Rekindling looking back has been three lives

Chapter 172
"Dad! Mom's urn has been retrieved, or should it be placed in Wan'an Cemetery as you said last time?"

Xiao Yajun stood by the sofa respectfully and replied.

Mr. Xiao, who was watching TV, was silent for a while, and after a while, he hummed softly.

Xiao Yanan, who was also standing on the side, lightly touched his niece Xiao Yuejia with his elbow, and pursed secretly.

Xiao Yuejia understands sister-in-law's intentions.

She smiled and walked over to sit beside Xiao Lizhang, "Grandpa, why don't you put grandma's ashes in that cemetery?
Are you level enough?Put it in Wan'an Cemetery, if it spreads out, people will laugh at our family. "

To his daughter and granddaughter's little action that could be said to be 'blatant', the old man was not blind, and gave his daughter a stare.

However, Xiao Lizhang didn't mean to blame his beloved granddaughter.

Although the old man doesn't care about these things, after all, his children and grandchildren still live in the eyes and mouths of others.

It is human nature to mourn and honor after death.

It's normal for them to have this concern.

but……

Xiao Lizhang patted Xiao Yuejia's hand kindly, "It will be placed in Wan'an Cemetery, closer to you. It will be more convenient for me to visit your grandma in the future. It will take about ten minutes by car without hassle."

Xiao Yuejia was startled when she heard the words, and then nodded heavily.

You don't need to be persuaded, and you can't be persuaded to go in.

That's right, how can there be second place in the world for a strange woman like my grandma?

The two brothers and sisters Xiao Yanan and Xiao Yajun looked at each other and sighed in their hearts.

When I was in the rest house, whenever I went to visit my father at night, I always saw the old man sitting alone on the sofa.

He doesn't watch TV either, just sits there with a coffee cup of tea in front of him.

Xiao Yuejia's grandmother was the daughter of a bank capitalist. She lived well since she was a child, received a good education, and had seen the world.

On normal days, I like to sit in the coffee shop to pass the time in the afternoon.

Xiao Yajun knew that his father always criticized his mother for being petty bourgeois, but he tried his best to drink tea with his mother every time.

Coffee and tea, together for a lifetime.

Although their love for their mother is not the same as brother and sister, but they want their father who is still alive to live a more comfortable life in his later years, at least with a companion.

After picking up the old man from the dormitory, the two of them wondered if they could match up with the old man and the divorced or widowed retired female professors in the school.

But the old man said so, it seems that the stepmother's plan is hopeless.

Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat dignified, the old man greeted the two siblings, and sat down with his daughter-in-law and son-in-law.

"Since I've talked about it today, I'll give you an explanation."

"dad!"

"dad!"

Xiao Yanan and Shen Rou spoke at the same time, and everyone looked at the old man worriedly.

Anyone with an elderly person at home knows that what they are most afraid of is the sudden confession of funeral affairs by the elderly.

Xiao Lizhang waved his hands, winked at them like a urchin, and then smiled, "Don't worry, I haven't lived enough! At least I have to wait until my great-grandson can speak!"

Only then did everyone laugh with relief, Xiao Yuejia blinked her eyes, and nodded her head even though she was shy.

As it should be!

Son-in-law Yang Bin joked, "Dad, being able to talk is not enough! At least you have to wait until your great-grandson is admitted to university."

Xiao Yanan also hurriedly said, "Dad, you are only 81 years old this year, let's not talk too much, you strive to live to 100 years old!
We are also urging Little Crescent Moon to give you a big fat grandson in the past two years, who will be taught by you yourself.

Let alone the great-grandson, no matter how hard you work, maybe even the great-great-grandson will see it. "

Xiao Yuejia's little face turned red, and half ashamed and half coquettishly called "Sister-in-law".

Xiao Lizhang laughed loudly, "I won't teach! I won't teach! Great-grandson, I only care about pampering. If you want to teach, it's the runner-up's business. I won't get involved. I'll just be responsible for liking it."

Although such a topic was related to Xiao Yuejia, she couldn't get into it at all.

A gnat's head that was about to smoke had to be buried in his chest, and he sat there with nowhere to put his little hands.

