I am a super cop

Chapter 2565 ancestor worship

At the dinner table, when talking about the job of the island guard, it seemed that only fresh graduates could accept it. Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh, feeling that these fresh graduates had become synonymous with cheapness and hardship.

So Gu Chen also curiously asked: "Is the son of the uncle from my hometown really ready to challenge the job of the island guard?"

"Yes." Gu Baichuan opened a bottle of red wine on the table, poured it for himself, and then said:

"Actually, the uncle from your hometown has decent family conditions, and his son wouldn't have had the trouble to apply for this kind of job."

"But you also know that the current employment environment is quite serious, especially this time of year when graduation is approaching."

"A large number of graduates will face the dilemma of finding a job. In this case, there is a job with an annual salary of 20, and it is relatively easy."

"For college students, this is simply a magical career. With such a good thing, why don't you get it?"

After the words fell, Gu Baichuan said again: "But then again, in today's society, if you don't have the Internet, it means you have no social attributes."

"You will lose all contact with the outside world. This kind of work, to a certain extent, really tempers your character."

"So to a certain extent, most people will be instinctively eliminated. Those who are truly qualified can only be one in a hundred or one in a thousand."

"If you ask me, it would be more reliable for that kid to find another job instead of doing this kind of job." Xiao Xiaofang also became worried for this little brother after hearing what Gu Baichuan said.

After all, in Xiao Xiaofang's eyes, this kind of work as an island guard is simply anti-human.

Gu Baichuan laughed and explained: "It doesn't matter what we said. The key is that this kid has ideas and seems to want to challenge some weird things."

"Do you think he goes to work? I don't think so. He goes to experience life."

"In my opinion, this child wants to experience life on an island without social interaction for a year."

"I know this kid. He has a very flamboyant personality. He needs to temper his temperament. Maybe after a month or two, I won't be able to stay any longer, so I'll come back."

"Aren't there liquidated damages or something?" Xiao Xiaofang said.

Gu Baichuan clicked his tongue and said slowly:

"Liquidated damages are only relative. Do you think people will care about this amount of liquidated damages?"

"It's quite interesting." Listening to the exchange between his father Gu Baichuan and his mother Xiao Xiaofang, Gu Chen suddenly became interested in this little brother from his hometown.

"Son." Just as Gu Chen was thinking, Gu Baichuan reminded him:

"Get up early tomorrow and drive back to your hometown. If you get up late, there will be traffic jams on the road. It happens every year."

"I know." Hearing what his father Gu Baichuan said, Gu Chen simply agreed.

Afterwards, the family enjoyed dinner happily.

……

……

The next morning, 6 am.

Gu Chen had already finished washing, and then he knocked on his parents' bedroom door and said, "Why haven't you gotten up yet?"

"Just get up." came the response from her mother Xiao Xiaofang in the room, also listlessly.

Gu Chen thought about it. He asked himself to get up early yesterday, but he still had to wait today.

Thinking that breakfast hadn't been served yet, Gu Chen said to the bedroom: "How about some noodles in the morning?"

"Okay." Xiao Xiaofang also responded.

……

……

Half an hour later, when Xiao Xiaofang finished washing, Gu Baichuan walked out of the bedroom listlessly, also yawning.

Xiao Xiaofang patted her husband Gu Baichuan on the shoulder: "Husband, why haven't you woke up yet? You asked your son to get up early yesterday, but today you stay in bed?"

"Isn't this my son driving? I can still sleep for a while in the car. I was really too busy and tired during the day yesterday."

"Dad, I've already made the noodles. You should quickly wash up and come over to eat."

On one side, Gu Baichuan was still angry, but on the other side, his son Gu Chen, who was on the other side of the kitchen, had already finished preparing breakfast.

After the family had a simple meal, Gu Chen drove the two of them directly towards his hometown.

Gu Chen's hometown is in an ancient town in Jiangnan City. In Gu Chen's impression, the architectural style here has always been blue tiles and green walls, and many floors are paved with blue bricks.

The various firewall structures, combined with the small bridges and flowing water here, make the entire Gu Chen's architectural style very southern.

It was raining lightly, so there was some hazy fog around.

