Two years later.

In the courtyard of the main store, there was a childish children's chanting, 'Home is near the Jiujiang River, come and go to the side of the Jiujiang River.' is also a long-term person, and I haven't known each other since childhood. ’

The gentleman asked, "What do you mean by this poem?"

A girl of 5 or 6 years old stood up and replied,

Sir, I know that this poem is saying that the family lives on the edge of the Jiujiang River, and they come and go along the Jiujiang River, and they are also Changgan people, who have not known each other since childhood.

When the gentleman heard this, he said,

Well answered. Do you all know each other?

Three rows of tables and chairs made of whole wood trunks, scattered 7 or 8 children between the ages of three and ten, the children looked at each other, the girl pointed to the last row of 3 or 4-year-old dolls, continued,

I heard my grandmother say that he should be the son of my little grandfather's youngest son. I don't recognize anything else.

The last row of 3 or 4-year-old male dolls sat next to his father, and the father whispered a few words to the male doll, and the male doll buzzed and shouted to the girl, big niece!

Who's your niece? You're going to call me sister!!" retorted the girl with a red face and sat back in her chair.

The children and the adults who were reading laughed.

When they had finished laughing, the gentleman said,

Do you all know where this is?

The child replied: Xujiazhen.

Why is it called Xujiazhen?

After a silence, Mr. continued: I listened to my grandfather, grandfather, we are a branch of the Xu family, refuge and wander here, the ancestor Xu Gong is a famous minister who has gone through Tang Gaozong, Taizong, Gaozu, and the third generation. Since the beginning of Chenghua, we have produced 21 jinshi here. Xujiazhen has always been an heirloom by farming, which means that ploughing the field can produce crops, enrich grains, support the family, and establish a life. To use this metaphor, reading books can know poetry and books, attain etiquette and righteousness, self-cultivation, and establish high morality. My fifth grandfather, your fifth old lady or five old lady often said that many families throughout the ages are nothing more than accumulating virtue, and the first character in heaven and earth is reading. Do you remember?

Remember. The children spoke in unison.

Then you read it with me: many families throughout the ages have nothing more than accumulating virtue, and the first character in heaven and earth is reading.

Lin Jinxi carried the basket on his back through the door of a room of hibiscus flowers, looking for the sound of the children, stepping on the bluestone road, passing through the moon gate, and temporarily leaning on the door and smiling to see Xu Zeyuan and the children coming and going. Xu Zeyuan saw Lin Jinxi come back from buying vegetables, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly on his unsmiling expression. Lin Jinxi pointed in the direction of the kitchen, meaning that I went to cook. Xu Zeyuan nodded his chin and withdrew his concerned eyes and smile, but he still glanced at her figure walking around half of the courtyard into the kitchen.

Xu Zeyuan's ancestral house 'one house' inn No. 1 store and a 'one house study' for a living, two holidays in the cold and summer classes all day, Xu Zeyuan selected "Thousand Poems", "Hundred Family Names", "Tang Poems and Song Ci", "Aphorisms Lianbi", "Lifan Four Disciplines", "Heart Sutra" and other easy-to-understand and wonderful books and professors. Dolls over the age of 3 in Xujiazhen can come to listen. Gradually, tourists also knew that there were people in the main store of the Yiwu Inn in Xujia Town, Xihedian, who were teaching Chinese culture courses, so they also brought their children to catch up with which class to listen to, and the number of children listening to the class gradually increased.

When the children dispersed, Xu Zeyuan tidied up the courtyard, and Lin Jinxi put the honey-made lotus root, roasted pine mushrooms, and fried vegetables on the stone table in the courtyard, and the two sat down, chatting while eating.

Ah Chuang is going to scold again, and the first store has no income in the past two months. Lin Jinxi served the meal and handed it to Xu Zeyuan.

Xu Ze took the rice bowl and glanced at the thin ring ring on the ring finger on Lin Jinxi's hand, which he gave her when he proposed many years ago, and said,

It's almost your birthday, let's go pick a ring, this one is too thin.

