    ?

    Gong Xiaojun has become a veritable busy man in the recent period. The decoration project of the Educated Youth Restaurant is progressing smoothly.

    The industrial and commercial registration work has also come to an end, and we are waiting for the opening next month.

    This afternoon, Gong Xiaojun went to the cremation ground and saw Jing lying in the freezer for the last time.  The blood on Jing's face had been frozen into blood clots, and the fatal knife edge under her neck was faintly visible, like the muzzle of a black hole.  Jing's eyes also failed to close finally, as can be seen from the half-closed eyelids, someone once pushed her eyelids down, trying to make her close the eyes full of fear, but failed.  The reason why Jing's body has not been cremated for more than a month is because no one has come to pay her cremation fee, and the refrigeration fee is still owed, waiting for someone to pay.  The serious crematorium believes that someone will come to claim her, so all the fees will not be waived. If she is burned like this, it will be difficult to say whether someone will come to claim her and pay the fee.

    Gong Xiaojun learned from one of Li Dongfang's colleagues that Jing had never been cremated. After hearing the news, he was speechless for a while, his eyes were also astringent, as if he owed Jing something.  It should be said that Gong Xiaojun owes Jing nothing, if Gong Xiaojun insisted on finding this Jing who was called Wang Long and went to prison several times willingly, they might never know each other in this life, then nothing would happen.  up.  Gong Xiaojun knew that Jing died at the hands of Wang Long, and now Wang Long, who is squatting in the big prison, would die soon, so at whose hands did Wang Long die?  What is playing a role in the process of his step by step towards death?  It was too late for Jing's final reflection. It would not be too late if Wang Long hadn't escaped from prison. After all, she already wanted to say goodbye to that kind of life.  Moreover, Gong Xiaojun also promised to help her so definitely, this is not only a kind of repayment to her mother, Teacher Wang, but also out of sympathy for her, but the final result is that he has no such opportunity.  No one will come to see Jing off. Her mother and her father are both dead. Even if her mother, Mr. Wang, is still alive, will she see her off?

    Gong Xiaojun called two migrant workers who worked on the renovation site of the Educated Youth Restaurant to accompany him to the crematorium in the eastern suburbs, paid Jing's last "rent" in her life, and pushed her into the cremation room.  The reason why Gong Xiaojun asked two migrant workers to accompany him was that he really didn't have the courage to face Jing alone. He was afraid that his tears would fall in front of Jing, and this kind of tears seemed so unbelievable to outsiders.  .  What is your relationship with Crystal?  Who is Crystal to you?

    In the morning, before coming to the cremation site, Gong Xiaojun first went to Daqingshan Cemetery in the western suburbs, firstly to choose a grave for Jing, and secondly to take a look at the final resting place of Liu Yang.  Now, every time he thinks of his ex-wife Liu Yang, Gong Xiaojun always feels guilty.  In the past, he hated this woman named Liu Yang so much. He thought that his married life was so miserable, and it was all because of this woman named Liu Yang.  So, is Liu Yang's married life happy?  Who caused her unhappiness after marriage?  If he hadn't wanted to marry her to vent his despair in love, would Liu Yang have taken the initiative to come to Gong's house?  If Liu Yang doesn't come to Gong's house, will she be killed by Wang Long?

    Gong Xiaojun didn't know where Liu Yang was buried in the Daqingshan Cemetery, but he saw Liu Yang's tombstone as soon as he entered the cemetery. This was not only because Liu Yang's tomb was a new one, and the wreath in front of the grave was still in the cold wind  There was a rustling sound in the middle, and he wondered if he had found Liu Yang's grave so accurately, was it because Liu Yang's soul had been waiting for his arrival?  So what would Liu Yang say when he saw him?  Gong Xiaojun has always been an atheist, and death is like a lamp going out, and he had it in the ancient Chinese class in middle school.  But now, he suddenly found that he was becoming neurotic, like a fortune teller, every time he closed his eyes, he would see several pairs of eyes staring at him in the dark, which made him shudder.

    Liu Yang's tombstone is neither high-end nor low-end, it's quite ordinary.  To the south of her tomb is a tomb with a unique architectural style and pavilions. It is said that the cost of land and construction is nearly 300,000 yuan.  The deceased was a well-known self-employed person in our city, with tens of millions of assets. Last year, he drove the BMW racing car he just bought on the Outer Ring Road. When turning a corner, he accidentally rushed out of the guardrail and fell into a ravine, ending his fortune.  history.  He was only 28 years old and still unmarried. After inheriting his inheritance, his brothers and sisters built this tomb in the Daqingshan Cemetery to let the cranes stand proudly in order to thank their younger brother for leaving them such wealth.  Everyone who comes to visit the graves of relatives can feel that his brothers and sisters have not forgotten his great kindness.

    Gong Xiaojun stood in front of this eye-catching tomb for a while, looking at the date of birth and death of the deceased, suddenly felt not the true love of his brothers and sisters, but the lightness of life.  He thought, this man should not have so much wealth by fate, it was wealth that took his life.

