With the island successfully taken, Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian also had a new goal, which was to turn this island into a holiday paradise that belonged to them.
And after Xu Jianguo's guidance, Wen Sitian also gave the island a new name, Forget-Sorrow Island.
It has been more than three years since the two left Jingzhou to start their global travels. However, they did not completely ignore family affairs. At least they would go back once a month to visit the homes of several old men and have a meal with them.
Because Xu Jianguo's current status is a re-employment after retirement, in addition to his previous scientific research work, he spends more time teaching students.
And not long ago, Xu Jianguo's stand-in servant received an invitation from his alma mater, the National University of Defense Technology, to become a special professor of mechanical engineering.
After the two of them finalized the design plan for the island, the construction workers and large equipment arranged by Xu Fei arrived on the island as scheduled.
Seeing that there was nothing left for them to do, Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian took Xiao Hei and Er Hei and left Wangyou Island to continue their round-the-world journey.
…
In the blink of an eye, three years passed and it was April 2011.
At this time, it has been six years since Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian left Jingzhou.
It was raining during the Qingming Festival. In the Jiulongshan Cemetery in Jingzhou, a special cemetery located on the top of a mountain, Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian, along with their children, stood in front of several tombstones in black clothes with solemn expressions.
Not far from them, there were many familiar faces, such as Chen Jin, Liang Chao, Ma Guoliang, Dong Jixiang and Wu Dajiang, all of whom had come.
The tomb of my late father, Su Dingshan, and his mother, Zhang Xiumei, was erected by my grandson Xu Jianguo and granddaughter-in-law Wen Sitian on May 15, 2010.
The tomb of my late father, Wu Tianlong, and his mother, He Xiuxiu, was erected by grandson Xu Jianguo and granddaughter-in-law Wen Sitian on March 12, 2009.
The tomb of my late father, Wang Huaian, and Tong Huifen, was erected by my grandson Xu Jianguo and granddaughter-in-law Wen Sitian on July 28, 2009.
And… (For some special reasons, it is not convenient to explain here, but in short, the old man and old lady who loved Xu Jianguo the most are gone.)
In three years, several old men and women around Xu Jianguo passed away one after another due to exhaustion.
Moreover, all the elderly people died of natural causes and passed away peacefully in their sleep.
What shocked Xu Jianguo the most was that his godfathers and godmothers were not willing to abandon each other. They all walked together hand in hand, and this alone made countless people envious.
Although Xu Jianguo was reborn, as he grew older, his memories of his past life began to become increasingly vague.
The departure of several old men and women also plunged Xu Jianguo into great grief. He originally had black hair, but in recent years, some white hair has gradually appeared.
However, he had no other choice but to feel helpless.
Fortunately, when the old people were alive, he, as their godgrandson, could be said to have done better than their biological grandson. In this life, he and the old people had a deep relationship as grandfather and grandson, and in the end, no one let anyone down.
Daya, Erya, Funniu and Lele looked at the names on the tombstone in front of them, and tears flowed down their faces unconsciously. Even Xu Zhengyang and Xu Pingan had red eyes at this time.
Although the old people have passed away for some time, they still can't help but cry every time they visit the graves during Qingming Festival and on their death anniversary.
It is because both Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian's parents are no longer around, so the children naturally developed a very deep affection for the elderly, which made them feel the feeling of being loved by their great-grandparents.
After everyone mourned the elderly with heavy hearts, Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian took the children to sweep the graves, using brooms and towels to clean the "new homes" of the elderly.
After sweeping the tomb, Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian took out the offerings they had brought and placed them in front of the tombstone.
Afterwards, Chen Jin, Liang Chao, Ma Guoliang, Dong Jixiang, Wu Dajiang and others came forward to toast the elderly people.
While toasting, Ma Guoliang, who is 86 years old this year, couldn't help but burst into tears.
Immediately afterwards, Dong Jixiang, Wu Dajiang and Chen Jin also burst into tears. Liang Chao was also silently shedding tears. From his slightly trembling body, it could be seen that he was trying his best to control his sadness.
Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian were nowhere to be found and were silently shedding tears. Daya, Erya, Funiu and Lele were also sobbing quietly.
As they were all quite old, Xu Jianguo was worried that they would not be able to bear the sadness, so he waved to Lin Hongtao (Daya's boyfriend), Zhao Yuan (Erya's boyfriend), Li Lei (Funiu's boyfriend), Li Xiangdong (Lin Hongxia's boyfriend), Xu Zhengyang, Xu Zheng (Le Le's boyfriend) and Xu Ping'an.
Upon seeing this, several people immediately stepped forward, supported the old men, and comforted them in a low voice.
After everyone calmed down, they stood up again, bowed three times to the tombstone, and then turned and walked down the mountain.
Xu Jianguo was the last one to come. Before going down the mountain, he took out a cigarette box from his pocket, lit three cigarettes in front of each elderly person's grave, and then stood at attention and saluted the tombstone with a standard military salute.
