Chapter 48 [Man doesn’t cry easily]

Zhang Yang drove his jeep to Shangqinghe Village. An Zhiyuan specially asked Zhang Yang to park at the archway at the entrance of the village. After getting off the car, he picked up his camera and took a few photos at the archway.

Zhang Yang told An Zhiyuan the allusion he heard from the old branch secretary Liu Chuankui. An Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing. He shook his head and said, "This arch was only established during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. In order to commemorate an old widow in Shangqinghe Village, the widow gave birth to three sons. When her son was very young, her husband passed away. The widow gave birth to extraordinary beauty. Many people advised her to remarry while she was young, but they were rejected by her. Later, the widow raised her three sons with great difficulty. All three sons passed the Jinshi and became a high-ranking official. Emperor Qianlong was moved by the widow's chastity, so he gave this arch."

An Yuchen said: "Grandpa, I heard you tell this story when I was a child. It turns out that the archway is here!"

An Zhiyuan took pictures of the pillars of the archway and said, "I remember when I was a child, I could still see some of the handwriting on it clearly. Now I have been eroded by the wind and rain. I can't see anything clearly. Time flies like an arrow!"

An Yuchen was very interested in this ancient archway and stood in front of the archway and took a few photos. However, this girl was very strange. She also had sunglasses and masks when taking the photos. Zhang Yang was puzzled.

The guy smiled and said, "You like archways so much, why not advise your grandfather to invest in his hometown, and I will also set up one for you!"

An Yuchen glared at him and ignored him at all.

An Zhiyuan smiled and said, "How can this archway be set up casually? In ancient times, only chaste women were qualified to set up archways!"

An Yuchen was dissatisfied when he heard this: "Grandpa, how are you talking? Am I not a chaste and vicious woman?"

An Zhiyuan and Zhang Yang laughed at the same time. An Yuchen said to Zhang Yang with a cold face: "Why are you laughing at?"

Zhang Yang looked helpless, and I was numb and I was offended to you even if I smiled? Isn’t it just a little bourgeois daughter from a colony? I annoyed me, I’ll find an opportunity to rule you! Of course, Zhang Daguanren just thought about it in his heart.

At this time, Liu Xin'e, the women's director of Shangqinghe Village, rode his bicycle by the archway. When he saw Zhang Yang, he hurriedly got out of the car and said with a smile on his face: "Director Zhang, why are you here and don't inform me in advance?" Liu Xin'e recently reported several cases of extra-birth and received a bonus from the family planning office. She is also an advanced worker who Zhang Yang focused on praising. Zhang Yang is her direct leader. He naturally showed great enthusiasm when he saw Zhang Yang coming.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's not for business. Now, my uncle is here, I will take him around and take a look!"

An Zhiyuan secretly laughed at the boy who was really nonsense and turned himself into his uncle.

Liu Xin'e looked at An Zhiyuan and then at An Yuchen who was covered tightly: "This one is..."

"My niece!" Zhang Yang said shamelessly.

An Yuchen was almost so angry that he was so angry that he was so angry that he shamelessly took advantage of him, but it was hard to say this in front of Liu Xin'e, so he could only glar at Zhang Yang through his sunglasses. If her eyes were a knife, Zhang Yang would have been poked into a hornet's nest by her at this time.

An Zhiyuan was indeed an old fox and said in Zhang Yang's words: "Hello, I'm from the Jiangcheng Federation of Literary and Art Circles. I came here to collect some materials and write a novel."

When Liu Xin'e heard that An Lao was a writer, her eyes immediately shone. After all, in the eyes of these simple villagers, the cultural people were covered with a sacred halo. Liu Xin'e was a little excited and said, "The old man has come here to the right place. Our Shangqinghe Village is a place with a long cultural history. Let's not talk about anything else. Just talking about this archway has a history of thousands of years..." As a result, he naturally told the allusion that Zhang Yang said again.

An Zhiyuan finished listening patiently, but the old man's cultivation was still admirable. After listening to Liu Xin'e's nonsense for a long time, he did not show any impatient expression. An Yuchen always covered her face, so she couldn't see her expression clearly. Zhang Yang was so angry that he finally couldn't help interrupting Liu Xin'e and said, "Are the old branch secretary here?"

"I'm not here, I've gone to the county!"

An Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I heard that there was an anti-Japanese hero named Sun Erniang here in the past. I wonder if she is from Shangqinghe Village?"

