I am many years in the courtyard

July NO.30, two days have passed since the earthquake.

Nanyuan Airport is always busy.

There is an endless stream of planes flying from Hong Kong Island. Almost every 10 minutes, a plane will take off or land.

Trans Asia Shipping Company's cargo planes and passenger planes are basically contracted, and they are all used to transport relief supplies.

On Hong Kong Island, many newspapers such as New Economic Daily and Zhongyong Daily, as well as Infinite TV, etc., are reporting on the earthquake in the north.

All walks of life feel the same way about this natural and man-made disaster and have reached out to help.

There was an endless stream of rescue teams and donations were in good order.

In terms of media, the rescue progress, related donations, etc. are reported almost every day.

Not many reporters can be approved to go to earthquake-stricken areas to shoot.

Several media outlets, including New Economic Daily, were naturally approved.

Infinity TV broadcast the video clip directly, and all the people in Hong Kong watched the news and were all shocked.

Natural disasters like earthquakes are really terrifying to humans.

Villa 72, Deepwater Bay.

Lao Xu and others watched the news and were very worried for many years, because he was the only one in his family who went to the disaster area to provide relief.

"Isn't Lao Wu very smart? How can he continue to do this? And he is so rich, why would he go to such a dangerous place? Let us worry."

Hu Meifeng, who lives in Villa No. 36 in Deep Water Bay, watched the news and said something inappropriate.

Then Xu Xiaoqian, Xu Xiaoman and the others scolded them several times.

"Mom, how can you say that to Uncle Wu? You are going too far!"

This matter, somehow, reached No. 72, and Lao Xu and Zhou Hongmei all knew about it.

The old couple was furious. They walked angrily to Villa No. 36, found Hu Meifeng, pointed at her nose and started to curse.

The latter was scolded and lost his temper.

Even Xu Danian was not spared and was scolded all the same.

"If you don't discipline your own daughter-in-law well, if this sentence is known by the fifth child, you..."

If this is the case, this home will probably be even more chaotic by then.

Qin Huairu and the others soon found out about this and were very angry.

What time is it, and you still make sarcastic remarks?

Bai Doufu was trembling with anger and said angrily:

"If she dares to come to our house in the future, I will drive her away with a broom. She is really a white-eyed wolf!"

In the past, if Bai Doufu spoke like this, Qin Huairu would definitely say something to her.

But now, Qin Huairu agrees.

After all, Hu Meifeng went too far this time.

Fan Zhaodi and Yao Chunxi, who were standing next to them, were filled with indignation. I don't know what they were thinking in their hearts.

Compared with Hu Meifeng, the two sisters-in-law Fan Zhaodi and Yao Chunxi have become much more humble in recent times.

There is no way, who will let their children fail?
Hu Meifeng has two daughters, Xu Xiaoqian and Xu Xiaoman, who are good at making money. She also bought a big villa. Of course she is very tough when speaking in front of big guys.

When I was in Beijing, everyone was pretty much the same.

With the huge gap between the rich and the poor now, Fan Zhaodi and Yao Chunxi certainly lack the confidence to speak.

Lou Xiao'e, who came in from the door, saw that everyone in the room was strange and the atmosphere was weird, so she immediately spoke in a low voice.

When she found out that her sister-in-law was responsible for the incident, she was immediately speechless.

Although she, Duan Nian and Qin Huairu occasionally had quarrels over trivial matters.

But most of the time, they still live in harmony.

But what my sister-in-law did today was very unethical.

How can anyone speak like this?

They're still relatives, it's really too much.

For many years in the north, I didn't know what happened at home. If I did, I wouldn't be surprised.

After all, it is perfectly normal for a person like Hu Meifeng to say such things.

The rescue operation has ended, but it has not left Tangshan for many years.

The little girl he saved in the end kept crying.

Many doctors and nurses in the temporary hospital were unable to do anything to her.

It wasn't until many years later that she happened to come to see her that she stopped crying.

