Chapter 167: The Ancestral Hall
The small courtyard and rooms in my memory have hardly changed.
It's just that there are two more rattan chairs and a TV in the living room, and the TV is a wooden shell Panasonic brought back by Goro, and the outside is well fenced with a cloth, and even the radiator is not spared.
Su Cheng couldn't help but smile and sat on his rattan chair, facing the TV and the small window, feeling relieved.
The smile on the corner of Xu Liya's mouth never disappeared, she took out a big canned bottle from under the TV cabinet, and said, "I heard that you are coming, I boiled rock sugar water, it has cooled, you loved to drink it when you were a child." I turned on the TV and watched it, and there was a book next to it, so I went to heat up the meal and ate it right away. ”
The kitchen is on the other side of the courtyard, which is also the place Sioux City was most familiar with when he was a child.
Su Cheng sniffed deeply, and the whole person seemed to be sublimated.
Outside the door, there was a sound of "crackling" and "crackling" fried pork skin.
Su Cheng smiled unconsciously, picked up the canned bottle, and took a big sip of rock sugar water. The sweet taste almost seeped into the lungs, and the bumps of the journey gradually disappeared.
"If it's just a recuperation and rest, it's good to stay in the countryside. The premise is that there is no need for food and clothing, peace of the children, there is medicine and medicine, and the transportation is convenient......" Su Cheng thought of this, and smiled dumbly, such a request may be simple for Europeans, and the Japanese are about to reach it, but China, it will take another 30 years, maybe 50 years, to see the effect.
"Let's start with me. Sioux City looked out the window at the green mountains and rivers and thought: it is also a huge challenge to make money and protect the environment.
Below the lattice is a writing desk, and next to it is a bookcase.
Sioux City walked over with the canned bottle. Looking from left to right, some of them are familiar, and some of them look like they are newly bought.
The outside of the bookcase is covered with transparent glass, apparently to protect the books, and each book inside is also wrapped in a book jacket, and then the title and author of the book are re-written on the spine in a juanxiu font: Dai Houying's "People, People!". Hegel's "Aesthetics", Pu Cunxin's "Where is the Light", and "October". "Harvest" ......
Sioux City smiled. This is exactly the bookshelf of the 80s. Every young person likes aesthetics, and everyone who has walked through the sport yearns for beauty.
"Come on. Eat something again. Xu Liya took 3 plates over, hurriedly went to serve the food, and said, "You sent me some of the books in it." ”
"Hmm......" Su Cheng smiled a little, and it was a natural smile.
There is braised pork with skin on the table, as well as fragrant pig's tail, plus a plate of mouth noodles, a plate of green vegetables, and a mushroom, it is indeed a rare and hearty dinner.
Su Cheng sat down quietly and tasted them one by one.
Xu Liya looked at it with a smile. Said: "You kid, why are you so quiet when you go home, didn't you be noisy all day before?
"Mom. Su Cheng called out casually and said with a smile: "It can be regarded as having an object." ”
"That's good, why don't you bring it back and see it. ”
Su Cheng smirked twice. Bow your head and eat vegetable shaved rice.
Xu Liya didn't say anything, and only ate together after adding food to him.
Sioux City quickly adapted to the environment and was greatly relaxed. The fatigue and sleepiness accumulated in the past few days, the excitement and worry all came up, and I had a full meal. I fell asleep without saying a word.
Xu Liya covered him with a quilt, watched it for a while, and then went to the kitchen to make porridge, and waited until later, and then called Su Cheng to get up and drink porridge and talk.
The next day, Sioux City was ready for a lazy night's sleep.
Lai went to the window to see the whole light, but he heard the voice of Suoshuo, as if several people were whispering. Looking at my watch again, it's only 9 o'clock in the morning.
Su Cheng thought about it and got up anyway.
When I went out into the courtyard, there were several people waiting.
It's the fourth cousin and the third uncle. In addition, there are several distant relatives who are chatting with their mother Xu Liya while chatting about the house.
When Su Cheng went out, several people stood up and said, "The city is coming." ”
There are also peers, so they shout "Sioux City".
"Good morning, everybody. Cousin, third uncle, this is up. Su Cheng fetched a basin of water, washed up in the courtyard, and sat down.
My cousin used to go to Toying and was also the father of Gorou and Shiro. The third uncle is the father of the fourth sister Xu Feng, who is younger, and he has just reached 40.
Both of them were a little nervous, and said, "Su Cheng, we are here to thank you, Goro, Shiro and your fourth sister are all promising......
Su Cheng asked them to finish their words of thanks before smiling and saying, "There is always someone around to help you, Gorou and they are doing well, you don't have to worry." ”
Seeing that his attitude had not changed, the cousin who looked like an old farmer smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, poked the third uncle with his elbow, and said with a smile: "Look, I just said that Su Cheng is not the kind of person who forgets the township when he has money, isn't it very good, let their brothers help each other." ”
"You're a man. "The third uncle is a relatively shrewd person, he runs a small shop at home, often goes to the town to buy goods, has a deeper understanding of the status of Sioux City, and warned others before coming, but he didn't expect to be sold by his cousin in a blink of an eye.
Su Cheng pretended not to hear it, and said with a smile: "I'm going to go to the ancestral hall to have a look, let's talk while walking?"
"It just so happens that Dad said yesterday that he wanted to worship his ancestors, let's go, let our ancestors also take a look, the seeds of our old Xu family. The third uncle took Su Cheng and left. Although it is not a surname, Su Cheng grew up in Jingshan and did not receive much discrimination. On the contrary, because of her grandfather's love, her only daughter Xu Liya grew up in Su Cheng alone, and she did not receive too many doubts and criticisms, which is extremely rare in this era.
