Chapter 167 Ancestral Hall
There is almost no change in the courtyard and room in memory.
It's just that there are two more rattan chairs and a TV in the living room. The TV is a wooden shell Panasonic brought back by Goro. It is surrounded by cloth outside, and even the radiator is not let go.
Su Cheng couldn't help laughing and sat on the rattan chair by himself, facing the TV and the small window, feeling very relieved.
The smile on the corners of Xu Liya's mouth has not disappeared. She took out a large canned bottle from under the TV cabinet and said, "I heard that you were coming, so I boiled rock sugar water. It's already cold. You loved it when you were a child. I turn on the TV and watch it by myself. There are books next to me. I'll heat up the food and I can eat it right away.
The kitchen is on the other side of the courtyard, which is also the most familiar place in Sucheng when he was a child.
Su Cheng sniffed deeply, and his whole body seemed to have sublimated.
Outside the door, there was the sound of fried pig skin.
Su Cheng smiled unconsciously, picked up the canned bottle and drank a big sip of rock sugar water. The sweet smell almost penetrated into the lungs, and the bumps of the journey gradually disappeared.
"If it's just a rest, it's good to stay in the countryside. The premise is that there is no worries about food and clothing, peaceful children, medicine, convenient transportation..." Su Cheng thought of this and smiled dumbly. Such a requirement may be simple for Europeans, and I am about to reach it, but it will take another 30 years, maybe 50 years, to see the effect.
"Then let's start with me." Su Cheng looked at the green mountains and rivers outside the window and thought: it is also a huge challenge to make money and save the environment.
Below the window lattice is a writing desk, and next to it is a bookcase.
Su Cheng walked over with the canned bottle in his arms and looked from left to right. Some were familiar to him, and some seemed to be new.
The outside of the bookcase is covered with transparent glass, which is obviously to protect the book. Every book in it is also wrapped in the book cover, and then rewrite the title and author on the spine of the book with Juanxiu's font: Dai Houying's "People, People!" and Hegel's Aesthetics". Pu Cunxin's "Where is the Light", as well as "October", "Harvest"...
Su Cheng smiled. This is the bookshelf of people in the 1980s. Every literary youth likes aesthetics, and everyone who walks through [luck] yearns for beauty.
"Come on, eat something and read a book." Xu Liya took three plates and hurried to serve the dishes. She said, "You sent me some books in it."
"Um..." Su Cheng showed some smiles. It's a natural smile.
There is braised pork with skin on the table. There is also a fragrant pig's tail, plus a plate of strips and a plate of vegetables. And a mushroom is indeed a rare and hearty dinner.
Su Cheng sat down quietly and tasted one by one.
Xu Liya looked at it with a smile. He said, "You child, why is it so quiet when you go home? Didn't you make noise all day long before? Have you really grown up? Do you have a partner?"
"Mom." Su Cheng shouted out with a smile and said, "It's like having a date."
"That's good. Why don't you bring it back to have a look."
Su Cheng giggled twice and bowed his head to eat vegetable rice.
Xu Liya didn't say anything. After giving him more food, they didn't eat together.
Su Cheng quickly adapted to this environment and was very relaxed. The fatigue and drowsiness accumulated a few days ago. 〖 Xing] All the worries surged up. When he was full, he fell asleep without saying a word.
Xu Liya covered him with a quilt, looked around for a while, and then went to the kitchen to make porridge. Later, she called Su Cheng to get up and talk about porridge.
The next day. Su Cheng is ready to sleep in.
It was all clear outside the window, but I heard the shuttle sound, as if several people were talking in a low voice. Look at the watch again, it's only 9 o'clock in the morning.
Su Cheng thought about it and got up.
Go out to the yard. Sure enough, there were several people waiting.
is the fourth uncle and the third uncle. In addition, there are several distant relatives. While chatting with his mother Xu Liya, he was on the side of the house.
When Su Cheng went out, several people stood up and said, "The city is coming."
There are also peers, so shout "Su Cheng".
"Ap. Good morning, everyone. Uncle, third uncle, it's up. Su Cheng took a basin of water, washed up in the yard, and sat down.
My uncle has been to Dong*ying and is also the father of Goro and Shiro. The third uncle is the father of the fourth sister Xu Feng. He is younger and has just reached 40.
Both of them were a little nervous and said, "Su Cheng, we are here to thank you. Goro, Silang and your fourth sister are all promising..."
Su Cheng asked them to finish their words of thanks, and then said with a smile, "There is always someone around to help. Goro and others have done a good job. Don't worry about it."
Seeing that his attitude had not changed, the old farmer's cousin smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, stabbed the third uncle with his elbow, and said with a smile, "Look, I said that Su Cheng is not the kind of person who forgets the countryside when he has money. It's not good. Let their brothers help each other."
"You are a man." The third uncle is a relatively shrewd person. He opens a small shop at home and often goes to the town to buy goods. He knows more about the status of Sucheng. He also warned others before he came. Unexpectedly, he was sold by his cousin in a blink of an eye.
Su Cheng pretended not to hear it and said with a smile, "I'm going to go to the ancestral hall to have a look. Let's talk while walking?"
"It's just in time, Dad said yesterday that he would worship his ancestors. Let's go and let our ancestors see the seeds of our old Xu family." The third uncle took Su Cheng and left. Although it is not a surname, Su Cheng grew up in Jingshan and has not been discriminated against much. On the contrary, due to the love of her grandfather, Xu Liya, the only daughter, grew up in Sucheng alone, and did not receive too many doubts and criticisms. In this era, it is extremely rare.
