"Mom! Why are you still sad about your grandfather's death? Don't be sad. My grandfather is 85 years old, and he can be considered as having a lifetime of life. I believe my grandfather has no regrets."

When Hong Tianbao returned home, he saw his mother sitting in the hall with red eyes and dazed. He knew that his mother had not yet awakened from the reality of his grandfather's death.

"Xiaobao, are you back? Have you found a job? It's hard to find a job now and I won't find it for a while. Let's rest at home for a while! Haha! My eyes are sandy, and God has nothing to say to your grandfather."

Although Hong Tianbao's mother, Xia Feishuang, is still plump and still. Her plain clothes on her body do not affect her charming face or proud figure. When Xia Feishuang saw Hong Tianbao coming back, she immediately wiped the wet corners of her eyes secretly.

My son has graduated this year and has been more than a month since now, but his work has not been settled. She doesn't want to add trouble to her son. Her son is clear, open-minded on the surface, but he doesn't care. But he is a strong person in his heart. He has been smart since childhood. With obedient and filial piety, he has always been a pioneering role model for children in this area.

Hong Tianbao's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart: Mom's excuse is too bad. But he didn't dare to say it out, so he could only pretend to be stupid.

"Yeah! I'm not in a hurry. I've been out these days and found that there are quite a lot of work. However, it doesn't seem to be suitable for me. So let's take a break at home first and go out to have a look later." Hong Tianbao felt helpless when he talked about work.

Finding a job is not difficult now, but finding someone you like is not easy. He has always been disdainful of finding relationships and people who go through the back door, but now he realizes that this society is really like a person who is so tragic. It is really difficult to find a job like him.

"This is how it goes! After your grandfather passed away, no one has sorted out his relics. This time you go back to your hometown to sort them out and relax! "Xia Feishuang was still a little worried about her son. The calmer her son acted, the more frightened she became.

"Okay, I'll go back in the afternoon. At most, I'll come back in one week. I still like the mountains and rivers of my hometown, hehe!" Hong Tianbao knew his mother's worries and was not against her. As she said, I'm just going back to relax. I'm really annoyed during this period.

Xia Feishuang smiled and immediately started making a sumptuous lunch to make up for her son.

Hong Tianbao swept the delicious food on the dinner table and then boarded the shuttle bus back to the countryside with satisfaction. He estimated that he would arrive at four or five o'clock in the evening. Although the seaside city is only more than fifty kilometers away from the countryside, it is basically a mountain road with winding windings and cars are not moving fast, usually two to three hours.

Since Hong Tianbao had memory, he had no father, only his mother depended on each other for life. His mother never revealed information about this. Hong Tianbao remembered that once, he asked why he had never met his father. At that time, his mother scolded Hong Tianbao and then started crying. Now Hong Tianbao was stunned, and he never mentioned this matter since then.

Fortunately, my grandfather and two uncles were good to their mother and son. Hong Tianbao remembered that as long as their mother and son had difficulties, the two uncles would not give any help. The eldest uncle Xia Feilong and the second uncle Xia Feitian were both authentic farmers, honest and the eldest aunt had no children, so they were also doting Hong Tianbao. Only the second aunt was a little petty, a little philanthropist, and liked to be greedy for small gains.

Hong Tianbao got out of the car and walked on the country road. He looked at the orange rice ears in the distance and listened to the birds singing from the forest. He was in a good mood and suddenly wanted to shout out all the depression that had been around during this period.

This village is called Xiajia Village, and the entire village is named Xia. In today's great integration society, such villages are rare.

"Oh! Isn't this Xiaobao? I remember you have graduated, right? Alas! Xiaobao, you have made a fortune, your family has made a fortune. The ancestral tomb of the Lao Xia family is full of smoke!" The fifth uncle drove an old ox, carried two dung baskets, barefoot, hugged his sleeves and pants, looking like a typical old farmer.

"Oh! Uncle Fifth, you've finished your work! This old ox is being served by you! I've indeed graduated." Hong Tianbao felt funny. Uncle Fifth said, "The ancestral tomb of Lao Xia's family is so interesting. Isn't that the ancestral tomb of his family?" Anyway, the whole village is surnamed Xia, and there is only one ancestral tomb.

"Haha! Okay, go to Uncle Wu if you have time. You haven't been to have dinner for a long time." Uncle Wu also realized that he was a little wrong just now, his face turned red, and finally invited Hong Tianbao. This is how the rural people are, simple, enthusiastic, and hospitality. At least Hong Tianbao always felt this way.

"Okay! At that time, you will be able to get the nagging of your fifth uncle."

Farewell to my fifth uncle, Hong Tianbao met many villagers along the way and greeted him enthusiastically.

When I returned to my uncle's house, it was already five o'clock. At this time, the sun was hanging on the treetops of the mountains in the distance, emitting charming golden light. Hong Tianbao felt that the sunshine now was the gentlest, not dazzling, but felt a comfortable feeling.