While Gu Chen was still driving, Gu Baichuan's cell phone rang.

When he saw that the caller was his brother Gu Jianghe, Gu Baichuan immediately opened the answer button: "Hello!"

"Brother, you haven't arrived yet? I've been waiting for you for a long time." Brother Gu Jianghe said with a smile on the phone.

"Why do you come so early every time? I'm still on the way." Gu Baichuan explained.

"Then hurry up. I'm fishing by the river and waiting for you to join me." Gu Jianghe said on the phone.

"Okay." Gu Baichuan agreed, looked out the window, and then said: "We still have about ten minutes."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

While talking, the two of them also hung up the phone.

Gu Baichuan then explained: "Your uncle has arrived and is fishing by the river waiting for us."

"Why does he come so early every Qingming Festival?" Xiao Xiaofang, who was sitting in the back row, also asked curiously.

Gu Baichuan smiled slightly: "How did I know this? Anyway, every year during Qingming Festival, although he is in another city, he is always the first to arrive. Maybe he is homesick, right?"

While everyone was talking, Gu Chen made a left turn and drove the vehicle directly across a stone arch bridge.

Afterwards, he drove slowly and cautiously towards his hometown along a narrow passage along the riverside of the ancient town.

Along this way, because there were many people going back to their hometowns to worship their ancestors, vehicles were parked on the roadside, and they were scattered.

This has added a lot of trouble to the originally not spacious road.

Of course, these were not difficult for Gu Chen. Gu Chen drove through the narrow road and finally drove the vehicle to his hometown village.

Beside the river outside my hometown village, a familiar figure was sitting there fishing.

Gu Chen parked the vehicle on one side of the entrance of the ancestral hall. After getting out of the car, he walked directly towards the man and said hello: "Uncle."

"Hey? Gu Chen?" When he heard that his nephew Gu Chen was greeting him, Gu Jianghe, who was still fishing seriously, immediately smiled and said:

"Young man, you are still so energetic. I remember that every year you were busy with work and I couldn't see you during the Qingming Festival."

"What?" After becoming a leader, I got a vacation?

"That's not true." Seeing his uncle Gu Jianghe teasing him, Gu Chen also smiled slightly and quickly explained:

"It's because the leaders understand that I have been working during the Qingming Festival for the past few years, so they specially tolerated me and allowed me to have a Qingming holiday to spend time with my family and come back to worship my ancestors."

"Well, that's good." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Gu Jianghe looked at Gu Chen in front of him and smiled teasingly:

"You really can't tell? Our Gu family can also have a great leader like you, Gu Chen."

"You are young and are now the deputy director of the branch. I told others about this, but they still didn't believe me and said I was bragging. Who should I talk to to reason with you?"

"Haha, who asked you to brag to others?" Xiao Xiaofang also said jokingly after hearing this. Gu Jianghe smiled, and then said: "Sister-in-law, your son has a lot of potential, and as an uncle, I will benefit from it to some extent?"

"You let me have such a powerful nephew, and you don't want to show it off to others. How can that be justified?"

"Gu Chen is actually very ordinary, but the leader thinks more highly of him." Xiao Xiaofang is actually relatively low-key.

When Gu Jianghe heard this, he also shook his fingers and said jokingly: "Sister-in-law, are you being humble again?"

"Let me tell you, an outstanding young man like our Gu Chen should be promoted more. After all, it is the glory of the family."

Turning to look at Gu Baichuan, Gu Jianghe said again: "Brother, you have such an outstanding son. That is really the blessing of our Gu family ancestors."

"Haha, what are you talking about?" Listening to his brother's compliments, Gu Baichuan actually felt happy, but he couldn't make it too obvious.

In the past, when he returned to his hometown, no one saw Gu Chen coming. In fact, Gu Baichuan often boasted about Gu Chen in front of his family.

After all, the excellence of a son is to bring face to his parents.

And Gu Chen has always been a very good representative. From childhood to adulthood, he has been the so-called role model for his family in educating their children.

Therefore, Gu Chen often became someone else's child among these people in his hometown.

In fact, Gu Chen had already become numb to such compliments.

Gu Chen's return during the Qingming Festival this time made the originally deserted village suddenly become lively.

