Captain Zhu and Secretary He were startled and said quickly, "Xiao Wang, don't do this. If you have any requirements, just ask! " "Yes, as long as we can do it, we will do it!"
Wang Huijuan remained motionless and unresponsive.
Lin Qiang stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, come on. Li Ge died heroically for everyone's safety. He died with dignity. If there is anything at home in the future, as long as you call or let people know, our well team will be on call! " He took out a pile of RMB and put it on the table. "This is a little gift from all my brothers in the drilling team!" I wish the captain said, "Xiao Wang, don't be too sad." The team decided to give Comrade Li a pension100,000 yuan. In addition, if your daughter graduates from college now or in the future and wants to work in our geological team, she can do it at any time! " He Wen Kui went on to say, "Xiao Wang, don't be too sad. Although Comrade Lao Li went, he walked brilliantly and openly, which can be said to be a typical example and a banner emerging from the educational activities of our team to maintain the advanced nature of * * *. This ... team party Committee decided to report to the bureau party Committee and the civil affairs bureau for approval that Comrade Li was a martyr. At the same time, the team party Committee will immediately make a decision to call on all party member cadres, especially leading cadres and all employees to carry out activities to learn from Comrade Li! "
Wow-Wang Huijuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he burst into tears. "People are gone ... what's the use of all this ... Lao Li, when our daughter graduated from college, we didn't agree to go to Hainan Island together ... why didn't we leave before the children graduated ... I really left our mother and daughter ... just left ... how can my life be so bitter? How will our mother and daughter live in the future?"
When everyone saw this scene, they quickly persuaded and comforted. Advise her not to cry, or she will cry herself to death. Wang Huijuan like didn't hear, lying in bed crying, shoulders a smoke a smoke.
Strangely, people usually see that she is quite fat and think that she lacks femininity. But now, seeing her face full of pear blossoms and tears, her light makeup has become colorful, making her look so sad and compassionate. Several lesbians who came with me also shed tears, and the sad scene made the noses of the men present sour.
Lin Qiang said, "Sister-in-law, don't cry ... it's easy to hurt your health. If you get sick again, the child calls at school and no one answers at home. Doesn't affecting learning worry her! "
Wang Huijuan just stopped crying and sobbed and said, "Don't ... don't tell the child, this girl ... has attached great importance to her feelings since she was a child, and she is very close to her father ... I am worried that if she knows, she will not be able to stand it ... I will tell her slowly when she comes back from the summer vacation!"
I wish the captain said: "Nothing, everyone has left. It is useless for the child to know it early, and it will also affect her study." Listen, everyone, no one should tell their children about Lao Li in advance, especially if one of your children is a classmate with her, so be careful not to spill the beans! "
He waved at Wen Kui. "That's it. No one will say anything. " Then he looked down at Wang Huijuan and said, "The team is going to set up a funeral leading group, which is responsible for handling the funeral arrangements of Lao Li. We must make sure that he has a good face and dignity. Please rest assured! "
Wang Huijuan began to cry again, and no one could persuade him.
I wish the captain had a discussion with the secretary, and left the team office with the lesbians of two trade unions, while the others went back first.
Everyone walked slowly downstairs, and the office clerk Jiang chased her out and said angrily, "I wish the captain and Secretary He, and you must send a telegram to inform Lao Li's hometown immediately, lest they complain about her in the future!"
"Well, since everyone in Lao Li's hometown pays attention to this, send them a telegram immediately so that people can come and have a last look and say goodbye to the body!" What secretary answer replied.
Captain Zhu asked, "Who else is in his hometown?"
Jiang quickly replied, "She said there was Lao Li's old mother, two brothers and a sister!" " "
"How old is his mother this year?" I wish the captain asked again.
Jiang Zhi said falteringly, "Well ... she didn't say anything, and I didn't ask, so I quickly chased you!"
"Nonsense! How can you do this job? I don't know how old the old lady is, and whether she has any urgent illness. If something good happens on the road again, who can bear the responsibility? " Wish the captain said with a frown.
