Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

A speechless night!

The next morning, Zhou Yang got up early.

It snowed all night in Beijing last night. When I got up, the yard was covered with a thick layer of snow, and several trees were covered with rime, which was particularly beautiful.

Originally, Chen Beixuan, Zhang Tong and others were ready to clean the snow in the yard after getting up, but they were stopped by Zhou Yang.

Later, he woke up all the little ones at home and took them to have a snowball fight in the yard.

When the children heard that Zhou Yang was going to take them to play in the snow, they were all very happy. Even the most squeamish Dabao suppressed his anger when he got up.

Soon, the sound of adults and children playing happily could be heard in the Zhou family's yard.

While Zhou Yang was having a snowball fight with the children, Li Youwei, Huang Rufeng and Li Haiyan were busy making breakfast in the kitchen.

Listening to the laughter and laughter coming from outside, Li Youwei couldn't help but have a smile on her face.

Although having a snowball fight so early in the morning is somewhat uncomfortable.

Firstly, it is easy to stain clothes, and secondly, it is easy to catch a cold when it is hot or cold.

If she had to put aside her usual time, Li Youwei would definitely have to take care of the children.

But today she didn't say anything. After all, her men rarely had free time to spend with their children. She also liked seeing the children playing with Zhou Yang, so she didn't stop them.

The snowball fight lasted for nearly an hour and didn't end until breakfast was ready.

When Zhou Yang and several children returned to the house, both adults and children had snow on their heads and bodies.

When Li Youwei saw this, she immediately asked them to change clothes quickly.

Otherwise, the snow on their bodies will be baked by the stove in the house and melt quickly, and their clothes will get wet. If they don't change their clothes, they will easily get sick and catch a cold.

By the time I changed my clothes and finished eating, it was already half past eight.

Then Zhou Yang took Li Youwei and the children out and drove to the cemetery to sweep Lao Zhang's grave.

The reason why I chose to visit the grave today is mainly because today is the 100th day since Lao Zhang passed away. This is called a 100-day festival in the village.

Villagers attach great importance to the Hundred Days Festival, because many people believe that the soul of the deceased has not completely left the world within the first hundred days after death, and is still in an intermediate state, requiring specific commemorative ceremonies to entrust people's feelings. Thoughts and prayers.

Because of this, after the death of an elder in the family, there will be some taboos and taboos during this period, such as avoiding activities such as getting married, having children, and moving, to prevent disturbing the soul of the deceased.

Although this statement has a bit of feudal superstition, it is part of traditional culture.

Both Zhou Yang and Li Youwei respect this tradition very much.

When Zhou Yang brought his family, Chen Beixuan, Zhang Tong, Huang Rufeng, Li Haiyan and others to Lao Zhang's cemetery with incense, candles, paper money and other offerings, he saw Mr. Yan taking Yan Gengbei and two twelve or thirteen-year-olds. The little girl has arrived and is cleaning the snow around Lao Zhang's cemetery.

When Zhou Yang saw this, he immediately came up to greet him!

"Mr. Yan, Fifth Brother, when did you come?"

Mr. Yan smiled and said, "Shortly after arriving, I saw that the cemetery was covered with snow, so I simply cleaned it up."

Afterwards, Mr. Yan looked at Wen Hui next to Zhou Yang and said, "My dear, go and wipe the tombstone for your Grandpa Zhang. Old Zhang loved you the most when he was alive!"

"Okay grandpa!"

After saying that, Wen Hui took the rag he had prepared in advance and strode towards the tombstone.

When Baoer saw this, he immediately said: "Brother Wenhui, wait for me, I'll go too!"

After the two children walked away, Mr. Yan said again: "I have scheduled the marriage of Lao Wu and Rufeng on the ninth day of February next year. I want you to be their witness at that time, okay?"

"No problem, I'll try my best to arrange my work in advance and try to get back a few days early!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"Hahaha, when the time comes, I will ask Lao Wu to call you in advance to remind you, don't forget it!"

"OK..."

Just as he was talking, he heard Bao'er's voice coming over: "Dad, Grandpa Yan, we have wiped the monument clean!"

At the same time, Yan Gengbei and the two little girls also cleared the snow around the cemetery.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang immediately said: "Old man, let's go visit the grave first, and we'll talk after we're done!"

"it is good..."