"Uncle, where are my parents?"

She should be about four or five years old, very thin, and her little face is no longer as dirty as before.

After many years of sighing, of course her parents are gone, and she should be alone.

Ugh!
It was really miserable.

I have seen too many such things in the past few days and many years.

Although this little girl was lucky enough to survive, her parents could no longer accompany her to protect her.

Time flies and August is here in a blink of an eye.

The disaster relief work has come to an end, and the next step is the post-disaster reconstruction work.

The supplies and money shipped from Hong Kong Island have already been arrived.

All are distributed uniformly by Wenjin Street.

He did not intervene again for many years, but returned to his home in Beihe Hutong, the capital.

There were also a few tiles at home that fell off.

The capital was still too close to Tangshan, and the courtyard houses were affected.

Following many years back to the capital was the little girl, her name was Hua Mengyao.

Very nice name, very cute child.

Apart from her parents, she has no other relatives.

According to the information learned during the visit, only a few families in the factory community where her family was located have been rescued.

As an important industrial town in the north, Tangshan has gathered too many factories.

The entire city, with nearly a million people, was buried overnight.

The loss in an instant was too great.

As of now, the exact amount of losses cannot be calculated.

The most important thing is people, many died.

There are very few lucky people like Hua Mengyao.

He had seen her pitifully for many years and she had been pestering him and was unwilling to leave him, so he decided to take her back to the capital.

After staying at home for a few days, I briefly repaired and inspected the house in the courtyard. After many years, I planned to return to Hong Kong Island.

"father!"

Suddenly, when I woke up this morning, I heard Hua Mengyao shouting like this.

"Dad, I don't want to leave you. Don't send me away. I will be very obedient from now on, okay?"

Children who are four or five years old are actually sensible.

The reason why he changed his tune and stopped calling me uncle is probably because he accepted the reality.

She had a sore nose for many years, so she suppressed her emotions and comforted her:
"Okay, I won't send you away, but you want to go home with me, okay?"

"Thank you dad!"

Seeing her smiling happily made me feel a lot better for many years.

This is a little angel. Since we are destined, let’s keep it.

I just don’t know what Qin Huairu’s opinion is?
And what do they think of Xiaodoubao?
However, with this little girl, Qin Huairu shouldn't argue with him anymore about having another child, right?

To be honest, if it weren't for fate, I wouldn't have been willing to adopt Hua Mengyao for many years.

But the latter is just too painful.

Her life had just begun and it became like this.

Ugh!
life!
"Dad, are we going to take a plane?"

Beijing, Nanyuan Airport, Hua Mengyao raised her little head and asked curiously.

Yu Guangyuan next to him had already answered first:

"Yes, how about we take a plane back to your father's home in Hong Kong Island and meet your mother and brothers and sisters then? Are you happy?"

In addition to Yu Guangyuan who will return to Hong Kong Island with him many years ago, there are also Zhao Junyao, Feng Jianbing, Peng Zhigang and others who came to see him off.

Several of them were also very reluctant to leave this little guy Hua Mengyao.

I always feel that this child is so pitiful.

"Dad, will mom not like me?"

When Hua Mengyao heard this, her little face suddenly became nervous.

Although she is still young, a child of four or five years old does not understand everything.

In the past few days, when she slept every day, she frowned, trembled from time to time, and even woke up from a fright.

It can be said that I almost never slept well.

Gently let go of the little guy's hand, put his hands on her shoulders, and said with a gentle smile:

"No, your mother will definitely like you very much. She especially likes children."

Yu Guangyuan on the side also echoed a few words.

On the other hand, Zhao Junyao and the others had complicated eyes and were speechless.

After a while, they began to board the plane and waved goodbye to Zhao Junyao and others.

After getting on the plane, Hua Mengyao was curious about everything in front of her and slowly regained some vitality.

However, she still didn't want to leave him for many years. She wanted to have him in her sight at all times.

