Chapter 115: Going to the Grave
Thanks to "Swamp Fish 123" for the tip!!! Ask for collections, ask for recommended tickets!!
stayed at home for one night, and the next morning, Ji Feng took Xu Xian back to the hotel, and after breakfast, the car arranged by the city government had been parked at the door, and when Ji Feng and others boarded the car, the driver drove the group to the countryside in the suburbs. Originally, Ji Feng didn't want to trouble others, but it was difficult to be gracious, so Ji Feng just let them go.
Toyota Scott with a government license plate was driving on the wide and flat suburban road, Ji Feng's mood became heavier and heavier, his thoughts were blurry, and his mind recalled the bits and pieces when his parents were alive from time to time, clear and unforgettable, like a slide show, emerging over and over again.
Xu Xian gently accompanied Ji Feng's side, always holding Ji Feng's arm, his head gently leaning on Ji Feng's arms and being silent, using his body to warm the heart of her husband next to her.
The cemetery of Ji Feng's family was placed in the best location of a small hill, when his parents chose a site for his grandfather, this cemetery had just begun to be planned, and he spent a lot of money to directly buy the best piece of feng shui treasure land, and buried his grandfather and grandmother in this cemetery in his hometown.
But who would have imagined that just a few years later, his parents passed away with his grandparents, leaving only himself who was just 17 years old and a large number of superb relatives.
The Ji family has always been not prosperous, grandpa is alone, and there are only two sisters in the grandmother's family in the same village. Although he still has an aunt, because he has a bad quarrel with his grandfather since he was a child, he usually doesn't come to the grave of his grandparents at all, and there are some relatives in his grandfather's house, but those relatives have rarely interacted in recent years, all because of the real estate and savings left by his parents.
The graves of grandparents and parents are tightly collared, the area of the cemetery is not large, the two graves are covered with dense weeds, and even Ji Feng found a hare burrow behind the grave of his grandparents. The whole cemetery may be located in the countryside, a little far from the city, and the management is completely unmanaged, except for a few people who guard the door and prevent fires, it is usually uncared for, so some wild things are also normal. A few crows and sparrows chirped in the trees, adding a touch of supernatural horror to this secluded cemetery, but also as if to tell grandparents and parents that your grandson and son have brought their daughter-in-law to see you.
Looking at the first piece of tombstone that gradually fell off its color after being exposed to the wind and sun, Ji Feng felt sad for a while, his grandfather loved him very much when he was young, but when he died, he was still young, and his ignorant self didn't realize that the grandfather who loved him the most would never come back.
Holding Xu Xian's hand and kneeling in front of the grave of his grandparents, while introducing Xu Xian, the granddaughter-in-law, to his grandfather, while burning yellow paper money, the thin yellow paper is like a thin human affection, thin and almost transparent, but the burning flames are still cheering and jumping, as if wishing grandpa, grandma and parents all the best over there, and at the same time wishing the four elders a spirit in the sky, happiness and health.
In turn, he made offerings, incense, and burned paper money on the graves of the four elders, and Zuihou Ji Feng took Xu Xian to kowtow to the four elders three times in a pious manner.
Xu Xian, who was beside him from beginning to end, also solemnly and reverently performed a big salute, greeting and blessing the happiness of heaven to the four elders, assuring the four elders that he would be a good daughter-in-law of the Ji family, and actively staring at the thin Ji family. As a traditional South Korean woman, Xu Xian knows that for any big family, the prosperity of the people is extremely important, maybe the Ji family has declined due to various reasons in the past, but Ji Feng's body has been shining again, until this time heard Ji Feng tell in front of the graves of the elders, she understood Ji Feng's desire to have more relatives and children.
Seeing that Ji Feng and Xu Xian had finished going to the grave, Kim Tae-hee led the two people to Ji Feng's front from the side: "Boss, these two are Mayor Li here, and Manager Liu of this cemetery." ”
Ji Feng took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and calmed his mood, then turned his head to look at the two of them and said, "Manager Liu, find someone to help me repair my two tombs, repair them better, money is not a problem." After speaking, he glanced at the other secretary behind Kim Tae-hee, who immediately took out a bundle of cash and sent it to Manager Liu.
Ji Feng came back to the grave and chose today because it happened to be his parents' sacrifice day, and in the past, he would add some new soil every year, but now that he has money, and then he sees some dilapidated graves, Ji Feng thinks that he has to let his grandfather, grandmother and parents live comfortably in another shijie, and at the same time, if it is known that he has countless massive funds, but the graves of the elders are still bare and convex, and his face is not good-looking.
