~Date: ~November 12th~

Wu Sanhe and the others entered the hall ♀, and so many people rushed in at once, filling the hall to the brim.

Li Yi originally wanted to invite Wu Sanhe and others to sit upstairs and discuss the handling of this matter, but after Wu Sanhe entered the house, he took the lead and went straight to the front of the mourning hall, walked to the front of the futon, turned over, bowed his head, and kowtowed.

Under normal circumstances, people who come to mourn only need to symbolically bow three times, and only the younger generations who are close to the deceased will kneel and worship, and kowtow like this, and even more relatives will do it.

Wu Sanhe had no relatives with the Fang family for no reason, and just now he was still clamoring outside the door to pull Fang Youde to be cremated, and suddenly exercising such a big courtesy, the Fang family was a little confused.

Fang Hongjun had been beside the coffin, and when he saw this, he knelt down to return the salute to the visitor. Fang Zhen also walked over and returned the gift with his son.

Li Yi glanced at his uncle Fang Zhen, only to see that his face was relaxed, thinking that when he came down with his uncle just now, he was busy announcing Li Yi's position and administrative level, and his intention was this, right?

Wu Sanhe knelt down, took out three sticks of incense from the desk, and lit the incense.

Wu Sanhe took the lead, and the other officials of the county civil affairs bureau and the people from the police station also followed suit, concocted the same method, and kowtowed to the old man Fang Youde.

After nearly half an hour of chaos, everyone came upstairs and sat down.

The ladies made tea and brought it over.

The woman who brought the tea to Li Yi whispered, "Brother Li, hello." ”

Li Yi looked up and felt a little familiar, and he was stunned, and he couldn't remember who she was.

The woman was good-looking, young, slender and delicate, her face flashed with disappointment, obviously lonely because Li Yi had never recognized herself, she said softly: "Brother Li, I'm Fang Qian!" ”

Li Yi suddenly smiled. said: "Fang Qian! It's grown so big, oops, it's really a female college eighteen changes, I can't even recognize it. ”

Fang Qian knew that Li Yi and they had something to talk about, so she smiled slightly, and went down with the tea tray.

Li Yi said to Wu Sanhe after plastic surgery: "Wu Bureau, about my grandfather's cremation, I want to invite everyone to sit down. Let's talk about it. ”

Wu Sanhe said: "Director Li, blame me for this matter!" I'm good at everything, but sometimes my brain is very strong, a tendon. The principle is too strong! Today is our law enforcement attitude is not good, here I want to make a review to Director Li. ”

Li Yi was stunned, he didn't expect Wu Sanhe to change so quickly, and he even apologized in a blink of an eye!

"No, Wu Bureau, comrades have not done anything wrong, you are enforcing the law, you are right, but our family. For some reason, we clashed with your law enforcement team, and it's our fault. But this matter is also out of love for the elderly, and we also ask Wu Bureau and other comrades to be considerate. Li Yi said slowly.

Wu Sanhe shook his hand again and again and said, "Director Li, what you said. It makes me ashamed of myself. Today is the day when Mrs. Fang drives the crane, we are reckless and abrupt Mrs. Fang's spirit, it is our fault! ”

The three Fang Zhen brothers were all sitting in a row, and Fang Xing said: "Director Wu, let's not say who is right and who is wrong, I don't care what you say, if you want to pull my father to cremation ♀ things, our Fang family will never agree!" ”

Li Yi glanced at Fang Zhen and motioned for him to persuade the two Fang Zhen and Fang Xing.

When he was below just now, Li Yi was thinking about how to deal with this matter, and after thinking about it, he still felt that the premise was to agree to the people of the county civil affairs bureau. Pulling people to be cremated is a matter of principle and policy, and it is not negotiable.

Under this premise, discuss with Wu Sanhe and others to come up with a reasonable plan that is as beneficial to the other party as possible, so that the Fang family can accept it more easily.

Fang Zhen coughed lightly and said: "This matter, from my own subjective will, I absolutely cannot agree to it, but I am a party member and cadre, and I support and support the party's policies." ”

Fang Xing and Fang Hua shouted at the same time: "Big brother, what are you talking about?" Do you agree to pull our dad out and let the fire burn? ”

Fang Zhen slapped his thigh heavily and said, "The eldest brother is the eldest, and this family is in charge of me!" I said cremation and cremation! ”

Fang Xing hurriedly said: "Big brother, I don't agree!" ”

Fang Zhen said: "It's useless if you don't agree!" This is the policy of the party, do you dare to disobey it? ”

Fang Xing said stubbornly: "Anyway, I don't agree, if you want to burn my father, pull me to burn first!" ”

Li Yi said: "Second uncle, third uncle, I think the eldest uncle's idea is correct, in fact, cremation is not disrespectful to the deceased, it is just a way to dispose of the body, and this way is more scientific." If a person dies like a lamp goes out, what remains in the body? That's a **! Even if there is a soul, it is ascended to heaven! The flesh is in the earth, is it not to rot? Cremation is a form of burial that the state strongly advocates, and we should support it. ”