Su Cheng still remembers when he was a child, the uncles of the whole village went out, carrying flat poles and hoes, to find trouble in the neighboring village. To put it mildly, it means that a few splashes from the neighboring village saw Xu Liya who was going out, and they just made a cheap face.
The fight was very big, many people were injured, and some people were sent to the hospital, it is said that the public security were dispatched, but when they turned around, it was the families who sent things to Xu Liya, persuading her not to be sad.
It was those blood-spattered clothes that brought Sioux City's heart back.
Xu Liya caught up behind. Gave Sioux City a slap on his shoulders. The group talked and laughed, and arrived in the middle of the village in a few minutes.
Behind Jingshan Village, is the location of the ancestral tomb of the Xu family, the ancestral hall is slightly built to the front, but it is an antique building, although it is only one floor, but it is tall and big. The windows are bright, not majestic, but dignified.
"Someone from outside asked to build it?" asked Sioux City in a low voice.
"Your grandfather is the big guy. Brothers and nephews went into battle together, and the whole village built it. My cousin said proudly, "I'm a big worker with 50 cents a day." ”
"Got a job again?" Su Cheng laughed.
"There is no money in the village, so it is said that it is a point to give things. Just the time Gorou came back, he cashed in a little, and I still have hundreds of points to put away. The cousin coughed twice, looked at Su Cheng, and said, "We left the workers' money and opened the road." When I came back this time, did I feel much better? ”
Su Cheng looked bitter and said, "That's also called leaving." ”
The results were obliterated, and the cousin said dissatisfiedly: "If it's not easy to walk, then you can build the gray road." ”
"Don't tell me, when I come back. It's to build a gray road for us, one is not enough, we not only go to the town to repair, but also to the provincial capital. ”
"Chengzi, you have to think about it. Building roads is a good thing, there is no need to build such a long road, and now it is precious to build roads......" The cousin was not as happy as he expected, but persuaded bitterly.
In front, there was a sudden heavy coughing sound, and he said, "Chairman Su is willing to build roads for his hometown." This is a good thing, and we should support it. ”
Su Cheng raised his eyes to look, but he was a tall and thin man he didn't know, wearing a jacket on the outside and a shirt on the inside, and he looked like a cadre.
Grandfather Xu Baoming stood beside the cadres and introduced: "This is our county magistrate Ru of Ba County, he heard that you were here and came by car early this morning." ”
"County Magistrate Ru has a heart. Su Cheng shook hands with him lightly.
"Chairman Su returned to his hometown in fine clothes and supported the construction of his hometown, and I should thank you. "County Magistrate Ru does not have the slightest shelf of county-level cadres, at least not in front of Su Cheng.
When the people in the village saw that the leaders of a county were talking carelessly in front of Su Cheng, their vanity suddenly increased, and at the same time, they also had a new understanding of Su Cheng himself.
Just when people pricked up their ears and were about to listen to their high-level greetings, Su Cheng let go of his hand and said, "Worship your ancestors today, don't talk about business." ”
He glanced at his grandfather and entered the ancestral hall.
No matter what the county magistrate Ru is, it is not easy to break into the ancestral hall of others, so he can only wait outside.
Xu Baoming lit the incense in the ancestral hall and took Su Cheng to kowtow.
Since it was not a grand day and there were no elaborate ceremonies, the worship took almost an hour.
Out of the ancestral hall, the county magistrate of Naru still waited respectfully.
Sioux City didn't find it strange. Investment attraction has been around since the 80s. At that time, the only people who had money were overseas Chinese, so the central government and the overseas Chinese offices of various provinces and cities were looking for overseas relations, and after 85 years, there was gradually a group of richer people, and the work of attracting investment was slowly launched in China.
Ba County, where Jingshan is located, is a typical impoverished county, with sluggish industry and backward agriculture, and trade is limited to ordinary commercial transactions. It's easy to hear about Dahua Industry in Sioux City, where will there be impatience.
This was also the happiest period for Chinese businessmen, and the compliments of local officials almost made businessmen think that they really had political rights.
Xu Baoming patted Su Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Let's have a banquet in the whole village at noon, and for a while, you will talk to County Magistrate Ru first." ”
County Magistrate Ru wasted no time in coming over and said with a smile: "Old Xu, leave me a seat, and I'll accompany Su Dong to have two drinks." ”
"County Magistrate Ru doesn't have to, you are such a busy person, you don't need to accompany me. ”
"Entertaining Su Dong well is my main job. No matter how busy you are, you won't be so busy that you don't have time to entertain people. County Magistrate Ru raised his fist and said, "We, Ba County, are counties that want to provide all-weather services. ”
Su Cheng sighed, turned his head directly, and said, "County Magistrate Ru, in this way, do you want to invest, or do you want to donate?"
"Naturally, it is an investment, and the conditions in our Ba County are very good...... "County Magistrate Ru is ready to take the opportunity to introduce it.
Su Cheng interrupted him and said very truthfully: "If you find me 30 teachers, I will invest 1 million yuan." If you want to be a good teacher, you can teach in Jingshan Village. The teacher's shuttle bus and board and lodging, we take care of it. ”
The county magistrate Ru was moved, and he was still reserved in his mouth, and said: "30 teachers, it's not easy to find, Jingshan is too far away from the county seat." ”
"We in Jingshan Village can pay a little overtime, and in addition, you can do a volunteer rotation service in Ba County. Su Cheng smiled lightly and said, "When our Jingshan is built, there will naturally be no shortage of teachers." ”
The magistrate of Ru County agreed, and asked about the highway.
