There are many relatives of the Huo family, and the entire Huojia Village is related to Huo Yaowen, and there are names on the genealogy, but there are not many people who are really close to Huo Yaowen's family, strictly speaking, there are only about five or six families in the village.

Since Huo Zongxiong's grandfather's generation, there have been many brothers and sisters, and in Huo Zongxiong's father's generation, there are several cousins, and these people are relatively close to Huo Yaowen's family, and the three generations are one family.

And the rest of the people surnamed Huo in the village are basically counted more than four or five generations, although they are also Huo Yaowen's relatives, but if you really want to talk about it, they can only be regarded as brothers of the same clan, not brothers of the same family.

As for the rest of the Huo surnames in Zhongshan outside Huojia Village, they are the same clan.

Huo Guantai's hometown is Panyu, and Huo Yaowen can only be regarded as the same ancestor.

There is still a big gap in the relationship between ancestors, clans, and clans.

The third master has a son and a daughter, the eldest son Huo Chenglong, that is, the third uncle, because he got married late, so Huo Huiying and Huo Yaocheng were born to Huo Yaocheng, who were younger than Huo Yaoguang of the fourth uncle's family.

Daughter Huo Lili married to other villages very early, about dozens of kilometers away from Huojia Village, and she came back to visit relatives during the New Year's holidays on weekdays.

I haven't seen it today, but I want to wait two days to worship my ancestors, and I should be able to see it.

The fourth and fifth uncles are brothers, their father is Huo Zongxiong's cousin, and he is Huo Yaowen's fourth master, who unfortunately died of illness a few years ago.

As for the remaining aunts and uncles, they are no longer very close relatives, their great-grandfather and Huo Zongxiong's grandfather are brothers, and they had a close relationship when Huo Zongxiong's generation was in Huo Zongxiong's generation, but when it was Huo Chengcai's turn, it was light, not to mention Huo Yaowen's generation.

It's almost five generations, can the relationship not be far away?

Other people in the village, not to mention, many people's ancestors are cousins of Huo Zongxiong's grandfather, and when they reach Huo Yaowen's generation, many of them are not within the five suits.

……

After some explanation by the third master, Huo Yaowen figured out the relationship between relatives in the family.

At this time, a group of people around him looked at him, all of them were curious mixed with a little flattering gaze.

Huo Yaowen can also understand this, after all, his own branch has not come back for decades, and the older generation may still know that the younger generation of people of the same size as him definitely don't know each other.

Since I didn't know each other at first, a rich relative suddenly appeared, and it was inevitable that I would have the idea of getting some benefits for my family.

"Third grandfather, I came back this time to see my grandfather's tomb, and by the way, I funded the repair of our Huo family's ancestral tomb. ”

After a group of relatives greeted each other, Huo Yaowen directly explained his intentions, and when he returned to his hometown, in addition to meeting relatives and friends in his hometown, he also fulfilled his grandmother's wish, that is, to repair the tomb of his grandfather Huo Zongxiong.

Of course, the Huo family's ancestral grave will definitely be repaired.

"Well, it's time to fix it. ”

The third master nodded, and he said: "The road of the ancestral tomb is becoming more and more difficult to walk, and it is better to worship the ancestors in a few days, or to renovate the road section." ”

Speaking of this, the third master paused and looked at his son Huo Chengfang and said, "Chengfang, you notify the village director tomorrow, explain the situation, and let the production team draw a little labor out." ”

"Okay Dad. Huo Chengfang responded.

Seeing that things were almost discussed, the third master asked everyone to be busy, and by the way, asked Huo Huiying to clean up a room for Huo Yaowen at home.

As soon as they heard about the arrangement of the residence, the eyes of several women lit up, and the fifth aunt immediately said: "Live in my house, Yaowen, live in the fifth aunt's house, the fifth aunt's house was just renovated last year." ”

"Yaowen, you can come to live at the fourth aunt's house, the fourth aunt's house still has a little bit of bacon marinated last year, which tastes delicious. ”

Seeing the fourth aunt and the fifth aunt coming over to pull him so enthusiastically, Huo Yaowen couldn't cry or laugh, but he still had a smile on his face, and said: "Fourth aunt, fifth aunt, I still live in the third master, I won't bother you at your house, anyway, I won't be able to stay for a few days and have to go back." ”

"Okay...... "The fourth and fifth aunts were very disappointed.

However, Huo Yaocheng's eyes lit up, and his cousin lived in his own house, so wouldn't it mean that he could hear more interesting stories about Hong Kong Island.

"Cousin, I'll take it for you. ”

As he spoke, Huo Yaocheng excitedly helped Huo Yaowen carry his suitcase and walked towards the outside of the yard.

Seeing this, Huo Yaowen also smiled and said to the third master and the others, turned around and walked behind Huo Yaocheng.

……

"Hui Ying, Yao Cheng, have you both studied?" Huo Yaowen looked back at his sister and brother while sorting out his suitcase.

"Cousin, I'm still in junior high school, my sister hasn't been in junior high school anymore, and now she works in a silk and linen textile factory in the city. ”

Speaking of his sister's work in a textile factory in the city, Huo Chengguang was vaguely proud, he said: "People in the village can envy my sister's work, which is not only lightweight, but also earns more money every month." ”

Huo Huiying, who was on the side, saw her brother talking about his own work again, and hurriedly slapped him on the arm, but she saw Huo Yaowen come to the factory to inspect with her own eyes, and the team leader, factory director and others were treated respectfully, where would it not be clear that Huo Yaowen was a big man.

