Chapter 271: Conscience
As soon as Zhao Shengtian knelt down, Dong Juan and Zhao Meili, who were beside him, also knelt down, one called dad and the other called ye, and Liu Wenqing also knelt on the ground, but his head touched the ground but he didn't cry like them.
The people who came with the letter in the village couldn't help but sigh when they saw it, this good person was suddenly gone, how could it not make people sad, plus Zhao Shengtian They cried like this, and their noses were sour.
"Dad, it's me who is not filial, I am an unfilial son." Zhao Shengtian burst into tears.
He felt guilty.
Over the years, he knew that everything he did had disappointed his father, and when he was hungry, his father would bring him food, and when he thought of the scenes when he was a child, and then the things he did, he wanted to slap himself a few times.
The villagers in the house all came to comfort him, persuaded people to arrange the funeral, and when it came to facing Old Man Zhang, everyone didn't know what to do, it depended on the attitude of Zhao Shengtian's family, after all, this person left when he was drinking with him last night, and if the Zhao family really wanted to investigate it, it was impossible for Old Man Zhang not to take responsibility.
The Zhao family was busy with Old Man Zhao's marriage, and no one paid attention to Old Man Zhang, and Old Man Zhang didn't care what others did to him, just helping at that time, and people were also very comfortable, but they looked down on their expressions, and they didn't have the spirit of the past.
The funeral of the old man was held for three days before it was completed.
Old man Zhang sat on the kang of his house, and only felt that the past few days seemed to be in a dream.
He didn't know that someone in the family came in, and he didn't raise his head until he heard someone call him, and the person who came was Zhao Shengtian, he called uncle, and sat down next to Old Man Zhang.
"Uncle, what did you and my dad say that night?" Zhao Shengtian has been very haggard these days.
"Your dad said he wanted to go to the city, and when I opened the storefront, he would go to work, just eat and live, and not get paid, so that he could always be with me, and the two of us would drink."
Zhao Shengtian covered his face and cried again when he heard this, and Old Man Zhang didn't persuade him, until Zhao Shengtian had cried enough, and then he choked up, "Uncle, I'm not filial." Over the years, I have only cared about the addiction of being an official, and I have never entered filial piety to my father, and what I did also made him sad and disappointed, he must have left with regrets. ”
"It's all in the past, your dad left peacefully, and you shouldn't be too sad." Old man Zhang saw that it was rare for him to say such a thing, whether it was true or not, he finally felt better, "If your father knew that you could repent like this, he would be at ease underground." ”
"Uncle, I won't forgive myself in my life." Zhao Shengtian suddenly raised his head and slapped himself twice, "I am not worthy of being a son of man, let alone being a man." ”
Over the years, he has been blinded by lard, and now that his father is gone, he knows how much he has done, and now he regrets that he can't get his father back.
"You kid..." Old Man Zhang was stunned when he saw his actions, but he didn't know what to say.
"Uncle, you can go back to the city with confidence, I'll help you look after your house, and no one wants to live in it." Zhao Shengtian's face was red and swollen before he got down to business, but the sadness on his face couldn't be hidden, "I used to be too selfish and lost all this bit of affection between relatives and neighbors, but now although the people in the village are all following me to hold me, it's not my identity as the captain, if I'm not the captain anymore, who will take me seriously?" I don't know if it's too late for me to wake up. ”
But no matter what, he couldn't go wrong.
"Shengtian, if you can really think about it, it's never too late." Old man Zhang was also full of emotion.
If Zhao Shengtian is really changed for the better, then it will be worth it for the old partner to go.
"Uncle, I believe your words, I have done something wrong in the past, I will admit my mistake to you today, please forgive me for being ignorant and selfish." Zhao Shengtian stood up and apologized solemnly.
"Okay, okay, it's all over, it doesn't matter if you can change it now." Old man Zhang's eyes were slightly wet, and he pinched the placket and wiped the corners of his eyes, "It's a pity that your father didn't see this scene." ”
Zhao Shengtian listened to the tears, and tears also fell.
On the same day, Zhao Shengtian arranged for the carriage on the team to send the old man Zhang to the town to catch the car, the Zhao family was also busy for a few days because of the funeral in the past few days before it quieted down, Dong Juan watched her man come back, and greeted him, but he didn't know what to say, and followed his man into the house without saying anything.
After sitting on the kang, Dong Juan asked worriedly, "Shengtian, Dongzi didn't come back, don't worry, I'm afraid he was held up in the city, and he will come back when he is done." ”
"Don't mention him." Zhao Shengtian had a gloomy face, "Pack up your things, and let them move to her grandfather's place today." ”
"How is this going to work?" Dong Juan was afraid that her husband would misunderstand, so she was busy explaining, "I was thinking that they were still young, can they be afraid of living there?" After all...."
Zhao Shengtian interrupted her words, with an unhappy face, "That's my father, what if you really turn into a ghost and come back?" That's their own grandfather, can they still harm them? Aren't they going to live alone? Then move over there, or live here, and don't talk about anything and go out alone. ”
Dong Juan knew that her man went to Zhang's side, but she didn't expect people to come back so soon, and now when she heard this tone, she didn't mention the house, and she couldn't guess what her man thought, and now she just said a word, and when she saw that he lost his temper, Dong Juan didn't dare to say it anymore.
"If you are afraid of wronging them, then the two of us will move over, but this house is reserved for Dongzi's marriage, where will they live in Dongzi's marriage? Think about it. Zhao Shengtian dropped his words and got up and left.
Dong Juan sighed and muttered, "I don't know what kind of madness this is, could it be that it is really because the old man is guilty?" ”
said so, but Dong Juan didn't believe it at all.
When Zhao Meili and the others heard the news in the afternoon, Zhao Meili was unhappy at that time, "Mom, why is my dad like this?" ”
Dong Juan didn't say anything about them moving to let their daughter live here, after all, in Dong Juan's heart, a son is much more important than a daughter.
"Okay, okay, that's what your dad said, I can't be the master, if you don't agree, just ask your dad to go." Dong Juan was also annoyed, and waved her daughter directly.
Zhao Meili bit her lip and remained silent, turned around angrily and left, fortunately, Liu Wenqing was on the side of the educated youth, otherwise he would have felt uncomfortable when he heard his family say this.
The old man Zhang on the commune had just gotten on the bus, looking at the land that had revealed the black ground, and his heart was much heavier than when he came. (To be continued.) )
