Chapter 19: The Ancestral Tomb Has Been Stolen
"Of course it's true, Mom! How could I lie to you, I didn't tell you before, because I was afraid that you would worry, but now that my son is making money, I can rest assured that I can tell you, as long as you know that your son is rich! Our family's life will only get better and better! Chen Jinyuan saw that his mother was discouraged, and hurriedly struck the iron while it was hot.
Wang Xiuzhen glanced at Chen Jinyuan deeply, and saw that Chen Jinyuan looked at him sincerely, his expression did not seem to be cheating, and he thought that this child would not deceive himself, so he smiled and chose to believe in his son.
"Even if you have money, you can't spend it indiscriminately!" Wang Xiuzhen, who is used to bitterness, can't stand it the most is waste.
Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Chen Jinyuan quickly nodded yes, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and breathed a long sigh of relief. The mother and son walked home one after the other.
Chen Jinyuan's house is the same brick house as most of the people in the village, in front of the house is a large courtyard surrounded by a two-meter-high mud wall, Wang Xiuzhen walked in front, pushed open the courtyard door to let Chen Jinyuan go in first, the yard was full of firewood, although the house is a little dilapidated, but the area is quite large, the land in the countryside is not as valuable as in the city, most of the houses built in the village are built in their own land, and they are all repaired. Chen Jinyuan's home was built in the nineties of the last century, when Chen Jinyuan was only two or three years old, and the family lived in the old mansion with the second uncle's family and grandparents, and later the second uncle Chen Zongming also had a child, that is, Chen Jinyuan's cousin Chen Jie. It was a little crowded for a large family to live together, so the grandparents took out their savings to build the current brick house, and Chen Jinyuan's family moved down with his grandparents.
After more than ten years of wind and rain, the house has become a little dilapidated, and the original new house has long become an old house!
Entering the house and putting down the heavy things on her body, her mother made herself a pot of tea to quench her thirst, and then took an enamel basin into the kitchen, the pot had already boiled hot water, and after a while, Wang Xiuzhen brought out a basin of hot water and beckoned Chen Jinyuan to wash his face and feet, and remove the dust on his body. Watching his mother serve himself before and after, Chen Jinyuan couldn't help but sigh, it's better to be at home! There are our parents at home! At this moment, Chen Jinyuan's heart seems to have found a home, incomparably quiet!
After washing his feet and changing into a pair of slippers, he went into his bedroom. The space at home is quite large.,A big room in the middle is used to worship the ancestral tablet.,A large partition on the right side of the hall has become two small rooms.,One of them is my sister.,But my sister is in high school in the county.,Although it's a holiday now.,But the school requires make-up classes.,There are still a few days to come back.,So the room is still empty.。 The one outside is Chen Jinyuan's nest. On the left side of the hall is the room for my parents and grandparents, and my grandmother lives in one room because my grandfather died three years ago. Further to the left is the kitchen and living room. The door to the hall is usually closed, and the family usually enters and exits through the living room door.
Walk through your parents' bedrooms and halls and into your own room. The room is not very big, it is still the same as before, a transparent glass window, a purple embroidered curtain is hung on the window, Chen Jinyuan stepped forward and opened the curtain, the light outside the house shone in through the window, and the room suddenly became brighter. You can clearly see the scene in the courtyard through the window, and of course, if you stand in the courtyard, you can also see Chen Jinyuan's room clearly.
In front of the window was a small desk, on which were placed a small lamp and some books that Chen Jinyuan had read before. Against the wall was a five-foot-wide wooden bed, which had been laid with clean sheets and two thick beddings. There are no mosquitoes in winter, so the original hanging mosquito nets have been taken off, and the snow-white walls on both sides are covered with large and small awards, and if you look closely, they are all elementary and junior high schools, Chen Jinyuan originally wanted to tear them off, but his mother was not allowed, and he was reluctant to think about it, because it carried his glorious past! That's why it's been kept until now. In general, the room is not big, and the decoration is not gorgeous, but Chen Jinyuan feels warm, perhaps in response to the sentence: The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels!
put the computer and the mobile phone I bought for my little sister on the desk, and opened the glass window casually to let the room breathe, then closed the door and left the room.
At this time, her mother Wang Xiuzhen was busy in the kitchen, preparing dinner, and when she saw Chen Jinyuan coming out, she asked Chen Jinyuan to watch TV in the house for a while. There is only a small 21-inch color TV at home, which is placed in the living room. There is a sofa and a square table in the living room, and the portraits of these great men are pasted on the wall, and there is also a photo frame, except for a family photo, the rest of the photos in the frame belong to Chen Jinyuan and his sister Chen Jingrong. Chen Jinyuan turned on the TV, and it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and he changed a few stations that were all cartoons. I felt bored, put down the remote control, and walked around the house only to find that I didn't see my father and grandmother.
