Fang Zongtang approached the tombstone, squatted down, and reached out to touch the inscription on the tombstone. After a year of wind and rain, the color had faded a little.

Song Yi bent down and took out a dish from the box at his feet. He poured paint into the dish and said, "I have already mixed the colors with cinnabar. When Ji Zong was young, I was the one who did the red painting. When Ji Zong is older, he will do the red painting."

Fang Zongtang took the brush handed to him, concentrated his mind, and began to sketch stroke by stroke, ignoring his ears during the process.

After finishing the last stroke, he asked in a deep voice, "Where is the traitor?"

Song Yi took the brush handed back and said, "We should weed over there in the pavilion."

Fang Zongtang stood up and stepped back from the stone tablet: "Go call him over!"

Song Yi closed the box and replied, "Okay."

She looked at the stone tablet standing on the top of the mountain in silence for a long time.

Fang Jizong was called over, with a reluctant look on his face. He lowered his head and looked aside without saying hello to Fang Zongtang.

When she saw the two men coming, she knelt down straight.

Song Yi hurriedly walked to a place half a foot behind Fang Zongtang and knelt down with him.

Fang Jizong looked at a person, one standing straight and the other kneeling with a half-bent waist, and they knelt awkwardly beside their father.

Humph, he used to kneel in front of his father.

Why does dad act like a punching bag today?

Fang Jizong felt very unhappy.

Fang Zongtang said, "Grandpa, I've been away for ten years, and I'm finally back."

A trip to pay homage to the ancestors, to comfort the descendants and to let them return!

"Although I have forgotten where I have been in the past ten years, I will never forget your words. Now that I am back, I will do my best to complete the tasks you have assigned me, find my great-grandmother and great-grandfather, and pass on Lao Xingtang from my hands."

After she finished speaking, she kowtowed three times solemnly.

Song Yi followed behind him and kowtowed. Even though Fang Jizon was reluctant, he did not dare to be careless when it came to worshiping his ancestor, and he followed suit.

After bowing, she let out a breath, sat down cross-legged, and stretched out her hand to Song Yi.

"I'll eat something with my great grandfather."

Song Yi brought the dishes and chopsticks with such skill that Fang Jizong, who was standing beside him, was shocked.

Why weren’t you letting him eat after he kowtowed before?

"I want to talk to my great-grandfather, please don't disturb me." Fang Zongtao turned and said to Song Yi.

Song Yi kicked his dazed son and motioned for him to follow him.

After the adult and the child left, Fang Zongtang raised the corners of his lips and tears fell.

Song Yi took his son to the pavilion to pull weeds.

"Father, why do you look so afraid of her?" Although Fang Jizong was unwilling to admit it in his heart, he couldn't help wanting to know the answer, so he asked what was in his mind.

Song Yi handed the hoe to his son and said calmly: "Your great grandfather and your mother are both very disciplined people. Your great grandfather and grandfather died early, so your great grandfather placed all his hopes on your mother and was very strict with her. She is a very capable person. I respect her very much, not afraid of her!"

Fang Jizong looked at the finger marks under his father's chin with suspicion, then thought about the slap marks on his own face, and thought to himself, I don't believe it!

Song Yi bent down to weed, and while weeding, he urged: "Hurry up, your mother will be angry when she sees that we haven't done much work after talking to your grandfather."

Fang Jizong: And you still say you’re not afraid?

Fang Zongtang didn't know what to say. Her mind was blank for the past ten years.

After a long silence, he wiped away his tears and joked, "Grandpa, when you chew the bones, don't chew them so cleanly, leave some meat for Wangcai. Don't chew them cleaner than a dog every time, it will make Wangcai angry to death~"
