"Mom! Why are you still sad about your grandfather's death? Don't be sad, my grandfather is eighty-five years old, and he can be regarded as enjoying his old age, and I believe that my grandfather has no regrets. ”

When Hong Tianbao returned home, he saw his mother sitting in the hall in a daze, and he knew that his mother had not woken up from the reality of his grandfather's death.

"Xiaobao, are you back? Got a job? It's hard to find a job now, and you won't be able to find it for a while, so let's rest at home for a while! Hehe! Your eyes are in the sand, and God has nothing to say to your grandfather. ”

Hong Tianbao's mother, although Xia Feishuang is over forty years old, she is still plump, and the plain clothes on her body do not affect her moving face and proud figure at all. Xia Feishuang saw Hong Tianbao coming back, and immediately secretly wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes.

Her son has graduated this year, and it has been more than a month now, but the job is still unsettled, and she doesn't want to add trouble to her son. His own son, he knows, he is open-minded on the surface, and he doesn't care. But at heart, he is a strong person, smart and clever since he was a child, coupled with obedience and filial piety, he has always been a pioneer role model for children in this area.

The corners of Hong Tianbao's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart: Mom's excuse is too bad. But he didn't dare to say it, so he could only pretend to be stupid.

"Uh-huh! I'm not in a hurry, I went out these days and found that there was a lot of work. However, none of them seem to work for me. Then rest at home for a while and go out later. Hong Tianbao was a little helpless when he talked about work.

It's not difficult to find a job now, but it's not easy to find one. He has always disdained people who are looking for relationships and going through the back door, but now he has found out that this society is really the kind of people who look like ghosts, and it is really not ordinary for him to find a job with a clean body.

"So be it! After your grandfather died, no one has sorted out his relics, so this time you will go back to your hometown to sort them out, and by the way, take a break! Xia Feishuang was still a little worried about her son, and the calmer her son behaved, the more frightened she became.

"Okay, I'll go back in the afternoon, and I'll be back in a week at most. I still like the mountains and rivers of my hometown, hehe! Hong Tianbao knew her mother's worries, and she didn't go against her, as she said, Quan should go back to relax, this time is indeed a little annoying.

Xia Feishuang smiled at this time, and immediately began to cook a hearty lunch to make up for her son.

Hong Tianbao swept the delicacies on the dinner table, and then boarded the shuttle back to the countryside with satisfaction. He estimated that he would arrive at four or five o'clock in the evening. Although the coastal urban area is only more than 50 kilometers away from the countryside, it is basically a mountain road, winding and winding, and the car does not go fast, usually it takes two to three hours.

Hong Tianbao has had no father since he could remember, only his mother depended on him. My mother never revealed this information, and Hong Tianbao remembered one time when he asked why he hadn't seen his father. At that time, my mother scolded Hong Tianbao bitterly, and then cried bitterly. Hong Tianbao was dumbfounded, and he never mentioned it since.

Fortunately, his grandfather and two uncles were kind to their mother and son, and Hong Tianbao remembered that as long as their mother and son were in difficulty, the two uncles would spare no effort to help. Uncle Xia Feilong and second uncle Xia Feitian are both authentic farmers, honest and honest, and the eldest aunt has no children, so they are also spoiled by Hong Tianbao. Only the second aunt is a little childish, a bit of a philistine, and likes to be a little cheap.

Hong Tianbao got out of the car and walked on the country road. He looked at the yellow, orange and orange ears of rice in the distance, listened to the bird chirping from the mountains and forests, and was in a good mood, and suddenly wanted to shout out all the depression during this time.

This village is called Xiajia Village, and the whole village is surnamed Xia. This is rare in today's society of great integration.

"Oops! Isn't this Xiaobao? I think you've graduated, right? Alas! Xiaobao, you are out, your family is out of the blue. This ancestral tomb of the old Xia family is smoking! "The fifth uncle drove an old ox, carried two dung baskets, barefoot, sleeves and pants were hugged, a typical image of an old peasant.

"Yo! Fifth uncle, you're done with your work! This old scalper has been served well by you! I did graduate. Hong Tianbao felt funny, these five uncles were really interesting to talk about, the ancestral tomb of the old Xia family was smoking, didn't that mean that his ancestral tomb was smoking? Anyway, their entire village is surnamed Xia, and there is only one ancestral grave.

"Huh! That's okay, if you have time, go to the fifth uncle to sit down, you haven't been over for a long time to eat. The fifth uncle also reacted, what he said just now was a little wrong, his old face turned red, and finally invited Hong Tianbao. Rural people are like this, simple, warm and hospitable, at least Hong Tianbao has always felt like this.

"Gotcha! When the time comes, you won't get the nagging of the fifth uncle. ”

Bidding farewell to the fifth uncle, Hong Tianbao met many villagers along the way, and they all greeted him warmly.

When I returned to my uncle's house, it was already ten o'clock, and at this time, the sun was hanging on the treetops of the mountains in the distance, emitting a charming golden light. Hong Tianbao feels that the current sunlight is the most gentle, not dazzling, but has a comfortable feeling.

