Chapter 16 Buried Youth, Spring Blossoms Bloom

Chapter 16 Buried Youth, Spring Blossoms Bloom

One morning when he went to work, Xian Yaodong told him that Lin Guangwei, Ou Jing, Li Hai, Lai Jihua, and Ke Hongxing had fled.

Nanyi just replied lightly.

The earth is badly damaged, and he has to participate in emergency repairs today, so he has no time to listen to stories.

Another afternoon, another news came that Lin Guangwei was arrested, Ou Jing and Li Hai were deported, Lai Jihua escaped successfully, and Ke Hongxing... died.

"Uncle Xian, I know someone, let's go out to sea."

"That's okay, people have to go to the ground after death."

Ke Hongxing was lucky, Nanyi still found her.

A rope was tied around her waist, and the other end was on the boat. Chuck, the boat drove towards the shore.

On the shore, Liu Zhen was waiting there with a black umbrella, and four coffin heads stood beside her.

When the boat docked, the head of the coffin went into the water to pick up Ke Hongxing, untied the rope around her waist, and tied a straw rope around her waist, and carried the "person" to a door panel and placed it there.

"Captain, what is the regulation?"

The old coffin asked Xian Yaodong what the head of the coffin said.

"This matter, Nanyi decides."

"Uncle Coffin, she died in a foreign land, and her family can't keep up, so let's keep everything simple. However, I still need a pair of coffins. Do you know where there are ready-made ones?"

"There are ready-made ones, but if you want them, not only will you have to spend a lot of money, but you will also have to kowtow to the host's family. You are very lucky to get rich in the coffin."

"Whose family, how much money do you need?"

"Prepare two hundred."

"Okay, I'll go get the money."

"Put it in red paper, insert a cypress leaf, and six pairs of eggs."

"good."

Borrowing red paper, buying eggs, borrowing cypress leaves, and waiting for everything to be done, it took a few hours.

"Uncle Coffin, it's done."

"Forget it, don't go, let me come forward, this kind of thing is unlucky, you are still young, so I will come." The old coffin gritted his teeth and said.

"Zhen'er, give me the umbrella. You go to the brigade and ask for tea. You can buy enough tea from a hundred stores, and you can buy 81 eggs."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Liu Zhen handed the black umbrella to Nanyi and left.

"That's right, young man, he also understands Baijia tea." The old coffin said.

"Know a little bit, Uncle Coffin, I will trouble you about the coffin."

"No trouble, this can be regarded as doing good deeds. You guys are watching here, and I'm going to ask for a coffin."

"Uncle Coffin, wait, you take this."

Nanyi took out six packs of cigarettes and gave one pack to the old coffin, the other three coffin chiefs each had a pack, Xian Yaodong one pack, he kept one pack for himself, and passed it to his right hand with his left hand.

Everyone took the cigarettes and refused politely.

These are all rules, what the family members of the deceased should do, not giving is not in the right way, giving is what should be done.

Giving the left hand to the right, Nanyi can be regarded as fulfilling the roles of family members and helpers.

Holding an umbrella to shield Ke Hongxing from the sun, looking at her face, which had become swollen, Nanyi sighed, lit a cigarette, and his eyes became blurred.

He didn't like Ke Hongxing, but she didn't do anything outrageous. He died in a foreign land and was still floating in the sea, he really couldn't bear to ignore it.

There was no suitable place to bury the body, so everything was kept simple, and Ke Hongxing was buried early the next morning.

He was buried on a beach not far from the sea.

Nanyi carved an epitaph for her: Facing the sea, spring is warm and flowers are blooming. I am stranded on the shore of happiness. The world is very good. In the next life, I will not come.

"This is Ke Hongxing's relic, Nan Yi, should I burn it to her, or should you keep it for her?"

In front of Ke Hongxing's grave, Zhao Hongzhuang asked while holding a box.

"I'll keep it. She still has her parents. I have to leave something for them."

Ke Hongxing left very quietly. Nanyi had prepared a fast meal, but no one from the brigade came to ask for it.

After everything was completed, Nanyi and Liu Zhen returned to Nanzhai with a washbasin in their hands.

"Brother, a good person died like this?"

Liu Zhen made a bowl of rice for Nanyi, scooped a spoonful of soybeans, and picked up some kelp.

