After finishing classes in the evening school, Xia Jizu announced the decision to take a holiday, which was of course not a statutory holiday, but he decided privately, because he could no longer teach these students during the Qingming Festival, and no one objected to his willful decision.

Xia Yuanding could naturally guess this news a long time ago, but his heart was as calm as water, and he would not be excited by it.

"No class, where to play, the village is really boring!" Seeing that his grandfather walked away, Xia Yuande said with annoyance.

After Xia Yuanding heard this, he looked back at his cousin who was still walking behind, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Second brother, you may have forgotten, grandpa also said, after coming back, the new words you know will have to be written silently, you can't relax!" ”

"Can you please stop mentioning this stubble!" Saying that he was about to catch up, seeing this, Xia Yuanding hurriedly ran away, and ran home without stopping, panting tiredly.

Seeing his son running home so wildly, Xia Li taught him a lesson: "Just walk home after school, what if you trip and break your head!" ”

"The second brother is chasing me, so I just ran away!" Xia Yuanding hurriedly shook the pot, saying that it was because someone was chasing him.

"It's okay Yuande is chasing you for something, you didn't mess with him!"

"No~" Xia Yuanding replied with a little weakness.

When Xia Shouzhi came home, as soon as he opened his mouth, he talked about important things, and Xia Yuanding had already guessed in his heart.

"I just came back from my father, saying that it was me and the third brother, and I went back with Yuan Ding, Yuan Chu, and Yuan Jie!"

"Why did you bring Yuan Ding and them this year?" Xia Li has always been a little puzzled, and since he first knew that Yuan Ding was going to the county seat, he disagreed a little in his heart.

Speaking of distance, Dushan Village is about the same distance from the town and from the county seat, but it is a little farther away, and if you have to worship your ancestors, you can't come back in one day, and you have to spend the night.

"How do I know this, my father said to take it, then take it, anyway, it's not Yuanding's own child, isn't there still the third brother's family!" Xia Shouzhi didn't ask the specific reason.

"Then don't ask the child if he wants to!" Xia Li said.

"Yuan Ding is probably happy!" While speaking, Xia Shouzhi saw his son's flat expression, and felt a little embarrassed.

"Dad, why do you have to go so far to worship your ancestors, don't we have a lot of mountains?" Xia Yuanding asked.

"You don't know this, Dad told you, in fact, our Xia family has always lived elsewhere, and it was only here that your grandfather moved here, and there was originally a piece of our family's property here."

Xia Yuanding then asked: "Do we still have a lot of land in our family?" ”

Hearing his son ask about the family, Xia Shouzhi was a little embarrassed, whether to tell his son about these things, this is all the grievances of the older generation, according to Xia Jizu's previous words, let the past be like a cloud of smoke, but in fact, Xia Jizu's approach shows that he can't let go of himself.

"You just tell the children, think about it, this time Dad took Yuan Ding and a few of them to go, do you say that Dad is going to write off the things of the year, Dad's actions are obvious, I can see it as a woman, why can't you figure it out!"

Xia Shouzhi was also savoring his wife's reminder carefully, until he sighed, and then said slowly: "Back then, your grandfather didn't know anyone in Sanhe County, but after your grandfather died, your grandfather was killed by the other two brothers when he was a concubine, and because of the unfair division of property, he moved here in a fit of anger!" ”

"Then why don't you go to the government and sue them?" Xia Yuanding asked.

Since concubines and concubines have the same right to inherit property, they can be sued if the family property is not divided equally.

"Going to the government is the last step, not to mention that your grandfather's chances of winning are very low, and the old people in the family at that time did not look at your grandfather!"

Hearing this, Xia Yuanding understood, his grandfather was quite miserable back then, if there was no field here, it would really be no different from a lost dog, and grandpa was also a person with a story!

That's the end of the chatter, so they should hurry up and eat and sleep and wait for tomorrow.

The next day, just like that day when Xia Yuanding went to the town to catch the market, he still got up early in the morning, the moon was still hovering in the sky, and he could feel the night as cold as water.

Xia Yuanding took advantage of the moonlight to see that the two cousins, Yuan Chu and Yuan Jie, really didn't seem to wake up.

Among the three of them, the most reluctant to go was Yuan Chu, so he couldn't play with others, but he didn't expect him to miss the appointment.

"Have you taken everything?" Xia Jizu asked.

"It's all checked, nothing is missing!" Xia Shouzhi said.

"Alright, let's go!"

