Vol 2 Chapter 2: : Funeral
"Oh."
Tang Hongen put down the fish in his hand.
"Then go back and take a look."
What is the reaction of normal people when they hear that they are going to send their brother "the last ride"?
Anyway, it won't be as calm as Tang Hongen.
Liu Fen didn't know how to comfort him.
She doesn't care about the fish that Tang Hongen bought back. How can she be in the mood to make a meal and ask the young couple to come back to eat? She cares more about her husband-isn't Hongen's stimulation?
The winter in Beijing is very cold. Tang Hongen just volunteered to go shopping for groceries, went out and went back to the heated house. The hot and cold alternated, and there was a mist of water on the glasses.
"I will pour you hot water to wash your face!"
Tang Hongen wiped his face casually: "No, I have to go out soon anyway. A Fen, ask Xiaolan and the others to come home for dinner another day, you come with me."
You don't even need to call in the driver, you already have a Chevrolet at home.
"You can eat any day you want to eat. Of course, your hometown matters... Should I bring something? Forget it, let's hurry up!"
Liu Fen grabbed his jacket and left.
At this time, there is no courtesy. It is rude not to send the last ride.
Tang Hongen didn't say anything.
This incident was a bit sudden. He had not taken off his coat yet, and he was going out with Liu Fen again.
Liu Fen has never been to Tang Hongen's "hometown". Compared to the "sister-in-law" who suddenly called today, Liu Fen is more familiar with the Song family. The Song family was very arrogant at first. After she really married Tang Hongen, the Song family could only accept this fact.
Liu Fen didn't understand Tang Hongen's hometown at all.
Tang Hongen doesn't seem to need her to understand either.
Liu Fen was a little distracted while driving, and occasionally went to see Tang Hongen secretly.
Her wife is really incompetent, and Tang Hongen knows almost everything about her.
Caring for her, caring for her daughter, caring for her elder brother, even her business. As for Tang Hongen's work, she couldn't help, and she was only concerned about Ji Jiangyuan...Where is the spirit of this, Ji Jiangyuan's child is too sensible.
So Tang Hongen knows everything about her and cares about all the important people around her. In turn, her knowledge of her husband is really too limited!
An uncomfortable feeling filled Liu Fen's heart.
Tang Hongen seemed to feel it, and touched her shoulder:
"A Fen, don't think too much about it. I broke up with my hometown. Except occasionally sending some money back, I haven't had any contact for more than ten years, so I don't need to ask you to entertain those strange relatives."
Unexpectedly, this time the call was made to Shichahai's house.
Maybe his sister-in-law first contacted Pengcheng and asked about the contact information of Shichahai.
Secretary Peng always took care of the people and affairs in his hometown. After Secretary Peng was released, Secretary Lai was replaced, and Secretary Lai gradually gained his trust. Tang Hongen was about to let Secretary Lai take over Secretary Peng's'burden'. .
Unexpectedly, this burden jumped out instead.
Liu Fen settled his mind:
"Then what attitude should I have when I go back with you?"
There was no smile on Tang Hongen's face: "It's just a cutscene, don't deliberately please. It's basic politeness for you and me to take this trip."
Liu Fen felt more and more weird.
Is it just a basic courtesy to send a loved one off for the last time?
Dont you feel sad...
Liu Fen wanted to continue to inquire, but suddenly remembered the Xia family.
Regarding the grievances between the mother and daughter and the Xia family, she had previously encountered Xia Dajun wearing filial piety on Shangdu Street.
They are relatives, and dont have to have family affection. There are too many disharmonious relatives in this world. Like her personal experience, there are not only the Xia family, but also the sister Liu Fang who has to calculate their mother and daughter... Liu Fen thought, if Lao Tang didnt say anything. , She didn't ask, lest she poke Lao Tang's wound.
She is very confident at the moment, Tang Hongen will not deliberately hide it from her. If she didn't say it before, it would definitely be unimportant.
Why is she worrying about it, taking this matter too important?
Liu Fen wanted to open it all at once.
Tang Hongens "hometown" is not far away. It took more than two hours to drive there in the countryside on the border of Beijing and Hebei Province.
I didn't expect it to be so close.
Lao Tang didn't even call her back once.
What kind of relationship is this terrible? !
When the car drove to the countryside, the road was not very easy. Although this place has not been outside the large area of the capital, it is still a genuine rural area.
Not much better than Dahe Village and Qijing Village.
Liu Fen was really surprised.
She knew that Lao Tang was not from a prominent family. After all, in Tang Hongens and Jiyas marriage, in Tang Hongens own mouth, it was the poor boy who married the eldest lady. After marriage, the living habits were very contradictory... But Liu Fen did not expect it would be in the countryside. From head to toe, Tang Hongen looks like a rural person? This man wears glasses, is gentle and elegant, and looks like a man with good self-cultivation.
Tang Hongen turned his head and looked out the window.
He hasn't come back for many years.
In the village, sorrow and joy have sounded, and there is still the smell of firecrackers in the air.
Liu Fen's heart chuckles, hurrying slowly, or is it late to come back?
Tang Hongen comforted her, "It's none of your business. The so-called sending off for the last time should mean asking me to come back and have a look before the funeral. If someone is still alive, it is absolutely impossible to call me back."
...Who are these people!
A white cloth was hung at the door of a household, and there were confetti from the firecrackers at the door.
This is it?
Liu Fen looked at the big blue brick house covering a large area.
"Let's go, go in, Shangzhuxiang will leave."
Liu Fen followed in the door, sorrows and joys screamed inside. There was a coffin parked in the hall, and the relatives who were dressed in linen and filial piety knelt in the yard. She followed Tang Hongen into the door, many pairs of eyes glanced together.
"It's soup..."
"Back?"
"It's been more than ten years. I heard that being a national cadre is promising."
Tang Hongen ignored those whispers. He stared at the coffin for a few moments. He took the incense to light it, and was about to put the incense on. A woman wearing hemp and filial piety suddenly jumped up, reaching out and knocking out the incense in his hand, the red incense head It hit Tang Hongen and burned a hole in the knee of his pants.
Liu Fen suddenly felt distressed.
"Are you all right?"
She didn't feel sorry for Lao Tang's new pair of pants that she had just worn, but she was afraid of being burned.
"It's okay, don't worry."
Tang Hongen patted the fragrant ash, and Liu Fen turned around to look at the woman in linen and filial piety:
"Comrade, what's wrong with you?"
The woman looked fifty or sixty years old, with slightly taller cheekbones, and she was born with a mean look.
Liu Fen won't get used to it. If you want to be bitter, you will be bitter. The woman's behavior is really too disrespectful to Tang Hongen-bullying Liu Fen, Liu Fen may not care about it, bullying Lao Tang just can't do it.
The woman looked at her up and down, "Are you the one he married newly? I heard that you are a self-employed person, and he is really getting better and better. It's not as good as the first one!"
Liu Fen's brain buzzed.
She had heard this voice, it was just a phone call, the one who claimed to be Tang Hongen's sister-in-law!