"Life is fragile, so we must be strong inside."

"Um."

The two ate the vegetarian meal silently. After eating, Nanyi poured tea from the tea leaves collected from hundreds of families, poured it down from the head, wiped it dry, and went to the field as usual.

...

Ke Hongxing's death did not cause many ripples.

The Educated Youth Office came to find out the situation, and soon, the matter passed like this.

One day, a tiger ran to Wenchangwei.

This tiger can speak human words, from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, he yelled "Liqiu, Liqiu" over and over again.

"Howl, I'll smash you to death with a mooncake."

So what can the tiger do? Nan Yi howled away.

September 27th, the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There is faith in the cool wind, and the boundless autumn moon.

Nan Yi fumbled for the pull rope switch on the wall, and with a click, the round moon was opened.

yard.

Liu Zhen picked up the mooncake and took a bite, her eyes narrowed again.

"Okay, squint well, squint your eyes, Shangqing University." Nan Yi slapped a few feet lower, and shouted: "Little girl, you will definitely be admitted to Qingda University."

"Giggle, bro, you're laughing at me."

"Who made fun of you? Didn't they give you a test paper? As long as you keep your current grades, you will definitely be able to get into Tsinghua University."

"Brother, where do you want to take the exam?"

"Your brother, I have lofty aspirations. As the saying goes, if you have great ambitions, you will be tested for the best. Of course I am the best for the exam."

"Ah, you are not going to take the exam back to the capital?"

"Let's talk about it at that time. My first goal is to go to Yangda University. It will be convenient to do things in the future."

"Oh, then I'll be with my brother."

"No matter which university I go to, you go to Tsinghua University."

"Then I'm not going to separate from my brother."

"The separation is for a better reunion. Don't worry, even if I'm not in the capital, I will go there often. Besides, I will be very busy when I go to university."

"Will it be busy?"

"Yes, you have to study for three years in two years. In your junior year, you have to fight for the government to study abroad. When you come back from studying abroad, you will be a top talent and will be assigned to the most needed and best position."

"Brother, is this the route you designed for me?"

"Isn't it good?"

"Very good, how about you?"

"Stay in school, or come back to be an accountant, cashier or something."

"How is it possible? Didn't you say that the country is short of talents? After graduating from university, you won't be assigned back to the brigade, right?"

"Hehe, it's unlikely, that's basically staying in school."

Whether to stay in school or not, that's what Nanyi said, and what will happen at that time depends on the development of the situation.

"Brother, do you think I am fat?"

"No, you're called Zhuyuanyurun." Nan Yi glanced at him and said, "However, you have to control your food intake. If you gain more flesh, you will really be called fat."

"Stewed pork ribs, stewed pig's feet, braised pork, and stir-fried pork over and over again. I like meat, and I can't control my mouth."

"If you can't control it, you have to control it. Last time at the beach, Uncle Xian almost asked me who you are. Others almost can't recognize you, and you don't look like you when you first came here."

"It's not the same anymore, it's not the same."

"It's really different, look at your hands."

Liu Zhen lit up her hand, the original chicken feet were gone, and now the fingers were still slender, but the palms and backs of the hands became fleshy and fair.

"I read it every day, but I haven't paid much attention to it. It's different."

"From now on, I will eat meat once a week, seafood once every two days, and vegetarian on other days."

"Um."

After eating moon cakes, Liu Zhen made herself a cup of milk powder and made a pot of tea for Nanyi.

The two sat leisurely in the yard and watched the moon.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, the late rice will soon be ripe, and Wenchangwei will enter the busy farming season again.

October 21, the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, is the Double Ninth Festival.

This day, for many people, is very unforgettable.

News of the resumption of the college entrance examination was published in major newspapers across the country. The news was like a stone thrown on a calm lake. At first, it caused ripples, and then like a tornado, it swept across the educated youth spots across the country.

Different from other people's anxiety, excitement, confusion, crying...

At this time, Nanyi was standing on the edge of the Shenzhen River, waiting for Lai Biao again.

"The goods were already in place two days ago. I got the exact news three days ago. There are 100,000 yuan here, which is for you. The rest will be discussed after I return the funds."

Lai Biao put a travel bag on the ground.

Nanyi opened the zipper, took out a stack, and looked at them one by one. After reading a stack, he changed another stack.