Lin Qiang said: "I have heard from Lao Li before that their old mother is either 78 or 79 this year, but I have never heard of any illness!"
"Then immediately send an urgent telegram to Lao Li's hometown, and do a good job in docking and accommodation. This is in the charge of director Xia in the office. Lin Qiang, help! "
On the same day, the archaeological team sent an urgent telegram to Li's hometown, saying that Lao Li had an accident and was now being rescued. Please come to his hometown quickly.
On the third morning, Li's mother came to the geological team with one of Lao Li's brothers and sisters. When Lin Qiang saw this scene, he quickly asked, "Aunt, why don't you send a telegram when you are old? Let us pick you up at the station!"
The old man's voice trembled a little. "Hadron, tell your aunt the truth. What happened to the fruit? "
"Aunt, don't worry, sit down and have a rest, drink some water and eat something, and then we will go to see him!" "Say, deliberately change the subject, and ordered zhang to buy some steamed stuffed bun and fried dough sticks.
Li's eldest brother and sister Yvonne eagerly asked, "Captain Lin, what happened to my brother? Is it dangerous? "
Lin Qiang said, "We will see him soon. Hey, why are you here? "
"Yesterday morning, I received a telegram. In the afternoon, my mother took us to the county seat by car, but there was no train. After waiting for a long time, I took the bus 1 1 at night and took the bus all night. " Effin replied.
I poured a cup of hot tea for Li's mother: "Aunt, you have worked hard on the old road. Drink some water! "
Just then, big Zhang Mai came back early. He bought a lot of steamed buns, pancake fruit, tea eggs, fried dough sticks and soybean milk. Everyone knows that he has never been so generous. It can be seen that this is not only a kind of affection and nostalgia for Lao Li, but also a compensation for inner guilt. These days, he has been running around and talking less. Lin Qiang and Jane just silently took something from his hand and gently put it on the table. Lin Qiang said, "Auntie, Yiquan and Yifen have already been bought back. Let's eat first! "
Aunt said: "I can't eat, all of it, you two eat!" " "
Yifen said, "Mom, you can make it up. You haven't eaten for over a day. What can I do if I am hungry? "
Lin Qiang also urged, "Aunt, Yifen is right. People are iron rice steel. You can't eat or drink. When you are old, the child will be blind. "
Jane just said, "OK, auntie, have some!" " "
It took my aunt a long time to speak slowly: "Son, it's not that I don't eat, it's that I really can't eat." I feel like something is wrong in my heart. From last night to now, my right eyelid always jumps, and I don't know why. Hadron, tell your aunt the truth. Is Guo Er ... gone? "
Lin Qiang tried to soften his words: "Aunt, you eat first. Let's go and see him after dinner, and you will know! "
"Go if you want, and come back for dinner to catch up!" Aunt said flatly.
Zhang bent his legs and knelt in front of his aunt: "Aunt-I beg you to eat something. If you don't eat or drink, you will be hungry. How can I explain to Li Ge's spirit ... "
Bang-the bowl in yvonne's hand fell to the ground and broke into several pieces, and the soybean milk also dripped out. There was silence in the room, and no one spoke for a while, only the quartz clock on the wall was ticking.
"What's the matter with my brother? Captain Lin, tell the truth! Ah-what happened to my brother? Talk to me! " Yvonne was so anxious that her voice was a little out of tune.
Aunt and Quan Yi also looked at Lin Qiang with inquiring eyes.
After a long period of sluggishness, Lin Qiang said slowly, "Auntie, don't ... don't be sad. Comrade Guo Yi has left. He died heroically in order to defend the state property and everyone's life! "
"Elder brother ..." Ivane let out a cry, and then began to cry miserably.
Aunt said, "I really guessed ... Guo Er, why are you in such a hurry?" You just celebrated your 50th birthday. Why did you leave in such a hurry? You didn't let my old woman suffer alive! " As he spoke, tears flowed silently from his hazy eyes.
