mountain farmer

Chapter 974
(Thanks to my friends Xiuming, Luanzai, Heiyasaw, and Demon Monthly Pass for their encouragement)
The third grandpa is gone. It would be nonsense to say that Lao Liu felt the heart-piercing pain of losing a loved one.But his mood is now the same as Xiao Lele's, "unhappy".

In the past, I basically had no contact with the third grandfather, that is, I knew that there was such a person.It was after he returned to the village that this contact increased.

I used to think that the third grandfather was an old man with a withdrawn personality, but after getting in touch with him, I realized the indelible sadness in the old man's heart.

I had a little kindness in myself, and I didn't want the old man to live in such a lonely life, so I found him a shift job.At that time, I didn't think much about it, but the old man gave me a lot in return.

When I was playing, I would come out four or five times every night to watch.When worshiping the mountain god, they also pick up the auspicious words they know.The old man is thanking himself, but the old man has no other abilities, so he can only do these things within his power.

Maybe at the old man's age, people look down on everything and take it lightly.He used to always talk about it, but now that he is content with his life, no matter when King Yan comes to him, he will have no regrets.

Maybe the old man also had his own premonition, so he came to the top of the mountain today.Under the old man's feet is Lijiagou, which is also the place where the old man has lived all his life.

"Father, is Grandpa Third asleep?"

Liu Fugui was still thinking about it, and Xiao Lele came to his side.

"Well, the third great-grandfather has gone to enjoy the blessings. In the future, there will be a large group of white-bearded old men and old ladies chatting with the third great-grandfather." Old Liu touched the little guy's head and said.

The little guy thought about it carefully, and he still didn't understand Liu Fugui's words.

Liu Fugui sighed inwardly, the little guy still doesn't know what parting between life and death is.But after the funeral is sorted out, there should be some feelings.

Liu Fugui took Xiao Lele to the other side, took out his cell phone, found Li Fengjiu's number, and dialed it.

"Fugui, it's all over now, don't you want me to have a drink?" Li Fengjiu joked sleepily after the call was connected.

"Brother Feng Jiu, the third grandpa is gone, he is walking on the top of the mountain, let's recruit people." Liu Fugui said softly.

Li Fengjiu on the other side of the phone fell silent, and only after a while did he utter the word "yes".

Liu Fugui hugged Xiao Lele into his arms, watching the lights of Lijiagou under the mountain slowly turn on.People from every household also rushed to the top of the mountain with their flashlights, and they formed a long dragon in a short while.

"Old man, it's a happy event, I didn't suffer, and I went directly to enjoy the blessings. The big guys also miss you, and they all come to see you off." Liu Fugui said softly.

If the Third Grandfather hadn't accepted Li Fengjiu, he would have directly discussed the Third Grandfather's funeral.But not now, Li Fengjiu has to arrange these things now.

After waiting for a while, Li Fengjiu led people over from below.When he got here, he first knelt down and kowtowed three times to the body of the third grandfather.

"Brother Fengjiu, my condolences. The old man left in the middle of the night, and the time is a bit uncertain." Liu Fugui came to Li Fengjiu and said.

Li Fengjiu nodded, "Then today is the second day, Fugui, I want to carry the old man down the mountain, will it work?"

"Success, the big guys are protecting you." Liu Fugui said.

The old man is thin and doesn't have much flesh on his body.Liu Fugui hugged the old man's body and put it on Li Fengjiu's back.The big guys just surrounded each other and walked down the mountain together.

No one said any more words of comfort, and everything they said was nonsense.The only thing I can know is that the old man walked away peacefully and did not suffer any crimes.

Even if some people used to think that the Third Grandfather sometimes talked about it, they still choose to believe it now.After all, not everyone can predict their own death.

Today, the third grandpa wore a new suit of clothes and new shoes, so as not to cause trouble for everyone, and he didn't even need to prepare a shroud.

Don't look at Li Fengjiu who is usually a little muddy, but he is also a person who values ​​affection.The third grandfather accepted him as his successor, so he treated the third grandfather as his father.

He built a shed and placed planks in the yard of his house, and the funeral will be held tomorrow, so the time is still a little tight.

"Old brother, this is going to enjoy the blessing in advance."

After getting the news, Mr. Chen, who also drove down from the mountain, said.

"Yeah, the third grandpa is really enjoying himself. When I arrived, my eyes were closed and I had a good expression." Liu Fugui nodded.

"Fugui, I found this from the old man's pocket."

At this time, Li Fengjiu came over, holding a neatly folded piece of paper in his hand.

Liu Fugui opened it, and this may be the third grandfather's suicide note.Although the handwriting is not very good-looking, it should be written by the old man himself.

