The old people in Linghai will prepare longevity materials and shrouds for themselves when they are sixty or seventy years old.

During his lifetime, Lao Qian felt that hiring a carpenter to make a coffin was meaningless and would have a bad impact. After all, his grandson was a police officer and he himself was a party member. He could not take the lead in engaging in feudal superstition, so he did not make a coffin. As for the shroud, he found it unsightly and half-jokingly said more than once to old friends such as Principal Gao, Dean Chen and Zhu Baogen that he could wear a military uniform after his death.

The only preparation I made was a posthumous photo, taken wearing an old military cap and uniform.

Zhu Baogen didn't know how many times he had helped people organize funerals. He thought it was better for an old man to wear an old military cap and uniform than to wear a rustic shroud. So with the consent of Lao Liang, Xiao Yu, Han Yu and other relatives, they helped Lao Qian put on his old military uniform.

Li Weiguo, Lao Ding, Lao Zhang, Zhang Junyan, Jiang Xiaojun and other senior officers from Laoyanjiang Police Station and Lao Bailonggang Police Station received the bad news and rushed to Bailonggang one after another. Yu Xiangqian, who was recently promoted to deputy director of the Provincial People's Congress, received a call from Xiaoyu and was on his way to Bailong Port in a hurry.

Ma Jintao, director of the Water Branch of the Binjiang City Public Security Bureau, often ate the food cooked by Lao Qian. As soon as he received a call from Xiaoyu, he asked for leave and rushed to Bailong Port. After bowing to Lao Qian's body, he joined Xu Mingyuan and Zhang Lan. Assist Xiaoyu and Han Yu with funeral arrangements.

Another old friend passed away, and Li Weiguo felt sad.

In Xiaoyu's family, Li Weiguo's status is second only to Lao Qian!

Naturally, Li Weiguo had to decide how to organize the next funeral.

Together with Lao Liang and his wife, Lao Qian's two nephews, and Xiaoyu and his wife, he sorted out Lao Qian's belongings, and in front of Sister Zhu, Zhang Junyan, Han Gong, Lao Han, Principal Gao, and Dean Chen, he In the newly built pergola at the gate, he explained things that Lao Qian had not had time to explain.

"Cao Da, Cao Er, your uncle told us more than once during his lifetime that he has nothing to worry about at Xiaoyu's house. The only thing he worries about is you two brothers. There are 68,000 yuan in these passbooks. Looking back I’ll ask Xiaoyu to go to the credit union and take it out, and you two will get 34,000 yuan each.”

Cao Da hurriedly said: "Instructor Li, we don't want this money, we have money."

Cao Er also said eagerly: "We will go to a nursing home in a few years. What do we need so much money for?"

"Uncle, second uncle, we won't let you go to a nursing home." Xiaoyu cried and said, "You stay with us from now on, and I will care for you until you die!"

"Yes, don't go to the nursing home." Lao Liang nodded seriously and sincerely.

"Isn't this good?" Cao Da hesitated and said.

"There's nothing wrong with it." Old Li took a deep breath and said decisively: "Old Liang and your sister will go to the East China Sea to help Xiaoyu take care of the children. This home cannot be left unattended. You can move here at any time. That’s what your uncle meant.”

"Okay, let's go to the nursing home after we can't do any more work."

"Here we go again, what are you talking about?" Lao Li's face straightened, and he continued: "You should also hold the money. If you have some money in your hand, you won't panic! But there is something to say in front of you. In the future You can play cards, but you can’t play that big.”

Lao Li was the old police officer. Cao Da and Cao Er were most afraid of the police. He nodded repeatedly and swore never to gamble again.

Lao Li nodded with satisfaction, picked up Lao Qian's diary when he was young and turned around and said: "Xiaoyu, this is the diary your grandpa wrote when he was resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. I have known him for so many years, but he has never shown it to me. I just turned it over After reading it, it is very meaningful. Now I will give the diary to you. You and Xianyu should take a good look at it. After reading it, you can make your own decision whether to leave it to the little crocodile or donate it to the relevant department. "

"Uncle Li, I have read grandpa's diary."

"I've seen it too."

"When did you watch it?"

"I used to work at Yanjiang Police Station." Han Yu said with emotion.

Lao Qian was serious. He showed the diary to the children, but not to me and Xu Sanye... Lao Li subconsciously looked at Lao Qian's body and simply handed the diary to Xiaoyu.

After explaining Lao Qian's funeral affairs, Secretary Huo and Mayor Yang of Factory No. 4 arrived.

Before they could greet everyone, Lao Li stood up and said: "Secretary Huo, Lao Qian is an old party member and veteran soldier. According to regulations, the party flag can be placed on his body and urn, but it must be approved by the superior party committee where the organizational relationship is located. On behalf of Lao Qian’s relatives, I formally applied to the town party committee and asked the town party committee to study it.”

It turns out that party members can raise the party flag after their death!

Han Yu really didn't know. He had always thought that he had to reach a certain administrative level to be qualified. Xiaoyu didn't expect that his grandfather would enjoy such posthumous treatment. He stared at Secretary Huo and hesitated to speak.

Two hours ago, Secretary Qian personally called to ask about Qian Youfu's death.

Secretary Huo was confused at first, but later he learned that Deputy Mayor Li, who was in charge of civil affairs, did not take Lao Qian's death seriously. In the final analysis, Deputy Mayor Li has just been transferred and does not know the situation of the "two fishes" in Bailonggang. If he knew that the "two fishes" in Bailonggang were grown up by Qian Youfu, this would definitely not happen. thing.

This afternoon, Secretary Qian and Minister Yang of the Ministry of Armed Forces are going to the funeral home to attend Qian Youfu's farewell ceremony. The town cannot do nothing.