Gulfstream One takes off from Nanyuan Airport and flies directly to Kai Tak Airport on Hong Kong Island.

It was because of this unexpected incident that we were able to fly so directly after many years. We no longer needed to fly slowly through Hong Kong Island.

Two hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Kai Tak Airport.

At this time, Hua Mengyao had just been shaken awake by her father.

Looking at the high-rise buildings outside the window, she suddenly felt that her eyes were not full.

"Dad, is this Hong Kong Island?"

From the airport to Villa No. 72 in Deep Water Bay, the little guy's eyes were always busy.

However, when she arrived at the villa, she suddenly became nervous.

"Don't worry, your mother is very easy-going, don't be afraid."

In the villa, Qin Huairu and the others had already seen the Rolls-Royce, and they all came out.

On the way back just now, I had called Qin Huairu in advance for many years.

The latter must be mentally prepared, right?

Seeing the cute and well-behaved but nervous and scared Hua Mengyao, Qin Huairu finally felt relieved despite her worries.

But soon, she felt infinite love and affection: This child is in too much pain.

Hua Mengyao's arrival surprised everyone.

Although everyone has heard the explanation for many years, he is a poor child brought back from Tangshan.

But Lao Xu still called him to the small room and asked him again, what was the specific situation?
Lao Xu was worried that Lao Wu had done something wrong to Qin Huairu, so he secretly brought a wild child back.

When the time comes, the family will not be in a state of chaos, right?

Among his five sons, none is a playboy.

"Dad, you don't believe what I said?"

After hearing this for many years, he suddenly asked angrily:

"Although I know this and it surprises you all, you still don't believe what I said, right?"

"Lao Yu and Captain Zhao are all aware of this matter. In a few days, when you return to the capital, you will know what the situation is."

"I don't dare to fake it, and I can't fake it."

Before he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door.

Opening the door, Qin Huairu pointed helplessly at Hua Mengyao who was following her.

The little guy was crying fiercely at this time, like an abandoned little animal, pitiful, trembling all over, and without any sense of security.

When she cried like this, Xu Yi, who was not far away, also started crying.

Because Xu Yi felt that someone was going to steal her father from her.

Qin Huairu could still coax Xu Yi, but she couldn't coax Hua Mengyao.

For many years, he had no choice but to end the conversation with his father early.

What's more, he has a clear conscience about this matter!
With Hua Mengyao joining this big family, the atmosphere at home has become slightly different.

In the evening, after dinner, it was time to sleep in separate rooms.

Hua Mengyao already knew a lot of things, but she still didn't want to be separated from Duan Nian.

In the past few days, she had slept with many years.

Tonight was no exception.

Qin Huairu suddenly felt a little unhappy.

But when he saw the little guy's pitiful expression, his unhappiness disappeared instantly.

"Come on, mommy will take you to bed, okay?"

However, Hua Mengyao looked over at Many Years.

This sticky feeling seems to have not passed yet.

In fact, that's right. She had just suffered such a big family change and came to a strange place. It was normal for her to be unable to get used to it for a while.

There was nothing I could do. After many years, I personally took her back to the master bedroom to sleep.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yi pursed her lips, hugged her doll, and followed her to the master bedroom.

"Why are you following?"

"Dad, I'm scared too!"

Seeing the pitiful expression on Xu Yi's face, I couldn't laugh or cry at all.

She is seven years old and she is still jealous?

Forget it, two sheep are also being driven, so let’s go together.

However, the big bed in the master bedroom will definitely not be able to sleep four people.

After all, it was an agarwood dragon bed, not an ordinary thing.

It is definitely more than enough to sleep two adults.

But if you add two more little ones, it can barely sleep, but it may be a bit crowded.

Didn't like this for many years.

So, let’s lay the floor together.

There was nothing to say all night, and in the blink of an eye it was already the next day.

After Hua Mengyao woke up, she began to arrange things for many years.

