The skeletons of more than twenty heroes were placed in coffins covered with the national flag of the Great Xia Kingdom and pulled by small pickup trucks, heading to the provincial capital in a mighty procession.
Along the way, people who received the news sent flowers and gifts.
When those ghosts saw that their bodies were respected by so many people and that they had returned to the embrace of their motherland, their obsessions disappeared.
It disappeared before it could be buried.
Qian Xiaolan and Gu Yanqing hid in the crowd, followed the hearse to the Martyrs' Park, and watched them being buried one by one.
After everyone observed a moment of silence, they left.
Afterwards, they sent the bodies of Uncle Lu and Uncle Chu back to Hai City, but did not find their relatives.
The two uncles felt very regretful but they could do nothing about it. Finally they let Qian Xiaolan take them away again. They wanted to bury the body on the mountain in Qinghe Village.
Before leaving Hai City, the two told Qian Xiaolan where they hid their treasure.
Qian Xiaolan found a total of three boxes of gold and two boxes of Yuan Datou coins.
With such a rich harvest, Qian Xiaolan promised them that she would find them a Feng Shui treasured site.
When they returned to Qinghe Village, it was only two days before the Chinese New Year, so Qian Xiaolan and Gu Yanqing decided to "come out of isolation."
Gu Yanqing went to find Gu Shengli to talk about this. When Gu Shengli heard that someone was going to spend a large sum of money to buy a cemetery, how could he not agree?
He immediately went to the commune to report it. If the matter was handled successfully, the money from the sale of the land would go to the state, but it would also be beneficial to their brigade.
Gu Shengli was very efficient. He went there in the morning and came back with good news in the afternoon.
A piece of land with good feng shui was directly given to be sold.
All this is thanks to the factory that is currently under construction. The higher-ups feel that since Qian Xiaolan's Lan&Qing has done so well in Nan Province and Shenzhen City, it will surely be able to do well here for a long time.
When workers from other places come here to work, some of them will bring their families with them. It will not be a bad idea to prepare a place to build a cemetery.
When Qian Xiaolan heard the news, she could only say that she was worthy of being a leader because she thought a lot.
Today, the Gu family became more lively because Qian Xiaolan and her family of three came back to celebrate the New Year.
You have to fry a lot of peanuts and melon seeds alone.
There are also glutinous rice candy, rice cake, yellow rice cake, peanut candy and the like.
These snacks were made by the three sisters-in-law of the Gu family, Qian Xiaolan, Gu Yujiao, and Gu Yanqing and Gu Sanhe, all taking a whole day to prepare.
On New Year's Eve, they started working early in the morning and had a simple lunch.
At around 1:00 p.m., they started placing dishes on the table to offer sacrifices to their ancestors. After the ancestors had finished eating, the women put all the dishes back into the pot and added more ingredients.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, the 20 members of the Gu family, plus Luo Xiang and his friends, filled three tables.
The table was filled with all kinds of delicious food, and the children were drooling at the sight.
After the head of the family, Gu Changshun, raised his glass and said a few auspicious words to everyone, the children couldn't wait to start eating.
"I want chicken legs, don't fight with me!"
"What's so good about chicken legs? The sweet and sour spareribs are delicious, sour and sweet!"
"I want the big elbow, which has the most meat."
"You guys are all stupid. The braised lion's head, four-happiness meatballs, and cold-mixed walnut and black fungus made by my aunt are delicious."
As soon as Gu Xingyao finished speaking, everyone's chopsticks reached out to the dish made by Qian Xiaolan, making him scream in anger.
"Hey, leave some for me!"
"Wow, are you all bandits? I wouldn't have said anything if I had known. Leave some meatballs for me. Hey, give me the last one!"
…
The children at the table were happily fighting for food, and the adults were laughing as they watched.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the adults started giving out New Year’s money. Hu Guifen and her friends all gave one dollar each.
Qian Xiaolan and Gu Yanqing each gave five yuan.
It’s not that they want to surpass their parents and brothers and sisters-in-law, but everyone knows that they are rich, and if the New Year’s money given to the children is too little, people will inevitably talk about it.
Luo Xiang and his friends also gave the children one dollar as a token of their appreciation.
Gu Xingyue and Gu Xingyao are both very sensible and they dare not accept the child without their parents' permission.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and finally Gu Yanqing asked to accept it.
The children got more than 20 yuan at once. They were so happy that they smiled from ear to ear. They kept patting their pockets with their hands, for fear of losing the money.
Mrs. Gu glanced at the three Gu Xingyao brothers and stretched out her hand to them: "You are still young, it is not safe to carry so much money on you, leave it with your mother first, and I will save it for you to buy stationery for your studies after the New Year."
Gu Xingyao jumped behind Hu Guifen and said, "Grandma, my mom is trying to cheat me out of my New Year's money again."
Gu Xingyang pulled Gu Xinghe and hid behind Gu Changshun: "Grandpa, my mother wants to cheat me of my money again. I haven't even warmed up the money yet, and she's taking it away again."
Not only the eldest wife did this, but also the second and third wives of Gu reached out to their children.
"You are still so young, and everything you eat, wear and use is bought by your family. Now that you have received the New Year's money, shouldn't you give it to your mother to buy things in the future?"
"Don't worry, Mommy won't take all of yours. Can I leave a couple of cents for each of you?"
Mrs. Gu agreed, "Yes, I'll leave two cents for each of you."
Hu Guifen and Gu Changshun watched with smiles, neither of them said a word.
When he heard that he was only giving 20 cents, Gu Xingyao jumped up and down, "Mom, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, you are too mean, aren't you?
We each had 24 yuan, you took it all and only gave us 20 cents?
The money given to us is less than one percent? Even capitalists would cry when they hear this! "
“Puchi!” “Hahahaha”
Gu Xingyao's words were so funny that Luo Xiang and the others couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The others were also amused and laughed their heads off.
In the end, it was Hu Guifen who made the decision, "Okay, life is better now.
Let's make the children happy during the New Year and leave two yuan for each of them."
"Give the rest of the money to your parents, do you hear me?"
Gu Xingyao pouted, and Gu Xingyue pulled her back and said sweetly, "Okay, grandma."
Then, he took out two yuan from the stack of New Year's money and handed the rest to Gu Ersao. "Mom, this money is for you."
Seven-year-old Gu Xingrou also followed her sister's example and gave the money to her mother.
Mrs. Gu happily accepted it and patted the sisters' heads: "Our Yueyue and Rourou are still well-behaved, unlike those brats."
The boys were very dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to resist anymore, otherwise they would not even have two dollars left.
They reluctantly handed over their New Year's money and went to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings.
When Guoguo saw that her brothers and sisters had handed in the money, she also handed in the money obediently.
And the person she handed it over to was Hu Guifen!
"Give, support, you!"
After a moment of shock, Hu Guifen picked up Guoguo and kissed him fiercely.
"Oh, grandma really loves our Guoguo. She is so well behaved."
Qian Xiaolan and Gu Yanqing felt jealous when they saw the two of them being so affectionate.
