The sick man is responsible

Liu Chenghan went to see his grandfather on the mountain, Yuan Bao insisted on following him, he liked his great grandfather, and would give him novel gadgets every time they met.Grandpa was very happy to live back on the mountain, and also happy to see Liu Chenghan and Yuan Bao coming, so he took out a straw grasshopper from his pocket to play with Yuan Bao.

Liu Chenghan pretended to complain and said, "Grandpa is tired of living at uncle's house, so he should go to my house to relax, why don't you just move back to the mountains without making a sound."

"Don't tell me, your filial grandpa knows it all." Grandpa said, "But grandpa has lived on this mountain for too long, and he is used to talking to graves, and he feels uncomfortable talking to living people. Besides, the village is the same as me now. There are also fewer older people, and other people are not used to talking. I live in a place with many people, but I might as well be on the mountain. I talk to you every day, and I feel at ease."

"But Grandpa, you have to look at your current body, how can you live alone." Liu Chenghan said.

"I promised you that I would not spoil my body. I think my body is not bad, maybe I can really be an old man." Grandpa joked, "Your elder brother said that he would go to the mountains to accompany me, and bring his husband and children. It’s good to live in the cemetery, and build a house at the big turn before entering the cemetery, it’s only a few steps away from grandpa, so don’t worry.”

"Then I will bring Yuan Bao to see you more in the future." Liu Chenghan said.

"Okay." Grandpa nodded cheerfully, "Your elder brother is also a good boy, just like you, and your brother's relationship is mediocre, so Yuan Bao can get along with his Dong boy more and have a deeper relationship."

Liu Chengzhi's eldest son was named Liu Nengdong. Thinking of this name, Liu Chenghan remembered that he hadn't given Yuan Bao a name yet.

In a blink of an eye, the child will also go to a private school, and he will have a big name.Liu Chenghan began to put this issue on the agenda.When I got home, I had a thoughtful expression.

Liu Hanqing was allowed to go down to the field, and seeing Liu Chenghan in a daze, remembered something to discuss with him, "Da Lang, isn't Aya's birthday coming up, I prepared a gift, I don't know if it's appropriate, show me. "

"Well, what have you prepared?" Liu Chenghan recovered from his thoughts and said. "Speaking of which, what did you prepare for my birthday? I wore that suit last year to school, and it's still the same this year?"

"Your birthday is in August, what's the rush?" Liu Hanqing pushed him angrily.Take out a scroll from the blue and white pot with short belly on Liu Chenghan's desk.After Liu Chenghan's teaching, Liu Hanqing also knew a lot of characters.Liu Laowu took a carpentry handbook and was embarrassed to ask Liu Chenghan, so he grabbed Liu Hanqing and told him word by word.

The small pictures in the book also let Liu Hanqing draw the big picture.Liu Hanqing felt that painting was very interesting while painting, and started to paint other things in his spare time.Liu Chenghan was happy to see that he had other hobbies, and teaching him to read and write turned into painting with him.

"I think Aya misses her father very much. Every day, she always looks at the things left by her father and thinks about others. I drew this picture." Liu Hanqing was a little nervous, and he also treated Liu Chenghan's father according to Zhou Hongmei's occasional conversation. The description of the painting is also based on his imagination of Liu Chenghan 20 years later.

When he first drew it, he was full of confidence, but when he actually drew it, he was a little uneasy. After all, from a few words, Liu Hanqing also learned that Zhou Hongmei had a deep affection for Liu Chenghan's father. Except for his father's burial, Zhou Hongmei never went to his grave. I was afraid that I would follow his father on impulse.If it wasn't for Liu Chenghan, Zhou Hongmei would never have survived this time.

Liu Chenghan opened the scroll and saw a portrait of a man who was very similar to himself, but a little older. He was stunned for a moment, "Are you painting my father?"

Liu Hanqing nodded, "When I first painted it, I wanted to relieve Ah Ya's pain of lovesickness, but I was afraid that it would be superfluous when I really painted it, so I came to ask your opinion, and you said whether to send it or not."

Liu Chenghan held the picture scroll and hesitated, and a figure appeared in his mind who was crying in front of the mourning hall and couldn't even kneel down. Although he was young at that time, he still had a memory. I don't hug him anymore.When she was a teenager, Zhou Hongmei would sometimes cry for no reason when she looked at his face. Although he said that it was Sha who lost his eyes, Liu Chenghan knew that it was because he saw his face more and more like his father's and thought of him.

In the first few years when Liu Shuhe went there, he couldn't even mention a word in front of Zhou Hongmei, and mentioning it would cause Zhou Hongmei's sadness for several days.Even now, others are cautious when talking about Liu Shuhe in front of him.

Liu Chenghan had mixed feelings, and looked at Liu Hanqing who was a little panicked, "You are very considerate, compared to me, you are much more filial."

"What are you talking about, you are obviously equally filial to Ah Ya." Liu Hanqing said, "Everyone is concerned about Ah Ya's emotions, but I am suddenly bold."

"Aya should be happy to see this." Liu Chenghan said, "Sometimes I miss a person for a long time, and suddenly find that I can't remember his face. Ahya misses his father very much. Back then, when my father didn't leave a portrait, I also Unexpectedly, you can give this to Aya."

