51. Chapter 51
"Akiko, I said the vegetables you grow here taste fucking good." Liu Haoran casually ripped off a small cucumber from the shelf, wiped it on his body, threw it directly into his mouth, and took a bite, saying while chewing.
"What, isn't your auto parts store busy? There's still time to run to my mountain. Yan Zhao said while carrying a bucket and watering the vegetables on this small half-acre of land.
"Hey! Where am I as laid-back as you, and I still have time to grow vegetables? However, Akiko, I didn't think you looked like a person before! Why did he put on this robe, and suddenly he looked like a dog. Liu Haoran touched his chin. Staring at Yan Zhao back and forth.
"What do you mean by a dog? Can you talk well? Don't change the subject for me, ah! Yan Zhao casually put down the bucket in his hand. Walked to the front yard.
"Hey, hey." Liu Haoran hurriedly chased after him. said, "Doesn't this mean that you want to take me in for a few days?" ”
"Yes! Say, what the hell is going on. ”
"Alas! Isn't this Chen Qi and his aunt making a fuss in that scumbag's company recently? That guy didn't know what he pulled and transferred it directly to me for 10% of the shares, and you don't know. I am so virtuous, since they have all been sent to the door, how can I let it go. Anyway, it can add to Chen Qi's blockage. Who knows! In this way, Chen Qi has no worries. It's okay to publicize that to everyone, and I found a bunch of bastards to come to me twice a day to make trouble. In addition, his father is now the deputy chief of the police department, so it is useless for me to call the police! I was heartbroken, so I simply closed the door. Out of sight is pure, isn't this coming to you? Liu Haoran said helplessly. However, I don't live in vain, you see such a big person here, whatever you want. ”
"You're here, your mother!" Yan Zhao said. He didn't mind Liu Haoran living in the Dragon King Temple. Although this person doesn't look very reliable, his character is still good, and his morality is also very strict. For his old friend, Yan Zhao felt that there was nothing in this Dragon King Temple that he couldn't see.
"Hey, don't tell me my mother, this is not a second spring, what else is my son going to do! Now I don't know where I've gotten to. Although these words were full of resentment, there was some pride in his tone. If it weren't for the fact that he had reported a blind date website to his mother, how could it be so easy for his mother to come out of the shadow of that scumbag now.
"Just that blind date website, aren't you afraid of being deceived?" Yan Zhao has a black line on his face, can a blind date website or something be reliable this year?
"Don't say it, the guy in my mother's picture is quite reliable. He'd been to River City once before, and he'd met before. In the army, his ex-wife died, leaving behind a pair of children. It's a vacation right now, and I'm running around China with my mother! Before he finished speaking, he saw Yan Zhao and stuffed a shovel into Liu Haoran's hand. What for? ”
"Well, dig up that corner from here and dig out a little pond." Yan Zhao said as he pulled the boundary of nearly forty square meters next to the vegetable field. Ready-made labor is here, not in vain.
"Damn, Akiko, you're trying to exhaust me!" Liu Haoran stared at Yan Zhao.
"Who just said that I can do whatever I want?" Yan Zhao glanced at him casually, picked up the hoe in his hand and got to work.
"Well, then!" Liu Haoran touched his nose helplessly, and followed Yan Zhao to do it.
In the evening, the small pond was finally dug up. Liu Haoran seemed to be tired of becoming a dog, and when he saw Yan Zhao's relaxed appearance, he couldn't help but say resentfully: "It's unreasonable!" I'm busy working in an auto parts store, so I'm not as good as you, an idle person every day. That's not right! Are you digging this pond to raise fish? You live by the sea, and you still don't have any fish to eat? ”
"Why, if you live by the sea, you are not allowed to raise freshwater fish?" Yan Zhao said.
"If you want." Liu Haoran said helplessly.
"Master, well, this is-" Qin Yuan couldn't hide the excitement on his body. Bow to the feast. When he raised his head, he saw Liu Haoran beside Yan Zhao.
"This is Liu Haoran, you just call Brother Liu directly." After all, the two are only ten years apart, so they can't be called uncle!
"Brother Liu!" Qin Yuan said.
"I said Zhaozi, when did you take in an apprentice. I didn't even bring a welcome gift. He said to Qin Yuan again: "I can only make it up to you next time." ”
Qin Yuan is already fourteen years old, and he didn't have the opportunity to go to school in Chenjia Village before, and when he came to Yanzhao, they didn't plan to let Qin Yuan go to school. Second, Qin Yuan is now a good age to be easy to shape, and with Yan Zhao's guidance anytime and anywhere, the effect is naturally better.
"Uncle Shi. Brother Liu. After speaking, Wang Chuan took someone to move the things he bought to the room.
Wang Chuan was originally entrusted by Yan Zhao to take Qin Yuan to buy a lot of money, all kinds of books, clothes and other necessities at one time, and finally took Qin Yuan to take a good walk around the river market, and the relationship between the two suddenly became a lot closer.
"By the way, master, when I came back just now, my uncle asked me to tell you to go back for dinner in the evening, as if I had something to discuss with you."
"What, still going down the mountain." Liu Haoran suddenly exclaimed, thinking of the nearly hour-long journey from here to Yanzhao's house, Liu Haoran suddenly felt that his whole life was bleak.