I still think it's in the way of cooking. Master Suijing, everything is a phase, why bother to be obsessed with the phase? Lin Jinxi made fun of Xu Zeyuan's three-year monkhood.

Xu Zeyuan blushed and relieved himself, and said, Fortunately, I still have 6 chances to become a monk.

Lin Jinxi knocked Xu Zeyuan's hand with a chopstick.

Xu Zeyuan's mobile phone ringtone interrupted their conversation, it was a video call from A Chuang, Xu Zeyuan turned on the speakerphone, A Chuang was lying on the beach wearing a mirror and enjoying the bathing of the delicate sun,

Brother, when are you and your sister-in-law coming to inspect it? We're so bored.

Is your business not good? So idle? Xu Zeyuan said as he moved closer to Lin Jinxi's side.

It's not that the people of Cyprus are so good at enjoying life, except that enjoying life is lying on the beach and basking in the sun. Brother, sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about my business, these two months, but your peak season, when the accountant sends me a statement, don't surprise me anymore, the business of the first house and the first store will fall to the sales of the Spring Festival in the summer, not like that.

After Ah Chuang took care of the three stores in a house in Xujia Town in an orderly manner, he opened a house No. 4 store in his wife's hometown of Erhai, Yunnan. So, the young couple summed up, I was afraid that they would have to add the fourth and fifth, so they immigrated, they moved from Greece to Cyprus, and settled here and opened a house No. 5 store. Some people plan first and then act, and some people should make decisions at the right time. A Chuang's family is the one who cares, just do it! A person who has achieved the extreme, knows the bitter and sour, the sweet and the cold, but he lives a good life, which makes people call it wonderful.

Yes, take care, we'll see you when we have time. After Lin Jinxi finished speaking, he waved goodbye to Ah Chuang on the mobile phone screen.

Xu Zeyuan hung up the phone and said, it's better to tell Ah Chuang about our summer teaching.

He doesn't care about this loss, you think about it, can he not know? He always has to call his family. You can just talk to us.

You are clever, and I really have a lifelong trust. Xu Zeyuan leaned on Lin Jinxi's body. Lin Jinxi is 4 years younger than Xu Ze, but he is willing to only be coquettish in front of her. And Lin Jinxi can only vividly interpret the roles and love of daughter, sister, lover, wife, and even mother when he is by Xu Ze's side.

Hold on. Lin Jinxi is now in the role of mother.

After dinner, they usually walk hand in hand along the stone road to Dianzi, or silently admire the moon's cloudy and sunny days, or when the moon is full, Xu Zeyuan will mention his first acquaintance with Buwu, he said that Feihua made him lose only once, that is, the time with Buwu. Or when the sun is still set, they will talk about the sunset dome of Nanga Bhava, and the Feilai Temple in Meri. Although they have been separated for many years, there are still endless topics to talk about, because their souls have never been separated.

Leslie appeared in front of a house of Lin Jinxi with all the rebellion that all 16-year-olds should have.

You ran away from home? Lin Jinxi was very angry.

Hi Mom Li

Can't you be gentle with me? I searched the Internet for the address of a house, and came to you specifically to surprise you. A 16-year-old boy is the enemy of the world.

Come less, I'll have to call your dad or your mom.

If you dare, if you call them, I'll leave.

Where are you going?

You don't care.

。。。

The two of them were arguing in the antechamber of a room. When the children were in recess, Xu Zeyuan came out to adjust.

Lao Ren's son sneaked out by himself. Lin Jinxi introduced to Xu Zeyuan.

I am free, and I have the right to choose freely. Leslie is sensitive and self-respecting.

Xu Zeyuan patted Lin Jinxi's shoulder, I'll come.

He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Leslie and said hello, Hello, Leslie, I often hear Jinxi mention you, I am Xu Zeyuan.

Leslie raised her chin to look at Xu Zeyuan, with a slight hostility, she didn't shake Xu Zeyuan's hand, but patted Xu's palm and asked,

Are you the current ...... of Mom Lin?

