Chapter 502: Invitation
Early the next morning, Daman went to Da Zhuangzi, where the Wang family lived, to report the good news to his grandfather in the north -- the Wang family had won two more jinshi.
Xiaohu followed Daman to the Zhuangzi where his grandfather lived, and saw that there were still a lot of dilapidated mud houses in the Zhuangzi, and it seemed to be the home of the Wang family of his own clan in his memory, so he was puzzled and asked: "Is there still such a difficult life for our Wang family in this Zhuangzi?" Don't have money to repair the house? ”
Daman looked at the dilapidated houses pointed to by Xiaohu, and replied with a smile: "If you want to talk about this!" I have to blame you, who let you repair their house too well, and a few old people don't want to move out when they have a new house, and they have to live in this house until they can't live in it, so they plan to move to a new house. ”
Xiaohu saw that the layout in Zhuangzi had not changed much from the layout in his memory, so he asked suspiciously: "New house?" How I didn't see their new house. ”
"Their new houses are built on the side of the concrete road we built. Didn't you see it when you came? Right next to the very large drying field where our family was built, there were several rows of newly built brick houses, all of which were our own houses. There are people with foreign surnames who also want to build houses there, but I didn't let them! They were given another piece of land to build a house on. If I knew that they were so cold to our Wang family, I wouldn't have given up the land on both sides of the cement road for them to build a house. ”
Daman was annoyed when he thought of this, when those people begged their Wang family, they said that they were beautiful, and the villagers should take care of each other and help each other. Okay! Their Wang family exchanged the land on the side of the road to others at the original price, and when the Wang family was disturbed by this dog's father. None of these people helped to turn around. is still talking about the so-called fairness on the side, saying that the Wang family should send the dog back, which is the descendant of the Fu family. It's also what I said at the beginning. Don't they know that the eighteen-year-old dog has passed, and if he can't go back to the Fu family, it's not something that their Wang family can do? !
Xiaohu smiled and said very firmly: "Even if you know what kind of people they are now, you will still allocate the land to them." ”
Daman thought about what Xiaohu said for a while, and it was really right. They have a big family here. There is no way to be like the ordinary people, all trivial things have to be taken care of, and even have to be repaid to make up for it.
I arrived at my grandfather's house in the Northland. Xiaohu knew that this grandfather's body was so deteriorating.
"Grandpa! The last time you went to our house, weren't you in good health? It's only been a few years, why can't you get out of bed? ”
Grandpa's eldest son has been taking care of his father at home and heard Xiaohu's questioning. replied on the side: "The old man has been building the ancestral hall since he built it." The body began to feel uncomfortable, and I was sick all the time. In the past two years, it has become faster and faster, and I have asked the doctor to see it for so long and I haven't seen any disease. Those of them who don't know anything are talking nonsense, saying that the old man should not have built the ancestral hall with us, but should have built it to the south of you. It is said that the ancestors value your two houses more and want to live on your side, which is to blame the old man for not rushing to build the ancestral hall in the north."
Xiaohu looks at the situation. Grandpa's health is getting worse and worse, and he can't get better. I'm afraid it's because I believe what others say?! At that moment, he not only refuted other people's fallacies, but also comforted his grandfather and said: "What they said is nonsense, and the reason why we built the ancestral hall here is also because we considered many necessary factors to make this decision." If the ancestors really thought about it for future generations, it would be impossible to think that it was wrong to build here.
The conditions over there are indeed better in all respects than here, but over there we can't take out so many sacrificial fields that are enough for future generations. Only here is the land vast and sparsely populated, not only can there be enough public land available, but there are more and more children and grandchildren, and they are not afraid of having no land to give them to live.
I think my grandfather just built the ancestral hall, so that the ancestors could be at peace, and finally stopped being the wandering lonely ghost. The burden of this day was finally unloaded, and as soon as my heart relaxed, the disease that my body didn't care about came out, and it had nothing to do with the fart they talked about.
However, grandpa, you're just afraid that it's too early to lie down, and the ancestral graves of our Wang family should still be there, right? If the ancestral grave is not moved over quickly, after a long time, I am afraid that it will be dug up as an ownerless grave. ”
The grandfather, who was lying on the bed with weak energy, was so shocked that he almost jumped out of bed when he heard Xiaohu say this. He still muttered, "No! No way! The ancestral tomb can not be moved casually, the original site selection of the ancestral tomb was after Mr. Feng Shui looked at it for several years. Now it seems that the ancestral tomb of our Wang family is in a good location, so don't move if you can. However, this ancestral tomb still needs to be overhauled, if it weren't for the fact that both of us are too far away from the ancestral tomb, the original ancestral hall should be built on the side of the ancestral tomb. ”
Daman also smiled and said, "Grandpa! If the ancestral grave is not moved, it will not be moved! But you still have to get better! If this is a major repair of the ancestral tomb in the past, you will have to take the lead! Otherwise, who could have done such a big thing? ”
Grandpa responded weakly: "Hey! I just can't see anything wrong with my body, so I'm in a hurry! I want to get better as soon as possible! ”
Xiaohu thought that his grandfather was only afraid that he was really old and had problems in all aspects of his body, so he had no way to see the real cause. Daman didn't think about it so much, he just wanted to say something good and bring some joy to his grandfather.
