That year the flowers bloomed 1981

Chapter 1063: Your family is not related, right?
In his previous life, Li Ye once wondered why Qingming Festival was one of the 24 solar terms in flower growing countries, but was always calculated using the Gregorian calendar and always fell in early April of the Gregorian calendar every year.

Later I learned that the lunar calendar is a combination of the solar calendar and the lunar calendar. The Qingming Festival is different from other traditional Chinese festivals which use the lunar calendar. It is based on the solar calendar, which is the date when the sun reaches a specific position, and is fixed between April 4 and April 4 in the Gregorian calendar.

The Qingming Festival in 89 was on April 4th.

When the sky just got light in the morning, it was very gloomy. At half past eight, sparse rain began to fall.

Li Ye stood in the cemetery, looking up and feeling the cold water drops hitting his face. His mood was as gloomy as the sky at the moment.

It rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, which sounds very poetic and meaningful. However, at this moment, Li Ye would rather endure the strong ultraviolet rays than accept this "rain that suits the situation".

Because standing with him were more than two hundred elderly people over the age of sixty.

It was a chilly spring season, and on the plateau where a cold could kill people, so getting caught in the rain, which seemed like a trivial thing on ordinary days, was not an easy thing for them.
Even if Li Ye was well prepared and provided everyone with convenient raincoats, there was no guarantee that everything would be foolproof. The two patients who left by plane were a clear example.

However, today's worship plan cannot be changed because the standard is too high and there are too many people attending, so Li Ye only hopes that the rain will not be too heavy and that all parties attending can be on time as much as possible.

At 8:50, the worship started ahead of schedule, and the few people who spoke to the camera were very fluent and tried not to take up too much time, which surprised and relieved Li Ye.

The boss has a lofty vision, unlike some people who put on airs just because they have a tiny status. He can't show his authority unless he makes a group of people wait for him for half an hour.

In addition, Li Ye also saw Fang Min, Jiao Yongsheng and Xiao Mu.

After Lao Fang finished repairing the collapsed section of the road, he only sent Jiao Yongsheng and Xiao Mu, who had normal transportation tasks, to accompany them. He himself had to stay at his post. Unexpectedly, he also rushed here today.

Because today's occasion was very serious and there were big guys in military uniforms present, the few people did not exchange pleasantries but just nodded to each other.

Today's tomb-sweeping process was very quiet. Even the relatives whose loved ones were buried in Shannan just shed tears silently and cried softly, but the grief they felt was even greater than those who were paying homage in Shannan.

There are only 102 tombstones in Shannan Cemetery, but there are hundreds of people on site, so the process of wiping the tombstones was very quick today.

After the tombstone was cleaned, the cultural department personnel who followed along began to gild the words on the tombstone.

This segment was proposed by Li Ye based on the deeds of a young lady in later generations, and was also approved and praised by the publicity department.

Li Ye had practiced calligraphy for a few days before, although he gave up because he had no talent, no perseverance, and no persistence, but he still had no problem tracing gold with a brush.

So he took a pen and started to paint gold on a row of tombstones. This job was not small, and with one more person to do it, it could be completed earlier.

However, just when Li Ye was tracing the fourth tombstone, he heard a lot of people coming over and standing behind him.

Li Ye looked back and quickly stood up.

All the big guys at the scene came over. Lao Fang, who was at the end of the line, kept blinking at Li Ye, and no one knew what message he wanted to convey to Li Ye.

"This is Li Ye from Light Automobile Company. He is one of the initiators of this event and has provided great support to our work."

A big shot looked at Li Yemiao's tombstone and said approvingly: "The young man has good handwriting and is a good person."

The big man in military uniform shook hands with Li Ye directly, nodded and asked: "I heard that two generations of your family are soldiers. You grew up listening to the battle stories of your predecessors, right?"

Li Ye hurriedly shook hands with the other party, and then told the truth: "My grandfather didn't tell me many battle stories. He only said that only a few people from their company survived, and he didn't know where the rest were buried."

"."Everyone around was stunned, with strange looks in their eyes.

The big man in military uniform glanced at Li Ye, patted his shoulder with his palm, and nodded vigorously.

Then everyone left, as quickly as they came.

A relative of a martyr wearing a Zhongshan suit came up to Li Ye and whispered to him, "Little comrade, you are blessed."

Li Ye stopped writing with the brush in his hand and said, "I think I said something wrong just now!"

The other person shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter what you said just now. What matters is who you said it to. Others can't get close to you even if they want to say it.

You are lucky, he came to talk to you, and didn't you see someone taking pictures next to you? This is a rare luck.
But then again, if you had been smarter just now, I'm not saying your attitude just now was wrong, it's just that you didn't take it seriously enough."

The man in Zhongshan suit was obviously a very enthusiastic person. He talked to Li Ye for a long time and imparted a lot of "valuable experience".

But Li Ye couldn't figure out whether what happened to him just now was luck or not. Anyway, when he saw many people trying to get over there, he was willing to hide here to paint with gold lacquer.

It’s not that Li Ye doesn’t take the big guys seriously. He also knows the helplessness of “people strive for higher positions”, but he is afraid that if he rushes to get ahead of them and ends up being disliked by others, how embarrassing would that be?

"Oh, that's right."

The relative of the martyr wearing a Zhongshan suit suddenly thought of something and asked Li Ye with a puzzled look: "Does your family have any connections?"

"."

Li Ye was confused.

Does my family have connections? Of course there is a little bit, but does what happened today have anything to do with connections?

My wife didn’t say that when I talked to her on the phone last night!

"Oh, that's right, I thought."

When the man in the Zhongshan suit saw Li Ye's expression, he immediately realized what was going on and was convinced that he had guessed the truth.

"Little brother, what is your family relationship like? Don't be embarrassed to tell me, I won't tell anyone."

Li Ye smiled lightly and stopped arguing with the other party, just concentrating on painting with gold paint.

Having connections can indeed help a person achieve twice the result with half the effort and rise to the top quickly, but if this person only knows how to build relationships all day long and does nothing practical, then no matter how great the connections are, the achievements will be limited.

When Lao Fang met Li Ye, he did not rush to send them to Riguang City, but stayed at his post. Didn't he get through this?
On the other hand, Niu Hongzhang is also a person with connections and a certain rank. If Niu Hongzhang were present today, when introduced to the Light Automobile Company, he would be the first choice to shake hands with the big boss.

But now!
Niu Hongzhang messed up the matter, so no connections are of any use.

So, having background but no strength may allow you to kill people in low-end games, but you will not be able to participate in high-end games.
