Live again: the pig who is the outlet

Chapter 187 Grandma Refuses to Go to Shanghai
In fact, the 100 million yuan they brought was barely enough to repay the debts and the interest agreed upon by Cheng Qian's father when he borrowed the money.

The reason why nearly 7 yuan was left over also gave Meng Qingshan a taste of the people's work style here.

Those creditors who have developed well, I heard that it was Cheng Qian's husband's family who paid back the money.

After calculating the amount of money to be repaid, just take the whole number directly, for 32 to 30, only 26, and for more than 25, only [-].

In their words, this money can be as much as Lao Cheng repays.

Now it's Cheng Yatou who pays back, even if she has money now, we elders have to leave some money for the children to buy clothes, and we can't take it all away.

As a southerner, Meng Qingshan also has a new understanding of how northerners handle things.

Strictly speaking, this is the Central Plains, not the North.

But maybe this place belongs to the mountainous area, the way people here handle things is very bold and unrestrained.

Just like when the Cheng family couldn't pay back the money before, those creditors encountered difficulties, even if they thought of a way, they would not easily go to the Cheng family to ask for money.

Although the main reason is that they all know that even if they ask for it, the Cheng family won't be able to get it.

This style of knowing that others are already on a cliff, as long as you don't reach that desperate situation, try not to embarrass others.

There is indeed that kind. When I lent you the money, I thought that you might not be able to pay it back. You really can’t pay it back.

Not to mention, it makes sense that Grandma Cheng must pay off the debt before the year.

This New Year's Eve family has a really happy time.

The mountains that had weighed on my heart for several years were moved away, and the entire Cheng family became lively again.

Although those debts were not owed by Cheng Qian's uncle and uncle, the debts owed by their brothers belonged to Cheng, and they had been under a lot of pressure over the years.

Now that Cheng Qian came back and paid off all the debts, everyone in the Cheng family really felt relieved.

Grandma Cheng was the happiest. When the children and grandchildren of Chu's family came to pay her New Year's greetings, they announced on the spot that before Meng Qingshan and Cheng Qian left, the ceremony of marrying their daughter would be held in their village.

In fact, it was to hold a banquet in the village to let everyone know that Cheng Qian was married to Meng Qingshan.

Regarding the wedding, Meng Qingshan felt that there was no problem, she would marry Cheng Qian after all, the old lady thought about her wish, so she could do as she wished.

As for Cheng Qian who had long regarded herself as Meng Qingshan's daughter-in-law, grandma decided to hold the wedding according to the customs of her hometown.

Anyway, I have already, more than half of my peers in the village have already been engaged, and many of them have already held their weddings.

After discussing with the family, there were too few things to prepare for the New Year, and the door would not be opened until the fifth day of the new year when people were doing business.

According to the folklore, you can only go out for a long trip after the fifth day, and the business will not open.

Thinking about the fifth and sixth day, even if the sellers of vegetables and meat are open, it is difficult to get together a large amount of meat, vegetables, tobacco and alcohol at once.

It was decided that after the fifth day of the first lunar month, I would go to contact all kinds of things I needed, and I would go home before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and hold a wedding ceremony for Cheng Qian and Meng Qingshan on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

The old lady now has more than 4 yuan and less than 5 yuan left by Meng Qingshan and Cheng Qian, and she is determined not to let Meng Qingshan and Cheng Qian take any more money.

Grandma Cheng insisted that her old Cheng family should not ask Meng Qingshan to pay for her daughter's marriage. Moreover, in today's rural areas, a banquet can be done properly for only 2000 yuan.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Grandma Cheng took Meng Qingshan and Cheng Qian to the mountain early in the morning to fulfill her wish.

He said that they didn't let others know about the two of them at the beginning. It was a ceremony for them at the statue on the mountain. Now when they come back, they have to go to burn incense and pay their vows.

Now that grandma had said it, Meng Qingshan and Cheng Qian carried the tribute prepared by Grandma Cheng and followed the old lady up the mountain again to the temple.

To make a good offering to the gods, Grandma Cheng still went to kowtow first and muttered something, but she didn't know what to say to the gods.

Afterwards, Meng Qingshan and Cheng Qian followed grandma's instructions and meticulously kowtowed and bowed nine times.

After worshiping the gods, the three of them took a short rest, ate some dry food they brought, and then went down the mountain to go home.

After returning to her hometown for a few days, Cheng Qian may have gradually recovered her previous lively appearance because she had paid off her father's previous debts and lost her previous knots.

After worshiping the mountains with grandma on the sixth day of the sixth day, they dragged Meng Qingshan around to play.

