I had expected that Old Man He’s family would not treat us well, so we brought our own food.
Now that the old village chief has invited us, we have a place to cook.
In fact, the old village chief didn't need to ask anyone to take us to find my grandfather's grave, because my aunt knew it, but a man insisted on leading us.
He must be very familiar with my dad, as he kept asking my dad about me all the way.
My dad also asked me to call him Uncle Lao!
"Jinsong! Your son is so handsome and talented. Your father... no, your uncle has promised the girl from the Shao family to be with him.
But the girl from the Shao family was too arrogant. As a result, the Shao family was almost bankrupted by your son.
I was thinking, my daughter is similar to your son, why don't we become relatives?"
"Lao Jian! Don't talk to me about this. My son has his own ideas. If you want to, just let your daughter make friends with my son herself."
My aunt said directly from behind: "Second brother! Don't listen to him. His daughter can pretend to be two of us, Zheng Yang.
Lao Jian, what are you thinking? Zheng Yang is not blind.
"Okay! You're still trying to rip me off. My daughter is just a little fat. But let me tell you, your child hasn't even been born yet!"
I let you laugh at me, but be careful that you too will have a fat girl."
"ha……"
Many villagers came, and I found that my aunt was quite popular in the village.
As we walked up the mountain, chatting and laughing, I discovered that the cemetery in the village was not built randomly, but was divided into sections.
Each family plans an area.
However, there are some special cases. For example, those who have made special contributions to the country will be buried near the top of the mountain.
My grandfather is right there, and in the words of the villagers, he is someone that everyone in the village should remember.
During festivals, every family will prepare an extra portion to offer to them.
This made us feel a little better. At least my grandpa was not alone without anyone to look after him.
Just as we arrived at my grandfather's grave, we saw a large bouquet of fresh flowers.
It's so fresh in this cold weather, it looks like it was just released not long ago.
"Has anyone come to pay homage to my grandfather before?"
I picked up the flowers and looked at them, and saw a bottle of red wine.
Romanee-Conti! This wine is not cheap.
"Uncle Lao! Has anyone in the village come to pay homage to my grandfather recently?"
No matter who it is, if he brings such good wine to offer as a sacrifice, he is worthy of being my friend.
"No? I haven't seen any strangers entering the village recently. How about this, when we get back we can ask the old village chief and his group of elders.
They're always watching me! I only have time to go back to the village these past two days."
Those who are in the village now have returned because of the Spring Festival.
But the flowers had just bloomed, so they didn't see it. I guess it's hard for those old people either.
The memorial service didn’t last long. We kowtowed to my grandfather and then returned to the village.
The things we brought, plus what the old village chief prepared, filled several tables.
Those who had a good relationship with my father when he was a child also came.
There were also some elderly people in the village, especially some retired soldiers, who insisted that I tell them about what happened on Gaim Island.
Apart from the matter between Shi Yanren, Shao Lingze and Angela, I didn't hide anything else and told them a lot.
Especially when I talked about Mei Jun being beaten by the island residents, the old people all shouted with joy.
The meal lasted more than two hours, during which time I saw someone who looked very much like my dad passing by the door.
Although it was only a flash, I still saw his face clearly.
"Zheng Yang! Don't pay attention to them. The one who just passed by is my eldest brother, He Jinhua.
I guess my dad asked him to come and see if you guys are miserable."
Does he think that if they don’t entertain us, we will be miserable?
What a joke.
Not long after, He Xiaohe's phone rang: "What? Is this true?"
He Xiaohe looked at me, then said after listening: "I will go back after the people come."
"What's wrong?"
He Xiaohe didn't hide it from me: "You know that super pearl, right?"
How could I not know this? If it weren't for me, would she have come back?
"Yao Shengnan?"
"Yes! It's her. She's actually dating your uncle... the He Jinhua who just came over, and his son.
He also said that people would be here soon and asked me to go back and help with cooking.”
I also didn't want her to get into any unpleasant situations with her family: "Then Auntie, why don't you go back first?"
"No need! They just said they would come, but they haven't come yet! Oh, right! He Tong is back too. She was the one who called me just now.
My dad wouldn't let her come over, so she told me to tell you that she's already achieved some research results. Don't worry, she won't let you spend your money in vain."
The money was originally given to her, I don't care at all.
"Tell her not to be anxious and to study it slowly."
"Old village chief!" At this time, a man ran into the yard from outside.
My aunt nudged me and said, "This is your third uncle—He Jinbai!"
He Tong’s “father”?
He Jinbai came and without even looking at my dad, he went straight to the old village chief:
"Old village chief! My eldest brother's daughter-in-law is here. She is Super Pearl and the chief engineer of the fourth-generation aircraft.
My dad is thinking, can she also be included in the Honor Roll? Can you please come and greet her?"
Holy crap! It seems this village doesn't have any state secrets. The chief engineer of the fourth-generation aircraft can talk about this information casually.
"Oh? Fourth-generation aircraft? Are you sure?" It seems that the old village chief is also concerned about this.
"How could we be wrong? Look, old village chief..."
The old village chief turned and looked at me.
"Grandpa Village Chief! We've almost finished drinking. You go ahead and do your thing. We'll pack up and leave."
