At 8 o'clock in the morning on January 24, 1978, my mother prepared New Year's goods and 500,000 yuan in cash for Uncle Pingchuan, Uncle Shuyuan, Brother Furong and Brother Fugui, and Brother Jingtian, Jing Di and I drove them to the train station to catch the train.

When we got to the train station, we found a place to park, and then, with the luggage and belongings of the four of them, we couldn't go to the train station.

When we arrived at the square outside the train station, it was already crowded with migrant workers who were going home for the Chinese New Year!

"Uncle! Aunt! You follow me, Ah Cai, Jing Di, Fu Rong and Fu Fu, and we will squeeze through the crowd with our things! Otherwise, we're going to miss the car! ”

Brother Jing Tian looked at his watch and told everyone!

Brother Fu Rong said, "Dad! You bring me that bag with money! You've lost these! We don't have to spend this year! ”

Then, after the five of us took all the luggage and belongings, the two old men followed us, and Jing Tiange used his ID card to ask the other passengers to make way for us, and we squeezed into the waiting room step by step from the crowd.

At this time, Uncle Pingchuan and their train ticket check-in entered the station, so Brother Jingtian and I lent their luggage and belongings to Brother Furong and Brother Fugui, and after we sent them to line up to enter the station, we left the train station and returned to Jiangbinlou's house in our own car.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, when we returned home, my mother, Meixin's sister-in-law, Fei Fei, Anbang, Yanfang, Kexin, Xiaoda, Hong Kong Sheng, Cai Jinghua and Lilan all went to the street to play.

I, Jingtiange, and Jingdi were drinking tea and chatting in the living room.

Jing Di smiled and said, "Alas! Big brother! I feel that there are so many people in China! This morning, at least hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the square outside the train station, right?! ”

Brother Jing Tian smiled and said, "Yes! We account for a quarter of the world's population! And the population of North America is only a quarter of us! So, just coming back from San Francisco, it definitely feels like there are too many people here! In fact, now, there are almost so many people at the train station all year round! Trains are the most convenient and economical means of transportation in the mainland! Therefore, everyone chooses to take the train when they run long distances! ”

Jing Di smiled and said, "Alas! Big brother! If I go back to the mainland to live! I really like the overseas lifestyle! Now overseas, there is no crowding, and you can take a plane when you go out! Individuals have a lot of time to do their own thing! ”

Brother Jing Tian smiled and said, "Ah Cai, Jing Di! There must be a shortage of resources when there are too many people! However, there are also advantages to having more people, it is better to say that you can do anything when there are more people! And if there is more, business can be more prosperous! Now, Leanne and Caixia's breakfast shop in their hotel can sell tens of thousands of breakfasts in one morning! If you earn a dime for breakfast, you can earn thousands of dollars here! In the past, our rice noodle shop in Daling Town couldn't earn thousands of yuan a year! ”

Jing Di smiled and said, "Oh! It turns out that there are so many benefits to having more people! Then, in the future, we still have to go back to the mainland to do business, or run an industry! In the future, we will definitely earn more than Sister Leanne! ”

Everyone laughed!

Jingtian Brother said: "Alas! Actually, our family has a lot of money now! Even if we don't make money! Our family can't run out of money! Therefore, ah! Respect Di! You and Lilan should study and do scientific research in San Francisco! In the future, you will do things that you can't do with money! Contribute more wisdom and strength to the country and the people! Ahh You and Yanfang should also think about how to live a peaceful life, your hard work and achievements over the years are worthy of anyone! It's time for you to step back from the line of fire! Let someone else do the task for you! ”

I said, "Alas! Actually, we're still young! I didn't feel like I should have quit! However, it was really time for me to change my work and lifestyle! Let's help you guard this overseas base and position in Port City! ”

Jing Di smiled and said, "Alas! Brother Acai always gives others hope and motivation to live! After graduating from Lilan University and I with our Ph.D., we started our business in Port City, and then put our research base, production base and market in the mainland! In this way, the mainland and the international market can be fully connected! At that time, domestic products and services can smoothly enter the international market! ”

Brother Jingtian said: "Okay! Where there is a dream, there is a future! When we go back to Daling to go to my father's grave on the 27th of the first month, Jingdi, tell your father what you think! He will bless you! Last year, my mother and I recovered the bones of our father Qin Tianhao through insiders, and we reburied his old man in the place where he was originally clothed! His soul should wait until it rests! ”

......