Afterwards, several people came to Lao Zhang's grave together, placed the sacrifices, and then toasted, burned incense and paper...

While burning paper and offering incense, Zhou Yang also told what happened after Lao Zhang's death in front of the tomb.

As for whether Lao Zhang can hear it, it actually doesn't matter...

After sweeping the tomb, at the invitation of Mr. Yan, Zhou Yang and his family came to Yan's house as guests.

After entering, Mr. Yan asked his wife and Yan Gengbei to entertain Li Youwei and the children, while he invited Zhou Yang to his study.

After the two of them sat down across a small round table, Mr. Yan first poured a cup of tea for Zhou Yang, and then said with a smile: "I invite you here today. In addition to wanting to chat with you for a few words, I actually have something to say. I need your help with a few things!”

"You're so polite, just tell me if you have anything to do!" Zhou Yang said.

"I want Wen Jing and Wen Qing to study at your place, see if that works!" Mr. Yan said.

The Wen Jing and Wen Qing that Mr. Yan was talking about were the two little girls who followed him when he was sweeping the grave. On the way back to the city, Zhou Yang found out that these two little girls were the children of Yan Gengdong's third brother.

As for the situation of Yan Gengdong's two brothers, Zhou Yang knew before that one was gone and the other was missing, and the father of the two little girls, Yan Gengnan, was the missing one.

The Yan family suffered a disaster before. Mr. Yan himself was a mud Buddha crossing the river. He was unable to protect himself and was powerless to protect his children.

A few months ago, the Yan family was in trouble. Mr. Yan also thought of his two daughters-in-law and several grandchildren who were suffering in the Gobi Desert in the northwest, so he brought several children from the northwest to the capital.

But Zhou Yang didn't expect that the old man would send the two little girls to the countryside as soon as he brought them back.

"It's definitely okay, but why do you always think of sending two children to the village?" Zhou Yang asked in confusion.

"This is what the boss (Ye Zhenshan) meant. Originally, I wanted to let Wen Jing and Wen Qing go to school in the capital so that we can have a photo together, but the boss said that the education level in the capital is not as good as yours."

Then Mr. Yan said again: "Furthermore, Wenjing and Wenqing had a hard life before. The education there was very backward, the children's foundation was relatively poor, and they were not very talkative. If they went to the school here in the capital, it would be difficult to integrate into it, so I want them to go to your village school.”

"Okay, then I'll say hello to the school and let the two children be transfer students!" Zhou Yang said.

"Well, then I'll trouble you about this!"

"You're so polite, it's not a big deal!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"I won't say thank you. I know you don't care about it either."

Then Mr. Yan said again: "By the way, can you contact the second child (Yan Gengdong) now?"

"Yes, what's wrong, you always have trouble with him?" Zhou Yang said.

Although Mr. Yan is now a consultant to the Beijing Military Region, at the level of deputy military region, the tasks Yan Gengdong performs are top secret, and he cannot contact his son at all.

"It's not something important. I think my second daughter-in-law is about to give birth. I don't know how she is doing now!" Mr. Yan said.

Hearing this, Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, it was true.

When Yan Gengdong and Xu Jingrong came back in July last year, the woman was almost three months pregnant. Now, nearly half a year has passed, and the due date is indeed approaching.

"If you don't tell me, I really forgot about this. I'll ask him later and I'll tell you as soon as I have any news!" Zhou Yang said.

"Row!"

Then Mr. Yan said again: "As for Rufeng's job, Lao Wu also told me that day. You are right. Enterprises are indeed not as suitable as government units, so I plan to let Rufeng transfer to the district public security bureau. ,how do you feel?"

"It's pretty good. It matches Rufeng's major!" Zhou Yang said.

"Okay, then I will ask Rufeng to submit the report as soon as possible, and while I haven't completely retired from this old bone, I can help her complete the work!" Mr. Yan said with a smile.

"it is good..."

Just as he was talking, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the study.

Immediately afterwards, Yan Gengbei opened the door and walked in, and then said: "Dad, two comrades from the military came outside, saying they were looking for Zhou Yang!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yang and Mr. Yan were both stunned, and then they immediately stood up and walked outside...

PS: Today I went back to my hometown to celebrate the Chinese New Year, despite the wind and snow, I couldn’t stop my desire to go home!

I wish all ordinary people working hard outside can go home smoothly!
