The Liu family is the third largest foreign surname clan in Gangnan Village, which is not important.

Uncle Liu Qi is almost the most prestigious elder in the village, and this is not important.

Uncle Liu Qi said that the reason why Zhao Gongbo of Gangdong Village dared to be so arrogant must be because he had the evidence that his third uncle bought the old township chief, and if he didn't let go of the ferry, the third uncle's reputation would eventually be ruined in his hands Chen Cangwei, which was still not important.

For him, Chen Cangwei, there was only one thing that was important: Township Chief Tian called him and hinted that if he did not make concessions, the township would adopt a wait-and-see attitude towards the re-election of the village head of Gangnan Village.

In other words, the two boxes of tea and two cigarettes he gave to Gu Changhong were given away for nothing.

It's not a big deal to spend some unjust money, anyway, if you go to the village's account, he will not lose a little personally. But the key is that the threat given to him by the bully is too great, and it has only been a few days, and the prestige of the little in the village is like a rocket, and he is rushing straight to the heights.

Let's not talk about how popular the first 10,000 households entered the factory, but only said that the day before, this little only brought more than 10 people and dared to break into Gangdong Village, not only retreating unharmed, but also stabbing the black-faced man. The villagers have already regarded this little as the protector of Gangnan Village, and if it continues to develop like this, he Chen Cangwei may only have to carry bags and shoes for the little.

After sending off the seventh uncle of the Liu family, Chen Cangwei went out in clothes, climbed the ladder to the roof, lit a cigarette, looked up at the starry sky, and gradually clarified his thoughts.

The weight of the two benefits is the heavier, and the lesser of the two evils. Compared with the throne of the village chief, the right to operate the ferry port is not very important at all, and if it is returned, it will be returned, as long as the head of Tian Township can keep his promise, allow and urge Gu Changhong to catch that little as soon as possible, then, the sky in Gangnan Village is still blue, and the sunshine in Gangnan Village is still bright.

Thinking about these clearly, Chen Cangwei suddenly felt the depression in his chest swept away, and then looked at the night sky, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, Chen Cangwei couldn't help but show a sneer, how could the light of stardust compete with the bright moon?

……

The second uncle is quite reliable.

Grandma's grave is quite magnificent. The mound is two meters wide and three meters long, completely covered with concrete, and surrounded by pines and cypresses. The altar was laid with granite in front of the tomb, and there was a two-meter-high bluestone tombstone behind the altar, and the tombstone was printed with a photo of Grandma before she was sick, and the photo was engraved with 'Grandma Liu Zhiqiu's Tomb', and the lower left of the gilded characters was engraved with a vertical row of small characters, son, Yang Rui kowtowed.

Ten meters away, Yang Rui saw the photo of his grandmother on the tombstone, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and two lines of tears couldn't stop flowing.

In his previous life, he worked hard until he was almost 40 years old, so he had enough financial resources to buy a cemetery in the Special Administrative Region, secretly returned to the village, and moved his grandmother's grave there. But there is no photo of my grandmother, so I can only rely on my memory to find someone else to reluctantly copy a portrait.

And today, when I saw my grandma's true face, I instantly opened the valve of longing in my heart. Yang Rui couldn't hold back any longer, staggered forward, threw himself in front of the tombstone, stretched out his hands, trembled, and carefully stroked the cheeks of the grandma in the photo.

"Grandma, my son is back...... Grandma, you don't have to worry about your son going hungry anymore...... Grandma, my son regrets it so much, he was so naughty when he was a child, and he made you so angry...... Grandma, are you okay over there? Do you miss a son...... My son misses you so much......"

The second uncle stepped forward slowly, squatted down, patted Yang Rui's back, and comforted: "Mourn, Ruizai, you can have today, it's too late for your aunt to be happy, I don't want to see you sad like this." ”

On the other side, the uncle commanded his two ladies to quickly spread the stringed paper money in front of Ah Mei's grave.

Yang Rui wiped away his tears, choked and waved his hand: "Wrong, wrong!" You should worship your grandfather and grandmother first. ”

The second uncle nodded with satisfaction.

The Liu clan migrated from northern Hunan to Chenjiaji fifty years ago to escape the war. Mrs. Liu's seven sons under his knees, the eldest family died under the fire of the little devils, the fourth family was separated on the way to escape, and there has been no news so far, the sixth child was unfortunately infected with smallpox in the year when the Liu family settled in Chenjiaji, and died a few days after being expelled from Chenjiaji by the Chen family.

There are only four brothers who really took root in Chen Jiaji, the second, third, fifth, and seventh brothers.

Among the four brothers, the second and fifth are the descendants of the main house, and the third, that is, Yang Rui's grandfather, is from a partial house, and the only remaining seventh uncle in that generation is the illegitimate son left by Mrs. Liu outside, which is the so-called wild seed.

The second and fifth children of the main house line originally looked down on the third child who was born in the partial house, and even more looked down on the seventh child whose bloodline still needs to be verified, therefore, after the old lady Liu made an ancient time, the Liu family was basically divided into two pieces, and there were still some contacts between the third and the seventh, but between the second and the fifth, it almost became a stranger.

This is also the fundamental reason why the seventh uncle refused to stay in the village after liberation, and had to go out to travel the rivers and lakes.

