Chapter One Hundred and Thirty One: Being Put Together
"Okay, everyone, after eating the Jiang family's meal, you also want to help. They are going home to pay homage today, so everyone is interested."
After the meal was finished, the wise old man in the village shouted to help.
Everyone happily agreed, "This is what we should do. Speaking of which, we should also pay our respects to Mr. Jiang. The Jiang family is a good family. The bridge on the Yangliu Bank was built by Grandpa Jiang Ge."
"Everyone go back and make preparations. Those who need to offer sacrifices will bring sacrifices, and those who help clean up the graves will get a hoe."
The group of people shouted, and the big guys also started to move. They went home to get incense, candles, paper money, and dozens of people followed Jiang Ge to visit the grave. It was quite lively.
As the saying goes, don't forget the man who dug the well when you are drinking water. Rural people hold grudges and are unambiguous in repaying kindness. However, Jiang Ge attracted dozens of people to kowtow to his grandfather during one meal. He felt it was worth it.
After walking along the river for about ten minutes, Jiang Ge and his party stopped at the foot of a mountain.
There are only a few sparse graves on the mountainside. This was after Jiang Ge buried his grandfather on the mountainside. The villagers thought the feng shui was good, so they built several graves one after another.
The most conspicuous and solemn tomb among them is that of Grandpa Jiang Ge.
All are made of marble, and the tombstone is one foot long, with life events engraved on it.
These days, I actually don’t pay much attention to things that are too superstitious.
"Old brother, long time no see!"
When Mr. Yu saw this tomb, his eyes became moist. He knelt down on the ground regardless of his children's obstruction. Seeing this, Jiang Ge and others also knelt down.
"Why sleep for a long time during your lifetime? You will definitely sleep forever after you die. I have taken a dim view of all grudges over the past few years. You are a person after all. Although you have failed, you still live in my heart."
"Come, burn some incense, and serve me good wine and good food for my brother." He shouted angrily, as if venting some emotion.
The people at the back quickly placed the chickens, ducks, fish and other sacrifices that had been prepared long ago, and surrounded the grave with incense, candles, paper money and so on.
The people accompanying him also began to offer their own sacrifices, and some children began to kowtow directly.
"Thunderbolt party!" As bursts of firecrackers sounded, the Jiang family bowed three times to the grave, each making wishes for blessings from their ancestors.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I broke the promise I made to you. I don't know whether this is right or wrong, but I will never follow in your footsteps."
"A dragon is a dragon, and a horse is a horse. I don't believe that I can only be a low-class person. Just watch and I will live a good life."
Jiang Ge was in a very complicated mood at the moment. He had broken the vow he made to his grandfather in exchange for today's achievements. His heart had always been tense, but now he felt relieved when he looked directly at his grandfather's grave.
If you are happy in life, you must have all the fun, no matter how floods flood the sky.
In order to strive to be a master, there is no harm in hanging his life on his belt, besides, ordinary people cannot take his life away.
"Baby girl, kowtow to grandpa quickly and let him bless you."
Jiang Ge quickly warned her daughter, and Jiang Ling nodded seriously and kowtowed in a decent manner.
When the worship ceremony was about to begin, a woman led a dull-looking young man over, holding some sacrifices in her hand.
"Jiang Ge, this is your fourth uncle's house. That young man is the Jiang Huaqing I mentioned. It is said that your grandfather gave him this name. The meaning is that he aspires to Qinghua and Peking University, but he was admitted to the school.
I don’t think I’ll die!”
Jiang Quan gently pulled Jiang Ge, and Jiang Ge turned around and saw a lonely mother and son standing at the back. They were dressed simply, looked timid, and were out of tune with the people around them.
"This is the fourth aunt. Are you here to pay homage to grandpa? Don't stand there. I'm Jiang Ge, don't you recognize me?"
Jiang Ge quickly stood up. He knew this woman. He had met her several times when he was a child. At that time, his grandfather was very powerful and his fourth uncle's family was doing well. He got a job as a truck driver in a jewelry company and could earn ten dollars a year.
