Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 711 Thousands of people send each other off

Chu Xiangqian heard the exclamation coming from the backyard. He was actually already awake, but in order to let the pregnant Xue Jinglan sleep more, he did not get up.

Xue Jinglan is now four and a half months pregnant, and her belly has already become pregnant.

Although he doesn't have to take care of Gong Er these days, he is just as worried as everyone else.

If I don't stay close to Chu Qianqian at night, I can't sleep at all.

Chu Qianqian and his wife had originally wanted Xue Jinglan to return to her parents' home. Although Gong Er was not considered ill, she was still a little taboo because he was critically ill.

It's just that Xiao Lan'er is not willing to leave. She just says that she won't go to the backyard.

And to be honest, after getting married, Xue Jinglan should live in her husband's house even if Chu Xiangqian was not in the capital.

He also had the obligation to take care of his master and his wife for Chu Xiangqian.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian was rich and a Hong Kong student, so no one gossiped about Xue Jinglan going to her parents' house to raise a baby.

Then in trucks and cars, Lian Chu Xiangqian, Hong Kong students, Shi Niang, Yixian Tian, ​​Mr. Zeng, Zhang Haiyang and Xue Jianguo brought several members of his leadership team to the Gong family's old house.

That afternoon, Gong Er's body was put on the train to Fengtian.

Senior brother is also very active when something happens.

For more than two years, I have not only wanted to attract my senior brother to help me.

But if he wanted Chu Xiangqian to give without reservation, Chu Xiangqian really couldn't do it.

But with the Queen of the First Line, even if she practices martial arts, she is still detained in the barber shop by the First Line.

It was just a whisper between the two of them while chatting with the master's wife.

Chu Xiangqian took care of Xue Jinglan during the day and before going to bed at night, so he didn't send her to the Xue family.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian called and went to Hong Kong Island in the morning.

Before Sanjiangshui and Yixiantian, the seven apprentices, Zhang Tianzhi, Zhou Bili, Tony Jia, and Yuanhua, would fly to Fengtian.

Whether he said he was heartless or unjust, Chu Xiangqian admitted that he was selfish.

Xue Jianguo's team, to put it bluntly, handles all kinds of problems for Chu Xiangqian.

To put it bluntly, although the seven senior brothers of Sanjiang Shui are all good in kung fu.

Some people are quick-witted, but not as smart and good as Sanjiang Shui.

It's a pity that success depends first on luck and chance, and secondly on one's ability.

The other seven disciples secretly called Sanjiang Shui a sycophant, but the seven of them had long since lost their jealousy over Sanjiang Shui.

But when he was halfway up, he suddenly fell back onto the bed.

The trains these days are indeed slow, but they are also better than being smooth and secretive.

Of course, I didn't say this to Chu Xiangqian, let alone Xue Jinglan or Hong Kong Sheng.

Chu Xiangqian also understood this. It was quite normal for parents to have preferences for their biological sons, and to prefer Hong Kong students who were biological nieces.

He comforted Xue Jinglan, who was woken up, and told her not to leave the main room. He dressed neatly and left the house.

The mistress and others are also very kind to Xue Jinglan, but they are not as good as those born in Hong Kong.

The master and mistress would not say anything bad about Xue Jinglan.
-
Chu Xiangqian knew that Xiao Lan'er just wanted to stay with him, and they had a backyard and a middle courtyard.

Although Chu Xiangqian didn't pay much attention to them, Sanjiang Shui was the latest among the eight disciples of Yitiantian to become a disciple.

In Hong Kong in the 1950s and 1960s, it was difficult to get ahead if you were not ruthless enough, smart enough, and not lucky enough.

The two sisters, Laidi and Pandi, also had enough manpower.

At this time, he would naturally follow Chu Qianqian to the north.

But she doesn't think she did anything wrong. After all, Gong Er is not her own mother.

After all, I still feel that I can save Gong Er, but I worry about this and that, and watch Gong Er pass away.

The only pity was that Gong Er could not see the birth of Hong Kong's child.

Hearing the shouts from the backyard, Chu leaned forward and subconsciously wanted to get up.

Wealth is not something to talk about, but there is indeed no shortage of food and drink, and being restricted by various rules in the world, it is impossible to develop a brave and aggressive character.

When he met San Jiangshui, the guy cried so sadly that it made Yixian Tian's eyes red. He patted San Jiangshui on the shoulder several times with great pleasure.

The others all stayed in the capital.

After a while, Chu Qianqian sighed.

This is also a regret that Gong Er has mentioned several times in the past few days.

Among the seven people, some just want to stay at the barber shop and live a stable life.

He booked an entire carriage and a freight carriage, hung it at the very back of the train, and walked out of the station to a few staff members, but no one noticed at all.

When the coffin arrived at the Gong family's old residence, those who flew over by plane actually arrived one day earlier than Chu Qianqian and the others.

