Chapter 3118 3120 [Falling leaves return to their roots]
Lu Zhaopeng then went to Xiang Nan's husband's house.
Then the Zhang family knew that their daughter followed Lu Zhaopeng to the south to participate in the revolution, and later died in the Northern Expedition.
After learning about this incident, the Zhang family wept bitterly.
Although they hated their daughter for escaping marriage back then, it made their family lose face.
But after so many years and so many things, they can already understand what their daughter did.
Knowing what she has done is very meaningful and very great.
Therefore, hearing the news of her death now, I am naturally deeply saddened.
At this time, Xiang Nan knew that he and Lu Zhaopeng almost became brothers-in-law.
…
Lu Zhaopeng's return can be regarded as saving Lu Zilin's life.
Originally, as a former Xiangyue, he should have been arrested.
After all, he followed Tian Fuxian to do a lot of bad things back then, and many villagers reported him.
But he is Lu Zhaopeng's father after all, and he is crazy now. Besides, since four or five years ago, he has ceased to be a villager, so he has been lenient.
However, according to Xiang Nan, with Lu Zilin's current state, he will not live for a few years.
…
After the liberation of Bailuyuan, Xiang Nan left Bailuyuan together with Lu San, Zhang Fenglan, Zhang Ziqing, Tian Xiaoe and others. Take the train to the liberated Hujiang River, and then go to Xiangjiang via Wuyang.
Xiang Nan's reason was that he played tricks, pretended to be a god, and bluffed and deceived him, which was considered a major crime. Someone had sued him in the city, so he had to leave.
Lu San was naturally reluctant to leave, he wanted to die in Bailuyuan, on his kang.
But he was afraid that something would happen to his son, so he had to follow his son on the road.
"Da, don't worry, in a few years, if nothing happens, we will come back." Xiang Nan persuaded, "And I promise you, even if you die in the future, I will bury your ashes back .”
Lu Sanyi listened and nodded.
…
After arriving in Xiangjiang, Xiang Nan bought the building and directly made an apartment.
At the beginning, he pretended to be a ghost, and indeed cheated some money, but later he gave up food and medicine. And after 31 years, he closed the temple gate to thank visitors, and no longer accepted money for sesame oil and food offerings, so the money was almost spent.
However, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, he took advantage of the chaos of the war and took away a lot of property.
Therefore, he has no shortage of money.
After arriving in Xiangjiang, at the beginning, Lu San, Zhang Fenglan, Zhang Ziqing, etc. were very uncomfortable. They felt that Xiang Nan's decision to immigrate was completely wrong, and they discussed with him whether they could move back.
But after a few years, they realized how wise Xiang Nan was, and they completely gave up the idea of going back.
…
In 1960, Lu San passed away at the age of 85, which is considered a long life.
Xiang Nan complied with his will and specially applied to return to China to bury Lu San's ashes back to Bailuyuan.
At that time, although it was inconvenient to travel, it was still possible to apply.
Xiangnan and his colleagues first took the train from Tsim Sha Tsui to Luohu, and were allowed to enter the country after being inspected at the Luohu immigration station.
When you enter the country, you will receive a letter of introduction to return to your hometown, and report to the police station before you can receive a food stamp, and then buy a train ticket before you can go to Xi'an City.
Xiang Nan went back with Zhang Ziqing, Tian Xiaoe and others. After three days and three nights, I arrived in Xi'an by train from Wuyang. After arriving in Xi'an, report to the local police station.
Knowing that Xiang Nan and others were overseas Chinese from Xiangjiang, the local police officers were also very enthusiastic, and specially contacted a bus to send them back to Bailuyuan.
Back to Bailuyuan again, everything seems to be different from before, but it seems that there is not much difference.
The idle man who was smoking at the entrance of the village saw that Xiang Nan and the others were dressed differently from the villagers.
"Are you Brother Hei Wa?" An old man asked.
Xiang Nan was taken aback, looked at him carefully, and then asked in surprise, "Are you Xiaowu?!"
Seeing Bai Xiaowu's gray hair and piles of wrinkles, he really looks like a little old man.
"Yes, it's me." Bai Xiaowu said in surprise, "Brother Heiwa, why are you still the same as before, why don't you look old?"
"Is the little fairy really back?"
"Oh, I haven't seen him for so many years, why doesn't he look old?"
"Isn't this a little fairy, older than us, but much younger than us."
Everyone was also surprised.
…
Afterwards, Bai Xiaowu let Xiang Nan sit at home.
After a while, other villagers gathered around Bai's house after receiving the news.
"Xiaowu, has the village changed a lot these years? How are you doing?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
"Hey, it's still the same, it's just farming. With your face facing the loess and your back facing the sky, you can't compare to Brother Heiwa." Bai Xiaowu waved his hand and said, "By the way, Brother Heiwa, where have you been all these years? After liberation You suddenly disappeared?"
"Oh, we went abroad to Xiangjiang." Xiang Nan explained.
"Where is Xiangjiang?" Bai Xiaowu was puzzled.
Xiang Nan smiled and explained roughly.
Bai Xiaowu suddenly realized, and inquired about the salary and food in Xiangjiang, and then said enviously, "Brother Heiwa, you are still capable."
"All good, all good." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
After chatting for a while, he knew that the villagers of the older generation were basically dead.
Tian Fuxian and Yue Weishan were shot in 50 years. After they died, Lu Zilin was frightened crazy, yelling that there were ghosts chasing him every day, and died before the end of the year.
Wu Xiancao walked in 52, Bai Jiaxuan walked in 55, Bai Xinger, Sang Laoba, Er Douer, etc. also walked in 53 and 54.
The Lu He family followed his son Lu Zhaopeng, and after enjoying the blessings in the city for a while, they left in five or seven years.
Lu Zhaopeng is now an official in the province, and he often comes down for a walk, and the village still gets a lot of credit from him.
…
Xiang Nan chatted with the villagers until very late, and that night, he rested at Xiaowu's house.
Their previous home has been distributed to others, and most of the trees in the ancestral temple have been cut down, and even the statues of gods have been demolished, so they are not suitable for living in.
Turning around, Xiang Nan discussed with the villagers about Lu San's burial.
The villagers are very supportive of Lu San Luoye returning to his roots.
Besides, in the catastrophe that year, it was Xiang Nan who saved the food and saved the whole village.
So the villagers are also grateful for this kindness, and naturally they will not shirk it, and they are very eager to help.
During the discussion, I heard the car horn outside.
Wait for everyone to go out to have a look, they saw Lu Zhaopeng getting off the car.
"Heiwa~"
"Zhaopeng~"
When Lu Zhaopeng saw Xiang Nan, he was very happy and strode forward to meet him.
Xiang Nan also greeted him with a smile.