Fang Zhen pointed at Li Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, is this what you should say?" You are also the nephew of my family, how can you say such a thing? ”

"Second uncle." Li Yi said: "My love for my grandfather is no less than yours, but this burial method has nothing to do with the memory of my ancestors." The nostalgia and longing for our ancestors should remain in our hearts, as long as we have a grandfather in our hearts, it is enough to think of him and miss him. ”

Wu Sanhe hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Don't argue, listen to me." Today's thing is that I, Wu Sanhe, have not done it right, Mrs. Fang is a well-known old man in Fangjiaao, I think, this law is nothing more than human affection! Mrs. Fang's cremation, I think forget it! We're not going to talk about it again! ”

Li Yi was stunned, but he didn't expect Wu Sanhe to retreat first and change his position.

If it can really be so simple, then for the other party's family, it is naturally extremely haode. However, Li Yi thought about it seriously and felt that this problem could not be opened so casually ♀, and the funeral reform work of Fangjiaao and even Fenglin Town would not be implemented.

The three brothers Fang Zhen were all happy, and said that Wu Sanhe was really a good official, a good official who forgave others.

Li Yi thought to himself, this matter has to be discussed with the eldest uncle, the second uncle and the third uncle are not from the official family, and they don't know the difficulties in the implementation of the policy. He said in a deep voice: "Uncle, I think we can't accept Wu Ju's kindness." ”

As soon as these words came out, the Fang family's faces were full of anger, the green tendons on Fang Xing's face were exposed, and he was so anxious that his face was red, if Li Yi was an ordinary nephew, he would have already swung his old fist over, but Li Yi was not only a high-ranking official, but also a great benefactor of their Fang family's fortune! He just wants to fight, and he has to weigh Li Yi's status.

The relationship between people is so strange, but when you think about it, it's not strange.

In ancient times, when her daughter entered the palace as a concubine, her parents and even grandparents had to kneel when they saw her!

It can be seen that a person's status in society has nothing to do with family affection.

"Xiao Yi, what do you want to do?" Fang Xing shouted in a deep voice.

Li Yi said: "I don't want the Fang family to be scolded!" ”

Fang Xing said: "How can you be scolded?" ”

Li Yi said: "Let's think about it, Wu Bureau weishenme will open the net and not let my grandfather go to cremation?" ”

Fang Xing said: "Naturally, it's because the Fang family has face!" ”

Li Yi said: "Where did the Fang family's face come from? ”

Fang Xing twisted his body, thinking to himself that this face didn't come from you Li Yi? But he couldn't explain it, so he had to pout.

Li Yi said: "I know, Wu Ju is opening my face and uncle's face!" Because we are all officials! However, precisely because we are a family of officials, we should set an example and be the first to support and approve of the implementation of policies! Instead of playing privileges! We did this today, and in the future, after the death of people in Fangjiaao or even Fenglin Town, who will go to cremation? They will point to our Fang family and say, their family does not need to be cremated when they die, but we ordinary people have to be cremated when they die? At that time, how could my uncle still be this official? What other prestige does the Fang family have in Fenglin Town? ”

Fang Zhen said: "Xiao Yi's words are very reasonable! Director Wu, I agree to cremation. ”

Fang Xing's eyes overflowed with tears, he grabbed Fang Zhen's hand and shouted, "Big brother! ”

Fang Zhen stiffened his neck and said, "Cremation is okay, but after cremation, you still have to be buried!" Even if it's a city person, there is still a tombstone, right? The land in our countryside is not as tense as in the city, the Fang family's grave is used to bury people, and there is also a piece of land where my father sleeps! ”

Li Yi knew that this was already the biggest concession the Fang family could make. said to Wu Sanhe: "Wu Bureau, what do you see? ”

Wu Sanhe said: "This is how it should be!" You can't all learn from great men and scatter ashes as fertilizer, right? Oh, Director Li, the consciousness of your Fang family is really high, I will report this matter to the county after I go back, and I must award the Fang family an activist award! ”

Li Yi thought to himself, what about the activist award for this cremation? Even if this is sent, who dares to hang it? Isn't this a chilling man?

The overall situation has been decided, although Fang Xing and Fang Hua are not happy in their hearts, they have nothing to say.

After the matter was discussed, he immediately took action and carried the body of the old man Fang Youde out, and when he got into the car, the Fang family fell into crying and sadness again.

In the evening, when Li Yi was worried about arranging Hua Xiaorui to sleep, Fang Qian came over and said, "Brother Li, Aunt Fang told me, ask your cousin to come to my house and sleep with me!" ”

Li Yi said: "That dare is good." Fang Qian, then I'll trouble you. ”

Fang Qian smiled shyly, turned her head and left.

This little girl has grown up sensible, and she is no longer as clingy to Li Yi as before.

After the ashes of the old man Fang Youde were transported back, they were placed in the coffin, and all other rituals remained unchanged.

Although Li Yi didn't want his grandfather's death to be too public, there was no impermeable wall in the world, and the next day, the news spread all over the Xizhou officialdom.
