My 1979

Li Zhaokun is gone.

The walk is quiet and smooth, without torture or pain.

As for whether he had any regrets in his heart, Li He didn't know.

The cries of several women in the room made Li He feel very uncomfortable. He took out a pack of cigarettes from Li Long's pocket and hid in the darkness and smoked expressionlessly.

Half of the people in Li Village were here, and many people were standing in the small house of the Li family. The cries were gathered together and could be heard clearly from a mile away.

Pan Guangcai said to Li Mei, "You and your aunt give him a bath. I'll call them now and ask them to deliver the shroud. I'll drive to buy the rest later."

Li Zhaokun left so suddenly. It was expected that the Li family had not prepared these things. He had to get dressed quickly while he was still a little warm.

Li He came over and said, "Please help me worry more."

He couldn't muster any strength now.

I originally wanted Wang Ziwen and others to come over, but when I thought about it, outsiders may not be able to understand the family funeral. There are still many local funeral rules, so it would be better to let Pan Guangcai handle it.

Pan Guangcai said, "Get more rest. I just called Da Zhuang and Sang Yongbo. They can get home at night. There are so many people here. Don't be too sad. To put it bluntly, my uncle has lived like this." I don’t suffer from my age, which is a good thing.”

Li Long discussed with his brother, "When will the banquet be held at home?"

Li He shook his head and said, "The hotels in your county are not open to the public for the time being. Use them to entertain relatives and friends. There is no need to hold a banquet at home, just prepare the fireworks."

Li Long wiped his tears and said, "Then I'll call the fourth and fifth children, and the children will ask them to come back."

Li He thought for a while and said, "Li Ke, Yang Ge, Li Yi, Yang Huai, Li Pei, and Li Lan can just come back. As for Wu Bojun, I just got pregnant. Tell Yang Huai not to let her suffer, and you can rest assured." There’s not much use in raising a fetus when you come back.”

As for Li Kuo and Li Yan, it's up to them. He doesn't need to report such big news.

Li Mei said, "How can that be done? Everyone who should come back will come back. If you don't come back, it will be nothing."

This was the first time in so many years that she openly opposed her brother's opinions.

Li He nodded, unwilling to waste more time on such meaningless things.

The owner of a shroud shop in the town braved the rain and brought a shroud, shoes and other items.

Wang Yulan and Li Mei closed the door of the room and helped Li Zhaokun get dressed while crying.

Li He lit the firecrackers himself.

Firecrackers are not afraid of rain and bounce loudly under the heavy rain.

More and more cars and people gathered at the door. Pan Guangcai came out to take charge of the overall situation and said loudly, "All cars should be parked in the village. Don't park here. The road will be blocked later, so don't stop at the intersection."

Li He returned to his room, took out a bag, handed it to Pan Guangcai and said, "Look at the arrangements."

Pan Guangcai opened the zipper and saw that it was all neatly packed cash. He said without hesitation, "Don't worry, I can still handle this matter."

Li He had prepared all this money at home in advance, and he originally thought he would not use it.

The phone rang. It was Wang Ziwen. After hanging up the phone, he sighed and said, "With such great skills, the news spreads so quickly. When Guo Dongyun comes, you two can help me entertain."

Pan Guangcai nodded and said, "Okay."

He began to arrange for people to make beds and light braziers in the main room.

Li He hugged Li Zhaokun's limp body, but he could no longer feel any weight. His nose felt sore and he went to the main room.

Li Long was holding an umbrella to cover Li Zhaokun's body.

After the brothers settled Li Zhaokun on the bed in the main room, they put on white mourning clothes, knelt down on the ground covered with hay, and kept adding paper money to the brazier.

The front room was noisy, and Wang Yulan fainted from crying.

Li He sighed and said to Li Long, "Carry it on your back and send it to your side with the eldest sister to lie down. There are many people here, so don't make trouble with her."

Li Long ran to the front room, and everyone hurriedly put Wang Yulan on his back, leaving Duan Mei and Li Mei to hold an umbrella on one side, and gradually disappeared in the pouring rain.

The tractor that went to the town came back, and everyone started to unload things from the vehicle. Those who set up tents set up tents, and those who pulled wires pulled wires.

Very lively.

Li He leaned against the wall, smoking one cigarette after another, occasionally raising his head to glance at Li Zhaokun who was lying dry on the bed.

quietly.

Tears fell unsatisfactoryly again, and I wiped my face with my hand. It was full of snot. It rubbed on the straw, didn't wipe it clean, and then smeared it on my clothes.

Pan Ying had always been under the orders of his father to help the Li family. Now seeing Li He like this, he felt a little unbearable. He wanted to say some comforting words, but he didn't know what to say.

Li He said to her, "Don't listen to your boss. It's already one o'clock in the morning. It's time to go back to bed."

Pan responded, "It's okay, I'm not sleepy."

Quietly helping Li He burn paper money.

The rain gradually subsided, and there were only thin layers of drizzle in the sky, with rumbling sounds heard from time to time.

Pan Ying originally thought it was thunder, but it was raining so much, where did the thunder come from?

People from the Li family came in from time to time and went straight to Li He's side of the main room. No one she knew.

Out of curiosity, she stuck her head out and looked into the air, but she couldn't see clearly. She ran outside and saw it clearly under the street light. It turned out to be a helicopter.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, he was patted by his father from behind. Pan Guangcai said, "Hurry up and go back to bed. Get up earlier tomorrow morning. Be more restrained these days and don't be lazy. Otherwise, I will deal with you later."

Pan Ying stuck out her tongue. Her father had never said such serious words to her.

The way home was full of cars, and many even parked in the wheat fields. There were also many cars coming in from the distance on the small road at the entrance of the village.

There are helicopters constantly hovering over the village, and there are one or two in the cement-paved wheat field in front of every house.

There were also about ten cars parked in front of her house, and the door was blocked tightly.

He turned sideways and slowly squeezed into the door and opened it.

There is no one in the family, and her parents are helping out at the Li family. As for her brother, who is not living up to expectations, he is still wandering around the provincial capital. I don't know if he has received any news at this moment.

After a simple shower and bed, she could hear helicopters flying over the roof of her house from time to time.

I vaguely feel that there are some parked in front of my house.

Just as I fell asleep, I was woken up by the sound outside. I simply got up and closed the doors and windows, and put earplugs in my ears.

When I woke up, I looked at the time and saw that it was already eight o'clock. I was afraid of being scolded, so I got up quickly, stirred my toothbrush randomly in my mouth twice, wet my face with some water, and hurried out.

She was startled as soon as she went out. There were cars and people everywhere, and no one she recognized. If the houses, roads, trees, and fields on the left and right were not familiar to her, she almost thought she had traveled through time.
