For as long as he can remember, Zhou Hao has asked his father countless times what his mother looks like, how tall she is, how fat and thin she is, but her father always looked so sad just now, and there was no special look on his face, only saying that his mother died in childbirth.

He was cremated immediately after death. Over and over again, from childhood to adulthood, all I heard was such a cold explanation.

Countless times, I asked my grandmother and great-grandmother, but the two elders were also secretive and unwilling to mention it, only saying that my mother was a gentle and virtuous woman, very beautiful, and that's all.

Other than that, there is no other message.

So many times Zhou Hao almost searched at home as if he was raiding his home, but there was nothing else except a jade pendant left by his mother before his death, however, the jade pendant that was kept tightly was also hidden by his father a few years ago, recalling the jade pendant that he often played with as a child, Zhou Hao couldn't help but ask: "Dad! What about the jade pendant left by my mother before her death?"

Zhou Hongmao, who was squatting outside the house and smoking a stuffy cigarette with his back to Zhou Hao, listened to Zhou Hao's question, and his body couldn't help but twitch, Zhou Hao, whose eyes were slightly narrowed, obviously noticed that something was wrong, and said: "Dad, let me ask you, where did you hide the jade pendant left by your mother before her death?"

Recalling the scene I saw in the Xizong Ancestral Hall just now, more than a dozen elders who had seen them as children floated in from outside the gate after the heirs of their families lit high incense, among them there were grandmothers and great-grandmothers, but there were no young women.

It stands to reason that the mother's spiritual position was visited in the ancestral hall, and after the father lit the incense, it should have appeared, but why, no matter how I looked for it at the time, I couldn't see the soul that matched the mother's appearance in my memory.

Therefore, in a hurry, Zhou Hao wanted to light the incense again and see if there could be a vision.

And over the years, Zhou Hao, who had long forgotten about the jade pendant, suddenly thought of his mother because of the incident just now, and then thought of the jade pendant that he often played with, the jade pendant left by his mother as his grandmother and grandmother said.

Zhou Hao, who frowned slightly, already looked a little irritable, but Zhou Hongmao, who was squatting at the door and smoking a cigarette, still didn't reply, and Zhou Hao, who felt that something seemed to be quite wrong, stepped forward, squatted on Zhou Hongmao's side, and asked again: "Dad, let me ask you!"

saw Zhou Hongmao's face bitter, spit out a heavy puff of cigarette, and replied, "Lost it." ”

Unable to agree with Zhou Hongmao's answer, Zhou Hao's eyes widened, almost temperamental, and said: "Mother's only relic, you, did you lose it? When did you lose it, where did you lose it!"

Zhou Hongmao got up and didn't reply, but looked at the sunlight above his head and said, "Hurry up and eat, after dinner, I'm going to sweep the tomb." ”

turned around, returned to the house, and was about to start preparing lunch, Zhou Hao, who also got up and looked at Zhou Hongmao's back, said in a slightly trembling voice: "Dad, are you hiding something from me?"

Zhou Hongmao, who was a little rickety, did not reply, and lightly threw away a sentence: Don't think too much. Prepare to eat.

But Zhou Hao, who has experienced life and death, is accustomed to seeing human feelings, and is a cultivator himself, and has an extremely keen perception of qi, has an intuition at this time, his father has something to hide from him!

But since his father didn't want to say it, Zhou Hao didn't mean to continue to ask, because Zhou Hao knew that what his father didn't want to say, even if the sky fell, it would be useless.

The atmosphere seemed a little weird, the father and son hastily had lunch, brought fruits, high incense and paper money used for worship when sweeping the tomb, and walked towards a high slope outside the village.

On the high slope, there is a resting hall built by all the people in the village and covers a wide area!

Since the beginning of this century, in response to the call of the state, in order to make more rational use of land resources, in coastal provinces and cities, the customs such as earth burial and water burial have been gradually abolished, and cremation has been uniformly changed.

The original hilltop cemetery left by the ancestors was also forcibly relocated and cremated, and then a piece of land specially planned by each village was used to place the ashes of the ancestors, and around the dormition hall, a large open space was left for the wealthy families to build small tombs.

The five-storey building houses no less than 3,000 urns full of ashes.

And around the rest of the church, densely packed, one after another, no less than 500 hemispherical small tombs.

Just after the afternoon, walking on the road, the dense sound of firecrackers from the side of the resting hall could already be heard in the distance, and Zhou Hao, who was thinking about things, did not say hello to the same village on the side of the road much.

The tributes were all visited on the offering table in the square outside the rest hall, and he was about to go up to the third floor to worship the four urns, but the ridicule of several young people sounded in his ears.

"Yo, such a coincidence, rat, are you here too?" Looking back, it was Zhou Xiaotian and Zhou Xiaotian's family.

Zhou Hao didn't have the heart to pay attention to Zhou Xiaotian, but he still muttered in his heart, feeling that Huang Bin was broken by himself, and the matter of Su Zichao in Anshi, Zhou Xiaotian still didn't know?

