32
"Xiao Gang, Grandpa is dying…After Grandpa leaves, I'll leave Weng Cao Village to you…"
On the bed, a white-haired old man held Xue Gang's hand and reminded him.
Xue Gang sat by the bed, his head full of confusion. At first, he thought it was an act, but after looking around, he didn't see a single camera.
Seeing Xue Gang's gaze wandering around, the old man sighed and said,""Xiao Gang, I know you hate me for not letting you act. However, protecting Weng Cao Village was the responsibility and destiny of the Xue family. I, your grandfather, have always been shouldering this responsibility. Now, it's your turn to bear this responsibility.”
Xue Gang didn't understand what the old man meant. He only had a vague feeling that the 'Xue Gang' the old man was referring to was him.
"Bang bang bang"
There was a sudden knock on the door of the dilapidated house. Seeing that Xue Gang was still in a daze, the old man mustered all his strength and shouted,"Come in!"
An old man wearing a blue overalls that had been washed until it had turned white walked to the bed and bowed respectfully with a two-year-old child in his arms.
"Mr. Xue."
Seeing that the old man on the bed was only looking at him without saying anything, the old man knew that he did not have much time left.
The old man handed the child in his hand to him and said,"Mr. Xue, this is Young Master Xue Gang's child.”
Xue Gang was still in a daze when he heard someone calling his name. He raised his head and glanced at the old man. With just one glance, she was attracted by the child in the old man's arms.
Perhaps it was because of the connection between their bloodlines, but the child was also staring at him blankly. A moment later, the child called out," Daddy."
When Xue Gang came back to his senses, the child was already in his arms, his two small hands wrapped around his neck.
"Is it confirmed?"
"Yes," the old man nodded. This child's name is Xiao Ying."
A smile gradually appeared on the old man's face. Gradually, this smile turned into a loud laugh.
"Hahaha, good! Good! Good! I didn't expect to see my great-granddaughter again before I, Xue Chengli, died! Sure!" After the laughter stopped, Xue Chengli looked at the old man and said,""Xiaolong, you've been with me for so many years. Before I die, I have one last favor to ask of you.”
Elder Long tried his best to bury his sorrow in the deepest part of his eyes and said,"Mr. Xue, just say it.”
"After I die, help me take care of Xiao Gang. He has no parents since he was young. It's hard for him to live with an old man like me. If he doesn't want to stay in Wengcao Village to farm, I'll leave him a house here and help him sell all my land.”
Elder Long raised his head in shock." But…Mr. Xue…You…"
Xue Chengli grabbed Elder Long's hand tightly and said sternly,""This is the last wish of the old man before he dies. Do you want the old man to die in peace?”
Looking into Xue Chengli's eyes, Elder Long nodded a moment later. He lowered his head and said dejectedly,""Mr. Xue, I understand."
Xue Chengli took one last look at Xue Gang and the child in his arms before leaving with Xiao Ying at the corner of his mouth.
"Mr. Xue? Mr. Xue!" Elder Long could no longer suppress the sadness in his voice, and there was even a hint of sobs in his voice.
"The system has bound to the host…Activating…Activating. The strongest farm owner system is at your service.”Just as the old man let go and left, a voice suddenly sounded in Xue Gang's mind.
Hearing this voice, Xue Gang, who had read a lot of web novels, finally understood. He had really transmigrated.
However, after he transmigrated, he actually did not have any memories of his predecessor? The only person he knew was a name that was the same as his previous life, and it was a name that an old man who was about to die told him? Although this name was the same as his previous life, Xue Gang…
Oh, right.
Looking at the little girl in his arms, Xue Gang's expression was a little strange.
He had just transmigrated and already had a daughter?
Xue Gang looked around in a daze. He did not know where he would go in this world…
"Daddy, I'm taking Qiuqiu out to play!”
In the morning, after breakfast, Xiao Ying hugged Qiuqiu and wanted to go out to play since the weather was not too hot.
"Go, go. But remember, don't dirty your clothes. Remember to come back for lunch and don't go too far.”
As it was the weekend, Xiao Ying did not need to go to Elder Long's place to study, so Xue Gang agreed to Xiao Ying's request.
Xue Gang, on the other hand, started playing the zither in the courtyard as usual after breakfast.
But today, Xue Gang seemed to be very absent-minded. In just five minutes, he had made at least three mistakes.
Realizing that he was not in the right state, Xue Gang also stopped playing. He ran to the warehouse and took out a jar of fruit juice. He lay on the bamboo chair in the courtyard and began to think while drinking.
Why did I dream about the day I transmigrated last night?
However, speaking of which, after the old man died, he had not gone to sweep his grave once.
In the beginning, it was because he had just arrived in this world and did not know how to face his nominal " grandfather ", even though he had already passed away. After that, he was busy taking care of Xiao Ying and didn't have time to go. Now, Xiao Ying didn't need to spend too much effort to care about it, but he had never thought about it.
No matter what, that old man had given him a large amount of inheritance. Although it was in the countryside. The land that he was relying on the system to grow was actually less than one-tenth of the land that he had left for him. She had never gone to help him raise funds. It really should not have happened.
These few days were the Qingming Festival. Xue Gang felt that it was better to visit the old man's grave today.
After drinking the fruit juice in his hand, Xue Gang, who was a little tipsy, sat down and decided. Perhaps it was time to see if the old man was sleeping well.
Carrying a new jar of fruit juice and a hoe, Xue Gang walked towards the mountain next to his house.
This small mountain was not very tall. It was only a head taller than the surrounding mountains. However, standing on the top of this mountain, he could see the entire Weng Cao Village.
The top of the mountain was covered with all kinds of flowers, red, purple, white, and colorful. It was very lively.
Xue Chengli's tomb was on the top of this mountain. The direction of the tombstone was facing Wengcao Village. Even before he died, he had told Xue Gang to bury himself here because he would be able to keep an eye on Weng Cao Village from now on.
However, Xue Gang was confused at that time. Elder Long was the one who did all of this. It could be said that without Elder Long, he would definitely not have been able to walk out of that period of time.
