Ren Tianfei suddenly brought Zhang Meng home, which made the old Ren family very happy. Don't look at this dream, she is rude and willful at home and at work, but as soon as she arrives at Ren Tianfei's house, she Jian Zhen has become another person.

Not only does she speak softly, her mouth becomes very sweet, but more importantly, she is also very diligent, as soon as she arrives at Ren Tianfei's house, she follows Ren Tianfei's mother Du Yuemei to the kitchen, which makes the old man Ren Zhen's happy mouth can't close.

"What's going on? Tell Grandpa."

The old man was a little excited, and he squatted on the kang.

Ren Tianfei smiled and said, "It's done, I had a meal last night, and I was engaged." On the sixth day of the first lunar month, I will take you to the city, and having a meal with Zhang Meng's family is considered to be a recognition of relatives, and this matter will be done."

"It's so simple? Didn't you say anything about this bride price? You may not know that Huzi is also free love, but when he got engaged, he asked for 20,000 yuan, and when he discussed marriage, he asked for 12,000 yuan."

When Ren Zhen said this, he lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that Zhang Meng would hear it.

Ren Tianfei smiled and said: "Zhang Meng's father asked me to tell you, everything is simple, don't do anything, Zhang Meng's father announced that I and Zhang Meng were engaged last night"

"Oh! you stinky boy has a good life. Being able to marry such a daughter-in-law is also a blessing that you cultivated in your previous life. Come to think of it, everyone is an official, and we are an old peasant. Remember, you must be kind to others, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."

When Ren Zhen and Ren Tianfei were talking and laughing, Ren Haicheng came back from outside. He smiled and said to Ren Tianfei: "I thought you wouldn't come back, it seems that you haven't forgotten to send your ancestors."

"How can it be? Shall we go? Mom is cooking, it should be fine."

Ren Tianfei jumped off the kang as he spoke. Hearing the voice, Zhang Meng came out of the kitchen to say hello to Ren Haicheng. As soon as Ren Haicheng saw Zhang Meng coming to his house, he basically understood what was going on.

"Zhang Meng, we're going to see off the ancestors in a while, do you want to go with Tianfei to have a look?"

Don't look at Ren Haicheng as a rough man, in fact, he is quite shrewd in his heart. He did this just to let the people of Chujiazhuang see that Ren Tianfei brought him back a daughter-in-law from the city.

Zhang Meng glanced at Ren Tianfei, and she said happily: "Okay! I'll go with you."

"If you want to take Zhang Meng, then don't worry. Wait until it's freezing outside, otherwise you'll stain Zhang Meng's shoes."

Ren Tianfei's mother came over from the kitchen and said to Ren Haicheng with a serious face. Ren Haicheng smiled and nodded.

In fact, Ren Tianfei's family is an outsider, which means that the ancestral home is not in Chujiazhuang. Later, after his grandfather settled in Chujiazhuang, he actually managed to move the graves of Ren Tianfei's grandfather and grandmother, which was in a wasteland in the back mountain.

Every year when the ancestors are sent, they all go to the cemetery, and over time, people who don't know the truth still think that Ren Tianfei's family is the old family of Chujiazhuang.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set that the snow outside froze that Du Yuemei asked Ren Haicheng to go to the grave. Although grandpa said that he was old, he never went to the grave to burn paper.

A disc-like sun hung on the mountain, and it shrank its head a little shyly. The mud on the pavement was frozen into hard lumps, and it made a loud noise when you stepped on it. Zhang Meng followed behind Ren Tianfei like a little swallow, one of her hands reached into Ren Tianfei's sleeve, and the two held hands tightly.

Dad and Grandpa walked behind, and the three generations of the family walked towards the ancestral grave on the mountain.

The sound of firecrackers sending the ancestors to burn paper was everywhere in the fields. This means that the vigorous three-day Spring Festival will end with the sound of firecrackers.

The ancestral grave of Ren Tianfei's family was halfway up the mountain behind the village, and when they walked to the cemetery, they happened to see Chu Shengcai, who was limping and limping, walking down with Chu Bei and Chu Nan.

I haven't seen him for two days, Chu Shengcai looks a lot older, in addition to his ugly face, his whole body seems to be arched. Chu Nan and Chu Bei were wearing a white filial piety suit, Chu Nan's face was gloomy, and in addition to sadness, there was also a trace of anger. And Chu Bei is like a zombie with seven souls and six out-of-body spirits, in addition to his expressionless face, his eyes are dull.

"Uncle Ren, do you send your ancestors?"

Chu Shengcai was on crutches, he stopped and asked softly.

Ren Zhen sighed and said, "The matter is finally over, you go home and have a good rest." ”

Chu Shengcai nodded, nodded towards Ren Tianfei and Ren Haicheng, and then walked down the hillside. Chu Nan and Chu Bei followed behind Chu Shengcai without saying a word.

Looking at the old Chu family, who has always been arrogant and invincible, today they have become like lost dogs. Its pitiful appearance made Ren Tianfei can't help but move his heart to hide.

When they arrived at the cemetery, Grandpa and Dad were busy burning paper, while Ren Tianfei and Zhang Meng were setting off cannons on the side. The deafening sound of artillery and Zhang Meng's laughter made this quiet hillside suddenly lively.

