043, old-fashioned and lively, familiar and unfamiliar place
Zhang Jian returned to the small county town for two days and spent millions.
Now my mother’s relatives and friends know that he has made money and has a promising future.
The news went viral, and then Zhang Jian was about to go back to his hometown.
The third day is the day when the tenth chance of winning the lottery was accumulated.
Zhang Jian took Lina and drove away from K County to the village.
It was also on this day that Meng Shuyan took his parents back to the provincial capital for the New Year.
"How do you feel?" Zhang Jian asked while driving.
"It's great!" Lina smiled, "The scenery is very good and the air is very good."
"The air is of course good in the valleys," said Zhang Jian.
I went to apply for my passport in the morning, and in the afternoon I received a call from my father.
Tomorrow is the Little New Year. If you don’t go back, your father will start scolding you.
Since his parents divorced, Zhang Jian's life has become like a split in two halves.
Most of the time I can be with my mother, but on holidays I have to be with my father.
Those who don’t know think this is a good thing, but in fact, this is the most tormenting thing.
Otherwise, Zhang Jian wouldn't have been back for so long.
For him, living alone outside was more relaxed and comfortable.
Lina seemed to have put down her identity as a housekeeper and was taking photos naively.
In order to play the role of her girlfriend, she even uses new phones.
Zhang Jian was very satisfied with her.
Lina is very decent, not only has a good appearance, but also has perfect etiquette and people.
He earned him enough face.
He was already thinking about giving him a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year.
The car entered the village road and began to bump.
The dust raised forced Lina to close the windows.
Zhang Jian frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the road leading to the village had not been repaired for so many years, and he didn't know what the village meant.
He slowed down and slowly drove into the village in the bumps.
The sharp-eyed villagers saw the person in the car, but they didn't recognize him for a moment.
It was not until Zhang Jian rolled down the car window that he said hello.
Zhang Jian's uncle shouted and asked him to drive to the Ancestral Temple Square.
Zhang Jian suddenly remembered the rules in the village, and when he thought of his father's phone call, he burst into laughter.
"What's wrong?" Lina asked.
"The rules in the village are that if you buy a new car, the price is over 200,000 yuan, you have to go to the ancestral temple to burn incense. The people in the village will also buy firecrackers and fireworks. Be careful when you get off the car later."
After Zhang Jian finished speaking, the car arrived at the square and the sound of firecrackers had already started.
The crackling sound scared Lina. As soon as she looked out of the car, smoke filled the gunpowder.
After the car stopped, Zhang Jianma got off.
With a smile, he saw his limping father. Before he could say hello, he took the cigarette from his father and started to distribute it.
He turned his head and called Lina, asking her to come down and send red envelopes. They all were packaged last night. There was a red ticket in each red envelope, which was only sent to children.
Someone opened the red envelope on the spot. When they learned that it was a red ticket, they were in an uproar. Immediately, someone started calling for their babies and dogs, hoping to carry out all the newborns.
Zhang Jian was not afraid at all. He smiled and took out a black material bag from the car and put it in his father's hand. He asked him to help send red envelopes, and then gave the little monkey beside his father a red envelope.
The boy born to my father and the widow is only a little over seven years old and never dared to tell Zhang Jian. When I came back this time, I told him on the phone that I had already registered my household registration.
Zhang Jian thought he was the only son, after all, he and his father were the only ones in the household registration book. Unexpectedly, his father was moving very quickly, so he added a child to import it.
It’s also a big blame for Zhang Jian’s family affairs. No wonder his mother pinched him and said he was heartless. Of course, that means that he used to be, but now he is not. He is very conscience and filial.
As long as his filial piety does not deteriorate, he is a good boy.
Obviously, in Zhang’s father’s eyes, Zhang Jian was a good boy at this time.
Seeing his father being surrounded by a group of children, Zhang Jian smiled and took Lina to the ancestral hall.
The old man in the village was already sitting on both sides. When he saw the two of them coming in, he gave two incense sticks with a stern face, one for Zhang Jian and the other for Lina.
Zhang Jian also looked solemn and went with Lina to worship and burn incense to the statue of the ancestor god.
His lineage can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. His family was in the Central Plains Province. Later, his ancestors came here to become officials and prosecuted. If they really wanted to sue, Zhang Jian's ancestors were not farmers for the 18th generation.
Because until the end of Qing Dynasty, two ancestors were wearing official skins, and these were recorded in the genealogy and county annals. Because of this, there are always some ancient rules in the village.
After the incense was boiled, Zhang Jian had to offer tea to the two village elders alone, and had to burn ten yellow paper in the fire barn, and wait until the burning was finished before leaving.
After this set, more than an hour passed, but no one had any objections, because everyone came here like this, Lina was more curious and not impatient.
When his father brought the little monkey in, Zhang Jiancai and Lina left the ancestral temple and drove to their home. It was not an old house with memory, but a three-story building built by themselves.
The one with yards in front and back is separated from the nearby neighbors. You can drive in directly and turn a corner to drive into the front yard.
"I'm back!" A cramped voice sounded.
"Aunt Ding!" Zhang Jian smiled and got out of the car, "Linna called someone."
"Hello Auntie!" Lina said obediently.
"Okay, okay!" Dingxiang immediately smiled, extremely sincere, and even her eyes were slightly red.
She entered this house but did not get Zhang Jian’s approval.
This has always been her knot in her heart, and it was even her fault that Zhang Jian would not come.
But everything was over, and Zhang Jian grew up after all.
Zhang Jian didn't think so much, and took out his suitcase with Lina and then sent it to the second floor.
Dingxiang immediately came to help, muttering, "I know you are coming back, the beds are all new, they are all washed and dried, and the internet at home is also connected. Your dad also installed an internet TV upstairs, and he left a room for you as a study room. I cleaned it back and forth six times..."
"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Ding!" Zhang Jian said.
"It's all something you should do if you don't work hard, it's not hard." Dingxiang smiled.
"You go and do your business!" Zhang Jian glanced at the house, "We will pack our luggage and go down. By the way, this is a gift for you and my dad, as well as the little monkey, take it all down."
"Okay, okay!" Dingxiang smiled and hugged a bunch of things down.
Zhang Jian turned around and saw Lina staring at him.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Jian asked.
"There is only one bed!" Lina pursed her lips and said in a low voice.
"I'll go to the study tonight," Zhang Jian whispered, "Be patient for a while!"
Lina opened her mouth to speak, but Zhang Jian had already started packing her luggage.
She didn't open her mouth and dragged her suitcase into the bedroom.
Zhang Jian came to the study and looked at the surrounding decorations, feeling unfamiliar and familiar.
The house is strange, but the books and photos here are all traces of the past.
He didn't expect his father to build the house again, and no one had ever told him about it.
My father is a lame farmer and it is difficult to find a job when going out.
He could imagine how difficult his father had been in the past few years.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why he chose to escape.
