"Third brother?" The old man in Tang costume was also very excited when he saw the old patriarch.

When people are old, they are always nostalgic, he has been thinking about the fallen leaves and returning to his roots for so many years on the treasure island, thinking about all kinds of things when he was young, watching the old people around him go, and always thinking of his relatives in his hometown.

Over the years, the situation in Baodao and the country has changed repeatedly, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, and his identity is also destined not to be like other people, casually recalling, if it weren't for the fact that the situation has eased a lot in recent years.

He probably has no hope of returning to his hometown again.

"It's me, it's me!"

The old patriarch held the hands of the old man in Tang costume, and was speechless with excitement: "I thought I wouldn't be able to see you in my lifetime, it's really God who hangs the curtain, and I can still see you before I enter the earth, by the way, what about Uncle Fourteen, Brother Meng, Brother Ye Zi, why didn't they come back?"

There were not many people who went to Baodao back then, and they were the most promising clansmen of the Song family, and because of the departure of this group of clansmen, the Song family almost lost a generation of glory.

"They're all dead!"

The old man in Tang costume sighed and said: "Uncle Fourteen got a serious illness in the second year of going to Treasure Island, and went, when he was dying, he still thought about it, and wanted to be buried back in his hometown, Brother Meng went in eighty-five years, and when Brother Ye Zi was ninety-three years old, he had pneumonia and couldn't hold on for a few months, so he went, and the person who left that year is now the only one left!"

"That's right, I'm almost ninety this year, it's already good to see you again, you should be eighty this year, I remember, the year you left, it was 1947, and my daughter-in-law couldn't marry, so I had to go out with Uncle Fourteen, I really didn't expect that you would never come back!"

The old patriarch cried and laughed, sad and happy: "For so many years, I have been looking forward to one of you coming back to see, and it can be regarded as making me wait, even if I die today, I am worthy of my ancestors!"

"I had an illness last year, and I almost didn't survive it, and I didn't come back to see my hometown when I was afraid of dying, but I just got through it, and I thought, why should I come back to see it!"

"Father, your heart is not good, you can't be too excited!"

A middle-aged man in a tunic stepped forward and helped the old man in a Tang suit.

"Got it, got it!"

The old man in Tang costume was a little impatient, and then said to the old patriarch: "Third brother, this is my youngest son, Song Hui!"

"It's called Uncle San, it's dumb!" The old man in Tang costume didn't look very good-tempered, and he slapped the middle-aged man in a tunic suit.

"Sanbo!"

Song Hui, a middle-aged man in a tunic suit, was very depressed, there were so many things in Baodao, but he wanted to come back to find guilt, he couldn't figure it out, what his father thought.

"Well, the children have grown so big!" said the old patriarch with a sigh.

"Yes, I went over there, it seems that we all feel that we can't come back, just over there, the one over there is a fourteen-year-old grandson of the only seedling, and the fourteenth uncle left behind is a posthumous son, and now he has a bit of an identity over there, he can't be as free as an old guy like me, and he can't come back if he wants to!"

The old man talked a lot, and the old man in Tang costume pulled the old patriarch to chatter:" Brother Ye Zi, you also know, is very flowery, married a three-room daughter-in-law, he counted him as the most powerful in spending, Brother Meng has never married a daughter-in-law in his life, so I don't know who the person he is thinking about is, we also want to find one for him, but he just doesn't want to, he wants to come back all his life, but he didn't come back when he died, the big dog is the worst, he went over there, and he got into trouble in a few days, for a woman, he killed the head of an army, he was wanted, and the fourteenth uncle couldn't save him, and then he fled to a foreign country, we have no news, but the year before last, he seems to have sent some news back from the United States, I heard that he settled in the United States, and I don't know the specific situation, I didn't want to deal with him, but he was an old man, and he always wanted to meet the old man before, so I asked people to go to the United States to inquire, but there was no news, but I found the leopard, and the leopard originally left the mainland with the American ship, but I didn't expect to go to the treasure island, and went directly to the United States......"

"If the time continues to be delayed like this, it won't work!" The Song family's generation of people, there is only one old patriarch left, basically no one knows the people of Baodao, watching the old patriarch and the old man in Tang costume of Baodao chatting for less time, a little anxious.

