Li Yuanlang, who was already a father, quickly guessed that Qiao Xiaoli might be pregnant.

He couldn't ask directly. After Qiao Xiaoli came out, he said: "Fang Yan was fighting against the evil forces. Unfortunately, he died in the line of duty. The city applied to the Provincial Civil Affairs Department to approve him as a martyr. Everything will be treated as a martyr."

"Tomorrow, at Fang Yan's memorial service, I will announce this decision."

"Reporter Qiao, he has passed away. Please express your condolences and accept my wishes. Your good health can ensure the health of you and Fang Yan's children."

When the child was mentioned, Qiao Xiaoli's eyes dimmed, "Secretary Li, I haven't decided whether to give birth to this child yet..."

Li Yuanlang frowned and asked in confusion: "Why?"

"I'm not married and my life is unstable. Instead of giving my children an uncertain future, why not..."

"No!" Li Yuanlang categorically said these powerful words: "A hero must have descendants. Fang Yan is a man of integrity, and his descendants must inherit his legacy and complete his unfinished business for the sake of the country's stability and prosperity, and for the people to live and work in peace and contentment."

At this time, Qiao Xiaoli suddenly raised her voice and asked: "Career? To put it lightly, are you going to throw away your life like his father?"

"You touched your upper and lower lips and drew a big pie for me. You are also a person with children. You should know the hardships of raising children."

"I am an unmarried mother with a bleak future. Once this child is born, he will definitely lack father's love and be different from normal children."

"No matter your physical or mental temperament, you have to bear the many inconveniences caused by a single-parent family. Secretary Li, I'm sorry, this is my business. No matter what I do in the future, it is my right. Please don't interfere."

this……

Li Yuanlang was rendered speechless by Qiao Xiaoli's retort.

He understood Qiao Xiaoli's mood swings.

But Li Yuanlang felt very regretful if he really wanted to abort this child.

"Okay." After a long time, Li Yuanlang said helplessly: "I hope you will think carefully and don't make a decision in a hurry."

As he was leaving, he suddenly remembered something, turned back, and handed Qiao Xiaoli a bank card.

"This is some money that I have accumulated over the years. It is not much. Please accept it on behalf of Fang Yan's parents to show my appreciation."

"Secretary Li, you..."

Li Yuanlang raised his hand to interrupt, "Don't worry, every penny spent here is legitimate and clean." After that, he opened the door and left.

Qiao Xiaoli held the bank card in her hand, feeling heavy.

There was a password on the back of the bank card. Qiao Xiaoli checked it on her mobile phone. She thought it was only tens of thousands of yuan, but when she saw a string of zeros after the "5", she thought, "Oh dear, it's half a million!"

She was stunned for a moment.

Five hundred thousand is not much in the eyes of rich people, but for ordinary people like Qiao Xiaoli, it is a lot.

Li Yuanlang was affectionate and righteous. Thinking back on every word he said, especially the sentence "Heroes must have descendants", she struggled for a long time...

The next day, Fang Yan's memorial service was held as scheduled at the Farewell Hall No. 1 of Lanqiao City Funeral Home.

Municipal Party Committee Secretary Fang Yan, Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary Gao Minghua, Executive Vice Mayor Wang Guanxiong, Organization Minister Hong Guangju, Propaganda Minister Tang Xia, and heads of municipal agencies, a total of more than 300 people attended.

The memorial service was hosted by Deputy Secretary-General Qin of the Municipal Party Committee Office, and Li Yuanlang delivered a eulogy.

His expression was solemn and his voice was low.

Dear guests, relatives, friends and comrades:

The mountains stand tall and the rivers shed tears. Today, with extremely heavy heart, we hold a ceremony here to deeply mourn Comrade Fang Yan.

Comrade Fang Yan unfortunately died in the fight against criminals at the age of 26.

After the Lanqiao Municipal Government reported to the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs for review, Comrade Fang Yan was specifically approved as a martyr.

Comrade Fang Yan has loved learning since he was a child. He is extremely intelligent and has excellent grades. He is a model for learning.

In several years of working life, I have worked diligently and worked hard without complaint. Whether in Deping City or Lanqiao City, I have devoted myself to my work, doing a job, loving a job, understanding a job, being good at a job, being dedicated to my job, and making selfless contributions.

Comrade Fang Yan is diligent and open-minded; he is modest, prudent and approachable; he lives a frugal and simple life.

In the face of major issues of right and wrong, we always adhere to the bottom line of being a party member who is loyal, clean and responsible, and have the courage and perseverance to fight against evil and criminal forces.