Liu Hanqing sat next to Liu Chenghan, afraid that he would feel down when thinking of her deceased husband.Liu Chenghan grabbed his hand, "You draw very well, I think this is what Dad would look like if he was alive now."

Liu Hanqing leaned her head on his shoulder, "Father has never left, he has been watching us from the sky, accompanying us, and protecting us."

Liu Chenghan rolled up the scroll, put away a little sadness, and touched Liu Hanqing's hand, "If one day I walk ahead of you, what will you do?"

"Bah, bah." Liu Hanqing's reaction was very excited, and he sat up straight and wanted to cover Liu Chenghan's mouth, "You are not allowed to talk nonsense."

Liu Chenghan hurriedly supported him, fearing that he would hurt his stomach if he became agitated, "I'm just saying if, suppose, not necessarily."

"It's not allowed to say if it is assumed." Liu Hanqing's eyes were already red. If Liu Chenghan died before him one day, he would not even dare to think about it. Just thinking about it would make his heart sour.

Liu Chenghan kissed the corner of his eyes, "If I really walk ahead of you, I don't want you to live as hard as Ah Ya, find a partner while you are young, and don't have to spend the rest of your life like a dry well."

Now even Liu Chenghan's kiss couldn't stop Liu Hanqing's tears, "Who else would I look for besides you? Who else could I look for? Why would I look for someone else? Why do you say that, and you don't believe that I can protect you? No, I will not guard for you, I will not allow you to go ahead of me."

"Okay, okay, I won't walk ahead of you." Liu Chenghan comforted him by patting him on the back. "I will live with you for a long time, and when we both become old men, we will lie in the coffin hand in hand. Hmm"

Liu Hanqing nodded in Liu Chenghan's arms, feeling ashamed to cry because of a joke, buried in Liu Chenghan's arms without looking up.

"I know you are pregnant and sensitive, and your mood swings are my fault. I shouldn't say these things that make you anxious." Liu Chenghan said, patting him on the back.

Zhou Hongmei was taken aback when she received the portrait of Liu Hanqing on her birthday, and then said with a lot of emotion, "If your father is alive now, this is what he should look like, don't tell me, I haven't seen this portrait, my memory of your father's appearance is blurred Come on, Yuan Bao, look, this is grandpa."

Zhou Hongmei liked this portrait very much. She removed all the Bodhisattvas from the Buddhist hall and rearranged an incense table to enshrine the portrait. Instead of kneeling futons, she placed low stools in front of the portrait. She sat in front of the portrait every day, doing her own handicrafts. , chatting with the portrait in a rambling manner, he actually felt that his father was alive again, and his mood rose a lot when he saw it, and he also liked to take Yuan Bao to sit and play in front of the portrait.

Liu Chenghan was very grateful to Liu Hanqing. Liu Shuhe had been gone for so long, and he said that it would be impossible for Zhou Hongmei to follow him now. At this time, he just needs to remember his father with him.

Liu Hanqing didn't feel that he had accomplished any great things, but felt that he was lucky that he had an idea and didn't cause any trouble.

In today's society, the clan has the supreme influence, which is closer to the people than the imperial power, and more deterrent than the government's ruling.Liu Chenghan worked as a master in the clan's family school, and gradually began to understand the clan. Where he traveled, the clan's influence was weakened to the lowest level, which led to him not having a correct understanding.

The clan doesn't seem to only deal with major issues. The relatives have some trivial matters that cannot be discussed, so they have to go to the ancestral hall and ask the senior clan elders to come out and judge right and wrong.Because of his success, his big cousin often took him to activities in the clan, and he also saw a lot of things.

The business outside the clan is to negotiate with other villages and other clans, and to negotiate with other clans in other places.Clan affairs, fights for water, land, and roads are trivial matters. Disputes about separation, reconciliation, and succession are relatively difficult disputes, among which the issue of morality is the most severe.

Liu Chenghan once saw with his own eyes that a clan elder forced the family of a brother who had lost his virginity before marriage to shave his head and send him to a nunnery.Just like Liu Shun's former fiancé, it is impossible to even think about marrying his former lover after being divorced.

Liu Chenghan thought it was a bit too much when he first met, Liu Chenggong patiently explained to him. "This marriage is a major event in everyone's life. How can one person's misbehavior be relaxed and affect other people's marriages."

"It's true that the surname Liu is a common surname, but the reason why people from all over the world want to marry people from Liuye Township is because the Liu clan has a good atmosphere, good rules, and a good reputation." Liu Chenggong said, "This is the reason why good people and good deeds in the clan should be publicized, and shameful things should be concealed and severely punished. Look at Majia Village, which is now notorious on the street. Don't say that it is difficult for ordinary people to get married. It is the Ma clan. Seeing other clans, I don't have the right to stand up and speak."

"If you are strict with yourself, you can stand up and criticize others. Only when all the clan members believe in the clan, can the clan have real ability." Liu Chenggong said, "Do you think the Ma clan chief doesn't want to punish that brother who lost his virginity before marriage? But he can't, because the clansmen can stand up to him. A clan that can't even be managed by relatives, tsk tsk. He dares to try it in Liuye Township. If he can't deal with that brother, the patriarch will kill their family excommunicated from the clan."

"There is no small matter in the clan, and any problem is never as simple as it appears on the surface." Liu Chenggong ended with this sentence.
