8 In August, a drizzle drizzled above Hushan Village. The sound of raindrops were accompanied by the sound of sorrow and music from the village. This day was the day when the old man Li Shufu in the village was buried. The person who arranged the funeral for the old man was his son and daughter-in-law.
Old man Li Shufu and his wife had two sons in their lifetime, but the eldest son unfortunately died when he was 6 months old. Now the only one of his younger sons is left in the family.
14 years ago, after his wife Zhang Shujuan died of cancer, Mr. Li Shufu also took in a strange girl, Xiaojie. In order to take in Xiaojie, the old man was kicked out of the house by his son and daughter-in-law. However, at his funeral, the villagers never saw Xiaojie.
As the village presided over the funeral, the old man's coffin was slowly dropped by the coffin carryer. It was not until shovels of yellow earth fell on the old man's coffin, and the old man's son and daughter-in-law stood aside slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
But at the last stage of the funeral, bursts of crying suddenly came from a distance. When the villagers looked back, they found that it was the girl Xiaojie.
Xiaojie was crying and ran forward desperately. When she ran to the old man's grave, she found that the old man's coffin had fallen to the ground and was piled with loess. Before the people around him were paying attention, Xiaojie knelt down in front of the grave of Mr. Li Shufu, and suddenly burst into tears... After seeing Xiaojie's actions, everyone in the village said that she was a kind and kind child.
After a while, Xiaojie turned around and looked at the old man's son Li Kang and daughter-in-law Huang Li fiercely, "Where did you get all the money from grandpa? Why don't you tell me why he died?" Xiaojie cried and shouted at Li Kang and Huang Li, but they both kept their heads down and did not dare to look at Xiaojie.
Suddenly, Xiaojie quickly got up, took off the shovel from the uncle's hand beside her, and began to dig the grave that the old man had just buried. Xiaojie's crazy behavior surprised everyone present, and everyone next to her was holding her desperately...
Later, the villagers learned that Xiaojie wanted to dig out the old man's grave that day, because she wanted to change a good coffin for her grandfather. My grandfather’s biggest wish during his lifetime was to use a good coffin to bury his wife and himself after his death.
The old man often told Xiaojie during his lifetime that he treated his wife so badly back then that he still lived in a leaking thatched house before leaving. However, Xiaojie worked outside for several years and sent the coffin money to the old man home was taken over by the old man's son and daughter-in-law.
When my grandfather passed away, he was working outside. He had asked for leave before and came back once, but he really didn't expect that Li Kang and Huang Li could do such a bad thing. In the days after the old man's funeral, Xiaojie cried every night. She couldn't forget the kindness her grandfather had to him...
14 years ago, when Xiaojie was 8 years old, her parents both died in an accident car accident. Because relatives could not tolerate her, Xiaojie ran away from home alone. This 8-year-old girl who lost her parents was disliked everywhere. Just when she lost hope for her life, Xiaojie met Mr. Li Shufu......
Back then, the old man was willing to separate from her son and daughter-in-law in order to take her in, and later she also provided her with her life and study. In order to prevent my grandfather from getting into trouble again in the second year of high school, Xiaojie secretly followed the village girl to work in the city. In her heart, she always remembered the wish that her grandfather once told her that she would have a good coffin after her death. He said that this was not for himself, but for his wife to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain in the future...
Xiaojie left a month later. Before leaving, she told the village chief that if she had the opportunity to move the tomb to the elderly in the future, she would definitely bring a good coffin home.
