Chapter 007: Let Me Be the Village Chief?
Yi Xiaobin and the three of them walked to the halfway point of the back mountain, where a vacant land was artificially reclaimed, and this was the cemetery of Yi Xiaobin's father, Yi Wensheng.
The shape of a cemetery was simply trimmed, and there was no tombstone, only a wooden board carved by hand with "Yi Wensheng's Tomb" stood in front of the tomb, and the whole tomb looked very simple, at this time the whole tomb was overgrown with weeds, and it was obvious that no one had come to clean it for a long time.
Looking at his father's grave, Yi Xiaobin couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, he couldn't be filial when he was alive, and he couldn't let his father live in a good place when he died.
"Xiaobin, don't think about it, now that you're back, I think your father can also look at it, while it's still early, let's tidy it up together." Uncle Niu patted Yi Xiaobin's shoulder and said softly.
The whole cemetery was not very big, and the three of them worked together to tidy up the entire cemetery in a short time, and the weeds on the grave were also cleaned up, and then Erdan took out the worship items he brought.
"Come, Xiaobin, put incense on your father. ”
Yi Xiaobin took the three-pillar incense handed by Uncle Niu and walked to his father's grave, and with a bang, Yi Xiaobin knelt on his knees, "Father, the unfilial son Xiaobin is back and has come to see you." After speaking, Yi Xiaobin kowtowed deeply to his father.
"Brother, Xiaobin is back, you should be able to look at it now, God is so unfair to you. Uncle Niu on the side couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Uncle Niu, don't be sad, I don't think my father wants to see us like this. Yi Xiaobin stood up and said comfortingly.
"Come on, Erdan, burn this paper money to Uncle Wensheng, so that he doesn't have to worry about spending money below. Uncle Niu commanded, Yi Xiaobin originally wanted to help, but Uncle Niu stopped him.
Uncle Niu looked at Yi Xiaobin with a serious face, and then sighed and said: "Xiaobin, you are back now, Uncle Niu has always had one thing in his heart, I hope you can complete it for your uncle." ”
"Uncle Niu, if you have anything, just say it directly, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not postpone it. ”
"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words, you also know that your father was the village chief of our Yijia Village when he was there, and after he left, the position of the village chief fell to me, and now I'm old and can't do it anymore, so I want to give you the position of village chief, what do you think?"
"Uh... Uncle Niu, isn't this good, and isn't this village chief to be elected by the villagers? Besides, there are so many elders in the village, where can I get my turn? Yi Xiaobin waved his hand and said.
"Hey, those people in the village are no longer good, they don't have anything to do now as long as they can eat enough, but I don't want to watch our Yijia Village go on like this, and some young people in the village have no ideas, they only know how to go to the ground all day long, so how can they keep up with the society." ”
Yi Xiaobin was a little surprised by what Uncle Niu said, Uncle Niu, who is nested in the mountain village, also knows that he has to follow the footsteps of the society, but Uncle Niu is right after all, there is indeed no future in this mountain village all the time.
"Don't be so surprised, although I have always lived in this mountain village, I still know some things outside, how about it?
"Hehe, I don't think Uncle Niu, what you really mean is that you want me to be the village head, do you want me to take the young people in the village out for a walk?" Yi Xiaobin said with a smile.
"Hehe, it's okay to say that, but the village chief is still you, I still want to see the day when our Yijia Village will prosper in my lifetime, and this has always been your father's wish. ”
was said by Uncle Niu, Yi Xiaobin was embarrassed to refuse, after all, if it was really his father's wish, then he would definitely help him as a son, even if it wasn't, Uncle Niu treated himself well, and he should help.
"Okay, then I'll agree, but I can't guarantee if I do it well. ”
"I'm relieved to have your kid's words, I believe you can do it. Hearing that Yi Xiaobin agreed to his request, Uncle Niu laughed and walked to the grave to burn paper money for Yi Xiaobin's father.
"Brother Xiaobin, my father is like this, don't mind. At this time, Erdan came to Yi Xiaobin's side from the side and whispered.
"Hehe, it's okay, by the way, Erdan, why haven't you thought about going out all these years?" Putting his arm on Erdan's shoulder, Yi Xiaobin asked out loud, after all, the two grew up together since childhood, so they should have a good chat.
"I didn't want to go out, I originally found a place in the city and set up a barbecue stall, and the business was not bad, but for some reasons, the business could not be done during this time. ”
"Oh, I can't see that you kid still has a business mind, is something wrong?"
"It's nothing, it's just that some local hooligans want to ask me for protection money, and if I don't give it, they won't let me do business, in fact, they are not mainly here to collect money, but to ask for my father's prescription. ”
"Uh... Oh, I see, it's rumored that your dad has a whitening prescription, I think it came from your kid, right?"
"Well, that's right, it's true that it flows out of me, we have a lot of game here, and my father's prescription will be better if it is accompanied by game, and my father's barbecue skills are also good, and I have learned a lot, so I went to the city to open a barbecue stall, but now the business can't be done." Erdan said helplessly.
"It's okay, I'll go with you when the time comes, I want to see who dares to bully you, by the way, you go back and help me ask the people in the village to see if anyone is willing to go to the city with us, if you want, pull it over, and we'll go to the city together." ”
"Really? haha, with Brother Xiaobin, you are out, I think things will definitely be solved. Erdan jumped up happily.
"You kid don't come to this set, I don't know you yet, you've been paying attention to this since just now, don't think I can't see it. After speaking, Yi Xiaobin patted Erdan's head.
Erdan smiled "hehe", but as long as Yi Xiaobin agreed to himself, then what does it matter if he is slapped a few more times, after all, Yi Xiaobin's skills and Erdan can be seen clearly that day.
At this time, Uncle Niu, who had been burning paper money for Yi Xiaobin's father, also came over, looked at Yi Xiaobin and the two and said loudly: "Okay, it's not early, let's go too." With that, he took the lead and walked down the mountain.
"That Uncle Niu, I want to stay with my father for a while, you can go back first, by the way, if my friend gets up, ask her to wait for me for a while. Yi Xiaobin said out loud.
"Well, that's fine, you can stay with your father a little longer, but as for your friend, it seems that she left early this morning, and we didn't see her when we got up. "Uncle Niu has no objection to Yi Xiaobin wanting to stay a little longer, after all, the father and son have been separated for so long, and they should indeed stay longer, even if it is yin and yang at this time.
"Well, that's fine. After speaking, Yi Xiaobin turned around and walked towards the grave, while Uncle Niu walked towards the bottom of the mountain with Erdan.
When Uncle Niu and the two disappeared from his sight, Yi Xiaobin took out a piece of jade pendant from his clothes, and there was a small red word on it.
Fingers gently stroked the word Bin on the jade pendant, Yi Xiaobin lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, his eyes looked at his father's tombstone tightly, and finally sighed deeply.
"Even if you are not my biological father, I will always be your son. Yi Xiaobin muttered, and then put the piece of jade in his hand on his neck.
This jade pendant said in his father's letter that he wore it as soon as he was picked up, which may help Yi Xiaobin find his biological parents, but Yi Xiaobin doesn't have much hope for this, but it is good to wear it as a souvenir.
And at this time, a figure at the foot of the mountain stumbled towards Yi Xiaobin, looking at the familiar figure, Yi Xiaobin immediately realized that something might have happened.
