Fengcheng old events

Chapter 15
Zhang Jingli said: "Normally, the separated houses are not given to us, and we don't keep any money. It's fine for you to be normal."

Liu Huawen's daughter-in-law said: "This is our family's private matter. What right do you have to say here as an outsider? Besides, she is rich. The year before, she was full of fur and gold bracelets. How could this happen?" My son is crying and poor again."

Zhang Jingli said: "My sister gave me something. A few years ago, something happened to my family, but it was my sister's private house. That bracelet was my sister's dowry when she married. Did you give your old Liu family a penny?" ? My brother-in-law's money is handed over to the old man when the old man is around, and given to Liu Huawen when the old man leaves, Liu Huawen, if you are a person, tell me, did my brother-in-law give the money to my sister in a month?"

Liu Huawen's daughter-in-law sneered: "Then who knows, why don't you come out and say something in the bed after closing the door?"

Commissioner He glanced at Liu Huawen's wife and asked Liu Huawen, "Is this comrade right? Comrade Hua Qi's salary is usually handed over to you for management?"

Liu Huawen was sweating a little, licked his lips, and said, "Yes, my brother is busy, and I take care of the family affairs." His wife pinched him hard from behind, and he shivered in pain , and didn't dare to scream, his face was flushed red.

Commissioner He nodded and asked Zhang Jingli, "You are Comrade Hua Qi's brother-in-law? What do you think?"

As soon as the door opened, Zhang Jingyi walked out holding Liu Jinrong and leading Liu Zhaofeng.

The three mothers were all in tears, and the little girl was crying uncontrollably.

Zhang Jingyi said: "Leader, I agree to split the family. I don't want the house. I just want my husband's relics. The two children are young, and I don't know how to make a living. I have to have some money in my hands. Otherwise, the children will not be able to eat. .”

Zhang Jingyi was good-looking, but also very thin, hugging a crying little girl, and holding a boy who gritted his teeth and wiped his tears, anyone who really saw it would feel inexplicably sad.

Commissioner He's brows were almost wrinkled together, he looked at his mother and three, then at Liu Huawen, then at Zhang Jingli with an angry face, and said, "If it doesn't work, call the comrades from the county bureau to intervene and investigate carefully. Check it out, give Comrade Hua Qi's family a fair one."

Minister Zheng said, "I agree."

Liu Huawen's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he said, "No, no, no need to bother the comrades of the county bureau. How could I invade my brother's property? I have prepared it a long time ago. I prepared it when my sister-in-law left. Here it is, really, really. I'll fetch it. Bring it. Right now."

He ran into the house, came out with a handkerchief bag in a short while, and handed it to Commissioner He sweating: "Commissioner He, take a look, this is money and bills, there is really only so much, there are many people in the family, and the expenses are not small .”

Zhang Jingli said: "That's not all your children. The eldest and the eldest will come back and ask for money after quitting their business. My brother-in-law is soft-hearted and raised a group of white-eyed wolves for nothing. It's really not worth it."

Commissioner He took the handkerchief bag, opened it and looked at it. It was more than 300 yuan and a small book.Thinking about it, Commissioner He smiled, shook his head, and turned to Zhang Jingyi, "Comrade Zhang Jingyi, what do you think. Don't worry, we will make the decision for you."

Zhang Jingyi said: "I don't want a house, I will take some money to take the children away."

Commissioner He sighed, took out the money in the handkerchief bag, threw the notebook and handkerchief back to Liu Huawen, and said, "It's none of your business here, you stay away for a while." Liu Huawen's daughter-in-law's eyes would fall there The 300 yuan was paid, but Liu Huawen forcibly dragged him away and went back to the house.

Commissioner He said to Zhang Jingyi: "Comrade Hua Qi has contributed to the revolution. On behalf of the Provincial Party Committee and the County Party Committee, I came to see you. Because of some things, I came a bit late and made you suffer."

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern."

Liu Jinrong lay in her mother's arms and said timidly, "Thank you for your concern."

Commissioner He smiled, shook his head, and looked back at Minister Zheng.

Minister Zheng said: "Well, Comrade Zhang Jingyi, do you have any requests, you can make them now."

Zhang Jingyi shook his head, Zhang Jingli said: "Yes, yes, leader, my sister wants to take the child to Benxi, can you make it easier?"

Minister Zheng thought for a while and said: "Now everything is based on book and ticket, and the management is very strict. Even if it goes like this, it will be a problem. In this way, can you find a place to receive and settle down there? It's no problem to move. Yes, come find me when the time comes."

Zhang Jingli said, "Okay, okay, I'll contact you right away, thank you leader."

Minister Zheng took out a brown paper bag and said, "This is a subsidy for Comrade Hua Qi from the province and county. Comrade Zhang Jingyi, please sign."

Zhang Jingyi walked over, took the pen handed over by Minister Zheng, and signed his name in the designated place, but couldn't help but burst into tears, and Liu Huaqi's voice sounded in his ear again: My Jingyi is You are smart, and your handwriting is beautiful. Do you want to learn more?
Minister Zheng looked at it and nodded, then handed the kraft paper bag to Zhang Jingyi, and said, "That's it, that's it, I'm sorry. Come find me if you have anything to do."

Commissioner He also handed over 300 yuan to Zhang Jingyi and said, "That's it, we'll leave. If you have any difficulties, come to the government."

After sending Committee Member He and Minister Zheng away, Zhang Jingyi and Zhang Jingli entered the room. Zhang Jingyi looked around, sighed and said, "Move, sooner or later."

There were not many things, so Zhang Jingyi collected some photos, took some personal belongings of Liu Huaqi, and packed up the things of the two children. She herself only had a few clothes and packed two suitcases. The eldest and second child carried them. People come out of the house.

Standing in the yard, holding Liu Jinrong's hand, Zhang Jingyi turned his head and took a last look at the old house that had brought her infinite joy, and turned his head out of the yard.The door closed behind him, cutting off the last trace of Zhang Jingyi's nostalgia.

Taking the two children to Liu Huaqi's grave and burning some paper incense, and asking the two children to kowtow to their father a few more times, with tears in their eyes, Zhang Jingyi followed her younger brother to leave this once happy county, which also made her heartbroken place.

It was as if she had tasted all the ups and downs of her life here, with pain in her heart, but no reluctance.

"Mom, where are we going?"

"Uncle's house."

"Are we back? I still want to go to school, oh mom, my schoolbag, my schoolbag."

"Don't make trouble. Mom will sew you another good one. We won't be coming back. You can go to school in other places."

Liu Jinrong nodded sensiblely, tightly closed her small mouth, but tears flowed out uncontrollably. She covered her nose and eyes with her small hands, and that beloved schoolbag was getting farther and farther away.
