"Xingxing, thank you, Auntie likes ...... very much" Aunt Tan Lin, who was dressed in a long gown and a flower skirt, looked in front of the mirror, full of joyful strokes for a long time, and she looked like a little girl in a princess dress, without any adult stability at all.

"Auntie, if you like it......" Seeing that Aunt Tan Lin liked it, Zheng Zhishang, who was still a little worried in his heart, was also slightly relieved.

It's not a dress made for Aunt Tan Lin, if it is placed in the 21st century in the previous life, it will definitely be considered conservative, and even a little dirty, but when it comes to Aunt Tan Lin, it does not have a conservative feeling, but a dignified and generous attitude.

Zheng Zhishang also wanted to make the dress made for Aunt Tan Lin more novel and trendy, but just like that, because of some waists, it was also modified by Grandma Zhong. If you think about it in your previous life, you can understand that the current social atmosphere is not as open as it was in the 21st century in your previous life, and if you show a little bit of meat, you will be drowned by someone's spit.

For a country with a backward economy and most of them have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, clothes are still only enough to be worn, and as for whether they are beautiful or not, it is not so important. Don't you know, in many places, there are still places where the family takes turns to wear a pair of pants?

People who chase after the beauty of their clothes, in the whole country, are still very few people who do not worry about eating and drinking, so they will do this. But fashion, trend, or whatever, basically don't have this concept.

"Don't stink there, come and eat fruit...... Yaya, this is the biggest one for you......" Grandma Zhong came over with a fruit bowl, picked a big pear and a little girl Lin Yu from the fruit bowl, and said with a smile: "You can't eat barbecue in the future......

Since she got sick and had a fever in the middle of the night last time, for the little girl Lin Yu, barbecue or anything has nothing to do with her, whether it is Zheng Zhishang or Grandma Huang, she is not allowed to touch those things. Even Zhong Tongqian was severely beaten by Grandma Zhong.

even restricted Zhong Tongqian's freedom by half, so that she had no chance to sneak out to eat barbecue with the little girl Lin Yu.

However, to Zheng Zhishang's surprise, Zhong Tongqian did not complain about this, she was very well-behaved and obedient, and she never took Lin Yu out secretly, and obediently played with Lin Yu at home. It became impossible for Zheng Zhishang to believe that this would be the little girl he knew.

Could it be that the little girl Zhong Tongqian is specifically aimed at herself.

"Thank you, grandma, Yaya knows......" Although she was a little unwilling, the little girl Lin Yu still thanked her sullenly:

"What do you have to be depressed about, it's you who can't eat, even I am restricted......" Zhong Tongqian bit the pear and said vaguely:

"You think you can eat it, fried and fire-grilled things, if you eat too much, it will hurt your liver and ......" Grandma Zhong gently knocked on Zhong Tongqian's head, and said with a slight anger:

"Ah, I'm alright, am I?" Zhong Tongqian muttered a small mouth, and muttered unwillingly.

"Aunt Zhong, how are you going to spend July 15?" Aunt Tan Lin suddenly asked:

The fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is the Chinese Ghost Festival, and according to legend, the king of Hades will go to heaven to participate in the heavenly court on that day, so the underworld will also have a day off, and the ghost door will be opened, so that the ghosts of the underworld can go to the yang world to see their relatives or something.

Speaking of which, it is also a festival for relatives to pay tribute to the deceased in the family.

However, in some places, July 15 is not only Halloween, but also a small year, which means that half of the year has passed. It will also be held at home, inviting relatives and friends to gather at home and have dinner as guests.

In the past, when the family was not separated, before July, some guests would come to the house, including relatives such as aunts, as well as some elderly people who were immigrants from southern Fujian and had the same surname Zheng.

And every time grandpa arrives at this time, there are more opportunities to go out as a guest. At first, Zheng Zhishang didn't understand very much, because the locals were extremely cold about July 15, and there was no way to celebrate.

In the evening, on the side of the road in front of the house, light incense, burn some paper, and chant a few mantras such as "Go home, come in and see ......" or "Where the family has moved, don't find the wrong door......".

It wasn't until later that Zheng Zhishang learned from his grandmother why there were two festivals in the same place, and the two festivals of the Ghost Festival and the Bodhisattva's birthday celebration in southern Fujian were put together, isn't it like this?

Bodhisattva's birthday, in fact, is to celebrate the Bodhisattva's birthday, in the hometown of southern Fujian, each family has its own Bodhisattva, that is, the guardian saint of the family, so every time the Bodhisattva celebrates his birthday, the family has to hold a birthday banquet for the Bodhisattva, thank the Bodhisattva for blessing the family this year or something.

