Chapter 153: A Strange Hometown

Getting off the long-distance bus, Wu Fan stood at the entrance of the village of Yanhui Town, a little hesitant for a while.

Although this is Wu Fan's nominal hometown, in fact, he has never been here, looking at the golden wheat fields in front of him, Yanhui Town is located surrounded by these wheat fields.

When Wu Fan came back, it was almost time for lunch, and I saw curling smoke rising from the roofs of every house in the village, groups of students who had just finished school were riding new or old bicycles, chasing and playing on the streets, and the bolder boys, let go of the handlebars with both hands, and controlled the balance of the bicycle with the strength of their waists, and roared past Wu Fan in a big way.

Wu Fan's headache is that he doesn't know where his home should be, and he doesn't even know what his current titular father looks like.

It's just that Wu Fan can't ask others yet, they are all from the township, once it is rumored that Wu Fan has been a city man for a few years, and he can't even find his home when he comes back, which is not good.

Just as Wu Fan was thinking about whether to call his nominal father to ask for directions, a bicycle bell rang behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that a young man in a white coat was smiling at Wu Fan on a bicycle with one foot on the ground.

"Great talent, why did this unseasoned person suddenly run home? Why didn't you bring back your fairy-like daughter-in-law? This young man was obviously an acquaintance of Wu Fan, and there was a closeness in his tone.

Wu Fan walked over, smiled and patted the young man's shoulder lightly, and said in the same intimate tone: "What's the matter? I can't go home and take a look, I guess my dad can't do it? Stop talking nonsense, let's go, let's talk while walking, you tell me what's new in our village during this time? ”

With Wu Fan's current experience, he hadn't gone far with this young man, and he had already taken out the location of his yard from him without a trace, and came to the alley of his yard, Wu Fan waved goodbye to the young man, turned around and walked into the courtyard.

Wu Fan's parents obviously didn't expect their son to suddenly return home, and the old couple were huddled in the kitchen preparing lunch, chatting casually while busy with their hands and feet.

Standing in the courtyard, Wu Fan stabilized his mood, because the two figures in the kitchen reminded him of his biological parents, and at that time, the two of them were also so affectionately cooking and working together, but unfortunately, with the sudden car accident, they never had the opportunity to cook a delicious lunch together.

Since he has replaced the identity of this Wu Fan, then he will regard the two old men in the house as his parents, and do his best for the unlucky original form of filial piety that he did not have time to fulfill.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Wu Fan shouted twice, threw the luggage in his hand onto a chair, and strode towards the kitchen.

When the old couple who were cooking heard Wu Fan's shout, they immediately looked out of the door, just in time to see Wu Fan pushing the door with a smile on his face, standing firmly at the door of the kitchen.

After eating a meal, Wu Fan eliminated the strangeness between him and the second elder, and sat around the coffee table with the second elder like a real relative, munching melon seeds and chatting about the idle day.

Although Wu Fan came back this time, he also wanted to find the half-moon-shaped jade pendant that belonged to the Wu family in the legend, but since Wu Fan had searched through the house countless times before, the possible surname that Wu Fan could find was not particularly large, so this time when he returned to his hometown, Wu Fan's biggest goal was to find out what kind of family the Wu family was, and whether it was possible to get Ning Huang Pei.

Under the guidance of Wu Fan, Wu Fan's father talked about the glory of the Wu family with great interest, of course, how many legendary elements these words have, Wu Fan needs to screen it himself.

This old Wu family is indeed a family with a story as Wu Fan imagined.

Before the liberation, the entire Yanhui Town was actually the property of the old Wu family, it can be said that there was no Yanhui Town at that time, this is the manor of the Wu family, which has been named Yanhui Garden by the Wu family. In addition to the various branches and veins of the Wu family, they live here, that is, tenant farmers and servants who are attached to the Wu family.

Originally, the Wu family had a good reputation in the local area and had always been known as a philanthropist, but unfortunately, with the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he ruled the land. With the arrival of Yue himself, no one expected that there were a few unfortunate obstacles in Lao Wu's house, and he actually ran to Yu himself to do **.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, affected by those few evil obstacles, the Wu family was branded as a ** family, and the family road quickly fell.

At that time, it was Wu Fan's grandfather who was in charge of the Wu family, and the old man was unwilling to let the Wu family go into decline, so he resolutely sold most of the family property and donated the property to the political axe to clear the charge of **.

It's just that the old man never thought that not long after a large amount of property was donated, Yanhui Town was liberated, and the act of donating money to the political axe was not only not good at all, but was regarded by the new political axe as a typical example of the rich and the bad right, and the Wu family was given **.

If it weren't for the fact that the Wu family had taken root in this area, multiplied for hundreds of years, and was related to almost every household, it was very likely that they would have been uprooted and disappeared.

