Chapter 864

Although Secretary Ma is kind-hearted, he also has to divide people at different times.

Not only Chen Bo, but even Bai Jie didn't want to make a big deal, once this matter spread, it would not be beneficial to anyone, after all, what was the purpose of Bai Jie's return, she knew better than anyone else, and she wanted to do it in a low-key manner more than anyone else.

So under the resolute opposition of Chen Bo and Bai Jie, Bai Yongnian's funeral was simple, of course, although the reasons Chen Bo said were not on the table, but they finally persuaded Secretary Ma.

So on the ancestral grave of the Bai family, in addition to Chen Bo and Bai Jie, there are also several uncles and brothers close to the Bai family, and then there is this Secretary Ma.

"Alas, it's a pity, Yongnian and I are elementary school classmates, when he was still in the province, he came back quietly every year at the end of the thirtieth night, just like that, the cadres in the city and county are also waiting in the village, waiting for him to come back, he has helped our village a lot in those years, this time, alas......" Secretary Ma looked at digging a pit in the field, and saw that Bai Yongnian was in this small box, and couldn't help but feel sad.

Bai Jie didn't understand this, but Chen Bo understood, and he also knew what Secretary Ma meant by saying these words, which was by no means as simple as nostalgia.

"Secretary Ma, how is the development of our village now? Are there any difficulties? Chen Bo asked tentatively.

"Alas, it's been a lot better in recent years, I'm engaged in tourism, but I still don't have money, so this tourism is also half-baked, mainly because the infrastructure is not good, people in the city can't live, if you can live for a day and then leave, our income here can be doubled, the villagers have no money to build some high-end homestays, take out loans, and are afraid of losing, you look at our village, a family is one acre and three points of land, can't afford to lose." When Secretary Ma said this, he handed Chen Bo a cigarette, his face full of worry about the country and the people.

Chen Bo discussed the current situation in the village with him, and found that he was not completely nonsense, and he also had considerable insights into the operation of the countryside.

"Secretary Ma, your level is okay."

"Ahem, in order to develop, I went to the township and county for training, and now many young people have also returned, in short, there is a lack of money, if there is money, it is not a problem to build this village." Secretary Ma said with great ambition.

Chen Bo didn't speak again, and the pit had already been dug at this time.

Chen Bo walked to Bai Jie's side and whispered, "Kneel down and kowtow and cry a few times." ”

Bai Jie went abroad to study when she was very young, and she has never been back since, and she doesn't know anything about the customs of her hometown.

Hearing Chen Bo say this, she glanced at Chen Bo, and slowly knelt down towards the dug pit, kowtowing, but if she really wanted to cry, she couldn't do it, but the tears were not stingy at all, and the one who cried was called a pear blossom with rain.

Chen Bo still understands some of the customs of rural funerals, seeing that Bai Jie is almost crying, he bent forward and pulled her, Bai Jie thought she could get up, but just wanted to get up, Chen Bo pressed her shoulder, and heard Chen Bo whisper to let her continue to cry.

So three times, when Bai Yongnian's urn was completely submerged in the soil, this really pulled her up.

To be honest, Bai Jie's heart is very complicated, when she studied well in the provincial capital, her father insisted that she go abroad to study, so she was sent to a foreign junior high school and high school at such a young age, and she studied abroad, and she has never seen her father since that time, so many years, the relationship between father and daughter has long faded.

A small grave drew an end to Bai Yongnian's life.

After the Bai family's brothers piled up the graves, Chen Bo stepped forward and knelt down in front of Bai Yongnian's grave and kowtowed four times, standing up and finishing.

For the distance from the field to the avenue, Chen Bo and Secretary Ma exchanged phone numbers.

"Secretary Ma, although I have been transferred to Qing'an Province, but I still know some people in our province, do you see if this is good, I will find relevant departments through my personal relationship, whether it is the bosses to invest, see if there are rich funds, give some villagers in our village with good conditions, willing to engage in homestays to strive for some financial support, I know, you are not easy, to be honest, your village committee is too broken, and you have to repair it." Chen Bo said.

This was an unexpected joy, Secretary Ma was very happy, I don't know why, he felt that Chen Bo could believe it, and felt that what he said was not kind words.

Exchanging phone numbers first, and then talking about these things, this is not just a matter of order, which shows that Chen Bo has seriously considered this matter.

When they arrived at the side of the road, Chen Bo's car was on the way.

Chen Bo looked back at the field, and in the distance, the thin old man was sitting in the middle of the field, and that would be his eternal posture.

Chen Bo smiled and nodded, heading towards the equally thin grave.

"Brothers, Secretary Ma, he is here, I can't stop coming in the future, if I don't have time to come back during the New Year's holidays, please help Bai Jie, help me add a grave to him, burn some paper, thank you." After speaking, Chen Bo took Bai Jie and bowed deeply to several people.

"Hey, hey, what is this for, it should be, it should be......" Secretary Ma and a few others hurriedly stepped forward and helped him.

Chen Bo opened the car door and let Bai Jie sit in.

Before getting into the car, Chen Bo shook hands with these people one by one, said goodbye one by one, and then got in the car and left.

From the time they entered the village to the completion of all these things, it took about four hours, because they had to find the descendants of these people buried in the ancestral grave of the Bai family, otherwise they would not be able to distinguish the rank, Bai Yongnian would be buried in front of the grave of his parents, and if he buried the wrong one, he had to dig it out and re-bury it, which was extremely inappropriate in terms of customs.

Chen Bo glanced at Bai Jie in the back seat from the rearview mirror.

Neither spoke.

When the car arrived at Nangang, Chen Bo wanted to put her at the station, where you like to go, it's over, who knows that Bai Jie wants to invite him to dinner.

"You don't have to eat, you're busy and I'm busy, I'm going to go home and have a look, and then I'm going to Beiyuan." Chen Bo refused.

"We haven't eaten for a day, aren't you hungry, just eat some, without you, I don't know if this is done in the Year of the Monkey, besides, you have done a lot of filial piety for me over the years, give me the opportunity to say thank you." Bai Jie said.

Chen Bo glanced back at her and thought, just eat, what can you do.

This was once Chen Bo's home field, and it was not difficult to find a good restaurant.

The two of them found a restaurant and sat down, and finally quieted down.

"Chen Bo, I don't plan to leave, I want to stay in China for a while, do you have any suggestions?" Bai Jie suddenly asked.

Chen Bo made up his mind that he didn't want to get involved in anything with her, shook his head, and pretended to be dumb.

"I registered a trading company in Hong Kong, and it will open in Beiyuan soon, you can help me find an office address, I am not afraid of spending money, but it must be atmospheric and bright."

Chen Bo finally spoke.

"I don't understand this, if you find a real estate agent, it won't cost a few dollars, and it will definitely be arranged for you."

"Are you so afraid to deal with me?" Bai Jie asked.
