Episode 125 The Pioneers of the Times (13) are unfamiliar with people
The 'Huilonggang cemetery' on the outskirts of City A is a public cemetery at the beginning of this century, Guo Xiaosong thought that Wang Jinhe would pay his own division and find a 'good place', but he could look for it, and finally found it in a very ordinary territory, according to the small plate on the tombstone, the cemetery plus the management fee, and it was 3,500 yuan in 20 years.
"Hello old man, my name is Guo Xiaosong, I was sent by Wang Jin and the old man, I don't know what you liked to eat when you were alive, I asked you for a few dishes in a famous restaurant in the city, and this bottle of wine was brought to you by the old man Wang!" Guo Xiaosong carefully cleaned up the vicinity of the tombstone, and then put on the wine and food, and lit the three pillars of high incense.
It's still so cheap, it's only more than 3,000, this is the first batch to be built! A group of grave sweepers came and pointed out the cemetery.
"That is, I heard people say that this boundary was originally a mud pit, and then the cemetery was built to let people fill it, can it be cheap, and our parents can't compare with that of our parents at all, otherwise why is there 8,000 over there, and only 3,000 here!" β
'Yes, you see, you see, the quality of this monument is not good! β
Listening to everyone's discussions, Guo Xiaosong was furious in his chest, is it so important to have money or not, no money is already very pitiful, and after death, people still point fingers, it seems that people are really unpredictable, and there are not many well-wishers.
Lit a cigarette, and looked at these people from afar and walked towards the heights, the cemetery above was very good, all of them were marble and stone tablets, it turned out that these people were all family, and after a while, I heard the voice of a woman in pain.
Remembering that his parents have not been buried, Guo Xiaosong has been worried about whether his parents are buried together for many years, in the eyes of outsiders, as a son, it is a matter of course for his parents to be buried together, but his mother is 'the person who walks through the family again', if they are buried together. There will be gossip, and just then, a man who looks like an administrator walks up.
'Comrade, please don't burn paper in front of the tombstone, we have a special incinerator not far away!' β
'Oh, where is it?' Guo Xiaosong came with a lot of burning paper.
'Over there!' β
As soon as the administrator's words fell, I saw the sound of an explosion in the clear sky, and then there was thick smoke in the high places not far away, and then the cries of women and children came, and the high places were chaotic.
'Not good. It's on fire! The caretaker yelled and ran to the fire prevention tool room, intending to get a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire.
Out of righteousness and courage, Guo Xiaosong also ran over and grabbed a bottle of dry powder fire extinguisher and ran up with the administrator.
The fire was caused by the grave sweeper's 'incense', and the spark accidentally hit a large number of firecrackers brought, and then the firecrackers exploded, igniting the burning paper brought, and that's it. Bundles of burnt paper were burned and blown by the wind to nearby trees, many of which had frozen to death the previous year. It was not cleaned up in time, it was really a fire of dry firewood, and a large number of it was ignited, after Guo Xiaosong sprayed a bottle of dry powder. The fire was controlled, but the fire was still burning, and the flames were burning high. Suddenly it is a state of view.
A few minutes ago, a middle-aged woman who had to laugh at others for having no money, suffered severe burns on her face and was carried away by an ambulance, but fortunately, there were not many injured people, most of them were just skin injuries.
After Guo Xiaosong returned to the tombstone, he found that the wine and food that had been laid out at the beginning had already disappeared without a trace.
'Old man, it's up to me for this today, another day, another day I have time, I will definitely come to see you again and bring you something better!' Saying that, Guo Xiaosong carried the burning paper and went to the incinerator not far away to burn the paper.
Fortunately, the fire was rescued in time and did not cause serious consequences, and the firefighting administrator had been looking for Guo Xiaosong, and when he saw him coming from the incinerator, he stepped forward and shook hands with Guo Xiaosong tightly.
"Little brother, thank you so much, it seems that you have practiced, and ordinary people really don't know how to use fire extinguishers!" Beside the administrator, there were several older middle-aged men, looking at their clothes, as if they were his leaders.
"I studied firefighting in the military academy, and it just so happens that you have a fire extinguisher here, but fortunately, there are many people, and the fire can be controlled. Guo Xiaosong, who came back from the incinerator, was covered in dust, and his hands were even dirtier.
"It turns out that you are a soldier, that's better, come, let me introduce you, this is our cemetery director, this is the secretary!" 'Soldiers are always the best, especially those who rescue in the midst of fires.
Guo Xiaosong knew what they wanted to do, and after greeting for a while, he cleaned up the garbage in front of the tombstone and strode away.
It's really funny that people are not as good as people, on the way back to the city by car, the more Guo Xiaosong thinks about it, the more interesting it becomes, it seems that it is really providential, if those people who are burned, without so many firecrackers, it is impossible to have an accident in this fire, and in general, money is still in trouble.
An ordinary 'family member of the army', if it is judged according to reason, she is not even mixed with the 'family of the army', her husband is just a 'company level', and she can only follow the army when she reaches the "deputy battalion level", and before a month, the instructor's sister-in-law is like a different person, not to mention the trendy dress, and she is called a brother and sister in the university, it turns out that now her identity has changed, with the help of 'Xiaofeng', she contracted a 'student canteen' of a certain department, and became the 'boss lady' who manages more than a dozen subordinates.
