Chapter 319: [Hometown ancestor worship]
Di Sen will enter a stage of full-speed development on this day. Xu Ning and Qin Zhao both know that Di Sen's development is no different from the trajectory of his previous life. I believe that it is only a matter of time to reach the peak. Some people are winners in life regardless of whether they are reborn or not. Some people rely solely on the convenience of rebirth and do not know how to enrich themselves, no matter how many times you are reborn, the result will not change.
When returning to the imperial capital, Xu Ning continued to be busy in the company. The final stage is almost over. I believe it will be completed by the end of July.
She planned to take the children and walk around the country with Brother Zheng in August. After finally having a summer vacation, she had to take the three of them to have fun.
They have not returned to Xiangshan Village for many years, and the Xu family’s ancestral tomb is there. During the Qingming Festival, they just simply sing incense sticks at home.
Of course, Xu Jianjun and his wife had discussed before that they would go back to their hometown this Mid-Autumn Festival and renovate the graves for the Xu family.
Xu Ning did not make any statement about this matter. If she went back, she would naturally have to accompany her parents, but she would not have the only time to visit the grave.
In the folk customs over there, the daughter is not qualified to go to the grave, only men or women who marry into the house can go there. The daughter is probably always from other people's families and is not allowed. However, Xu Ning is also unhappy to kowtow to those elders, which is not good.
Her purpose is mainly to accompany her parents, and then look at the customs and customs of her hometown. At least her childhood memories are all in that small mountain village, where there are also beautiful memories of her and Xie Zheng.
In mid-August, once the shampoo products were released, it caused another sensation. In fact, every product of Sumi is released now, which will attract countless people's pursuit. At this time, Xu Ning and Xie Zheng have been playing outside with their three children for half a month.
The Mid-Autumn Festival holiday this year was seven days, and Xu Jianjun was preparing to take his wife and children back to his hometown, so the unit had invited a period of extra vacation. Although he was already the Minister of Finance, he would never ignore the procedures he should go through. He was serious and was also a success point for Xu Jianjun to reach today.
In the morning, we boarded the plane to Jiangcheng. The two children were talking softly beside their parents. Yangyang sat with their uncle Xu Rui. They each held a foreign document and read it very well. Xu Jianjun and his wife pressed their heads against their heads, rustling, probably talking about returning to the old house to repair their ancestral tombs.
"If you are sleepy, just sleep for a while." Xu Jianjun said to his wife.
"Okay!" Qin Xuejuan nodded, lowered her backrest, covered her with a thin blanket and narrowed her eyes.
Originally, Xu Jianjun planned to build an ancestral tomb for Lao Yao Uncle's family, but Lao Yao Uncle's family's ancestral tomb was gone long ago.
As a family of traditional Chinese medicine that has been passed down for hundreds of years or even thousands of years, the former uncle Lao Yao also had a very glorious ancestral tomb, but it was destroyed in the turbulent years. Not to mention the grave, there was probably no coffin board. The grandfather of Lao Yao, the grandfather of Lao Yao, was also flattened after his death. He couldn't find it even if he wanted to find it. Lao Yao didn't feel so sad. At least his grandfather was buried deep underground. Even if he didn't know where it was, every Qingming Festival, he would hold three incense sticks of incense in hand and bow to the direction of Xiangshan Village in the direction of Xiangshan Village. The old man in Xiangshan Village had not received the favor of the old doctor, but now, those old people have passed away.
It was already 1:30 p.m. when we arrived in Jiangcheng, the three children only ate two bites of airplane meals on the plane and couldn't eat them.
The children were not picky about food, but the food on the plane was not in line with their appetite. Xu Ning did not recommend the children to eat airplane meals. Therefore, after getting off the plane, they did not rush back to Xiangshan Village. Instead, they first found a restaurant to have a meal and then rented a car back.
During the meal, Xu Rui said to his parents: "We must have a car here to facilitate it. I happened to have a classmate in Jiangcheng, and the conditions are good. After dinner, you can wait here. I'll go to his house to take a look and borrow a van."
Everyone had no objection, so they nodded and agreed.
Xu Rui is talking about the Song Bai family. The Song family has opened several chain supermarkets in Jiangcheng. There are two or three review cars at home, so there are naturally vans.