After the liberation, the Wu family gradually wavered in several movements, and the population became smaller and smaller, and by Wu Fan's generation, the real Wu family's bloodline was less than 20 people. And the eldest son and grandson of Changfang have passed down the lineage, and there is only one single seedling like Wu Fan.

learned a little about the history of the Wu family from his father, and Wu Fan really figured out a little taste. This Wu family was also a wealthy family before liberation, but it is also possible to have the opportunity to collect Emperor Ning's jade pendant, but after these stormy decades, even if he once had a jade pendant, I am afraid that it would have already fallen into the hands of others at this time, and it seems that the significance of returning to his hometown is not too great, and the clues that can be found are almost gone.

After chatting for a while, the two old men were a little tired because of the excitement of Wu Fan's return, so Wu Fan stood up and asked the two old men to take a lunch break, and he went into the room that originally belonged to him, and picked it up little by little, trying to find some useful clues.

The result was very disappointing to Wu Fan, the original Wu Fan was also a careful person, he had already brought all the things that might be useful to Shicheng, and there were no other valuable items in his hometown except for a large number of useless textbooks and exercise books.

Wu Fan was called out of the house by his mother to prepare for dinner, but the disgraced Wu Fan had to take a bath before he could come out to meet people, otherwise it would be like a monkey, but it made the old mother count it down, and finally Wu Fan almost ran away.

At the dinner table, Wu Fan barely spoke, and now his mind flew back to Tang Mengru's side, since there are no more clues in his hometown, it is better to return his eyes to the Tang family, maybe it is possible to get some information from Tang Mengru's grandfather through Tang Mengru, because from the current situation that Wu Fan has mastered, Tang Mengru's grandfather is also looking for Ning Huangpei.

As the saying goes, if you have the intention to plant flowers and flowers, you don't have the intention to plant willows and willows, when Wu Fan didn't speak, he heard something from his nagging mother that made his heart move.

After the reform and opening up of Yanhui Town, the people in the town gradually had some spare money in their hands, and some old people wanted to repair the lost genealogy. The old building of the Wu family ancestral hall is still there, but the spiritual seat in the ancestral hall has long been burned and thrown away, and even the ancestral hall itself has been used as a warehouse for the town government axe.

It is easy to renovate the ancestral hall and re-erect the spiritual position of the ancestors, but what is really difficult to do is that there are no people who can clearly write the original genealogy of the Wu family now, and even what kind of generation is between the existing Wu family, there are also two or three versions.

What makes Wu Fan's mother talk about it is not the matter of repairing the ancestral hall to build a family tree, the old lady is really dissatisfied that their family is the real Wu family's family, but because the family is ordinary, no one from the Wu family rebuilt the ancestral hall to ask Wu Fan's father's opinion, and even on the day the ancestral hall was built, no one came to invite Wu Fan's father to watch the ceremony, and it seems that everyone has forgotten their real bloodline of the Wu family.

Wu Fan didn't care about the name at all, but the Wu family's rebuilding of the ancestral hall made Wu Fan's heart move, and after listening to his mother, the Wu family found out a lot of old guys who originally belonged to the ancestral hall, and re-placed the Wu family ancestral hall. It's these old guys who make Wu Fan a little excited, anyway, he doesn't have hope, the dead horse is a live horse doctor, just go to the ancestral hall for a turn, wouldn't it be good if he really found some clues?

Quickly pulled the three bowls of noodles into his stomach, Wu Fan wiped his mouth and stood up, said to his parents and was about to go out, but his father grabbed his arm and dragged Wu Fan back to the dining table.

"You kid is still so frizzy, just heard the ** say a word about the ancestral hall, do you want to go to the ancestral hall to have a look? You don't want to think about it, the ancestral tablets of our Wu family are available in the ancestral hall, and the door can be opened all day long, who wants to go in and have a look? Tell you, if you want to enter the ancestral hall, you have to wait for the door of the ancestral hall to open every three and eight days of the month, and then you can go in to worship your ancestors. Wu Fan's father reminded him, so that Wu Fan couldn't help but look at the old man and laughed.

"Dad, I was really so obvious just now, you can see at a glance that I want to go to the ancestral hall?"

The family of three chatted warmly and comfortably, and laughter continued to overflow from the house, spreading the warm light throughout the courtyard.

Since the ancestral hall is not open today, of course Wu Fan can't go now, the surname Suo will stay with his parents for a while, and it will not be too late to go to the ancestral hall in the evening.

In such an ordinary countryside, Wu Fan really didn't believe that there would be any accidents that could stop him from visiting the Wu family ancestral hall at night. As for whether he can find some clues in the Wu family ancestral hall, Wu Fan really didn't have any hope, if this ancestral hall has been passed down, then there may be some secrets, like the new ancestral hall that has just been built for less than a year, there is no clue worth mentioning in it.
