After everyone had finished burning incense, Wen Sitian knelt in front of the tombstone again, looked at the words on it, and whispered, "Mom, I'm sorry it took me so long to come see you! I'm living a good life, don't worry. This is your son-in-law, Xu Jianguo, a soldier. These are your grandson and granddaughter, and this is Daya..."
Wen Sitian seemed to want to tell her mother all the distress she had felt in the past ten years. Xu Jianguo listened to her choked voice and did not continue to comfort her. Instead, he let her vent her grievances.
Seeing Wen Sitian crying as she spoke, Xu Jianguo felt a pain in his heart. When she stopped talking, he knelt down again and said, "Mom, I'm your son-in-law. Although we've never met, please rest assured. I promise you with my military status and honor that I will take good care of Sitian and the children!"
As if they could sense their mother's sadness, Wenwen and Lele also came to her side.
The little girl didn't know how to comfort her mother, so she could only hug her mother's neck with tears in her eyes and put her little head close to her mother's.
Wenwen has a calm personality. He did not hug his mother like Lele, but silently held Wen Sitian's hand with his little hand.
Feeling the worry of her son and daughter, Wen Sitian wiped her tears and said to them with a smile: "Mom is fine, don't worry. Come, the one living in here is Mom's mom, who is also your grandma. Come and say hello to her!"
"Mom, can grandma hear me?" Lele asked innocently.
Wen Si nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, grandma will definitely hear you, because you two are her darlings, her favorite grandson and granddaughter."
Seeing the two little ones calling "Grandma" politely towards the tombstone, Wen Sitian finally showed that familiar smile on her face again, but in this smile, there was also a hint of nostalgia and relief.
Noticing her state when talking to the children, Xu Jianguo's heart relaxed a little. He was really worried that his wife would have problems due to excessive grief.
At this moment, Wen Sitian suddenly turned to look at Xu Jianguo and said, "Jianguo, I don't want to see my dad anymore!"
"Not going?"
"Well, let's just move my mother's grave!"
Xu Jianguo looked into her eyes and asked, "Have you thought it through?"
"Um!"
"Okay, whatever you say!" Xu Jianguo said.
In fact, he could understand Wen Sitian's mood very well. When the family first arrived here, the area around the grave could be described as overgrown with weeds. The grass in front of the tombstone was almost half a meter high. This obviously could not have been caused in a short period of time.
If Wen Sitian hadn't known the location, even if Xu Jianguo wanted to find it, he would have had to pull away the weeds to carefully identify the words on the tombstone.
From this, it can be seen that after Wen Yuanxin remarried, it is very likely that he never came to pay homage to his deceased wife. In addition, Wen Sitian's uncle passed away, and she followed Xu Jianguo to Binhai, completely turning this place into a deserted grave.
When she first came, Wen Sitian was probably just focused on being sad. Now that she has calmed down, she thought about what she had seen before and made this decision.
Xu Jianguo has always supported his wife's ideas. Even if they think there is a problem, the couple will sit together and analyze it calmly.
Even though they sometimes quarrel, their love for each other has never changed.
So after confirming Wen Sitian's true thoughts, Xu Jianguo nodded vigorously, and then sent her and the children into the space first.
When he was the only one left in front of the tomb, Xu Jianguo opened his Eye of Time and Space and looked towards the location of the tomb.
Soon, the tombstone and the pile of earth began to become transparent, and then a pitch-black urn appeared in front of Xu Jianguo.
After determining the location, Xu Jianguo directly put the urn into the space. As for the tombstone, he did not move it, but let it remain in its original place.
But before he left, he erased the words "beloved wife" and "husband Wen Yuanxin".
He did this because these words made him feel sick.
Through Wen Sitian's narration, he was able to feel his mother-in-law Luo Jing's deep love for her daughter, but Wen Yuanxin had never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.
Therefore, Xu Jianguo did not want these words to remain on the tombstone and tarnish the reputation of this mother who loved her daughter deeply.
After solving these problems, Xu Jianguo did not stay any longer. He flashed into the space with a thought.
After returning to the space, Xu Jianguo first used the system mall to buy a new rosewood urn and customized a new tombstone. Then he found Wen Sitian and took her away from the courtyard.
Not far from the yard, they found a flat place and placed the two urns on the ground.
Then the couple placed Luo Jing's ashes in a new urn while muttering about moving their mother.
Then he wrapped it in red cloth and placed it in the grave that Xu Jianguo had dug in advance, and finally buried it with his own hands.
On Xu Jianguo’s newly customized tombstone, it is written: Tomb of loving mother Luo Jing, the person who erected the tombstone is his daughter Wen Sitian, and his son-in-law Xu Jianguo.
After doing all this, the couple lit another stick of incense, kowtowed again, and then returned to the courtyard.
…
Bashu, Chengdu.
Xu Jianguo and his family were walking leisurely on the road. Each of the three girls was holding an enamel jar in her hand, which was filled with the local famous jelly.
Wenwen and Lele held hands and would run to their aunt from time to time, open their mouths, and act as if waiting to be fed, which made Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian, who were walking behind them, laugh and cry.
Because it was close to noon, Xu Jianguo and Wen Sitian discussed it and decided not to stay in the space for lunch. Instead, they chose to fly directly to Chengdu and prepare to comfort their souls with an authentic Sichuan hot pot.
As usual, Xu Jianguo left first to explore the way, and only after making sure that there was no one around did he pick up Wen Sitian and the children.
The place where the family appeared was still in the woods of a small park in Chengdu City.
Their destination was a state-owned restaurant not far from the park, which was considered a well-known restaurant in the area.
