Yan Ning considered for a moment before speaking, "Second Uncle, my father, Aunt Bai, and my younger brother died of gas poisoning at home yesterday. Their bodies were cremated this morning."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed stunned, breathing heavily, and spoke after more than ten seconds, "Xiao Ning, what's going on with you now?
Don't be afraid, I'll ask your fifth uncle to buy a ticket to accompany your grandfather to Beijing tomorrow."
Yan Ning quickly explained, "Second Uncle, the Bai family has already taken care of my father's funeral.
Grandpa doesn't need to come to Beijing anymore.
The journey is long, and Grandpa's health can't handle the train ride."
"You ask your fifth uncle to go to the police station to get a household registration certificate.
Come to Beijing to help me transfer my household registration back to my hometown,
The housing unit we are currently living in will also be taken back.
I really don't know what to do alone.
I don’t want to stay in Beijing anymore.”
Yan Guopu replied: "Okay, I will tell your fifth uncle, don't worry about the household registration issue.
I told him to buy a ticket to Beijing tomorrow morning. Be careful and stay safe these two days."
Yan Ning: "Second Uncle, I understand. Tell Fifth Uncle to take a bus to the house on the left on the third floor of Building No. 2 in the Municipal Government's Family Compound after arriving in Beijing."
After Yan Ning hung up the phone, he paid four yuan and sixty cents.
Tsk, making phone calls is really expensive nowadays.
…
Daliushu Production Brigade.
After Yan Guoshu hung up the phone, he hurried home.
It was dinner time, and the prepared food was placed on the table in the main hall.
The whole family was waiting for him to come back for dinner.
Seeing Yan Guoshu walk into the yard, Old Man Yan stood up from the recliner and waved to his two grandsons sitting in the yard, "It's time for dinner."
Yan Guoshu paused, thinking whether to talk about it now or after dinner.
"Second brother, what are you doing standing there? Come and eat quickly."
Old Mrs. Yan saw her second son standing in the yard stupidly and shouted loudly.
Yan Guoshu came to his senses and entered the main room.
Let’s talk about it after dinner. If I tell you now, my parents may not be able to bear it and won’t be able to eat. What should I do?
Yan Guoshu found the meal tasteless.
After dinner, Yan Guoshu stopped Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan who were about to take a nap.
There was a trace of sadness on his serious face. "Mom and Dad, I just received a call from Ning Yatou in the brigade."
Old Master Yan noticed that Yan Guoshu's expression was a little strange and asked, "What did Ning girl call to say? What happened to your eldest brother?"
Yan Guoshu was afraid that the old couple would not be able to accept it, so he spoke hesitantly, "Ning girl said that my eldest brother and his family... died of gas poisoning at home..."
"What did you say?" Old Mrs. Yan couldn't believe what she heard.
Old Master Yan also had an expression of disbelief on his face, "Who died of gas poisoning?"
Yan Guoshu's face was filled with grief, and his voice was low, "It's my elder brother, my elder sister-in-law, and Xiaochen.
Ning Yatou was not at home on the day of the accident, so she escaped the disaster.
Big brother and his friends' bodies were cremated this morning."
Old Master Yan staggered and almost fell, and Yan Guoshu hurriedly supported him.
Old Mrs. Yan fell down on the kang and burst into tears, "My son..."
Yan Guoshu helped Old Man Yan sit on the kang and continued, "Now Ning girl is the only one left at home in Beijing.
The company that owns the house is going to take it back, and Ning is now all alone.
I plan to ask Xiaowu to buy a ticket for tomorrow morning's train to Beijing.
Bring Ning back, and move her household registration back as well."
Old Master Yan's eyes were red, and he tried hard to hold back his tears and ordered, "Call Xiao Si and ask him to take a leave and go with Xiao Wu.
Ning Yatou is a little girl, it would be more convenient for her aunt to go.
Let them leave early and bring Ning back safely."
Yan Guoshu nodded with a heavy heart.
There are too many things going on in the brigade recently, and he is the brigade leader and cannot leave, otherwise he would have to go to Beijing in person.
Old Master Yan asked him again, "How did you handle your eldest brother and the others' funeral? Did Miss Ning tell you anything?"
Yan Guoshu: "Ms. Ning said that the Bai family has taken care of Big Brother and his family's funeral arrangements."
The pain of losing a son bent Mr. Yan's straight back.
Old Master Yan waved his hand and said in a suppressed voice, "Go ahead, tell Xiao Si and Xiao Wu to get ready early, don't waste time."
Yan Guoshu looked at Old Man Yan, who was trying hard to suppress his grief, his voice choked with sobs.
Old Mrs. Yan had already cried so hard that she couldn't breathe.
Yan Guoshu had no time to comfort him, so he had to call his fourth sister and fifth brother first.
When he arrived at the brigade office, he first called Yan Guodong's office.
The call was connected. "Hello, who is this?"
The voice didn't sound like Yan Guodong's.
Yan Guoshu: "Hello, I'm from the Daliushu Production Brigade. I'm looking for your Secretary Yan."
A voice came from the other side, "Wait a moment, Secretary Yan has gone out and will be back soon."
After waiting for a few minutes, the voice came from the microphone again.
"Hello! I'm Yan Guodong. May I ask who you are?"
Yan Guoshu: "It's me, your second brother. It's like this. Something happened to your eldest brother's family and no one is alive.
Now Xiao Ning is the only one left, I can't leave here,
Please take a leave and take the train to Beijing with your fourth sister tomorrow morning to pick up Xiao Ning.
By the way, move her household registration back to her hometown."
Yan Guodong, who was on the other side of the phone, was shocked. "Brother, how could they..."
Yan Guoshu interrupted his long-winded words, "Don't ask so many questions first, please take five days off.
Then I'll buy two tickets for the earliest train to Beijing tomorrow morning and come home in the evening."