In the next few days, I will take her shopping and let her get acquainted with Qin Huairu, Xiaodou Bao and the others as much as possible.

Especially Qin Huairu, he must be closer to her. He doesn't want Hua Mengyao to pester him for many years.

Otherwise, wouldn't he have to take her with him wherever he wanted to go?

Fortunately, Lao Xu, Zhou Hongmei and others were all here, so when we went shopping, it was quite fun to be together as a family.

In less than a week, Hua Mengyao finally integrated into this big family.

Even the little guy Xu Yi slowly accepted this sister.

And he also took Hua Mengyao to sleep in her own small room.

There are two bedrooms on the first floor, which were originally the rooms of Xiaomei and Xiaoqian.

After Xiaomei and the others moved out, these two rooms became guest rooms.

Later, when Xu Yi grew up, one of the rooms became her room.

So, the two of them slept on the first floor.

It was also on this night that Qin Huairu bit his shoulder when he had been pestering him for many years to do fill-in-the-blank questions.

"I want to have another child, you have to help me!"

The latter didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I really didn't know if Hua Mengyao had irritated her, or if she was listening to someone else fanning the flames.

"Okay, okay, give birth, I don't care."

He said it perfunctorily for many years, but he made up his mind that he could not do it again.

Even without Hua Mengyao, there are already seven children in the family.

And Xiaodoubao and the others are already 17 years old, why are they still having children?
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is mid-to-late August, and Lao Xu and the others are returning to the capital.

In fact, after returning from the capital many years ago, they wanted to go back and have a look.

Mainly because there was an earthquake in the north on July 28th, so the house must have been affected to some extent.

So, they want to go back and have a look.

However, it took many years to persuade them.

After returning to Hong Kong Island, I went to see Huo Jiandong, Huang Ka-shing and others for many years to personally thank them for their previous help.

Yu Guangyuan also followed and participated in this banquet.

For many years, he cooked meals at home and invited Huo Jiandong and others to his home to entertain everyone.

As the official representative, what he said was more convincing.

Huang Jiacheng and the others were a little flattered, and only then did they understand their status on the mainland for many years.

It’s really not that high!

Of course, although Huang Jiacheng and the others were not particularly clear about the sacrifices they had made over the years, he went to the front line himself.

Yu Guangyuan said that after helping for several days, his fingers were cut and there were several scars on his body.

If it were Huang Jiacheng and the others, they really couldn't do it!
The banquet was very simple. Apart from thanking you, if you just mentioned something, the mainland would remember everyone's kindness.

On this day in mid-to-late August, many years ago also returned to the capital.

Xiaodoubao and the others stayed at home, and Qin Huairu also took Xu Yi and Hua Mengyao back to the capital.

The children have grown up and have their own space and living habits. I believe they can handle their own lives for many years.

So I feel safe leaving my home to them.

The main reason is that he has known for many years that he will definitely not be able to return to Hong Kong Island before the children start school.

That's why they were not allowed to follow him back to the capital.

After arriving in the capital, he went straight to Wenjin Street and came to the Health Bureau to discuss treatment with everyone.

His master, Zhang Mingde, has basically lived in Beihe Hutong for the past six months and comes to the Health Bureau to work every day.

As time entered September, another sad thing happened.

I stood in front of the hospital bed for many years, speechless for a long time.

There are some things that even if he wants to cheat, he can't do it.

Ugh!
In late September, many years later, I took Qin Huairu and the others back to Hong Kong Island.This time, his master Zhang Mingde also returned to Hong Kong Island.

On Hong Kong Island, Hot Wheels also has to learn medical skills, and there are also small bean buns and small dumplings, so he has to keep a close eye on them.

The inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine must be passed on to these three children. It must not be possible to cause the extinction of traditional Chinese medicine because of Western medicine.

The old man’s greatest wish in this life is to pass on traditional Chinese medicine.

[-], this very bad year, is slowly passing.

