"So far?" Daniel Zhang was a little disappointed and sighed: "Then I'll accompany you back on the Qingming Festival, grandparents left us so many things, I can't help but express it." ”

Bai Zhixuan said curiously: "Didn't you go back to your hometown every Qingming Festival?" What about my hometown? ”

Daniel Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "When the time comes, let my brother go instead of me, anyway, he also helped me sacrifice before." Anyway, my ancestral grave is there several times a year, and it is missing once in a while, which is not unfilial. And this time I brought my granddaughter-in-law back to them, and my grandfather would praise me if he had a spirit in heaven. ”

Bai Zhixuan's face turned red, and she said a little shyly: "I haven't had a wedding yet, who is your daughter-in-law, stinky and shameless." ”

Daniel Zhang was cheeky and laughed in a low voice: "Red tape is not important, Zhou Gong's gift really counts." ”

Bai Zhixuan's face was a little feverish when she heard this, and she glared at Daniel Zhang with disgust, and then pinched his thighs fiercely with her deep fingernails. Daniel Zhang shouted loudly, his expression extremely exaggerated, startling the other villagers around him who worshiped their ancestors.

After worshipping at the grave of his parents, Han Aihua took the family to kowtow, and then packed up his things and went down the mountain. Zhang Jianxiong drove the car, and Han Aihua returned to Shuinian Village after a long absence. Although she has to come once a year, this time she is particularly emotional, and she feels like she is returning home.

She leaves home early to work, and she doesn't stay at home for a few days a year. Later, he married Zhang Jianxiong and set up a home in Yunshan, and he returned to the village every year for even fewer days. Although her two younger brothers still live in the village, she doesn't get to see them many times a year.

Not far from the village is the ancestral hall of the Han family, and behind the ancestral hall is Han Aihua's home. Shuinian Village was originally composed of four surnames, and the Han family was one of them, and there were many people in the village. Han Aihua's family is relatively small, only her two younger brothers and their descendants.

The largest of the Han family is Han Aihua's uncle Han Fuchang's family, with more than a dozen people in the same house for four generations, and they are the mainstay of the Han family. Han Fuchang is ninety years old, he is still old and strong, his eyes are not deaf and his ears are not flowering, and he is busy in the ancestral hall early in the morning. He is the old patriarch of the Han family, and it is his duty to take care of the ancestral hall.

During the Chinese New Year, many people come back to worship, and some of them come back from the city and province. In addition to going up the mountain to visit the graves of their parents and elders, they will also go to the ancestral hall to pay respects. Han Fuchang waited in the ancestral hall early in the morning every day, helping to prepare, and he was very energetic.

The Accord car stopped at the entrance of the ancestral hall, and Zhang Jianxiong's family got out of the car, preparing to pay tribute to the ancestors of the Han family in the ancestral hall first, and then go to Han Aihua's eldest brother Han Aimin's house. They took out the offerings from the trunk, and Han Aihua also prepared a red envelope for his uncle Han Fuchang.

Han Aihua's parents died early, and the family was taken care of by the ancestral hall. Especially Han Fuchang took care of her very much, during her work outside, her two younger brothers were taken care of by Han Fuchang's family. So every year when he returned to his parents' house, he would give Han Fuchang a red envelope to show his filial piety.

Hearing the sound of parking at the door, Han Fuchang walked out of the gatehouse on crutches. Shuinian Village is not wealthy, and there are basically no cars coming in on weekdays. Occasionally, you can see a car in the village, either a township cadre or a county leader, and the possibility of a private car is extremely rare.

He had good eyes, and at a glance he saw Han Aihua in a red down jacket, and said with a smile: "Which county leader should I come up to inspect, it turned out to be Aihua." It seems that your family's harvest this year is good, and this is all in a car, which is very good, really good. ”

Han Aihua hurriedly greeted him and took out a red envelope from his pocket: "Uncle, I wish you a New Year, Happy New Year!" I see that you are in good spirits and your body is still very strong, what a blessing. ”

Han Fuchang was also not modest, and said with a smile: "The body is okay, you can eat half a catty of meat in one meal, and there is no problem going up and down the mountain, which is not worse than young people." ”

Zhang Jianxiong parked the car and came up to say hello, and introduced Bai Zhixuan to Han Fuchang. When Han Fuchang heard that it was Daniel Zhang's daughter-in-law, his eyes narrowed with laughter. Family member Ding Xingwang is his happiest thing, although Daniel Zhang is from time to time Han family, but he also watched grow up, and his heart is a little closer.

While chatting with the Zhang family, he pinched the red envelope in his hand, Han Fuchang was a little surprised: "Aihua, how much are you packing, why is it so thick?" Isn't it too much, take some back quickly. ”

Han Aihua shook his head and said with a smile: "Not much, not much, this is all the younger generation honoring you." If you hadn't taken care of my family back then, it would have been a question of whether the people and the army would have grown up alive. ”

Han Fuchang said politely: "This is all the old yellow calendar, why are you mentioning this?" What's more, you give money every year when you come back, and today this is too much to be suitable. ”

Zhang Jianxiong persuaded: "Uncle, you can take it with confidence." My family's harvest is good this year, you are an old patriarch, you are highly respected, and you should be honored a little more. ”

Several people pushed and pulled for a while, but Han Fuchang still couldn't resist Han Aihua, and reluctantly accepted the red envelope. Then he took the Zhang family into the ancestral hall to salute and personally presided over the whole process. Although Han Aihua is married, there is no difference between the inside and outside of the Han family, and he attaches equal importance to returning to worship his ancestors.

After saluting according to the process, the Zhang family left the ancestral hall, drove around the back of the ancestral hall, and entered a small courtyard. This courtyard was left by Han Aihua's parents, and later she and Zhang Jianxiong paid for the renovation and renovated the original adobe houses into new-style brick houses.

The small courtyard is not large, with large iron gates facing three rows of houses, a total of nine. The three rooms on the front are the living room and the room of the master's house, and the six rooms on the sides are the guest rooms and storage rooms. There is a small courtyard in front of the house, nearly ten meters long and wide, with a pressurized water well and a laundry table in the middle.

Because they called in advance, Han Aimin's family had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Zhang Jianxiong driving in, he hurriedly opened the big iron door and let the Accord car enter. Then Han Aihua got off the passenger seat, and the sister and brother were finally reunited, and it was another lively and exciting scene.

Han Aimin is a very simple rural man, tall and strong, with dark skin due to perennial farm work. His daughter-in-law is from this village, named Shen Rong, and she is a good hand inside and outside the house. They had a son who had just turned fourteen, and he was the age of mischief.

"Sister, brother-in-law, hurry up and cook inside, lunch is ready, just waiting for you." Han Aimin greeted warmly and led the Zhang family to the living room of the main house.

Daniel Zhang took out the New Year gift from the trunk of the car and handed it to Han Aimin: "Uncle, this is a New Year's gift for you, can you see if it is appropriate?" ”
