Chapter 53: The Ancestral Temple
In the evening, Lan Jiawei changed into a national costume and Chiyo also changed into a kimono, and the two participated in the Oriental banquet held by the hotel in the villa, and everyone was once again amazed by the bride who pulled up her hair and wore a kimono.
After the wedding, Lan Jiawei and his wife bid farewell to Mike and others one after another, and went to China and Japan to worship their ancestors according to the requirements of their parents.
Lan Dad and Lan Ma returned to the farm in the RV, and the driver also completed the task and returned to the company in Boise.
Because there are more people, Lan Jiawei simply chartered a plane, and after getting on the plane, Li Cheng began to talk to him in front of him about milk powder, "Fourth, the quality of our milk powder is so good that I have nothing to say, it was a little deserted in the early stage, and now hK and Baodao and other places are about to sell out, and it won't be long before the profits in the first quarter can be distributed."
Lan Jiawei also had relevant information, and nodded: "I have already purchased another batch of Dutch cows, and they will enter the market soon, and the current milk source is not unsellable, it is not enough."
Li Cheng leaned back, "Fourth, I want to buy a house in the United States, I think San Francisco is really good, we will be close in the future"
"That's really a good thing, I hope we can all develop together", after speaking, he glanced at Du Yu who was a little farther away
"Don't look at him, I have the opportunity to help him contact the universities in the United States, it's stupid to read", Li Cheng shook his head
The two stopped talking, Lan Jiawei glanced at his wife next to him, the two held hands, and they both closed their eyes to rest.
After the plane arrived in the magic capital, the husband and wife said goodbye to their classmates one by one, and then followed their uncle Cheng Wu's family to transfer to the plane to H City.
This time, it took more than an hour to arrive at Lan Jiawei's hometown, sitting on the rental, looking at the familiar town, Lan Jiawei had mixed feelings.
After his uncle's family sent Lan Jiawei to the newly renovated villa, they went home to rest. Chiyo likes the green mountains and green waters of H City, "Honey, your hometown is beautiful"
Putting his arms around his wife, "Yes, my dear, her forest cover is very high, more than seventy percent"
After a night's rest, the two of them fully recovered, and after having dinner with their uncle, they went to visit their grandmother, Lan Jiawei had already told his wife about his grandmother's remarriage, Chiyo can understand very well, "There is also the right to pursue happiness in old age, it's nothing"
After coming out of his grandmother's house, Lan Jiawei took his wife to see the compound where he grew up and told her which one was his home. Coincidentally, I happened to run into Mr. Ma, who was already the principal, and his wife.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Wei? You're back? How are your parents after they went to the United States? ”
"Yes, Mr. Ma, they live with me now and are doing well"
"Oh, this pretty girl is your girlfriend? I really didn't expect Xiao Wei to be so promising, my son is in Canada, not far from you, right? ”
"Teacher Ma, she is my wife Chiyo Tachibana, Chiyo This is Teacher Ma, Canada, it's still a little distance"
"Ouch, where's the Japanese girl, wife? Married? It's so fast, you're so big in a blink of an eye."
Lan Jiawei has no impression of Teacher Ma, except for beating his son when he was a child and quarreling with his parents. After greeting for a while, I was ready to leave. But after a while, the uncles and aunts in the yard all gathered around and asked gossipingly, and Lan Jiawei and his wife sent all the candy brought back from the United States.
When they learned that Lan Jiawei bought a farm and started a business in the United States, they all said that Mr. Lan was really blessed, and when they heard that Lan Jiawei was married and came back to worship his ancestors, they were very interested in letting them leave to do business.
From afar, the couple was still listening to the uncles and aunts discussing, envious. Chiyo smiled at this time, "You guys here are really enthusiastic"
Lan Jiawei smiled awkwardly: "They just have nothing to do after retirement, I'm used to it"
Since the ancestor worship plan of the two was a month, Lan Jiawei took his wife to visit the antique old street again before setting foot on the road to the ancestral shrine on the third day.
Due to his familiarity with the surrounding environment, Lan Jiawei took Chiyo into a small road built during the Republic of China, took out the Bugatti from the ring, and followed various paths to avoid the traffic police and go to the ancestral shrine 50 kilometers away.
Chiyo likes the scenery on the road very much, has no love for new buildings, and likes the ancient buildings with black tiles and white walls the most. After putting the car in the ring, the two entered the village holding hands.
Seeing that the two of them were extraordinary, the villagers were all pointing and pointing, but they didn't dare to surround them, and when they walked to the ancestral hall, Lan Jiawei found that there was a sign of a cultural protection unit at the door, and there was a small charging point.
Ignoring those, Lan Jiawei took his wife and walked inside, several villagers didn't hold back any longer, and came up to charge the entrance fee for the two, Lan Jiawei looked at them coldly: "Money is a trivial matter, but this is my family's ancestral shrine, why should I pay when I go in?" ”
Several villagers did not do anything, blocking the young couple. After a while, an elderly man was approached, "Young man, you said that this is your family's ancestral shrine, what evidence do you have?" ”
Lan Jiawei handed his ID card to the old man, "Uncle, my grandfather's name is Lan Boyun, and my father's name is Lan Qing."