    Gong Xiaojun bought one from the cemetery management office.There were three sticks of incense in the circle, and they were dedicated to Liu Yang's tomb.  At first, he didn't say anything, just stood aside silently watching the incense burn slowly. However, at the moment when the incense was burnt out and was about to be extinguished, he suddenly felt startled, and then fell to his knees with a dark sound before his eyes.  He was on the ground, as if an invisible hand had pulled him down suddenly.

    "Liu Yang." ú± Gong Xiaojun yelled and sat down on the ground.

    I believe that Liu Yang will not see everything in front of him, and I also believe that Liu Yang will not hear Gong Xiaojun's cry, but after Gong Xiaojun knelt down and shouted "Liu Yang", he seemed to be blocked.  Something like a ball of twine on the chest disappeared all of a sudden.  He wanted to say, Liu Yang, I'm sorry for you, I hurt you.  However, he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything, just let the tears flow like a burst bank.  At this time, Gong Xiaojun also thought of him and Liu Yang's son again. Regardless of whether Gong Liang is called Liu Liang, he has lost his mother forever. From now on, his mother's love for him will only have literal meaning.  Knowing the cause of his mother's death, will he forgive his father who told him to lose his mother's love forever?

    To the northeast of Liu Yang's tomb is the tomb of Gong Xiaojun's mother Wu Suzhen. Gong Xiaojun wanted to take a look at his mother's tomb, but he no longer had the courage to face his mother, so he bowed deeply to the northeast.

    Since the completion of the Daqingshan Cemetery, people in this city will be buried in this place by their relatives after they die, and become "residents" here.  Therefore, this place becomes another "residential area" and an extension of our city.  Before death, many old people come here to personally choose the place where they will sleep after death, and see the "neighbors" with whom they will sleep together.  Now, mother Suzhen is here, ex-wife Liu Yang is here, and Jing is coming soon, maybe that wicked Wang Long will also be buried here by his relatives.  The roads of life are very different, but the final destination is so the same.  Is this the luck or misfortune of mankind?

    Jing's cremation process went very smoothly. She was lifted out of the freezer and sent to the cremation room, where she was turned into a bag of ashes in a short while.  Gong Xiaojun also asked a make-up artist to wipe off the blood on Jing's face and put on new makeup before letting the crematorium push her away.  Holding Jing's ashes, Gong Xiaojun stood still at the entrance of the cremation ground, and looked back at the big chimney that was emitting black smoke. He knew that this was another deceased person being reduced to ashes in the hot furnace.  But what flashed in his mind was the big freezer containing Jing.  Only people who have endured the heat and cold of the world will leave this world, but when they leave, they have to endure such great heat and cold. Is this the last aftertaste of their life?

    It was nearly five o'clock when Gong Xiaojun finished burying Jing and returned to the renovation site of the Educated Youth Restaurant from Daqingshan Cemetery.  Sitting in the manager's office that has been renovated, Gong Xiaojun has a feeling of returning to the world from the underworld.  He sat in a daze for a long time, looking at the busy road outside the window, and suddenly realized that he was like a philosopher in deep thought.  The world is so colorful, and everyone is playing an important or unimportant role. As long as you are alive, you must play it well. Those who are competent will become successful, and those who are incompetent will become the supporting roles of others.  Now, Gong Xiaojun thinks, he is changing roles, and he hopes that he should play this brand new role well.

    When Mr. Zhu, the ** boss of the decoration engineering company, pushed the door and entered, Gong Xiaojun was about to stand up, opened the window and let out a long sigh, the performance officially began!

    "Mr. Gong," Mr. Zhu said, looking at Gong Xiaojun's incredulous expression, "what are you doing?"

    Gong Xiaojun's mouth was closed immediately, a smile flooded his face again, and he quickly entered the role.  He turned back and shook Mr. Zhu's hand enthusiastically, and said, "Mr. Zhu, you have worked hard."

    Now, the decoration project of the Educated Youth Restaurant has come to an end, and the workers have started to clean up before the evacuation.  Since the late stage of the project, Mr. Zhu has been watching here. His attitude of being so responsible for quality moved Gong Xiaojun very much.  At this time, Gong Xiaojun realized that Mr. Zhu should be invited to dinner tonight to celebrate the happy cooperation.  The reason why Mr. Zhu stares here every day is mainly because he is worried about the dozens of operators employed in mainland China.  When he was renovating the Grand Hotel for the Provincial Foreign Affairs Office last summer, he was sloppy and didn't supervise it personally, something went wrong, and he had to start over.

    "Mr. Gong is flattering the prize. We are in business, we can't be careless about making money." Mr. Zhu took out three or five cigarettes, handed them to Gong Xiaojun, and said.

    "Mr. Zhu, don't be too modest," Gong Xiaojun lit a cigarette and said, "I would like to treat you to a light meal tonight, and I hope you will appreciate it." (Remember the website: www.hlnovel.com
