.

When everything was settled, the old house of Li's family, which had been noisy for more than two days, returned to peace again. After dinner in the morning, the village elder Geng greeted the villagers who came to help and the subordinates of Uncle Long's men to start demolishing the temporary stages and greenhouses. He was busy beginning to thank the funeral bands, opera troupes and people who were in the wedding and wedding. He paid what should be paid and what should be given something. Naturally, the reward was much higher than that of ordinary families, even the famous rich people in the town. This amount of money was naturally not even a drop in a bucket for Uncle Long.

Finally, all the outsiders had thanked them, and only the villagers who came to help in the village were left. These were the old rules. The village elder Geng could also mess with the rules. After Li Sansheng finished his meal, he stayed in the study with Situ. When he finally wanted to thank him, the village elder Geng called out Uncle Long and Li Sansheng because the thanks to the villagers must be thanked by the owner himself. Xiao Situ found it very interesting and ran out.

There is nothing, it is all tobacco and alcohol and some supplements. It is a good cigarette and alcohol bought by Uncle Long from Xi'an. Some villagers in the village may have never smoked such good cigarettes in their lives. If you have drunk such good wine, these are more valuable than thanking others.

Over the years, the old Li family has received too many help from villagers. Although the adoptive father returned to the village for a long time and was cold, the villagers gradually realized the helplessness of the old man. At least Li Sansheng and Erlong often eat hundreds of family meals. Uncle Long naturally knew that his adoptive father never owed others in his life, and only others owe him, so his thanks to the villagers naturally became much more heavy.

Li Sansheng, Uncle Long and the village elder Geng thanked the villagers together. The hundreds of families of about 100 families came to help the Li family, and it took more than half an hour to finish the work.

After finishing his work, thanked him. Except for the village elder Geng, the remaining villagers also went back. The hall of the Li family's old house was restored to its original state except for the place where the mourning hall was placed. At this moment, the hall was full of people. Most of the subordinates of Uncle Long who had been wandering outside and guarding the Li family's old house and the people brought by the Liu family retreated into the Li family's old house.

"Brother Geng, I'm really bothering you this time." The locust chairs in the hall were full of people, and there were only a few people who were qualified to sit. Uncle Long Li Sansheng, the Liu family who came to attend the funeral, the men representing the other two families, and the major general man Li Sansheng had met, and the village elder Geng. The village elder Geng was obviously a little restless. Little Situ stood behind Li Sansheng in a good manner. Uncle Long looked at the village elder Geng who had been busy for the past three days and sincerely thanked him.

"Mr. Li's affairs are worthy," said the village elder Geng with a hint of a hint of smile.

"Brother Geng, I think the primary school in the village is already a bit old, it's almost a dangerous house," Uncle Long said lightly.

"Yes, that was the one that Mr. Li had just returned to the village. It's been almost twenty years since he started to build a school," the village elder Geng sighed when he heard Uncle Long's words. A few years ago, the county said that he wanted to pay for the school to be built, but the money disappeared when the money came to the town. He kept looking for the leaders of the town, but those leaders said that the finances in the town were in a tight position, and then they were in a strife. Seeing that the children were in trouble in school, the rich parents sent their children to the town or the county, and the children who had no money continued to live in the dangerous house, and there were fewer and fewer teachers, so they didn't dare to come here to teach. As the village chief, he was particularly anxious.

"Well, the adoptive father said that there is no way out for studying, but there is absolutely no way out for not studying. The future of the children is important, so I thought about it and donate to build a primary school to our village. I will ask you to discuss this matter, and you don't have to worry about the procedures or anything else. Just say where to build it." Uncle Long thought about it and said that he naturally had to do these things that would accumulate good deeds for his adoptive father.

"Really, ah, then... I'll thank you for everyone in the village first." After hearing Uncle Long's words, Lao Geng was so excited that he didn't know what to say. The other men nodded lightly and thoughtfully. It seemed like a small thing, but in the eyes of these big people, it was a big thing related to people's livelihood. The eyes and starting points of small people and big people are always different.

"Old Geng, let me ask, will my adoptive father have any customs in the future?" Uncle Long was most concerned about this matter. He knew that his adoptive father was most particular about these things during his lifetime.

"If you want to talk about customs, you have to burn seven paper and keep a hundred days of shook. Rural people are basically at home, and no one pays attention. They just have to go to school for three lifetimes?" Village elder Geng thought for a while and said, this is the custom of Guanzhong, and every household is like this.

"Oh," Uncle Long nodded and was about to speak, because this was a relatively important thing after all, but the discussion with the Liu family was that Sansheng had to go to Beijing to meet his grandfather, Mr. Liu, but he didn't expect that Li Sansheng suddenly said, "I will keep a hundred days of shit for grandpa."