The old man looked at Lan Jiawei in surprise, and returned the certificate after reading it: "Are you Aqing's son?" Child, I'm your uncle, my name is Lan Hongbing, Aqing is not very tall, why is he so tall when he has a son? ”
Then he waved his hand to disperse all the villagers: "Get out of the way, he is my cousin's grandson, worship the ancestor and ask for a fart money", after speaking, he took Lan Jiawei's hand, "Let's go, child, let's go in"
After Lan Jiawei and Chiyo followed their uncle in, they found that the ancestral shrine seemed to have been repaired, with white walls and black tiles, three entrances, crossed the tall threshold, and bent a few times along the corridor to a patio, which was a huge hall of Sensen.
Lan Hongbing looked at Lan Jiawei and Chiyo, "Child, are you getting married to worship your ancestors?" ”
Lan Jiawei has great respect for this enthusiastic uncle: "Yes, uncle, this is my wife Chiyo Tachibana, Japanese-American, we just got married, and we came to worship our ancestors on the orders of my father."
Lan Hongbing's eyes lit up: "Child, are you going to the United States?" Seeing Lan Jiawei nodding, he continued: "My Lan family has no land, and the ancestral tomb of the highway built a few years ago has also been flattened, only this ancestral shrine remains, and people with surnames outside the village occupy our land, but the surname Lan is not dead, the ancestral shrine will not fall, child, have you taken root over there?" ”
Lan Jiawei replied very respectfully: "Uncle, my father invited the tablet of my ancestors and put it on the farm I bought myself, which is considered to have taken root."
The uncle patted Lan Jiawei on the shoulder, "Okay, my Lan family is the Wuxi barbarians of the Han Dynasty, and wherever they go to root is home, it can be regarded as the protection of the ancestors, and my Lan family is endless", after speaking, he smiled at Chiyo: "Children, go and worship the ancestors"
Lan Jiawei and Chiyo took the incense that the clan uncle didn't know where to find it, lit it, and respectfully put incense and bowed to the portrait of the ancestor in the middle of the hall.
After worshipping, Lan Jiawei and the two wanted to leave, but the blue and red soldiers refused to let them live or die, so they had to drag the two home for lunch. It didn't take long for all the remaining Lan clansmen in the village to rush over, and Lan Jiawei looked at it with a sour heart. In a village of a few thousand people, there are less than a few dozen people.
Lan Hongbing may be the current patriarch, the family is not small, the surname Lan is huddled together in the village, each family takes vegetables to make up for lunch, and helps Lan Jiawei calculate his seniority on the wine table, but I didn't expect Lan Jiawei's seniority to be quite high, and the old man who is dozens of years old has called him uncle.
Everyone is very envious of Lan Jiawei's family, most of them work in the city and farm in the village, and they also praise Lan Jiawei's blessings for Chiyo's beauty. After feeling the enthusiasm of the family, Lan Jiawei had some worries in his heart, and wanted to do something for them, regardless of Lan Hongbing's repeated refusal before saying goodbye, he stuffed all the more than 100,000 soft sister coins in cash to the clan uncle, as the maintenance fee of the ancestral shrine or distributed to the clansmen.
After returning to H City, Lan Jiawei and his wife enjoyed a warm dinner in a small villa that felt good, using ingredients brought from the United States. After resting, I went to H Mountain for two days, although there were more people, but because Chiyo is an American citizen, so I walked through the VIP channel, which did not affect the mood.
Lan Jiawei used to have difficulties at home, although he had never come to play recently, the two left a lot of photos on this beautiful mountain, and Chiyo planned to take the child again when the child grew up.
After saying goodbye to his uncle Cheng Wu's family, the two flew to Beijing and planned to play for a few days before going to Japan.
The first two days in Beijing were still very happy, visited the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and went to Antianmen to go around. Unexpectedly, on the third day, trouble finally came, because Chiyo was too beautiful, when they came back from visiting the Ming Tombs to have dinner at a high-end restaurant, several guys like sons and brothers came over.
Regardless of Lan Jiawei, who was looking at them coldly, one of the anxious guys said to Chiyo: "Beauty, give face, let's sing together"
Lan Jiawei stood up, and then said coldly: "Stay away from my wife", and several sons and brothers became even more energetic: "I'm going to play with your wife, what's the matter?" Trash", "Look at you like that, bear bag", "As long as there are a few women that our brother likes in Sijiu City, that's her blessing".
Lan Jiawei just wanted to step forward, and several bodyguards behind his son-in-law came up to block him, Tachibana Chiyo stood up and grabbed her husband: "Honey, this is not the United States, let's leave first", Lan Jiawei saw that those bodyguards were all severely trained, and it was estimated that they were either special combat soldiers or senior bodyguards, there were many people here, and it was really not easy to do it, so he nodded and agreed with his wife's advice.
The culture of several sons and brothers is not low, and they heard that the two of them were talking in English very authentically, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, in case the other party was a foreign Chinese, their father couldn't do anything if something happened. Seeing the two drift away, they both complained to each other, and then continued to drink and have fun.