Several family members passing by to pay homage to their ancestors would deliberately come over to exchange a few words when they saw Gu Chen.

Since Gu Chen had been living in the city since he was a child, he didn't have a deep impression of his elders in the countryside, but he was just familiar with them.

But in everyone's eyes, Gu Chen is like a big star.

The deputy director of Furong Branch of Jiangnan City, this title alone is a very explosive presence in the village.

It’s enough for my family to talk about for a month.

"Gu Chen, are you back?"

"Ah."

"Is work okay?"

"good."

"Very busy."

"Yes, quite busy."

……

Facing the constant greetings from the old family members passing by, Gu Chen could only simply agree.

Everyone was more interested in talking to Gu Baichuan and Gu Jianghe.

After all, we have a close relationship with these two people, so the old family members are also very enthusiastic.

As the number of ancestor worshipers increased, Xiao Xiaofang also reminded: "Shall we go there early to worship our ancestors?"

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Gu Jianghe quickly lifted the bucket from the river and looked at the "results" he had harvested, and said proudly:

"It didn't take long to fish, but I was able to catch four big fish and two small fish. Is that okay?"

"Are you planning to cook for lunch?" Xiao Xiaofang asked.

"Cooking? What to cook? Although it is wild, cooking fish for lunch is more troublesome."

As he spoke, Gu Jianghe poured the bucket directly into the river.

Several large and small fish that were originally in the bucket also returned to the river.

"Eh? Why did you let him go? Isn't this work in vain?" When Xiao Xiaofang saw this, she also felt sorry for Gu Jianghe.

Gu Jianghe smiled and said, "I'm fishing, just for fun."

"If you want to eat fish, I'll go to the market to buy it. I can buy fish bigger than this."

Looking at the released fish that were still popping up by the river, Gu Jianghe added: "Although these wild fish are big, they are not enough to fit between my teeth."

"Haha, that's true." As soon as Gu Jianghe finished speaking, Xiao Xiaofang also echoed.

Then, another middle-aged man, wearing galoshes and carrying ancestor worship items, walked towards the river.

When he saw Gu Chen's family, he turned around and looked behind him, shouting towards the house: "Are you okay?"

"I'll be ready soon." A young man responded from inside the house.

Gu Baichuan glanced in that direction, and then explained to Gu Chen: "It's your uncle, whose son wants to be the island guard."

"So it's their home?" Gu Chen wasn't actually familiar with this family, but the house in his hometown was not far from this home.

Therefore, every time I go back to my hometown, I can meet them more or less.

In Gu Chen's impression, the son of his uncle from his hometown had been naughty and mischievous since he was a child. He had always been by his side and was ridiculed as his follower.

Now that I think back to those bits and pieces from the beginning, it seems that it has been a few years.

Since Gu Chen's grandparents died early, Gu Chen rarely came to his hometown.

I am not so familiar with the neighbors in my hometown.

But I still have some impression of this uncle's son.

"Gu Chen, are you back?" The middle-aged man walked up to Gu Chen and greeted Gu Chen with a smile on his face.

"Yes, I happened to have a day off, so I came back." Gu Chen also smiled slightly and explained.

"Well, people who are leaders have completely different temperaments." The middle-aged man said jokingly as he looked Gu Chen up and down.

"Are you kidding me? What kind of temperament is there?" Gu Chen grinned and responded politely.

"Brother Gu Chen." At this time, Gu Chen suddenly heard someone calling him not far away.

Turning around, he saw that it was the uncle's son, the young man who wanted to be the island guard.

"Do you still remember me? We haven't seen each other for many years." Before Gu Chen could say anything, the young man immediately stepped forward, put down the ancestor worship items in his hands, and shook hands with Gu Chen.

"Of course I remember. Every time I went back to my hometown, you would always follow me. I remember that you seemed to be quite young at the time. I didn't expect that you would graduate from college so soon?"

"Yes." Seeing what Gu Chen said, the young man scratched his cheek and said involuntarily:

"We haven't seen each other for some years, so of course you think my previous impression was that I was still a little kid."

"But I have graduated this year and will go out to work soon."

"Are you going to be the island guard?" Gu Chen thought of this and asked casually.
