"Chunping, if I'm not mistaken, Ningbao is going along, right?"
Mu Chunping smiled and nodded.
"Uncle, you're so smart. Ningbao really should go too."
Isn't this going to build tombs for my grandparents and great-grandparents?
My son Ningbao said we should just buy the hill behind the house, then choose a spot to build a grave, and plant some fruit trees and raise chickens and ducks in the other areas.
There will definitely be many villages looking at places tomorrow. If someone takes a fancy to that place on the back mountain, we'll have to waste time and effort arguing.
Anyway, it's not far, and there's room to stay in the county town, so we might as well go tonight and get things done first thing tomorrow morning. Then the villagers will have to choose from other places.”
Lin Dajiang raised an eyebrow.
"Chunping, you mean Ningbao has already found a place? Then I'll go find Ningbao to look at a place too, and we'll set off tonight."
No sooner had Lin Dajiang finished speaking than Mu Chunping said directly,
"Uncle, Ningbao said that based on your family's situation, he found a suitable hill for you, which is the one next to you."
If you don't think it's suitable, talk to Ningbao later and choose another one.
As Mu Chunping spoke, he pointed in a certain direction. Ning Bao knew that the clever old man Lin Dajiang would definitely buy the mountain with them.
So Ningbao directly chose the location.
Lin Dajiang was a smart man. He didn't strive for the best from the Mu family. He always settled for second best, as long as he was satisfied with being second best from the Mu family.
After all, everyone has selfish tendencies, if Ningbao were their child.
He might also ask to keep the best feng shui for himself.
In that case, he'll be happy with a less desirable position.
"Oh my, Ningbao is so thoughtful. I can trust the places Ningbao chooses. We'll buy wherever Ningbao says we'll buy. I trust Ningbao."
"Jianfei, quickly take the money and the household registration certificate, and go to the county town with Chunping."
...................
After quickly tidying up, Lin Jianfei, Ning Bao, and Mu Chunping quietly left the village in the Mu family's carriage.
Ning Bao guessed correctly. The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, villagers came to the Mu family's door and knocked.
The person who opened the door was Li Guizhi, who had just gotten up. Upon seeing Li Guizhi, the other person quickly said...
"Auntie, is Ningbao awake yet?"
Although Li Guizhi knew what was going on, she still smiled and said...
"Lin Zhi, is there something you need from Ning Bao?"
Unfortunately, Ningbao came back yesterday saying she missed her brothers, and after dinner she insisted on going out of town to see them.
My sons Chunping and Jianfei just went to the county town to run errands today; they actually went last night.
"They went to the county town?" Lin Zhi was taken aback.
"Auntie, it's like this, I've taken a liking to that piece of mountain land behind your house. I was originally thinking of asking Ningbao to help me look at the feng shui and see if it's suitable to place my parents' graves there."
"Auntie, did Chunping and Jianfei go to buy a burial plot?"
Li Guizhi nodded solemnly.
"Yes, now that the remains have been brought back, we're thinking of settling this matter as soon as possible."
It's quite a coincidence, actually. My family was planning to buy that piece of land behind the mountain. We didn't even think about having Ningbao look at the feng shui, mainly because it was my father who had his eye on that land.
He said that living close to home makes it convenient for him to visit his parents.
Before, when his legs were weak, Chunping had to carry him to the cemetery. Now that his legs are better, he says he'll be able to go when they're stronger.
I'm really sorry about this, Lin Zhi. I didn't expect your family to have their eyes on this land as well.
If we had known earlier, we would have definitely changed to another one; at the time, we were only thinking about getting closer to home.
I was thinking of buying a bigger one so I could plant some fruit trees and raise chickens and ducks.