"Aunt, you must always take care of yourself. People can't come back from the dead. Comrade Guo Yi has left. We living people can't be sad, we should take care of ourselves ... if we are always in a hurry, what can we do with one point and one omnipotent? As long as you are old and healthy, Yi Fen and Yi Quan will take good care of you and honor you, and Guo Yi will be able to laugh at Jiuquan! " Lin Qiang said sincerely.
Aunt wiped her tears and looked up and said, "Hadron, you're right ... Aunt doesn't cry, and neither do you two, Yvonne. Didn't captain Lin say that your brother died heroically to defend the state property and everyone's life? He died well! I am a mother. I didn't raise him for nothing ... Hadron, where is the fruit? I'm going to see him now ... give him one last cleaning ... clean him up ... let him clean up ... "
"Mom ... eldest brother ..." Yi Fen choked and threw herself into her mother's arms. Aunt stroked yvonne's long hair and raised her hand to wipe the tears on Yiquan's face. She said sadly, "yvonne, don't be sad. Cheer for me. You should be proud of your brother. Go, go with your mother and say goodbye to your brother! "
Lin Qiang stepped forward, grasped Guo Yi's mother's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Aunt, my biological mother died early ... today you always lose your son ... if you like, you will be my biological mother from now on!" Jane Gang, Xu Bin and others also said together, "Yes, we are all your sons from now on!"
Mother Guo Yi looked at the tears on Lin Qiang's face and everyone's tearful eyes. She repeatedly replied, "Yes, I do. You are all my good sons!" "
Lin Qiang was so excited that he let out a cry gently: "Mom-"Jane Gang and Zhang Zhang echoed the voice. "Mom" and "Niang" sounded like one person. ...
On the third day when Li, Yuan Shiping's relatives came to the team, the team held a memorial service and farewell ceremony for them at the Municipal Revolutionary Cemetery. Maybe it's because God is affectionate, maybe it's because I'm too depressed. Today is cloudy, and my clothes are wet.
At 9: 00 a.m. 15 a.m., several cars, buses and two buses slowly drove into the funeral home compound of the revolutionary cemetery. After the car stopped, Lin Qiang led Jian Gang, Zhang Da and others and comrades in the office of the team, carrying wreaths, elegiac couplets, white flowers, black flags and their portraits into the funeral home 1 Hall. Several lesbians in the team carefully helped Li's old mother and Yuan Shiping's parents into the hall. After getting off the bus, leaders at all levels entered the lounge in turn and sat on the sofa, waiting for the memorial service to begin. Immediately, a female staff member came forward with a white disk, and everyone took it one by one, not on her chest. All cadres of the team organs, well captains and party branch secretaries of the well teams to which the team belongs, managers of various business enterprises, representatives of the workers and the masses, relatives of the deceased, and friends of two comrades before their death all wore white flowers on their chests and filled the mourning hall.
At 9: 30, the memorial service officially began. Captain Zhu Zhijun presided over the memorial service. He first invited Cao, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Bureau, to speak.
Because it is a memorial service, it is not good for everyone to applaud on this occasion, just look forward quietly. Deputy Secretary Cao made a short speech with a heavy expression. On behalf of the bureau's party and government team, director Liu Zhendong and secretary Sun Jianxin, he expressed deep condolences to the two deceased and condolences to the relatives of the two comrades. He also called on party member cadres and drillers to learn from the two comrades, fulfill their duties and make selfless contributions in their respective posts, and make new and greater contributions to global coalfield geological exploration and economic development.
Subsequently, the team's party secretary He delivered a eulogy. He slowly read aloud a way:
Leaders, distinguished guests and comrades: Today, with deep feelings, we solemnly hold a farewell ceremony for the bodies of Comrade Li and Comrade Yuan Shiping here to say goodbye to them. First of all, on behalf of the leading bodies of the Party and the government, I propose a moment of silence for two comrades, Li and Yuan Shiping, who died heroically defending state property.