At 11 a.m. on January 26, Jingdi, Jingdi, and Jingtiange picked up Sister Lifen, Brother-in-law Xiaodong, Kewen, and Xue'er at the military airport.

Mother, Wei Ma, Mei Xin, Yan Fang, Hong Kong Sheng, Xiao Da, Ke Xin, Li Lan, Cai Jinghua, Brother Lide, Sister Caiyan, Sister Caixia and Sister Li'an greeted them at home.

After their mother and Wei's mother arranged their housing and put their luggage, everyone watched TV, drank tea and chatted in the living room.

The mother smiled and said, "Alas! Lifen, Xiaodong! When you come back, our family will be counted as all the people for the New Year! Tomorrow morning, our family, as well as the Lan family and the Cen family, will go back to Daling Town to worship our ancestors and play! ”

Cai Jinghua smiled and said, "Okay! After waiting for a few days, we can finally go back to Daling Town, I want to visit my parents and other relatives, and see the mountains and rivers we are familiar with! ”

Everyone laughed!

......

At 8 o'clock in the morning on January 27, after breakfast, Wei Ma and Mei Xin's sister-in-law helped everyone prepare supplies for going to Daling Town to worship their father, as well as dry food, drinks, luggage and gifts for the Cai family on the road.

Yanfang and I were in the room preparing our luggage and cash etc.

After everyone prepared their luggage and belongings, Brother Lan Feng drove a business car and took Teacher Cen, Uncle Lan, Xiaoda, Kexin, Brother Lide, and Sister Caiyan to our backyard.

Then, Mother, Wei Ma, Jing Tiange, Mei Xin, An Bang, Fei Fei, Sister Li Fen, Xiaodong's brother-in-law, Ke Wen, Xue'er, me, Yan Fang, Hong Kong Sheng, Jing Di and Li Lan took their luggage and belongings and boarded a minibus that Jing Tiange borrowed from the Police Academy.

After all our belongings and personnel got into the car, we left the yard and set off for Daling Town in two cars.

In the car, Brother Jing Tian and brother-in-law Xiaodong were responsible for driving.

Mother, Wei's mother, Yanfang, Sister Lifen and sister-in-law Meixin were chatting with Feifei and Xue'er.

I, Hong Kong Sheng, Lilan, Anbang, Kewen and others sat next to each other, and we chatted while looking at the scenery outside the venue.

Kewen smiled and said, "Uncle Acai! It's so hot here, you have the same winter here as we do in the summer! Look! Green everywhere! The mountains and rivers here are so beautiful! ”

I said, "Yes! We heard your sister's name, Cher! We knew it was starting to feel cool! ”

Everyone laughed!

Anbang said: "Kewen! In the future, you and Cher will come to school with us! That way, you won't get cold! ”

Kewen smiled and said, "Alas! My mom said that winter is better here! However, in the summer here, it's so hot that everyone is like a baked sweet potato! I don't want to come to school in your oven! ”

Everyone laughed!

I said, "Ampang! Do you have friends at school? ”

Anbang hugged me and said, "No! The children in our yard are not good! They said my grandfather was a bad guy! Say that my Uncle Acai is a rotten boy! Therefore, I beat them to the point of nosebleeds! My parents told me that my grandfather was a martyr, and my uncle was a hero! But how dare they say I'm bragging! So, I hit them! However, my teachers and my father taught me, and they said that they can't hit anyone if they have a reason! However, if I don't beat them, how can they be reasonable?! Right? Uncle Cai! ”

I said, "Ampang! You're all kids! You and those kids aren't too sensible! Of course, you're right! However, hitting someone really isn't the best way to do it! If others don't know, you don't need to be angry and reason with them, you can keep silent! Do you understand? Silence is the best reply! If you always hit people, others really think you're a bad boy! ”

Everyone laughed!