Xiao Lizhang took a funny look at his granddaughter's small appearance, and started to talk about the topic, "From now on, the tomb will go with others, even if I go in the future, you don't put me and your mother there secretly.

I said, why are you guys so hard to see through?What's so good about that cemetery, except for face, there is no benefit at all!
I need to make an appointment in advance to visit the grave of my old comrade-in-arms. What's the point if I can't go in on some day?
Our old couple is afraid of being lonely. Home is where you are. Being closer to you is also convenient for you to come and see us. "

After finishing speaking, the old man turned his head and looked at Xiao Yuejia who was hesitant to speak.

In fact, the Xiao family's bloodline has been cut off, and they can only rely on their precious granddaughter to continue the incense.

Looking at the granddaughter who resembled his late wife, Xiao Lizhang calmed down, and said slowly, "Since you were born, you grew up in the fastest growing time of our Xiao family in this century.

Unlike your father and your aunt, you grew up without experiencing the ups and downs of their generation. There are disadvantages. In the face of difficult situations, you are not as resilient as they are.

But there are also advantages. As a talented person, you grew up smoothly and grew up in the prosperity of the Xiao family. You are far superior to them in terms of mind and structure.

Frankly speaking, if you were a man, grandpa would never make the decision to separate the family and wait for your decision.

Unfortunately, you are a girl.This is also the fate of my Xiao family. "

"grandfather……"

Xiao Yuejia was at a loss when she heard the words.

In fact, she was the one who opposed the separation the most.

After learning about Mr. Xiao's decision, Xiao Yuejia blamed herself very much.

If I don't choose Wu Chuzhi, then there is no need to separate the family?
Being clever, she understood in an instant the profound meaning of Grandpa's move to separate the family.

Xiao Lizhang patted his knee with a smile, "It's not what you think, it has nothing to do with your own marriage choice."

Without waiting for his granddaughter to say anything, he continued on his own, "You can't control those forces.

Since ancient times, the direct lineage has been able to suppress the collateral lineage, one lies in strength, and the other lies in the patriarchal clan.

What is Patriarchal Law?Patriarchal clan is an order maintained by bloodlines and descendants.

If the direct line has no children, then in terms of blood, the collateral line is respected. This does not mean that the problem will be solved if the child takes your surname. "

Xiao Yuejia bit her lips with her teeth, "Grandpa, after all, strength has the final say! If I'm strong enough, I can force them to bow their heads!"

Mr. Xiao shook his head and smiled helplessly, "I won't say anything else, do you think your boyfriend Wu Chuzhi will agree?"

Xiao Yuejia's face immediately turned pale when she heard the words, although she knew that it was impossible to keep her grandfather's affairs from Wu Chuzhi's affairs.

But after all, I didn't formally talk to grandpa.

Mr. Xiao brought it up so suddenly and directly, which made her feel a little flustered.

But when it was all said, Xiao Yuejia was not timid, her peach eyes were full of confidence, "He will agree!"

Xiao Yuejia thought to herself, at worst, she would agree with him to keep Qin Wan outside.

In the case of a one-for-one exchange, the stinky brother who has taken advantage of the sky cannot refuse to agree to the child's surname.

The old man looked at the determined Xiao Yuejia jokingly, and asked with a smile, "Two brothers with different surnames help each other and achieve each other? One inside and one outside?"

Just as Xiao Yuejia was about to nod her head, her beautiful big eyes suddenly widened.

Falling in love, she completely forgot about this before.

In other words, she didn't think about such a far-reaching thing at first.

"Little Yueya, are you going to make the two families fall into a situation where there is no redemption?"

The words spoken softly by the old man rang in Xiao Yuejia's ears like a thunderbolt.

I really wanted to miss it.

However, it doesn't matter, as long as it is a game, there must be a solution!
It's one person's fault, brother stinky won't see his son being wronged.

It's just a face-to-face first, I must take what belongs to me.

It's just a separation.

Blood ties are inseparable.

If the flowers are in full bloom, the butterflies will come!
She made up her mind, but felt a little guilty in the blink of an eye, and the "two different surnames" in her grandfather's mouth almost pointed out the existence of Qin Wan.

She knew that as long as the old man wanted to know, these things could not be hidden.

