Sheng Tunan found Secretary Liu and asked him to help find a relocation site for the workers.
Secretary Liu was a man of strong mobility, and he immediately found a militiaman who was strong and not superstitious.
Sheng Tunan then asked Director Chen to take the driver and drive the hearse to the cemetery.
Before moving the graves, Sheng Tunan took out some firecrackers and set them off in a circle around the four connected graves.
When the sound of firecrackers stopped, Sheng Tunan lit incense and candles in front of each grave, kowtowed twice, and invited grandpa and uncles to visit the graves.
After they kowtowed, the militiamen began to dig, starting with Grandpa's. The old man's remains were intact, and Sheng Tunan, with the help and guidance of experienced director Chen, successfully moved Grandpa's body to the new coffin and pasted a note on it with Grandpa's name.
The next one was Sheng Huaiyi's. Director Chen was calm when he saw the bones of a missing hand. After all, he had worked in the Martyrs Cemetery for many years and had encountered many more tragic things than this.
When he saw a lone leg bone in the coffin of Sheng Huai, Director Chen couldn't help but curse, "Damn Chinese people."
After cursing, Director Chen and Wang Ren bowed reverently to the three martyrs.
Finally, Sheng Huaichuan's remains were moved to the hearse. By then, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.
Sheng Tunan evenly gave 100 yuan to a militia comrade, but they all refused to accept it: "Captain Sheng, they are all martyrs, and Grandpa Sheng also fought against the Japanese. We can't accept this money."
Some people didn't know that Sheng Tunan had been promoted and still called him the head of the group.
Sheng Tunan pushed them again, but they refused to speak. Finally, Sheng Tunan had to take back the money and thanked them again before leaving.
Grandma had packed her luggage and was waiting at home. Sheng Tunan drove to pick up grandma. At this time, Zhan Xinyue and Shen Zhiyan had not returned yet.
Sheng Tunan decided to go directly to the Public Security Bureau to find them. In the 1970s, transportation was not well developed, and there was only one main road in the entire county that could be driven by cars, so there was no fear of missing it.
Shen Zhiyan drove away in a car, leaving behind a hearse and a jeep.
There were martyrs on the hearse, and Director Chen took the initiative to get on the hearse and go with the driver to take the heroic souls to the Martyrs' Cemetery.
Sheng Tunan drove the jeep and Minister Wang sat in the back. Grandma was a little carsick, so she picked a few green oranges, peeled them, and half-lying beside the driver, smelling the green scent.
The journey was safe. More than half an hour later, the two cars arrived at the gate of Zhixian Public Security Bureau.
There was a military jeep parked in front of the door. Sheng Tunan knew that Lao Wu and Zhan Xinyue were still at the Public Security Bureau. He was just about to get out of the car when he saw Zhan Xinyue and Shen Zhiyan coming.
Minister Wang knew they had something to say, so he moved his car, asked Shen Zhiyan for the car key, and drove another jeep.
Zhan Xinyue and Shen Zhiyan got in the car. Lao Wu couldn't hide the truth and said angrily as soon as he got in the car,
"Damn it, Kyoto University is the top university in the country. There's actually a rapist among the teachers there. If I catch him, I'll shoot him myself. Luckily, my sister-in-law pressed their laugh points today, and they almost died of laughter. My sister-in-law untied them, but they still refused to confess. My sister-in-law pressed again, and after repeating this five or six times, the two stubborn enemy spies finally confessed. Otherwise, I really can't imagine that such a good school would have a rapist sneaking in! It's so infuriating!!"
Sheng Tunan was surprised, frowned slightly, started the car, and drove towards the capital.
A teacher from Peking University? He remembered that Qu Hui's illegitimate son Qu Zibin seemed to be from Peking University as well.
"Xinyue, do you think this matter has anything to do with Qu Hui and his son?" Sheng Tunan asked when he arrived at Kaizhi County.
Zhan Xinyue sat in the back seat, looking at the scenery outside the window, but her mind kept thinking, "I think so."