Anbang smiled and said, "Uncle Acai! Your level of education is really high! You help me explain the matter, and in the future, I will just ignore those fools and blind people! ”

Everyone laughed again!

.......

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, our two cars rushed to the foot of my father's grave in Daling Town.

By this time, a stone staircase road had been built here, which led directly to my father's cemetery.

After we parked our vehicles in the open space on the side of the road, we removed all the sacrificial items from the cars.

Then, Teacher Cen asked Sister Caiyan and Brother Lide to take away Feifei, Xue'er and other two ignorant little girls and wait for us in the car.

After a large group of us brought offerings and waited, we followed Teacher Cen, Uncle Lan, Brother Jingtian and Brother Lan Feng up the mountain.

Since the steps were easier to follow, we soon arrived at my father's cemetery.

By this time, the cemetery had been renovated.

Teacher Shum, Uncle Lan, Brother Jing Tian, Brother-in-law Xiaodong, Me, Xiaoda, Gang Sheng, Jing Di and Cai Jinghua took tools to clean the weeds and branches around the cemetery, and the branches cleaned the front of the grave and the cemetery platform.

Mother, Wei Ma, Sister Limei, Lilan, Mei Xin, Yan Fang and Ke Xin put sacrifices on the altar in front of the tombstone, including boiled pork, boiled chicken, boiled fish, candy and snacks.

We lit candles and incense in front of my father's grave and around the cemetery, and firecrackers were lit next to the cemetery of Xiaoda and Jingdi!

Subsequently, Teacher Cen took out the magic weapon, burned paper money and runes, and walked a few laps in front of his father's grave with divine steps.

He said, "O heaven! I'm Brother Cen Huatian! Today! I brought your family, sons, daughters, daughters-in-law, aunts, grandchildren, and grandchildren to see you! Your son Qin Jing is amazing, he has already avenged you! Your spirit in heaven can rest in peace! Heaven will bless us all! Smooth and smooth! ”

Teacher Cen took another turn and said, "Okay! Your dad got the situation! Bow down to your father, make a wish, offer incense, and burn paper money in batches! ”

Mother and Mother Wei worship first; Then came the eldest brother's family; Sister Lifen's family; Me, Yan Fang, Hong Kong Sheng, and Cai Jinghua; Xiaoda and Kexin; Jing Di and Lilan worshipped.

At the end of the service, we burned all the paper money and incense sticks.

Then, the mothers put the offerings that they could use boiled pork, boiled chicken, boiled fish, and other offerings back into the basket, and they went down the mountain first.

After we set off the firecrackers and extinguished the firecrackers, we also went down the mountain in the smoke of firecrackers!

When we arrived at the bottom of the mountain, Mr. Cen and Uncle Lan picked a lot of grapefruit leaves, which were used to soak in water and wash hands at home to ward off evil spirits! After packing up our things and getting into the car, we went straight back to the Qin family's ancestral house in Daling Town.

Our two cars are here, and I have been absent from my ancestral house for 8 years!

The original old houses here are gone, and the new three-story quadrangle courtyard style Huabang residential buildings with reinforced concrete structures, the roofs of these buildings are made of red glazed tiles, and the walls are made of repaired red bricks!

This house has a front yard, a middle yard and a back yard, the front yard has an entrance and exit gate, several vehicles can be parked in the yard, and there are flower beds and pools in the middle and back yards, and the whole layout is particularly spacious and transparent!

The two of us parked in the front yard, and we all took our luggage and belongings to the main living room of the central hall.

At this time, Uncle Luo and Aunt Luo, who helped us take care of the home, made us tea.

Mother and Mother Wei arranged a room for us, and then set us up to put our luggage and visit the interior layout and layout of the ancestral house.

The construction area of the new ancestral house is more than 3,000 square meters, and the interior layout and decoration are carried out in accordance with the Western-style practical way, with the main living room, large dining room, kitchen, maid's room and storage room in the middle hall, and other places are complete Western-style apartments, with several bedrooms, living rooms, study rooms and toilets in the single apartment.