Seeing her expression, Mr. Xiao also knew that his granddaughter wanted to understand what he was hiding.

You don't need a heavy hammer to beat the drum, so there is no need to talk about it.

Moreover, the old man also felt embarrassed about this matter.

Two women fighting for husband?

Xiao Yuejia blushed with embarrassment and was angry in her heart. She was going to pick up Wu Chuzhi at the airport later, and then she had a good argument with him!

What a mess!
Faceless!
The old man coughed lightly, and brought the topic back. He knew her thoughts well about the granddaughter he had trained since childhood.

Obviously, Little Crescent Moon was not convinced, so Xiao Lizhang had no choice but to continue to wake her up.

There's no way, it's even scarier when a smart person gets into a dead end.

If you don't speak out today, this girl will continue to operate in private, and I don't know what will happen in the future.

It's not that there is no hope of success, it's just that Xiao Lizhang believes that it is completely unnecessary.

"Moreover, your thoughts on the issue of direct lineage and collateral lineage are too taken for granted."

Seeing that Xiao Yuejia didn't understand, the old man shook his head, "The direct line has no children, and the collateral line will not bow their heads, no matter how strong you are.

You are still young, you didn't understand what happened to your dad at the beginning of the year. "

Xiao Yuejia pursed her lips, "Isn't it just that I thought my dad couldn't get out at that time, and he didn't save Mingzhe to protect himself."

The family history of thousands of years has let her know that sometimes, one cannot act emotionally.

Therefore, regarding this matter, Xiao Yuejia is more open-minded than her mother Shen Rou.

The collateral approach is understandable.

But I don't forgive you, this is what Miss Ben has the final say on!
Xiao Yuejia had already found out a small book in her heart, and she was doing calculations.

Xiao Lizhang smiled, "There are factors in this aspect, it was true that it happened so suddenly that I didn't even react.

But if you say 'can't get out', it's an insult to their IQ, and there are still capable people in the collateral.

Among other things, Xiao Yahua can be a high-ranking member of the province, so he can't fail to see that your father is cooperating with the investigation, not a regulation, let alone a restraint. "

"You mean, they were up for sale?" Xiao Yuejia asked suspiciously.

Now that it can be seen, this kind of effort is not difficult, or even if it is just a statement.

Not only Xiao Yuejia didn't understand, Xiao Yanan was also dumbfounded, "Dad, don't be tricky, just speak straight.

It can't be for this illusory patriarchal position, right?This is too inexplicable. "

Xiao Lizhang shook his head, "Patriarch, a few decades ago there was some weight, but now it is becoming more and more useless.

Don't listen to the nonsense that Xiao Yahua and the others explained during the New Year's greetings because I, the patriarch, didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to act without authorization. "

"What do you want?" Xiao Yuejia was even more confused.

Don't want this, don't want that, what do they want?
In fact, Xiao Yuejia still has a good impression of her cousin Xiao Yahua.

On the one hand, his children are about the same age as him and can chat together; on the other hand, this uncle is really capable.

Everyone likes to play with the strong.

Mr. Xiao glanced at her with a smile, and the old god said,
"What they want is your marriage right, little crescent moon."

Her own marriage rights?
Xiao Yuejia's face turned pale when she heard the words.

Well calculated!

Use her to marry?
Shen Rou suddenly realized, "No wonder Xiao Yahua kept pushing back and forth when I came to the door, but she was so concerned about Xiao Yueya's marriage and recommended several candidates."

Xiao Yajun snorted coldly, "He also has a daughter himself, Xiao Qinni is only one year younger than Little Yueya'er, it's really suitable, he won't keep it for himself?"

In the end it was his wife, he didn't dare to call her stupid, he didn't see such an obvious thing.

Fortunately, my wife doesn't understand politics, so she didn't understand Xiao Yahua's hints.

Fortunately, there is such a Dinghaishenzhen as the old man in the family.

Otherwise, I wouldn't even know when my daughter was sold!

Xiao Yanan, who heard about this for the first time, opened his beautiful eyes and said angrily, "Ambition! A wolf! Dad, you usually help them so much, but they will plot against us in the end!"