Just after checking the five stacks, Lai Biao became impatient.

"Don't worry, it's all in great unity, and you haven't been adulterated."

"Whether it's fake or not, I'd better read it again. As the saying goes, villains come first and then gentlemen. Comrade Lai, I don't deceive others, and I don't want to be deceived."

"All right, all right, take your time."

Lai Biao shook his head helplessly, lit a cigarette, and waited slowly by the side.

After dozens of minutes, Nanyi finished counting the 100 stacks of money.

"The cigarette is gone, take a cigarette."

Lai Biao gave Nan Yi a cigarette, "This deal will be completed soon, what are your plans for the future?"

"Farming, reviewing, taking exams, going to college."

"The black market business is gone?"

"Let's not touch it for now. The college entrance examination will be relaxed, and the economy will be liberalized sooner or later. We will talk about it when we can do business in an aboveboard manner. I advise you to stop."

"It's already being accepted. Just like you, An An will study in college for a few years first. Where are you going to take the exam?"

"Beijing University or Sheep University, it's not decided yet."

"Together?"

"Okay, touch it when you fill out the volunteer."

"good."

The treasure house of the Liu family has been opened by Nanyi, which is almost as he expected. There is nothing too valuable in it. The harvest is five yellow croakers, which are still small; then, there is a box of land deeds, house deeds, and 200 Yuan Datou .

For Nanyi, the treasure house itself is the most valuable, and he can hide his belongings here.

100,000 yuan, 5,000 yuan was given to the brigade, a total of 600 yuan was given to the members who helped print, Xian Yaodong 15,000 yuan, Man Saner had to divide it into 30,000 yuan, and Nanyi kept the rest for himself.

Three yuan and five copies, a total of 200,000 copies were printed, and a total of 700,000 copies were collected.

The cost of doing business is almost the same. In the next two years, I can really settle down and enjoy the time in the ivory tower at school.

The next day, Nan Yi carried some things to the quarry.

He paid the fines to the three of them and said a few good words to the guard.

Finally, through the fence, Nanyi and the three met.

"Lin Guangwei, come closer."

Looking at the three of Lin Guangwei who came over, Nan Yi said with a smile.

"Haha, Nan Yi, you're still welcome, you want to come and see us." Lin Guangwei smiled and approached.

Snapped!

Nanyi slapped Lin Guangwei across the face.

"I want to tell you some good news. The national college entrance examination has resumed, and it was published in the newspaper yesterday."

Hearing what Nanyi said, Li Hai and Ou Jing were very happy, but Lin Guangwei was still in a daze, not knowing why Nanyi beat him.

"I'll tell you another bad news. Ke Hongxing is dead, and I have already buried her. Escape, escape from you, if you didn't provoke her, even if she thought about it, she wouldn't have the courage. You have to decide for her death." Responsibility."

After spraying Lin Guangwei, Nan Yi said to Li Hai and the two: "I have already paid the fine for you, and your time in reeducation through labor will be shorter.

The college entrance examination is set by each province, and the time of the college entrance examination is not uniform. It will be roughly after November 21, and the most likely will be around December 10.

Li Hai, your hukou is not here, you have to rush back to the Northeast to sign up, perform well, and try to get out as soon as possible, otherwise you will miss it. "

"Thank you, Nan Yi, I will definitely perform well."

"Yeah." Nanyi nodded, and passed the travel bag over the fence, "There are books, some daily necessities, and some food in it. You three share one, and I'm leaving."

There is no need to question the unreasonable price of the coffin. Let me make two comparisons.

1. If you use your half-year income to buy a kidney, are you willing to cut it?

2. Pay you half a year's income, and put a coffin of the deceased on your bed for three months.

The seriousness of asking a living person to ask for a coffin is similar to the example I gave. Ask yourself, are you willing to do it? Besides, I have already hinted in the article that this is superstitious, and the older you are, the less willing you are.

I mean, do you think it's more than 200 yuan?

Reform through labor and reeducation through labor are two concepts. If you want to know the specifics, you can search them yourself, and the explanation is too long. To put it simply, reeducation through labor is not a criminal punishment. People who are sent to reeducation through labor may not necessarily commit crimes, and their working hours can be shortened by paying a fine.
