Chapter 108 Visiting the Grave
"Why not?" Guo Xin was stumped by this nonsensical question.
When the sturdy man heard this, he looked at the people around him and said with a smile, "Isn't it said in the village that your family has found your biological grandparents? They are very noble and worried that you will go back to enjoy your life and don't want to care about these trivial matters in Guojia Village anymore."
In the distance, Liu Zuo came running over breathlessly, saying, "You, you, you guys, haven't I explained this to you guys many times? Why are you still running here to block Sister Guo Xin's way back to the village to worship?"
After that, he adjusted himself and said to Guo Xin, "Sister Guo Xin, I'm really sorry to have you worry about the workshop. I don't know why a rumor started in the village yesterday that you found your grandparents in Beijing and you're going to follow them back to Beijing and won't be involved in the affairs of Guojia Village anymore."
"The villagers didn't care whether it was true or not. They panicked when they heard it. They were worried that their hard-working days would be gone, so they went on strike and said they would go talk to you. No matter how hard we tried, they just didn't believe it."
"If you didn't keep an eye on them for a moment, these people would sneak out and block you."
Hearing this, Guo Xin blinked and said, "My fellow villagers, have I always been so scornful of the poor and infatuated with the rich during all these years in the village? The village workshop, the wine shop in the county town, and the hot pot restaurant in the prefecture city were all built by my family of Guo Xin through hard work. It is impossible for me to give up these things just because I have recognized my relationship with them."
"And I know how many people these shops support. Take our Guojia Village for example. Although I rarely live in the village now, I know that many aunts and uncles in our village who used to live in poverty can now have enough to eat by working as assistants in the workshops."
"Uncles who originally had to leave their hometown to find a living can now meet their families every day in the village with the workshop, instead of being separated from them for ten days or half a month."
"So I won't give up these things, and I didn't say I wanted to go back to Beijing. Our Guojia Village is beautiful with mountains and rivers. Why should I leave?" Guo Xin joked at last.
The woman at the side asked, "Are you really not going to the capital?"
"Of course it's true."
The sturdy man in the lead looked at the old man who stuck his head out from behind and said, "Those behind are Xin'er's grandparents. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. It's our fault."
He Xiangan saw that the clothes the sturdy man was wearing were covered with countless patches. He shook his head, smiled at the sturdy man, and lowered the curtain.
Seeing that the He family couple didn't seem to want to pursue the matter, the strong man shouted, "Then I'll take you to Guo Xin's father's grave!"
As he said this, he led the people behind him and walked towards the mountain of the village. Liu Zuo followed them, muttering something constantly.
……
The mountain road was difficult to travel on and the carriage could not go up, so the He couple got off the carriage long ago and slowly climbed to the middle of the mountain with the help of the four people from the Guo family.
Two small mounds of earth could be seen from a distance. They were stacked neatly. In the middle in front of them stood a stone tablet. That was the grave of Guo Xin's parents.
The He couple, who had been suppressing their longing for their son, could no longer hold back and rushed forward, hugged the stone tablet, and burst into tears.
He kept saying, "Chengde, my parents came too late. If I had come earlier, you wouldn't be in this pile of dirt..."
Guo Ruo and his brothers and sisters were also very silent, simply because their parents had passed away more than half a year ago. No matter how sad they were, they could not cry. The four of them burned paper money silently.
A piece of paper money was thrown into the fire. It floated up with the wind and would not fall to the ground. It floated to somewhere unknown down the mountain.
When the strong men and aunts who led the way saw this situation, they suddenly woke up from their dreams. No matter how rich Guo Xin's family was, they were not really from Guojia Village.
I have grown up in Guojia Village for so many years and have more or less a lot of feelings with them. What were they doing just now?
He instigated the villagers of the entire workshop to go on strike and came to the village entrance to block Guo Xin and his group. It seemed that they were not treating their parents but rather their enemies.
Thinking of this, everyone lowered their heads in shame, looked at each other, and quietly went down the mountain. They still had to busy themselves with the work in the workshop. Maybe Guo Xin would come to visit soon, so they had to restore things to their previous state before she came.
Guo Xin and the others had been staring at the two graves in a daze and did not notice the group of people leaving.
The small grave was separated by a huge boundary. Guo Xin was lost in thought. She began to doubt her previous feelings. Didn’t she have a premonition at that time that she would soon meet her parents from her previous life? How come she still hasn’t seen them until now?
Instead, we found the original owner’s grandparents first, which is really a wonderful thing.
In her previous life, she never believed in things like past lives, present lives, or time travel. It was only when this happened to her that she felt everything was possible.
She has always hoped that her parents would travel to this world as well, so that she could enjoy a few decades of happy and stable life without having to worry about the end of the world.
After an unknown amount of time, the He family couple seemed to be tired of crying, and said in a hoarse voice: "Let's go to your place in the village and stay there first."
Guo Xin nodded, and the four of them hurried forward to support him.
She looked at the road under her feet, and the longing for her parents in her previous life hid in a corner of her heart. Now there was another important matter. Since she rarely went back to Guojia Village, as the source of supply for the restaurant, she had to inspect it carefully. Otherwise, if there was any problem with the workshop, would she be able to do business in the future?
After getting down the mountain, Guo Xin explained a few words to Guo Ruo and the others, then walked in the opposite direction.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw the lame Aunt Guo sitting at the door, as if waiting for her.
Guo Xin smiled and said, "Aunt, I'm here to see you."
"Xin'er, you're finally here. At that time, you said that you would let Liu Zuo directly manage this workshop, and I was worried that he wouldn't be able to manage it. Look, now this workshop is much more organized than when I was in charge."
After a pause, he continued, "Liu Zuo is not to blame for what happened today. You also know what kind of character the villagers have. Even if the head of the village came, he would have to talk his mouth off before these people would give him some face."
Guo Xin smiled and said, "It's okay. We've already talked about this matter. I just came to see if there is anything that needs to be improved in the workshop."
Aunt Guo was actually speaking for Liu Zuo. It seemed that Liu Zuo was very popular in the workshop, and even the aunt who was managing the workshop was convinced.
Guo Xin walked in. The workshop was not as she had imagined, with people scattered in various corners, chatting and working. Instead, they were very organized, wearing the same style of hats and clothes she had made for the restaurant, and doing their work very quietly.
She nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that this Liu family member was indeed a talented person with great potential.
