Listening to Jin Baoguo's plain words, Xu Li didn't know what to say for a moment. When his son died, how could Jin Baoguo not grieve as a father? But in order not to give everyone any trouble, they even refused to come. They just asked to take their son's ashes back to their hometown for funeral!

"Come on, let's talk about it when we get to Jin's house!" Xu Li felt that he was really small compared with the Jin family. He really didn't know what kind of landscape it was that brought up such people as the Jin family's father and son.

Zhao Guoqing knew that Jin Baoguo was still a little stiff in front of Xu Li, so he took Jin Baoguo to his car. There was a police car in front of him, followed by Zhao Guoqing, Xu Li and Zhao Peng. The motorcade went straight to Tian'an County, Wanbao City, Shanxi Province, Jinxin's hometown. However, the motorcade took off the police siren after leaving the territory of Helian to avoid disturbing passers-by.

Tian'an county is located in the south of the western city of Sanjin Province, covering an area of more than 2600 square kilometers, but its population is only about 160000. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the central and western parts are loess hilly areas. At that time, it was an old revolutionary base area. During the Anti Japanese War, there were only less than 100000 people in the county, but nearly 20000 people took part in the revolution. After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, only more than 100 people remained. Especially in the later period of the liberation war, the whole county continuously supplied the party and the army with military supplies, such as grain, fodder, meat, vegetables, military shoes and so on. At that time, it was famous in Tian'an that a grain of grain should be used as military grain, a piece of cloth should be used as military uniform, and the last son should be sent to the battlefield! After the founding of the people's Republic of China, the central leadership once said: without these old people, there would be no birth of new China!

However, it is such an old revolutionary base area. It has been nearly 50 years since the founding of the people's Republic of China, but it has become a poverty-stricken county in China. The per capita income of farmers in the county is less than 1500 yuan.

When Xu Li and others drove into Tian'an County, they couldn't help feeling that it was a county, even worse than an ordinary town in Helian. Special vehicles get off the main road of Tian'an county and drive into Zhaocun Township, Jinxin's hometown. On the road, trucks full of sand and stones pass by Xu Li and others, which makes the originally neat road full of bumps. Xu Li and others smell the dust, endure the bumps and suffer a lot along the way.

After all, this is not the area under his jurisdiction. Xu Li can only shake his head and sigh at these overloaded cars. The motorcade quickly got off the road and drove into a loess road. After more than two hours of driving along the dirt road, it entered a small gully. Here is Quyu village, the destination of the trip.

The motorcade stopped in the open space at the entrance of the village, but Xu Li saw that most of the people here actually lived in the Tuyao cave built by the mountain, and from time to time some people were driving donkeys with two big buckets on them.

At this time, Jin Baoguo got out of the car holding Jin Xin's ashes and said, "my house is in front of me, but the car can't drive through."

"Come on, let's go and have a look!" Seeing the surrounding scenes, Xu Li was able to guess the living conditions of Jin Baoguo's family. But when we came to the Jin family with Jin Baoguo, we were still worried about the living conditions of the Jin family!

The Jin family also lives in a cave built close to the mountain, but the cave may have a history of more than ten years, and it seems to be crumbling. Compared with here, I'm afraid even the most difficult people are rich!

"Son of a bitch, I'm back!" As soon as Jin Baoguo came to the gate of the hospital, he cried out.

After hearing the cry, a woman came out of the cave, followed by two 20-year-old girls and a 16-year-old boy. We all know that this must be Jinxin's mother and his younger brother and sister. But the gray hair of Jinxin's mother seems to be in her sixties. It doesn't look like a middle-aged man in his forties at all!

As soon as the woman came out of the cave and saw Jin Baoguo holding the urn in her hand, she couldn't help crying: "my poor son!" All the way to Jin Baoguo, two little girls supporting Jin Xin's mother. Jin Xin's mother rushed to Jin Baoguo, reached for the urn carefully, held it tightly in her arms, but her legs softened, and sat down on the ground with tears streaming down her face! The two little girls and the young man sobbed when they looked at the picture of the elder brother on the urn.

At this time, Jin Xin's grandfather also stood in front of Jin Baoguo with his crutch step by step and said in a loud voice: "don't cry, there are still guests! Our children have not humiliated Lao Jin's family! "

The old man has absolute authority in the Jin family. Jin Xin's mother even dare not cry loudly after listening to the old man's words, but this kind of silent choking is more sad.

Jin Baoguo gently picked up his wife and advised her, "son, he's gone, but we still have to live, don't we? Stop crying

The arrival of Xu Li and others has already alarmed the villagers. After all, in this small mountain village, an outsider would make everyone curious for a few days. Today, four high-end off-road vehicles came. The old and small people in the village had already come to the Jin family with Xu Li and others. At this time, they all gathered outside the Jin family courtyard to watch the excitement.

Jin Baoguo didn't tell the villagers about Jin Xin's sacrifice. He wanted to go and connect his son's ashes this time and bury them in his own grave. But Xu Li and others didn't expect to follow him. The news of his son's sacrifice soon spread all over the village.

Village head Zhao Baotian pushed away the crowd and came in. Seeing that the Jin family was crying, he came forward and advised: "brother Baoguo, sister-in-law, I heard that your big boy is gone. Don't be too sad. You still have two girls and a son. Your old Jin family is not broken yet!"

Having said that, is the child not the flesh of the parents? Especially in the Jin family, if Jin Xin hadn't worked hard outside these years and sent his salary home every year, I'm afraid that he would not have been able to make a living just relying on his family's several small fields. But now Jin Xin has gone. Jin Baoguo and his wife know that they are sorry for their son. If the family conditions are not good, how can they become soldiers or sacrifice because of their son's excellent achievements? Thinking of this, the old couple and their three children are even more sad to see Jin Xin's portrait. Even Mr. Jin was quietly wiping away his tears.

"Comrade Baoguo, sister-in-law and Comrade Jinxin died on duty. It's a good example. We didn't protect him well. As his leader, I'm sorry for you two!" Zhao Guoqing stepped forward.

"I don't blame you! It's all children's life Jin Baoguo once saw Jin Xin's funeral in Helian. He was very nice to his son! Although he didn't see much of the world, thousands of people came to see him off at his son's funeral. It's not a waste of his son's experience in the world“ Well, don't cry, son. There are still leaders. Let's bury the child first! "