"Shanzi, you go and call the old patriarch, go to Longniu Mountain to sweep the tomb first!"

In the end, the task of interrupting their conversation fell on Song Shan, who let the entire Song clan know that the old patriarch's favorite was Song Shan.

Song Shan silently nosed, stiffened, and walked up: "Patriarch, why don't we go and sweep the tomb and come back first, and then have a long talk?"

"That's right!"

The old patriarch was originally talking about the rise, nostalgic for the old days, his mood was fluctuating, seeing someone interrupting, there was already some angry rhythm, seeing that it was Song Shan, but he suppressed his temper a little, this child who can make the family prosperous, he is very tolerant: "Sixth, let's go to the tomb first, so many years, you have not come back, the tomb of the seventh uncle and his wife is also near Longniu Mountain, the seventh uncle thought that you could come back, and waited under the banyan tree at the head of the village every day, after all, he didn't wait!"

"When my father and mother died, I was fortunate to have your help in managing it, we children are really unfilial!"

The old man in Tang costume remembered that he would not return to the treasure island, and he would not even be able to send the death of his parents to the end, and he felt a little sad when he thought about it.

Hundreds of people went to Longniu Mountain in a hurry.

The tombs in Longniu Mountain have changed greatly, last year, most of the tombs here were earthen tombs, all overgrown with weeds, but this year, the tombs located on the mountain are all stone tombs.

Last year, in addition to the ancestral hall of Xiuzong, it was the tomb group, this mountain, which was the tomb of the Song family.

A habitat for generations of ancestors.

"I haven't been back for so many years, I don't recognize it!"

The old man in Tang costume stood in front of the tomb, and said in a low voice to the Song family from Baodao behind him: "You children, give me a good look and worship, this is the tomb of the ancestors, and the root of our Song family!"

"Yes, Grandpa!"

"Sixth Grandpa, we know!"

The young people of Baodao answered very perfunctorily, most of them succumbed to the power of the old people, and under the atmosphere in which they grew up, it was difficult for them to have a sense of belonging to the mainland, so they lacked a sense of identity even if they had roots in the mainland.

Not to mention them, even the middle-aged Song returned to the second generation of the Song family who went to Treasure Island, and they lacked recognition of the family.

"You guys!" the old man in Tang costume shook his head, he didn't know what these children thought in their hearts, if he hadn't insisted, I'm afraid he wouldn't have returned to his hometown to sweep the grave this year.

This year is much better than last year, last year was walking, this year Song Shan at least chartered five minibuses waiting here, back and forth are by car, although it took a lot of time to sweep the tomb, but the time to go back and forth is not much, back to Fengsheng Village, only a little.

The ancestral hall meal was opened.

It was lunch.

"Third brother, the government of the mainland has done a good job over the years!" The old man in Tang costume spoke to the old patriarch at the banquet: "Panshi Mountain is separated by abundant entry and exit, and it takes a lot of effort to build a tunnel out, I wanted to come back and give back to my hometown, hoping to build a road in and out for my hometown, but I didn't expect that someone with such a big arm dug up the rock mountain and opened a tunnel, not to mention, the road outside is also well repaired!"

"The government is good, the end of the war back then, let us have a bite to eat, these years of reform and opening up, economic development, we ordinary people have lived a good life!" The old patriarch said: "But our Fengsheng Village has today, but we rely on our own!"

The old patriarch waved his hand and called Song Jiang and Song Shan over from the table next to him: "Sixth, this is the unicorn of our Song family, Song Jiang, Song Shan, they are the most outstanding children in our Fengsheng Village for so many years, the tunnel, the road to the outside, and the current development of the village are all controlled by them!"

"Song Jiang, Song Shan, Jiang Shan?"

The old man in Tang costume squinted, suddenly became a little smart, and asked, "What does Jiangshan grain and oil have to do with you?"

He was able to come back this time, and found a reason to promote cross-strait economic development and cooperation, and the madness of Jiangshan grain and oil in the southeast market attracted the attention of Xingsheng Food, an enterprise from the northwest, which aroused the interest of Xingsheng Food from Baodao.

He took advantage of the cooperation with Jiangshan Grain and Oil to embark on the return road to the northwest.
