On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Nianguan put on the jacket that Liu Shi specially made for her. Seeing that Liu Shi and Xuan Xuan were also wearing new clothes, the family of three was in good spirits.

After eating the court food, Mrs. Liu will take the two sisters to worship in front of Chen Ming's grave.

Before going out, Chen Nianguan grabbed the key to the yard and went to the west wing to find Zhang Erlang.

According to the custom, Zhang Erlang will also go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors on this day. don’t know how long he will be there. Chen Nianguan’s family will worship their father today, and they will go to Liujia Village to pay New Year’s greetings tomorrow. don’t know when they will return, soHe left a pair of house keys for him.

Zhang Erlang accepted the key and watched Liu's family of three driving the donkey cart out with obvious disappointment on his face.

Are you going back to Haijiao Village?Zhang Erlang was at a loss when he thought of his lost clansman and parents.

Hasn't it been almost half a year since I realized that I can't recall what happened before?Things that I thought I would remember slowly, but I still can't remember, not even the appearance of my parents first.

But can't remember, the ancestors and parents still have to worship.

So not long after Chen Nianguan's mother and daughter left, Zhang Erlang also went out and rented a carriage, and returned to Haijiao Village with the offerings and incense.

Haijiao Village is an hour's journey to the state capital. It was originally a small village by the sea. Most of the villagers are salt workers hired by the county government, and they work in the nearby salt fields.

But that tsunami not only destroyed the entire Haijiao Village, but also destroyed the saltworks built by the imperial court.

After the incident, both the salt field and Haijiao Village were blocked by the government. Even Zhang Erlang was unable to enter the village to see his parents.The people in the government are buried together.

Zhang Erlang could no longer recognize the bones of his parents, so he had to be buried with the whole village.

Therefore, the former villagers of Haijiao Village were all buried in a tomb, and only an obelisk was erected in front of the tomb to roughly calculate the number of victims and engrave their names on it.

When Zhang Erlang brought the sacrifices to the front of the obelisk, he saw a tribute in front of the tombstone and burned two sticks of incense. It should be the surviving relatives of other families in Haijiao Village.

He silently arranged the sacrifices, burned the incense and inserted them, then burned the paper money he brought, and sat in front of the grave for a while.

He faintly felt that this seemed wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Feeling melancholy for a long time, Zhang Erlang got up slowly and planned to go back to Funing County. Miss Chen is going back to Liujia Village tomorrow. If he rushes back, he can be a driver for their mother and daughter.

Thinking like this, the depression on Zhang Erlang's face dissipated, and he pursed his lips and smiled slightly.

Chen Nianguan, Liu Shi and Xuan Xuan have also found Chen Ming's tomb on Xiaowai Mountain.

The original body's memory of Chen Ming has faded, it should be that life was too difficult after Chen Ming's death.

In the situation where survival is difficult to guarantee, naturally there is no time to think about the dead. During the most difficult time, the original body even had a trace of resentment in the memory, complaining that Chen Ming went to save other people's children, and did not think of himself.The aftermath of a daughter losing her father.

Of course, this only accounted for a very small part of Yuanshen's affection for his father, besides, the reverence and admiration were deeper.

Although Chen Nianwan had never met Chen Ming, he knew everything about Chen Ming from the memory of his original body. The emotions in front of this strange father's grave were obviously not as crying and mourning as Liu's, it was Xuan Xuan,He just silently grasped Liu's hand, his eyes were red, and he was obviously sad, but it was because of seeing Liu's, not because of his father who was lying in the grave.

After all, Xuan Xuan was less than three years old when Chen Ming passed away, and the child's memory was vague, and she couldn't remember her father at all.

After the worship, when the family went down the mountain to return to the city, they happened to see the Chen family who came to worship on the mountain.

Father Chen, Chen Xiang, Chen Feng and all the children of the two families are there.

According to the rules, on the first day of the new year, only males are eligible to worship at the graves of ancestors.

But Chen Ming and the Liu family have no sons, so the Liu family brought Chen Nianguan sisters to burn incense and paper money to Chen Ming, so as to save her husband from being bullied in the underworld.

Seeing Mrs. Liu and the others, Mrs. Chen and his party immediately turned gloomy, but considering that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, they did not take advantage of the three-bedroom family twice. Instead, the Chen family lost two layers of skin.Chen Feng was imprisoned, and it was the Liu family who came forward to make peace in person and escaped from prison.

After this incident, the authority of the Chen family in Qingzhi Lane was completely destroyed. Qingzhi Lane was going to re-elect the head of the village. Chen Xiang's position as the head of the village was afraid that he would not be able to continue. The Chen family felt regretful and resentful, In the end, was very jealous of them, didn't have an attack, and passed by silently.

Chen Nianguan saw Chen Nianjian, who was behind him, turned his head to look at them several times, and seemed to want to say something, but finally turned his head guiltily.

The mother????? The three daughters didn't take this matter to heart. Now they are considered to be independent, and they have a letter of righteousness written by Father Chen in their hands, so they have severed ties with the Chen family.

Besides, they are registered in the county government now, and they have to weigh it if they want to make a stumbling block, and there is also the matter of Chen Nianjian taking the imperial examination.

I heard that Chen Nianjian planned to take the imperial examination this year. After all, Father Chen still wanted to see if there could be another scholar in the family, and he would not let his sons easily cause trouble.