Xu Rui used to look for Song Bai every summer vacation, and this year's summer vacation is no exception. Song Bai will not be able to return from graduation at the end of the year. After returning to China during the summer vacation this year, he went to the imperial capital Huaqing to study for credits, which was lively for a long time.
I came here by taxi and asked about Boss Song, the staff in the store. The clerk helped him contact Song Bai's father.
When the other party learned about Xu Rui's affairs, he drove a 90% new van to deliver it without saying a word. As for why he didn't buy a new van here directly, the Xu family was rich, but no matter how rich he was, he did not use a van worth tens of thousands of yuan as a one-time use. The Xu family never wasted extravagant and could not do such things that were punished by God.
If they hadn't been with two little guys, they would probably have been able to drive from the imperial capital, mainly because they were worried that the children would feel uncomfortable when they took the bus for too long. Besides, the adults felt irritable for a twelve or three hours of driving. Moreover, they had a lot of people and had to drive two cars, which was also troublesome.
"Thank you, Uncle Song." Xu Rui thanked the other party with a smile.
Song Bai's father waved his hand and didn't care. Although their family was not as good as Xu Rui's family, they had a net income of hundreds of thousands every year. If it were better, it might be millions or tens of thousands of yuan. It was not lent to strangers. This summer, his son returned to China to study credits, but he lived in the Xu family.
"Well, I have a van at home. It won't take any time to lend it to you. Are all your family here? Go to Uncle Song's house for a meal in the evening and ask your aunt to make chopped pepper fish heads for you. The skills are very good."
"Please trouble Uncle Song, but we will not have to wait until we return to the imperial capital. We will rush back to Gaolin Town this afternoon. This time, we will take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to come back to worship and repair the ancestral tomb."
"Oh, this is a big deal. When you return to the imperial capital, don't forget to come to your uncle's house for dinner. Song Bai has troubled you a lot before, so let your uncle have enough fun."
"Okay, I'm sure." Xu Rui smiled and nodded to thank the other party, and then drove the van to the restaurant where he was dining.
At three o'clock, the van took the family to Xiangshan Village.
"The old house may be managed by the villagers over the years, but we will definitely not be able to live in it. Let's live in the guesthouse in the town at that time." Qin Xuejuan looked at her husband and said, "When you return to the town, do you still have to say hello to the town government?"
"That's not necessary. The old mayor is gone. And this time we came back because of a private matter, so there is no need to disturb others." Xu Jianjun said.
“It’s right!”
This was the first time the twins came here. Looking at the vast farmland outside and the low bungalows that they occasionally skipped past, the two little ones lay on the car window, looking curiously at everything outside. This is something they rarely come into contact with, similar to another world.
When they go out, they go to those big cities and rarely go to the suburbs in the imperial capital. This year, they go out for a trip with their parents and go to places with good scenery such as Jiuzhaigou. This is the first time that they have seen such a low house that is almost stretched and stretched. No matter how tall the building is, it is no more than four floors. The development here has not changed much when Xu Ning died in his previous life. It still looks a bit backward now.
Some parts of the country are already focusing on new rural areas.
It was already around 8 o'clock in the evening when we arrived in the county. The two little guys were curious on the way and the car was slower. Fortunately, when we arrived here, there were several restaurants with doors open, otherwise we wouldn't know where to eat.
Before coming, Xu Rui had already conducted a detailed investigation online. In addition, it is Mid-Autumn Festival now, and there are not many foreign populations here, so he directly found the best guesthouse, but the best guesthouse room here is also very simple and the whole family doesn't care.
Xu Rui grew up and his three children were curious. No matter how hard the Xu Ning and Xu Jianjun and his wife had lived, they all had nothing.
Everyone asked for three rooms to settle down. Xu Rui walked around the doors of the three rooms side by side and said to Xie Zheng: "Brother-in-law, let's go out to buy some food and bring it back, or should we go out to eat together later?"
Xie Zheng asked about his father-in-law and his wife what he meant, and Xu Rui took his wallet and Xie Zheng out.
There was no way, and after taking the car for several hours, everyone was not at ease. In addition, Xu Ning had to change the bed sheets in the room, so he was tired after a lot of trouble.
