Originally, he didn't want to go home, but after a few prunes, Chen Mingliang decided to go back to his home.

The family not only has his mother and younger brother, but also his grandparents and father who has passed away for many years.

Drive north along the provincial highway and you will arrive at Chenpo not far away.

The wilderness is as depressed as ever.

There is no snow this year, and many donkeys and sheep are gnawing on the wheat seedlings in the wheat fields.

At this time, the wheat seedlings have not yet been jointed, so they can be eaten appropriately.

There are many sheep and donkeys in Yunyang County, and sheepskins and donkey skins can be sold for money.

The next county is the famous Friends of Women, a place where only donkey skins are collected and donkey meat is not eaten.

After the bottom of the Yellow River rolls, the wild grass at the bottom of the river is the best to feed the donkeys. However, donkeys are very difficult to raise, not to mention that they grow slowly, the key is that they are not social, do not obey discipline, love to bite, lead and do not go, and fight backwards.

When he was a child, Chen Mingliang took a stick and pulled a donkey that was doing stretching exercises, which was so long and the same as an arm. As a result, the donkey was in a hurry, chased after him, kicked him, and bit him. If he hadn't been rescued by adults, he might have been kicked stupid by a donkey.

When I returned home again, there was not much change compared with the year before, there were more modern facilities, and I didn't know if the money Chen Mingliang left for the family was still there.

Simply greeted my mother first, put down the gifts I bought, and then went out to see my grandparents under the excited leadership of my younger brother.

Grandma's health is okay, but grandpa is not as good as before. His ears were almost completely deaf and he couldn't hear what others were saying, so Chen Mingliang was going to buy him a hearing aid.

He also likes to smoke, and he still smokes dry tobacco. I planted it in the field, and I didn't roast it, so I dried it directly and crushed it and smoked it. I often can't breathe, I still smoke, no one can persuade me, I can't let it go, and there may not be a few years if I go on like this.

My uncle wasn't at home, he still worked in the slaughterhouse. The business is okay, I don't kill pigs much anymore, I just live by selling epidemic prevention certificates.

Chen Mingliang and Ren Jing put down the gifts and money, and this is about to come out.

Grandma also chased after them to give them a bracelet, looking at the water head, the color and quality are very average. But it was always the old man's heart, and the old man also knew that this bracelet was not very good, and the years were not too high, and her grandfather gave it to her when she was young.

She took out a few Yuan Datou again, you use this to make a bracelet yourself, I don't know what style you like, you watch and play by yourself. I wanted to give it to you when I came last time, after all, it was the first time I came to the door, and I didn't know if it would be successful, so I didn't take it out.

The old lady still has something, but they are all nameless silver hats and flowers, and then there are some standing eagles and Yang Yuan big heads and Sun Xiaotou, which are really not worth much. The most valuable should be the two small yellow croakers of the Republic of China, one or two heavy ones, which are not badly preserved, she has to take one to Chen Mingming, saying that the other is left for his uncle.

Chen Mingliang resolutely didn't want to, left some money and left, before leaving, the old lady still brought a bowl of "knowing the monkey" over, pickled in the pickle jar, pickled for most of the year blackened, and it was not easy to refuse, so she accepted it.

came out of my grandparents' house, took two Beijing roast ducks from the car, and went to the house of my fifth uncle.

Chen Mingliang called the fifth uncle before he came, saying that he wanted to donate a primary school to the village.

"Mingming, you are really out of luck, the daughter-in-law who is looking for her is also like a fairy, and our Chen family is also an ancestor with light. After the longevity is gone, I still thought that your branch would fall, but I didn't expect it to grow again so soon. ”

Ren Jing listened to the fifth uncle say that she was Chen Mingming's daughter-in-law, and she also acquiesced, she almost appeared directly as a bright daughter-in-law, after all, it was not the first time to come to the door, in the countryside, if you come to the door with someone for the New Year, that is the daughter-in-law.

