Xu Jianguo was completely unaware that he had accidentally made Li Mancang and Li Erniu cry. Even if he knew, he would only laugh loudly at them for being useless, and then, like when they were children, kick him on the butt and scold them with a smile, "Get out."
This is a precious childhood memory that belongs only to Xu Jianguo, full of the taste of home. Whenever he thinks of it, he misses it very much.
At this time, Xu Jianguo was still sleeping soundly with Wen Sitian in his arms. Ever since Grandpa Zhou and his companions left the Dawali base, he had never accompanied his eldest son for morning exercises, which made the little guy Wenwen very dissatisfied with his father's "lying down" attitude.
After sleeping until around seven o'clock in the morning, Xu Jianguo was woken up by Lele again. The father and daughter had a friendly interaction as usual, which ended with the little girl's cry of "Mom, help me".
After getting up, dressing, washing, and taking care of his personal physiological problems, Xu Jianguo walked out of the room and came to the yard. Du Yu and Xu Xiaoshi had already placed breakfast on the table.
According to Xu Jianguo's plan, they will go to the government office today to first pay homage to Wen Sitian's mother, and then visit her father to discuss the relocation of the grave.
The little ones also knew about this, so after breakfast, the family dressed neatly and prepared to set off.
But to be on the safe side, Xu Jianguo planned to leave the space alone first, and let Wen Sitian and the children come out after confirming that there was no problem.
According to the location Wen Sitian told him, Xu Jianguo used the time and space portal to come to a place called Nantawa in the administrative office.
This place is located in the south of the administrative center and is famous for a stone tower of unknown age. This seven or eight meter high stone tower is built halfway up a hill. There is a clear puddle at the foot of the hill, hence the name Nantawa.
There are no words on the stone pagoda, only some vague carved patterns. If you look carefully, you can find that the carvings are of Buddhist and Taoist gods.
Because of this, the residents of the government office believed that the hill where the stone pagoda was located was a Feng Shui treasure land. Over time, it became a cemetery where people buried their ancestors.
Because it was still early, when Xu Jianguo appeared here, he did not notice the presence of other people.
So after he made sure it was safe, he used his mind to take Wen Sitian and the children out of the space.
Looking at the stone tower not far away, Wen Sitian's eyes were a little red, as if she was thinking of something bad.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo, who was standing next to him, quickly grabbed her hand and comforted her in a low voice.
The children, who usually chatter wherever they go, have become particularly well-behaved today.
After calming down and figuring out the direction, Wen Sitian led her family towards the top of the mountain.
This hill is not very large, only a little over a hundred meters high, but it is densely packed with countless graves and tombstones.
Fortunately, Xu Jianguo and his family are not ordinary people. In addition, it is broad daylight and the rising sun is guiding the way, so the whole hill does not give people a gloomy feeling.
What Xu Jianguo didn't know was that just as he appeared near the stone tower, the ghost tattoo on his chest began to emit bursts of white light.
Although his reaction was not as strong as when he faced the golden mask in the secret room of the Great Parrot Museum, the pupil-less eyes of the evil spirit on the tattoo were still creepy.
As Xu Jianguo and his group shuttled through the cemetery, the evil spirits on the tattoos seemed to be patrolling their own territory, full of supreme majesty.
Wen Sitian walked in front, the children walked in the middle, and Xu Jianguo walked at the end. It took the group more than half an hour to reach a slightly flat area not far from the top of the mountain.
And right in front of Wen Sitian's location, there appeared a stone tablet. When Xu Jianguo walked closer, he saw the words "Tomb of My Beloved Wife Luo Jing" written on it in large letters.
On the lower left and right corners of the stone tablet, there are some small words written, which are the birth and death dates of the deceased, as well as the name of the person who erected the tablet and the date of erection: husband Wen Yuanxin, daughter Wen Sitian, May 19, 1953.
The tomb looked very dilapidated, and it was obvious that no one had taken care of it for many years. This made Xu Jianguo have an even worse impression of his father-in-law, whom he had never met. At the same time, he was full of self-blame, secretly hating himself for not being able to accompany Wen Sitian to pay homage earlier.
Looking at Wen Sitian standing there in a daze, Xu Jianguo walked over to her, put his arm around her shoulders, and whispered, "Don't be sad, our mother is enjoying her life. I believe she must be watching you from heaven now. Knowing that you are living a good life, she must be happy. Besides, you are her favorite daughter. We also place our mother's tablet at home every New Year, so she will definitely not blame you for not visiting her for so long. Once we take our mother to Jingzhou, we can visit her often in the future."
After hearing what Xu Jianguo said, Wen Sitian turned to look at him, her face already in tears.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo felt so distressed that he tightened his arms around her shoulders and tried to let her lean on him, wanting to give her a warm support.
After the couple looked at each other for a while, Wen Sitian looked up at the blue sky, nodded vigorously, and smiled at Xu Jianguo.
After seeing that his wife's emotions had stabilized, Xu Jianguo let go of her arms, took out a broom and rag from the space, and then the family began to sweep the grave.
It took more than half an hour to clean the grave. Some dead branches and rotten leaves were cleared aside, the tombstone was wiped clean as new, and new soil was added to the grave mound.
At this time, Xu Jianguo took out the incense burner, incense and tributes that he had prepared in advance, and placed them neatly in front of the tombstone together with Wen Sitian. Then he stood up a pair of red chopsticks, and finally took out a cup of hot tea and placed it next to the chopsticks.
After Xu Jianguo lit the incense, he distributed three sticks to each person, and then he and Wen Sitian knelt down together to burn incense and kowtow to their mother.
After the couple kowtowed, they inserted the incense in their hands into the incense burner. Then Wenwen, Lele and the three maids followed their example and kowtowed to Luo Jing in turn.
