Chapter 571 Relics
Uncle Zhang had something to leave Wang Chen, which he had thought of early on, because with Uncle Zhang's style of doing things, it was impossible for Wang Chen to come all the way just for a few words on the tombstone.

However, Wang Chen thought that the old man would leave some words, but he never expected that he would actually leave something for himself.

So after hearing Wen Yixuan's words, Wang Chen immediately showed a look of surprise and confusion on his face.

Wen Yixuan said: "He left three boxes in total, one box is for the village, one is for me, and the third one is for me to give to you.

Your box is in my temporary residence. I haven't opened it yet. Follow me to get it. "

"it is good!"

Wang Chen nodded, picked up the iron box containing the carving tools next to it, and then followed Wen Yixuan to the village.

As she walked forward, Wen Yixuan spoke again: "Uncle Zhang is very prestigious in the village. Although I am the village chief in name, when facing any major issues, the villagers still ask him what he thinks first. .

After his death, the villagers organized the funeral together, and everyone sent him here together. "

Wang Chen shrugged: "It was expected. Uncle Zhang is kind and has good moral character. He has worked hard for the villagers all his life, so naturally the villagers will come to see him off on this last journey."

Wen Yixuan nodded slightly: "He worked hard for the village during his lifetime, but even after he died, he still thought about doing something for the village.

As I said just now, he left a box to the villagers after his death. There were four things in the box.

A jade bracelet, the deed to his house, two bankbooks and a letter.

The letter was written by him many years ago. It said that after his death, he would ask the villagers to sell the jade bracelet and the money would be divided equally among the villagers.

As for that house, if Golin Village is fortunate enough to be developed in the future, all the proceeds from the demolition of his house will be equally divided among the villagers.

If it cannot be sold for a while, it will be left to the lonely people in the village who need shelter the most.

As for the two bankbooks, the total amount is 6 yuan, which is all the savings he has accumulated over the years, and is said to be reserved as emergency funds for the village.

If a family encounters a major event and needs money urgently, they can first withdraw some money from their bankbook, and then pay it back when conditions permit in the future, thus forming a revolving fund for emergencies. "

Hearing this, Wang Chen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Uncle Zhang would be so selfless.

Then, his face was filled with respect for Uncle Zhang's actions!
"Uncle Zhang is really great." Wang Chen said sincerely.

Wen Yixuan nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, I have met all kinds of people over the years, but he is the first one who is truly selfless!
And although he is old, every move he makes sets a lot of good examples for us juniors.

Whether it is for my future work or for our future life, we can draw a lot of valuable nutrients from his actions. "

As they spoke, they had already crossed the river and walked to the village.

Under Wen Yixuan's guidance, they arrived at the door of a small house facing the street.

After Wen Yixuan opened the door, she led Wang Chen inside and said, "This yard was built by Uncle Zhang in his first year as village chief. People often came here to travel.
They built this house to provide tourists with a place to stay when it is difficult to go down the mountain on windy and rainy days. They also built this house to help the village earn a little money. "

Listening to her words, Wang Chen also looked around.

Although the yard is a bit shabby, it is much better than other houses.

In particular, some of the facilities inside are somewhat similar to the small farmhouses and restaurants outside.

Crossing the path, they entered the room.

It looks like there are only three big rooms from the outside, but there is something special inside.In the front is a room for two owners and a small living room, and in the back are three small cubicles with single beds.

Behind this compartment, there is a small courtyard with some vegetables and other things planted in it.

While Wang Chen was watching this, Wen Yixuan had already taken out a wooden box from her bedroom.

After she asked Wang Chen to sit on the sofa, she also handed the wooden box over: "This is what Uncle Zhang left for you.
I heard from his neighbor that this box was made of wooden boards by himself on the day he died, and the boxes that the villagers and I got were all old items. I think he gave it to you on an impromptu basis. "

After hearing this, Wang Chen looked at the wooden box.

After taking a deep breath, he took off the lid of the wooden box.

Immediately, a piece of letter paper and two objects appeared in front of them.

Wang Chen picked up the letter first.

After unfolding, there are several lines of delicate handwriting.

"Xiao Wangchen, when you read this letter, I may no longer be here.

Although I haven’t had much contact with you, your vitality, kindness and integrity really touched me and left a deep impression on me.

I have two wishes in my life. One is to see Gorin Village get rid of poverty and become prosperous. However, due to various reasons, Gorin Village, instead of getting better, has stagnated for many years.

However, I believe that after you lift the so-called curse, everything will slowly get better.So this wish is not completely in vain. Here I want to thank you on behalf of myself and the whole village. "

Seeing this, Wang Chen's eyes became a little redder.

He paused slightly and continued to look down.

“The second wish is an agreement I made with several old comrades-in-arms. We agreed to meet in the county every ten years, and the living people would gather together to pay homage to the dead comrades-in-arms.

I used to go with them to reminisce about the past, but this time I'm afraid I'm going to miss the date, and I'm afraid I'm going to become one of their memories.

It's a bit regretful, but not entirely regretful, after all, everyone is mortal.The gossip has gone a bit far.

I tell you this because I want you to take the medal in the box to the county town for me on September [-]st, hand it over to my comrades in person, and tell them the news of my death so that they don’t want it. Be sad for me. "

Seeing this, Wang Chen picked up the medal in the box. It was a second-class merit medal. It was old and even faded.

However, such military medals shone brightly in Wang Chen's eyes, making him respectful.

"call!"

After Wang Chen stared at the medal in silence for a while, he looked at the last two lines on the letter paper again.

I saw Uncle Zhang writing: "In addition to a medal, there is also a set of silver needles in the box, which I found when I was rummaging through the things at home recently.

After recalling it carefully, it seems that I got it outside when I was young, and after I came back, it was useless and was thrown into the corner.

I heard that the silver needle is very powerful, and you happen to be a Chinese medicine practitioner. After much thought, it would be most appropriate to give it to you.

Finally, I hope you can use your medical skills to help more poor people, and I hope you can get better and better and become richer..."
