33
Today's weather was good. It was a good day for a trip.
Xue Gang carried his things and looked at the photo on the tombstone. He had been standing there for half an hour.
Perhaps it was because he was tired of standing, Xue Gang plucked the grass on the ground and chose to sit down.
"Old man, you left on the first day I came. You left me here alone and didn't tell me anything.”
He took out two bowls from the system warehouse and poured hundreds of juices into them. He placed one bowl in front of the tombstone and held the other bowl in his hand.
"Come, cheers."
He raised his head and drank the fruit juice in his bowl. Xue Gang continued,"I heard that you like to drink. I haven't brewed the wine yet, so I only have this Hundred Fruit Juice. It's quite intoxicating. I hope you don't mind."
He poured himself another bowl of fruit juice and leaned against the tombstone. Xue Gang looked at Wengcao Village at the foot of the mountain with a misty gaze.
"You told me to take good care of Weng Grass Village, and you said that this is the responsibility and mission of the Xue family? Why don't you at least finish your sentence before you leave?"
After nagging in front of Xue Chengli's grave for nearly half an hour, the jar of Hundred Fruit Juice was empty.
After drinking a jar and a half of fruit juice in the morning, Xue Gang was a little drunk.
Shaking his body, he picked up the hoe and said,""I haven't come to see you in the past year. Look at your grave, it's full of weeds. As for me, since I'm here today, I'll help you take care of it.”
Although Xue Gang knew that the flowers in front of him were actually orchids through the system's scan, what was so important about it? No matter what it was, at this moment, in Xue Gang's eyes, it was all weeds.
Xue Gang was about to make a move when a voice stopped him.
……
Wengcao Village.
Elder Long stood in the field of the village and looked at the villagers in front of him who were carrying a lot of things. He said loudly,"Is everything ready?"
The villagers replied,"We're ready, Elder Long!"”
"Alright, then let's set off!" Elder Long waved his hand, and the group of people walked out of the village.
Passing by Mushroom Village, He Ling and the others looked at this scene curiously.
Originally, they were going to send the group of running men back today. However, after seeing the villagers move out collectively, the group of people suddenly became interested.
"Elder Long, where are you planning to go?”He Ling stood in the courtyard of the mushroom house and greeted Elder Long.
"You guys continue to walk. You all know the place. Don't move around when you get there.”
Elder Long gestured for the villagers to continue moving forward before answering He Ling's question.
"Today is Mr. Xue's first birthday celebration. We were planning to visit Mr. Xue's grave.”
He Ling and the others exchanged glances. Mr. Xue? Isn't that Xue Gang?
Elder Long seemed to have noticed their doubts and explained,""The Mr. Xue I'm talking about is Xiao Gang's grandfather, Mr. Xue Chengli.”
After clearing up the misunderstanding, He Ling was still a little puzzled. Seeing that the entire village had been mobilized, He Ling asked,"Is this Old Mr. Xue your relative? Why are all the villagers here today?”
"The Xue family has no blood relations with the village. They usually live outside the village.”Elder Long thought for a moment and said in melancholy,""But as long as the village needs it, the Xue family will definitely do their best to help the village. Especially when Old Master Xue was around. Back then, during the war, our entire village was saved by Old Mr. Xue.”
"Today is Old Master Xue's first death anniversary. Old Mr. Xue didn't like big scenes when he was alive, but now, the whole village is going to sweep his grave. He can't blame me, right?”
Elder Long waved his hand." Alright, that's enough. I'm leaving too." You guys can play by yourselves today."
The live broadcast room had already exploded into a pot of porridge. Everyone was urging the group of people to keep up with the villagers.
"Why don't we follow them and take a look?”He Ling looked at the restless crowd and voiced out their thoughts.
"We can follow them, but we have to prepare this thing.”Huang Lei was the most thoughtful. They were all going to sweep the graves. If they followed them empty-handed and watched them sweep the graves, it would not be polite.
She took two pieces of bacon from the kitchen, gritted her teeth, and asked the director for two bottles of wine.
However, unexpectedly, after knowing their intention of taking the wine, the director team did not ask them for money this time.
After preparing everything, he picked up Xiao Ying, who had come to play with Zhang Zifeng, and followed behind the villagers.
"Old sir, why is Old Master Xue's tomb built on a mountain?”
Chen Chichi looked at the direction they were heading in and was a little puzzled. He knew how to read feng shui. Although he only knew a little about it, this mountain was obviously not the best wind and water level in the village. If what Elder Long said was true, why did he bury Old Master Xue here?
Elder Long also sighed a little." This is Old Master Xue's own wish."”
"When he was on his deathbed, he said that he wanted to bury himself in this position. Because he could see the entire village from here. Even before he died, he only wanted to make the entire village better.”
The group of people fell silent. Although they could imagine this kind of emotion, they more or less could not understand it. In today's society, people's hearts were wavering. Everyone was only doing it for themselves. They really couldn't learn to think about everyone before they died.
He walked silently to the top of the mountain. The villagers saw a man sitting in front of Old Master Xue's grave. He was leaning against the tombstone and drinking a jar of liquid in his hand.
If this person wasn't Xue Gang, who else could it be?
Elder Long smiled when he saw that it was Xue Gang. She didn't expect him to remember her grandfather's death anniversary.
Putting the empty jar on the ground, Xue Gang stood up and picked up the hoe to start weeding.
Elder Long hurriedly stopped him.
"Xue Gang, wait!"
Although he had drunk a little too much fruit juice and was a little drunk, at least he was still conscious.
"Elder Long?" Xue Gang looked around. Elder Long was not the only one around. There seemed to be a lot of people.
"What…are you doing here?”After drinking so much Hundred Fruit Juice, even Xue Gang's body was more or less unable to withstand it. Looking at the shadowy figure in front of him, Xue Gang asked with his tongue hanging out.
Elder Long carefully took the head from Xue Gang's hands and explained,""Today is the anniversary of your grandfather's death. We're here to sweep his grave.”
Holding his head and looking at the flowers around him, Elder Long's voice was filled with joy.""Fortunately, I came early. The orchids planted around here are all your grandfather's favorite orchids. You can't do anything rash."
