Tiandu City is adjacent to Tiannan City, and it takes only half an hour to drive. The two cities are just as prosperous and developed. However, Tiannan City is more economically prosperous than Tiandu. After all, Tiannan City is the premier special economic zone in China and a first-tier city.

Lou Yufei was half-lying on a wicker chair in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, staring at the grape trellis above her head.

"Fei Fei, in the afternoon, let's go to the hundred-year-old temple in the back mountain to make incense. By the way, see if there are any fresh mushrooms in the mountains, pick some and take them back to the city. Lou's mother came over with a bowl of grapes and said.

"Oh, okay. Anyway, it's been a bit unpleasant lately. Lou Yufei looked at the big yellow dog outside the courtyard gate casually.

"You are so busy with work, it is rare to take a vacation, this time you have a good time at your uncle's house. Don't think about all that nonsense. Lou's mother sat down beside her and placed the fruit bowl on the small round table woven of rattan.

"I see, I didn't think about those things. I was just wondering why my dad and brother hadn't come home yet. Lou Yufei sat down, picked up a big purple grape and put it in her mouth, "Well, this self-grown grape is delicious." ”

The sweet grape juice stimulated her taste buds uncontrollably, and for some reason, she suddenly remembered Li Shaoting's kiss...

"Of course the unpolluted grapes are delicious." Lou's mother looked at her smiling daughter and smiled comfortably.

"Mom, where did my cousin go? Why don't you see him? Could it be that he went to work for the summer? Lou Yufei came back to her senses, looked at the empty courtyard and said.

My uncle works in an agency in the city, and he only comes back on weekends. My aunt works as a teacher at an elementary school near her home, growing vegetables and crops in her spare time. Her grandparents died two years ago. The only cousin also went to college in the city, so the three-story farmhouse seemed even more empty and lonely.

"Sister!" A crisp tenor voice came in from outside the open courtyard door.

From afar, my cousin saw the dazzling cousin in the courtyard. He flew into the door with open arms and hugged Lou Yufei, who had not yet reacted.

"I really said that Cao Cao Cao will arrive." Lou Yufei patted her cousin's back and said.

"Yo, Liu Zihao, you have grown taller and stronger." Lou Yufei let go of her hand, looked at the handsome guy who was about the same height as her and smiled.

"Sister, I'm not as tall as you, I'm really inferior." Liu Zihao scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Sister, didn't Ajie go home?" ”

Lou Yujie is Lou Yufei's younger brother. Similar in age to his cousin.

"No, they have a sports day at their school recently, and I haven't contacted him."

"Sister, is it true about your rich boyfriend?" Liu Zihao's face was full of gossip.

"Zihao, why is your mouth so broken? Hurry up and wash my vegetables! My aunt ran out of the house and yelled.

"Mom, I just came back..."Liu Zihao's face was full of unhappiness.

"Get in!" The aunt yelled at her son with a handful of celery.

Lou's mother smiled and pulled her brother and daughter-in-law into the house.

Lou Yufei smiled awkwardly, "Haohao, why are you so gossipy?" Me and that, he didn't have that kind of thing at all. ”

"Sister, don't lie to me. This kiss is all kissed, and you still say it's okay? I'm 19 years old, and you're 1 year old, huh? Liu Zihao said softly with a hippie smile.

"I said no, no, no!" Lou Yufei pretended to be angry, and shouted with her hands on her hips.

"You are the eldest sister, you are the goddess of our family! You say no, no, no! Hey! Liu Zihao ran into the house with a schoolbag on his back and a smile.

"Hmph, I'm so angry, this Li Shaoting is really haunted! It seems that I am really going to the Houshan Temple to worship incense and make a wish, let the Bodhisattva take away this dog skin plaster! Lou Yufei sighed and walked outside the courtyard gate.

The rural areas of Tiandu are much richer than the average 18th-tier small cities. Basically, every household has a small courtyard and a small western-style building. The air is excellent, and there are clear rivers that have not been polluted by factories, and green hills stretch everywhere.

Lou Yufei walked on the clean and wide cement road, looking at the surrounding green waters and green mountains, vegetable fields and orchards, and felt comfortable.

Toot toot

Not far away, a series of car horns sounded at the entrance of the village.

Lou Yufei stopped, looked at the black convoy 50 meters away, and muttered, which rich man has returned to his hometown? Make such a big formation?

I saw that the village chief led dozens of villagers to welcome him in the middle of the road, and he almost beat gongs and drums and pulled banners.

Lou Yufei watched it for a while and then went back. Just for a short while, someone in the convoy was targeted. Slim and elegant, she is the most dazzling light wherever she stands.

"Zihao, who is from outside? Such a big formation! As soon as she entered the door, Lou Yufei asked her cousin, who was watching a movie in the living room.

"I don't know, hehe." Liu Zihao looked up and smiled.

"Really, I don't know." Lou Yufei sat down dissatisfied.

"Sister, there are so many people in our village, and some of them moved out when their ancestors were several generations old. They occasionally come back to save their relatives, and we juniors really don't recognize them. ”

"That's just as well."