"No, Sansheng, you must go to Beijing to see your grandfather." The man named Jiande from the Liu family, who had already been in the top position of a certain province in the south, immediately stood up and said.

"My surname is Li." Li Sansheng glanced at his grandfather's mourning hall and said lightly.

"Or, let me burn Qiqi Paper for Master Li. When the paper is over a hundred days, I will just ask Sansheng to come back and burn it for his grandfather." Village elder Geng didn't expect that such a thing suddenly made the atmosphere furious and whispered a relatively compromise method.

"Brother Geng, haha, you go back first. Let's discuss with Sansheng what to do. I'll tell you if there is any change at that time." Uncle Long saw the atmosphere suddenly making such a furious sound, frowned and smiled and said to the village elder Geng. This matter obviously needs to be discussed again.

"Oh, hehe, then I'm back. If you have anything, tell me." The village elder Geng stood up and said tremblingly. He had no desire to sit here for a long time, for fear of losing his life, so he left after that.

"Second, send the village chief to send a box of the remaining tobacco and alcohol for each village chief." Uncle Long said in a deep voice to the second son who had been standing under the eaves of the hall. The second son nodded and greeted Xiaoba, asking him to move things with the two of them and send the village chief out by himself.

After the village chief left, the remaining men were all considered their own family members. They frowned and wanted to come up with a better suggestion. After all, Mr. Li had just been buried, so they dared not do anything too much.

"I still think I'll let Sansheng go to Beijing first. Mr. Liu and our old man want to meet Sansheng. You know that the one above wants to meet too." The middle-aged man whose hair was called Wei Guo by the man in the Liu family said lightly. His age seems to be the oldest among these people, and he is also the most prestigious.

The man who had never spoken since he came to the old house of Li's family nodded at this time, which was considered to be considered an agreement.

"I just want to keep a spirit for my grandfather." Li Sansheng still did not give in. His tone seemed to be plain but he had an unshakable determination.

Everyone frowned and shook their heads when they heard Li Sansheng's words. Only Uncle Long nodded and smiled bitterly. They knew that these people felt that Sansheng was a little too hard, too hard and easy to break, and they didn't know how to adapt. But how did they know the idea of ​​a child who had been dependent on his grandfather for twenty-years? He just wanted to keep a hundred days for his grandfather.

"I think it's better. After Sansheng's keeping Master Li's mind for a hundred days, we'll go to Beijing to see the old men. Let's go back and talk to the men. I've been waiting for twenty-one years and don't care about these three months." In the end, the Liu family decided the man's decision. He had no choice but to see this nephew's tough attitude, so he couldn't force him too quickly. When everyone heard the lieutenant general's words, they could only nod and assumed that they had no choice but to default. What if they didn't.

After this matter was decided, the two most important things for these men's trip had been settled. Although the last thing did not achieve the desired result, there was nothing we could do.

In the afternoon, the middle-aged men who had been in the Li family for almost three days were going back. They were all big guys in the position and had too many important things. If someone knew that they put down their official duties and went to attend the funeral of an old man in rural areas, it would be a bit of a fantasy. Everyone must have guessed that the dead people should be on the news broadcast.

Li Sansheng, Uncle Long and Little Situ watched these men get on the car with license plates, a total of five cars, three with license plates with military A, and the other two with Beijing A. I think hello when I got off the highway, otherwise it would have alarmed all the heads and minds of the county, city and province level early.

When these men finally left, Li Sansheng still couldn't believe how he was associated with these people. He knew very early and long ago that his grandfather would have been brilliant in his life, but he didn't expect that the height he had reached was indeed so high that he didn't know how high he was.

Grandpa, what kind of person are you? Li Sansheng looked up at the sky and said to himself.

After the middle-aged men from Beijing finally left, Uncle Long and Li Sansheng sat under the old locust tree and took a pot of wine. Li Sansheng used his grandfather's wine gourd. Uncle Long had an exact same wine gourd. On the wheat field not far away, Xiao Situ was cleaning up Xiao Ba who was playing with him.

"Sansheng, think about it carefully. Some things are not something you want or not. Your grandfather has his own difficulties," Uncle Long said lightly after taking a sip of wine. He was the only half-family relative who was more familiar to Li Sansheng for so many years.

Li Sansheng didn't speak, but just drank a drink. These days he experienced the darkest moments in his life, and he became more and more suspicious of himself.

Li Sansheng didn't say anything, Uncle Long continued, "Think about it carefully, which path you should take? There has never been an ordinary person in the Li family. Your grandfather is, your dad is, and you must be."

Li Sansheng still didn't say anything...

Uncle Long also left in the evening. More than a dozen steel warriors with Heilongjiang license plates drove out of the small village in a row. When they could not see the shadow of the car leaving, Li Sansheng came to his senses.

Yesterday is like a dream, it has passed, tomorrow is indeed unknown, only today who is alive is the most real...

"Little Situ, go home"