In the past few days, Meng Qingshan followed Cheng Qian to several nearby hills. He was a little tired, but it really gave him a lot of insight.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Meng Qingshan would never have imagined that there are still several sections of the ancient Great Wall beside the Taihang Mountain in northern Henan!
Although these ancient Great Walls have collapsed and only the foundations are left, they are built on the top of the hill, and they are five or six meters wide and stretch for several miles like a city wall.

It can still be seen at first glance that it is the ruins of the ancient Great Wall built at an unknown time.

According to Cheng Qian, such sections of the ancient Great Wall ruins are located here along the distance of tens of miles from south to north along the Taihang Mountains.

You can see the ruins of the ancient Great Wall for several miles. It should be the country that ruled here in ancient times and wanted to build the Great Wall.

But in the end, the country was destroyed before it was completed, leaving only sections of the ancient Great Wall ruins that were not connected.

After looking at the ruins of the Great Wall, Cheng Qian took Meng Qingshan to the nearby hills and found several large stone platforms that had been chiseled slightly flat.

On those stone platforms, many small round pits were chiseled out. The big round pits were the size of a steamer, and the small ones were as thick as a thermos bottle. They were all cylindrical pits with semi-circular arcs at the bottom.

Asking Cheng Qian what these things were dug out for, Cheng Qian said she didn't know either.

Meng Qingshan studied it for a long time, but he didn't understand it. He said it was for food. How could someone go to the top of a mountain hundreds of meters above sea level to do this work.

Isn't it a waste of physical strength to transport the grain up, fix it, and then transport it down?

This place is full of rocky mountains. Wouldn't it be much easier to dig a big rock and transport it back to the village to make tools than to transport grain to the mountain every time?

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. I really can't guess what this thing is for.

After running all over the nearby mountains, Cheng Qian took Meng Qingshan to the market town to look at the ancient buildings.

Although it is remote here, there are really good ancient buildings. There are old buildings on both sides of the road in the entire market town.

Wooden doors and windows, old-fashioned wooden doors that open in opposite directions, the door hinges are still two duck egg-thick wooden axles seated on stone piers on both sides, the kind that will creak when the door is opened and closed.

The tiles on the house are not the red tiles of today, but dark blue tiles that are palm-sized and black from a distance, and are spread on the roof like fish scales.

Walking along the main street of the market town to the end, he actually saw a city gate!
The door opening is not high, Meng Qingshan reckoned that the tallest part was more than three meters high, probably the height of one foot in the ancient measurement unit.

There is a low building on the gate of the city. It is better to say that it is three ordinary houses.
Walking around the city wall for a few steps, I found that the city wall is arc-shaped. It seems that this place can only be regarded as a small town in the past.

However, in ancient times, the places with city walls were all prosperous towns.

In such a remote place, there is a small city with low walls but with gates. What is it for?

Thinking about the ancient Great Wall on the mountain less than twenty miles to the west, Meng Qingshan guessed that it might be an ancient military fortress or something.

It should belong to the pass category of the border area, but the Taihang Mountains are hundreds of miles to the west. Even if someone wants to come from the mountains, they can't send a large army, they can only send a small group of troops.

Unlike other places that are not easily attacked by large armies, a small city gate was built accordingly.

Simply go inside and turn around, the place is really not big, the buildings inside are no different from the houses on both sides of the road outside.

I can't see any buildings like the county office.

On the contrary, once entering the city gate, there was a large open space. There were no buildings near the city gate, and there was an open space like a military field. Meng Qingshan felt that his guess that this was a military pass was correct.

When Cheng Qian was asked when this place was built, the answer she got was that she didn't know, only that the city wall here was circular and not very big, and it was passed down from the population of the old generation, and it was called a circle here.

Hearing the word "circle", Meng Qingshan's first reaction was the famous song of five rings.

Asked if there was a second round, Cheng Qian frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "I've only heard of one round, and I haven't heard from the old people that there are second rounds."

Don't ask if you don't know, anyway, I'm here to play, and I'm not an archaeologist.

Turning around to look at the small town, Cheng Qian dragged Meng Qingshan to a mound a few miles away, and saw a bombed blockhouse with only one floor left.

This blockhouse was built on a small mound tens of meters high. The flat land in front of the blockhouse has been turned into a wheat threshing field by nearby villagers, and there are still two stone rollers for wheat grinding there.

Cheng Qian pointed to the blockhouse in front of her and said to Meng Qingshan that this is the blockhouse built by the devils decades ago.

It is said that many people were sacrificed during the attack here, and the top of the gun tower was destroyed in that battle.

This was the first time Meng Qingshan had seen the Devil's Paolou, so he went in and took a look. The space inside was not big, only a few square meters in size.