"Silk and linen textile factory?" Hearing this factory, Huo Yaowen raised his head and looked at this cousin in surprise.

"Hmm. Huo Huiying lowered her head embarrassedly and said, "I saw you last time when you came to our factory to inspect our factory, and I was working in the factory at that time. ”

"If I had known, I would have known your cousin by then. ”

Huo Yaowen didn't expect this fate!

While they were talking, the third uncle outside the house came to call them for dinner.

The three of them packed up and went to the front hall to eat.

The dinner in the evening was very rich, the third aunt started to cook it in the afternoon, the chicken, duck and fish were all available, and Huo Chengguang was full of oil, these hard dishes used to be eaten a little during the New Year, but today it is stained with my cousin's light.

Originally, the third aunt scolded her son, thinking that Huo Yaowen would eat more, but he was not very interested in chicken, duck and fish, and he had no appetite after taking a car for a day, so he refused with a smile.

After eating, it was not early, there were no leisure activities in the countryside at night, and the big guys went back to their rooms early to rest after eating.

Huo Chengguang wanted to sleep with him in Huo Yaowen's room, and by the way, he heard more about the outside world, but he was still taken away by the third uncle.

……

On the second day, as soon as the sky was bright, the village was filled with the sound of roosters.

When Huo Yaowen woke up, he changed his coat and walked out of the door.

Standing at the door, looking at a few houses not far away, the smoke scattered in the air, smelling the unique smell of dry wood burning, this rural landscape that has not been seen for many years made Huo Yaowen feel a lot calmer.

"Brother Yaowen, you're up. ”

Huo Yaocheng came running around and said, "My mother called you to breakfast." ”

"Good. Huo Yaowen smiled and followed Huo Yaocheng to breakfast.

Breakfast was also very rich, in addition to the leftover meals from last night, the third aunt also deliberately beat a few poached eggs, she saw that Huo Yaowen almost didn't eat chicken, duck and fish meat last night, thinking that it might be that the conditions on Hong Kong Island are not bad to eat, so she decided to beat a few poached eggs.

"Thank you, Aunt San. ”

Huo Yaowen took the dishes and chopsticks with gratitude, he didn't eat yesterday because he couldn't eat for a bumpy day, but he didn't expect the third aunt to think that he was not used to eating.

This year, chicken, duck and fish are not mentioned, and eggs are not something that can be eaten on weekdays.

"Third grandfather, I want to go to my grandfather's grave to see. Huo Yaowen finished breakfast, put down the dishes and chopsticks and said to the third master.

"Okay, it's time to go up and have a look. Saying that, the third master looked at Huo Chengguang and said, "Chengguang, you take your cousin to the second master's grave to have a look, remember to go early and return early, there may be something at home at noon." ”

"Got it, grandpa. ”

Huo Chengguang quickly pulled the food in the bowl, finished it in three or two bites, and hurriedly got up and said to Huo Yaowen: "Cousin, I'll take you there." ”

The two went out of the house.

Huo Yaowen had the time to take a look at the village.

When he came back yesterday, there were too many people, and they were all blocked, and he didn't look good.

Today, when I take a look at it, the overall condition of the village looks pretty good, and although every house is still an old-fashioned blue brick and mud house, it doesn't give people a tattered feeling.

It is very similar to the architectural style of the village in Tai O, Hong Kong.

Of course, remove the slogans written on the walls.

Like "Think about ancient Mulan, who said that women are inferior to men", "Women can hold up half the sky", "grasp production with one hand, grasp revolution with the other", "work hard, strive for the upstream, and strive for the four modernization goals"......

Slogans like these are written all over the exterior walls of almost every home.

There are also many promotional pictures of special periods painted on the exterior walls of many people's houses, which are full of a sense of age.

It's a pity that Huo Yaowen didn't bring a camera with him when he came back from this trip, otherwise it would be good to take a few photos to keep as a souvenir.

When he thought of the camera, Huo Yaowen thought of his grandma and grandfather on Hong Kong Island, and the two of them should also want to see their hometown.

Touching his chin, he looked at the front Huo Yaocheng and asked, "Yaocheng, do you know where to sell cameras?"

"Camera?!"

Huo Yaocheng was stunned, then shook his head and said: "The supply and marketing cooperatives in the county don't seem to sell cameras, but there is a state-run photo studio. ”

"State-run photo studio ......"

The public photo studio, I'm afraid you can't come to the village to take pictures. Huo Yaowen thought for a few seconds, and then asked, "Then can you invite the master in the photo studio to come to the village?"

"I don't know about that. Huo Yaocheng thought about it and shook his head again.

"Oh. Huo Yaowen thought that she would go back and ask Huo Huiying later, yesterday I heard that she had been working in the textile factory for two years, and she wanted to be more familiar with these photo studios or something, if she could invite the master of the photo studio to come over and take a few photos, it didn't matter if she had more money, she was afraid that she was not allowed to go out without permission.

"It's my cousin. ”

At this time, Huo Yaocheng suddenly shouted.

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw a mausoleum made of gravel and cement standing on a small hillside not far away.