As we enter the end of the year and focus on performance, various companies in Hong Kong are carrying out more marketing activities.

Even the movie theaters have a lot more movies.

Bruce Lee's new movie, Strikes Again.

On this day at the end of December, I took Hua Mengyao to the immigration office and changed her name.

After all, she lives with herself. In order to avoid future troubles, it would be better to change her surname to Xu.

From then on, her name was Xu Mengyao.

Nowadays, she also follows her sister Xu Yi, studying, exercising, etc. together every day.

At the beginning, Xiaodoubao and the others had practiced martial arts, boxing, studies, etc., and they also had it.

There is no use crying, it must be done.

Just like Brother Jing and Feng Huolun, these two children seem to have little potential, but it also depends on who they are compared with.

If compared to their eldest brother, that's true.

But if compared with peers, there is really no comparison. The two brothers must be better.

After changing her name, the smile on Xu Mengyao's face was obviously bigger.

Although the happy time of the first half year was not enough to completely wash away her sadness, it also diluted a lot.

It's just that she was happy, but every night, for many years, she was a little unhappy.

Because Qin Huairu still kept pestering him: Why is there still no movement in her stomach?
Cheated her again!

So, for several days in a row, I was sulking with him.

Xiaodoubao and the others also hurried home, fearing that their parents would quarrel.

But Qin Huairu would not tell the children about having children for many years.

It's not that they are afraid that they will have other ideas if they find out, but they are too shy to say anything.

In such an atmosphere, New Year's Eve arrives as scheduled.

This year's fireworks show on Hong Kong Island is even better than in previous years.

Infinite TV stations directly broadcast this grand event, and several camera lenses were in the best positions to capture these beautiful pictures.

However, the ratings were somewhat miserable.

Because everyone can see the fireworks at the fireworks show.

That is to say, suburban residents in the New Territories, Tuen Mun and other places will watch this party by watching TV programs.

In a big city with a population of more than 800 million, it is certainly impossible for everyone to watch the fireworks.

After New Year's Eve, Huo Jiandong and others met together to hold a shareholders' meeting.

After several years of development, Huimin Supermarket's performance has been very outstanding.

Although we experienced a lot of pressure from competitors during this period, they were all resolved one by one.

Bald Eagle This continent is, after all, a land that advocates freedom.

Laws and customs vary from state to state, so wherever Huimin Supermarket goes, it always visits the pier.

Not only do we have to deal with the local governors, but also the people on Capitol Hill.

It is precisely because of this that Huimin Supermarket swept away all dissatisfaction in the local area with its overwhelming attitude.

Nowadays, there are more than 400 supermarkets in Bald Eagle mainland alone.

This is not an impressive figure in terms of quantity, but also a crushing performance in terms of quality.

Every supermarket is doing very well in terms of revenue and profitability.

In fact, for every additional supermarket, operating costs will not increase by much, but profits will increase a lot.

"Starting next year, our main market will be Europe."

Sitting in the main seat for many years, listening to Yang Jun's speech, I was filled with emotion.

They say times make heroes, and this is true.

If he hadn't called Yang Jun from the capital to Hong Kong Island, how could Mr. Yang be here today?

Over the years, Yang Jun started from a seafood company, then to a FamilyMart convenience store, and now to Huimin Supermarket.

Along the way, he himself has grown rapidly.

In the past, he didn't even know the 26 English letters.

Nowadays, I can speak fluent and standard English. This is how the environment changes people and the times create heroes.

When it was time for Wu Hao to speak, he, like Yang Jun, was now the general manager of FamilyMart.

Huimin Supermarket is still conquering cities in Europe and the United States, and has not yet entered the Southeast Asian market on a large scale.

I just built a few stores in some big cities, operated them slowly, and collected market information.

Wait for the time to mature before launching a massive attack.

Huo Jiandong, Bao Yugang, Huang Jiacheng and others who attended the meeting were all overjoyed.