The upward stairs are gone, and the top has been blown up, and there is only a square exit leading to the top to see the sky.

Coming out of the blockhouse, Meng Qingshan couldn't help but wonder, this place feels remote now.

It seems that no matter in ancient times or modern times, this place should be a strategic place.

From the fact that there is an ancient pass a few miles away, and the devils also set up gun towers here, we can know that this should have been an important traffic route in the past.

It's a pity that I don't know anything about military affairs. I don't care, I just came here to visit various ruins.

These days, apart from chatting with grandma at home, Meng Qingshan and Cheng Qian were led around by Cheng Qian.

From the village primary school she went to when she was a child, to the primary and secondary schools she transferred to, and all the places that Cheng Qian had a deep impression on, the two of them ran once.

Meng Qingshan once asked Cheng Qian to take him to see the place where she was carrying a sickle and scared the kid who slashed his schoolbag into a deep ditch.

In the end, he got Cheng Qian's two big white eyes and gave him a day of not talking to him.

If Meng Qingshan hadn't had the absolute backing of Grandma Cheng, I really can't say whether Cheng Qian would let him practice the Pingsha Luoyan pose again.

Happy days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the days have come to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

The villagers, relatives and friends who had heard the news a long time ago all came to Cheng's house to drink the wedding wine of Cheng Qian and Meng Qingshan.

These days, everyone only pays ten or five yuan for gifts, and the countryside is full of excitement.

Meng Qingshan and his wife were not short of money, so they didn't care how much everyone gave them.

Being a person in two lifetimes, I know that the most important thing to hold a banquet at Cheng Qian's place is to support the Cheng family.

Face it, who doesn't like it.

This guy is like a fart, following behind Cheng Qian, uncles, aunts, aunts, grandparents, kowtowing like a bug, bowing and saying New Year's greetings everywhere.

Originally, those relatives and friends only thought that Cheng Qian married a child of a rich family.

Later, I heard that Meng Qingshan earned all the money, and I immediately admired the son-in-law in this village.

At a young age of just over 20 years old, he can earn millions of dollars. Such a person is definitely a capable person in the eyes of everyone.

Later, Cheng Qian was overjoyed by her relatives, and told everyone about Meng Qingshan who graduated from Fudan University and stayed there to become a university teacher.

Once the identity of this university teacher is revealed, it will be even more serious.

During this period, whoever gave birth to a college student belonged to the ancestral grave.

Meng Qingshan was not only admitted to a first-class university in China, but also stayed in that top university as a teacher.

In the minds of these people, the identity of this university teacher is more than worth a million RMB.

After all, Cheng Qian's hometown is a mining area. In recent years, not one or two have made a fortune in small coal mines. Everyone has heard of a few who can spend 100 million.

Anyone who was admitted to a school like Fudan University and became a university teacher, everyone has only heard of Meng Qingshan.

Meng Qingshan's reputation in Cheng Qian's hometown rose sharply.

The son-in-law of the Cheng family, as everyone said, has also become a star of Wenqu.

I am too embarrassed to praise Meng Qingshan to chat with them again.

Cheng Qian immediately regretted that she was too embarrassing, and told about the fact that Meng Qingshan is now a teacher at Fudan University.

Because all the relatives and elders in the village, whoever caught her, taught her a lesson earnestly, be more honest in the future, and never do the thing of cutting people with a sickle at every turn.

After training her group of relatives and elders, she even dragged Meng Qingshanqian to tell her ten thousand times that if she was bullied by the big girl, come back and tell us, and we will help you vent your anger and beat this two hundred and five girls.

Cheng Qian was so angry that she really wanted to tell everyone loudly: It is true that this guy is holding the walking stick given by his grandma and bullying himself every day!
After the wedding, Cheng Qian and Meng Qingshan had to go back to Shanghai the next day.

Cheng Qian is already in the third year of high school, and they start school a few days earlier than the first and second year of high school. Although they have asked for leave in advance, they can't delay too long.

Before leaving, Meng Qingshan and Cheng Qian wanted to take Grandma Cheng to Shanghai to live for a while.

Who knew that the old lady refused very firmly, saying that she would not go to live with them in Shanghai.

Cheng Qian begged grandma to stay with her for a few days.

In the end, Grandma Cheng stared: "Damn girl, get the hell out of here!

Do you think I don't know that in the modern capital, people have to be burned when they die?

I can't let you burn my old bones! "

Only then did Meng Qingshan remember that Grandma Cheng believed in Buddhism and believed in the afterlife. She was very afraid that she would not be able to be reborn if she was burned.