By the time they returned to the village after burning the paper, it was already dark. Looking at the black-kneeled road in the village, Zhang Meng felt that he couldn't even walk. Ren Tianfei smiled and said, "I'm going to come back to farm in the future, and you can't even walk, so what's the matter?"

"If I want to come back with you, I can install street lights in this village"

Zhang Meng smiled and tightened Ren Tianfei's arm. This is called unintentional, and the listener is intentional. If street lamps are installed at the mouth of every alley in Chujiazhuang, it will not be a good thing.

As soon as he returned home, Ren Tianfei told his grandfather and father about his desire to install street lamps in the village. Unexpectedly, the grandfather shook his head and said, "Child, put away your kindness first, many people in our village even have a problem with food and clothing, who still has the heart to enjoy this." Even if you install the street lights, who will pay for the electricity? Who will fix the broken ones in the future, and there are still many problems."

"No, don't bother with that. One night, the light bulbs on it, and the wires and all that, will definitely be stolen."

As soon as Grandpa's words fell, Dad Ren Haicheng's basin of cold water splashed over.

Even Zhang Meng, who was on the side, pushed Ren Tianfei and said, "Don't be naïve, there are many places in the village where you should help? Can you help? It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish." If you really want to help the people in your village, then teach them how to get rich. Every family has money, and you don't need to install this street lamp, they will install it themselves."

Grandpa Ren Zhen heard Zhang Meng say this, and the old man squinted his eyes and smiled: "It's good to be educated, I don't understand what fish you have, but I still understand your last sentence." You can't help them for a lifetime, but teach them the skills to make a fortune and let them learn to make money by themselves, so that you can change the entire Chujiazhuang"

"Grandpa! You've got a great brain."

Zhang Meng smiled and praised the old man, which made Ren Zhen very happy.

It was at this time that Yao Dongsheng walked in with a large bag of gifts. He smiled and said, "Tianfei! Uncle didn't misunderstand you, just you are still thinking about the development of our Chujiazhuang."

"Uncle Yao is here!

Ren Tianfei laughed and pushed Yao Dongsheng onto the kang.

As soon as Yao Dongsheng turned around and saw Zhang Meng, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Tianfei! Who is this? Why don't you introduce me to it?"

"Oh! This is my girlfriend Zhang Meng. Working in the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce, if you open a company or something, you can find her, she will definitely help you"

Ren Tianfei laughed and gave a brief introduction to Yao Dongsheng with Zhang Meng a little proudly. Yao Dongsheng took off his shoes and put on the kang while saying with a smile: "Tianfei! Uncle Ben wanted to introduce Nizi to you, but I didn't expect you to already have a girlfriend, it seems that I am one step too late"

"Hurry up and shut up this mouth of yours, it's useless to talk about it"

Ren Haicheng said, took out a cigarette and stuffed it into Yao Dongsheng's mouth. Ren Haicheng's move amused Zhang Meng.

"Tell me! What's the matter? You're a weasel who doesn't give a New Year's greeting to a chicken. If I'm not mistaken, you're not here to greet me, you're here to find Tianfei, right?"

The old man laughed and broke Yao Dongsheng's intention.

Yao Dongsheng lit a cigarette and took a puff and said, "Uncle, can you save some face for me?" I will give you a New Year's greeting, second, thank Tianfei, and third, talk to Tianfei about something."

"Uncle Yao is laughing, I have something to be thankful for. Tell me, what are you looking for me?"

Yao Dongsheng glanced at Ren Tianfei and said, "If it weren't for your phone call, Uncle might be sitting in it now, so what chance would there be to sit here and talk to you." It's really scary to think about it, or is it just in time for you to make a phone call."

"What do you mean that you shouted on the loudspeaker one night to get everyone's attention, and also led the cadres to transfer the villagers of the dilapidated houses, Tianfei reminded you?"

Ren Haicheng asked softly with a little puzzlement.

Yao Dongsheng nodded and said, "That's right, who told you to give birth to such a smart son." It was a phone call from him that alerted me, so four families and seventeen people were transferred out that night. If Tianfei doesn't call me that night, it's really a big problem. You may not know that four people were crushed to death by the heavy snow in Donggou, and the village chief was arrested. and Chu Nan of Bao Village was also implicated, and the deputy head of the township was also removed."

"Ah! It seems that this heavy snow has caused a lot of people!"

Ren Zhen said, and couldn't help but take a long breath.

Yao Dongsheng paused and then said: "I know that Tianfei is very busy, and he may have to leave again in three or two days after the New Year, so I came over tonight and confirmed the road repair with you."

"You can rest assured about this, even if I leave, I will explain this matter to Liu Cheng. Or what I said that night, if you can do it, as soon as the soil thaws at the beginning of the year, we will start work. But if you don't agree, you won't talk about it."

Yao Dongsheng heard Ren Tianfei say this, he hurriedly smiled and said: "We have already had a meeting, and everyone unanimously agreed."

"That's good! I asked Liu Chengli to find the transportation bureau or the township leaders in this matter. Let them find professionals to plan, let's repair, and build a road that can be walked for decades," Ren Tianfei said very confidently.
