Chapter 85: Relocation of Graves
The meal lasted until nine o'clock. After the meal, Wu Xinwei suggested going to sing, but Zhong Hui refused on the grounds that she had a child with her.
"I told you today's meal wouldn't be that delicious," Yang Fangqin said in the car.
"Old Wu probably has no other choice. When doing business, do you think you always look up to the sky? Let me tell you, there are many times when you have to be humble." Zhong Xiong was deeply touched.
"Actually, the decoration industry has a bright future. It's a pity that I'm short of money right now, otherwise I would also like to get a piece of the pie." Zhong Xiong sighed.
"Okay, just do your job well and don't look at the grass on the other side." Yang Fangqin said quickly.
"I know. How could I not know?" Zhong Xiong said immediately.
"By the way, our village will be moving graves the day after tomorrow. Zhong Hui, did you know about this?" Zhong Xiong suddenly said.
"I know. I received the notice." Zhong Hui rubbed her temples.
After their village was demolished, the houses were demolished first. The houses have now been leveled, and there are still ancestral graves on the back mountain.
Moving the graves is a big deal. All the men, women, young and old in Shangtuan Village have to go back. The ancestral graves are where Zhong Hui's parents and grandparents are buried. They just need to move with the villagers.
The problem is that next to the ancestral tomb, which is the former land of Zhong Hui's family, there are the tombs of Ge Zhihua's parents, who are also Linlin's grandparents. Ge Zhihua has now gone to Beijing. What is going on? Zhong Hui gets a headache when she thinks about it.
"I tell you, they are Ge Zhihua's parents. It has nothing to do with you. Why do you care so much?" Yang Fangqin said.
Zhong Hui also understood, but they were Linlin’s grandparents after all.
"Mom, what is relocating graves?" Linlin asked curiously with her eyes wide open.
"Relocating a grave means moving the deceased to a new place to sleep," Zhong Xu explained to her. "Mom, is that right?"
"Yes, yes, you are right. Stop talking and be quiet." Yang Fangqin signaled him to shut up.
Zhong Xu curled his lips. His explanation was easy to understand.
Linlin held Zhong Hui's hand tightly and said, "Mom, where will grandpa and grandma sleep from now on?"
Zhong Hui patted Linlin's head and said, "Mom doesn't know either, but the Party Secretary will make arrangements. We'll know then, okay?"
"Yeah." Linlin nodded obediently.
Her uncle called her the day before yesterday, and Zhong Hui told her directly that she and Ge Zhihua had divorced, and asked him to contact Ge Zhihua directly about these matters.
I don’t know if her uncle has contacted anyone, but he should have. If he couldn’t, he would have looked for her a long time ago.
Thinking of this, Zhong Hui felt relieved. She would go back the day after tomorrow and follow the main group, and just do whatever they were asked to do.
…
On the day of relocating graves in Shangtuan Village, all the villagers, young and old, who were still at home, went out. The men went to relocate the graves, while the women chatted in the village, waiting for them to come back.
The branch secretary specially hired someone to cook, and I heard that today's lunch will be very sumptuous.
Zhong Hui, Yang Fangqin and Aunt Meihua found a table and sat down, chatting while eating melon seeds.
"The changes are really huge. In just a few months, our village has become a flat land." Aunt Meihua sighed.
"Who said it wasn't? When I came back today, I couldn't even find where my home was before." Zhong Hui said.
"It's a flat piece of land now, but it will become an industrial park in the future with factory buildings everywhere, making it even harder to find."
Today might be their last time back, and they all felt quite sad.
"Hey, why don't I see Lai Pozi and Lai Lao San today? Today is such an important day, the branch secretary should have notified everyone, right?" Suddenly, Zhong Hui looked around and said curiously.
Aunt Meihua came over and whispered, "He's hiding from his creditors. I heard that Lai Lao San is in debt and has gone into hiding somewhere else. Mrs. Lai must be embarrassed and is hiding away."
"This Lai Lao San is just spoiled by Lai Po. Look at Lai Lao Da and Lai Lao Er, who dares to get involved in this?" Zhong Hui shook her head and pointed at Zhang Xiaoyun and Wang Jingjing not far away.
This was the first time Zhong Hui saw Zhang Xiaoyun since she had a knife fight with Lai Pozi in Xinhe Community.
In the past, Zhang Xiaoyun always looked timid, but now she has short hair and looks neat.
Seeing Zhong Hui looking at him, he smiled at her.
"Fortunately, Zhang Xiaoyun had the courage to divide the family, otherwise, the eldest and second sons' families would have been dragged down to death." Aunt Meihua still felt a lingering fear when she thought about it. Gambling can be fatal.
"Don't be fooled by the peaceful appearance of our village. It's a mess underneath."
"What's going on? What's going on?" Zhong Hui and Yang Fangqin both leaned over. Why couldn't they see the excitement?
"Well, I just heard that there are quite a few people like Lai Lao San in our village. Our village was demolished, and we suddenly became rich. Those who are interested must be keeping an eye on us."
"Alas, flies don't bite seamless eggs. This person still needs to be down-to-earth, otherwise, he will hurt others, himself and his whole family."
Talking about this topic, everyone was in a bad mood. It was really too terrible.
"Don't talk about this. It makes me uncomfortable just listening to it."
"Let's talk about something else, something else."
Zhong Hui looked to the side and saw Zhong Fang's new wife holding a baby not far away. If the accountant's wife hadn't been sitting next to her, Zhong Hui wouldn't have recognized her.
"That's Zhong Fang's new wife. I used to see her with a thick layer of powder on her face, but today I finally see her true face." Zhong Hui took another look.
Tsk tsk, Zhong Fang's taste is really not that good. His new wife's face is really big. If compared with He Yanqing, her face is twice as big as He Yanqing's.
Big face, small eyes, wow, Zhong Hui has a pretty good aesthetic sense.
Yang Fangqin was also shocked: "Is he changing his wife again? She didn't look like this the last time I saw her?"
"You guys are surprised by what you have seen. I used to wear makeup. How can there be no difference between wearing makeup and not wearing makeup?" Aunt Meihua said.
The difference is really huge. Putting on makeup is like changing your face.
Aunt Accountant used to be a very talkative person who would chat with anyone everywhere. But today she just sat there motionless and didn't talk to anyone.
"What's wrong with her?" Zhong Hui asked Aunt Meihua.
"Why else? She's embarrassed. When Zhong Fang and He Yanqing divorced, she applauded and agreed, saying that her family simply had no grandchildren. Now that they finally have an heir, how could she join in the fun when so many people are laughing at her family?"
Zhong Hui has no sympathy for their family at all, and she deserves it!
