Chapter 543: Ancestral Land

Hekou Village, Qinghe Town, is a very ordinary small village, located by a small river that flows into the bay, and the traffic is smooth. The road was built twenty years ago, and a few years ago, Chen Mo also donated some money to come back to renovate it.

After so many years of development, the villagers have already passed a good life.

This is the location of Chen Mo's ancestral home, and the ancestral ancestral hall is here. I went to elementary school here, and later moved to Huacheng to study because my parents had to work.

In the past few years, it has been the New Year in Binhai City and Huacheng, and this year in the ancestral family, Chen Mo also came back with Xiaoyu and Wushuang.

It's already afternoon, it's not too cold near the New Year, under the reflection of the sun, it's a field of gray and green, buffalo is on the slope, I vaguely see some people pulling bean seedlings in the field, and some are burning dried bean stalks, preparing for the next spring planting, white smoke in the wilderness. The sky is mottled with white clouds, the blue is clear and translucent, and there is no dirty feeling of urban gray and blue.

The picture is harmonious.

This was the first time Wushuang saw the field, and he was hugged by Chen Mo, looking around excitedly through the car window.

"Rake rake, is that a cow? It's not like a cow, there's a calf. ”

"Yes, it's a buffalo, it's not the same as a cow. He can help the farmer with the plough. ”

"Rake, there's a fire there."

"That's the uncle burning the bean stalks, waiting for the spring to come and plant rice." Chen Mo said.

"Oh." The little girl nodded as if she didn't understand, and pointed to the sky again: "What kind of bird is that bird?" ”

"Swallow, look at its scissor tail."

For Wushuang, all of this is novel, and Chen Mo answered all the questions on the road.

Three cars passed through the fields and soon entered the village.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the couplet at the entrance of the village is written to welcome home, and there are small buntings and plastic lanterns hanging above the road, which looks very festive. Occasionally, you can see a banner with yellow letters on a red background, how much money a certain boss has donated to his hometown.

Seeing Chen Mo's car passing by, there was nothing to do on the side of the road, and the aunt who was playing cards and chatting muttered: "Who owns this car?" It's so beautiful, it should be expensive. ”

"Lao Chen's family, the child has developed after finishing college, and has opened a very powerful technology company. Billionaires, with a net worth of more than 100 million, the primary school in the village and the middle school in the town were built with money donated by their families. The cultural stage and temple in the village, as well as the renovated road, were all newly built with money donated by their family, which is blessed. ”

"Are the children of the old Chen family married?"

"I heard that I got married, and I ran it in Binhai City, and it cost a lot of money."

"It's a pity that the old Chen family only has one child, I remember when I was in elementary school, my daughter was a classmate with him."

The uncle and aunt at the head of the village were gossiping, and Chen Mo's car was also close to home.

Brand new four-storey villa building, with a small yard and a field in front of it, is a bit abrupt compared to some of the old small bungalows around.

At home, Shao Xuemei is busy in the kitchen, washing vegetables and stewing soup. Chen Shanhe sat in the living room, his face was red and happy.

In order to live, they had to settle in Huacheng for a long time, but this is the root after all, the ancestral shrine and the ancestral cemetery are here, and the children also have a future, so they come back to repair.

"Why haven't you come back yet? Didn't this kid talk about the entrance of the village? Chen Shanhe sat in the hall, looking out of the window from time to time.

"You've said it ten times in the past two minutes." Shao Xuemei, who was busy with dinner, said.

"I don't know if Wushuang has lost weight." Chen Shanhe didn't care, drinking a little tea while waiting.

While the two were talking, the vehicle had already stopped at the door. Chen Mo got out of the car with Wushuang in his arms, and Chen Shanhe had already dropped the teacup and walked out of the house.

"Grandpa, my mom and dad are back." When the little girl saw Chen Shanhe, she said sweetly.

"Eh, it's good to come back, come over and hug grandpa and see if you get thinner." Chen Shanhe hurriedly greeted him, took Wushuang from Chen Mo's hand, smiled very happily, and walked to the house with Wushuang in his arms: "Grandpa has arranged a room for you, there are a lot of dolls that Wushuang likes, go and see them." ”

"Thank you, grandpa, this is Aunt Min's lollipop for Wushuang, it's delicious! For grandpa. The little girl took out a lollipop from her pocket and handed it to Chen Shanhe.