"Sister, I'm thinking, I'll join the army next semester." Liu Zihao stared at his cousin and said seriously.

"Being a soldier? Why do you suddenly want to be a soldier again? Didn't you do well in college? Lou Yufei said in surprise.

"I was very angry when Applejack went to military school, so I wanted to go too."

"You, don't be half-hearted. Read your NTU well. But if you really want to go to the army and get a workout, that's not bad. But I suggest you discuss it with your uncle first. ”

"I know, sister."

"Feifei, it's time to eat, hurry up and wash your hands." My aunt's soprano voice came from the kitchen.

"Hmm!" Lou Yufei patted her cousin's face and got up to go to the bathroom.

The convoy at the entrance of the village outside was parked in the parking lot on the west side, and there were a total of ten identical black Mercedes-Benz SUVs.

Led by a Mercedes-Benz came down an old man who looked like a fairy-like bone, and he was followed by a tall and handsome man.

The second car came down with several noble ladies, followed by a graceful pregnant woman with swollen limbs.

Other cars came down one after another, some men, women and children dressed in black. Among them are bodyguards, nannies, and young women. Just a young man, only this beautiful man.

"Old man, lunch is eaten in the Li family ancestral hall, and the dishes are all organic vegetables grown by us and our own grain poultry." The village chief nodded and said to the old man with a smile.

The others bowed respectfully to the old man and said hello.

"Village Chief Li, it's good to have a casual family banquet. You take me around first. I'll see if there's been any change in my hometown lately. Oh, I remember the last time I came to worship my ancestors was three years ago..."The old man held the hand of the beautiful man beside him and said unhurriedly.

"Okay, old man, please come here." The village chief said as he stretched out his hand in the direction of the east.

"Shaoting, in the afternoon, you go with me to the back mountain to incense. I'm too old to go into the mountains alone and toss around. The old man patted the beautiful man's big hand and said softly.

"Grandpa, I see." The beautiful man is the future heir of the Li family, Li Shaoting.

This wise old man is the old man of the Li family, the helmsman.

"You and your mother will go to the ancestral hall first, and I will go around with Village Chief Li." The old man let go and said.

Village Chief Li hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man.

"Grandpa, please pay attention to safety, I will go with my mother first." After Li Shaoting told the village chief a few words, he followed Li's mother and others to the Li family ancestral hall. When leaving, he didn't forget to glance at the place where Lou Yufei stopped.

Old Man Li and Village Chief Li walked to the side path. Five meters behind them, four stout men in black bodyguards.

There are only two surnames in Fule Village, the Li family and the Liu family. The Li family ancestral hall is in the south, and the Liu family ancestral hall is in the east. The temple is said to have a history of 100 years and was built during the ancient dynasties. Whenever a funeral or ancestor worship is held in the village, the villagers will go to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings.

Li Shaoting's ancestors were from Fule Village, but his grandfather's grandfather moved his family to Tiannan City after he was engaged in high-risk business. Usually, the old man will take the whole family back to his hometown every year to worship his ancestors. But in recent years, I have been unwell and rarely returned to my hometown.

Li Shaoting grew up in Tiannan since he was a child, and went abroad when he became an adult, so he is naturally not familiar with this place and has no strong emotions. Suddenly seeing Lou Yufei here today, his originally gloomy mood suddenly brightened.

After Lou Yufei finished eating, she drank tea and ate Guakan Mountain with Lou's mother, aunt, and cousin on the open-air balcony on the third floor. It's nothing more than talking about some trivial things in life.

"Auntie, is there a happy event in the village? It looks like it's quite lively. When I went out for a walk before dinner, I saw a lot of Mercedes cars. Lou Yufei asked while knocking on the melon seeds and looking at the Li family ancestral hall with smoke curling in the distance.

"Oh, maybe the old man of the Li family is back. No one else had such a big battle except him. My aunt said casually.

"The Li family? Which Li family? Lou's mother frowned.

"Sister, look at your memory. It's the Li family that is the rival of our old Liu family! The Li family of the Nth generation descendant of Li Juren! My aunt put down her teacup and looked at the parking lot in the distance and said.

"Oh, I remember. It turned out to be his house. No wonder it's so magnificent, the village is so lively and noisy. Even the village chief went to greet him personally. Lou's mother patted her head and said.

"Mom, who? Nemesis? Which Li Juren? "Lou Yufei naturally doesn't know this. Including Liu Zihao, he doesn't know these old things. The fathers were reluctant to mention the affairs of the previous generation.

"That was more than 50 years ago. I just heard from your grandfather. Lou's mother sighed and said.

"My grandfather's father?"

"Hmm."

"Mom, what the hell is going on? Tell me about it. Lou Yufei was curious.

"Yes, sister, I want to know these things too. Tell me about it. Liu Zihao's mother didn't know these past events until she got married, but she vaguely heard people mention them.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's all old and rotten grain. Don't mention it. Besides, now that it's the 21st century, who in our generation still remembers the hatred of our ancestors? Lou's mother shook her head and said.

"Mom." Lou Yufei shook her mother's hand coquettishly.

"Feifei, Zihao, it's time for us to go to the incense." Lou's mother got up and went downstairs.
