There are paddy fields everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. It rained just two days ago, and the dirt road to the village was full of potholes and raised a piece of sewage carelessly.

Zhang Guoqing honked his horn and controlled the speed of the car. He drove for about ten minutes less than 1000 meters. It didn't stop until we got to the village bridge.

Over this stone bridge is the hometown of Mr. Jiang.

At this time, the sun is setting, many people on the ground are busy farming, and many children are swimming and fishing in the river on both sides of the bridge.

See a military vehicle stop, all stop to look at them.

Zhang Guoqing got out of the car and waved to the children on the bank. After a long time, finally a seven or eight year old boy came forward, naked and barefoot.

"Children, do you know where the old man of Jiangtong lock from the city lives?"

Hearing this, the little guy nodded and called out to the friends nearby: "it's the relatives of the grandfather of the village's Dongkou."

All of a sudden, a group of children ran to the car and asked questions in Mandarin and local dialect.

Under the chatter, Zhang Guoqing can only roughly understand, these children asked whether they are from the capital? Or wait until they arrive for the ceremony.

At this time, a thin and short old man in his sixties came to the bridge. Before asking, he called out in dialect, "are you the grandson of the old Jiang family? Come on, I'll be waiting for you. "

This meeting Zhang Guoqing understood, let them go quickly, let Aunt Chen hold Ping'an, he and Yi Jiefang two people carrying luggage to the bridge head.

The old man, with his hands on his back, walked quickly in front of him to lead the way, followed by Zhang Guoqing, and asked as he walked. It soon turned out that they didn't understand much of the local language.

He had to ask in Mandarin with accent: "that old man is very stubborn. My brother and sister are getting worse and worse every day. I will ask him to write to his granddaughter. He must say that the child is too busy and doesn't want you to go back and forth. By the way, where are the girls of the Jiang family? "

Zhang Guoqing explained: "my daughter-in-law was sent to work by the leadership, and she couldn't be contacted for a moment. I have to bring my child first. This is my son. "

"No wonder the old man praises his granddaughter every day. Good, promising, good. Our village has finally produced talents. See the locust tree in front of you? That's the place. I think your family is doing well. If you ask him to build a better house, he won't. He has to have the whole thatched house. Alas... "

Zhang Guoqing looked at the three thatched earth embryo rooms not far away. He was really angry and anxious. This old man is a real troublemaker! As far as he knows, even his father-in-law has been sending money to them, not to mention their annual wages.

I don't know what to do with the money?

"Old man, is there any empty yard in the village to sell?"

"No. A few years ago, after joining the team, several villages all lived in one piece of land. Don't spend that unjust money, find a few people to entertain a few meals, and it will be finished soon. "

After that, the old man looked at Zhang Guoqing's hesitant face and then said, "are you worried that you don't have time? Go to the captain and give him the money. He will arrange it

He nodded on national day. This time, only the old man is left. He still has to deal with the following matters. I don't know if there are orphans around here. He really has to consult the captain.

The three thatched earth embryo rooms under the Dahui tree were enclosed in a small yard with bamboo fence. At this time, several middle-aged and old people were helping in and out.

Zhang Guoqing took Ping'an from Aunt Chen and put on his little white shirt, green yarn, white shoes and filial piety belt. When tied up, they also deliberately let the length of the two hanging ends be the same.

He was able to make his son filial, but also for Zhou Jiao to thank the two old people, but also want to like his father-in-law said, let the childless old people not go too miserable.

When Zhang Guoqing put on his white shirt and shoes, tied up his filial piety belt, and pinned black yarn and red cloth on his arm, the old man Jiang, who heard the news, burst into tears.

He has a descendant, too!

"Grandfather..." Zhang Guoqing came forward to support him, but he was short of words. He couldn't say a lot of consolation. It is half the sky for the old man to leave his wife who is dependent on each other.

He waved to the little Ping'an around him, "son, call granddad quickly. We'll stick incense to grandma Tai for your mother

Mr. Jiang squatted down and looked at the child kindly. Listening to the loud voice of the child, he complained to Zhang Guoqing: "how can the boss take the child far away? Take little girl to the house

Ping An took his hand and said, "granddad, I'll go with you. My grandfather wants you to be sad. He said that he and my mother can't come on business now, so let me represent them. "

"Well How can we speak so well. Are you tired on the way? Hot or not? Do you have anything to eat... "

Zhang Guoqing was relieved to see the old man recover a lot of spirit. Fortunately, this time he came to take the child. At the critical time, his son was able to do it.

Watching them go in, Zhang Guoqing asked Aunt Chen to take care of them. He came to a table and looked at a middle-aged man curiously and said, "uncle, it's hard for you. Thank you for coming to help."

The middle-aged man quickly waved his hand, "yes. We are your grandfather's distant nephews. ""Then I should call uncle. Uncle, I'm not polite to you. Just call me little five. You can tell me what to do next

Hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly restrained his smile and said, "you have to deal with a lot of things next. The spirit hall has been set up. Nowadays, Taoists are not welcome to come here to recite scriptures, but the paper money still needs to be paid. Take a look. This is the village's human relations, and what the family has prepared, all in this book. "

Zhang Guoqing is not polite, take a look. Found that in addition to human relations, the preparation of things are very small, and then look at the side of the amount of brown sugar is not much.

He learned from Huang Dong that no matter how simple the ceremony is. To guests to drink a bowl of brown sugar water and eat tofu rice, these are necessary.

After seeing these things, Zhang Guoqing whispered to him, "I'll go inside to see my grandmother, and I'll have to trouble you to remember what you lack. I'll be ready."

"There are many younger people of the same surname in the village. They recite the kindness of your grandmother and want to give her filial piety. They will come soon after work in the evening. You can ask them for help. "

Zhang Guoqing picked his eyebrows when he heard the speech - he didn't ask about any kindness. Yi Jiefang took the white cloth and the black yarn from Yi Jiefang's hand and put them on the table. Then he took out from his pocket fifty catties of national grain coupons and fifty yuan.

"Let me have the money ticket first. It doesn't matter. You can't pay it back. This white cloth is wonderful. It doesn't need so much. They will prepare for themselves. "

Zhang Guoqing shook his head. "It should be. I'll go first. "

There is no reason for outsiders to wear filial piety. They are still reluctant to give up some cloth when they are the masters. He knows that cloth is rare nowadays. Maybe some people like these white cloth strips and come here specially to wear filial piety and change them into home-made cloth, but he doesn't care.

If a particular family can't even ask for mourning cloth, they will be in bad luck. That is, in this year, who is willing to fight for filial piety. It's not a big deal that old people may be buried in dignity.

When Zhang Guoqing went in, Ping an already kowtowed three times to the old lady's body under the guidance of Aunt Chen, and used Changxiang. He went in immediately to draw a picture.

After everything, Zhang Guoqing asked Yi Jiefang to drive to see his mother-in-law and bring some brown sugar and some missing things. He saw this situation. Before going up the mountain tomorrow, they would be inseparable from the village.

Seeing Yi Jiefang off, he arranged for Aunt Chen to take care of the old man and his son. Zhang Guoqing began to arrange the funeral with the uncle who lived far away.