"Uncle, although I am not very successful now, I have a little money, and I really want to do something practical for the village. It's not even easy to go to a primary school in our village, it's not even good to go to the third grade, and from the fourth grade onwards, I have to go to the central primary school to study, it's too far, it's too inconvenient, I'm thinking about donating a primary school to our village. ”

"Okay, good, it's good to donate books to help students, and when you can, you can give back to your hometown, that's a hundred generations!."

"This elementary school is really supposed to be repaired, and when it rains, it leaks. I have wanted to organize the villagers to donate money to rebuild, but in total, the gap is still not small, and the villagers are not rich, so every time it is simply repaired, and it is really difficult to renovate. The fifth uncle was also emotional.

"Then I'll take 300,000 first, and then ask me if it's not enough." Chen Mingliang is also not stingy in supporting the construction of his hometown.

"Enough! That's enough! Not so much. We don't need money for the land here, and the labor cost can not be too much, just some material money, that is, to build to the sixth grade, it is enough to have a hundred thousand, you are really developed. ”

"That's a lot of money to subsidize the teachers, there are good teachers with money, and it's not easy for teachers." 300,000 is really nothing here in Chen Mingming.

"Okay, listen to you. It's all your money anyway. ”

"Little Er, go ring the bell! , convene a meeting of the old and young masters, and open an ancestral hall to worship the ancestors! "The fifth uncle has been prepared for a long time, and it is also a big deal to build a primary school in the village.

Under the organization of the fifth uncle, the donation ceremony was very grand.

The whole 300,000 yuan in cash was wrapped in red paper, and every 100,000 yuan was put in a bundle, like three large bricks, and placed on the offering table.

Under the leadership of his uncle and grandfather, the characters with heads and faces paid tribute to their ancestors.

A set of twenty-four worship ceremonies is over, not to mention, it's really tiring, and I don't know how so many old people in the village persevered.

"Folks, we are all descendants of the Chen family. broke the bones and tendons, today, Chen Mingliang is out! He knows that in return to the villagers, do not forget his clan, and we people must also be sensible, and do not forget to dig wells.

Now, there is no shortage of money, we must concentrate our efforts to build and maintain our primary schools well, and benefit our children and grandchildren! The audience applauded.

"Mingming, your father's longevity has been gone for so many years, and I know that he has been sleeping on the floor of your house.

Our Chen family has rules, but half a hundred are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave. Today, the elders in the family are all here, I have a proposal, or let longevity return in order, right? What do you think, and does anyone disagree? ”

Who can disagree on this point. People take out real money, naturally no one objects, and the folk customs are maintained by everyone, but there are appropriate reasons, and it is also possible to make an exception.

"Thank you, uncle, thank you, I know that it's time to rest, thank you! Thank you!. ”

"Then it's passed! It is not advisable to break ground today, tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac, and tomorrow will move the grave for longevity!. ”

Although the time is already very tight, there are special people in charge of Murakami's red and white ceremonies, and it is easy to contact.

There are people in a village not far away who specialize in selling coffins, which can be spliced together in a few clicks.

As long as you have money, you don't have to worry about anything.

Chen Mingliang took out 30,000 yuan and handed it over to the village's long-term support for red and white ceremonies.

Sure enough, it's professional people who do professional things.

Killing pigs and sheep, buying vegetables and grain, cooking in pots, stir-frying vegetables and cooking soup.

Before it got dark, the suona sounded. All kinds of songs are pushed up one by one, what "Big Sedan Chair", "Chic Walk Once", "Nine Sisters", "Xiaofang" ......, anyway, the tune doesn't match the white thing.

Sure enough, I really heard Chen Mingming's repertoire "Hundred Birds and Phoenix".

Chen Changshou has passed away for too long, except for his grandparents, no one else feels too heavy.

Even Chen Mingliang is, I can only say that I have some regrets in my heart, I really want to be sad, I really can't talk about it.

However, a good meal and good drink are still good, better than what other people eat when they get married.