Sorry, exactly.

has a vision, much stronger than Lao Ren. Leslie never calls Lao Ren and Ren's parents.

Lin Jinxi was helplessly angry and funny.

It's all here, stay a few more days and then leave. Xu Zeyuan waited warmly and gave Lin Jinxi a look.

It's okay to live, but you have to reassure your parents.

Deal. Leslie compromised.

Leslie slept until three o'clock in the morning every day, and in the afternoon, she mingled around the dolls, absentmindedly listening to Xu Zeyuan talk about Tang and Song poems. Lin Jinxi turned on the training mode again, and called Leslie at six o'clock in the morning to go to Xishan to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables, there is no free lunch in the world. In the afternoon, he handed him over to the uncle's lotus root digging boat of the Xu family on the edge of Dianzi to dig lotus root, digging a pound can earn a dime of Wu Fen, and when he went home at night, he barely got 4 Jiao Wu Fen, soaked all over, and lost an N brand limited edition running shoes in the mud pond. On the fourth day of the high-intensity training mode, Leslie was wilting at dinner, probably tired or having a new understanding of herself, and felt that she was just a snack. So, after collecting the edge, I became more well-behaved, and began to realize that listening to Xu Zeyuan speak Chinese is the most leisurely and interesting thing to live here.

Xu Zeyuan bought another limited edition of the N brand online and gave it to Leslie, about the reason for the evening, Leslie's excited eyes glowed green. Since then, his name is Xu Zeyuan U

Cle Xu. The three of them got along with each other on the right track, and Leslie finally talked about the current situation of Lao Ren.

Since Lao Ren accepted the reality that Lin Jinxi had another love and broke up with Lin Jinxi peacefully, Lao Ren has not reunited with his ex-wife, and is still staging a cat and mouse drama. Lao Ren operated in the dark, and got the project through the resources and connections in his hands, but when he was about to sign the contract, he was too disturbed by Ren. Lao Ren was forced to have no way out, quarreled with Ren Tai, threw the door away, Ren Tai did not show weakness, the two escaped one by one, chased one by one, crazy drag racing, rolled down the window and scolded, there was a big fish dead and broken net. In the end, he was invited into the police station by the traffic police, and the torture was separated.

How loving a husband and wife are, how much resentment there is. On the night of sending Leslie away, Lin Jinxi and Xu Zeyuan lay in bed and couldn't sleep at night, worrying for Leslie, and they were helpless because of the obsession of watching the people concerned ask for it, and their minds blinded by attachment and greed will eventually create an immeasurable sin. At the same time, they are also very fortunate that they know how to be persistent and know how to let go, because being able to be persistent after letting go is the most worthy of persistence.

Uncle Nineteen and his brother drank wine and had a stroke the next day, but fortunately, the rescue was timely, leaving no sequelae, after being discharged from the hospital, the first thing he did was to find Xu Zeyuan, and discussed with him to pass on the ancestral book to Xu Zeyuan.

I've been totaling it for a long time, and in your life, in terms of knowledge and character, you are the only one. Uncle Nineteen said sincerely.

Let Uncle Nineteen laugh, you add it up, if there is really no more suitable candidate, or no one is willing to take it, I will take it, I am not prevaricating, I am really afraid that I can't afford it. Xu Zeyuan's experience of being born and entering the WTO all the way finally washed away his arrogance, respectful and humble.

Uncle Nineteen looked at him with his hands behind his back and looked at the ground again, pondered for a long time, and said, there is no second person except you!

The genealogy was placed in an old rectangular camphor wood box, and there was a bunch of keys on the box, which Xu Zeyuan recognized, and the nineteenth uncle used the keys to open the door of the ancestral hall.

Why don't you open it?" Lin Jinxi asked curiously.

Xu Zeyuan turned around and took out a box from the bottom drawer of the bedside table, which was full of Xu Zeyuan's treasures, he took out the blue striped tie on the top, and there was a ring ruler and a rusty key left underneath. He took out the key and tried to unlock the lock of the camphor box, and the clasp of the key was tightly closed and opened with a click.

