Xie Linan took a deep breath.
The Three Alls Policy at that time really meant leaving no one behind.
This is a heavy period of history that brings tears to my eyes whenever I recall it.
"So... do you still want to go back and take a look?"
When Xie Linan suddenly mentioned this, a different light appeared in Lin Xinghua's old and cloudy eyes.
When Xie Linan saw his expression, he knew that he wanted to go back and take a look.
Even if all the family members died, wouldn't the ancestral tomb still be there?
It would be nice to go and pay respects, and then go back to the village to have a look.
"It took me half a year to get here. It was fine a few years ago, but I'm afraid my health won't allow it now."
Xie Linan smiled and said, "Transportation is very convenient now. It took you half a year to get there before, but now it only takes a few days. If Grandpa is willing, I will take you back in two days to see it."
"How many days will it take to arrive?"
"Well, I won't let you walk. I'll drive you there. If there's a plane nearby, we can take a plane. It's closer."
“I don’t know.”
"Does Grandpa know where your home is?"
"I know, I know, come here with 놖."
He stood up tremblingly and walked towards the picture on the wall.
This was the picture he put up when he moved in two years ago.
Just take a look if you have nothing to do.
He always remembers where his home is.
"Here." He pointed to a place in the map and said to Xie Linan, "My home is here."
In this case...
Xie Linan said in embarrassment: "It's probably too cold now. You're not feeling well now, so it's not appropriate for you to go now. How about this, I'll take you there in the spring."
Lin Xinghua thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, it's very cold in my hometown at this time. I have to sleep on the kang at night, otherwise I will freeze to death."
After standing for a while, Lin Xinghua felt a little tired. He stepped back and sat down, and said, "It was fine when I was young, but not now. I'm old and used to the warm environment. I'm afraid I can't stand it now. Okay, let's wait until spring. Lin An, you are so busy, will it delay you?"
Xie Linan smiled and said, "What can this delay? There is probably an airport right here. We can take a plane and arrive in a few hours."
"How many hours will it take to get there?"
"Wow, airplanes are so fast nowadays. Grandpa, you have never been on an airplane before. Do you want to try flying to the sky?"
Listening to his excitement, I felt a little yearning, but also... a little scared.
"If you fly so high, will you fall down?"
Xie Linan: “…”
"No, the probability of an airplane accident is very low. It's safer than taking a car."
"That's different. If a car flips over, you can still get up, but if you fall off a plane, you may not even be able to find your bones."
Xie Linan held his forehead with his hand, "Grandpa, with your physique, are you sure you can get up after a car accident?"
Lin Xinghua: “…”
This turtle grandson.
It always makes him so angry that he doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
…
The next day, New Year's Day, they went back to the grave and ran into the families of Xie Zhiguo and Xie Zhili again.
They will also come to bury their ancestors.
Although he is not very filial to his ancestors, he is very active in burying his deceased ancestors every year.
After all, it's not a big deal. It's just a matter of burning some paper money, and you can also ask for blessings from your ancestors. It will sound good in the eyes of your fellow villagers and when they tell others about it, it sounds good.
Xie Zhiguo came to them and said to Xie Linan, "Linan, I thought about what happened yesterday and realized that we were wrong. Over the years, your second uncle, for the sake of his own family, really didn't take care of you brothers and didn't care enough about your grandfather. This is really wrong."
Xie Linan looked at him sideways, wondering what he was trying to do.
"Your grandpa is so old now, we should take responsibility for our own life. Otherwise, if something happens to him, we won't be able to fulfill our filial duties even if we want to."
Xie Linan's mouth twitched, "So...?"
"So after we went back yesterday, we discussed it together and decided that each of the three families will take care of Grandpa for one month in the future. You have already taken care of him for so long, so let's start this month. You will take Grandpa away tomorrow, and on this day next month, your third uncle will take him away, and you will take him back the month after next. What do you think?"
Xie Linan: “…”
He squinted his eyes and looked at them, thinking that he wanted to see what they were up to.
"That's it?"
Xie Zhili beside him smiled and said, "Well, since everyone is here today, let's settle this matter in front of our ancestors."
"Oh, it's settled?"
"Oh, we are a family. Our ancestors would definitely hope that we can support each other and love each other, instead of watching us fighting over the issue of old age, acting like enemies and not interacting with each other on a regular basis."
Oh, after hearing what they said, Xie Linan understood.
It turns out that my grandfather is in poor health and won't live for many more years, so I came here to show my filial piety.
I thought that if we all fulfill our filial duties together, we can help each other in the future, right?
Why do they have such beautiful thoughts?
Not to mention a month for the family, even if they took the old man in and worshipped him as their ancestor, they could not get even a little bit of advantage from him.
Because...their family will be moving away soon.
Besides...Xie Linan didn't think they really had the patience to take good care of Grandpa.
Xie Linan smiled coldly, "Okay, I'm glad you can think of fulfilling your filial piety. There's no problem here, you just need to convince Grandpa."
"Yes, of course. It is natural for a son to support his father in his old age. As long as the son is still alive, there is no reason for the grandson to support him in his old age. He definitely agrees."
Xie Linan laughed.
See, everyone understands the truth, but they just pretend not to understand.
"Okay then, you guys go talk to Grandpa later."
"become."
The old man was waiting for them in the old house with his three children and did not come with 껗껚.
But he is old and has a lame leg, so it is inconvenient for him to crawl.
Especially since it rained a little last night, the mud was wet and very slippery.
Grandpa can't crawl at this age, and neither can the three little ones.
After the incense was burned, Ye Xiaozhen pulled Xie Linan, and the two of them deliberately walked at the end.
They said they were afraid of causing trouble, so they wanted to wait until all the incense was extinguished before leaving.
Xie Zhili said unhappily, "It rained last night, and the grass is all wet. How can we burn it?"
Xie Linan: "If it catches fire, will you be responsible?"
Xie Zhili: “…”
Xie Zhiguo said, "Third brother, let's go. Lin An is guarding the place by himself and he didn't ask you to guard it. Why are you worrying about it? Let's go downstairs and look for dad first."
Xie Zhiguo made a face at him, and he followed Xie Zhiguo away.
"Brother, do you think he really means it?"
"Why not? Do you think it's that easy to support your parents? Do you think Xie Linan is really that filial? Humph, when he heard that he was going to take his old man away, didn't you see that his mouth was crooked with laughter?"
Xie Zhili thought he was smiling, but... he felt that his smile was weird and not right.
