Chapter 307: Ancestor Worship
Zhou Xiaotian was extremely excited, and pointed to Zhou Chen in the distance from time to time and told him that that place was where I often went to play when I was a child, and that place was the place where I used to run around with my friends when I was a child, but when he came to the entrance of the village and saw the old man who was squinting at him, he was stunned.
Zhou Xiaoyun was also stunned, and his grandson, who was supporting him, looked at this large group of people with a curious expression, these people are so magnificent!
"Are you, duckling?"
"Haha, yes, yes!"
Zhou Xiaotian came to Zhou Xiaoyun's side with great excitement, grabbed his hand, and said, "You are still alive, haha......"
"You're still alive, so I'll say you'll be alive."
"Yes, we are all alive." The two of them folded their arms and trembled with excitement.
Zhou Xiaotian said, hurriedly pulled Zhou Chen over, and introduced him: "This is your grandfather, my cousin." ”
"Hello grandpa."
"Okay, okay, Xiaotian, your grandson is handsome enough."
"Your grandson is not bad, he looks like a great guy."
"Well, grandpa, you wait here, I'll go back and tell my parents!"
Zhou Xiaoyun's grandson knew that this was the younger brother that his grandfather had been waiting for for many years to come back, but he didn't expect that he really waited for his younger brother to come back, and he had to go back to inform him.
"Go, go, tell your parents to bring out all the good things in the house."
"No, no, no."
"You left when you were a child and never came back, so you must still miss your hometown, right? I'm going to go back and get you more. ”
Zhou Chen listened to the conversation between his grandfather and this grandfather, and couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, he didn't expect that this grandfather's nickname was actually a duckling, how does this look like it?
And Yuan Ping and Tang Cheng are also very curious about this small village, Yuan Ping and his wife have lived in the countryside for a few years, and Tang Cheng and they have never been to the countryside since they were young, so they looked around, and snatched the things in the hands of other children, held them in their hands very strangely, and licked them with their tongues.
After a while, the whole village came out, looking at the big visitor like curious babies, but the bodyguards who couldn't help but look around vigilantly made them dare not come forward.
"Is this Xiaotian back?" An old lady was helped out of the house by several young men, and asked loudly by the side of the road.
"Yes, old sister, I'm back." Zhou Xiaotian strode up, grabbed the old lady's wrinkled hand, and said, "Old sister, you are still so energetic!" ”
"No, it's old, it's old, you're old."
"yes, we're all old."
"This is your grandson, right? I look a lot like you. The old lady glanced at Zhou Chen beside Zhou Xiaotian and said.
"Haha, yes, this is my grandson Zhou Chen." Zhou Xiaotian looked very proud to introduce Zhou Chen like the people around him, attracting a lot of praise.
At this time, a group of people arrived at the door of an old house with historical vicissitudes, Zhou Xiaotian stood there without speaking, and those old people who were the same age as Zhou Xiaotian also quieted down.
"Zhou Chen, come here."
"Grandpa!"
When Zhou Chen saw the old man's appearance, he knew that this was the ancestral house.
"This place, arrange for someone to repair it for me, I haven't come back for so many years, and it must be broken."
"Grandpa, I'll arrange it later."
"Let's go, I'll go in with Grandpa."
Zhou Xiaotian said and pushed open the door where the patent leather had fallen off, only to see that it was clean and dust-free, and there was a large row of tablets opposite, and incense candles were burning.
"Although you haven't been back for many years, I still clean this place every day, just waiting for you to come back." Zhou Xiaoyun said to Zhou Xiaotian with tears.
"Thank you, thank you."
"Go and incense your aunt and uncle!"
"Zhou Chen, Shanshan, you and I come in."
"Yes, Grandpa."
Zhou Chen and Yuan Shanshan helped Zhou Xiaotian to come into the house with one left and one right, and the grandson of Zhou Xiaoyun, who was the first to leave at this time, lit firecrackers at the door.
"Bang Bang ......"
Smoke filled the air, the sound of firecrackers reached into the sky, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"Unfilial piety, Xiaotian is back, and I will kowtow to you here." Zhou Xiaotian said, knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed on the ground like garlic with his head, and was also full of tears: "In the future, Xiaotian will definitely serve the second elder......"
And Zhou Chen and Yuan Shanshan also followed behind, knelt down, and kowtowed.
……
At night, the entire Zhoujia Village was filled with fireworks and laughter.
Today's Zhou Xiaotian ignored Zhou Chen's obstruction, made an exception and got drunk, and had been arranged to sleep, and those relatives and old people also went to sleep, only Zhou Chen, these young people, were still drinking and chatting there.
"Zhou Chen, these relatives of your family are really enthusiastic."
"Yes, young master, look at the people who came today, they were so excited to cry when they saw the master, this is the real family affection." Hong Zhengan said with some envy.
"I'll be busy tomorrow." Zhou Chen suddenly said with some concern: "I heard a cousin say that tomorrow we are going to repair the ancestral tomb, according to the custom, we have to do it ourselves, and you have also seen how big my Zhou family's ancestral tomb is." ”
"This, that's also your business, it has nothing to do with us, right?" Tang Cheng seized the rare opportunity and said, "Fortunately, my Tang family is alone, even if I want to go, there is nowhere to go." ”
"Tang Cheng, are you looking for a draw?"