A group of people passed by Chen Ming's tomb, seeing the neatly cleaned tombstone, offering not only fruit cakes, but also the jerky with sauce that was recently sold at a sky-high price, their eyes were full of jealousy.

It took a long time for Chen Feng to pooh bitterly: "Let them be arrogant! The third brother has no descendants, no matter how much they earn, they will still belong to our Chen family."

Chen Nianjian heard it from behind, and his face darkened.

Dad has been in prison once, can't he change his temper?

Because of severing ties with the Chen family, the Liu family did not plan to return to the Chen family to pay New Year's greetings, but just asked someone to send a generous New Year's gift back.

After they returned to Yanlai Lane, they closed the door to live their own lives. When they were eating and drinking, they heard the door open, and it was Zhang Erlang who came back.

I heard that Zhang Erlang went back to Haijiao Village and chose to go back to Yanlai Lane after having nowhere to go, and Chen Nianguan's family was no exception.

After all, if the entire clan doesn't even have a village, where can they go?

Hearing that Zhang Erlang volunteered to be their coachman, the mother and daughter were not polite.

As soon as they went to Liujia Village, there was no one else at home. It would be a pity to leave him here alone during the New Year's Eve. It happened that the mother and daughter had to walk the mountain road to Liujia Village, and it was safer to have a gentleman around.

So the next day, with a lot of new year's goods brought back to her natal family, Liu Shi and Xuan Xuan sat in the donkey cart, Chen Nianguan sat outside the cart to see the scenery, and Zhang Erlang rode on the donkey with a whip whip and set off for Liujia Village.

After two hours of trekking, they arrived at Liujia Village smoothly.

Still at the entrance of the village, heard the sound of firecrackers everywhere in the village. Under the big tree at the entrance of the village gathered some energetic old people and children in new clothes, including Liu Shui and Liu Ye.

Seeing Chen Nianguan, Liu Shui was overjoyed, and rushed to the donkey cart: "Cousin, cousin, you are coming to my house to celebrate the New Year!"

"Yes!" Chen Nian smiled.

Liu Ye from behind also rushed up: "Cousin, cousin, did you bring something delicious to my house?"

Chen Nianguan laughed out loud, and Liu Shi and Xuan Xuan who were sitting in the carriage also poked their heads out.

"Ah, aunt, cousin!" Liu Shui and Liu Ye said in unison, and without waiting for Liu Shi to speak, Liu Shui said: "I'll go tell my father and mother, my aunt's family is here to pay New Year's greetings!"He ran away in a hurry.

Chen Nianguan hugged Liu Ye up, and sat with her on the front shaft log. Through the window, Liu Ye and Xuan Xuan chatted, talking about what delicious food they ate during the Chinese New Year, and how much lucky money they received.

Zhang Erlang, who was driving the donkey, looked back at them and smiled, "Which family is Uncle Liu's?" It was his first time visiting Liujia Village, so he didn't know the way!

Didn't it mean that Uncle Liu's family has now become the richest man in the village and has expanded the new house?

Chen Nianguan was looking for someone to ask, but Liu Ye heard it, turned around and pointed out his little finger, and said proudly: "Over there, the biggest and most beautiful house in the village belongs to our family."

Since all the sons and daughters of the Liu family have sold rice noodles and sauced meat to Chen Nianguan, everyone in each house has made a lot of money.60% of the money has to be handed over to the public school. Naturally, know how much the Liu family has earned in just over three months. When the donkey cart arrived at Uncle Liu's house, realized that Liu Ye was right. The house in the whole village was the largest.The number of grandparents.

The house is not newly built, it is an extension next to the ancestral home, and one side of it is still a few pieces of land from the neighbor's house.

The grandparent's family has a large population, and there are many children in the four-bedroom family. Originally, they had no money, and they were all crowded in the old house, which was cramped.The two-acre homestead before and after the ancestral house was built, and the ancestral house was the center of the expansion. Now each house has its own courtyard.

There are two sons and one daughter in Uncle Liu's room. The eldest cousin has married Zheng's wife. Now it is said that she is four months pregnant. The eldest cousin is married. Today is the New Year's greetings, and she brought the eldest uncle back to her mother's house.As for the youngest son is Liu Shan.

The elders in Uncle Liu's room are the second aunt, and the three are sons. The eldest son Liu Qing is studying in school, and the second and third sons are Liu Chi and Liu Feng.

Uncle Liu's room is simple, Liu He is the eldest son, Liu Yun is the eldest daughter, and there is also a younger cousin who is less than three years old, who is now raised in the eldest aunt's room.

As for the fourth room, it is the fourth uncle Liu and the fourth aunt, and a pair of children Liu Shui and Liu Ye.

Before Chen Nianguan and his donkey cart arrived at the gate of Liu’s house, this group of relatives rushed out to greet them, and all of them looked at Chen Nianguan’s mother and daughter with sparkling eyes, as if they were looking at gold ingots, with enthusiasmvery.

"Happy New Year, Auntie!"

"Cousin, you are here!"

"Cousin, cousin, happy new year."

...

At this time, Chen Nianguan didn't move forward, and the elder Liu was in charge.

So after calling uncles and aunts, it was up to Mrs. Liu to say hello to the elders, and Chen Nianguan directed the cousins who hadn't seen each other for a few days to move the New Year's ceremony from the donkey cart.

Looking at the group of cousins who were talking and laughing peacefully, Chen Nianguan was very jealous.

Home and everything are going well.