"Huh! Xiaobao? When did you get back? Why don't you give a phone call to your uncle, so that your uncle can pick you up and see you, all the way, covered in sweat and tired, right? Quick, hurry up inside and take a shower. The eldest aunt is going to kill a chicken, and let your second uncle's family come over for a meal tonight. ”

Hong Tianbao's eldest aunt, Huang Lan, is from the next village, and she is not as old as Xia Feishuang, but her appearance looks a little old. As soon as she came back from feeding the livestock, she saw Hong Tianbao at the door, with a fine layer of sweat on her face, and immediately felt a little distressed, and said with some reproach, but her face was happy.

"Auntie, it's out of the way, you see I'm a young man, what's the point of walking? Uncle is also very busy, so it's not good for him to trouble him with this little thing. ”

Hong Tianbao knows that this eldest aunt has always regarded herself as a child and loves him very much. Therefore, in the face of this simple peasant woman, Hong Tianbao still respects it very much.

"What can he do? Now our family's rice has not been harvested, so we are idle! But thinking that it will be harvested in a few days, and we don't have much rice at home anyway, I am not so anxious. ”

Huang Lan put the bucket in her hand in the tiled house next to the building, and then led Hong Tianbao into the house.

Uncle Hong Tianbao and the second uncle's house are very close, they are all small bungalows on one floor, hundreds of square meters, the appearance has not been decorated, and the inside is only painted with a layer of white lime.

The ancestral house, where Hong Tianbao's grandfather used to live, is not very far, it is a big tiled house. It was built of large mud bricks and was as tall as a two-story building. Hong Tianbao remembers that in the past, when there was a strong wind in the village, the tiles on it would dance like flying knives. After the strong wind, everyone will climb on the roof to pick up tiles, which is very interesting.

In the evening, the second uncle and the second aunt came over with a cousin. Everyone had a meal together, my cousin is not young, he has graduated from high school, and as for whether he can go to college, he has to look at the college entrance examination results for a while. Originally, there was a cousin, and that cousin was studying in a freshman or second-A school in Haibin City, which was much worse than Hong Tianbao's famous university before.

"Xiaobao, you are the most prosperous person in our village, you should have a good job now, right? In the future, it will be up to you for our Xia family to eat porridge and dinner! ”

Hong Tianbao's second aunt's words were a bit insinuating, and even the most honest uncle could hear that there was a bone in the words. This second aunt has always been unhappy that Hong Tianbao is very good at reading, this time she knows that Hong Tianbao has not found a job yet, and she can't help but feel happy.

Xia Feitian glared at his wife fiercely, although Xia Xiaofeng didn't do much in reading, he was very ghostly, and he was very good at observing words and feelings, and he went against the honesty of his uncle and second uncle. Sometimes Hong Tianbao thinks, how did the honest genes of the Xia family come to this kid and become extinct.

Xia Xiaofeng immediately raised a glass of beer.

"Cousin! I salute you with this cup, and I wish you a smooth graduation and a great fortune in the future! ”

"Huh! Yes! I take your good word. Hong Tianbao also drank all of it, and secretly said that this kid is really a waste of talent if he doesn't become an official.

At nine o'clock the next day, Hong Tianbao got up happily. After a hurried wash, I was ready to go to the ancestral house.

"Xiaobao, this is the key to the ancestral house, you take it well, just throw away those useless things, they are all old things from decades ago." Huang Lan smiled and handed over the key.

"Okay, I got it." Hong Tianbao also knew that his grandfather left a lot of old things, all of which were some years old, and the old people were nostalgic, and many things were reluctant to throw away.

Hong Tianbao came to the familiar door of the big tiled house, which is a typical Hakka building in the south. He was a little depressed in his heart. Things are no longer in people, and it is inevitable that there will be some touching scenes.

He opened the large wooden door, which had been closed for a long time, and suddenly kicked up a puff of dust that flew in the sun.

In the quiet and empty room, nothing has changed, but without the familiar figure, the room has become dead and silent, without the slightest anger.

Hong Tianbao looked at the things in this room, and suddenly he was a little at a loss. Many of them are pots and pots of living utensils, some farm tools, etc., and the things are really miscellaneous.

Hong Tianbao is a person who is good at classification, and these things did not make him depressed for long. He quickly categorized things, good and bad, and one class of good ones.

It took Hong Tianbao two hours to pack up all the things.

He found that most of them were badly damaged and could no longer be used, so he didn't want those things.

What intrigued him the most was a quaint and delicate wooden box. He had seen this wooden box before, and his grandfather said that this was an heirloom of their Xia family, and inside was a quaint copper coin.

That being said, Hong Tianbao's two uncles didn't care much. Because this copper coin is not valuable, they once asked people to identify it, although this copper coin is quaint in appearance, but it has no value. No one has ever seen such a copper coin, only to see that this copper coin is not gold or copper, and there is no text on it, only a pair of patterns shaped like wings. In other words, this copper coin does not belong to the common currency of any dynasty, can such an antique be valuable?

But every time Hong Tianbao sees this copper coin, he will feel excited, just like seeing an old friend who has not seen each other for a long time. This feeling made Hong Tianbao feel very surprised and awkward.