Although I immigrated to T County, I have not forgotten the customs of my hometown, but it is too troublesome to celebrate a Bodhisattva's birthday, not everyone's Bodhisattva is the same day, and there are few relatives at home.

However, after all, after everyone came to T County, they were scattered everywhere, and it was inconvenient to go back and forth.

In the neighboring villages, the people of the same village and clan simply spent it together around the Ghost Festival on July 15, and followed the Ghost Festival or something, which will also be the time of the farm, and everyone will have time.

Although the living conditions were difficult at that time, even during the New Year, there was nothing to eat, let alone July 15, chicken, duck and fish, don't think about it, you have to scrape together some sacrifices, but that day, the family wanted to support a scene.

Or will the fourth uncle, the third uncle and others, go down to the river to catch some fish, and the women will find some wild vegetables in the field, buy some flour and noodles, and make the table more or less, it looks like there are a few dishes.

Interestingly, at that time, when the family took turns to eat, today's one and tomorrow's one, it can be said that in Zheng Zhishang's impression, they are all about to catch up with the New Year.

said it was a festival, but Zheng Zhishang looked at it more like a gathering of fellow villagers, everyone came from that place in southern Fujian, they were helpless in T County, there were language barriers, and they were bullied by the locals, so these fellow villagers were together.

was later kicked out of the house, Zheng Zhishang's family fell into the cave, and there was no part of Zheng Zhishang's family for this holiday, and his family was alone, but it was only after July 15 once, and the next year because of his grandmother's affairs, the family did not have any festivals.

At this time, hearing Aunt Tan Lin's question, Zheng Zhishang couldn't help but feel a little melancholy and sadness, this year's first annual festival of his grandmother, he didn't go home to do it for her, and I don't know if my aunt and grandmother have a mother of their own.

As soon as I thought that it was about to pass the fifteenth day of July, I couldn't help but want to put some sacrifices in my heart to pay tribute to my father and grandmother.

In his previous life, Zheng Zhishang didn't believe in ghosts and gods, let alone that people can have souls, but since he was reincarnated, Zheng Zhishang also had to believe in this, and he didn't let himself be born in these eighty years with the memories of his previous life, how to explain it?

It is precisely because of the belief that people have souls, and Zheng Zhishang is also the first time, with the idea of living, he can't let his father and mother finally come to the yang world, eat anything, take anything, and don't even have a home to settle down.

Just when Zheng Zhishang was in a trance, Grandma Zhong said; "Isn't it like this every year when you go to your hometown in the suburbs? And this has to ask ......"

Hearing Grandma Zhong's words, Aunt Tan Lin sighed, frowned, and said, "My dad doesn't have to, I will go back to my hometown in the suburbs with them, what festival will I have, I should have known that I should have stayed in the north to work in the first place......"

Grandma Zhong smiled and said, "Our older generation of people all came over like this, and there is nothing bad about celebrating a festival and paying tribute to our ancestors." ”

"I can't stand you old people, I haven't seen anything on July 15 in the north before, and when I go back to my hometown, there will be a lot of things." Aunt Tan Lin complained and asked, "Xingxing, how are you and Yaya going to live, do you want to go to your hometown in the suburbs with your aunt...... Stars ......"

However, seeing Zheng Zhishang, he didn't pay attention to himself, he was in a daze, and couldn't help but exclaim softly again, "Star ......"

"Ah...... Aunt Tan, what's the matter? Zheng Zhishang, who came back to his senses, didn't know what had just happened.

Aunt Tan Lin rolled her eyes, smiled and quipped, "What do you think?" You can't miss your daughter-in-law......"

"No, I was just thinking about things in the store...... Zheng Zhishang scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"You won't just open a branch, it's like opening a second one......" Aunt Tan Lin looked at Zheng Zhishang with a slight surprise and nervousness.

For Zheng Zhishang, there is really only what he doesn't dare to think, there is nothing he doesn't dare to do, a six-year-old kid dares to come to Xiamen by train alone, how much courage does it take. Thinking about it, Aunt Tan Lin also felt a little afraid.

"It's also possible ......," Zheng Zhishang smiled.

"Xingxing, this is not good, according to the current national laws, it is not allowed to cross the line when hiring employees, be careful to become a capitalist, and in the end there is nothing." Aunt Tan Lin hurriedly persuaded:

Zheng Zhishang smiled and said, "Aunt Tan, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, I can open the first branch at present, I am already very satisfied, and I have no intention of opening a second branch for the time being." ”

A fast food branch on Zhongshan Road has been opened on August 1 on Army Day, and has been open for almost half a month.

