Chapter 165 Thoughts

"My dear relatives, our small place is not as good as Beijing. Please forgive us for our poor hospitality." Cheng Tian stood up and toasted with a glass of wine.

"It's quite good. The cultural heritage and customs are quite good. It's quite lively." Father Lu said, and the two in-laws clinked glasses.

The lively engagement banquet ended with the toasting of cups, but Luo Xiao and Yan Zhiyi could not find a chance to be alone.

Especially when they were being sent away, Yan Zhiyi also had to leave. He was not pretending to leave, but he really had to go back to Beijing to handle some work. This also caused the other party's mood to be particularly low since he got on the plane.

Lu Qing did not go back to Beijing with them, but stayed here to have some fun for a while. Luo Xiao did not join in the fun and act as a light bulb.

Yan Zhiyi was not there and he had no interest in going out to play, but he still went out.

Yan Chen drove the car to Luo Xiao's destination.

When he came back earlier, Luo Xiao planned to wait until the engagement party was held before coming to pay his respects. Now that the engagement party has been held, he has come too.

This was the first time he came here to worship after moving here. Luo Xiao knew that if he did not come to worship, no one else would come. As for whether Luo Donglu came or not, that was his business.

Stepping onto this unfamiliar new cemetery, Luo Xiao's heart was still calm.

There was no familiar place to bring back his memories.

Relying on the impression of the last migration, Luo Xiao successfully found the place.

He laid out the things he brought one by one, and then started folding gold ingots on the spot.

He had said before that he wanted to be alone for a while, so Yan Chen moved his things to a place and left the space to Luo Xiao.

Luo Xiao folded all the gold ingots and then burned them. The ancestors of their family were all nearby, so they all worshipped together.

After the worship was over, Luo Xiao went down the mountain. He was not allowed to look back after leaving, so he left without looking back.

Luo Xiao didn't say a word until he got in the car, immersed in his own thoughts.

Yan Chen drove without looking around and didn't say a word, because at this moment, any words he said would be futile.

Looking at the scenery receding outside the window, Luo Xiao had no intention of appreciating it. There were no familiar scenes here, it was a completely new area.

Suddenly, Luo Xiao saw a figure squatting on the side of the road.

"Stop the car, back up and go to the person who was squatting on the side of the road." Luo Xiao said.

Yan Chen gently stepped on the brakes and reversed the car.

"Master Luo, do you know this person?" Yan Chen asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the village chief of our former village." Luo Xiao said and opened the car door.

Yan Chen opened the car door faster than him and appeared beside him. He also quickly held up a parasol to help Luo Xiao block the sun.

"Uncle village chief? Why are you squatting on the side of the road?" Luo Xiao asked.

The middle-aged man called the village chief slowly raised his head and glanced at Luo Xiao.

In fact, when Luo Xiao got closer, he smelled a odor of alcohol.

It's such a hot day, and I'm squatting on the roadside after drinking, under the scorching sun. It's pretty uncomfortable.

"Who are you?" the village chief asked with confusion.

"I'm Luo Xiao, the village chief uncle." Luo Xiao reported his name.

"Oh, Luo Xiao, Xiao Wazi, I thought you were some rich family's young master. No, you are indeed a rich man. Xiao Wazi, are you here to visit the grave as well?" he asked Luo Xiao.

"Yes, we are here to visit the graves. Uncle Village Chief, are you here too? Why don't you ride your bike here? This place is a bit far from the planned area." Luo Xiao said.

"No need to call me uncle village chief. I'm no longer the village chief, and the village is gone too. Just call me uncle. I came here today to see the accountant and have a few drinks with him, so I didn't ride my bike here." He spoke clearly. He had drunk alcohol, but he was sober.

"Uncle Accountant?" Luo Xiao asked.

"He was unlucky. He didn't get to enjoy his wealth. But it's good that he passed away instantly without lying on the sickbed and suffering." He said with some sadness.

After hearing this, Luo Xiao didn't know what to say.

"Uncle, get in the car, I'll take you home." He changed the subject.

"No, no, I'll just walk, just walk. When we were young, we could easily carry a heavy load and walk for forty or fifty kilometers. Although we are not young anymore, it is still no problem to walk back empty-handed. What's more, I'm so dirty, it would be bad to dirty such a nice car of yours. Don't worry about me, Xiaowazi, you go first." He waved his hand and refused to get in the car.

"Uncle, it's not about being dirty or not. Cars are for people to sit in. You've been drinking and squatting here in the hot sun. Now that I've seen you, I can't let you stay here. Come on, get in the car and I'll take you home." Luo Xiao opened the car door and motioned for him to get in.

He looked at the seriousness in Luo Xiao's eyes, which showed no displeasure at all. After thinking for a while, he patted his pants and got in the car.

After getting in the car, he didn't say much, didn't mention the car, and didn't mention that Luo Xiaoyou was the driver.

He just said, "Xiaowazi, I'm glad you're doing well. As long as you're doing well, your grandpa can rest assured." After he said that, he didn't say anything else.

Luo Xiao felt mixed emotions after hearing this.

Grandpa is not worried. What is he worried about? What Grandpa was worried about in the last moments was his son, his little grandson. Although he is also a grandson that Grandpa is worried about, he is not the only one. Now, he has severed his relationship with Luo Donglu and sent him to do such hard work. If Grandpa knew about this, he would definitely not be reassured.

Seeing that Luo Xiao didn't respond, he suddenly felt that what he had just said seemed to be wrong.

So he didn't say much, just occasionally said a few words about the direction home.

Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the gate of the newly planned community.

"Xiao Wazi, thank you. How about this, you guys don't leave yet, come to my house for dinner before going back." He invited warmly after getting out of the car.

"No, thank you uncle. You go back first. We have to go home too." After Luo Xiao said that, he waved to him and Yan Chen drove away.

The person who stayed behind to watch the figure behind the car waited until the car was out of sight, then he put his hands behind his back and went into the community to go home.

It was planned to be a residential area, not a village anymore, so he was naturally laid off as the village chief, so he felt a little uncomfortable. Another old friend suddenly passed away, so today he went to have a few drinks with his old friend. He didn't drive after drinking, so he walked back. He got tired halfway and unexpectedly got a ride.

At the same time, he thought of Luo Donglu who was not grateful for his blessings. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Luo Xiao, who was leaving, had no idea what he was thinking. Yan Chen, who was driving, regretted that he didn't drive faster. If he had driven faster, Young Master Luo would not have been able to see the person squatting on the roadside clearly, and if he hadn't sent the person back, he would not have been able to hear what the other person said, and it would not have affected Young Master Luo's mood.

He thought about it and decided to report truthfully. To coax people, he had to rely on his boss.