When the older generation was still alive, although they didn't talk to each other on weekdays, when it came time to worship their ancestors, the entire clan could still get together. But when the older generation is all ancient, the descendants of the second and fifth are even more incompatible with the third brother and sister Liu Zhichun, Liu Zhixia, and Liu Zhiqiu. I don't know what the situation is on the eldest uncle's side, but the second uncle's side just set up a tablet for Mrs. Liu at home to talk about his grandson's filial piety. As for going to the old lady's grave and sweeping the grave, it will be done by the uncles and brothers on the second and fifth uncle's side.

Therefore, the second uncle Liu Zhixia took the opportunity of Rui Zai to repair the tomb of his grandfather and grandmother, and the sacrifice was only his own father and aunt, not including Mrs. Liu and the second uncle and the fifth uncle.

According to the rules, as Yang Rui said, he should burn paper for the elders first, and the uncle had to motioned to his two sisters to get up for the time being.

Fortunately, the newly repaired grave of the two old men was nearby.

is still in accordance with the rules, the first to kowtow should be the eldest son Liu Zhichun, the second son Liu Zhixia and the two daughters-in-law, followed by the piglets, their uncles and brothers, and their daughters-in-law, followed by the four granddaughters and sons-in-law, and Yang Rui, as the grandson, can only be ranked last.

But when Liu Zhichun and his wife were about to step forward and kneel, they were stopped by Liu Zhixia.

Liu Zhixia ignored the strange gaze of her sister-in-law, stood in front of the grave, and said loudly:

"Abba, Grandma, your most beloved grandson Rui Zai has come to see you, Rui Zai is really angry, he is the one who built the tomb for your two elders and re-erected the monument, so this time we just accompanied Rui Zai to pay tribute to your two elders......" Turning around, Liu Zhixia beckoned to Yang Rui: "Rui Zai come over and kowtow to grandpa and grandma." ”

Yang Rui was not polite, stepped forward directly, and when he passed by his uncle, he threw down a meaningful look.

Grandson is also a grandson, Yang Rui, who has never seen Abba since he was a child, has never regarded his grandparents as grandparents, and grandparents have never regarded him as grandchildren.

After Yang Rui worshipped, according to the rules, a large family of more than a dozen people took turns to kowtow.

After kowtowing, he was about to burn the paper, and when Liu Zhichun struck the match, Yang Rui suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Seventh uncle, why are you here?" "In front of a large family, Yang Rui gave enough face to the seventh uncle, and he didn't call him an old man.

The seventh uncle was displeased, and choked back: "I'll come to see my third brother and third sister-in-law, can't you?" ”

Liu Zhixia hurriedly greeted him and made a gesture of support to the seventh uncle.

The seventh uncle was bored of getting rid of it, and choked: "Don't come to this set, your Liu Eryi's body is not as good as my old man." ”

Liu Zhixia said with a smile: "That's, that's, who can compare with Uncle Seven!" ”

The seventh uncle who slapped a sycophant shot was smiling, poked Yang Rui's head in the air, and reprimanded: "Little rabbit cub, you also study hard with your second uncle, can't you learn to say two nice words to coax your seventh uncle to open his heart?" ”

Yang Rui rolled his eyes, and responded with a strange yin and yang spirit: "Yes, why can't you, the little rabbit cub wishes the old man a long life of 100 years, oh, no, a long life of a thousand years......"

The seventh uncle laughed loudly.

"The thousand-year-old king, the eighty-thousand-year-old turtle, the little rabbit cub, you are scolding me, an old immortal, in disguise."

After paying tribute to grandpa and grandma, the whole family returned to the grave of Yang Rui's grandmother.

The seventh uncle circled around the tombstone, and when he returned to the tombstone, his eyes were a little red.

"Qiu Nan's niece, you always complained about Uncle Seven, saying that Uncle Seven didn't teach Rui Zai well, and Uncle Seven didn't pay attention to you, but unfortunately you left too early, I didn't see how heroic Rui Zai is now, Uncle Seventh has been telling you, Rui Zai's seedling is seen by Uncle Seven, it is impossible to grow crooked, how about it, my niece of Qiu Nan, Uncle Seven didn't look away, your Rui Zai, now it has grown into a towering tree, and you have the ability to shelter the villagers......"

Yang Rui silently handed over a cigarette and personally lit a fire for the seventh uncle.

Without the seventh uncle, there would be no Yang Rui today, in this world, except for the grandmother, the seventh uncle is the one who loves him the most, and even the second uncle can only be ranked after the seventh uncle.

Thinking of the previous life, Yang Rui couldn't help but blur his vision again.

In the previous life, he was sent to the labor camp, the seventh uncle held a long rod, beat Chen Cangwei, and then left his hometown again, but he never untied the knot, and finally became ill and died in a foreign country, and Yang Rui, who was in the labor camp, did not even see the last face of the seventh uncle.

The uninvited arrival of the seventh uncle completely disrupted Liu Zhichun's plan, he dared to cross his waist and collide with the second uncle and the fifth uncle, but only this seventh uncle, every time he saw it, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.

A lot of paper money was burned, and he didn't dare to complain to his nephew about it, so he went down the hill and parted ways, so angry that his wife twisted his ears and took him home with a stinking scolding.