The initial investment was really worth it.

But today’s Huimin Supermarket has a scale of over [-] billion US dollars.

If we work harder next year, maybe the year after, or the year after, we can break through 200 billion US dollars.

Converted into Hong Kong dollars, wouldn’t it be worth hundreds of billions?

This is hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the 70s, so the value shouldn’t be too high.

The meeting ended quickly and everyone dispersed.

The year [-] has completely become history, and a new chapter has begun.

During the Spring Festival of [-], the whole family returned to the capital for many years, but nothing happened.

It passed quietly, and the cold wind ended completely.

But today's capital is still dark before dawn, and I haven't planned to move back to the capital immediately for many years.

In April, Tomb-Sweeping Day arrives as scheduled.

On the [-]st, after many years, Qin Huairu and the others were taken out together as a family, and they all returned to Beihe Hutong.

Instead of rushing to worship the ancestors, he continued to take the plane and flew back to the south with Lao Xu, Zhou Hongmei, and the eldest brother and their brothers.

The reason why we go through so much trouble is that there is nothing we can do about it.

As the leader here, Kang Shiqing personally led the team to escort Duan Nian's family to Lao Xu's hometown.

The provincial leaders came, and the city and county leaders were all alarmed.

Finally, on a small mountain road, the number of cars reached an astonishing 57.

There are ten large trucks alone.

The mountain road is rugged and it is really difficult to reach the destination.

It took two days, and I still haven’t seen the shadow of my hometown. It was too hard.

"Lao Kang, I may have to trouble you with something in the future."

"Lao Xu, tell me."

Kang Shiqing said respectfully, but he didn't realize that the corner of his mouth had been twitching for many years.

He is only 40 years old and he has become Lao Xu?

"I plan to spend 100 billion Hong Kong dollars to invest in the construction of a highway, a cement asphalt road from Baiyun City to our hometown."

hiss!
People in Kang Shiqing were dumbfounded when they heard about many years of generosity.

The eyes of the security guard driving the car and the security guard on the co-pilot's side suddenly trembled: So rich?
Working as guards next to Kang Shiqing, two guards should not be too aware of the purchasing power of 100 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Although it is only worth about 50 billion yuan, it is definitely not small.

For them, this is an astronomical figure.

"Old Xu, can you still afford so much money?"

After Kang Shiqing came to his senses, he couldn't help but ask.

Many years shook his head:

"Lao Kang, you can't look at economic issues simply. I said that if you spend 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, there will be no problem."

"It's just that it's certainly impossible for all of the 100 billion Hong Kong dollars to be money."

"Moreover, it takes at least three or four years to build a road? Or even five or six years to complete it?"

"Now the world has changed. We will definitely develop the economy in the future. Old Kang, don't blame me for talking too much."

"There is nothing wrong with it being better for ordinary people, but it must be done in the right way."

"Why do we need to develop the economy? Naturally, we hope that everyone can have enough food and clothing, children can go to school, and travel is convenient."

"Building roads can make you rich and can promote the development of surrounding economies. You must be aware of this, right?"

Along the way, we talked a lot over the years.

He valued and liked Kang Shiqing, his old friend, very much.

The other party respects him very much. This is not only the relationship established before, but also because the two parties have cooperated many times, which is a very strong relationship of interest.

It can be said that without many years, it would have been impossible for Kang Shiqing to assume his current leadership position so quickly.

Three days later, many years later, the group finally arrived at their destination.

Xishui Village is located in Jiangbei Town, a small fishing village on the riverside.

The small fishing village is very backward, with only about 20 households in total, a proper small village.

The arrival of a group of people many years ago shocked Xishui Village and nearby small villages.

Too many people!

There are too many cars.

Xiaodoubao and the others looked at it with wide eyes. Is this the place where grandpa and father stayed?

At this time, the advantage of good health is revealed.

Lao Xu and Zhou Hongmei held on and did not complain about being tired.