Secretary He said that since they joined the work, Li and Yuan Shiping have always been loyal to the party's cause, loved coalfield geological work, worked hard, worked honestly, conscientiously, faithfully, made positive progress and achieved remarkable results. Especially since Comrade Li became the secretary of the Party branch of the drilling rig, he has been strict with himself, deeply understood the righteousness, fully supported and cooperated with the leaders of the drilling rig and the work area, and made outstanding contributions to the production and operation of the Beihezhuang work area, the party building and the construction of the two civilizations of the whole team. Practice has proved that the two comrades are worthy of being good comrades trained by the party and the people and good sons trained by two heroic mothers. ...
At this time, in the crowd of the family members of the deceased, a woman's sad cry suddenly came. "Ouch ... my Shiping son ... why did you leave ... my mother ... who will die for me in the future ..." It turned out that Yuan Shiping's mother was crying and Yuan Shiping's father was crying. There was some confusion at the meeting. Immediately, someone in the team office came forward to help Yuan Shiping's mother to the lounge.
After the hall was calm, He Wenkui went on to say that it was precisely because the two comrades only cared about the cause of the party, the cause of coal geology, state property and the safety of others' lives, but not themselves. Because of this, at the critical moment, in the critical moment of gas emission during drilling, and in the face of the danger of burning fire at the drilling site, they ignored their personal safety and made heroic feats of being brave and giving their lives to save lives, and wrote a glorious chapter of maintaining the advanced nature of our team members in educational activities with their young lives.
He Wenkui finally said that the sky is heavy, and people are entrusted with endless grief; Fog and tears AA express people's deep nostalgia. Two comrades, Li and Yuan Shiping, have set up a monument for our cadres and workers with their ordinary lives and great and brilliant achievements. Today, when we bid farewell to two comrades, Li and Yuan Shiping, with deep feelings, we want to say to the two heroes, our good comrades, good comrades, you can rest assured that we living people will follow your example, learn from your lofty spirit, inherit your unfinished business, and strive to push our team's coalfield geological cause and economic development to a new level. Comrade Li is immortal! Comrade Yuan Shiping is immortal!
Subsequently, eight drillers, including Jian Gang and Zhang, who led the 206 drilling team, came to the bodies of Li and Yuan Shiping, and lined up to recite the long poem "The Last Remembrance" written by Xu Bin for the death of Li and Yuan Shiping.
At this moment, in this northern country where the buds are in the first place.
We call you gently for the last time.
Once, we looked for coal exploration in the vast wasteland together.
Once, we raised our glasses together and changed our taste in the misty rain.
But now, you two have left us and walked away.
Leave endless sadness and deep memories for brothers. ...
Looking back on the old days, we practiced together.
Your generosity has let us know the demeanor of big brother.
Your concern made us feel the warmth of our father.
Under your affectionate gaze
From then on, we became as brave as rocks.
In order to let the underground sun, which has been silent for thousands of years, ignite on a cold night
In order to ensure the strength of the energy pillar of the Republic building
We followed you into the secret passage that opened the gates of hell.
Like the magical Prometheus.
Collect underground fires and burn them on the ground.
Unfortunately, the shirt caught fire.
For the safety of the brothers.
You resisted the devil's clutches with your flesh and blood.
Your calmness makes people appreciate the massiness of men.
Finally, the two warriors were overturned by the fire.
The sky is falling and the earth is shaking.
You finally accepted friendship and loyalty.
The hero's smile is engraved on your immortal faces.
The regret of being trapped in the fire scorched your whole body.
When we found your moving body,
Our hearts are twisted like knives and oiled.
Cry and cry and hug you tightly.
Painfully stroking your blackened wound
Tears splash on your cold forehead. ...
The earth is long and the years are like songs.
In the future, no matter how long time has passed.
As long as every time you two say goodbye to us.
We will look at your portrait silently.
Pour two glasses of wine slowly and light two cigarettes slowly.
Sing another song of blessing, pray for you and miss you.
Maybe we have an afterlife, maybe we can meet in heaven.
One last word with you.
Don't worry, comrades! Rest in peace, brother
You died for us, we will work hard and cherish life.
Let your blood flow on us forever.
