Chapter 168 Discovery of Conscience (Second Update)

In the past few days, Father Peng feels that his life has reached its peak, that his life has reached its climax.

The leaders at all levels in the county treated him politely, his former "business" partners flattered him in every possible way, and his neighbors flattered him unconsciously, all of which made him feel elated.

Once this person is floating, it is easy to do everything. Why help the neighbor's children find a good job, and give the "business" friends a chance to make a fortune!

He also likes to direct blindly, and from time to time he goes to the printing factory to point fingers.

This made Peng's mother very angry, "I'm really blind, I found you, you said you can't do anything, mess up No.1, who are your cronies, don't you know when you are an old lady?

It's all because our family has a little money, and we want to rely on it to get some benefits. If someone flatters you a few words, you will treat yourself as an uncle, but in fact, you are just a stinky piece of shit..."

Peng's mother's complete rage made Peng's father completely dumbfounded, and he never dared to go out and wander around again.

The family stayed in the county for several days before getting into the car and heading towards the village.

"Fenglian, we're here to see you."

Peng Baili's grandma's grave is next to the road into the village, and they worshiped in front of grandma's grave before they entered the village. As for all the worship objects, they had already bought them in the county.

"This is my third grandfather, and this grave is my great-grandfather..."

This time Xia Weiwei also came along, and Peng Baili took her to say hello to some of the surrounding graves. This place can be regarded as the ancestral grave of their family, and many ancestors within the five clothes are buried here.

"Come on, you kowtow to grandma."

As soon as the old man came here, he sat in front of the grave and talked with Grandma Peng Baili. While offering wine, he told them what they had done during this time.

"Your youngest son's son, that is, your grandson, is very promising. Our family is considered to be a native of the capital. The whole family is doing well. Even the older ones who are not very prosperous can live on. It's just that It's not that my old man is unfeeling, it's that these few treat me very coldly.

When I didn't eat it before, they were wary of me, because they were worried that I would take care of their youngest son's family with their things in private, and also support me, a bad old man.

Now, because of Baili, Yaoer's family has prospered, and they swarmed around like flies. My heart is cold, and I don't want to talk to them..."

The old man babbled a lot, and the tears couldn't stop rolling in his eyes. At this time, Father Peng was like an honest child. After kowtowing to the grave a few times, he stood next to the old man and didn't speak.

His affection for his mother has faded a bit. When he was 12 years old, his mother left him, and he has lived with his father since then.

I may not miss my mother very much at ordinary times, but in this situation, I feel emotional. Thinking of those dry hands that were reluctant to part with me before I died, and held my own tightly, my tears couldn't stop streaming down.

Peng Baili did not expect that his father, who is usually carefree, would have such a side. He took the second and third children to start cleaning the grave of grandma, picking up branches when there were branches, picking up mud clods when there were mud, and eradicating weeds when there were weeds. He was very busy. .

"Oh, it hurts."

Seeing this, Xia Weiwei also followed to help, but she had never done farm work before, and was accidentally cut by a weed, which made a small cut.

Seeing it, Peng Baili was very distressed, and quickly took out a bandage in the car to bandage her.

"Everyone says you can't do it, just look at it, does it still hurt?"

Xia Weiwei looked at Peng Baili who was taking care of her wound carefully, and the wound that was still a little painful no longer hurt, and felt that this was another beautiful moment of love.

"Come on, you all kowtow to your grandma."

With the help of Peng's father, the old man stood up and greeted the grandsons and granddaughters-in-law who had already cleaned and played with the tomb.

After each of them kowtowed, the whole family got into the car and drove towards the village.

Peng Baili's second uncle's family took advantage of the good weather today to dig yams in the field. They had to pack them up and go home as soon as possible, otherwise the heavy rain in summer might rot in the field.

"Second Aunt, you are still digging potatoes. Your brother and his family are back, why don't you go and see?"

When Peng Baili's second aunt heard what the Fifth Lord's son's wife said in the next door, she suddenly became restless.

"Xiaofen, is it true? Their family came back from the capital?"

"Yes, they came to the village in a very nice car. All the children in the village surrounded the car. There were three floors inside and three floors outside. They were very proud."

The second aunt couldn't calm down when she heard this, "Ah, the child's father, it seems that we can't work anymore, hurry up and go see your brother."

After speaking, the whole family rushed home.

In fact, not only their family, but everyone in the village came.As soon as Peng Baili's family entered the village, the small village suddenly became excited.

Children in the village like to chase after the car. When they parked the car in their own yard, more than 30 children came at once.

Peng's mother was very happy when she saw it, and took out the candy she had prepared a long time ago, and gave a lot to each of them.

"You are Yi Cai, aren't you?"

"You are the third child of Kanshang Yao's family, aren't you?"

"You are……"

"..."

Then came the uncles and uncles and cousins ​​of the neighbors.

"Jingui, come back! Are you leaving?"

"How is the capital? Can you eat meat every day?"

"Old Pi, why are your eyelids so shallow? People in the capital can only eat meat. I think they must be sleeping with money and living in a building with dozens of floors..."

"..."

Father Peng was not in a good mood at first, but after listening to the words of his uncle and cousins, he instantly revived with full blood.

He told them about his time in the capital, and even showed his birds to them for appreciation.

As for the eldest aunt Liang and the daughter-in-law in the village, the aunts... surrounded Peng's mother and asked questions.

These people seldom go out of the village, even the county seat. If it weren't for some of their men working in the county, they might not have been to the county yet.

The arrival of Peng Baili's family is a big news in the village, which is very rare.

As for the old man, he was also surrounded by a group of old men.

Peng Baili and his two younger brothers gave everyone candy and snacks, and also communicated with their peers one by one, but everyone felt a little inferior to them, and they talked submissively.

Not much to talk about.

The second child and the third child talked to everyone about things in the capital, and everyone was curious but couldn't get in the conversation, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Peng Baili chatted with everyone about the affairs of the village.

"How is Bao Gu in the village this year?"

"It's okay, but there was a strong wind some time ago, and at least half of the corn in the field fell down."

"Is anyone else hungry in the village?"

"No, everyone doesn't expect to make a fortune by farming now. Every household has people working in your factory, and they can live a decent life."

"..."

The villagers heard that they were going to stay for a few days, and they all cut a lot of vegetables from their own vegetable gardens, such as eggplant, beans, coriander, potatoes, etc., and a few pieces of old bacon, all of which are top-quality ingredients. .

It's like this in the countryside. If any new cooking fire is started, they will support it more or less.

Peng's mother originally wanted to give them money, but they all declined. In their words, the home is not worth much.

Seeing them worried that their family would dislike them, Peng Baili felt very unhappy. These things are top-quality ingredients in the city, so what is there to dislike?

This reminded him of a joke on the original space-time website. Poor relatives give the best things to rich relatives, and they are worried that they will be disgusted by them, while rich relatives give poor relatives bad things that they can't use, and it looks like you are taking advantage.

Their family has now become that rich relative, watching their parents give some ordinary gadgets bought in the capital to the uncle in the village.

Peng Baili felt very sorry, and planned to go around the village to find a good project for the villagers, so that everyone's life would be better and better.