Liu Xin'e couldn't help but look at An Zhiyuan, and she whispered: "It's true that there is, but she died with the Japanese as early as the Anti-Japanese War."

An Zhiyuan whispered: "Is her grave here?"

Liu Xin'e shook her head and said, "It's gone long ago. The woman Sun Erniang heard that she was the woman of An Dahun, the leader of the bandit, back then. After An Dahun died, she lived in Shangqinghe Village in anonymously. She was not Japanese, but a few traitors who were thinking about her. When they saw Sun Erniang being an orphan and widowed mother, they had evil thoughts about Sun Erniang. You think Sun Erniang used to be the wife of An Dahun's village. Her temperament was extraordinary. She grabbed a grenade and pulled it out. Several traitors who wanted to bully her were bombed into the sky."

An Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Does Sun Erniang have no relatives?"

Liu Xin'e sighed and said, "I heard that there is a son, but her son disappeared after the explosion. Some people said they were dead, and some people said they ran away. However, I haven't heard any news for so many years. It seems that they are dead."

Liu Xin'e suddenly remembered that the pigs at home had not been fed yet, so she hurriedly went there after saying goodbye to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang heard some tricks on the side. Could it be that An Zhiyuan was the one born to An Dahuzi and Sun Erniang? This matter involves other people's privacy, so it is hard to ask.

An Zhiyuan said to An Yuchen: "Do you know why she is called Sun Erniang?"

An Yuchen shook his head in confusion: "Why?" In fact, Zhang Yang was also full of doubts, but this was someone else's family matter, and he was not easy to ask, and he was not qualified to ask.

An Zhiyuan said: "She is my stepmother. When my father married her, I was already ten years old. She was very nice to me. I always called her Erniang. After a long time, everyone followed me to call her Erniang, and even forgot her original name. When the Heifeng Village was wiped out, most of my father and brothers died in battle. I thought that only I could escape. When I came back in 1988, I heard the story of Sun Erniang. It turned out that Erniang also escaped, and she also brought my younger brother with me."

An Zhiyuan couldn't help feeling sad when he said this. He breathed a deep breath and said, "My second mother is dead. It seems that I have no relatives in Heishanzi."

Zhang Yang originally wanted to say something like the people in our hometown are all relatives of An Lao, but then he thought that if people hear such high-sounding words, they will feel hypocritical and suspected of deliberately getting close to each other, so he simply stayed silent.

An Yuchen was quite moved after hearing Sun Erniang's deeds. She burst out with Cantonese language as she was excited. Zhang Yang, who was gurgling, didn't hear what she said clearly, staring at her with big eyes.

Old An smiled, he nodded and said, "Yes, he should have a archway for Er Niang!"

Zhang Yang then realized that after a long time, this girl was going to set up a archway for her second grandmother. It was a good thing to think about it, so what... This archway is considered an investment, but it was also considered a good start for the investment promotion office.

Zhang Yang accompanied Mr. An to the address of Sun Erniang's old house back then. Now with the change of the village pattern, it has become a wasteland. An Zhiyuan stood on that wasteland for a long time and came to Zhang Yang to make a request: "Director Zhang, I have a wish!"

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Please say Mr. An!"

An Zhiyuan said: "For many years, I have had a wish. I want to find my father's body and bury him and Erniang together. Now I finally found his body."

Zhang Yang understood An Zhiyuan's meaning. After Sun Erniang pulled the grenade, the person turned into ashes. It is estimated that her ashes were in this part. Moving An Dahusband's tomb here would be equivalent to burying them together.

An Zhiyuan seemed to have had this idea long ago. Now that his father's grave has been found, the conditions for joint burial have been ripe, so An Zhiyuan proposed to buy this piece of land to build a cemetery, and also prepare to build a archway at the entrance of the village.

Zhang Yang agreed without thinking. As long as he could make Mr. An happy and let him invest in Chunyang, this condition was nothing. By the way, Chunyang went from the county party secretary Li Changyu to the old branch secretary Liu Chuankui of Shangqinghe Village. He had a good relationship with him. He wanted a cemetery, but it was not a matter of minutes to get it done.

An Zhiyuan is not in a hurry to leave. Recently, he will investigate within Jiangcheng. His words reveal that he already has the intention of investing in the mainland. What Zhang Yang really cares about is to let him put his investment in Chunyang. If this money is invested elsewhere, it will definitely not be considered his political achievements.