Let your hearts beat in our chests forever.
Your unfinished business will be handed down from generation to generation.
After the poem was recited, I wish the captain announced his farewell to the body.
So, in the sound of funeral music, three or five people bowed to the bodies of Li and Yuan Shiping in turn, and then shook hands with their relatives. As you can see, Li's wife is crying, while Li's mother looks righteous, touching and respectful.
After the memorial service, my mother Li will go back soon. The old man didn't ask for anything. She left all the100000 yuan pension given by the team to her daughter-in-law Wang Huijuan.
Li's mother said to her, "Juaner, it's not easy for you these years. In my early years, Guo Yi was in the army, and my family couldn't help you. It should be better to change jobs later. But who wants to be assigned to the geological team has been in the wild, but I still can't help you ... Daughter, you have suffered, and we Lao Li know your kindness ... My upright son will thank you in the end! The money is of no use to an old woman like me. I still have yvonne and her brothers and sisters to take care of me at home, so leave it to you and my granddaughter Beibei! "
Wang Huijuan was very sad. She sobbed and said, "Mom, you should take some money anyway. You grew up in Italy, and you know best how much you have suffered ... ". Now that he's gone ... you can keep the money to support your family. I have a salary here, and Beibei will soon graduate from college. You say how the conditions are better than yours ... If you don't, I will feel bad all my life, and the spirit of patriotism will scold me ... "
Li's mother wiped the tears from her eyes with her fingers and said with a wry smile, "Daughter, listen to me. This money is not only for you, but also for Beibei ... The child has no father, which is poor. This money is even Guo Yi's last care and upbringing ... Besides, your daughter is still young, and you will move forward when you have the right one. As long as you are kind to Beibei, my mother-in-law will close her eyes.
Wang Huijuan didn't do it anyway, so she had to give her pension to her mother-in-law. If she said no, she wouldn't kneel down.
No way, the old man finally agreed with a tearful nod, but he refused to take half of it. He only took 30 thousand yuan and Li's ashes, and then returned home with a fenfen and his sister. ...
Li is gone forever.
His helmet, overalls and clothes are still in the dormitory. More valuable things, such as radios, were taken away by his wife and mother, leaving only some production tools distributed by the drilling team to the drillers.
These days, when Lin Qiang returns to the dormitory and sees these things, he will think of the days and nights when they were together. Perhaps this is the affection and friendship between friends. When people are together, they don't need too many words to express their friendship, and sometimes even conflict for work and personal interests, but once things are over, it's over. Now, as a partner for several years, people suddenly leave forever, and those who compete with themselves for the position of director of the work area are gone, but Lin Qiang feels empty.
Whenever the dead of night, Lin Qiang often silently sings the old song "Remembering Comrades" in his heart. With the deepening of singing, I seem to see Lao Li standing in front of my eyes again, and I seem to hear Lao Li's hearty laughter again.
When I bid farewell to my comrades-in-arms,
It seems that the avalanche is soaring.
Ah, my dear comrades-
I'll never see your majestic figure again,
Lovely face ...
It was really an avalanche, and the ground collapsed. I will never see Lao Li again, and it is difficult to find a big brother like Lao Li to board with the well team. It is said that the party and government work is not well coordinated. On the surface, they are polite, but they all want to have the final say and don't buy it. Speaking of it, their relationship with Secretary Li is still very good, and they are also very United and harmonious. Lao Li is ten years older than himself. He doesn't talk about seniority. He doesn't tear down his desk at work, but often makes it up by himself. What kind of state is this? It is normal for such people to want a promotion even if they have some ideas. He doesn't want to go up the stairs. Lin Qiang felt a little ashamed of Lao Li. If Lao Li were still alive, he would recommend Lao Li as the director of the work area. He would like to be a secretary and play drums for his brother.
Usually, Lin Qiang hardly stays in the dormitory except sleeping, so as not to be moved by the scene and miss people. He doesn't want to continue working and thinking in that sad mood. Outside, when he was with the driller's brothers, he seemed to feel better in the intense geological exploration.