"Oh, yes, yes." Chen Shanhe smiled more than in a month.

"Grandma, too."

"Eh, okay, grandma likes it very much, Wushuang is really sensible."

Shao Xuemei was happier than getting a piece of gold when she took the unparalleled candy.

Chen Mo and Xiao Yu moved the packed things down from the car, and Black Hawk, White Pearl and Mo Nu all came over to help. Xiaoyu bought a lot of things, and the trunks of the three cars were all stuffed.

"There is no shortage of things at home, why do you buy so much?"

"It's all the clothes, New Year's goods, and wine that Xiaoyu bought for you." Chen Mo held up the gift box in his hand, he usually didn't have time to buy these, he was all Xiaoyu to buy these things.

"Xiaoyu doesn't have to buy so much next time, he has it at home." Hearing that it was Xiao Yu who did it, Shao Xuemei showed a kind smile on her face: "Wait, I'm cooking, and it will be fine soon." ”

"I'll go help." Xiao Yu said.

"No, it's going to be fine soon, you don't have to bother one more. The ancestral hall was not repaired before, and you haven't come back in the past few years, but now it's the first time you're back, Shanhe, you accompany Xiaomo and Xiaoyu to the ancestral hall to offer incense. Shao Xuemei said.

"Yes, let the ancestors meet our daughter-in-law, and my good granddaughter." Chen Shanhe hugged Wushuang and got up.

The ancestral ancestral hall is next to the family, and it will be passed on to Chen Shanhe's generation, and he only has one son, Chen Mo. However, the ancestral hall has been renovated, and there should be a lot, and the decoration is also retro style. The tablets are all old with freshly painted paint.

"Our Chen family was originally prosperous. When your grandfather came home during the Anti-Japanese War, his grandmother had already passed away. Brothers and sisters flee for the distance, those who leave are gone, and they are nowhere to be found.

The grandparents left early, and my father didn't read much back then, so he didn't have much ability, and he could only support Chen Mo in those years. In the future, the family will depend on you. ”

Chen Shanhe lit incense and handed it to Chen Mo and Xiaoyu, his face full of emotion.

Chen Mo and Xiao Yu both took the incense and solemnly inserted the incense burner. Wushuang also bowed in style and inserted incense into the incense burner.

"Okay, worship the ancestors, go back to eat." Chen Shanhe hugged Wushuang and didn't give Chen Mo and Xiaoyu a chance at all.

After dinner and a shower, it was already evening.

Chen Mo changed into casual clothes and walked out of the house with Xiaoyu and Mo Nu, as well as Wushuang.

Every year during the Spring Festival, behind the temple in the village, there will be people who set up a stage to watch the play.

Chen Mo donated money to build a cultural stage here, as well as a square and some sports and fitness facilities. The aunts and aunts in the village all dance square dances here, and in the past two years, the stage has come to perform, and the village committee will organize square dance performances.

Today's countryside is not as isolated and backward as the outside world describes, and the standard of living is almost the same as that of ordinary families in the city, or even surpasses.

The people in the village, uncles and aunts, as well as children, don't care much about the news, so they haven't seen Chen Mo, and no one bothered them when the family went out for a walk. Chen Mo didn't want to make a big fuss, everyone knew it, so he asked his father to refuse the welcome ceremony in the village.

However, seeing that Xiaoyu and Mo Nu are too beautiful and have outstanding temperament, people on the road will always look at them twice and ask the people next to them whose child this is.

"Rake, what is that? I want it too. ”

Xiao Wushuang saw the marshmallow stall surrounded by children not far away, and was full of curiosity.

"That's a marshmallow, Dad bought it for you, Xiaoyu, do you want to have one too?" Chen Mo led Wushuang over and asked casually.

"I'm so old, I don't want it." Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head.

The Spring Festival is approaching, the cultural square in the village is very lively, there are stalls selling toys, selling snacks, selling rabbits, turtles, small pets, selling snacks and barbecues, rings, and watching plays.

Many people who have returned from other places will come out for a walk, and the lively atmosphere is very harmonious.