Secretary Huo quickly said: "Li Jiao, leaders, Mayor Yang and I studied it before we came here. Comrade Qian Youfu can cover the party flag."

"Have you really studied it?"

"Really, if you don't believe me, you can ask Mayor Yang."

"We don't have a party flag here."

"I'll call someone to deliver it right now."

"thank you."

"You're welcome, this is what we should do."

Li Weiguo nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and said: "Xiaoyu, Xianyu, after the party flag is delivered, you two brothers will cover it for Lao Qian, but the party flag cannot touch the ground, cannot be cremated with the body, and cannot be buried with the urn."

"Yes, we will pay attention!" Xiaoyu said hurriedly.

Li Weiguo took out his mobile phone to check the time, and asked: "Mingyuan, Jintao, have you contacted the car?"

"Report to Li Jiao, the contact has been made. Manager Wang of the truck company said that it will arrive on time at four o'clock." Xu Mingyuan squeezed in with his mobile phone, thought about it and said: "Director Yu just called me, his car has arrived in Yangzhou, let's eat first, don't wait for him."

Secretary Huo couldn't help asking: "Li Jiao, which Director Yu?"

"Deputy Director Yu of the Provincial People's Congress."

Yu Xiangqian, that's a deputy provincial leader!

Secretary Huo realized why Secretary Qian attached so much importance to it, and was so scared that he dared not say anything. Mayor Yang was stunned for a moment, and asked anxiously: "Li Jiao, if you need our town to do anything, just tell us."

"We have contacted the funeral car, and the funeral home has also been arranged. It's fine if you two can come. We won't cause trouble for the town."

"Comrade Qian Youfu is an old party member and old soldier. This is not only your business, but also our town's business."

"In this case, please ask the old leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative if they are willing to accompany us to send Old Qian off."

"Okay, I'll call them right away."

...

Although Old Qian has no children, his funeral is more grand than that of most old people with many children and grandchildren.

Almost all the nearby villagers who were at home came, and they all came with paper money, queuing up to kowtow to Old Qian's body. Han Yu and Xiaoyu followed the old Liang couple and Cao Da and Cao Er to express their gratitude on the side.

Shi Shengyong, deputy director of Linghai Public Security Bureau, came over, Wu Guoqun, deputy inspector of Changhang Public Security Bureau and director of Binjiang Branch, came over, and people from Binjiang Customs, Binjiang Maritime Bureau and Binjiang Marine Fisheries Bureau also came, and they all came with wreaths.

Because there were too many units sending wreaths, Xu Mingyuan had to find a truck to carry wreaths, because there would be a farewell ceremony at the funeral home in the afternoon, and the wreaths had to be taken there for arrangement.

At 2:30 p.m., Lao Ge and Sister Wei brought Xiao Siqi from Donghai to Bailonggang.

Then, Yu Xiangqian also arrived. When they looked at Lao Qian's body, they couldn't help but think of the scene in Bailonggang that year, and also thought of Xu Sanye, sighing and crying.

At 3:45, the funeral car of the funeral home arrived.

Han Yu and Xiaoyu carefully put Lao Qian's body into the crystal coffin and carried it to the funeral car.

The bus that Xu Mingyuan contacted also arrived, and relatives and friends lined up to get on the bus and go to the funeral home to attend the farewell ceremony for Lao Qian's body.

Shi Shengyong came in a police car. After everyone got on the bus, he got into the police car and asked the driver to turn on the police lights and sirens to clear the way in front!

Li Weiguo did not take the bus, nor did he take Yu Xiangqian's car. Instead, he sat in the funeral car with Xiaoyu and Han Yu to accompany Lao Qian.

He looked at Lao Qian covered with the party flag and choked up and said, "Lao Qian, how many years have we known each other? What is our relationship? But you are so good, you just left without saying hello to me, are there any people like you? If you leave, who will send me fish in the future?"

Xiaoyu couldn't control herself again and lay on Lao Qian and cried loudly.

Han Yu recalled the past and covered his mouth with tears.

"Old Qian, you always worry that no one will see you off when you die. With two children here, what do you have to worry about? Open your eyes and look, police cars are clearing the way for you, and vice-provincial leaders are seeing you off. Whose funeral can be as glorious as yours? Although you have no children, you are much better than those of us who have both sons and daughters and many grandchildren!"

Li Weiguo could not continue speaking, and silently cried as he looked out the window.

Bailonggang is very close to Sichang Town. When the motorcade entered the town, the police from the Sichang Traffic Police Squadron, who had received Shi Shengyong's notice, stood at attention and saluted the motorcade, attracting passers-by to watch.

Sichang Town is not far from Linghai City. The urban traffic police squadron also received the notice early, and carried out temporary traffic control at the intersection where the motorcade passed, guided the motorcade to pass quickly, and saluted the motorcade. When the motorcade slowly drove into the funeral home, the parking lot was already full of police cars and military vehicles.

Linghai Armed Forces Minister Yang Jianbo and Linghai Public Security Bureau Deputy Director Fang Zhiqiang led dozens of reserve officers and police officers to attend the farewell ceremony.

Han Yu and Xiaoyu were moved to tears and hurriedly got off the car to express their gratitude.

Yang Jianbo gestured to the four active soldiers of the Armed Forces to carry the coffin, while holding Xiaoyu's hand tightly and said: "Captain Yu, we are not sending your grandfather, nor Lao Qian who used to work in the old Yanjiang Police Station, but Comrade Qian Youfu, a glorious veteran of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army!"

"I know, thank you."

"You're welcome, this is what we should do."