At this point, Li Yuanlang's voice was slightly choked. He paused for a moment, quickly adjusted his mood, and continued to read, "Comrade Fang Yan passed away at an early age, causing us to lose a good party member and comrade."

"Although he has left us, his dedication to hard work and selfless work; his fine style of hard work, simplicity, frugality; his noble character of being decent and generous to others are still models for us to learn from.

and role model.”

"Comrade Fang Yan's life was short, but the spirit he left us will last forever."

"Comrade Fang Yan bid farewell to us, leaving behind his deep attachment to life and work, his deep care for his relatives and friends, and his good style and good traditions."

"Comrade Fang Yan will always live in our hearts, rest in peace!"

As Li Yuanlang finished his eulogy, amid the low sounds of mourning music, everyone present bowed three times to Fang Yan's portrait and urn.

Afterwards, Qiao Xiaoli held Fang Yan's urn in her hand and, accompanied by two staff members arranged by the Lanqiao Municipal Party Committee Office, drove to Keqi City, the provincial capital, and took a flight back to Debing City, Anjiang Province.

Li Yuanlang had already contacted Deping Mayor Kuang Zaohui before.

He originally wanted to find Zhang Quanlong.

However, the matters entrusted next are all within the scope of the municipal government. As mayor, Kuang Zaohui can handle them more easily.

"Zao Hui, I am Li Yuanlang."

"Secretary Li, hello." Kuang Zaohui was surprised and very happy when he heard Li Yuanlang's voice.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Yuanlang went straight to the point and stated his intentions.

"What?" Kuang Zaohui was shocked, "Fang Yan died!"

After all, when Fang Yan was serving Li Yuanlang, Kuang Zaohui had a lot of contact with him.

It is unimaginable for Kuang Zaohui to think of passing away suddenly when he was only in his twenties.

Kuang Zaohui felt very sad when he learned that Fang Yan was shot while fighting criminals.

"Fang Yan's girlfriend Qiao Xiaoli is about to return to Deping to deal with Fang Yan's funeral. I would like to ask your city government to help cooperate..."

"This is what we should do, both public and private, and we will handle it properly."

Li Yuanlang continued: "Qiao Xiaoli is pregnant with Fang Yan's flesh and blood, but she is in a bad mood and has great fluctuations. She is still entangled and hesitant about whether to keep the child."

"I understand how difficult it is for her to be a single mother raising a child, and I planned to help her as much as I can."

"It's just that Fang Yan's death was a huge blow to her. She will not stay in Lanqiao City and has made up her mind to leave. Therefore, I hope Mayor Kuang can help her and fulfill Fang Yan's guilt and regret for me."

After hearing this, Kuang Zaohui immediately expressed his position, "Secretary Li, you can call me, which shows your trust in me. I am very happy."

"To tell you the truth, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to repay you. Don't worry, I will do it myself and I must do it well. If I don't do it well, don't recognize me as your friend."

What Kuang Zaohui told the truth was that when choosing the mayor of Deping, Li Yuanlang understood the righteousness and did not choose Zhang Quanlong, with whom he had a close personal relationship, but him.

This made Kuang Zaohui feel so grateful to Li Yuanlang that he will never forget it.

What's more, he had a good relationship with Fang Yan at the beginning, and he felt that the young man's behavior was quite similar to that of Li Yuen Long.

It's just that he was jealous of Yingcai and died unexpectedly in his twenties. As he said, both in public and in private, Kuang Zaohui would take Qiao Xiaoli and Fang Yan's family seriously.

Li Yuanlang watched the car leave. He couldn't see the car anymore and still stood still.

If he doesn't leave, none of the other city leaders behind him will be embarrassed to leave.

At this time, Gao Minghua came over and reminded Li Yuanlang in a low voice.

"Oh." Li Yuanlang nodded and walked towards the red flag car parked not far away with heavy steps.

Li Zihui opened the car door and put up an awning with his hands.

Li Yuanlang sat in the back seat with one leg and waved to Gao Minghua.

Gao Minghua understood the situation and sat next to Li Yuanlang as the red flag car drove out of the city funeral home.

In the car, the two of them communicated together.

When the car reached the edge of the Luanjiang River, Li Yuanlang told the driver to stop the car and that he and Gao Minghua would come down for a walk.

Two big bosses of the Municipal Party Committee were walking along the corridor beside the Luanjiang River, looking at the rolling water of the Luanjiang River. Li Yuanlang's eyes were deep and his face was solemn.

"Secretary Li, there has been no movement from the Provincial Party Committee for several days. Even the candidate for the vacant position in Lanqiao has not been announced. What is going on?"