In the past two and a half years, although he didn't spend much time with Gong Er, his master, and his wife, Chu Qianqian asked himself that he was better to them than many of his own sons.

Seeing that Laidi and Pandi had already arrived, he gave the two sisters a few words before going to the backyard.
-
The Gong family's old residence in the north had already prepared Gong Er's funeral arrangements, and Chu Xiangqian had no plans to set up a mourning hall here in the capital.

If he was just a plainclothes detective, as the plainclothes detective of Chai Wan Police Station, San Jiangshui could indeed take good care of his senior brother.

But Sanjiang Shui is not stupid. A senior brother who is eager to get ahead might be a disaster if he stays by his side.

I can recommend you to other police stations.

The reason is easy to find. Let alone the 60s, Chai Wan was still a remote area of ​​Hong Kong Island with little oil and water even in the 90s.

After two years, no one stands out.

But this is not necessarily a bad thing.

For Yixiantian, it is enough to have water from Sanjiang River like a monkey.

The other seven apprentices can live a stable life, which is what he, the master, wants to see most.

Chu Xiangqian only had nods with these seven senior brothers, and he had noticed very early on that these seven people did not have much ability.

The past two years have also proved his original judgment, and he looks down upon these people even more.

After saying hello to everyone, he looked at Master Zheng and Master Luo who unexpectedly appeared.

Master Zheng is the owner of Baguazhang in Hong Kong, and Master Luo is the owner of Monkey King’s Piguamen.

In fact, these two people had no friendship with Gong Er at all. They came here just because Chu Xiangqian borrowed the name of the Hong Kong Island Martial Arts Association.

There has to be someone from the Hong Kong martial arts circle who comes over to cooperate.

It's just that Chu Xiangqian didn't directly invite anyone before, but asked Zhang Tianzhi to tell the people at the Wushu Association that anyone who was willing to come over would reimburse all expenses.

For Master Zheng and Master Luo, Chu Xiangqian is now considered their bread and butter.

Even the owners of the entire martial arts association have benefited more or less from Chu Xiangqian.

After thinking about others, Master Zheng and Master Luo had the best luck in the end, and they were chosen by lot.

Then Chu Xiangqian saw Hong Sanbao and Hong Zhennan's disciple Aji, as well as Guo Zhenhua and Zhang Rongfei.

Even Chen Xijiu, Lan Gang's confidant Huo Niu, and Fei Bo's confidant Dakou Ying also came.

Wait for Chu Qianqian to finish greeting Master Zheng and Master Luo.

Hong Sanbao then interrupted and said, "Uncle Master, originally my uncle also wanted to come over, but his body may have problems even if he flies.

Only then did Aji and I come to pay homage to Mr. Gong on his behalf. "

Chu nodded forward. After getting off the plane, he had to go to the countryside by car. The round trip took several days. Hong Zhennan was really not suitable for this trip.

As for Master Ye, Chu Xiangqian didn't even send the invitation.

Yixiantian and Shiniang had similar opinions to Chu Xiangqian.

Needless to say, Guo Zhenhua and Zhang Rongfei, now that they know about it, will definitely come with Hong Sanbao if there is nothing urgent. As for Chen Xijiu, Huo Niu and Dakou Ying, they naturally replaced Lei Luo, Lan Gang and Fei Bo.

Chu Xiangqian was not polite, he was Hong Zhennan's junior disciple, he also learned Hong Quan, and he was a direct disciple of the sect.

Naturally, he is Hong Sanbao's real uncle.

Not to mention Guo Zhenhua and Zhang Rongfei, when something happens to Chu Xiangqian, they are more proactive than anyone else.

So Chu Xiangqian asked Sanjiang Shui to take the three of them and follow Yixiantian.

They have something to do so that they don't end up tired and sad when they get older.

As for Chu Xiangqian, he naturally commanded Zhang Haiyang and Zhang Tianzhi's four bodyguards.

With Zhang Haiyang cooperating with Zhang Tianzhi, Chu Qianqian basically does not need to handle the follow-up matters himself.

When Gong Er's coffin entered the main hall of the old house, Chu Xiangqian had time to talk to his master and Lao Jiang.

After some discussions, Chu Xiangqian found out how many side rooms there were in the Gong family, and now he was focused on settling Gong Er's funeral affairs.

When Gong Changqing met them for the first time, he agreed on 10 plus 80 gold bars.

Unfortunately, two houses refused to agree.

The task of building canals started a few days ago and was assigned to more than a dozen villages in the township and surrounding areas dozens of miles away.

If you want another 10 and 80 gold bars, it is impossible.

Fortunately, Gong Changqing didn't want to be too strong, even though the 10 yuan was gone.

But 100 small yellow croakers still gave the Gong family a few rooms.

In addition, the entire township now knows about building canals or repairing the original irrigation network, let alone other villages.

Just in the village where the Gong family's side house is located, all the villagers are now eager for Gong Er to enter the Gong family's ancestral grave.

