Chapter 1220: Condemnation
It's no wonder that Zhao Qingshan and his family are all in Kyoto City, and even the soul-nourishing wooden box containing his wife Wu Baolian is taken by Zhao Qingshan every day.
People are like this, where they are concerned in their hearts, they like to stay there. Zhao Qingshan is no exception. Besides, over the years, Zhao Qingshan has been very busy in Kyoto City, in addition to asking for peace for a few leaders every month, he also has to take care of the four grandchildren at home in his free time.
"My grandmother has not been in good health for the past two years. There is one thing, she originally wanted to wait for you to go back to Zhaojiagou to talk about it. Over the years, my grandmother has not been looking forward to your return, so she took the opportunity of my visit to Kyoto City to ask me to bring a message to the old secretary. Zhao Xiaocao looked at Zhao Qingshan with a smile on his face, and his eyes were a little tangled.
Aunt Gu asked Xiaocao to bring it to Zhao Qingshan, it was really not good, and Zhao Xiaocao was a little speechless. However, since it was Aunt Gu's request, Zhao Xiaocao couldn't help but say it.
"Gu Daya has something to say, why don't you call me? You still have to work for a little girl running around, and you are not too tired to panic. Zhao Qingshan thought that Zhao Xiaocao came to Kyoto specifically to spread the word for Gu Daya, so he couldn't help but smile and say.
mentioned Gu Daya, which reminded Zhao Qingshan of his life in Zhaojiagou for decades. Zhao Qingshan has lived in Zhaojiagou for more than half of his life. When Zhao Qingshan's wife Wu Baolian was alive, she was like a sister to Gu Daya. After Wu Baolian died, Gu Daya cried fiercely.
"My grandmother said she couldn't talk about it on the phone. The village phone has to be called to the brigade headquarters, and when someone calls, Uncle Arita has been guarding the brigade headquarters! Grandma is afraid that Uncle Arita will eavesdrop and ruin your image in Uncle Arida's heart. But if she didn't talk about it, she felt uncomfortable. Zhao Xiaocao replied honestly.
Zhao Youtian is the village head of Zhaojiagou, and after Zhao Qingshan is not the village party secretary, Zhao Youtian has the final say in Zhaojiagou's affairs.
What is so mysterious? Are you afraid that Uncle Youtian will eavesdrop?" Zhou Yuanyuan's ears are a little erected.
Zhao Qingshan also felt a little inexplicable. Hearing Xiaocao say this, why does it seem that there is some secret between him and Gu Daya to tell behind someone's back?
"Kid, you say! I'll listen!" the smile on Zhao Qingshan's face was put away. As I get older, I have seen more people. Zhao Qingshan thinks that he is upright, and he is really not afraid that Xiaocao will say a flower.
"Old secretary and grandfather, my grandmother asked me to bring you this sentence: Even if you Zhao Qingshan have been rich in Kyoto City all these years, you shouldn't forget Wu Baolian who is sleeping on the Daqing Mountain!"
Zhao Qingshan was stunned. It turns out that Gu Daya is here for Wu Baolian?
Zhao Qingshan felt guilty for his careful eyes.
When Zhao Xiaocao didn't say this, Zhao Qingshan thought that Aunt Gu wanted to blackmail him through some old things.
After all, the life of the Zhao family is not what it used to be, in the hearts of the villagers of Zhao Jiagou, Zhao Qingshan's current life is not ordinary wealth, his sons and daughters have great talents, and Zhao Qingshan himself is a famous doctor. Even if Aunt Gu wants to give her children and grandchildren some benefits from Zhao Qingshan, it is not impossible.
Zhao Qingshan didn't expect Gu Daya to let Zhao Xiaocao make such a solemn trip, and it turned out to be about his wife Wu Baolian.
From Xiaocao's narration, Zhao Qingshan understood why Gu Daya let Xiaocao run like this.
Zhao Qingshan and Wu Baolian, a couple, are "legendary" existences in Zhaojiagou.
When Wu Baolian was alive, Zhao Qingshan and her husband and wife were in love, and they envied the women of Zhaojia Village. After Wu Baolian died, Zhao Qingshan buried her on Daqing Mountain. Even in the years when feudal superstition was not allowed, Zhao Qingshan would often secretly go to Wu Baolian's grave to worship.
In the years when Wu Baolian just died, the Zhao family had several waves of matchmakers every year to say goodbye to Zhao Qingshan. Zhao Qingshan refused all, insisted on being a father and a mother again, and pulled up a pair of children.
In the eyes of the women of Zhaojiagou Village, Zhao Qingshan has simply become a "love saint", and Wu Baolian has also become a woman envied by the ladies in the village. If you die, you can catch the hearts of your own men, and this kind of woman who has this ability is really not available to anyone other than Wu Baolian.
Gu Daya is the same, she has always been proud of her good sister Wu Baolian marrying such a loving husband as Zhao Qingshan.
Gu Daya's pride came to an abrupt end ten years ago.
After Zhao Qingshan moved to Kyoto City, he never returned. Every year before and after Qingming, Gu Daya always looks forward to Zhao Qingshan's figure appearing in the village, but every year, Zhao Qingshan disappoints her.
Every year before the Qingming Festival, Gu Daya will pick a day, quietly go up the mountain in the middle of the night, clean up the weeds on Wu Baolian's grave, and worship Wu Baolian.
Because of this, even if the villagers of Zhaojiagou did not see Zhao Qingshan's people and saw the sacrifices in front of Wu Baolian's grave, they would think that Zhao Qingshan had gone back to worship Wu Baolian, but he did not enter the village.
Before Aunt Gu asked Zhao Xiaocao to speak, she also called Zhao Yunxiang and heard that Zhao Qingshan had not remarried all these years, so she asked Zhao Xiaocao to go to Zhao Qingshan's house by the way. Otherwise, Aunt Gu would not have let Zhao Xiaocao do this "hated" thing.
"Old secretary and grandfather, don't be surprised! My grandmother's temperament is a little stubborn, she doesn't want to condemn you, she thinks that she doesn't have many days to live, and grandma is afraid that after she leaves, Grandma Pauline's ······" Zhao Xiaocao's explanation was a little messy, but Zhao Qingshan understood.
Aunt Gu meant that she was afraid that after she died, Wu Baolian's grave would be taken care of!
"No, no, I would like to thank your grandmother for the reminder. Zhao Qingshan came back to his senses and couldn't help but feel ashamed of his negligence.
The custom of Zhaojiagou is like this, after the death of a loved one in the family, if there is no relative worship every year, the family will be looked down upon by the villagers. Gu Daya has silently helped Zhao Qingshan worship Wu Baolian all these years, and Zhao Qingshan really owes her a favor.
Zhao Qingshan really didn't think of going back to the village to worship Wu Baolian.
In Zhao Qingshan's view, Wu Baolian's soul has always been by his side, and the tomb on Daqing Mountain is just Wu Baolian's skin. Zhao Qingshan wanted to worship Wu Baolian, which was also carried out at home.
After Zhou Yuanyuan found this soul-nourishing exercise for Zhao Qingshan, Zhao Qingshan put all his thoughts on how to "nourish the soul" for Wu Baolian. Every morning and evening, Zhao Qingshan would face the soul-nourishing wooden box and recite the "soul-nourishing formula" taught to him by Zhou Yuanyuan several times.
