Zhou Renhe is buried in the old forest of the Xu family, just behind his parents. Xu Changying's tomb is also nearby. This is not an official cemetery. It belongs to the scope of Yangshan Village. There are many tombs on the mountain and they appear messy and disorderly.
Xu Changshan looked at his brother's new grave with mixed feelings in his heart. It was really a twist of fate. If his father had recognized his eldest brother earlier, the misunderstanding would not have happened later! His parents are dead, and his sister suffered misfortune at a young age.
Now the eldest brother is gone too.
After Xu Chunliang and others burned the paper, they came to Grandpa and reminded him that it was time to leave. Xu Changshan sighed and said, "You go first, I want to stay here for a while."
Xu Chunliang looked at the time. There was a thank you banquet at noon. Since many relatives and friends came here for him, he must go there and arrange the reception.
Xu Jiaxuan said: "You go first, I will take your grandpa back later."
Xu Chunliang nodded and left first.
Xu Jiaxuan took out a cigarette and handed it to his father, lighting it for him.
Xu Changshan took a sip, inserted the cigarette into the incense burner, and said softly: "Brother, we brothers have never had a chance to smoke and drink together in this life. Just take a sip."
Xu Jiaxuan pursed his lips. He could understand the old man's mood, opened a bottle of wine and filled two small wine glasses.
Xu Changshan took the half bottle of wine he handed him, spilled the wine on the ground, and asked Xu Jiaxuan to toast his grandfather a few more glasses.
Xu Jiaxuan simply paid tribute to each of them. After finally coming back, it was time to visit the graves of his family members.
When he returned to his father, he happened to see the old man turn around and secretly wipe his tears. People tend to become sentimental as they get older.
Xu Jiaxuan could understand his father. The reason why his father was so sad was that he had misunderstood his uncle for so many years. He handed his father a cigarette again and lit it for him respectfully.
Xu Changshan took a puff of smoke and said: "When I leave, I will be buried here. The whole family will be together, it will be lively and I won't be lonely."
Xu Jiaxuan smiled and said: "You are still in good health."
Xu Changshan glanced at his son and said meaningfully: "Every time you come back, I always think that this may be the last time we see each other."
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Good luck, Dad, please don't say that." Hearing his father speak like this, he felt guilty. In fact, he thought so in his heart. As his father got older, he saw less of him.
Xu Changshan said: "In the past twenty years since Chunliang was born, the two of us have only met each other for less than a month."
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Dad, I will come back to see you often in the future."
Xu Changshan shook his head and said, "Don't force it. It depends on whether you love me or not."
"You still blame me."
Xu Changshan said: "No, you left me such a good grandson. I can't thank you enough, so how can I hate you? Jiaxuan, I still can't understand, why are foreign countries so good? Their moon is really better than ours.
Yuan? Why are you so focused on staying in a foreign country and refusing to come back?"
In the past, Xu Changshan could still understand. After all, Xu Jiaxuan got married there. Now, isn't it said that they are divorced? Why don't you want to come back?
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Dad, I have been away for more than 20 years. I have developed in North America these years. My career, my family, my friends, and my connections are all there. I can't just leave them behind. If
When I return to China, everything has to start again."
Xu Changshan said: "Is career so important? The home over there is home, but ours here is not home?"
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Dad, I promise you that I will definitely come back, but at least until I retire."
Xu Changshan said: "I believe you will come back, but I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until you come back." He put out the cigarette butt, put it away carefully, patted Xu Jiaxuan's shoulder and said, "Let's go, don't let it go."
People have waited too long.”
Xu Chunliang left a car for his father. On the way Xu Jiaxuan drove the old man to the hotel, Xu Changshan changed his mind and whispered: "I won't go, I'm tired."
Xu Jiaxuan said: "It's okay if you don't go. I'll take you home?"
Xu Changshan looked outside the car and suddenly said: "Go and have a look at the old Yellow River."
Xu Jiaxuan drove his father to the river, parked the car, opened the door, and helped his father get out of the car.
Xu Changshan sighed with emotion: "It has changed, it has completely changed. Now the river has become a park. In the past, it was all messy..." He suddenly stopped and looked at the clear river: "Your aunt was killed here.
of."
Xu Jiaxuan knew that his aunt Xu Changying was opposed by his grandfather because of their love affair, so he threw himself into the river in anger. But today his father mentioned that he was killed. Xu Jiaxuan couldn't help but frowned: "Killed?"
Xu Changshan nodded and said, "She did not commit suicide."
"Dad, tell me what exactly happened that year? I'll find someone to investigate."
Xu Changshan sighed and said, "It's too late to say anything now. Your uncle didn't tell me the specific situation. He just asked me to be wary of one person."
"who?"
"Huang Youlong from Mingde Group was our neighbor's kid back then. I still have an impression of him."
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Huang Youlong and our family used to be neighbors?"
Xu Changshan nodded and said: "I remember that he was just a child at the time. He often came and went to play in the spring hall. I even helped him make a slingshot. If your uncle hadn't mentioned it, I would never have imagined that he had become the president of Mingde Group.