All fools know that even if Gong Er dies, as long as she remains in the Gong family's ancestral grave, the connections Gong Er and Gong Changqing have made over the years will always favor their hometown.

No one in the whole village would offend Gong Changqing and Chu Xiangqian for such a favor and no expense.

In addition, only the principals of the two houses had been opposed to Gong Er's entry into the ancestral graves before. The others agreed to Gong Changqing from the beginning for the sake of money.

Under such great pressure, the village party secretary only said one sentence: Gong Er is now the benefactor of the entire township. If she doesn't enter her ancestral grave, she will be in trouble with the benefactor of the entire township.

The two old stubborns were easily forced to compromise.

Otherwise, the two heirs will have a hard time here in the future.

In fact, Gong Changqing, like Chu Xiangqian, was worried about not being in the Gong family's old house all year round.

If some local people are pressed and resentful, they will destroy the graves of Gong Baosen and Gong Er.

If someone really did this, they would indeed have a deadly feud with Chu Xiangqian and Gong Changqing.

But even if they get revenge, they have already disturbed Gong Baosen and Gong Er.

So Chu Xiangqian never thought of forcing himself on him from the beginning.

But thinking about it on the other hand, Chu Xiangqian, who was only half a disciple, would have many worries.

It makes no sense, those two old stubborns have nothing to fear.

Moreover, these two people did not agree before because they were worried about spoiling the feng shui and harming their heirs.

Now the attention of the whole town is focused on the village where the Gong family is located because of Chu Xiangqian.

If the two old men don't agree, it will definitely make it impossible for the two families to gain a foothold in the local area.

Teenagers understand the principle of choosing the lesser of two powers, let alone two old men in their seventies or eighties.

In the end, even their descendants began to persuade them, and the two old men only gave up after struggling for two days.

With the cooperation of the Gong family, everything was managed in an orderly manner.

Chu Xiangqian was not short of money, let alone supplies. In the past half month, he had already mobilized supplies from Hong Kong Island.

By the way, a lot of things from the Novice Village warehouse were mixed in and transported with the train.

As for the 3 tons of rice, they had already arrived at the Tianjin Port along with the 2 tons of rice and other meat and fruits that had been promised to the old man.

Since there is no shortage of supplies for daily use, the palace family and visiting guests will naturally not complain about food and use.

So the funeral went smoothly and the first seven days were over before I knew it.

On the day of the funeral, there were so many people attending the funeral that Chu Xiangqian was speechless.

When Gong Baosen passed away and was returned to his ancestral grave, the farewell procession was quite luxurious.

But there are only about a hundred people at most.

But this time, there were actually a thousand people on both sides of the funeral procession, silently watching Gong Er's coffin.

If it weren't for the inconvenient transportation, Chu Xiangqian believed that more people would come.

After all, water canal projects have already started in some places.

They even dispatched soldiers from the two regiments who participated in the Fengtian water canal project to participate.

This efficiency is no joke. I heard that these two groups took only 5 days to sort out and repair all the existing water conservancy facilities that needed to be repaired.

The next step is to dig the canal.

According to the estimates of technicians in the army, it does not take 2 months at all, but 30 days is enough.

During the Grand Army period, a regiment could have up to four to five thousand people.

Now, the standard number of people is three thousand.

Therefore, among these 4 people, plus the peasant comrades originally planned to be called, in the end, to people volunteered to participate.

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian provided a full 3 tons of rice, which could feed twice as many people for five or six months.

Now that the canal project has started, the people of the entire township really have to thank Gong Er in their hearts.

Therefore, it became inevitable to come and see her off for the last time.

That situation made not only the side room of the Gong family very excited, but also made them feel proud.

Master, Mistress, Yixiantian, Lao Jiang and Mr. Zeng also had red eyes.

Then he thanked Chu Qianqian in his heart.

After a person dies, it is indeed the greatest honor for the deceased to be greeted by so many people.

Gong Er was also successfully buried in the Gong family's ancestral grave, and he also laid his head in the grave of Gong Baosen and his wife.

When Chu Xiangqian arrived at this moment and watched the coffin being buried, he felt sad and felt that Gong Er had really passed away.

He wasn't actually that sad before.

In his subconscious mind, he had not yet realized that Gong Er would never appear again in his life.

To put it simply, many people shed tears and feel sad at first after the death of a loved one, but this sadness is probably subconsciously telling themselves that they should cry and be sad.

Only when the funeral is over and you dream about your loved ones at midnight will you feel sad from the bottom of your heart.

Only then can we understand the heart palpitations and longing of losing a loved one.

Unknowingly, I was crying like a tearful person.

Or, when you suddenly think of your loved ones, you can't help but shed tears.

Chu Xiangqian's situation is similar to this.

Only then did he recall every detail of when he accompanied his master and mistress to Hong Kong Island and met Gong Er.

Tears flowed down uncontrollably.
