After the wedding banquet, Jin Wen’s younger brother Jin Wu heard about the car fare and took the initiative to bear the cost. After all, as the stationmaster of the city coal station, he was not short of money.
Besides, Jin Wu only has one daughter in his family, so she treats her two nephews like her own children, so it’s no big deal to give them some money.
Moreover, Zhao Zhi's family was poor, so he privately subsidized Zhang Nailin with tens of thousands of yuan.
After the wedding, Zhang Nailin and his wife went to the capital. When they first arrived, they had no connections and were unfamiliar with Taipei, so they could only share a basement with others.
Time passed quickly, and three months later, after interviewing more than a hundred companies, Zhang Nailin finally chose an import and export trading company.
The company is not big, but it has a good atmosphere, friendly colleagues, and the boss is easy to talk to. Most importantly, it is close to her home, making it convenient for commuting.
On this day, Zhang Nailin came to the company early and started her first day of work.
She was assigned to a small team and was responsible for some simple import and export business with several other young people.
Although these businesses were not unfamiliar to Zhang Nailin, she still listened carefully to her colleagues' explanations and raised her own questions from time to time.
The morning passed quickly and Zhang Nailin felt a little tired, but she did not rest. Instead, she continued to stay in the office to learn relevant business knowledge.
In the afternoon, she attended a meeting with her colleagues to learn about the company's recent business situation and future development plans. This meeting gave Zhang Nailin a deeper understanding of the company and made her realize the responsibilities she shoulders.
When she gets off work, Zhang Nailin feels that she has gained a lot. She knows that if she wants to gain a foothold in this industry, there is still a lot to learn and master.
But she believed that as long as she worked hard, she would be able to achieve good results. After returning home, Zhang Nailin called her family and told them about her work today.
After hearing this, her family members were happy for her and encouraged her to keep going.
In the following days, Zhang Nailin lived a fulfilling and busy life every day. She continued to learn and improve, and gradually adapted to the company's rhythm and atmosphere.
At the same time, she also made many new friends. They helped and supported each other and overcame difficulties together.
Moreover, Zhang Nailin has enrolled in an English training institution, and after get off work, she will go to further learn professional knowledge of English.
Before in school, she only learned some simple oral conversations, but her professional knowledge was not enough for a foreign trade company, so she would secretly take extra classes to learn.
Zhao Zhi is a technical talent. He directly applied for a job at a telecommunications company. In that era, telecommunications was a very popular profession.
At the turn of the millennium, Xiaolingtong was launched on the market. Although it had not yet been fully promoted, it soon received positive reviews and feedback from users. Zhao Zhi's professional skills were also unanimously recognized by the leaders.
The couple worked hard in their respective fields, and gradually they gained a foothold in Taipei.
In the fall of 2001, Zhang Weiren and Jin Wen went to Taipei City. When they found out that their daughter and son-in-law were living in the basement, they were heartbroken.
Not long after, Zhang Weiren generously bought them a house of more than 80 square meters in the third ring road of Beijing. The house has two bedrooms, a reasonable layout and a good environment.
One of the bedrooms was occupied by the couple, and the other was left for Zhang Shijie to use. In this way, they could have their own private space and take care of each other.
The total cost of buying and renovating this house was 550,000 yuan, and Zhang Nailin's name is on the property certificate.
Zhang Weiren and Jin Wen had agreed with the two siblings in advance that the only property in the family that belonged to their daughter was the house, and the rest belonged to their son.
In fact, the two of them didn't have much money left. Over the years, they had spent a lot on Jin Wen's medical treatment, their social interactions, etc., so they didn't have much cash at all.
The only valuable thing is the house, and this real estate will belong to Zhang Shijie in the future.
The two siblings are one year apart in age and have always had a good relationship, so they have no objection to this assignment.
In today's era, computers are indispensable for both study and work, so Zhang Weiren bought a laptop for each of his two children.
Zhang Weiren and Jin Wen felt relieved when they saw their two children move into the new house and get stable jobs.
Not long after the two returned home, Jin Wen fell completely ill. Her body had been at the end of its strength, and she had been relying on willpower to persevere over the years.
Seeing that the children had grown up, both of them had jobs, and his daughter had a family, Jin Wen felt relieved.
After falling down this time, Jin Wen never got up again. Two days later, at the age of 48, she left this world completely.
After Jin Wen disappeared, Zhang Weiren sat motionless on the sofa, not speaking or doing anything, his face pale.
Zhang Weifang and his wife helped to receive the relatives and friends of the Zhang family, while Jin Wu entertained their guests.
After a series of ceremonies and procedures, Jin Wen was finally sent to the crematorium, where her body will undergo final treatment and turn into ashes and return to nature.
The crematorium staff carefully placed his body into the crematorium, closed the door and started the equipment.
As the flames rose, Jin Wen's body gradually disappeared, leaving only a pile of ashes.
These ashes will be the last traces of her life and her final farewell to this world. The whole process is solemn and dignified, which makes people feel awe.
After the cremation, Zhang Weiren silently picked up the box containing Jinwen's ashes, holding it carefully as if it was the most precious treasure in his life.
He walked slowly towards the cemetery, his steps seemed heavy and slow, and every step seemed to be a struggle against time and fate, but he was powerless to stop it.
Finally arriving at the cemetery, Zhang Weiren gently placed the urn in the grave that had been prepared long ago.
He stared at the cold tombstone quietly, his eyes full of sadness and longing. At this moment, he seemed to see Jin Wen's gentle smile and hear her kind voice.
However, everything has become the past, leaving only endless sorrow and loneliness.
Zhang Nailin and Zhang Shijie knelt on the ground and cried loudly, while Zhang Weiren knelt silently in front of the tombstone, tears streaming down his face.
Zhang Weifang watched all this from behind and felt very sad and bitter. She slowly walked to her brother, reached out her hand and gently helped him up.
Zhang Weiren slowly stood up, but his eyes remained on the tombstone, as if he wanted to take another look at the words on it.
