Not surprisingly she said yes.
"You are already old, why do you still care about these things? Young people have their own ideas, so don't impose your ideas on them. Isn't the one who is in charge of logistics for Teacher Ruan the eldest brother Pei Qingsong?"
Her words reminded me, yes, what value can an old man like me create? The position of the clan leader must maximize the benefits. Whoever is capable will take the position, whoever can lead the clan members to prosperity will take the position.
I immediately started crying to my brothers who had not yet entered the coffin, telling them that my health was failing and that in order to manage the affairs of the tribe properly, it was time to elect a new chief.
With my operation, the patriarch's hat fell steadily on Pei Qingsong's head.
He was very surprised.
After hesitating for a while, he actually refused.
The reason for his refusal was very simple. In the ancestral hall, he told us elders with a guilty look on his face, "My fellow elders, it's not that I don't want to be the chief, but I really can't do it. I'm traveling all over the country now. Even if there is a problem in the tribe, I can't rush back immediately. So I suggest that the tribe should choose a more stable person to be the chief, who can stay here and take charge of the rear."
We accepted his suggestion and selected a responsible and accountable person from a group of young people to succeed the patriarch.
The new patriarch is tall and strong, with dark skin, and looks very tough at first glance.
Since the new team leader was elected, the development of the rural collective economy has entered in full swing, and the young people in the tribe have been divided into two groups.
Those who are willing to go out and venture into the world will be given certain support by the clan, but if they are willing to stay at home, they will become the beneficiaries of the development of the rural collective economy.
I didn’t really understand what they were doing, I just knew that the burden on me was finally lifted, and I spent a few days feeling relaxed.
Walking the cat and dog everywhere, and playing with the children.
Such leisurely days did not last long. On a quiet and peaceful afternoon, I was lying on a recliner and seemed to see my daughter-in-law who had passed away long ago.
She came over with a smile and took my hand, "You have done what you should do, it's time for you to come and accompany me."
Yes, in this life, the people who should accompany you the most are the ones who spend the least time with you.
