Wang Dahai's plan to go back was dissuaded. Unexpectedly, the next morning, after everyone went out for work and school, there was a knock on the gate, and Wang Erbing came in with Wang Xiangdong.
"What a big deal, so early in the morning?" After letting the person into the yard, Xie Ailian followed behind and asked Wang Erbing.
"The old captain is dead. Xiangdong is in charge. He and Chen Changlin come here to purchase things, and I help." Wang Erbing explained.
As a filial son, Chen Changlin was in mourning and could not come to the house, so he waited at the bus station.
The format has changed in the past two years. Chen Changlin wants to hold the funeral in the same way as before, asking people to perform rituals, make paper houses, offer sacrifices, and then hold the funeral.
"When did it happen?" Xie Ailian asked Wang Erbing.
"Yesterday evening I complained of chest pain, went back to my room and lay down, and within half an hour, I died."
"So soon? How can you leave just like that... Captain, you must have cultivated well in your past life."
Xie Ailian sighed slowly. She was over seventy years old, had no illness or disaster, had never suffered any hardship, and had no need for others to serve her, which was annoying. She could leave whenever she wanted, which was a blessing.
Wang Xiangdong was the first to come back. He looked around the yard and was secretly amazed. The fourth brother was really capable to have such a yard in the county town.
After sitting down and drinking a glass of water, Wang Dahai changed his clothes and came out.
"Old Four has to go out today. I don't know if he's gone yet. Let's go to the cannery first. He has a lot of connections. Even if we can't get leave, he can introduce someone he knows. That would save us a lot of trouble."
They live in the same village and have no enmity with each other. When there is a funeral, people from the same village will basically go to help. Otherwise, when something happens to their own family, there will be no one to help.
The main thing is that he knew that Wang Sibing could help with this matter.
It takes thirty to forty minutes to walk to the cannery, so Wang Dahai took the two of them on the bus and they arrived at the factory gate in fifteen minutes.
At this moment, Wang Sibing was chatting with someone while watching everyone loading the truck.
I heard the broadcast saying that someone was looking for me at the gate, so I said hello to my colleagues and ran out.
"Dad... Second brother? Brother Xiangdong?"
"Old Four."
Wang Erbing and the others were a little shocked when they saw Wang Sibing in his work clothes.
He was of medium height, wearing a blue work suit, a thick leather belt around his waist, and a pair of big-toed leather shoes. He looked energetic.
Wang Sibing walked out of the gate, put the white gloves on his hands into his pockets, led people to the side, took out a cigarette, and gave one to Wang Xiangdong and Wang Erbing respectively.
"What happened?" he asked casually while collecting the cigarette box.
He himself doesn't smoke, and Wang Dahai can't get used to it.
Wang Dahai quickly explained the situation and asked him, "How long will it take for you to be dispatched? If you're running out of time, just tell us where you want to go and we'll go there ourselves."
Hearing this, Wang Sibing raised his hand to check the time. "Over on Daxi Road, let's do this... I'll ride my bike and take Brother Xiangdong over first, and Dad, you lead Brother Er and walk behind."
As for Chen Changlin, we could only wait until everyone arrived there and then send someone to the bus station to call him.
Knowing that Wang Sibing was about to drive out, Wang Xiangdong had no objection to this arrangement.
Not to mention the Chen family, even if it is the family of our own, after three generations, it is enough to be able to do this.
…
Chikuyama County Middle School, top class.
After the second class, Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni followed the crowd out of the classroom and just saw Fan Ye running towards them in a hurry.
"Wang Zhaozhao, Xu Yanni, Song Jiangli, the three of you come with me."
“…”
Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni looked at each other, and then looked at Song Jiangli who was several people away. For some reason, they seemed to see the words "don't want to go".
Can I say it? After the second class, there is a break and they all like to do radio gymnastics.
Wang Zhaozhao feels that going to the playground to do radio gymnastics is a very important and indispensable relaxation time during a day of study.
What a coincidence, Xu Yanni and Song Jiangli had almost the same idea.
Simple exercises can move the body, relieve fatigue, relax the mind and body, and release stress.
They love learning and they love life...
Okay! That's an exaggeration.
Wait another month and see if they still enjoy doing morning exercises so much?!
The three of them followed Fan Ye. Song Jiangli winked at Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni, but unfortunately, their tacit understanding was insufficient. The two of them didn't understand what she meant at all. They just thought she was asking them "What's going on?" and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
Song Jiangli; “……!”
"Teacher, what's going on? Is the school going to give us bonuses? Then you forgot Chu Honghua and Liu Haiyan."
Just ask yourself! You can't count on those two.
"The award will be given out at the general meeting next Monday morning." Fan Ye smiled broadly. "You have brought honor to the school, so of course the whole school should witness it. How can we just give the award out privately?"
oh.
You old man really can't see that I'm not thinking about the school reward, but I secretly want to know why the principal wants us to go?
Song Jiangli was so depressed that his nose started to itch. He glanced at Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni with resentment.
Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni looked innocent, and Xu Yanni even shrugged her shoulders.
Fan Ye was indeed pretending. He saw the interaction between the three students, smiled secretly, and immediately restored his expression.
When they arrived at the principal's office, even though the door was wide open, Fan Ye stopped and knocked twice, "Principal, the person is here."
When Principal Chen motioned them to go in, Wang Zhaozhao and the others had already seen that there was another person inside.
Strange face...uh, familiar face.
Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni looked at each other secretly. This old lady they had met twice in the city?
Principal Chen pointed to the long rattan chair and motioned Wang Zhaozhao and the others to sit there.
Across a long coffee table, the older sister sat directly opposite them, with Principal Chen and Fan Ye sitting on her left and right respectively.
"Little girl, nice to see you again." The older sister, who looked like an old cadre, spoke with a smile.
"Hello……"
Wang Zhaozhao and the others didn't know how to address her. They felt it was a bit inappropriate to call her "Auntie" here, so they simply leaned over and bowed their heads slightly to greet her.
That time at the city library, Song Jiangli also went there, but she was at the back, waiting for the books to be borrowed. She only saw Wang Zhaozhao and the others chatting with an aunt for a few words, and didn't pay much attention.
She was just wondering at the moment, but when she saw Wang Zhaozhao and the others moving, she hurried to follow.
"Director Guan..." Principal Chen looked surprised. What? Do you know him?
"Oh, I didn't expect it would be these three little girls. Last year at the city library, I happened to run into a dozen students from your school..."
The older sister called Director Guan explained, of course also including that she had met Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni on the street not long ago.
And what about Wang Zhaozhao and Xu Yanni?
When they heard Principal Chen calling Director Guan, their first thought was: He is indeed a cadre, and his image fits her well.
"What a coincidence!" Principal Chen sighed with emotion after hearing Director Guan's words. He said to Wang Zhaozhao and the others, "Please introduce yourselves."
Receiving her gaze, Wang Zhaozhao stood up and said, "Hello, Director Guan. My name is Wang Zhaozhao, and I'm a first-year student in the top class of Zhushan County Junior High School."
“…”