"Hey! Xiaobao? When did you come back? Why don't you call your uncle so that your uncle can come over to pick you up and see you. You're tired all the way through, are you sweating all the time? Come and take a shower inside. Your aunt will kill a chicken and let your second uncle's family come over to have a meal tonight."

Hong Tianbao's aunt-Huang Lan is from the next village. She is not as old as Xia Feishuang, but her external minister seems a little old. As soon as she came back from feeding the livestock, she saw Hong Tianbao at the door with a layer of fine beads of sweat hanging on her face. She immediately felt a little distressed and a little reproachful, but her face was joyful.

"My aunt, it's not a problem. Look at me, a young man, what's the point of walking some roads? My uncle is also very busy. It's not good to bother him with this little thing."

Hong Tianbao knew that this aunt had always regarded herself as a child and loved him very much. Therefore, when facing this simple farm woman, Hong Tianbao still respected her very much.

"What can he do? Our rice has not been harvested yet, so we are in a panic! But I thought I'd harvested it in the past few days. Anyway, our rice is not much, so I'm not so anxious."

Huang Lan put the bucket in her hand in the tiled house next to the building, and then led Hong Tianbao into the house.

My uncle Hong Tianbao and his second uncle are very close to each other. They are both small bungalows on the first floor, about a hundred square meters. The outside has not yet been decorated, and the inside is only covered with a layer of white lime.

The ancestral house, which was where Hong Tianbao's grandfather lived in the past, was not very far away. It was a large tile house. It was built of large mud bricks and was as high as two floors. Hong Tianbao remembered that when there was a strong wind in the village, the tiles on it would dance like flying knives. After the strong wind, everyone would climb up the roof to pick up tiles, which was very interesting.

In the evening, my second uncle and second aunt came over with a cousin. Everyone had a meal together. My cousin was not young anymore and had graduated from high school. As for whether I could go to college, I still have to check my college entrance examination results for a while. I originally had a cousin, and that cousin was studying in a freshman and second-year school in Haibin City, which was much worse than the prestigious universities in Hong Tianbao before.

"Xiaobao, you are the most promising person in our village. You should have a good job now, right? It depends on your meals at our Xia family in the future!"

Hong Tianbao's second aunt's words were a bit insincere, and even the honest uncle could hear the words. The second aunt has always been unhappy Hong Tianbao is very good at studying. This time she knew that Hong Tianbao had not found a job, so she couldn't help but whine and felt relieved.

Xia Feitian glared at his wife fiercely. Although Xia Xiaofeng was not very good at studying, he was very eccentric and had a good attitude towards observing words and expressions. He went against the honest man of his uncle and second uncle. Sometimes Hong Tianbao thought that the honest gene of the Xia family had been passed down to this kid.

Xia Xiaofeng immediately raised a glass of beer.

"Cousin! I wish you a happy graduation and a great fortune in the future!"

"Haha! OK! I will accept your good words." Hong Tianbao also drank all his glass and thought to himself that this kid would be a waste of talent if he didn't become an official.

At around nine o'clock the next day, Hong Tianbao got up in a hurry. After washing up, he was ready to go to the ancestral house.

"Xiaobao, this is the key to the ancestral house. Just take it and throw away those useless things. They are all old things from decades ago." Huang Lan smiled and handed over the key.

"Okay, I understand." Hong Tianbao also knew that his grandfather had many old things, all of whom were from a while ago. The old man was just nostalgic and was reluctant to throw away many things.

Hong Tianbao came to the familiar big tiled house door. This was a typical southern Hakka building. He felt a little depressed. Things are no longer there, and people are inevitably a little sad.

He opened the large wooden door that had been closed for a long time, suddenly raised a burst of dust and flew in the sun.

The quiet and empty room has nothing changed, but the familiar figure has been missing, and the room has become silent without any anger.

When Hong Tianbao looked at the things in the room, he was immediately a little confused. Many of them were made of daily necessities, some agricultural tools, etc., and the things were really mixed.

Hong Tianbao is a person who is good at classification, and these things didn't make him depressed for long. He quickly classified things, including good and bad, and all kinds of good ones.

It took Hong Tianbao two hours to pack up everything.

He found that most of them were seriously damaged and could not be used anymore, so they naturally didn't want those things.

What interested him the most was an ancient and exquisite wooden box. He had seen this wooden box before. His grandfather said that it was a family heirloom of their Xia family, and it contained an ancient copper coin.

Having said that, Hong Tianbao's two uncles didn't care much. Because this copper coin is not valuable, they once asked someone to identify it. Although this copper coin is simple on the outside, it has no value. No one has seen such a copper coin. It is not gold or copper, and there is no text on it. It only has a pair of patterns shaped like wings. In other words, this copper coin does not belong to the general currency of any dynasty. Can such antiques be valuable?

But every time Hong Tianbao sees this copper coin, he feels moved, just like seeing an old friend who has not seen him for a long time. This feeling surprised and awkward.
