Chapter 572 A Friendship of Life and Death
Xu Chengzong rolled his eyes at his son and said, "How hot can it be?
I've been doing farm work all my life, so this kind of weather is no problem for me."
Xu Pinyou frowned: "Dad, do you like to endure hardships? Enduring hardships can make you happy and give you a sense of accomplishment, right?"
Xu Chengzong said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am not mentally ill.
If I can live a good life, I will definitely not suffer."
Xu Pinyou nodded: "In that case, let's wait until Xiqiu arrives and go."
Xu Chengzong said coldly: "Do you know what I'm going to do?"
Xu Pinyou frowned and said, "Didn't you say you were going to get the classics?
There must be some ancient books buried in the ground. Go dig them up now."
Xu Chengzong nodded: "You are smart. I am going to dig ancient books and also to dig graves."
Dig a grave?
Xu Pinyou suddenly understood: "I know, the classics are buried in the coffin, right?"
Xu Chengzong nodded: "Yes, buried in your grandfather's coffin.
I'm going to dig a grave now.
After digging, the soil has to be covered again. If you go too late, it will be dark.
The rule here is that graves cannot be dug before the sun comes out and the ground cannot be covered after dark.
So now we have to go.”
Xu Pinyou only then realized that there was such a rule. He frowned and said, "Dad, you can't be too rigid.
It's too hot to dig graves now, and accidents could easily happen. Let's change the rules."
Xu Chengzong gradually couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and suddenly cursed: "Fuck your mother, change the rules, change the rules, when I die, are you going to dig my grave before sunrise and cover it with earth after sunset?
I raised you up, do you want to kill me?"
Xu Pinyou’s eyelids twitched after being scolded, and he cursed again. He couldn’t help it and said angrily: “According to what you said, you are already dead, how can I kill you?
What era is this now? Can we stop being superstitious?"
Xu Chengzong picked up a shovel from behind and went to hit Xu Pinyou: "You son of a bitch, I'm going to beat you to death.
You are really going to seal the ground when dark.
"I won't be able to rest in peace even in my grave." Xu Pinyou turned and ran, with Xu Chengzong chasing him with his gun held high. He chased him all the way out of the yard and stopped when he saw his son running into the street.
He picked up a bag hanging on the door, carried a shovel and walked into the field.
After walking out of the west side of Xiama Town and about two miles along the main road, I was about to turn into a small road.
I heard footsteps behind me.
Looking back, he saw his son also coming over with a shovel. He snorted angrily, "You son of a bitch, can you be more sensible in the future?
Don't talk nonsense. "
Xu Pinyou was still a little unconvinced: "Am I not right?
You are too feudal and superstitious!"
Xu Chengzong clenched the handle of the iron-green spear and glared at Xu Pinyou. At this moment, he had the urge to rush over and beat him up. After a long time of thinking, his grip on the iron-green spear slowly relaxed.
He looked at Xu Pinyou and said, “You said that not sealing the ground after dark is feudal superstition.
Then burying the dead is also superstition.
Going to the graves to burn paper on July 15th and October 1st every year is also superstitious.
If you say so, you won't have to bury me when I die.
Don’t burn incense or paper.”
This……
Xu Pinyou was stunned. He had gone to his grandfather's grave with his father to burn paper and pay tribute to him since he was a child. After going to college, he never did this again.
He never thought about not burning incense and paper.
After thinking it over carefully, he said, "It's OK to burn paper instead of incense."
Xu Chengzong once again clenched the iron-blue wooden handle, shaking with anger: "Xu Pinyou, fuck your mother!
Everyone uses the ritual of burning incense and paper to express their remembrance and grief for their loved ones.
I raised you up to this age, and when I die, you won't burn incense or paper for me.
You don’t miss it at all!”
This……
Xu Pinyou was stunned for a moment, lost in thought, and after a moment, he said with an unnatural expression: "Don't be angry.
I'll burn some incense and paper for you, okay?
If you die, I will burn incense and paper for you."
Xu Chengzong snorted coldly: "You have a conscience."
After saying that, he walked towards the path in the field.
After walking a few hundred meters, he came to a group of graves, took out candles from his bag, lit them and placed them on both sides of the graves.
Then burn incense and paper.
Finally, he knelt down and kowtowed three times, saying, "Dad, I'm sorry. Please understand me. I'm going to dig up your grave today and take the Nongmen Classics from you.
Dad, your grandson is back from the city.
He no longer works and will farm at home from now on.
The peasants did not become extinct in my hands.
The farming family has a successor."
Xu Pinyou was listening beside him with mixed feelings.
He finally understood why his father asked him to come back to farm.
It turns out that what my father has always cared about is the farming heritage.
He walked forward a few steps and knelt beside Xu Chengzong.
Xu Chengzong kowtowed three times to the grave, then stood up, picked up the iron shovel and started digging.
Xu Pinyou also kowtowed three times, stood up, picked up a shovel, and helped dig the grave.
At the entrance of Xiama Town, a car stopped, the door opened, and three young men got out.
They walked towards the village for about twenty meters.
The driver started the car, put it in first gear, and followed the three people from a distance.
The three of them walked to the door of Xu Chengzong's house and stopped.
The two people walking in front turned around and asked the third person: "Shall we do it?"
Wang Xunfei looked at the yard and said in a low voice, "Do it."
Before he could finish his words, two people rushed into the yard together.
Wang Xunfei walked slowly to the door with his hands behind his back and stopped, blocking the only exit of the yard.
After waiting for a while, I saw two men coming out of the house.
Then rushed into another house.
Then two people came out again and spread their hands towards Wang Xunfei.
Wang Xunfei frowned, and at this moment, a car stopped at the gate of the yard.
The car door opened and a person got out.
He walked to the door and saw Wang Xunfei standing there. He asked, "Hello, I'm here to see Xu Chengzong."
Wang Xunfei saw the person coming and shook his head: "No one is home."
Ye Changqing frowned: "No one?
You agreed to wait for me at home, how come no one is here?
May I ask who you are?"
Wang Xunfei smiled and said, "I'm Xu Pinyou's classmate. I came to see him for something, but I didn't expect he wasn't at home."
Ye Changqing took out his cell phone: "Don't worry, I'll call and ask."
After that, he called Xu Pinyou: "I'm here, where are you guys?"
Xu Pinyou said, "I'm at my ancestral grave. I'll send you a location. You can use the navigation to get here." Ye Changqing hung up the phone and soon received the location from Xu Pinyou. He said to Wang Xunfei, "You're looking for Xu Pinyou, right? Come with me."
Wang Xunfei smiled and said, "Thank you so much. I was just wondering where to find him. Thank you."
Ye Changqing turned on the navigation and followed the arrow's direction, heading west towards Xiama Town. As he walked, he asked Wang Xunfei, "What do you want to talk to Xu Pinyou about?"
Wang Xunfei smiled and said, “I heard Xu Pinyou is no longer working in the city.
The three of us came to have a meal with him, drink some wine, and comfort him."
Ye Changqing raised his thumbs and said, "You must be Xu Pinyou's best friends."
Wang Xunfei smiled and said, "We are more than close friends. I think we are friends for life and death."