"Why, don't you even let people speak?"
"Alright, alright, I'm going to sleep, you two don't drink too much."
Zhou Chen's mood is a little complicated, since he has seen the situation of the village during the day, he has felt a little awkward, the road is still a dirt road, and the school is also a low tile house, which shows that the people here are still very poor, no matter what, this is also the ancestral home of his Zhou family, so Zhou Chen plans to do something for the village.
……
On the second day, Zhou Chen, who was dressed in black, went up the mountain with Zhou Xiaotian and his grandfather's cousin's family.
Renovating the ancestral tomb is absolutely not allowed to be interfered with by outsiders, even if it is a woman in the family, so a large group of old and young people went to the place where the ancestral tomb was located with shovels and pickaxes or other tools.
"Brother Lobby, have you ever thought about going outside to work?" Zhou Chen has a good impression of this lobby brother, he has not only studied abroad, but is even a postdoctor, but he is such a person, and he actually chooses to farm at home, which makes Zhou Chen very incomprehensible.
"Forget it......"
"Otherwise, you can go to work with me, you are a talent."
"You dare to use me?"
Brother Lobby looked at Zhou Chen with a surprised expression.
"Why don't you dare? Could it be that there is no way to say this? Zhou Chen asked strangely.
"Brother Chen, don't you know, Brother Lobby has suffered a big loss outside."
"How?"
The curiosity in Zhou Chen's heart was raised, could it be that there is any story in this?
"Here's the thing......"
With the narration of Zhou Xing, that is, the young man at the entrance of the village before, Zhou Chen understood that no one dared to use such a talent as he said, so he is now staying at home in the countryside, raising pigs and feeding ducks.
It turned out that this lobby brother used to work in a very large company in Furong City, but one day not long ago, the company he was in was suddenly banned by others, and he was also fired.
This also discouraged many companies that wanted to poach him before.
"What kind of company is that?" Zhou Chen asked strangely.
"In that Tang Dynasty, those people really wanted to beat their boss to death, just because he fired Brother Lobby, so he hasn't found a job yet."
"Ahem......"
Zhou Chen's company that was fired before hearing about Brother Lobby was finally banned by the Tang Dynasty, and he was a little choked when he looked at Zhou Xing's indignant face.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Then you say, Brother Lobby, do you still dare to use it?"
Brother Lobby looked at Zhou Xing with a wry smile. He knew what kind of company it was in the Tang Dynasty, it was simply a giant, and those who wanted to work in the past before did not dare to hire him because they were afraid of offending the Tang Dynasty.
"This matter is not a big deal, after I go back, I will talk to Tang Cheng."
"That Brother Chen, don't be impulsive, the one I offended was someone from the Tang Dynasty."
"It's okay, let's go to Furong City tomorrow."
As he spoke, he had already arrived at the place, and Zhou Xiaotian said to Zhou Chen: "You young people go and pull out those weeds first, and then go and put those stones in order." ”
"Okay!" Zhou Chen agreed, and he did it with a few young people of the Zhou family, but only this time I knew that it was not what Zhou Chen thought at all, this grass was a test of waist strength and physical strength, and it was extremely difficult to pull it out, and it was also hot and painful to fight back.
"I look at this place, it's good, after I leave in the future, Chen'er, you will bury me here, I can't be filial piety in life, and I will be filial to my parents after death." Zhou Xiaotian looked at the tomb of his parents who were full of weeds, and said with a look of guilt.
Zhou Chen heard his grandfather play the same old tune, nodded heavily, and said solemnly: "I remember." ”
"Okay, keep working, don't think nonsense, grandpa, I still have some days to live." Zhou Xiaotian looked at Zhou Chen and said.
Just when Zhou Chen and a few young people of the Zhou family were cleaning up the ancestral grave there, Bai Ge was commanding people at this time, secretly surround a group of people.
"Chief, those people are in that house." The beard poked out of the grass, pointed to an attic built in the mountains in the distance, and said, "Those people seem to be waiting for something, even if they are eating, they are sent by people outside." ”
"When the time comes, let our people pay attention and clean up at a fixed point."
"Yes!"
As soon as the white dove's words fell, the sound of gunfire rang out in the sky, and came from all directions.
"Bang ......"
"Boom!"
The fierce gunshots, the startled birds hovered in the air for a long time, and the huge explosion sound seemed to be as deafening as it could shatter the starry sky.
"Rush!"
The white pigeon held the gun in both hands, jumped out, shouted at the soldiers behind him, roared, and rushed in first.
"Smack!"
Two gunshots rang out in a row, and the two people who had just rushed out were immediately knocked to the ground, and then her eyes were fixed on a guy who kept shooting at his own people with a gun, and then her body flashed to the person's side, and the gun in her hand instantly rang out again.
"Whoa!"
The bullet hit the wall, and the man jumped to the side with a flash of action, staring at the white dove with a pair of eyes like a falcon, and a wolf-like roar from his mouth: "You, it's you again, can't we even hide here?" ”
