In the eighties of the last century, with the deepening of reform and opening up, everyone made a lot of money, Guo Kaiqing remembered that the last time he went home, the village also built some "Beijing flat" or tile houses, this time I came back to see, many of them have built a 'building', there are two floors, and there are three floors, just about to insert 'five, star, red flag', otherwise it is exactly the same as the consulate of the United States in G city.

With money, there is naturally culture and civilization, but this cannot be dispelled, the remnants of China's 5,000-year history, although Guo's father's funeral has long been over, but this time Guo Kaiqing went to the grave, and let the dead old man be beautiful.

Chen Shuqin was afraid that Guo Kaiqing would not bring enough money, and before Guo Kaiqing arrived home, the three thousand yuan she mailed arrived, three thousand yuan is not a small amount, which is equivalent to all of Guo Kaiqing's savings, Chen Shuqin has already thought about it now, she doesn't want to spend Guo Kaiqing's money, so she took out all the part of her passbook, Guo Kaiqing, she has a hunch, 'Now the era is different, she and her husband have grown up, and the admiration of Mei Lu has slowly faded away, and only their sons are connected to them, There is also an empty family that does not reunite for long. ’

came to remittance, Guo Kaiqing was not polite, he said to the sixth brother Guo Kaiying, "This money can just come in handy, I have been gone for many years, people are not often contacted, it is not good for me to come forward to find someone to help, and it will not be favored in the future, then it depends on you, look at your ability, anyway, I want to make this grave matter bigger, and the money can be spent." ”

"Don't worry, fifth brother. My friends can use whatever you want, I'll take advantage of the favors, and I'll let them report to you tomorrow. ”

The eldest brother Guo Kaiwei, due to various reasons, left City A and went to work in the police office of City A in the capital, and the sister-in-law of the Guo family also took on the trivial work of going to the grave. I also work in a crematorium. Naturally, she should be the main one.

On the auspicious day of the zodiac, Guo Kaiqing, surrounded by everyone, wore filial piety clothes, and came to Guo's father's grave all the way. There are other children surnamed Guo in City A. They are also the same as Guo Kaiqing. Plain clothes lined up on either side.

Guo's father's grave is located in the old Guo family's 'ration field', although the Guo family's descendants. Basically, they have been separated from the peasant component, but Guo's mother and fourth son Guo Kaixin are still agricultural households, so the two of them naturally do not need to be handed over, and Guo Kaiying will find someone to act as an agent for the farming work, and at the end of the year, as long as Guo's mother is given 200 catties of rice as rations, it will be OK.

Guo's father's 'grave' is very ordinary, only a grave bag, no monument in front of the grave, this is Guo's mother decided, she thinks, this is just a temporary 'resting place', after a long time, it is better to go back to your hometown for burial, because that is the old Guo family's 'ancestral grave' location.

'Deacon' read aloud the sacrificial text, this article is from Guo Kaiying's hand, now he has long 'graduated from a bachelor's degree', he is already a rising 'new star' in the police circle of City A, in the eyes of outsiders, Guo Kaiying is a person who can 'settle things', whether it is 'white-way' or 'black-way', he has to give him face, he has surpassed the influence of his eldest brother Guo Kaiwei, his eldest brother is a person who does not know practice, and people are relegated to other places.

After reading the sacrificial text, the descendants of the Guo family kowtowed to the front of the grave one by one and burned the paper, and now among the brothers in City A, only Guo Kaiqing is the biggest, and Guo Kaixin has not come out yet.

Guo Kaiqing was more than ten meters away from the head of the grave, so he knelt down, and he crawled forward while crying, "Dad, unfilial son, your fifth son, Guo Kaiqing is back." These words were repeated many times, and there were no new statements.

The high incense on the grave, the 'deacon' has already been on it, and Guo Kaiqing's on the 'small incense', after he knelt and lit the 'small incense', the deacon helped him insert it in the incense burner, and Guo Kaiqing's head began.