He also became a Korean-Chinese.”
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Uncle, what you mean is, is my aunt's death related to the Huang family?"
Xu Changshan sighed and said: "I don't know, he was just a child back then. I remember that not long after your aunt passed away, almost the entire Huang family died due to poisoning. Only Xiaolong, that is, Huang Youlong, survived because he went out. Your grandfather
He was also one of the suspects. Later, he chose to commit suicide because he could not bear the mental stress. It was not long before they found out that Uncle Huang... was a spy. They committed suicide out of fear of crime."
Xu Jiaxuan basically knew about these situations, and his grandfather was innocent. However, because the incident took so long and all the parties involved died, there was no way to know the truth. It seemed that the uncle should know what happened.
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Uncle asked you to be wary of Huang Youlong, which proves that Huang Youlong still hates our Xu family."
Xu Changshan said: "The police have proven that the death of his family has nothing to do with our Xu family. It is unreasonable for him to hate us."
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Dad, maybe there is something hidden about what happened back then. Since uncle reminds you, you should be more careful. As far as I know, Huang Youlong's Mingde Group and Renhetang are in a cooperative relationship. Does he want to deal with it through Renhetang?"
Xu family?"
Xu Changshan shook his head and said: "I have lived for most of my life, and at the end of my life, I have an enemy inexplicably."
Xu Jiaxuan secretly thought that Xu Chunliang should know something about the situation. After all, it was this boy who first got involved with Zhou Renhe. His father had been treating illnesses, saving people, and doing good deeds all his life, and he had no enemies. However, he was framed a while ago, so this Huang Youlong is most likely...
The enemy hidden behind the scenes.
Xu Changshan said: "Jiaxuan, at my age, I am not afraid of anyone seeking revenge. What I am most worried about is Chunliang, for fear that some bad people will do harm to him."
Hearing what he said, Xu Jiaxuan almost laughed out loud, but because he was in front of his father on this special day, he had to restrain himself: "Dad, instead of worrying about him, you should worry about me."
Xu Changshan glared at him: "You are so far away in North America, I'm worried about you!"
Xu Jiaxuan couldn't laugh or cry and said: "This kid Chunliang will definitely be more capable than me in the future. You keep thinking about it. No matter what he doesn't arrange properly, I, the father, will feel ashamed in front of him."
When Xu Changshan heard what he said, he felt much more at ease: "It doesn't matter who raised you."
Xu Jiaxuan said: "It also depends on genes. He was born to me."
"You were born to me!"
Xu Jiaxuan nodded: "Okay, your old genes are good, your old genes are the best!"
Xu Changshan said: "No matter what, Chunliang is still young after all, and he may not have enough understanding of the dangers of the human heart."
Xu Jiaxuan said: "Dad, don't worry. If I stay a few more days this time, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and resolve it before I leave. What do you think?"
Xu Changshan looked at Xu Jiaxuan, making Xu Jiaxuan's heart tremble. He thought to himself, did I say the wrong thing again? How did I offend the old man?
"You finally said something humane."
After the thank-you banquet, Mei Ruxue saw that Xu Chunliang had drunk a lot of wine and offered to send him home. Xu Chunliang asked her to send her sister-in-law and the others back first. She still had to see off the guests here, and it would be a while before she could leave.
Ji Jiajia and Hua Zhuyue came here together. Hua Zhuyue came specially to attend the funeral this morning.
Xu Chunliang said: "I will feel relieved if you come."
Xu Chunliang said: "I will feel relieved if you come."
Hua Zhuyue said: "Are you worried that Jiajia will run away?"
Ji Jiajia said: "I'm an adult now, I don't need you to worry about me."
Hua Zhuyue said: "I don't want to care about you." She said goodbye to Xu Chunliang and was going back to Nanjiang in the afternoon. Ji Jiajia didn't plan to go with her. She finally came to Dongzhou and planned to have a few days of fun in Dongzhou.
, I have to thank you for bringing so many international friends here.
Xu Chunliang thought that Ji Jiajia's group of international friends were just a bunch of diners from wealthy families, but it was hard to buy happiness with money. Anyway, this apprentice was rich.
After seeing them off, a group of colleagues from the Bureau of Culture and Tourism came to say goodbye. Fu Guomin held Xu Chunliang's hand and said, "Chunliang, you don't have to worry about work. Have a good rest and come back to work when you're ready."
Xu Chunliang wanted to laugh a little. He was still on secondment and should be managed by Hushan Town. Fu Guomin made arrangements directly, but he also had good intentions.
Xu Chunliang said: "Director Fu, there is nothing wrong with my health and I don't need to rest. I can officially start work the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Fu Guomin said: "This is what you said. Our Cultural Tourism Bureau has recently thought about several plans for cultural tourism activities. We will discuss them at the meeting next Monday. If you can come, come to the meeting."
"No problem." Xu Chunliang was also afraid of being idle.
This is the last chapter of this month, thank you all! The updates in July will definitely be better than those in June!
