Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

The funeral convoy headed for Daxing's hometown of Xingtai with double flashes. Feng Daxing's hometown was a very remote village. The house where the family lived was low and dilapidated. There was a donkey in the corner of the yard and the smell was great. Xuntian.

Dozens of cars suddenly filled up the road in the village. More than 200 young men shocked the villagers. They began to guess that Feng Daxing had become famous in the capital, and there were so many people coming to see him after he died.

This is face. Gao Hongda felt that the only way he could handle Feng Daxing's funeral affairs decently would be to make him feel better.

According to local customs, the ashes of the deceased should be kept at home for at least three days, and a theater troupe should be invited to sing local operas for three consecutive days and a grand banquet should be held. Feng Daxing's parents felt that their son had not yet married, so they believed that such extravagance was unnecessary and suggested that he be buried as soon as possible.

Gao Hongda insisted on making a big deal, but considering that too much time delay would prolong the sadness of the two elders, he finally decided to invite the best theater troupe in the local county to sing for a day, and he would never be allowed to be buried quietly. . If you don’t live a glorious day in life, you have to make up for it in death. We must not let the living brothers feel cold, otherwise it will be difficult to lead the team.

The people in the village are very enthusiastic, and almost every household has someone to help. Feng Daxing is a junior, so there are not many people who come to pay their respects, but there are many people who watch the fun, and they all come for the nearly 200 young men in black clothes. , everyone was speculating about Feng Daxing’s occupation: He probably became a gangster boss outside!

The person collecting the silk money in the tea shed was scratching his head. Each of Feng Daxing's brothers grabbed a wad of money and lined up to wait for the gift. Each person was 5 yuan. The person counting the money was so tired that he was sweating profusely. After half a day, more than 100 million was finally collected, and a bamboo basket was filled with it. The person in charge was afraid of accidents, so he specially arranged a few strong young men in the village to be responsible for guarding the money. The people in the village had never seen so much money. Shocked, soon the news spread all over the ten miles and eight villages: Feng Daxing was really prosperous outside, and even after death, he was still very majestic.

Seeing so many people being sincere towards Feng Daxing, my parents' mood gradually changed from extremely sad to somewhat gratifying.

Considering that the road leading to the cemetery was muddy, Gao Hongda asked the villagers to call the town's excavator and forklift to smooth the road. He also paid for a tractor to pull dozens of loads of gravel. That day Three kilometers of roads were built, and this feat once again shocked the villagers.

Dozens of tables of running water mats were set up in the village, with eight cool and eight hot, suitable for both cigarettes and wine. A stage was built, a troupe was invited, and hundreds of large and small wreaths were placed everywhere to create a grand scene.

Distant relatives who had not been in contact with the Feng family for many years also came to express their condolences after hearing the news. They felt that such a relative could not just cut off contact with such a relative because he had such a promising child and had received so much money. It proves that sentence, wealth has distant relatives in the mountains.

In order to solve the accommodation problem of so many people, all the large and small hotels in the town were booked.

The town police station learned that there were so many people dressed as gangsters in the village, and specially deployed police forces to maintain order at the scene, for fear of causing any trouble. Almost all of the more than 200 young men have tattoos on their bodies, and they all look fierce and walk as if they have hemorrhoids that have not been cured for twenty years. If you insist that they are good people, few people will believe it.

No matter how grand the ostentation is, it is only for living people to see. Gao Hongda sincerely hopes that this kind of scene should be arranged at Feng Daxing's wedding instead of his funeral.

That night, only a few of Feng Daxing's close brothers stayed in the mourning hall to spend the last night with him. They sat in the haystack and drank for half the night. When they were drunk, they fell asleep on the floor.

Feng Daxing in the photo looked at the group of brothers with a smile. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to get up and drink with everyone again.

The next day was busy for most of the day. Everyone lined up in a long line and took turns carrying the coffin to take Feng Daxing to the cemetery and lay him to rest.

After all this work, Liu Xin proudly gave each of his brothers a thousand yuan for their hard work. Although most of them came here for Yan Gaoliang's prestige in the eastern suburbs, when people come out to hang out, whoever comes out is not just for money. We can't let others work in vain for two or three days, and most of the cars are rented by them. How can we show the generosity of the big brother in the eastern suburbs society if we don't pay him.

Gao Hongda was the last to leave Xingtai. He returned to Feng Daxing's home and handed over a bunch of house keys: "Uncle Feng, people can't be resurrected after death, so you all should accept your condolences. Although Daxing is gone, this brotherly relationship will last forever. You are all here. I bought you a house in the town. It was originally intended to be used by Daxing for his wedding, but unfortunately he can no longer use it. His younger brothers and sisters are all studying in the town, and it is not convenient to go back and forth to the village. So you all move there. Let's go. Open a shop and do some business in the town, and don't plant this little land. You won't be able to harvest many crops if you work hard."

Feng's father and Feng's mother resolutely refused to accept it. After pushing and shoving for a long time, Feng's mother said: "My children, you have done enough. Don't think that we don't know that you have used so much money as silk gold. We already owe you." I don’t know how I can return this favor to you! I can’t ask for your house anymore!”

Gao Hongda said seriously: "It's easy to say. When Feng Yang and Feng Ling graduate from college and come to work in our company, they will treat it as a return of favor!"

Father Feng continued: "How can this be a return of favor? I'm clearly asking you to help me again! Feng Ling has graduated from junior high school. It doesn't matter if the girl goes to school or not. I want you to take her to the capital to find some work for her." , let’s find a better husband’s family in a few years.”

Gao Hongda shook his head after hearing this: "That won't work. This old rural concept is unacceptable. Girls must also go to school. If they don't go to college, their horizons will always be limited to the countryside. They will only be able to work as coolies for the rest of their lives and will never be able to make a difference. ! Now we have no financial pressure. If you don’t want to pay, I will continue to pay!"

The conversation made the second elder a little embarrassed, and he quickly said that he would definitely let his daughter continue to study in school. The little girl Feng Ling looked at Gao Hongda with gratitude in her eyes.

After arranging all the things, Gao Hongda rushed back to the capital overnight and had to start his busy life again. He wanted to regroup and make himself strong again in the shortest possible time, so strong that Li Development did not dare to provoke him.