But even after staying in the car for more than three days, Xiaodoubao and the others were not affected at all. After getting off the car, they were still lively and energetic.

Even the little guy Xu Mengyao seems to be in good spirits.

"Eighth uncle?"

Lao Xu's face was full of excitement. He was walking at the front and saw an old man with white hair in front of him. He couldn't help but ask tentatively.

"who are you?"

The white-haired old man was a little confused. He looked familiar, but he couldn't pronounce his name.

"Eighth uncle, it's me, Agen!"

At this moment, Lao Xu was already in tears.

After more than 30 years, I finally returned to my hometown again.

Fortunately, as soon as I entered the village, I saw the familiar friend from back then.

The eighth uncle was obviously stunned, and then he became slightly excited: "Are you A Gen?"

Xu Shugen, who is in his 70s, and his eighth uncle, who is almost 80 years old, although there is a generation gap between them, they can indeed be regarded as peers.

The village is not big, with only about 20 households.

In such a small village, it is normal for there to be few children, so it is not unusual for them to be able to play together even though they are seven or eight years apart.

There are not many elderly people in Xishui Village. Apart from the eighth uncle, there are four other elderly people.

More are young people and children.

Although there are only about 20 families, basically each family has at least four or five children, and there are also about seven or eight families with seven or eight children.

Therefore, at this moment, there are three to forty people who have been watching this group of people for many years.

I found Xishui Village and met my eighth uncle, who has been a family for many years. I have completed the mission of tracing my roots and ancestors.

Of course, the next thing is not finished yet.

Next to the village, the family has camped for many years.

Then notify the county town that they can seize the time to send some cement bricks and the like to complete the repair work of the ancestral hall first.

Tomorrow is the Qingming Festival, let’s finish the ancestor worship first.

The ancestral hall has not been repaired for many years, and less than half of the tiles are broken.

Located in the south, where there are heavy rains all year round and accompanied by tornadoes, it is normal for the ancestral hall to become what it is today.

In addition to the roof needing repair, the pool in the ancestral hall is also made of yellow mud.

Because there is a spring in the pool, and this spring will erupt during the heavy rain season every spring and summer.

A large amount of yellow mud water is sprayed out, and the water can flow away, but the yellow mud left behind accumulates in the pool and nearby.

These need to be cleared and repaired.

Fortunately, there were many people accompanying us, and with the help of many years of family members and the villagers of Xishui Village, this was completed in less than half a day.

The three children, Xiao Bu Dian, Jing Geer and Hot Wheels, also contributed a lot.

On the contrary, Xu Danian, the elder, was scolded several times by Lao Xu for his cheating.

In the blink of an eye, the next day, here at the ancestral hall, an ancestor worship ceremony was underway.

The sacrifices were roasted suckling pigs, big roosters, etc., as well as apples, candies, and the like.

The villagers in Xishui Village had no feelings about ancestor worship. Instead, they stared at these sacrifices and kept swallowing their saliva.

They couldn't remember when they had seen so much meat, it was so tempting.

Obviously Xishui Village is very poor, but the poorer the place, the more children there are.

This is very strange.

"Mom, they are so pitiful."

Xu Yi, a little guy, couldn't help but feel unbearable when he saw that the children in Xishui Village had no shoes to wear and their little faces were dirty.

"If I had known better, I would have brought my old shoes over to them."

Qin Huairu smiled softly, touched her little head, and said softly:
"Don't worry, your father will definitely handle this matter. You don't have to worry about it."

As Lao Xu’s hometown, I will definitely not stand by for many years.

I haven't had much contact with these villagers before, but as long as they are not stupid, they know what to do.

The matter of worshiping at the ancestral hall has been completed.

The next step is to find the graves of the ancestors, then clean up the weeds, and then continue to worship.

The ancestral temple culture in the south is very prosperous and emphasizes the pursuit of roots and ancestors.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many overseas Chinese returned to southern areas such as Baiyun City from Nanyang and other places in search of their ancestral homeland.