Of course, this repair is only for the moment, Ji Feng then said to Mayor Li: "Mayor Li, I want to buy this cemetery, I don't know if the town can decide on this matter?" ”
Mayor Li hurriedly said politely: "Of course, Mr. Ji's words, you can send someone to the town with me to go through the formalities, and you can look at the price." "He received a call from his superiors last night, knowing that Ji Feng would go back to the town today, originally he wanted to come over, no matter how Ji Feng grew up in the town when he was a child, I am afraid that there is still a little feeling, if he can bring investment to the town, it would be the best, even if it is not right now, then he can also plan for the long term.
But his superiors warned him that it was best not to do this, Ji Feng was here to go to the grave, where did he have the heart to think about anything else at this time. What he didn't expect was that when he was thinking about how to get to Ji Feng in the town, Ji Feng's secretary found him.
Ji Feng nodded slightly, looked at the somewhat desolate cemetery, and said, "Just go according to the market price in terms of money, I won't touch the light of the town in this regard." When I was a child, my grandfather and parents often taught me that I can't forget my roots, and now I have the conditions, and I also want to make some contributions to my hometown, Mayor Li I will donate 10 million to the town, in addition to repairing the road to Mazhuang, the rest of the school in the town is repaired or something, you look at it for me. Hearing this, Kim Tae-hee nodded quickly, took out the checkbook from his bag, opened a check for 10 million, and handed it to Mayor Lee.
Mayor Li took the check with some excitement, and the old mayor in his fifties said with his eyes a little red: "I will be on behalf of the town's fathers and villagers, Mr. Ji, don't worry, I will be responsible for this money on the ground, and whoever dares to reach out will stomp on his paws." Mr. Ji, in fact, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”
After seeing Ji Feng's inquiring eyes, Mayor Li continued to sigh: "Mr. Ji has lived in our Shuangquan Town since he was a child, you know the environment here, it is far away from the urban area, and it is all mountainous areas, industry and agriculture are not developed, and the villagers in the town are living hard, Mr. Ji instead of donating 10 million, it is better to use this money to start a business in the town, so that more villagers can go to the road of hard work and prosperity." ”
Ji Feng smiled, feeling a little sad for Mayor Li's mind. Shuangquan Town is the poorest township in Cangbei District under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng, and Jiangcheng, the provincial capital, is a little incompatible, nearly 100 kilometers away from the urban area, there are no minerals and not much land to cultivate in the town, even planting fruits in the mountains, but also because of the problem of water and soil are all bitter fruits, almost the entire Jiangcheng believes that Shuangquan Town really has no industry to develop.
Almost all the young people here have gone out, and there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the town, and no one with a little ability is willing to stay, and because of this, when other towns take turns to change mayors, Mayor Li, who was born and raised, has stayed here for more than ten years.
Ji Feng thought for a moment and said, "Mayor Li, I can't give you an answer now, so when I send someone over later, I will let them come to the town to investigate, and if there is a suitable project, I will try to let them come to the town." ”
Mayor Li hurriedly expressed his gratitude, and at the same time asked Manager Liu to repair Ji Feng's ancestral grave, Zuihou saw that Ji Feng and Xu Xian personally took a shovel to eradicate the weeds on the grave, and at the same time dug new soil from the side to add to the grave, and also wanted to go up to help, but when he thought of the rules here, he quickly stopped.
According to the customs of Shuangquan Town, only the younger generations of relatives have this qualification to build the graves of the elders, and if others do it, it will weaken the filial piety of the younger generations, and at the same time, it is rumored that the feng shui of the main family will also be damaged.
At noon, Ji Feng and Xu Xian stayed in the town to have a farmhouse meal, during which Mayor Li personally put the contract for the sale and purchase of the proposed cemetery into the cemetery and brought it over, and Ji Feng signed it and directly paid the land payment, which was not too high. The hill of nearly 2,000 acres full of cypress trees is a little far away from the city after it was set up as a cemetery, so until now only some people in the town will be buried in it after their parents pass away, and there are only a few hundred graves when it is full.
Such a large area, but because of the underdeveloped economy of Shuangquan Town, it only takes 100,000 yuan per year to get it, which makes Ji Feng sigh a little too cheap. However, when I thought of the grave where I buried my parents, it only cost a few hundred yuan, and compared with the high-priced cemetery in the urban area, which is often tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, it is understandable that the price here is not high.
After returning to the city in the afternoon, Ji Feng asked Kim Tae-hee to find the civil affairs department and asked them to take care of the Shuangquan cemetery, and then lost 20 million yuan to the civil affairs department again for the treatment of poor children and major diseases.
Let Kim Tae-hee find a full-time manager to manage the cemetery, and in the evening Ji Feng and Xu Xian took gifts to Uncle Liu's house for dinner, and after staying at home for another night, the next day they took the portraits and tablets of their parents, and entrusted the house to Aunt Liu's family, and took a private jet to the imperial capital.