At the same time, the 'Ichilian' instructor also earned his life's The first pot of gold', according to Guo Xiaosong's guidance, his more than 40,000 yuan, it only took a month, it became more than 60,000, plus the previous investment, the total amount has been less than 100,000 yuan, the two of them are really different from the past, naturally they are very clear, what they get now, but also rely on one person, that is Guo Xiaosong, since they have been with him, they have good luck, in order to repay Guo Xiaosong, the two of them asked Guo Xiaosong to go to a big restaurant in city A to have a meal, as a 'repayment'.
'Godfather! You're coming, I'm hungry! Guo Shuyao is studying in the city, and of course this hotel is very close to her and her mother.
Guo Xiaosong was still dressed in casual clothes, walked a few steps, and picked up his goddaughter, "Yes, I came quite early, but I took the bus for two hours!" β
The seafood restaurant, known as 'Gaode', was built at the beginning of this century. Another large hotel chain enterprise that has risen in City A, it is not better than the traditional dishes of "Jihong Hotel", focusing on seafood cooking, behind it, there is a strong group to support, that is, "Household Appliance King" Mr. Huang, now his hand has reached out to the food industry in City A, this idea is still taught to him when Liu Sheng was alive, only the best restaurant can attract the biggest high-ranking officials. Once you get in touch with them, it's much easier to do anything.
For this restaurant, Guo Xiaosong came back for the first time, and when he picked up the recipe, he frowned.
'Order, order a few more, the seafood here is the best, I and your sister-in-law came to eat it last week! The instructor of the first company was still dressed in military uniform. The 'captain' epaulette is very conspicuous in the hotel lobby.
According to the algorithm of a fish weighing three catties, this catty of fish is seventy or eighty yuan, and the price of a fish alone is more than two hundred yuan. This is still a dish, so Guo Xiaosong really asked him to order it, Guo Xiaosong really didn't dare to order it, and finally had to point to the 'Jiwei shrimp' in the recipe. "That's it, a pound."
Forty yuan a catty, Guo Xiaosong only ordered one catty. The instructor seemed to see Guo Xiaosong's thoughts, so he said to the waiter, "Two catties are good, we have a lot of people, we are cooked better, we have children!" β
took over the recipe, the instructor's sister-in-law is boasting of the 'point', and ordered seven or eight dishes, all of which are quite good, Guo Xiaosong's mental arithmetic is very smart, plus the wine, this meal will cost more than 2,000 yuan, which is equivalent to more than his two months' salary, he is the salary of the 'regular camp level', but the 'post allowance' is a rank, in general, he is not less than the instructor.
Last month, she was still a virtuous and virtuous housewife, and this month she became a courtesan on the wine table, and the instructor's sister-in-law changed so quickly that Guo Xiaosong was very unfamiliar, and after barely drinking two glasses with her, Guo Xiaosong got rid of himself with some motion sickness and didn't want to drink anymore.
'Guo Shuyao! The instructor's sister-in-law shouted.
The little girl was still eating the prawns that her father had grilled, and she didn't feel any sense of whether someone called her 'Guo Shuyao' or not.
'I called you, but you didn't listen!' The instructor's sister-in-law pulled the little girl's hair very hard, and this time it was so fierce that even Guo Xiaosong, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help grinning.
'Mom, what are you telling me to do!' Only then did the little girl remember that she had another name, that is, 'Guo Shuyao.' β
'Your godfather has dinner with our family, and you don't respect your godfather with a glass of wine, you don't see that your godfather is not happy, go quickly, toast a glass, and you will eat after the toast! This is the first time Guo Xiaosong has seen a mother who treats her daughter so harshly, and her kind face earlier is long gone, this woman is really unusual.
Holding the wine glass that his mother had poured into his hand, 'Guo Shuyao' walked to his godfather's side with great difficulty, raised the wine glass high and said, 'Godfather, my mother asked me to toast you with a glass of wine, can you drink it?' β
From the eyes of his goddaughter, Guo Xiaosong saw a begging gaze, and he took over the wine glass, 'Okay, I'll drink, I'll drink!' After that, he drank it all.
That's right, I don't have face, my daughter has more face than me, what's the matter, my daughter has the ability! The instructor's sister-in-law slapped her husband and gave him a look.
This may be a kind of code, and the instructor randomly filled Guo Xiaosong's wine glass, "I said brother, let me thank you for your goodness, I just learned, why don't you have a big organ, you have to come to the grassroots level to exercise, Commander Guo of the R Army is your third uncle, Deputy Commander Liu of the Beijing Military Region, or your future father-in-law, it's really my brother, you are the real god, without you, there would be no today for our family of three, come, brother, I salute you!" β
Guo Xiaosong secretly knocked himself out, he was unfamiliar with people, so he said, "Commander Guo is my third uncle, but Deputy Commander Liu of the Beijing Military Region is not my father-in-law, and I don't know who you heard this news from, didn't I tell you, my fiancΓ©e's surname is Ai, her name is Ai Xiaomeng, not the daughter of Deputy Commander Liu!" β
'Oh, that's my mistake, it's what your sister-in-law heard about, but it's good that I didn't spread it!' The instructor glanced at his wife. (To be continued......) R1292