Xia Shouzhi did not sit on the ox cart, but walked, this ox cart could not sit so many people, he had to take turns walking on the ground with the third brother, which did not affect the trip, and the ox cart could not go fast.

After getting on the ox cart, Xia Yuanding began to catch up on sleep again, and he was lucky, the road was very smooth, he could sleep, just be careful not to catch a cold.

If he could, he hoped to wake up to his destination, which of course was impossible, and he was woken up when it was time to eat breakfast.

"Where is this?" Xia Yuanding asked casually after waking up.

"Listen carefully, do you hear anything?" The third uncle reminded loudly.

Xia Yuanding listened carefully and heard the sound of water, and at the same time immediately found that they stopped on a stone bridge, and the sound of flowing water came from under the bridge, according to Xia Yuanding's judgment, this was the water of the Yingliu River.

It's just that this stone bridge was not erected in the Yingliu River section north of their village, they took a detour and passed through a place where there was a bridge, which undoubtedly increased their trip, but there was no way.

"It's time to Yingliu River!" Xia Yuanding said firmly.

"You're smart, you're hungry, hurry up and eat!"

I took the scallion oil flatbread from my father's hand, smelled the fragrance, he was gluttonous, the surface was golden and golden, and I couldn't wait to take a bite and be satisfied!

At this time, Xia Yuanding has nothing to say, but looking at others, they are all eating cakes with their heads bored, and they are surprisingly consistent at the moment.

After eating the cake and drinking a few more sips of water, Xia Yuanding felt that his stomach was bulging, and it seemed that he was overwhelmed.

The oxcart continued to set off, at this time Xia Yuanding was not sleepy, looking from a distance, the reeds by the river began to grow again, and the aquatic plants in the water also began to have, and then the water surface in the distance, because of the water mist, Xia Yuanding was not sure how many wild ducks were swimming on the water surface.

Because grandpa is in the car, Yuan Chu and Yuan Jie are a little restrained, they have become good babies, only Xia Yuanding does not care about my own way, a look at the east and a look at the west, in the morning, the paulownia tree on the side of the road has bloomed at this time, and the purple trumpet-shaped flowers are bunched one by one, which is very good-looking.

Drive north along the flat dirt road, and when it comes to turning, finally change Xia Shouzhi to drive the ox cart, Xia Yuanding Sanbo gets off the car and walks, and the rest of the journey is all the way to the west.

"Look, that house is so beautiful!" Xia Yuanchu suddenly saw an extremely beautiful mansion, and couldn't help but exclaim, is the house like this.

Xia Yuanding looked over, the corners of his mouth grinned, in his opinion, this is just a better house, it is nothing more than the courtyard wall is very high, the exterior wall is very good-looking, and it looks like a tall courtyard from the outside. From the outside, there is a small two-story building hidden among the grass and trees.

"When you enter the city, it's much better than this!" Xia Yuanjie was the first to hit his brother, in fact, he had heard about it, and he had never been here.

"Grandpa, where is this?" Xia Yuanchu pointed to the house just now and asked, not in the slightest because of his brother's blow.

"This family's surname is Zhang, the large fields I saw just now are all theirs, when I was young, their family was just a small family, I didn't expect to buy such a big family business in a few years!" Xia Jizu said with some embarrassment.

"It's like living in a big house like this!" This was Xia Yuan's original idea, and he didn't dare to say it, because even he felt that this was an extravagant hope, and it was a little distant and unrealizable.

How far is this county town, Xia Yuanding looked at the sun, it is estimated that there must be more than ten points, why don't you even see a city wall, and it is not good to have too much sun.

The only thing that interested him was the occasional carriage that galloped past them, and their ox cart must have been more than a notch faster.

The second time the ox cart stopped, they arrived at a tea shop, and heard from the owner of the tea shop that it was not far from the county seat. They also had lunch at the tea shop and ate the dry food they had brought.

Continuing to hurry, when Xia Yuanding was looking to see through, he finally saw the city wall for the first time, that is, the city wall was slightly dilapidated, and there was not even a moat, could this prevent the siege?

This is about to enter the city, Xia Yuanding has a different mood, thinking about the scene after he enters the city.

Will there be people at the city gate, will there be shops selling things on the street, will the girls upstairs receive guests during the day, who will answer these questions.

"Let's go to the ancestral tomb first, don't go directly to the city, and then go into the city to find a place to live when everything is done!"

When Xia Yuanding heard this, his eyes stared at his grandfather's back, thinking about whether his grandfather's decision was a temporary decision or a long plan, and a few words extinguished the emotions that he had so hard to brew.