Su Cheng still remembers that when he was a child, the uncles of the whole village went out to carry poles and hoes to make trouble in the neighboring village. Speaking of which, it's just that a few people in the neighboring village saw Xu Liya going out, and their mouths were cheap.
The fight was very big. Many people were injured, and some people were sent to the hospital. It is said that the police have been dispatched. Looking back, they sent things to Xu Liya and advised her not to be sad.
It was those clothes splashing with blood that closed Su Cheng's heart.
Xu Liya caught up with her and put a shoulder for Su Cheng. The group talked and laughed, and they arrived at the center of the village in a few minutes.
Behind Jingshan Village is the location of Xu's ancestral tomb. The ancestral hall is slightly built to the front, but it is an antique building. Although it is only one floor, it is tall and large, and the windows are bright. It can't be called majesty, but it is also dignified.
"Aren't you going to build it?" Su Cheng asked in a low voice.
"Your grandfather took the lead, the brothers and nephews fought together, and the whole village was built by the old and the young." My uncle said proudly, "I'm a big worker with 50 jobs a day."
"Have you recorded the work score again?" Su Cheng then laughed.
"There is no money in the village. It is said that it was scored and given something. It was only the time when Goro came back and cashed a little. I still have hundreds of points to put it." My uncle coughed twice as a very old farmer. Look at Su Cheng. He said, "We left the workers' money and drove the road. Don't you think it's much better to leave when you come back this time?
Su Cheng looked bitter. He said, "That's good to go."
The results were erased, and his uncle said dissatisfiedly, "Is it not easy to leave? Then you can repair the gray road.
"Don't say it, after I come back. It is to repair the gray road for us. One is not enough. We will not only repair it in the town, but also in the provincial capital.
"Chengzi, you have to think about it. It's a good thing to build a road. There's no need to build such a long road. Now it's valuable to build a road..." Uncle was not happy as expected, but persuaded him pains him.
In front. Suddenly, there was a heavy cough and said, "Chairman Su is willing to build roads for his hometown. This is a good thing. We should support it."
Su Cheng looked up, but he was a tall and thin man he didn't know, wearing a jacket outside and a shirt inside. At first glance, he is a cadre.
Grandpa Xu Baoming stood beside the cadre and introduced, "This is the governor of Ru County in Ba County. He heard that you were coming and came by car this morning."
"The head of County Ru has a heart." Su Cheng shook hands with him faintly.
"Chairman Su Yijin returned to his hometown to support the construction of his hometown. I should thank you." The county magistrate of Ru County does not have the airs of county-level cadres, at least not in front of Su City.
The villagers saw the dignity of a county and spoke in front of Sucheng. Suddenly, the vanity increased greatly, and at the same time, he also had a new understanding of Su Cheng himself.
Just as people pricked up their ears and were ready to listen to their senior greetings, Su Cheng let go of his hand and said, "Today, I will worship my ancestors, not talk about business."
He winned at his grandfather and entered the ancestral hall.
No matter what the county magistrate Ru is, it is not easy to break into other people's ancestral hall, so he can only wait outside.
Xu Baoming lit the incense of the ancestral hall and kowtowed with Su Cheng.
Because it is not a grand day, there is no too cumbersome ceremony, nevertheless, the worship took nearly an hour.
Out of the ancestral hall, the county magistrate of Naru was still waiting respectfully.
Su Cheng is not surprised. Investment attraction existed as early as the 1980s. At that time, the rich could only be overseas Chinese, so the central government and the overseas Chinese offices of various provinces and cities were looking for overseas relations. After 1985, there was gradually a richer group of people, and the work of attracting investment slowly began to China.
Ba County, where Jingshan is located, is a typical poverty-stricken county. Industry is sluggish, agriculture is backward, and trade is limited to ordinary commercial transactions. It's easy to hear about Dahua Industry in Sucheng. How can there be impatience?
At this time, it was also the happiest period for Chinese businessmen. The compliments of officials everywhere almost made businessmen think that they really had political rights.
Xu Baoming patted Su Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Let's have a banquet in the whole village at noon. These days, you can talk to the mayor of Ru County first."
The county magistrate Ru came over and said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, save me a seat. I'll have a good drink with Su Dong."
"The county magistrate Ru doesn't have to. You don't have to accompany me if you are so busy."
"It is my main job to entertain Su Dong well. No matter how busy you are, you won't be too busy to entertain people. The head of Ru County raised his fist and said, "Our Ba County is a county that serves around the clock."
Su Cheng sighed, turned his head directly and said, "Counttain Ru, well, do you want to invest? Or do you want to donate?
"Naturally, it is investment, and the conditions in our Ba County are very good..." The head of Ru County is ready to take the opportunity to make a good introduction.
Su Cheng interrupted him and said honestly, "If you find 30 teachers for me, I will invest 1 million yuan. If you want to be a good teacher, you can teach in Jingshan Village. We are responsible for the teacher's shuttle bus and food and accommodation.
County magistrate Ru was moved and said, "30 teachers, it's not easy to find. Jingshan is too far from the county seat."
"Our Jingshan Village can pay a little overtime pay. In addition, your Ba County can provide a volunteer rotation service." Su Cheng smiled gently and said, "When we build Jingshan, there will be no shortage of teachers."
The county magistrate of Ru agreed and asked about the highway.
