, so he told his younger sister not to cook any more.

While the two were talking and drinking tea, the sound of a car came again from the alley, and soon Gong Jianglong's voice came from the street door.

"Brother Han, are you at home?"

"here I am."

Han Li answered and walked out. Village Chief Zhao also recognized the voice of Gong Jianglong and followed him 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 things over there have come to an end for the time being. Mr. Liu went back in someone else's car. He specially asked me to pick you up."

Hearing that Mr. Liu had gone back, Village Chief Zhao turned around and looked at Han Li and said.

"How are you?"

"I have nothing important to do at home. Uncle Zhao, please set a time. Then we will go back together."

Due to special circumstances today, none of the Yun sisters came.

During dinner in the evening, Han Li watched as his family ate. It wasn't that he didn't eat, but that he couldn't eat at all not long after the meal. However, he told his family that he was going back to Shanghe Village in the next two days. Having said that, Mother Han frowned and said.

"If you go home at the same time as in previous years, you will be back in two months at most. Why are you running back and forth in such a short time? Just say hello to Village Chief Zhao."

"Mom, I don't want to leave home, and I don't want to run back and forth, but I'm afraid I can't do it this year. Now I am no longer an educated youth who just earns a doctor's salary to get by, but I am the deputy director of the county hospital.

Although I, the deputy dean, usually don't care about anything, where do I put my rank and role? You also know that towards the end of the year, there will be a lot of meetings. It would be bad if I was absent all the time. How unfair it would be to use this reason to remove it.

And I heard that most of these meetings at the end of the year are about arguing, pushing back, and flattering each other. Isn’t this just a good opportunity for me, a newcomer, to learn from them about the experience of arguing, so that I don’t have to leave if I need to experience these things in the future? detour. "

When Mother Han heard what her son said, she frowned slightly, then frowned again and said.

"Then if according to what you said, it will be New Year's Eve after all the meetings are over, then can you still go home to celebrate the New Year this year?"

"It should be possible. If there are no meetings that I have to attend later, I will come back directly. Anyway, I have an internal railway ticket, so I can leave whenever I want."

Mother Han wanted to say something else at this time, but Father Han next to her spoke directly.

"It doesn't matter whether you come back for the Spring Festival or not. Your child's job future is important. Haven't you already told the news that your son is the vice-dean? If someone really gets you because of your greed to go home for the New Year, then it will depend on your face. Where to put it.

Also, our son didn’t have to stay at home for more than two or three months that year, which was much better than other children who jumped in line and went to the countryside and could only stay at home for ten or twenty days a year, so we shouldn’t worry about the New Year at this time. Those two days. "

Although Father Han usually doesn't talk much, usually Mother Han will not object if he speaks. What's more, what Father Han said this time is quite reasonable, but Mother Han fell silent for a while and spoke again.

"Son, you should hurry up and visit Master Li and your in-laws in the next two days. If you need anything, ask your second sister to buy it for you."

"I just picked up the things when I went there two days ago, so I don't need to prepare anything this time."

.

The next morning, Han Li went to his master first. There were still many things in the decomposition space and he would not be empty-handed. He said that last night just because he didn't want to trouble his family.

Master is still alone at home today. To be on the safe side, the seven gourd babies won't come for a few more days.

Han Li told his master that he was going back to Northeast China in the next two days, and he checked the effect of Dali Pill on his master.

Looking at the results, Han Li was a little surprised. The Dali Pill had some effect on his parents, but the effect on his master was almost negligible, just like when it was used on Han Li himself.

Han Li thought to himself that the effect of Dali Pill should be closely related to age and physical fitness.

Han Li chatted and laughed with his master for a while, and the two of them drank a little at noon.

In the afternoon, Han Li waited until he was about to get off work before looking for Sister Yun. Naturally, he brought plenty of gifts.

Three people and two bicycles parked under the tube building again. Han Li was beating a drum in his heart. He didn't know what would happen to his meal tonight.
