Li Mu's return home is a big deal.

As the eldest son, of course, in the patriarchal locality, Sister Li Mu is not a member of the old Li family if she marries. Therefore, it is a big deal for the firstborn to come home. Li Mu's younger brother wanted to come back to meet his brother, but faced his final exams, so he had to stay in the school more than a thousand kilometers away, and he could only go home to attend his brother's wedding.

The top priority - ancestor worship.

It is divided into two parts, first, the ancestors and the ancestors, killing chickens and ducks to worship at the ancestral hall, and second, worshipping the old man.

Very important.

Although Li Mu and Feng Yuye are both materialists and party members, they resolutely do not engage in feudal superstition, and of course they cannot talk about feudal superstition, each place has its own customs. If you don't go to the ancestral hall to worship, the people in the village, especially the elders, will not recognize Feng Yuye as the daughter-in-law of the Li family.

To this day, the place still maintains a ridiculous custom - no matter whether you are married or not, as long as the feast is not set, people will not admit that you are married. On the contrary, if the banquet is set up but the marriage is not registered, then in everyone's eyes, you two are husband and wife.

Behind it was the Chinese People's Liberation Army, with more than two million associates, uh, comrades-in-arms, and the great army backing it, and Li Mu's status suddenly surpassed that of the big boss in the village.

In the concept of rural people, no matter how much money there is, it is also the state, and the one who eats the imperial grain is the first bull. In particular, the experience of people who used to be landlords in the family is particularly profound, communism.

And military cadres are more formidable than local cadres.

That kind of awe stems from the countless soldiers who sacrificed their lives in defending their homes and the country in the past few decades, and it is they who have laid the deep foundation and prestige of today's army among the masses of the people with their lives.

Li Mu knew this very well, and he knew that he was lying on the merits of his predecessors, although he himself had almost sacrificed his life for the country many times.

Therefore, he did not have the slightest complacency, even if the relevant departments of the county held a meeting in the village, fiercely commended Li Mu and Li Mu's parents, and also made a deep and affectionate review of the late old man of Li Mu's family, thanking them for cultivating such a good son, the great outstanding young cadres of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

The local government needs a model, and although Li Mu doesn't like this form very much, he has to cooperate. After all, the advantage is that not only his family, but even the people of a village will be valued by the relevant departments. What are some good policies in the future, it is estimated that they will also be tilted.

The most direct benefit is that the leader made it clear on the spot that the road to the village will be hard-bottomed within the year. This has received an enthusiastic response from the villagers.

From the day he returned home, he was busy with things like this for several days, and on the fifth day, the county invited Li Mu to participate in the symposium and make a report on his deeds, but this time, Li Mu refused, and resolutely refused.

He had to take his daughter-in-law to see the old man.

The county also knew about this matter, and it had to follow suit, and this time Li Mu unceremoniously refused. He just wanted to accompany his parents and his wife to see the old man.

It was the brothers' turn, and they held back for days.

Liu Huaqiang, Xiaodong, Rui, Xiaohui, all four of the inner circle arrived, drove Xiaohui's Cayenne and Land Cruiser, and an alpha from Xiaohui's father's company, just waiting downstairs. Everything is ready, the brothers are all experienced people, and the sacrifices are all ready.

Li Mu's family went downstairs, and the brothers hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, say hello to their uncles and aunts, say hello to their sisters-in-law, and then were busy helping to load things into the car.

Li Mu didn't talk much along the way, and Comrade Li Honghua, Li Mu's father, was slowly telling Feng Yuye about the history of the old man Li Hongjun.

There are very few veterans from the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression who are still alive in the country, and Comrade Li Hongjun has also spent the 70 th anniversary of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. How many of the brothers who fought the little Japanese devils with him did not survive to the reform and opening up.

"The old man is too good, honest, and doesn't understand the rules. Several of his comrades-in-arms have retired as vice-provincial cadres, and he is still happy when he retires. That's the kind of person you are. Li Honghua said that his eyes were red.

Li Mu knows the old man better than his father, that is the real communist, and there are only a few who have fallen after all.

It is precisely because there are many Communist Party members like the old man of the Li family that our party has become a party loved by the people and has a solid foundation for governance.

When I arrived at the old man's cemetery, I don't know when the villagers cleared a large piece of land, which was very tidy, and the surrounding trees were also cut down, and there were mud and stones on the far side. Li Mu knew that the local government was going to solemnly repair the old man's tomb. Looking at this scale, I'm afraid it's very large.

Li Mu will not refuse, in terms of the old man's achievements, it is not too much to treat him after a hundred years.

"Grandpa, I see that you are here, and Yuye, your granddaughter-in-law, she has a bad child, your great-grandson, our Li family is the fourth generation since you. ”

Li Mu pulled Feng Yuye to kneel in front of the tomb and kowtow, and whispered.

"Grandpa, I'm Yuye, I'll give you a toast. Feng Yuye spilled Moutai with a cup in both hands.

The family worshiped the old man, and Liu Huaqiang and a few others waited far away. Seeing Li Mu beckoning, they came over, and the brothers toasted and kowtowed to the old man together.

The simple and solemn worship lasted for two hours, and in Li Mu's view, the old man lived in his heart, and the teachings of the past often echoed in his ears. To put it mildly, when a person dies, he doesn't care whether the tomb is big or small, luxurious or shabby, because he doesn't know. No matter how much the living does, they just ask for peace of mind.

For Li Mu, the only thing he can do is to inherit the old man's thoughts, dedicate himself to the cause of national defense, and play a greater role in the prosperity of the country and the strength of the family.

Isn't it a way to realize self-worth.

Just like the old man, many people say that he is stupid, does not know how to flatter his superiors, and does not know how to follow the door, so that when he is old, he does not have any title except for an excellent Communist Party member. However, perhaps the old man thinks that this is his way of living, and the evaluation of outstanding Communist Party members is higher than that of higher positions.

Which is more difficult to achieve in a better position, or to get a completely consistent and heartfelt evaluation of "good people" from the world?

When leaving the cemetery, Feng Yuye said to Li Mu, "The old man is a complete follower and practitioner of Mao-Zedong's thought. ”

Li Mu secretly said in his heart, yes, there is nothing wrong at all.

He thought to himself that he could comfort the old man.

Note: Thank you for the reward of Leng Hongge!