Before leaving Heishanzi Township, An Zhiyuan left the contact information to Zhang Yang. From this, it can be seen that he still admired and trusted Director Xiao Zhang very much. However, An Zhiyuan also had a requirement that Zhang Yang should not expose his whereabouts before he officially appeared in Chunyang. He wanted to spend a week in Jiangcheng urban area and six counties to objectively evaluate the economic development status of various places without being disturbed by the outside world.

After seeing off his grandfather and grandson of An Zhiyuan, Zhang Yang returned to the township government and saw that the whole country was still busy cleaning and making active preparations for the arrival of Old An. He couldn't help but laugh secretly. Thinking about An Zhiyuan, he did have a certain personality. The government departments were always looking for truth, but they did some superficial things. Mr. An's behavior was called pragmatic.

Yu Qiuling appeared on the balcony on the third floor, and waved to Zhang Yang with a smile: "Xiao Zhang, come on!"

I trust the summons of the village head, how dare Zhang Yang refuse to obey? At least he has to look respectful on the surface, and come to the village head's office in the envious eyes of many people.

Yu Qiuling took out a dozen cheer tickets from the drawer and gave them to him. Zhang Yang was somewhat flattered. You said that he would not receive any rewards without merit. Village Chief Yu would definitely not give him so many cheer tickets for no reason. Zhang Yang said carefully: "What are the instructions of Village Chief Yu?"

Yu Qiuling smiled: "If you give me something, you must let you do things. Xiao Zhang, Xiao Zhang, are you too realistic? "When she said this, Zhang Yang felt a little embarrassed and laughed: "I am moved. A scholar died for his confidant. I would like to go up to the mountain of swords and fire for the village chief Yu. The grandson who frowned was the grandson." But he thought to himself, the village chief Yu must not be attracted to his own beauty and let him sacrifice himself bravely. He has the courage to give Deputy County Magistrate Xu, but the village chief Yu is too cruel and we can't follow anything.

Yu Qiuling had long experienced Zhang Yang's eloquence and smiled and said, "You and I will go back to the county town later!"

Zhang Yang nodded happily. He gave him so many oil tickets, so it was also worthy of being the driver for her. He was secretly grateful that he didn't like his appearance.

Yu Qiuling whispered: "Secretary Wang is leaving these days. Tonight, your brother Xu has booked a seat in Jin Kaiyue to see him off. Don't let others know about this."

Zhang Yang felt so comfortable. It seems that Yu Xiuling was not an accidental way to become the village head. Not only were there people behind her, but she also spoke like a spring breeze. Just say that Brother Xu instantly narrowed the distance between you and Zhang Yang, and he didn't use a ready-made driver, but used Zhang Yang's jeep, which means that she treated Zhang Yang as her own person. It can also be said that the entire township government only regarded Zhang Yang as her own person, which was even more significant to Zhang Yang, proving that after Wang Boxiong left, Zhang Yang still had an absolute backer in Heishanzi Township.

However, Master Zhang did not feel grateful. For Yu Qiuling to go up and down the sea of ​​fire, just like that, a fool would do that. Although he is just a deputy director of the investment office, once Mr. An is done with the investment, it will definitely be 100% necessary to go out of Heishanzi Township. Besides, he is supported by Secretary Li of the County Party Committee, so there is no need to curry favor with a newly appointed female township chief.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yang drove Yu Qiuling back to Chunyang. Yu Qiuling asked Zhang Yang to park the car at the county industrial and commercial bureau to meet with her husband Xu Zhaobin.

There was still some time before dinner, and Zhang Yang drove to the county center. Last time, Chen Chongshan asked him to bring him to Chen Xue, he had never had time to deliver the things he asked to be loyal to. Zhang Yang still respected Chen Chongshan's character and manners very much, so he naturally cared about what he told him.

Zhang Yang parked the jeep at the gate of the county lieutenant college. Thinking about the past few months, he had changed drastically. He has gone from being an unspoken poor boy, now he is the director of the township family planning office and the deputy director of the county investment promotion office with a small status. Even the car has been made. Although it is a scrap jeep, it is not a four-wheel drive. When Zhang Yang realized that he was a little complacent, he immediately reminded himself to be cautious and humble, and be modest and cautious. Only in this way can he make greater progress in politics.

After school, Chen Xue and Zhao Jing walked out of the campus together. Since the last incident of the Karaoke of Love, their relationship has become much closer.

Zhao Jing was the first to discover Zhang Yang standing in front of the jeep, waved excitedly, and ran towards him quickly.

Chen Xue stopped and stood far away under the tree waiting for Zhao Jing, and had no intention of walking over.