So he walked into the kitchen and asked Wang Xiuzhen, "Mom! What about grandma and dad, why don't you see people? ”
Wang Xiuzhen listened to her son's question, and her hand that was holding a kitchen knife to cut bacon paused, looked up at Chen Jinyuan, as if she remembered something, and said with a look of wanting to speak: "Oh! They went to work in the fields, and they will be back in a moment! ”
Got to work? Chen Jinyuan had doubts in his heart, if he wanted to say that his father went out to work, he might still believe that his grandmother was over seventy years old, and she usually had a little hard walking, what else could she do? Besides, it's the depths of winter, so there shouldn't be much work in the field!
Chen Jinyuan looked at his mother's expression, he was sure that his mother must have something to hide from him! I couldn't help but say, "Mom! You can't lie to me, grandma has been idle at home for several years, how can she work in the fields, you must have something to hide from me, where did they go? ”
"You don't have to worry about things at home, you just need to remember to study hard, and you don't care about other things! Your dad and they'll be back in a minute! Wang Xiuzhen paused again, and said in a somewhat heavy tone. After speaking, he continued to cut the bacon in his hand.
Yesterday on the phone, I felt that my mother's tone was a little wrong, and I felt that something might have happened at home, but I didn't care too much, and seeing my mother's look like this at this time strengthened Chen Jinyuan's inner thoughts.
"Mom! I'm twenty-two years old, I'm an adult, don't treat me like a child anymore, you tell me what's going on at home? Don't keep hiding everything from me. Because of the excitement in his heart, Chen Jinyuan's voice involuntarily raised several decibels, almost shouting.
Hearing this, Wang Xiuzhen put down the kitchen knife in her hand and slowly raised her head, with a slight struggle in her eyes, as if she was thinking about whether she should tell her son the truth. seemed to see Chen Jinyuan's firm gaze, and suddenly felt that his son had really grown up, maybe he really shouldn't hide it from him, anyway, sooner or later he would know, gritted his teeth and slowly spit out a few words: "Our ancestral grave has been stolen!" ”
"What? Ancestral graves stolen? ”
Chen Jinyuan's eyes widened, and his mother's words made Chen Jinyuan a little stunned.
From ancient times to the present, from the royal family and nobles, down to the common people, their ancestral tombs are regarded as taboo, and they will never let people touch and disturb the peace of their ancestors. Usually, if someone's family has any good or happy events, others will say that your ancestral grave is smoking; A quarrel in the countryside often threatens the other party to dig up his ancestral grave, but after all, it is just a quarrel, and no one will be so immoral and really run to dig other people's ancestral graves.
Now that the time has already entered the 21st century, the concept of ancestral tombs is not as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as before, but in the rural areas of China, these are taken very seriously, Chen Jinyuan thinks that he has a higher education, so he does not attach great importance to these, but his parents and the previous generations are very concerned. This is not superstition, but a kind of respect and admiration for the ancestors.
The ancestor of the Chen family once had a Tanhualang in the Qianlong Dynasty, and the official worshiped Yin, the Jiazhou Mansion. After his death, he was buried in the ancestral tomb of the Chen family, his tomb is the most luxurious and atmospheric one in the cemetery, and it is also the best in Chenshan Village, where Chen Jinyuan's family is located, and even the surrounding ten miles and eight townships, which has always been the pride of the Chen family. It is this tomb that Chen's mother is talking about.
A few years ago, this tomb was also rated as one of the top ten protected cultural relics in Porcelain County by the County Cultural Relics Bureau. said that it was protection, but in fact, it was just a monument erected next to the cemetery, and those people only ate and did not do anything, and they had to rely on themselves to protect it.
After the county report, the entire porcelain capital county knew that there was such a big tomb in Chenshan Village. Because the owner of the tomb used to be a big official, there must have been a lot of things with the burial, and there have been several groups of tomb robbers before and after, but they were all discovered by the villagers and failed. Unexpectedly, this group of tomb robbers still didn't give up, and here they are again.
"When? Did the thief catch it? Do you know who did it? Chen Jinyuan hurriedly asked.
Wang Xiuzhen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Just the night three days ago!" Who else would be so lacking in morality, it was the yellow-haired man who did it! Chen Jinyuan quietly listened to Wang Xiuzhen talk about the ins and outs of the matter.
"Uh...... Huang Mao ...... "Chen Jinyuan was a little stunned after listening to Wang Xiuzhen's words, Wang Xiuzhen said Huang Mao, of course Chen Jinyuan knew it, and he was very familiar with it. Huang Mao is just a nickname, his real name is Huang Xiaogui, and he used to be classmates in elementary school and junior high school with Chen Jinyuan. At that time, Huang Xiaogui's grades were poor, his character was even worse, and he often bullied his classmates, so almost everyone in the class hated him except for his group of fox friends and dog friends. Chen Jinyuan was not less bullied by him at that time, but he never went to the teacher to sue once, not that Chen Jinyuan dared to be angry and dared not speak, so he was easy to bully, but because he knew that even if he went to the teacher to sue him, it would be useless.
Because Huang Mao's father, Huang Zhongfa, is the head of Panlong Township and an official! And his father is just an ordinary ordinary ordinary person.
