Finally, she pulled Xie Linan over and said to the ravine, "This is my eldest grandson. He's already this big. Grandma, you always worried that our family would be extinct. Look, I'm alive, married, and have children. Our family will not be extinct."
Perhaps the atmosphere was so sad that the villagers who followed were all in tears.
After returning, the village chief warmly invited them to stay for lunch.
Lin Xinghua agreed to come, saying that he wanted to taste the flavor of his hometown.
Xie Linan called the two boys and went back to the car to get the gifts that 깊 had brought.
The gifts here are also simple, just some candies, dried fruits, etc.
He packed enough to fill his trunk.
In this village of a dozen people, every family received a large bag of rice.
After having lunch here and chatting with the old lady for a while, Lin Xinghua suggested leaving as it was getting late.
On the way back, neither of them spoke a word. They drove for more than three hours before returning to the hotel they had booked.
It was dark by then.
Xie Linan took the old man to the hotel and asked him, "What would you like to eat?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry. It's so late. I don't want to eat. You eat by yourself. I'll go to sleep."
Xie Linan did not persuade her, but just said, "Then you go to sleep first, I'll go out and find something to eat."
"Um."
There were two beds in the room, one for Xie Linan and one for the old man.
He helped him make the bed and let him sleep first before going out to look for food.
Find a noodle restaurant and eat a few bites.
After returning, Xie Linan did not return to the room immediately, but called Ye Xiaozhen on the top floor of the hotel to tell him about the worship on the 1st day.
After he finished speaking, he sighed: "We live in the mountains, which is a bit poor, but it also has its advantages. At least wars usually don't come to us."
"Oh." Ye Xiaozhen sighed, "When will you come back?"
"I'll ask Grandpa tomorrow. I guess it's nothing. Maybe I can come back tomorrow."
"OK."
"Yes, that...that woman, she didn't come, did she?"
"No, everyone in the village agrees that we moved away a few days ago."
"Well, I don't think I can hide much."
"Oh, I'll deal with it when you come back."
"good."
…
After a night's rest, Lin Xinghua woke up much more energetic the next day and even drank two bowls of porridge for breakfast.
While eating breakfast, Xie Linan asked him, "Grandpa, are you going to play here for a few days?"
Lin Xinghua wiped his mouth and said, "No, let's go back."
"According to the village chief, my first and second grandfathers are both martyrs, and they are enshrined in the Martyrs' Park. Shouldn't we go and take a look?"
"No, my whole family died together, but I survived. I am living a miserable life, I can't face them."
Xie Linan held his forehead and said, "Grandpa, how could you think like that? Let's not talk about your leg problem. At that time, you were too old to wear it."
Lin Xinghua lowered his head and said, "But none of my nephews who are not old enough have left. No one has left, so I am leaving."
"Isn't your nephew only two years old? He wants to leave, how can he leave?"
Lin Xinghua remained silent.
Xie Linan added, "Besides, who wants their family members to die? They will be so happy to know that you are alive. I went to ask around this morning, and the Martyrs' Park is nearby. Let's go and take a look."
Lin Xinghua still kept his head down and remained silent.
Xie Linan sighed and said, "It's fine if you don't go. I'll go. I'll go see my eldest grandfather and second grandfather and the others."
Xie Linan stood up, looked at Lin Xinghua and said, "Have you eaten well? After you eat, I'll take you upstairs. Wait for me in the room. I'll be back soon."
Lin Xinghua saw that he was not joking and went for real.
He could only sigh helplessly and said, "Well! Okay, let's go together."
Xie Linan smiled, "That's right, you said you have such a bad temper, why are you always so pretentious?"
"Well, I'm already this old, and I won't live long. Sooner or later, I'll have to see them after I die. It won't be too late to apologize until I see them."
"Well, that's hard to say. There are so many of them, maybe they have already been reincarnated."
Lin Xinghua: “…”
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say.
"Go faster, go earlier and come back earlier. If your mother comes back and finds Xiaozhen, she won't be able to handle it alone, so we have to go back earlier."
"Okay, let's go now."
Xie Linan took him to the Martyrs' Park. After Lin Xinghua showed his ID card and explained his relationship with him, the tomb keeper found a thick booklet and found the tombs of Lin Zhenhua's brothers.
"Here it is. I'll write it down for you. You can use the location on this piece of paper to find it. I'm alone at this spot and can't leave. I won't accompany you to find it."
"Okay, you're busy, we'll go find it ourselves."
Xie Linan led his grandfather along as they walked, stopping and starting.
He was now tired from walking and panting heavily. Xie Linan was afraid that he might have a relapse, so he did not dare to urge him.
Seeing that he began to breathe heavily, I asked him to put down his crutches and rest for a while.
Then he took out a cup of water and gave it to him so that he could drink some water.
While Lin Xinghua was resting, Xie Linan looked into the distance.
There are so many tombstones that I don’t know how long it will take to search.
He said, "Grandpa, please sit here and wait for me. I will go and look for it first, and then come back to pick you up after I find it."
Lin Xinghua was really tired, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
He patted his legs and said, "My legs are old and I can't stand them."
He doesn't care about the leg problem, never mind, he said.
Xie Linan did not argue with him. After explaining everything clearly, he went to look for her alone.
After searching for a while, I finally found a tombstone with the surname Lin.
The names of two people are engraved on it, and there are two old black-and-white photos on the back.
My grandfather’s eldest and second brothers are buried here.
Xie Linan stopped and looked at the old photo with mixed feelings.
He bowed deeply before returning the same way.
Lin Xinghua had almost finished his rest by then, "Lin An, have you found it?"
Xie Linan trotted over and said, "Find it. I'll take you there."
"good."
Xie Linan took the cup of water, put it in her bag, then supported him and continued walking forward.
I have found it. I don't need to go on the wrong road any more. I will be there soon.
"Grandpa, it's over here, do you see it?"
When Lin Xinghua saw the photo next to the name, he rubbed his eyes and took out his reading glasses and put them on.
After putting on glasses, you can see more clearly.
He squatted beside the tombstone, tears streaming down his face.
"Oh, oh, these are my eldest and second brothers. Lin An, look, our family members all look like this, and they all take after my father, your great grandfather. Your eldest grandfather and great grandfather look the most like them. Don't you look somewhat similar to them?"
