Chapter 1034 The Importance of Bloodline
Liu Yiwen nodded, "Okay, then I'll arrange it this way. Give me your ID card, and Chongyang's household registration booklet, and buy the plane ticket."
"Thank you, sorry for the trouble." Zhang Xiufang smiled happily.
"Sister Xiufang, you're taking care of Grandpa and the family at home, so we're not being polite to you." Liu Yiwen said with a smile, "Don't be polite to me. My eldest brother called me personally to tell me. He's going to have a big competition soon, and after that, he'll go over alone to pay his respects."
"Okay! I won't be polite with you." Zhang Xiufang said with a smile, feeling very touched.
After receiving the call, Liu Yian's comrades also came to Liu Yiwen to meet up, confirmed the time, and went there together.
Zhang Xiufang went to school to ask for leave from her class teacher. When the class teacher heard that she was going back to her hometown to pay tribute to her martyr father, he immediately agreed. During the class, he told all the students that it was because of countless heroes who risked their lives bravely that they could have the stable life they have today.
All the students stood up and applauded Xu Chongyang.
Xu Chongyang used to be very sensitive because he had no father, but he was very touched to receive everyone's recognition this time.
Liu Yiwen, along with two bodyguards, four of his elder brother's comrades-in-arms, Zhang Xiufang and Xu Chongyang, boarded a plane to Yanshi City, Shandong Province.
After a three and a half hour flight, the plane landed at the airport. We rented a car directly at the station and checked into a hotel in the city.
After settling in, it was already 6pm. We went to the hotel lobby and had a local specialty meal.
The next day, the hotel helped us rent two cars and we headed straight to Xujia Village.
First from the city, then to the county, then from the county to the town, and finally to the village.
It took from eight in the morning until eleven in the morning to reach Xujia Village.
They did not go to Xu's house, but went directly to Xu Jianguo's grave.
Zhang Xiufang saw that there were a lot of weeds on the grave and many places had collapsed. She knew that her mother-in-law and brother-in-law didn't care about the sacrifice of Xu Jianguo at all.
Zhang Xiufang's nose was slightly sore. She took her son Xu Chongyang and knelt in front of her husband's tombstone. She took the offerings from her bag and placed them in front of Xu Jianguo's tombstone. Then she said to Xu Chongyang, "Chongyang, kowtow to your father. We haven't visited him in the past few years. Tell him not to be angry with us."
Xu Chongyang still remembers that his father was tall and mighty. When he was a child, he often rode on his father's neck to play, and also often rode on his father's back like a horse.
Xu Chongyang choked up and kowtowed to his father's tombstone. "Dad, Chongyang kowtows to you. I'm sorry we haven't been back for several years. We went to live with Uncle Liu and Aunt Tang in the south, which is very far away from here. Mom had to work and take care of me, so she didn't come to pay her respects to you. When I grow up, I will come to pay my respects to you every year."
Liu Yiwen and Xu Jianguo's four comrades bowed, "Brother Xu, I'm Liu Yiwen, here to pay respects to the deceased on behalf of my elder brother Liu Yi'an. Please forgive my elder brother for not coming. He will come in person after the competition is over."
After bowing three times, Liu Yiwen and several of his comrades began to pull out the weeds on the grave.
Seeing that the soil on top was less, Liu Yiwen said to the bodyguard: "Aliang, go to the village and borrow two shovels. Since we are here, it is a good opportunity to add to Brother Jianguo's grave."
"Yes, Mr. Liu!" The bodyguard agreed and ran directly to the village on foot instead of driving.
The road was narrow and bumpy, so I couldn't drive fast. I couldn't even run as fast as he did.
Liu Yiwen and his eldest brother's four comrades not only pulled out the weeds on the grave, but also cleared the surrounding grass.
Xu Chongyang was toasting his father and inviting him to eat roast chicken.
Zhang Xiufang's eyes were red as she slowly wiped the dust off the tombstone with a handkerchief. "Jianguo, Chongyang and I are living well in the south. Jianguo was your comrade-in-arms and brother, and his family also treated Chongyang and me as family. Rest in peace in the grave."
"Although your brother is excessive, your mother is still a good person, but she has a weak character and has to rely on her son to make a living. I know you can't let go of your parents, so I send some money to the village chief every month and ask him to give it to your mother-in-law. Sometimes, I also send some money to your conscienceless brother, hoping that he will treat your mother-in-law better for your sake."
"Rest in peace. I've done everything you didn't do. We've only been husband and wife for a few years in this life, but I don't regret it. You're fine too, you don't have to wait for us. If there's a good opportunity, you should reincarnate sooner and treat yourself better in the future..."
Zhang Xiufang was crying as she spoke, her eyes red.
Although so much time has passed, the affection they had in their youth is so deep that Zhang Xiufang will never forget the handsome and kind Xu Jianguo.
Xu Chongyang also cried, "Dad, I'm doing very well in school now, and I will take care of Mom... Although Mom just said that you should reincarnate, I'm selfish and don't want to. If you reincarnate, I won't have a dad anymore. In the future, after a hundred years, when I go to the underworld, I won't be able to find you, wuwuwu..."
Zhang Xiufang's words touched the hearts of the men. Even after her sacrifice, there was still a good woman who loved Xu Jianguo, raised his children, and was filial to his mother.
But Xu Chongyang's words completely made the four veterans' eyes red with anger.
The innocent love of children makes these hidden hearts hurt a little. Children are continuation and also hope.
As long as this child exists, Xu Jianguo's bloodline exists, which is evidence that Xu Jianguo once existed in this world and was remembered.
The bodyguard arrived at the village and saw an old man carrying water at the entrance. He asked, "Uncle, do you have any shovels at home? Lend us two to bury the dead."
Seeing that they were strangers, Secretary Xu was slightly taken aback and asked, "Who are you? Whose grave are you adding to?"
The bodyguard replied: "Hello, are you adding to Xu Jianguo's grave?"
Secretary Xu suddenly realized, "It seems that you should be Jianguo's comrade-in-arms. Why don't you go to Jianguo's home?"
The bodyguard shook his head. "We are bodyguards, not Xu Jianguo's comrades, but some of us are. Please don't make it public. We will return after we have added to the grave."
Secretary Xu thought that the Xu family had gone too far, and then thought of Zhang Xiufang and Xu Chongyang who had gone far away, and he suddenly understood.
"Okay, you guys go back first. I'll carry the water home and then go over with the shovel."
The bodyguard nodded, "Thank you."
The bodyguard did not rush back, but waited more than a hundred meters outside the village.
About ten minutes later, Secretary Xu came over carrying two shovels and said, "Let's go."
From afar, we saw the place where Xu Jianguo was buried and some people were moving. Secretary Xu smiled. The fact that they could come back to pay tribute proved that they had not forgotten their roots.
The bodyguard took the shovel and walked over with it.
After a while, we finally arrived.
At this time, Zhang Xiufang and her son Xu Chongyang were burning paper money for Xu Jianguo, sobbing.
Secretary Xu was slightly taken aback when he saw Zhang Xiufang and the busy people. Zhang Xiufang must have made a fortune!
