Looking back on 2009

Chapter 241 Luck
The days at home passed slowly, but also quickly.

As usual, after the New Year's greetings, Chen Zhihe proposed to go to Jiangcheng in advance on the grounds that he had to be busy.

This time, it really wasn't his excuse. The company has piled up a lot of things during this period. Although there are not many things that need to be handled by him as the chairman, one thing counts as one, and it is a big thing.

But this time, Father Chen refused.

The reason is also very simple, he feels that Chen Zhihe has grown up, and he should take on some things as a new generation of the Chen family.

For example, go to "send the light" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

This is a tradition in the Dabie Mountains. Chen Zhihe has known it since he was a child. He used to think that it was found in the whole country, but later he realized that it is only in the Dabie Mountains.

The fire on the first day, the lamp on the fifteenth day.

Sending light means sending lights, and the general meaning is to light a bright light for the ancestors to go home.

To put it simply, it is to go to the ancestor's grave on the fifteenth day, then burn the paper, and light a candle in front of the grave, and let it burn out.

Chen Zhihe only participated in it when he was very young. At that time, he just joined in the fun. Later, after he went to school, he thought the distance was far away, so he never followed him.

In my impression, sending light gradually became an activity for adults.

Chen Zhihe did not refuse Father Chen's request.

Ever since the family knew that he had a career, even this year's New Year's greetings were made by Chen Zhihe alone, and Father Chen felt a bit like abdicating his position to make way for the virtuous.

In his previous life, Chen Zhihe didn't have this kind of experience, but when he thought of the white-haired parents giving away the black-haired parents in another world, Chen Zhihe felt that he could only make up for this debt in this life.

The fifteenth day of the first month.

The ancestral graves of the Chen family are not in the same place. The graves of Chen Zhihe's grandparents and great-grandparents are near the family's house.

Those who have a long generation are very far away, not only the age is long, but the distance is also far away.

Most of Chen Zhizhen couldn't name them, and they didn't know which generation's ancestors' graves they belonged to. Some even didn't even know Father Chen, but only knew that they belonged to the Chen family's ancestral graves.

Among them is an ancestral grave, which is located on the mountain opposite Chen Zhihe's hometown. It looks halfway up the mountain, but there are only forest trails, and it takes at least two or three hours to climb up.

In line with the principle of first being far away and then being near, the light was delivered one by one. By the time the father and son arrived at the last ancestral grave on the opposite mountain, it was already afternoon.

There were overgrown bushes in front of the grave, and Dad Chen took out the hatchet in the basket and quickly cleared an open space.

Taking out the prepared paper money, Father Chen thought for a while, handed the paper to Chen Zhihe, and said, "Come on."

Chen Zhihe took the paper money silently, imitating Father Chen's previous action, drew a circle on the ground, lit the paper money and placed it in the circle.

After the paper money was burned out, Chen Zhihe lit a candle and placed it in a sheltered place by the tombstone.

Then, he took a few steps back, clasped his hands together, and kowtowed three times.

Father Chen silently watched the series of movements completed by Chen Zhihe, and nodded in satisfaction.

After standing by the tomb for a while longer, observing that there was no risk of fire, the father and son started walking back down the hill.

Chen Zhihe, who was walking behind, looked at Father Chen's hunched body when he went down the mountain, and suddenly said, "Dad, when will you retire?"

Father Chen was stunned for a moment, then supported a tree beside him, and said, "It's early, what's the matter?"

Chen Zhihe considered it carefully: "Why don't you resign."

Father Chen almost didn't realize it. He stared at him and was about to say something when he suddenly thought that his son was already a billionaire. What are you doing, eating at home and waiting to die?"

Father Chen continued: "Do you know why I asked you to come with me this time?"

Before Chen Zhihe could answer, Father Chen asked himself and answered: "On the one hand, you are now promising, and I should tell you these things. This time I will take you to find out the way. I won't be able to climb the mountain in the future. These things It’s yours; on the other hand, the Chen family is in your generation, and they are considered promising, and originally planned to bring you here after the college entrance examination, but the time is not right, and this time just in time.”

"Everyone in the town said that you were admitted as the number one student in the county's liberal arts because there was smoke from the Chen family ancestor's grave. These words somewhat obliterated your efforts."

"But everything is one thing, and we are all intellectuals. We shouldn't have said these things, but is there really no element of luck in it?"

"It is not necessarily a feudal superstition to say that the ancestors are blessed."

Chen Zhihe remained silent, was he lucky?
That is very lucky, if even rebirth is not considered lucky, then what is considered lucky.

Thinking about the ancestors who worshiped today, Chen Zhihe felt in his heart that perhaps there really was the blessing of ancestors.

Seeing that Chen Zhihe didn't speak, Father Chen continued: "You can be regarded as a young man, but you must remember not to lose your money. Wealth and honor can be relied on but not relied on. You must understand this truth."

Chen Zhihe nodded and said, "Dad, I understand what you said, and I know how to measure."

Father Chen nodded and said, "It's good to know how to measure, and I can't help you with anything, but with my family affairs, don't worry about it."

Until they got home, neither father nor son said anything.

However, Chen Zhihe knew that his father, who seldom communicated with him, said this to him for the first time, because he must have thought about it for a long time.

And there are some things that only my own father can say.

……

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Zhihe hurried back to Jiangcheng after leaving 10 yuan for his parents.

Not only Lei Jun was urging him, but Liu Chengan was also hinting and asking him when he would go to Yanjing.

But, first he had to go to the school to report and register.

Fortunately, the reporting process is very simple, just go to the hospital to get a stamp.

404 The others came earlier, and Chen Zhihe was the last one to arrive. When he returned to the dormitory, several people were in the dormitory, each sitting in front of the computer.

"Brother Chen, it's a bit late this year." Seeing Chen Zhihe enter the door, Xu Xiaoran glanced at it, then turned to stare at the computer.

Seeing their serious expressions, Chen Zhihe leaned over to take a look.

Hey!
They are all playing games.

The familiar music and images are the League of Legends that just landed on the national server last year.

In his previous life, Chen Zhihe also played this game, and he also watched Lei Jun play the US server before, and seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

Before he could speak, Chen Wen raised his head, looked at Chen Zhihe and said, "Brother Chen, this game is so fun, there are four rows in our dormitory, you can download one quickly."

Chen Zhihe glanced at Chen Wen's computer screen, the record was 0/7, almost super ghost.

Seeing Chen Wen's high spirits, Chen Zhihe glanced at his mouth, he is really good at cooking and loves to play.

However, he is not the only one who is outrageous, Xu Xiaoran is already a super ghost, and He Linsen is still a normal person.

However, he turned on the computer and downloaded the game.

It's also a nostalgia for the past.