Zhang Yang pinched Zhao Jing's white and tender face, and then habitually rubbed her hair.

"Brother! I hate it, I messed up my hair!" Zhao Jing handed her schoolbag to Zhang Yang, tidied up her hair in the reflector of the jeep, and then looked at the jeep happily: "I heard from my mother that you have a car, this one?"

Zhang Yang nodded and smiled, "How is your study recently? Are you nervous?"

Zhao Jing sighed and said, "I'm doing the papers all day long. Fortunately, Chen Xue helped me. I feel that I've made some progress recently."

"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to get into college!" Zhang Yang was quite sure of getting the recommended place, but he still couldn't tell Zhao Jing about this before it was confirmed.

"I hope I can pass the exam!" Zhao Jing herself seemed to have little confidence, and she whispered: "I plan to apply for Jiangcheng Normal University, a second-class undergraduate."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "You make your own decision on applying for the application. By the way, which university Chen Xue is going to take?"

Zhao Jing's eyes turned on Zhang Yang's body, but there was a thoughtful smile on her face: "Brother, why don't you ask yourself!" She turned around and waved to Chen Xue and said, "Chen Xue, come here, my brother has something to ask you!"

Chen Xue then walked over slowly. She was wearing a gray sweater and gray pants, simple and simple. However, no matter how ordinary the clothes were worn on her, they could not hide her beautiful temperament. She still had that cold and deserted expression on her face. There was no slight wave in her clear and pure eyes, as if no one's appearance could cause any emotional fluctuations.

Zhang Yang had experienced her cold temperament many times, but he didn't care. He took out the things Chen Chongshan asked him to bring from the jeep: "What your grandfather asked me to bring to you, and he asked me to tell you, don't study too hard, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest."

Chen Xue finally showed a faint smile on the corner of her lips: "Thank you!" After that, she became silent again.

When he was facing Chen Xue, Zhang Daren couldn't help feeling a little frustrated. If he didn't take the initiative to speak, the scene would have been so cold. He whispered: "Thank you for helping Zhao Jing review!"

Chen Xue nodded and turned to Zhao Jing and said, "I'll go back to the dormitory first!"

Zhang Yang smiled helplessly. He said that he had helped her many times, but every time he saw her, this girl always looked like she was keeping others away. Did she have a grudge against her in her previous life?

Zhao Jing looked at Chen Xueyuan's back and smiled and said, "Brother, don't be angry, she has this temper." She suddenly remembered something and lay down in Zhang Yang's ear and whispered: "Sister Hailan came to our school for an interview two days ago. When I saw me, I asked about my study situation. Brother, she is so beautiful. Is it your girlfriend?"

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer her question. After thinking about it, he smiled bitterly: "What nonsense? He is a big star and a popular female anchor. I am a small town cadre. Even if I want to develop with him, he doesn't like me!"

Zhao Jing said, "I think she is very nice to you, and Chen Xue also thinks that's the case. We all think you are quite compatible!"

Zhang Yang felt inexplicably excited, but his face deliberately became stern: "I said, girl, no wonder you can't get better at your grades. It turns out that you have been thinking about these things all day long!"

"Don't I care about you?"

"Stop it, I tell you, now is the key sprint stage of the college entrance examination. Don't think about it all day long." The paging suddenly rang, saying that Cao Cao was here and Hailan called him.

Zhang Yang twisted Zhao Jing's nose and then went to the public telephone booth to call Hailan.

"Director Xiao Zhang, why don't you tell me if Chunyang comes back!" Hailan's tone was full of the smell of provoking a riot.

Zhang Yang laughed, but he didn't expect that Hailan's news was very well-informed. How could she know that she and Yu Qiuling had just returned? Zhang Yang looked around through the glass of the Gongdian Pavilion, thinking that Hailan was nearby, but after looking around, he couldn't find her beautiful figure. He whispered: "Just arrived, I've just given someone something to me, and I'm at the gate of the county center."

Hailan said: "What have you been doing these days? I haven't come here on Saturday?"

Only then did Zhang Yang remember that he and Chu Yanran went to Beiyuan and did not tell Hailan in advance, but he couldn't blame him for this matter. Hailan never let him contact her on his own initiative. When Zhang Yang thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Although he had that relationship with Hailan, he couldn't stand it. Thinking about the fact that the two of them had no other communication except that.

Hailan did not continue to ask questions, and changed the topic and said, "Will you go back tonight?"
To be continued...