Except for the beginning, there was a little confusion in management, but after Wang Qimei, Chen Xiaonan, Hong Aiyue and the four store managers and deputy store managers of the new and old stores were familiar with their own work and the management process of various things, all the work gradually got on the right track, and there was no chaos.

Speaking of which, the reason why the branch was able to use the original registration number and have more than 40 employees was thanks to the help of Aunt Tan Lin, these two things were successfully resolved. However, this is already in excess of the restrictions on small workshops in some countries.

If Zheng Zhishang wants to continue to open a second branch, it is basically impossible.

However, Zheng Zhishang is not in a hurry, because in another two or three years, the state will relax the restrictions on self-employed people and workshops, and private enterprises will be able to register publicly.

Taking advantage of these two years, I also happened to accumulate capital, and at the same time, the state did not stipulate that a person cannot do multiple industries at the same time.

"It's good that you know, I'm afraid that your head will be hot, and what will you do......" Aunt Tan Lin glanced at Zheng Zhishang with disgust and asked: "July 15, you and Yaya, and Grandma Huang, if you have nowhere to go, do you want to spend it with Auntie." ”

"Uh" Zheng Zhishang hesitated slightly for a while, and said: "This, no need, not long ago on my grandma's anniversary, I also forgot to do it for her, taking advantage of this July 15th, I want to do it for Abba and Grandma." ”

Hearing Zheng Zhishang say this, Aunt Tan Lin and Grandma Zhong were also slightly stunned, and both sighed at the same time.

Grandma Zhong said softly: "This is a big deal, for the son of man, it should be, but it is too far to go back to your hometown from Xiamen, and it is not safe for you and Yaya to have two children." ”

"Xingxing, when are you going to go back to your hometown, Auntie will go with you......" Aunt Tan Lin also very much agreed with Grandma Zhong's words, but she just went home to make a taboo for her parents, and she couldn't help but do it, and filial piety came first.

Zheng Zhishang looked at the two of them gratefully, smiled brightly, and said, "Grandma, Aunt Tan, I won't go back to my hometown, just do it for them here...... And my father and grandmother also immigrated from here, so it should be the same here. ”

"Immigrant, you said that your family immigrated to T County from here......" Aunt Tan Lin looked at Zheng Zhishang with a stunned face and asked:

Zheng Zhishang also frowned slightly, full of puzzlement, what is this curious, nodded "um", and said, "What's wrong?" Is there a problem with Aunt Tan? ”

"Since you are immigrants, then you should still have relatives here in Xiamen, why don't you go to them......" Hearing Zheng Zhishang's words, Grandma Zhong couldn't help asking:

"This ...... Because, I don't know where they are? Abba and Grandma left very suddenly, and they didn't tell me anything......" Zheng Zhishang scratched his head in embarrassment.

This is true, whether there are relatives in Xiamen or in southern Fujian, Zheng Zhishang has never heard his parents mention it. The relationship with grandpa and grandma is not good, and when I see that I don't have a good face, I have never talked to myself well, let alone talk to myself about things in my hometown.

"No wonder......" Grandma Zhong sighed.

Aunt Tan Lin smiled, stroked Zheng Zhishang's head, and said: "What's this, if you don't know, you don't know, anyway, Xingxing can make money now, and it's more than wrong to support yourself, those relatives know, in case someone sees the wealth, the star is not a loss, so it's hard to have this family business." ”

"You, just your mouth, love to talk nonsense......" Grandma Zhong glared at Aunt Tan Lin in disgust.

But thinking about it in my heart, what Aunt Tan Lin said is not unreasonable, the most difficult thing in the world to guess is people's hearts, not to mention the stars, now they are just a child, in case they are known by those relatives, I really don't know what will happen.

"I'm telling the truth, in the newspapers, didn't I say it soon? When I first started immigrating, the government also prepared land for those who migrated, allowing them to return to their hometowns if they were not satisfied there. It is because of this condition that when the immigration was organized, many people signed up and were willing to go to the mountains. ”

"When I got there, I found that the conditions in the mountains were even more difficult, even more difficult than here, and I was bullied by the locals. Batch by batch they ran back by themselves, and the government gave them the land they allocated, and some relatives were better and helped them watch it, and some people were so bad that they didn't care whether their brothers lived or died, and resold their land privately, and now they have no place to stay. ”

What Aunt Tan Lin said is not a rumor, but a fact, Zheng Zhishang has also seen this news from the newspaper, but some of the staff of the immigration office back then are no longer there, and some have been transferred to other places, and they have not confirmed it.

The other party can only ask his relatives for an explanation, but the land has already been sold, where to come back, and the two sides are so stiff. Although land sales were not allowed at that time, private transactions were still allowed in rural homestead land, and there were no strict rules.
