Chapter 27 Ancestral House
"Okay, you can use one of the municipal government's cars for convenience. Anyway, this is a patriotic businessman. Let's show our dignity." The mayor directly dispatched a car for Xu Wenlong to use.

The next morning, Xu Wenlong came to the guest house early, and Guo Yongren got up early. Although the conditions here cannot be compared with those big hotels in Hong Kong, they are much better than the average ones. At least hot water is always available.

When Xu Wenlong came over, Guo Yongren had just had breakfast. Seeing Xu Wenlong, Guo Yongren asked, "Uncle Xu, have you had breakfast? If not, have some."

"I have eaten, it depends on whether you have eaten or not. If you have eaten, we will start directly. The road condition is not very good. We still need some time." Xu Wenlong said directly, Guo Xing nodded,

"I've eaten, then let's go." Guo Yongren was not a procrastinator, Xu Wenlong and Guo Yongren made it to the back row of the car, and Fang Zhan sat on the co-pilot.

Xu Wenlong didn't bring his secretary with him on purpose, knowing that there were two people in Guo Yongren's place, if he brought his secretary with him, he would definitely not be able to sit down, so the car drove out of the guest house, and drove directly to Hudong.

Now the Shanghai stock market has not yet developed, and the eastern part of Shanghai is a wasteland with uneven ground. The distance from here to Guojia Village is still not close. Guo Yongren and Xu Wenlong chatted happily along the way.

Wei Ming told Guo Yongren that Xu Wenlong was a smoker. When Guo Yongren took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Wenlong, and lit it for Xu Wenlong, the two of them puffed and smoked for a while, and their relationship became a lot closer.

It was almost noon when the car arrived at Guojia Village. Guo Mingde, the head of Guojia Village, received a notice from Xu Wenlong yesterday that he was coming today, saying that he was bringing foreign guests from Guojia Village to see the ancestral house.

The ancestral house, which occupies a large area, is very famous. It has a history of hundreds of years. The old people in the village have said that the richest man in Guojia Village lived there, and it was also the elder's house of the Guo family. Left during the war.

I really didn't expect that the descendants of this family are back now. This is an opportunity for the village. If you can let this one spend a sum of money to build a primary school in the village, it will be of great help. The children should not go to the town Went to school.

Early in the morning, Guo Mingde was waiting at the entrance of the village. From a long distance away, he saw a car approaching. These days, only high-ranking officials can get in a car, and Guo Mingde dare not neglect at all.

The car stopped, and Xu Wenlong and Guo Yongren got out of the car. To be honest, this trip was really bumpy, so it's good to get down and take a walk.

Xu Wenlong looked at Guo Mingde and just smiled, "Old Guo, I brought you the nobleman. At noon, you can figure it out." Guo Mingde's eyes lit up, and he looked up and down at Guo Yongren.

"There, Uncle Xu praised me. I'm a wanderer returning home." Guo Yongren hurriedly said, this is the root of the Guo family, and the Guo family went out from here.

"Okay, what a wanderer coming home, what's the name of this little friend?" Guo Mingde has studied for several years, not an ordinary person
"My name is Guo Yongren, Uncle," Guo Yongren called eagerly. Hearing the name Uncle, Guo Mingde smiled.

"Come on, nephew, you're home here. It's noon now. Come to my house for dinner. After dinner, I'll take you to see. Your house is the patriarch of our Guo family." Guo Mingde said loudly, raising his head. The status of Guo Yongren's family was destroyed.

"Thank you, Uncle," Guo Yongren said generously, already having the desire to improve the village in his heart

Not taking the car anymore, the three of them walked while talking, Guo Yongren handed Guo Mingde a cigarette, and lit it, the three of them got closer and walked in a puff of smoke.

This place is not very far from the seaside, so there is also a lot of rain, not to mention the accumulation of water in places, many places have to go around, and then arrived at Guo Mingde's house.

Early this morning, Guo Mingde gathered a lot of seafood. At the same time, he bought a chicken and two large jars of wine in the village on credit.

At home, Guo Mingde's wife started cooking while watching the time. She ordered seven or eight dishes, opened a jar of wine, and used it to entertain Xu Wenlong and Guo Yongren.

Guo Yongren directly put two packs of cigarettes on the table, which is regarded as one pack of cigarettes in front of each person, and let go of the smoke. At this time, the dishes are ready, and they are all from the sea. Guo Mingde opened the wine and poured it directly. The three of them drank up.

Xu Wenlong said yesterday that he will stay here for one night today. The guest room has been tidied up. At Guo Mingde's house, the west wing room has been vacated and new bedding has been replaced, which is very convenient.

After three rounds of drinking and five flavors of food, Guo Mingde began to complain to Guo Yongren, sometimes in tears, Guo Yongren also shed tears, and the three of them talked and cried.

"Uncle, don't worry, since I'm here, I must do some practical things for the village. This is also my grandfather's and my father's wish." Guo Yongren immediately stated his position, and finally stopped Guo Mingde's sadness.

After eating a meal for more than two hours, the three of them came out and went straight to the old house of the Guo family. The old house of the Guo family is located at the east end of the village, and the purple air comes from the east.

When he came here, Guo Yongren was stunned for a moment. Damn, the family is really a landlord, and the land is really not small. There are three floors of large courtyards in the front, middle and back, small bridges and flowing water, rockery fountains, carved beams and painted columns, and towering trees.

It's just that weeds are everywhere now, and the ash on the walls of the courtyard has fallen off, but Guo Yongren doesn't care. Here, Guo Yongren feels a sense of familiarity and a sense of belonging.

Neither Xu Wenlong nor Guo Mingde went in. At this time, it was suitable for Guo Yongren to be alone, and the two of them were talking and puffing away outside.

"Old Guo, you can do it. Let me see, your elementary school is fine. This may be more than that. Guo Yongren should be the kind of person who values ​​feelings." Xu Wenlong's eyes are very poisonous, and he has seen Guo Yongren's nature seven times. Seven or eight.

"As long as the elementary school can be built, I don't care about crying, or kneeling on the ground. The village is too poor. As an elder, I shouldn't be so calculating about the younger generation, but now I really have no choice." Guo Mingde said with a face said guiltily.

After Guo Yongren entered, he looked back and forth. He stopped in a room in the backyard and opened the door. Inside was a small ancestral hall, where many spiritual tablets were enshrined. There was a large table in front with a black incense burner.