The two of them carefully opened the scroll-type genealogy, the silk silk was dilapidated, and the early handwriting was not very clear, so when it came to the fifth grandfather's generation, he did not say very well about the ancestors, or rather, although the ancestral genealogy was still there, the real historical facts and circulation of the Xu family were no longer available.

So the two husbands and wives had more work in addition to taking care of the inn and giving lectures, sorting out the ancestral genealogy and transcribing the visible content to the hard disk of the computer one by one. There is no need to examine the evidence and arguments, at least the fragments are still there, as long as they are still there, there is a chance to pass them on, and the handwriting is not clear and the content is not conclusive.

In June of the second year, there was an endless stream of tourists who came to Xujia Town, and the first house and No. 1 store hung up a sign that the rooms were full, and opened a lecture.

Some people like traditional culture, and naturally there are different voices. The children read aloud in the morning, and the lazy customers of the inn next door were not happy, and they disturbed his good dreams.

I didn't let people sleep, what time was it, it was just ten o'clock.

I'm sorry, I'll be quieter, or we'll put the reading aloud in the afternoon. Xu Zeyuan didn't pull the white and chubby guests out of the hospital, not wanting the child to be frightened.

The white fat man does not move, soft and hard does not eat,

What kind of Chinese culture, I don't understand basic politeness, disturbing the people, I think you are cheating people out of money under the sign of Chinese culture.

Onlookers or discussed or defended Xu Zeyuan:

Some people: Dude, are you here for tourism, or are you here to sleep in?

Some people: the lectures are free, and they also take care of children for tourists.

Some people: Everyone has apologized, what do you want to do?

Some people: This is childless, people with children are not like this.

The white fat man began to tongue and fight the group of Confucians,

Do you call this ignorance? What disciple rules and sages teach, they are all dross, what era is it, and they still teach modern people with Chen sesame seeds and rotten grain, who listens? If you teach your child that, they will listen to it and do it? I really don't believe it.

The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear. State affairs, family affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned. From the crowd came the voice of a childish child, but the words were clear.

Everyone looked for prestige, and a four- or five-year-old boy doll sat on his father's shoulder and recited.

The father walked forward with the doll on his back, shook hands with Xu Zeyuan and said hello,

Uncle, we are in the same clan.

Which room are you in?

I don't know, it's been almost 20 years since our family moved away, and I heard that you are now in charge of the Xu family's genealogy, help me check it.

Yes. This is your child.

Right. I have a good memory, no matter what kind of poem, I can basically memorize it once I read it.

It's amazing, how old is it? Xu Zeyuan took the doll down, bent down and looked at the doll.

Smell the dragon mark over the five streams. The doll thought about it and missed a poem.

He means that he is five years old this year, and he actually doesn't know much about poetry, but he likes it. The child's father was on hand to translate and explain.

The crowd of onlookers marveled at the child.

Will it fly flowers? Xu Zeyuan stared at the doll's eyebrows and asked him.

The child shook his head.

Want to try it?

The child nodded.

We take the word 'month' as an order, I say a poem with 'month' in the first word, you take a sentence with 'month' in the second word, and I will take the third word with 'month'.

Am I going to pick up the fourth word with 'month'?" the doll asked.

Right. And then keep lining up. All right?

Good. The doll's answer was categorical.

Xu Zeyuan's first sentence: Flying mirror under the moon, Yunsheng Jiehailou.

Doll: The bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, and the vast sea of clouds.

Xu Zeyuan: I am wandering in the moon, and my dancing shadow is messy.

Doll: The bright moon on the river is harmonious, and the surface of the pond has no goggles and is not polished.

The nuisance had already slipped away, and the onlookers all applauded and applauded, saying that the child was a prodigy.

The father asked the doll: Would you like to learn poetry from her husband?

The doll looked at Xu Zeyuan, touched the stubble on Xu Zeyuan's cheeks, and said, Sir, teach me everything you know.

The five-year-old doll has a pair of long eyelids and a black mole the size of half a mung bean at the end of her left eye, which is almost to the hairline.