In contrast, in the north, these things are rarely heard of.

No one had cleaned it for more than 30 years. Looking at the large trees as thick as bowls that had grown on the grave, Lao Xu burst into tears.

This is his old mother's grave, and not far away is his old father's grave.

"My son is not filial!"

Lao Xu knelt in front of the grave, crying very sadly.

Jiannian gave Xiaodoubao and Xiaotuanzi a look and asked them to help Lao Xu.

As he gets older, he can no longer bear such great tragedy.

Next, the brothers began to clear the weeds and trees from the tomb. The three younger brothers also wielded sickles and hoes and worked very hard.

This is the tradition of Qingming Festival.

Looking at the children who are already 1.7 meters tall, I have been filled with joy for many years.

It feels more or less familiar.

After cleaning the tomb, the entire tomb was revealed.

In fact, it is a tomb made of stones, but the stones have long been scattered on the ground and turned into small earthen bags.

Lao Xu broke away from Xiaodou Bao and the others again, and then built the tomb himself.

Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that he had such skills.

After working for a long time, the tomb returned to about eighty percent of its original appearance.

Set off firecrackers, sprinkle paper money, light red candles, place sacrifices, and then start worshiping ancestors.

After a set of procedures, everyone is already very tired.

"Lao Wu, you go back, I will stay here. Remember to ask people to bring bricks and cement. I will keep an eye on them to help them repair the tombs of your grandparents."

After it was over, Lao Xu wanted to stay in Xishui Village and not leave.

I haven’t agreed for many years, how can this be allowed?
Although he could understand that the old man had not returned for many years and wanted to spend more time in Xishui Village to make up for the past.

After all, it is only in front of his parents' graves that Lao Xu is the child he was before.

But Lao Xu is over 70 years old, and he can't be trusted to stay here alone for many years.

However, Lao Xu, who had always been obedient, was extremely stubborn this time and was unwilling to leave.

Zhou Hongmei couldn't do anything to him, let alone others.

Seeing this, after pondering for many years, he said:
"In that case, let me stay with you. Mom, do you want to stay or go back to Hong Kong Island with Xiaoru and the others?"

Fulfilling filial piety cannot be just words, it has to be seen in concrete actions.

"I'll stay too." Zhou Hongmei said helplessly.

Why would she go back to Hong Kong Island alone?

I must stay with Lao Xu. After so many years, they have never been separated.

Now that we are getting older, once we separate, it is very likely that we will be separated forever.

Because in these seventy years, no one can guarantee which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident.

In this era, it is not very common for elderly people to live to be 80 or [-] years old.

At this time, the average life expectancy in the mainland has improved a lot, but it is only about 65 years old, which is not very high.

Last year, several leaders passed away, and they were all in their 80s and [-]s.

Zhou Hongmei didn't think that ordinary people like them would live longer than the leaders of Wenjin Street.

Since the two old men stayed, the matter was settled.

Qin Huairu took the child back to Hong Kong Island, and Kang Shiqing also left with him.

I only stayed here for many years and kept in touch with the leaders of the county and city from time to time.

In fact, city leaders often come to Xishui Village.

Also coming with them were excavators, bulldozers, loading and unloading trucks, etc. mobilized from Baiyun City.

As well as many engineering technicians, and even top students who obviously came from Hong Kong Island.

Planning and construction of a road from Xishui Village directly to Baiyun City has begun.

Since it is a highway, land acquisition is definitely required.

Moreover, for many years, the plan from the beginning was to build a two-way four-lane road in one step.

An investment of 100 billion Hong Kong dollars may not be enough. We can only confirm it while building it to see how much money is needed, and then add more at any time.

The whole journey from Baiyun City to Xishui Village is nearly two hundred kilometers.

With such a spacious road, perhaps in the 80s, money was too much to burn, but at the end of the 80s, this would never be the case. (End of chapter)
