The Pentium Era - South to North

Xiao Zhao left. Zhang Chen refused to admit that this was a fact. He sat there and thought blankly, how could the world be so big and couldn't accommodate a body like Xiao Zhao's ninety-eight pounds.

When he walked to the bathroom, he thought Xiao Zhao would be in the bathroom. In the bathroom, Xiao Zhao's toothbrush cup and towel were still there.

When he walked back to the bedroom, he felt that Xiao Zhao would still be in the bedroom, and Xiao Zhao's clothes were still neatly hanging there in the closet.

He felt that at any moment, he could hear Xiao Zhao calling: "Dear..."

Zhang Chen told himself that it was okay, Xiao Zhao was still there, probably on the stairs, upstairs in the dynamic zone, and Xiao Zhao would appear smiling inadvertently.

How could she leave? She and Zhang Xiangbei were still here, how could she just abandon them and leave by herself? Xiao Zhao said that our family will always be together.

When he was sleeping at night, Zhang Chen vaguely felt Xiao Zhao's hand reaching out and hugging him from behind. Her body was so close to his that he could smell her breath. Zhang Chen suddenly woke up. Turning around, Xiao Zhao was nowhere to be seen, and Zhang Chen burst into tears.

He sat up, took Xiao Zhao's pillow and hugged it to his chest. He looked at the dark sky outside the window, and then he had to admit that Xiao Zhao was gone, gone forever, and would never come back. He had already His Xiao Zhao was lost. Zhang Chen buried his head in Xiao Zhao's pillow and cried.

Liu Ligan, Tan Shuzhen, Lao Tan, He Hongmei and Qu Tianlin discussed together. Tan Shuzhen said that no matter what, Xiao Zhao could not be allowed to leave in such an undignified hurry. There must be a decent farewell party. We all miss her.

Liu Ligan went to talk to Li Yong, and Li Yong called the director of the No. 1 City Hospital. The two discussed on the phone for a long time, and finally decided. He told Liu Ligan that Xiao Zhao's body should be kept in the hospital. Put it in the freezer of the hospital morgue for half a month. When her body is completely free of viruses, it can be sent to the funeral parlor like a normal death.

Liu Ligan knew that Li Yong had used his privilege to be able to do this. Liu Ligan patted Li Yong on the shoulder and said to him, thank you, Li Yong.

Li Yong choked and said, "What are you talking about? I just go to the No. 1 Hospital every day. Watching Xiao Zhao getting worse day by day, I feel a deep sense of powerlessness. "Gangzhi, believe it or not, if Xiao Zhao can get better, just take me." The deputy mayor masturbated, so did I.

Liu Ligan looked at Li Yong and said, I believe it.

Zhang Chen went to the factory. When the workers saw him, they hid on the side. Those who were sitting there working saw him walking over and buried their heads in their work. These simple workers, they really didn’t want to They know what methods and words to use to comfort their bosses. They know that in the entire factory, the bosses are the most vulnerable and deserving of sympathy.

Caidi walked into Zhang Chen's office and said, "Xiao Zhao..." and then started crying and couldn't continue talking.

Zhao Zhigang's eyes were red and he said to Zhang Chen: "It seems like it was yesterday that we worked together in that tailor shop, and now Xiao Zhao... Boss, you have to be strong, there are thousands of people here, and they still rely on you. "

Zhang Chen nodded silently.

Those general agents also knew the news of Xiao Zhao's death. Apart from sending condolence messages to Zhang Chen, no one called Zhang Chen again. Except for He Dongmei, He Dongmei cried as soon as the phone call came. After crying for several minutes, Mr. Zhang said, I was speechless, so he hung up the phone.

Tan Shuzhen and He Hongmei, along with Zhang Chen's parents and Xiao Zhao's parents, went to the cemetery to choose a cemetery. The location of the cemetery was selected, but when it came to choosing a single grave or a double grave, everyone felt a little hesitant. Xiao Zhao's father explain:

"Just choose a single tomb. Zhang Chen is still young and will get married. If I choose a double tomb, what will happen in the future?"

Xiao Zhao's mother also said: "Just leave it alone, Xiao Zhao will understand."

Zhang Chen's father looked at Xiao Zhao's parents and told them, we understand your feelings. For such a big matter, you should ask Chen Chen himself and let him make his own decision.

Zhang Chen's mother was crying on the side. She said, I just can't bear it. In my heart, I only have a daughter-in-law like Xiao Zhao.

Zhang Chen’s father said, what’s the use of saying this now? Who among us is willing to do it?

Zhang Chen received a call from his mother asking him to go home for dinner. Zhang Chen returned home and saw that only four old people were there, Xiang Nan and Xiang Bei, who had been taken away by He Hongmei and Xiaofang.

The four old men solemnly discussed with Zhang Chen the issue of single or double tombs. Zhang Chen blurted out without thinking, "Of course it's a double tomb. I will definitely accompany Xiao Zhao from now on."

Xiao Zhao's father told Zhang Chen that we all understand your relationship with Xiao Zhao, but you are only thirty-nine years old now, and there will be a long time to come, and you will always have to get married again.

Zhang Chen looked at Xiao Zhao's parents and said to them: "I have thought about it these days. Some couples are noisy all their lives. Xiao Zhao and I have been together for more than ten years and have never been popular. Face, compared with them, we are already worth it. They say that one day is worth a hundred days of kindness. Our more than ten years are not worth how many lifetimes others have."

Xiao Zhao's parents looked at each other and wanted to say something. Lao Zhang said, then listen to Chen Chen and choose the double tomb.