The bed sheets in the guesthouse here must be changed. After they came in, although the sheets looked white, there were some stains on them. It was obvious that they were not changed every day. Maybe they thought that as long as they were not dirty, they could still be used. Almost all those who came here were doing business nearby and passing by, so they might not care.
This is not Xu Ning's pretentiousness. Even in those years when life was difficult, she could not accept such things.
After laying their own bed sheets one by one, everyone sat and rested in Xu Jianjun and his wife's room. The two little guys were already a little sleepy.
Xu Ning took the two children to the bathroom to wash his face, and had to wait for some supper to sleep, otherwise he would have to have a good meal when he was hungry in the middle of the night.
The county here probably has the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the nights are still quite lively now. Unlike before, some young people who work outside take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to return to their hometowns, which has given a slight boost to the local economy.
The two brothers were wandering around the streets, watching from shop to shop. Their outstanding temperament and elegant faces caused a lot of sensation. Some women saw that they both covered their mouths and laughed so hard.
In such a place, it is rare to see such a handsome man, and his aura and clothing all over his body must be either rich or noble, and even fools can see this.
The two packed seven or eight dishes, as well as rice and steamed buns in a better restaurant. Xu Rui even bought a few bottles of beer, and then he slowly went to the guesthouse.
When they came back, they saw what they were carrying, which was ridiculous.
"Why are you buying so many? The food here is honest and full of food, so where can I finish it?"
Xie Zheng placed the folding dining table and plates borrowed by his boss on the table, and directly put the vegetables he bought and the plastic bag on the plate, which also saves the trouble of washing later.
Xu Rui said: "For these five adults and three children, I thought I had to buy more, but I really didn't expect that each serving would be so much."
Although I can't eat too much at night, if I have left this meal, I can only throw it away. This place is not as good as at home. Even if I can't bear to throw it away, I can't eat it tomorrow. Do I have to borrow a stove with my boss for this order of food? It's not like that.
Xie Yang can eat it here. The twins don’t seem to like it very much. The food here is greasy, maybe it’s because peanut oil is cheap?
In short, Xu Ning didn't agree with the child's eating such greasy food. He only asked the two of them to divide a small bowl of rice, each with half a bowl, and finished it. After the meal, he went to wash a few fruits.
The next day, Xu Rui took his parents to Xiangshan Village. They went there to take a look today, and then returned to the county to buy some materials for repairing the ancestral tombs. As for the workers' village, there are ready-made ones. Taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival, they can repair them in three or two days and make an extra money. They should agree.
Xie Zheng and Xu Ning were planning to take their three children to the county No. 1 Middle School and then go to the canning factory.
"Mom, where are we going?" Little Lemon asked while sitting on his mother's lap, raising his delicate little face.
"Take you to the place where my mother studied back then." Xu Ning smiled and pinched her daughter's pink little face, "and..."
Before Xu Ning could finish speaking, the phone in his handbag rang.
Xie Yang opened his handbag for his mother, took out his phone and saw the name on it, "Aunt Zhang Meng."
Xu Ning smiled and answered the phone, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? I haven't seen you for a long time. Isn't it good to call you?" Zhang Meng smiled there and said, "This Mid-Autumn Festival, Jialun and I will go back to our hometown in Jiangcheng. When we go back, we will go to the imperial capital to see you."
"Hey, that's right. I'm also in the county now and am preparing to take the children to No. 1 Middle School. Since you are at home, come here." Xu Ning looked happy, "Did you drive? If not, I'll call a taxi here to pick you up."
"It's... Oh my God, are you back to your hometown? Why don't you call me in advance and say it, really." Zhang Meng reacted slowly and shouted in a low voice, then said, "Then you can go around in one place first, I'll go with Jialun now."
"Okay, wait for you in the first middle, call when you come."
"I know, let's go."
Xie Zheng turned his head from the front and looked at his wife, "Have Zhang Meng and her family back?"
"Yes, it's a coincidence!" Xu Ning curled his lips, "It's good. My parents will come back in the afternoon and go to the market the day after tomorrow. We can take the children over there. But I think I can repair the ancestral graves in the next few days and have a banquet in the village committee compound."
"Dad said it!" Xie Zheng nodded. He ate a restaurant every day, and it was troublesome to go back and forth. It could only be called a mobile banquet, which was convenient.
Chapter completed!