"Grandpa! My Qingzhu and my second brother's Wen Chao also won the Jinshi this time, and I thought about making a banquet here, and invited my family to come over and be lively. Do you think you can get up? ”
After taking a breath, he said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed for a while, but when I'm a little better, I'll open an ancestral hall to comfort my ancestors, and by the way, add the time and rank of their middle jinshi to the family tree." ”
"Hey! Grandpa, you'll have to get better soon! ”
"Good, good!" Grandpa replied with a smile.
The brothers sat for a while, Xiaohu also asked where the doctor was treating the doctor or something, and after listening to the answer, he suggested that they take advantage of this lukewarm time to send their grandfather to the Chunlin Hall in the capital to have a look, and privately planned to ask their daughter-in-law to write a letter of introduction to them and bring it.
They stopped by to go to Goudan's grandfather's house to have a look, maybe it was the spring plowing season that everyone was busy, and Goudan's father didn't come over to look for trouble all morning. When Xiaohu told Uncle Tang that he had sent a message to Goudan to come back as soon as possible, Uncle Tang was full of disapproval and complained. Xiaohu looked at Daman with surprise and unknown circumstances, Daman learned Xiaolong's favorite actions when he was at home before, shrugged his shoulders, and raised his eyebrows in a wink. Get! It seemed that Daman would not give him a satisfactory answer, so Xiaohu asked Uncle Tang directly: "Uncle, do you want to go back to Fu's house?" ”
Uncle Cousin replied angrily: "Do you think the Fu family wants the child to go back?" They want the dogs to go back to be cows and horses to feed their family! If the dog really goes back to the Fu family, what else can he do? ”
"Hey! Uncle Niang was worried about this! The dog's eggs are so big, can the Fu family do whatever they want? Xiaohu has a headache, I really can't figure out that Uncle Tang would think of such a non-musical thing.
Daman also laughed and said, "Uncle! It's not that I said, the dog is not so stupid, and the Fu family has no nurturing grace with him, so he can't be stupid to be a cow and a horse for the Fu family. If you really don't worry, when the dog comes, I'll tell him first, if the Fu family really wants him to do this and that, just say he won't. If you don't do anything at home, you still have to eat well, use it well, and live well, see how long he can hold on to the Fu family? ! ”
Uncle Tang looked at Daman with suspicion and asked, "Can what you say work?" Don't really let the dog be entangled by the Fu family and can't get rid of it. ”
"This!" , this, Daman doesn't dare to pack tickets, because the initiative lies in the dog, not in him, nor in the Fu family.
Uncle Tang didn't dare to admit it when she saw Daman, and her heart sank, it seemed that this grandson still couldn't let him come back to see the Fu family.
Daman and Xiaohu didn't say anything when they saw that Uncle Tang, and they didn't know that she had made up her mind not to let Goudan go back to the Fu family, and thought she was thinking about whether Goudan could get rid of the Fu family by herself. The brothers no longer dwelled on the matter, and only said that they would invite their family to come over for dinner the day after tomorrow.
All the families have walked around, although some of the heads are at home, some are not at home, but basically there are people in every family, and the news of the banquet is delivered by the family, and the two brothers turned their heads and went to the Shi family to walk.
The Shi family was originally the poorest in their village, because Shi's father was a single-family family, with no brothers to help him, and only one son. In the countryside, whether in the rich South or in the barren North, strong labor is the real wealth. Unexpectedly, a once-in-a-century drought made him a family.
At the beginning, they not only brought back money, but also brought back grain and a year's food, which made their family's life much higher than that of other families. Later, the two great-grandsons followed the steward of the Hepu Town School to read and write, but they didn't expect the ancestral grave of the Shi family to smoke, and they actually made the eldest great-grandson dog a showman. Now he is a teacher of enlightenment, and his grandson, daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, and great-granddaughter-in-law are all working in the Wang's factory, and this day has far exceeded that of other families in Zhuangzi. The family's house was built as it looked from the Nandi Wang's house, with brick walls and tile roofs, and many houses that were higher than other people's houses, which looked magnificent. Of course, it will also attract the same Zhuangzi, and influence the jealousy and anger of the next-door neighbor.
Daman pointed out the house that was a lot higher than the Shi family to Xiaohu from afar: "The highest house is the Shi family, and the people of their Zhuangzi secretly hate the Shi family, thinking that the Shi family built the house so high, blocking their family's wealth and destroying their family's feng shui." Hehe! It's all a group of lazy people who only know how to be red and don't know how to work hard to catch up with others. The Fu family is also this Zhuangzi, and they want the dog to come back, maybe it's really the mind that Uncle Tang said. ”
"It doesn't matter what he thinks about the family, as long as the dog is not a fool, they don't care!" Xiaohu said casually, he believed that the dog would not be so stupid, and let the Fu family put the burden of the family's livelihood on him. (To be continued.) )