The furnishings in the rooms are all mahogany furniture, electrical appliances and bedding are new, and there are more than 30 such apartments in total.

After putting our luggage, washing up and visiting, we all went back to the main living room, where the furniture was all mahogany, and everyone sat here to drink tea and chat.

After everyone finished lunch, Teacher Cen, Uncle Lan, Brother Lan Feng, Xiaoda, Ke Xin, Brother Lide, Sister Caiyan and others were ready to go back to the ancestral house of the Cen family to rest.

Teacher Cen smiled and said, "Our mansion has also been renovated!" Uncle Six, they are still helping us take care of the home! Magnolia! Let's go back to the Cen family compound first! If you want to fish tomorrow, go to the Cen family compound to find us! ”

Then, they drove away in a van.

After they left, my mother asked Jingtiange, me and Jingdi to drive and send Meixin, Cai Jinghua, Anbang and Fei Fei to Cai's house to give gifts and visit the old people of Cai's family.

In this way, we drove to Cai's house, and when we arrived at Cai's parents, Cai's eldest brother and Cai's second brother, etc., greeted us at home.

We gave the Cai family a set of electrical appliances, foreign wine, red wine and gifts, etc., and the eldest brother gave the Cai family 1 million yuan in cash.

They were very happy when they received the gifts!

Then, we chatted with everyone over tea in the living room.

Because, Jing Di and I left Daling Town before we grew up, and at this moment, our appearance and figure are no longer the same as before! Therefore, the Cai family no longer has any impression of the two of us!

After we finished giving gifts and chatting, Jingtiange, Meixin, Cai Jinghua, Anbang and Fei Fei wanted to stay at Cai's house for dinner!

Since Jing Di and I were going home to spend time with our families, we said goodbye to the Cai family and drove home.

Back at home, me, Jingdi, Mother, Yanfang, Lilan, Hong Kong Sheng, Sister Lifen, Brother Xiaodong, Kewen and Xue'er drank tea and chatted in the living room at home.

Lilan said, "Mom! I still think that the old house used to be good, but you changed it like this, and all the memories of our childhood were gone! ”

The mother said, "Alas! Your father's old house was built in 1947, and it has been 30 years since last year! After we moved to Yongcheng, the original old houses began to fall into disrepair, the roof tiles and corrugated walls were almost broken, and the wood such as the horizontal strips and beams and columns of the houses were also rotten! The whole house of the old house is like a ruined temple! Therefore, we can't bear to look at that dilapidated scene! So, Jing Di and I decided to change the original old house to the current reinforced concrete structure! The purpose of this is to maintain the house in the future without that much trouble! Do you understand?! ”

Brother Xiaodong smiled and said, "Mom! I think the house now is better than before, it looks foreign! It was much more comfortable to live in! In the future, we will come back here often for vacations! ”

Lilan smiled and said, "Brother-in-law! You have to think it's good here! Don't go this time! Stay here for a long time! ”

Brother Xiaodong smiled and said, "Alas! Lilan! You're still as fast and talkative as ever! Actually, everyone is nostalgic, but we can't keep everything we used to have! We should adapt to modern beauty! Is that so?! Foreign students! ”

Everyone laughed!

Kewen smiled and said, "Dad! If our family really goes back to Daling Town to live in peace, will Xue'er and I have a place to study? ”

Lilan smiled and said, "Alas! There is an international famous school here, Daling Primary School! Your Uncle Acai, Aunt Yanfang, Uncle Xiaoda and other talents have all been cultivated there! This school's famous school is not worth your school?! ”

Everyone laughed!

The mother smiled and said, "Lilan! In the future, you should speak seriously, you don't lie to children! I'll take you to the street tomorrow, the mountain goods here are very fresh! Everybody buy a little to go home! ”

Hong Kong Sheng smiled and said, "Brother-in-law! Tomorrow, you and your sister will take me to Daling Elementary School to play! ”

Lilan said, "Good! Tomorrow, I'll take a picture of you! I will do my best to capture your voices and smiles, and help you leave you with eternal and beautiful memories! ”

Everyone laughed!