"Bang Bang Bang", there should have been three kowtows, but I don't know how many Guo Kaiqing kowtowed, I can't count them, but fortunately, he kowtowed in the field, the land is very soft, otherwise he would have to knock his head down.

"Pull the fifth child up, what does this look like." The sister-in-law of the Guo family works in the funeral home, so she naturally knows the relevant etiquette, and two young men came up around and set up Guo Kaiqing.

"Let me kowtow to my dad two more times, let me kowtow two more."

"Do you want to knock as much as you want, how much you want to knock, you have to knock home, don't make people laugh here."

There are very few rare things in the village, this time Guo Kaiqing went home to the grave, it has already caused a sensation, and there are many onlookers today, all looking from afar, all wanting to see the 'liveliness' of the old Guo family.

Let the sister-in-law say this, Guo Kaiqing had no choice but not to cry or kowtow, after all, today's juniors are very together, and several nephews are looking at him. ’

Then kowtowed to Guo Kaiying, and after he finished saluting, he transferred to the next generation.

The eldest son of the long house, the second son of the long house, the eldest and the second are all in Guo Kaiwei's family, looking at the eldest nephew who has grown up, Guo Kaiqing's heart is happy, and he still talks to Guo Kaiying without paying attention.

"This time my father is always happy, do you see, this little Guo Boss's momentum is no less than our eldest brother, I see, he is better than his father."

"That is, this kid is very sensible, but he doesn't study very well, and he's going to find a job soon."

"Who in our family studies well, what's the use of studying well, you say, the eldest brother studies well, the third brother or I study well, needless to say the fourth, aren't you the same, it took several years to get in." Guo Kaiqing did not mention the second brother, because the second brother studied well, but he had already passed away, leaving a son still young, so it was okay not to mention it.

"It's different now than before, you can't do it if you don't study, maybe in a few years, the country will popularize universities, and when the time comes, you won't be able to do it if you don't have culture."

"If you can't do it, you can't do it, it's a big deal to learn to do business, and now the country still advocates personal enrichment."

"I don't understand with you." Guo Kaiying has long seen the 'situation' clearly, and believes that this study is very necessary, and it is not possible without culture. Many years later, among the third generation of the Guo family, only Guo Kaiying's son was admitted to the "National Key University", and the others, although they also have a 'university diploma', are all 'back-up'.

"Shang Offering" as a big drama in the tomb, on the table in front of the tomb, there are more than 100 dishes, this dish is specially invited to do, it is the Guo family's sister-in-law introduced the 'underworld chef', according to her, this dead person, what he likes to eat, what he likes to eat, only the master Fu knows the way, the dishes in the yang world, the dead can not eat.

The last item is to burn 'paper work', this truckload of paper work, cost Guo Kaiqing all the money, 'paper boys, virgins', "gold and silver mountains", "cash cows", "buildings", "cars", "telephones", all the things in the world are basically made into 'paper work', Guo Kaiqing is very happy, he thinks in his heart, "The living father did not get him" Now doing this is not only for the dead, but also for the living, which is what the Chinese people call 'face problems'."

In a burst of firecrackers, Guo Kaiqing's 'sacrifice' ended, the firecrackers rang for more than half an hour, the field in front of the grave, covered with several layers of firecracker crumbs, everyone stepped on the top and went back, along the way, there were many people in the village who talked to each other.

"This old Guo family is "reversed", how much does it cost today? ”

"How much money is it, it's not spent on you, people have money, I heard that this money is all from the old five."

"Isn't he just an army officer, where did he get so much money, isn't it a good way to come from?"

"Don't talk nonsense, let the family hear, don't dare to mess with that Guo Lao Liu now, he is a powerful person."

When they were children, these people looked down on them, they all thought that their family was too poor, and told their daughters not to play with the old Guo family, their family couldn't even eat, so they were afraid that the girl would fall in love with the Guo brothers.