I thought that after Zhou Yuantang's foot was cured, I would find Zhou Xiaotian to settle the account, but unexpectedly, Zhou Wenhai, Zhou Xiaotian's father, said: "I said mouse, why did you see me and not say hello?"

At this time, with his hands behind his back, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he looked at Zhou Hao with a scrutinizing look, turning a blind eye to Zhou Hao, and said: "How can I say, you and I are also from our own family, and you don't say hello when you see your elders?"

After listening to Zhou Wenhai's words, Zhou Hao, who was about to pick up the high incense and go to the third floor to worship, suddenly stopped, put down the high incense and paper money in his hand, squinted his eyes and looked at Zhou Wenhai, who was full of oil and short hair combed meticulously, wearing a straight suit, gentle and elegant, and extravagant.

Along the way, there are not many people in the village who have been walking all the way, just wanting to cling to this town party secretary who is already rare in the village, and Zhou Wenhai, whose identity is different from the past, is polite, and he shows a smiling face when he sees everyone, and he looks very close to the people.

Originally, with Zhou Wenhai's current identity, there was no need to worry about Zhou Hao at all, but he hadn't seen Zhou Hao for many years, and Zhou Xiaotian was violently beaten by Zhou Hao a while ago, as a father, his face was somewhat unbearable.

Although you are the head of a town, you don't need to be too close to Zhou Hao at all, but Zhou Wenhai's character of retribution when he was in business is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and it is rare to see Zhou Hao, so he wants to suppress Zhou Hao, how much let this kid have a longer memory, let him understand that this time is different from the past, stop bullying Zhou Xiaotian with cats and dogs.

Zhou Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't have the humble demeanor that ordinary people should have when they saw officials, but looked at Zhou Wenhai with straight eyes, and said coldly: "It seems that according to the generations in the family tree, I am the same generation as you, why should I greet you?"

Zhou Wenhai, who was calming his face and waiting for Zhou Hao to reprimand Zhou Hao as an elder after he spoke, did everything he could, but he didn't expect Zhou Hao to say this sentence directly.

"You, you don't have a lord!"

"Honorable elder, according to the seniority, I will call you Brother Wen Hai up to the sky, besides, you are the one who has no respect for the elder, right? My father was there, and I didn't see you come forward to say hello, heh, I don't know how you are the secretary, you don't even know the least of the elders and children, and you dare to come here to teach me?" There is really a father and a son, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, there is time, reflect on yourself, oh, don't forget to teach Xiaotian, don't take what to be respectful and oppressive to others, before speaking, think about your identity, hum!"

Outside the huge resting hall, there was smoke, people were boiling, and the sound of firecrackers was endless, and not many people heard the conversation between the two clearly, hundreds of people came and went in the square, but many people saw the expressions on the faces of both sides, and some good people couldn't help but come over, only to hear Zhou Wenhai smile more on his lips, and said: "Zhou Hao, it seems that you have been infected with a lot of hooligan habits in society over the years?

In a word, it didn't hurt or itch, but it was deeply rooted in Zhou Hao's heart, Zhou Hao, who originally picked up the high incense on the table again and was in a hurry to worship, glanced at Zhou Hongmao, who had already walked up the stairs, suddenly turned to look at Zhou Wenhai, and said, "You, what kind of thing, what qualifications do you have to teach me?"

Hearing this, Zhou Wenhaiden felt a feeling of nausea being gagged with feces, just imagine, for so many years, since sitting in this position, no one has dared to speak to himself like this for many years.

The smile on his face suddenly froze, and he was about to speak, when Zhou Xiaotian on the side took a step forward and scolded angrily: "Zhou Mouse, you don't want to take a bite of anyone you see, and you don't look at your own virtue! Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will make you a waste person tomorrow!"

Zhou Wenhai's expression was distorted, he snorted coldly and looked at Zhou Xiaotian, and showed an apologetic smile to the villagers watching on the side, but only heard Zhou Hao say coldly: "Oh?

After listening to Zhou Hao's words, Zhou Wenhai and Zhou Xiaotian's faces changed suddenly, and Zhou Wenhai hurriedly changed his words: "What is like Yuantang? Hmph, I don't know what you're talking about!"

Although he said this, he was actually extremely frightened in his heart, and as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't wait to pull Zhou Xiaotian away, but he heard Zhou Hao behind him say coldly: "Don't worry, when I'm done with this while, I'll settle the account with you." ”

The voice was not loud, but it was very strange that Zhou Wenhai and his son heard it even more, no matter how stupid the two of them were, they also knew what Zhou Hao was referring to.

Zhou Wenhai, who was busy accepting the clansmen, looked around with fear, lowered his voice and scolded Zhou Xiaotian angrily: "How could he know about Zhou Yuantang?"

Zhou Xiaotian, who was questioned, flashed a trace of ruthlessness on his face, and replied with a smashing mouth: "I guess it's guess!"

After a long time, Zhou Wenhai said with a hideous face: "This Zhou Hao...... Can't stay!"