"If you don't want to, you can cook your own meals. Anyway, I have all the kitchen utensils here. Yan Zhao said.
"Forget it then!" Do it yourself or something, it's not even down the mountain! Liu Haoran said weakly.
"Uncle Shi, how old are you?" Qin Yuan looked left and right, but he didn't see Tai Sui and a few others.
"Well, I don't know where they went." When he arrived at the Dragon King Temple, Tai Sui was like a wild horse on the loose, led by two money turtles, and ran out without paying attention. By the way, two dogs were abducted.
When I returned to Yanjia, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Yan Chengke and the third grandfather sitting at the table.
"Third uncle, third grandfather." Several people immediately greeted. Wang Chuan and Qin Yuan both followed Yan Zhao in terms of generational relationship. Qin Yuan is okay, after all, Wang Chuan is actually not a few years apart from Yan Zhao, so he can't call his parents grandparents! So just call each his own.
"Akiko is back!" The third grandfather knocked the old cigarette stick in his hand and said.
"Yes."
helped his parents bring the food to the table, and a large number of people happened to gather at the table.
"Calling you back is that there is one thing to discuss with you." Yan Chengke said.
"Third uncle, please speak."
"This morning, I received a call from Nanyang. said that he came to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Yan Chengke said.
"Nanyang! Nanyang also has a side branch of our banquet family. Yan Zhao suddenly asked.
"That is, my Yanjia Village is also a village that has been inherited for hundreds of years." Speaking of this, the third grandfather suddenly felt proud. "This one of the Nanyang is the branch of several ancestors after they moved out during the Republic of China, and there is a record in the genealogy of this matter. Yes. ”
"We have a rule in Yanjia Village, and we repair the family tree once every hundred years. Isn't it time to fix the genealogy again? It is only natural that they will come back and recognize their ancestors. Yan Chengke continued.
"So what does this have to do with me?" Yan Zhao couldn't help asking.
Yan Cheng Ke and the third grandfather immediately glanced at each other, and the third grandfather continued: "The key is that this Nanyang team is now quite good, and I heard that it is very powerful in Nanyang. You also know that our group of big men are all mud legs, and we don't know a lot of things, and I'm worried that I'm afraid of losing the face of our main branch when the time comes. It's not that they think too much, but there is always a sense of superiority in everyone's heart from all sides. In this matter, people like Yan Chengke naturally thought that they were the main branch of Nanyang, or they came to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and naturally felt that they were one level higher than them. In the face of the pressure of economic superiority, they naturally want to show themselves more in front of them.
These are all facts, but there is another point, with the wonders of the Dragon King Temple a few days ago, the only thing that people in Yanjia Village who have a little insight want to do now is to determine the identity of Yanzhao in front of outsiders, and it is a good time for the Nanyang Yanjia branch to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors. As for what identity, such as the patriarch.
"They haven't contacted us before, why do they suddenly want to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors now?" Yan Zhao asked suspiciously.
"I don't know." Yan Chengke said: "However, Zhaozi, you are also a person who has seen the world, and it must be better than us to receive them, so I think you will receive them when the time comes." ”
"That's it! No problem. "Anyway, it's also to contribute to the village, and Yan Zhao will naturally not shirk it.
"Just say yes." The third grandfather suddenly said with a smile. "But! You go and receive them. You have to have an identity! Look, how is the patriarch? ”
As soon as the third grandfather's words came out, Yan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and Yan Da and Yan Ma next to him were also surprised, and Yan Da immediately said: "No, there are more senior people in the village, how can you be the patriarch at Zhaozi's age." "Come to think of it, in the eyes of Father Yan's son, in addition to age, it is completely okay to be qualified as a patriarch.
"That's it, third grandfather, you are laughing, where can I take responsibility. Isn't that a joke for others to see? Yan Zhao was also helpless, he didn't think that they had this idea.
"What's wrong with Akiko? In terms of ability, in terms of prestige, the person in the village is comparable. Yan Cheng Ke said suddenly. With Yan Zhao's medical skills, he cured all kinds of emergencies of the people in Yanjia Village, who dared to say a word of gossip in Yanjia Village.
"But—" Yan Zhao wanted to say something.
"It's nothing, today, you just don't have to be right. It was our unanimous decision to tie you to the banner of my Yanjia Village. The third grandfather said immediately.
Everyone present immediately looked at the third grandfather. Wocao, why can you even say this, third grandfather. Can you be a little more subtle?
With all that said, Yan Zhao has nothing more to say. I had to say, "Then I'll give it a try." ”
The third grandfather suddenly burst into laughter. completely ignored the word "try" in Yan Zhao's words.
"That's good. The people of Nanyang will arrive in ten days, Akiko, you have to prepare. Yan Chengke said.
"Didn't you call today? How can it be ten days later? ”
"Oh, they also want to relocate a few ancestors to the ancestral grave." The third grandfather replied casually.
"Move the grave, third grandfather, do we have a grudge against them?" Thinking of moving the grave, Yan Zhao couldn't help but think of Qin Shi. He just used the excuse of moving the grave to collapse Shiyang Village in one fell swoop. So he asked subconsciously.
"Well, why do you think so, they are all Yan family, and there will be enmity with us." The third grandfather looked at Yan Zhao and said in surprise.
"Oh, that's good." Yan Zhao touched his nose, it seemed that he was thinking too much.