"I really admire the old man, everything is taken care of clearly. Cremation, burial on the mountain, there is a passbook and some small change under the old man's bed. Except for funeral affairs, the rest is given to Feng Jiu. There is the old man's original house."

After Liu Fugui finished reading, he frowned and said with a grin.

In fact, when Li Fengjiu brought the paper over, he recognized it. This paper was the paper in Lele's exercise book.In the suicide note of the third grandfather, there are many words, which are still in pinyin.I guess the old man didn't want to disturb everyone, so he asked Xiao Lele for advice.

The old man wrote a lot and explained in great detail.I really don't want to cause trouble to everyone because of my death.Special instructions, not to wear mourning for him.

He wanted to read it all to the big guy, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say it.After finishing these few words, he stuffed this piece of paper into Li Fengjiu's hand.

He is a witness, witnessing the suicide note of the third grandfather, and that is enough.

Even he didn't know that the old man had been preparing for so long.With so many words, with Xiao Lele's knowledge alone, how could he teach them all at once.Moreover, the old man's words are scattered, which must have been written for a long time.At the very least, it takes half a month to prepare.

And in such a long time, I have seen the third grandfather several times, but I didn't notice it at all.Lele is a blessed child. According to the rural folklore, Lele is the only one who has done his filial piety to the Third Grandfather.Because during this time, Xiao Lele was the one who stayed with the old man the longest.

Li Fengjiu also saw the above content clearly, and glanced at Lele who was staying with Liu Changshun and Wang Fengru on the other side.The little guy now also has red eyes, holding Wang Fengru's hand and leaning aside.

Li Fengjiu wiped away tears, "Wealthy, just follow what the old man said? Will it work?"

Liu Fugui nodded, "I'll take care of the food, and you can take care of the rest. If the old man wants to make it a happy event, then let's do it."

"Originally, I thought that since the old man had such a heart, he would bury the old man's ashes next to the tree on the top of the mountain. After thinking about it, it was windy up there, so that the old man would not have to blow it. When Master Wei comes over tomorrow, Let him find a good place for the old man on the mountain."

"Thank you." Li Fengjiu bowed to Liu Fugui.

Liu Fugui hurriedly turned sideways, "Don't thank me, this is what the old man deserves. I'm thinking about our Lijiagou, so I have to let the old man watch it for us."

Li Fengjiu went to Zhang Luo, and Liu Fugui also contacted the tofu house.For ordinary things, there must be a tofu dish every day, why this is so, Lao Liu doesn't know.

The meals are arranged here, anyway, it is the meal at dawn.Liu Fugui had nothing else to do, so he moved to Xiao Lele's side.

"Lele, did you teach the third grandpa how to write?" Liu Fugui asked.

The little guy nodded, "Father, why is Third Grandpa lying here to sleep?"

"Grandpa Third, he passed away and enjoyed a happy life. So don't be sad for Lele, Lele has been playing with Grandpa Third for so long." Liu Fugui hugged the little guy in his arms and said.

"Father, why is Lele so upset?" the little guy asked a little confused.

"Father is also upset, because he won't be able to chat with the third great-grandfather in the future." Liu Fugui said.

"Lele, let's keep the third grandpa in our hearts. When we have time in the future, we will think about how we used to play with the third grandpa, and then the third grandpa will know."

Xiao Lele nodded obediently.

"Mom, take Lele and go back first. Tell Da Ya not to worry about this place, just come and pay your respects after dawn." Liu Fugui stood up and said.

"Okay, let's take Lele back now. If there's anything going on here, you can help me with some snacks. The old man's life is not easy, but he's enjoying a blessing, so he's leaving." Wang Fengru said.

"Mom, don't worry, I didn't treat the old man as an outsider at all. If the old man had something to say, I would have to follow Dai Xiao." Liu Fugui said.

"I'll stay here with Brother Feng Jiu tonight. By the way, have you been notified of safety? I'm so busy, I forgot about it."

"It's notified, not only Ping An, but Xiao Guo, Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Han have all sent letters. When I usually come to play, I have a good chat with the old man. Let them come to see the old man for a ride." Liu Changguo said.

"That's fine, it's too sudden, and I'm in a bit of a mess." Liu Fugui nodded.

After finishing speaking, he remembered the old man's suicide note.The old man's idea is to keep everything simple and not cause trouble to everyone.But how can the big guy have the heart to let the old man go away so alone, and spend the remaining two days with the old man well.

Although I also know that this is useless, the old man has long been from another world.But in my heart, it can be more or less relieved.

It's also a little regretful that the old man didn't live until the autumn harvest.It was originally planned to pay homage to Grandpa Mountain God after this year's autumn harvest, to thank Grandpa Mountain God for his care this year.