On the day of Xiao Zhao's memorial service, Zhao Zhigang and He Hongmei said that all the workers in the factory wanted to go. What should they do? They all said that the boss's wife was very kind to them. They all smiled when they saw her and had no airs at all.

He Hongmei was in a dilemma. She said that there was no room for so many people in the funeral home. Besides, it was still during the epidemic, so it was not good for so many people to leave the factory.

In the end, dozens of representatives were selected, led by Zhao Zhigang, and a factory car drove away.

Although Liu Ligan had chosen the largest farewell hall in Longjuwu Funeral Home, it was still crowded with people. Li Yong came, Chen Qihang and Lin Yiyan came, Sun Hou and Huang Jianren came, Meng Ping brought Qian Fang, Xu Jiaqing and others are here, Zhang Chen and his general agents from all over the country are also here, Xiang Qin and Wang Lizhen are also here.

He Dongmei and her parents, as well as Xiao Zhao's two aunts and uncles, also came over from Chongqing.

Everyone was wearing masks. When the chase meeting reached the last stage, when everyone lined up to bid farewell to Xiao Zhao’s body, they saw Xiao Zhao lying peacefully among the flowers. There were already cries in the farewell hall, awesome. The township chief walked to Xiao Zhao's body and stood still, refusing to go any further. She suddenly stretched out her hand, slapped Xiao Zhao's face, and cried loudly:

"Zhao wa, Zhao wa, you have been the most obedient since you were a child. Why are you so disobedient this time? Zhao wa, Zhao wa, how could you just leave like this..."

While waiting for Xiao Zhao's ashes, Ma Ya came over and said to Zhang Chen: "Brother Zhang, they asked me to tell you that we returned all the goods to the factory. Our store is too small and there is no place to store it. The factory Isn’t it a big place here? Once those goods arrive here, they still belong to us. Wait until next year, Brother Zhang, just send them to us."

Zhang Chen said: "It's okay, I'll refund it to you."

"No, no, no, Brother Zhang, you're just slapping us in the face." Ma Ya said.

After receiving Xiao Zhao's urn from the window and wrapping it in red cloth, the large group of people in the farewell hall moved to the cemetery. Everyone meandered up the mountain. When they arrived at Xiao Zhao's tomb, there was a cemetery staff member who was already carrying a bucket. Mud, waiting here.

Zhang Chen held Xiao Zhao's urn and looked around blankly. There were graves all over the mountains and fields. The wind in the mountain col was chaotic. The wind blew eastward, and the trees faced the west, making rustling noises. , the wind blows to the west, and the leaves face the east, rustling.

Zhang Chen heard Xiao Zhao's voice: "Cool."

Zhang Chenchao looked around, trying to find where Xiao Zhao was, but he was surrounded by familiar faces, but Xiao Zhao was not there.

The staff removed the cement cover on the tomb and cleaned the inside of the tomb with a towel. The tomb was a little damp. He lit two pieces of yellow paper to dry the inside of the tomb. He asked, "Are there any coins?"

Everyone looked for coins in their pockets. After a while, Liu Ligan had a handful in his hand. The staff quickly said that there were too many, too many, four would be enough.

As he spoke, he took four coins from Liu Ligan's hand and placed them in the grave.

Liu Ligan placed a handful of coins in his hand in front of Xiao Zhao's tombstone. On the tombstone, the names of Xiao Zhao and Zhang Chen were engraved side by side. However, Xiao Zhao's name had been outlined in red and black, while Zhang Chen's was still the same. Handwriting carved out of stone.

Liu Ligan shouted: "Xiao Zhao, I'll spend it slowly for you. Don't be stingy. Spend it for your neighbors too. When you're done, call us and we'll send it to you."

Zhang Chen held Xiao Zhao's urn and stood there blankly. He saw the wind blowing the trees and listened to Xiao Zhao say: "It's cold."

He looked around, but he didn't see Xiao Zhao. Where was Xiao Zhao?

"Give me the urn." The staff said to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment. When he understood and wanted to pass the urn in his hand, he heard Xiao Zhao say to him again: "Cool."

Zhang Chen looked around and saw that there were graves all over the mountains and plains, but none of them were familiar to him. Looking at his and Xiao Zhao's tombstones, he suddenly had an unreal feeling.

"Give it to me." the staff member urged.

Zhang Chen suddenly turned around and walked outside along the path in front of the row of tombstones. The people standing on the road didn't know where he was going, but they still got out of the way.

Zhang Chen walked along this path until he reached the main road up the mountain. Zhang Chen held Xiao Zhao's urn and walked down the mountain. Everyone looked at him blankly. When Zhang Chen turned the corner and disappeared, Zhang Chen Only then did they react and chase after them. When they reached the corner, they saw that Zhang Chen had reached the bottom of the mountain and was walking towards the parking lot.

Liu Ligan ran down the mountain. He finally caught up with Zhang Chen in the parking lot. Liu Ligan shouted: "Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen..."

Zhang Chen glanced at him and said to him: "Get in the car and take Xiao Zhao and me home."

Liu Ligan was stunned.

Zhang Chen shouted: "Let's go!"

Liu Ligan quickly said: "Okay."

Liu Lizhan got into his Aston Martin. Zhang Chen held Xiao Zhao's urn and sat in the passenger seat. Liu Lizhan started the car and saw that the people from the group behind him were also following him. Zhang Chen said: "You Isn’t that awesome? Didn’t you say that your car is very fast? Drive faster and take us home.”

Zhang Chen felt that he and Xiao Zhao should stay as far away from this place as possible, so that Xiao Zhao would not say "cold" to him.
