It's past 11 o'clock in the evening.

"Uncle Zhong's grandson, he hasn't eaten since he came back." Shen Man reminded Lin Jun.

“…… I didn't feel hungry, could he feel it? Lin Jun sighed, and then said, "You can get some food, I'll eat with him, and by the way, let the drum band rest." ”

"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen." Shen Man nodded obediently.

"Squeak." Lin Jun had clothes draped over his shoulders, and then pushed the door and walked out.

Coffin front.

"It's been a day of kneeling, and it's almost over." Lin Jun held his knees and sat cross-legged next to Zhong Zhenbei.

“……！” Zhong Zhenbei's eyebrows were twisted, and his thick glasses were full of stolen goods and gas, and it was estimated that he couldn't see anyone.

"Let's have a bite to eat and rest for a while!" Lin Jun patted Zhong Zhenbei on the shoulder.

"I'm sorry for the funeral, thank you." Zhong Zhenbei's lips were chapped, his voice was very small, and his body seemed to have run out of strength.

"What's the trouble, I hired your grandfather." Lin Jun regretted it a little, frowned and filled the brazier with paper.

"You settle the account, and I will pay you back." Zhong Zhenbei looked down at the brazier and said.

"I paid it, and I didn't think about letting you pay it back." Lin Jun was stunned.

"One yard to one yard, my grandfather has never owed anything to others in his life, and I can't let him carry the account on his back." Zhong Zhenbei replied a little stubbornly, he always has a bit of rigidity and excessive rules in life.

"Whatever you want." Lin Jun was silent for a moment, not Zhong Zhenbei arguing.

……

Uncle Zhong's death was an unprecedented blow to Zhong Zhenbei. His life experience doesn't have so many mysterious stories, it's just quite bitter. His father was a second-rate son. Say it's a bastard, he's not qualified, it's not a bastard, and he's idle all day long, rambling around and spending some money, Yanji was much more chaotic than now, and then the whole country cracked down, and this side also responded to the central government's intention to rectify social security, and Zhong Zhenbei's father was rectified at this time. He was sentenced to fifteen years in the first instance for stealing some public steel, but because his family conditions were not good, and no one saved money for him, and the demons and monsters in the society at that time were in prison, he stayed in it very hard, and killed himself in it within a year.

And Zhong Zhenbei's mother was purely dragged to death by Zhong Zhenbei's father, because for so many years, the task of raising a son basically depends on Zhong Zhenbei's mother, she is a woman, following the lumberjack to work, basically going out before dawn, and not going home at night until the moon rises. Therefore, in Zhong Zhenbei's impression, his mother's impression is also relatively vague, he only clearly remembers that there was a quartz clock on the wall of the house, and when the big needle went to 10, that was when his mother was going back.

Less than two years after the death of Zhong's father, Zhong's mother died of cancer in the county hospital, and from then on, Uncle Zhong took Zhong Zhenbei to his home to support him until he grew up.

After Zhong Zhenbei became sensible, he basically never talked about his family in front of anyone, and when the neighbors saw him, they always jokingly said: "Oh, isn't this a little Zhong Leper?" ”

Why is it called Little Bell Leprosy? Because his father's nickname is "Zhong Lezi"! This is an extremely disrespectful title, and it is even more inappropriate to put it on a child, but the villagers may have no ill intentions, only ridicule of Zhong Lezi, who is despised by everyone.

Born in this kind of family and growing up in this kind of environment, Zhong Zhenbei has developed a very good and strong personality since he was a child, and he is very serious in what he does, and he is very rigid and hardworking! Maybe if his family conditions were a little better, he wouldn't be a temporary worker outside the system.

Grandpa is Zhong Zhenbei's spiritual mentor, they have relied on each other for so many years, and now that this old man has fallen, Zhong Zhenbei seems to have been hollowed out in an instant, this is not sadness, let alone uncomfortable, but countless kinds of emotional squeezing, but I don't know how to release the pain.

……

In the evening, Lin Jun persuaded Zhong Zhenbei to eat, and the two sat on top of the coffin, eating and talking.

"Xiaobei, it is very difficult for temporary workers to become regular, it is not only about qualifications, but also about a certain relationship. If you don't have any access there, you can go back to the forest farm, your education, plus you have also worked in the forestry system, so I can't let you be a lumberjack, account manager, or anything, I can arrange it for you! Lin Jun said this completely out of his feelings for Uncle Zhong, and he had nothing to do with Zhong Zhenbei's education or professional knowledge, he simply wanted to help the deceased old man.

"It depends on ability to turn positive, why does it have to be related?! I do my own thing, and the leaders will see it! Thanks, Jun. Zhong Zhenbei shook his head and replied, until now Zhong Zhenbei still feels that he can afford to eat, and there will be a time to welcome spring sooner or later.

“……！” Lin Jun turned his head to look at Zhong Zhenbei and said nothing.

"My father is qualified to receive the subsistence allowance, I have persuaded him to do it for so many years, but he didn't do it, it is estimated that he will give some money at a time, and when the money is in hand, I will pay you back!" Zhong Zhenbei paused when he said this, then bit his lip and added: "But before that, you help me choose a good piece of land and bury him!" ”

"Okay." When Lin Jun heard this, he nodded with no expression on his face, but he still had the same idea in his heart, and he never thought that Zhong Zhenbei would be able to pay back the money.

Talking about this, neither of them was silent.

……

Three days later, Uncle Zhong went out to the funeral and was buried, and the burial place was the land that Lin Jun bought with his head bowed in a farmer's house, and the price was not expensive, and it cost more than 10,000 yuan in total.

The mourning music rang out, the firecrackers rattled, Zhong Zhenbei tied a filial piety cloth on his head, and knocked his head on the ground three times, at this moment countless emotions converged, Zhong Zhenbei looked at the grave and the tear ducts collapsed, his head fell on the ground and said: "I haven't let you enjoy it yet...... You're gone...... You know, how much I want to take care of you for a few years......! ”

All those present were moved.

"With a bow, the eldest grandson fills the soil!" Mr. Yin and Yang shouted.

The black soil lifted in the air, then fell, slowly burying the coffin......

……

Two days later.

Zhong Zhenbei went to the Shangshu County Neighborhood Committee, ready to ask for Uncle Zhong's monthly subsistence allowance that has not been completed for so many years.

After waiting in line for an hour, the staff received Zhong Zhenbei.

"Zhong Fuhai's subsistence allowance, I don't have a record here?!" The staff frowned and looked at Zhong Zhenbei and asked.

“…… How could it not be, I already declared it? ”

"Then you have to get a certificate from the police station, have you found the police station?" The staff asked again.

“…… The certificate from the police station has already come out, but my father just passed away, and I didn't find the certificate, but there should be a bottom at the police station, you can communicate, okay? Zhong Zhenbei asked again.

"Big brother, are you kidding, now the living can't be raised, so what do you have to do to manage the dead? He's gone, what kind of subsistence allowance do you have? The staff replied impatiently, and then shouted: "Come on!" ”

PS: I have to go home for dinner during the Lantern Festival, so I will cancel it today and make it up tomorrow.

In addition, during today's holiday, I got some red envelopes on Alipay, and everyone was happy.

The red envelope password is: Shangyuan is happy one more point
