Tree of Life Autonomous Region.
Shen Xingwan was not unfamiliar with this place name, and could even be considered familiar with it.
Legend has it that this is where the ancestors of the Shen family made their fortune. According to the Shen family's ancestral precepts, even if the descendants of the Shen family leave here, they must not forget their roots.
Due to the remote location and the poor environment, as descendants of the Shen family, we have been helping the development of this place in various ways.
However, Shen Xingwan had never been there, and she didn't know that there was a prairie there, exactly the same prairie as in her dream.
In her impression, the Tree of Life Autonomous Region is a place covered by desert.
Shen Xingwan frowned, and after some inner struggle, she made the final decision.
"I don't need to make any other plans these days. I'll go to the expo myself."
Although the special assistant was surprised, he immediately agreed.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that Mr. Shen is too dedicated. He even went on a business trip in person on his birthday.
After working overtime for another two hours, Shen Xingwan dragged his heavy body back to Riyue Villa.
As soon as I entered the living room, I heard lively talking and laughter coming from inside.
"Grandma, great-grandma, you are here!" Shen Xingwan covered the tiredness on her face with a smile.
The two old ladies saw through it immediately and felt very distressed, but they didn't show it. They smiled and waved to Shen Xingwan.
"Wanwan, come quickly. We are discussing how to celebrate your and Xiaoye's birthdays this year. Does Wanwan have any ideas?"
Seeing that his family members were looking at him expectantly, Shen Xingwan felt even more guilty.
"Grandma, great-grandma, I'm sorry, Wanwan can't celebrate her birthday with you this year..."
Both Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Pei looked surprised: "Why?"
"I happened to be on a business trip that day." Shen Xingwan scratched his head embarrassedly.
Old Mrs. Shen held Shen Xingwan's hand distressedly: "Wanwan, don't push yourself too hard. Your mom and grandma are here at the company."
"Yeah, Wanwan, your body is not made of iron. You can't handle such non-stop work. If it really doesn't work, I'll go for you." Pei Xingye also spoke from the side.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her with worried eyes, Shen Xingwan felt even more embarrassed and explained.
"This business trip was Wanwan's own choice."
Everyone looked at each other.
Shen Xingwan also took out the invitation and explained the reason.
The two old ladies suddenly laughed at the same time.
Pei Xingye also leaned over to take a look at the invitation, then smiled and shook his head: "Grandma must have had foresight. Isn't this just a coincidence?"
Shen Xingwan:?
Mrs. Pei returned the invitation to Shen Xingwan: "We were just discussing whether we should go to the Tree of Life Autonomous Region to celebrate your birthday this year."
Shen Xingwan blinked. What a coincidence?
Mrs. Shen smiled and explained, "The Shen family has a family motto that says you must return home once every fifty years. This year marks exactly fifty years since my last visit, so we decided to take you back home to celebrate your birthday."
Hearing this, Shen Xingwan was surprised and delighted: "That's great!"
This way she can attend the expo and celebrate her birthday with her family at the same time!
Three days later, the Shen family and the Pei family chartered a helicopter and set off on a grand journey to the Tree of Life Autonomous Region.
When we arrived, it was exactly the day before the opening ceremony.
Upon learning that Old Lady Shen from the Shen Family Ancestral Hall had arrived, the local government immediately sent people to greet her.
If it weren't for Old Lady Shen, they wouldn't have been able to build to this point. Now the World Expo is going to be held here, which is a great honor for the local people!
Old Mrs. Shen felt emotional as she looked at the green oases around her.
"When I last came here, it was all desert. Hundreds of years later, the wish of our ancestors has finally come true."
The young girl who came to greet us was also very excited: "All this is thanks to you, Mrs. Shen, and the Shen family. If it weren't for the Shen family's unremitting efforts to support the government in combating desertification, our home would have been swallowed by the desert long ago."
As the little girl spoke, she led everyone to the Shen family ancestral hall.
Today, the Shen Family Ancestral Hall has been listed as a national key protected scenic spot, and signs have been erected outside the fence, telling the long history of the Shen family.
"Children, what lesson does Grandma Shen's story teach us?" A clear female voice came from the ancestral hall.
"I know that every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country!" the child's tender voice followed.
The teacher narrowed his eyes and nodded, "That's right. Our place was called Beiyang Village in ancient times. Because it borders the border, it was often invaded by foreign enemies."
"The first person who saved Beiyang Village from disaster was Grandma Shen's mother, the future Queen of the Great Yan Kingdom. Later, Grandma Shen and her daughter guarded the border with the Luo family army, and drove away foreign enemies several times. From then on, foreign enemies never dared to invade our Beiyang Village again!"
"Grandma Shen and her family are so awesome!" The children raised their hands excitedly.
Shen Ruoxi and Pei Yaozhou looked at each other. They had only learned about this matter in their dreams.
Their son Lu Yongrui in the Great Yan Kingdom later had a son and a daughter. By chance, their daughter Lu Rong stayed in the Baiyu tribe and became Awan's daughter, and changed her name to Chen Rong.
Now it has all been recorded in history.
The teacher touched the children's heads and asked, "Which other children can tell me what moral this story teaches us?"
After a moment's silence, a little girl timidly raised her hand.
The teacher gave the little girl an encouraging look: "Don't be afraid, speak up boldly, it doesn't matter even if you say something wrong."