Son-in-law Yang Bin was also angry. He watched Xiao Yuejia grow up, and his eldest brother and sister-in-law were so kind to him, "I will withdraw their resources when I go back!"

Yang Bin is the general manager of Yanda Resources, a real estate company, and usually takes good care of the Xiao family's offshoots.

Mr. Xiao put on his crutches and said angrily, "Stop talking about this!"

He took a deep breath and calmed down, "I, the so-called 'patriarch', really don't know the so-called.

In the past, our lineage was not a direct lineage, and it was they who saw that I had made meritorious service after returning from Korea, so they forced it on me.

Now, after all, I have already retired. This patriarch is only in name, so don't worry about it.

What's more, in their eyes, Xiao Yahua's family is the most powerful now, and he is the only one who follows the lead, so why should we find it uncomfortable? "

After that, he turned his head to look at Xiao Yajun, "Look, this time you went to get your mother's urn, didn't they let you back too, this in itself shows a problem.

After knowing that I came down from Xishan, they didn't even want to maintain their face. "

Xiao Yajun nodded silently.

He was ready to have a big fight, but he didn't know that others just tried to persuade him a few words, so he let himself go.

He understood what the old man said on the spot.

Speaking of it at this time, it was nothing more than awakening the daughter who still had fantasies about the "noble family".

It's not a bad thing, he can understand what his daughter thinks.

It's nothing more than glory.

In fact, it's not a big deal. She has lived in such a family since she was a child. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, her attachment to the family is indeed deeper than ordinary people.

Xiao Yajun sighed, the times have changed, and now there is no soil for the existence of powerful people at all.

I hope my daughter can figure it out, otherwise, with her clever tricks and Wu Chuzhi's monster, maybe she can really do this thing.

The moment of success is the time of self-destruction.

Xiao Yuejia's face turned even paler, she never expected that this would happen.

Mr. Xiao looked at the appearance of his granddaughter, and said with a smile, "Do you understand? The core of the patriarchal system lies in the inheritance of blood. It is very childish for you to want blood with a different surname to rule a family with a history of thousands of years. .

So, you don't have to blame yourself, and you don't have to recover from anything.From the moment you were born, Grandpa made up his mind to leave that family.

Otherwise, why did you give you the name 'Yuejia' instead of following the characters set by your ancestors? "

Xiao Yuejia completely understood that their generation is Qing, and girls should be 'Qin'.

For example, the twin children of her cousin Xiao Yahua, the son is called Xiao Qinglong, and the daughter is called Xiao Qinni.

In other words, from the moment he was born, grandpa had already planned to separate the family.

Xiao Yuejia was shocked.

At that time...

In the 80s, it should be the time when the Xiao family was preparing for a great prosperity.

The college entrance examination was resumed in 78. In the first few years, the college entrance examination was like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge, with a single-digit admission rate, and the scene was extremely tragic.

But for the Xiao family, which is a family of poets and books, it is completely a god-sent opportunity to rise up.

In the entire Xiao family, her father Xiao Yajun's generation has a total of 40 people.

Among them, 7 people were admitted to Huaqing University, 11 people were from Yanda University, and the remaining 20 people were all from top schools such as Shuangdan University and Jiaotong University.

Without exception.

Xiao Yuejia knew that her family had such powerful genes, she had been like this since she was a child, and it didn't take much effort.

It doesn't matter whether it's her talent or her good family education, the most important thing is the inheritance of the method of reading.

The family of prime ministers is not called for nothing, not to mention the No. 1 prime minister in the Han Dynasty, Xiao He, in the Tang Dynasty alone, there were 8 prime ministers from the Xiao family.

When he changed his surname to Jiang for a short time to avoid disaster, he also created the historical legend of "nine sons and ten Hanlin".

After the re-opening, in the era when college students were like pandas, the Xiao family attached great importance to the tradition of education, which ensured the rapid transition of the whole family.

From then until now, the cultural and educational background of the millennium began to be revealed slowly, the middle-aged generation made rapid progress, and the younger generation received frequent successes in the college entrance examination.

Xiao Yuejia's thoughts changed, what made Grandpa think of 'leaving the family' at that time?
Just because I'm a girl?
I'm afraid there are other reasons for this.