Come to ten thousand.
The two couples were illiterate and honest, and they begged their grandfather to give them an auspicious name for their son. Jiang Daolong saw that they were eager to have a successful son, so they named him Jiang Huaqing. Jiang Ge also heard his grandfather mention this, but he had long forgotten it.
I didn't expect to see such a scene again. Time is not forgiving, it is difficult for the poor to stand up, and many parents are just wishful thinking.
"Come, Hua Qing, kowtow to Grandpa Jiang quickly and ask for blessings. I will offer incense to Grandpa."
The woman then pulled her son over and pushed her son, who looked helpless, down to his knees.
"Oh, kowtow, I can do it... I kowtow to grandpa!"
Like a fool, Jiang Huaqing was very obedient. He kowtowed when he was told to do so. He kowtowed loudly and his forehead bled instantly when he hit the stone, as if he didn't know it.
Everyone laughed loudly, "This fool, if you ask him to kowtow, he will use it as an iron to kowtow. It's really funny."
Jiang Huaqing's mother didn't stop her, she just wiped her tears beside her.
"Okay, that's enough!"
Jiang Ge stared around and everyone quickly shut up.
He hurriedly stepped forward and helped Jiang Huaqing up, feeling suddenly touched in his heart, "Fourth Aunt, you must have something to say to me. Let's talk to the side."
Jiang Ge was the best at observing words and expressions. He knew he had something to say just by looking at the woman's expression, and he didn't stop her son from bleeding. He must have a purpose.
So he took the lead and walked aside without asking directly, "How is your fourth uncle's health these days?"
"Your fourth uncle has been missing for almost a year. It is said that he went to work abroad to raise money for his son's medical expenses, but there was no news after he left."
"Some said he was abducted by human traffickers, while others said he found someone abroad and had no intention of coming back."
At this time, Jiang Quan also came over and sighed.
Hearing this, Jiang Ge sympathized with this woman even more. It was already very rare not to remarry.
So he said, "Fourth Aunt, if you are short of medical expenses, I can help. I can also help find out about Fourth Uncle's situation."
After hearing this, the fourth aunt just shook her head and said, "None of this matters anymore. Hua Qing's illness is a heart disease and it cannot be cured. I want you to take him for a walk in the city and see more people and people."
Maybe things will be fine."
"That's a good idea!"
Jiang Ge nodded, usually mental problems are caused by self-awareness, and it is possible to cure them as long as you open your mind.
Jiang Huaqing is said to be a relative, and the name was given by his grandfather himself, so he still needs to help if he can.
It's just that it's troublesome to have such a mentally disturbed person around, but Jiang Ge doesn't plan to take care of it himself. Asking a doctor to take care of him will solve the problem.
So I agreed.
The fourth aunt seemed very happy when she heard that he agreed, so she pulled Jiang Huaqing and left.
"By the way, why didn't I see their family when I was having a treat at noon today?" Jiang Ge was a little confused and asked Jiang Quan.
"They were afraid of embarrassing their families on such an occasion, so we tried to persuade them several times but were unwilling to come. Later, we brought them a few plates of food," Jiang Quan said.
"Hey, he is such a man of character, no wonder he can produce a top student." Jiang Ge sighed, but he did not expect that things would develop beyond his expectation.
Early the next morning, Jiang Quanlai told him that his fourth aunt was dead and had taken sleeping pills. It turned out that she had cancer a long time ago and had been enduring the pain to save money. She also left a note of 130,000 yuan for his son under the pillow.
Passbook.
Jiang Ge was stunned immediately!
This posed a problem for him. As soon as he agreed to help, the other party completely passed the blame. This was really a prudent calculation.
Human heart, calculation, or helpless relief, it doesn't matter anymore.
"Forget it, let's bury her alive and let her go in glory. She was a great mother. I'll pay for all the expenses."
Although he felt like he had been exposed, Jiang Ge couldn't feel any resentment in his heart.
