On the second day of the New Year, Xu Yue didn't expect that the first person to knock on his door would be Ma Chao.

"Happy New Year, Chief!"

Ma Yu's sisters and brothers were dressed in red, and they were so festive that they gave Xu Yue a New Year's greeting.

Xu Yue quickly reacted and replied "Happy New Year".

He hurriedly invited Ma Chao's family to enter the door, and entered the house to give Ma Yu's sisters and brothers a copy of the remaining money.

Wang Pingping strode into the hall, holding a candy tray in her hand, and gave her sister and brother a handful of cubes of toffee.

Pure natural milk candy, the quantity is not much, there is nothing to sell outside, if it weren't for the twins' gluttony, Xu Erniang wouldn't be too lazy to do it.

However, there is a disadvantage of being natural, which is that the shelf life is extremely short.

The sun came out a few days ago, the snow began to melt, and the temperature was rising, and these cubes of toffee were going to spoil if they were not eaten again.

"Is it delicious?" Xu Da also walked in, happy to tease the child.

The Ma family sisters and brothers have never seen Wang Pingping and Xu Da, and under the reminder of their father, they gave gifts to their uncles and aunts.

Then he replied, "It's delicious." ”

"Eat more if it's delicious." Xu Da naturally handed the whole plate in Wang Pingping's hand to the two sisters and brothers.

Later, he said to Daniel, who had just gotten up to wash in the courtyard, "Take my younger brothers and sisters to see your wooden knives and swords, and play together." ”

For Xu Da Daniel, he was afraid from the bottom of his heart, although he knew that Xu Da would not eat himself, he still maintained a high degree of vigilance.

Hearing Xu Da's voice, he wanted to talk about things with idle people, quickly rinsed his mouth, and beckoned the Shangma family sisters and brothers to go to his house.

took out a bunch of treasures that he bought with his own money from the wooden box on the kang, fell on the kang with a bang, and waved his hand:

"You guys play as you like!"

Ma Yu's sister and brother are eating toffee with their left hands and playing with various novelty toys with their right hands, bubbling with happiness.

took the child away, and only Wang Pingping and his wife, Xu Yue, Xu Dalang, and Ma Chao and his wife were left in the hall.

Mrs. Ma is also a hearty woman, and the couple will not say anything about beating around the bush, and directly said that the two of them came over to ask about the recovery of the Hexi Corridor.

Wang Pingping and Xu Da glanced at each other and received a hint from the Ma family couple.

What does this mean when you want to join the Xu family army completely?

Xu Yue and Xu Dalang also secretly exchanged glances, and they both saw from each other's eyes that Liangzhou was inevitable.

Mingren didn't say secret words, Xu Yue asked: "When the annual leave is over, after the fourth year of junior high school, we will discuss the ownership of Liangzhou in detail at the meeting?" ”

The Ma family and his wife looked at each other and smiled, and nodded emphatically, "Everything is arranged by the leader!" ”

The meaning is already obvious, they have decided to join the Xu family army and become a part of it.

Xu Yue and her family all showed welcoming smiles, and warmly invited Ma Chao's family to stay for dinner.

The couple refused, saying that there were other families to congratulate, and after only sitting for a while, they called the Ma Yu sisters and brothers to leave.

With Liangzhou's sincere joining, the Xu Jiajun fully controlled the northern forces and reached a higher level of strength.

A big stone fell in her heart, and Xu Yue felt that today's home was like the New Year.

......

The third day of the new year, the last day of annual leave.

Early in the morning, leaving Xu Dongbei and Xu Pingyuan's siblings and Daniel at home, the adults in the family changed into simple energy clothes, took some tools, and went out.

A family of five walked to the north gate of Hejian County, and saw Wang Dayou's family, who had been waiting outside the city under the crooked neck tree.

"Young lady!" Jun Mei raised her hand and waved at the Xu family, "This way!" ”

"Here we go!" Xu Yue responded and led the family members to converge.

"You've got so many things with you?" Wang Dayou looked at the hoes, sickles, white cloth paper money and other things on the Xu family's side, and was surprised and moved.

Xu Dalang was also carrying a large wooden box on his shoulder, covered with a linen cloth, and it was heavy at first glance.

Presumably, it is the best wood used.

Ah Jian and Jun Mei looked down at the bamboo basket and white cloth they had placed at their feet, and suddenly felt that their preparations were too simple.

However, what they originally wanted was to pick up A-Niang's bones first, and then bury them thickly, so thinking about it, the preparation was actually normal.

The Xu family has a deep affection and has prepared so much, which is really touching.

"Let's go, let's go, we didn't have a good time in the past, we couldn't prepare anything for my sister-in-law, and now that we have this strength, we should naturally make up for the piece we owe in the past."

Xu Da was really afraid that he would see Wang Da have a big man crying, so he waved his hand impatiently, signaling the father and son to lead the way quickly.

They haven't been here for a few years, but they are afraid that the grass on Tong's grave is three feet high, and they have work to do, so they will go early and return early.

"Oops!" Wang Dayou nodded again and again, and when he lowered his head to get the back basket, he secretly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Getting up again, he strode forward.

When the Tong family was buried, the Taishou in the city was assassinated, and in the chaos, they failed to bury her well.

However, Xu Da still tried his best to choose a feng shui treasure for the Tong family under limited conditions.

The group walked a little on the avenue, then took the south fork and walked up the hill.

After climbing three gentle slopes, the group stopped at the confluence of three mountain ranges.

The two stood silently against the wind for two minutes, and then looked at Xu Da together.

Junmei's mouth twitched uncontrollably, with tears of guilt in her eyes, and she endured crying weakly and said:

"A-Niang's tomb can't be found......"

As soon as these words came out, he was inexplicably embarrassed and a little sad.

In fact, it's no wonder that Jun Mei can't remember, she was only six years old at that time, and the hillside here looks almost identical, no one has come to sweep the grave for many years, and the road has just been opened by them with a sickle.

In addition, the mountain floods, rain and snow will also make certain changes in the landform, and under the conditions at that time, the thin tomb would have sunk early.

In this case, it would be strange to remember where the tomb is!

Fortunately, there is also Xu Da.

"Don't panic." Xu Da coughed lightly twice and gave everyone a reassuring look.

Then he dusted off his sleeves and took out a compass from his arms, "Fortunately, I was prepared." ”

He found this feng shui treasure cave back then, and now he can naturally find it again!

For the first time, Wang Pingping felt that Xu Da, the second ancestor, had a little tall and majestic appearance.

"It's okay, with your Uncle Xu, he must remember." Wang Pingping patted Junmei's shoulder and said firmly.

Xu Da glanced at Wang Pingping in shock, this was the first time he had heard her affirm him so much!

The middle-aged man's heart was beating wildly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise wildly.

Xu Yue caught a glimpse of it, and hurriedly pinched Daddy, do you think now is the time to laugh?

Xu Da secretly hissed, shook off his daughter's hand, straightened his expression, and picked up the compass to walk around this flat slope.

After about six or seven minutes, Xu Da stood on the ground of an obvious pit somewhere in front of the slope, and said in a deep voice:

"That's it, Dayou, Dalang, Ah Jian, you bring the sickle and hoe here, and dig here."

As he spoke, he gave the two of them a rough range.
