Ordinary countryside reborn

After chatting for a while, the food was finally served.

Fang Mingjun and the other three were invited by Tianyuan, and Tianyuan naturally sat at the same table with them. Only the three of them were strangers to the other villagers in Wushan Village.

After three dishes were served, an elder at the same table began to enthusiastically ask everyone to eat, and picked up his chopsticks.

You can't be reserved when eating at a banquet in the village. In order to take good care of Fang Yue, Tian Yuan has been serving her food.

After the banquet, everyone in the village left, leaving only some relatives and friends gathered together to talk, and the people hired to help in the kitchen were tidying up. Wang Li and Tian Jing were squatting on the steps washing dishes. Their hands and feet were quick. They washed the bowls one after another in the iron basin and stacked them on the ground, waiting to be rinsed again later.

Tian Yu was assigned to sweep the floor. The ground was a mess, with a lot of food residue and garbage. Tian Zhi was cleaning up the garbage on the table. He had to clean the borrowed tables, chairs and benches before sending them back in person.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Please bring some of these dishes back. There are too many and we can't finish them. They will go rancid tomorrow."

Li Mei distributed the leftovers to the people who helped and prepared red envelopes. Wang Li took the lead in receiving the red envelopes, her red face blooming with joy and her eyebrows turning into a crescent moon.

"You are too polite. They are all from neighbors. I will keep this red envelope. I have to be happy and wait for our family Fangfang to be admitted to university in the future."

Wang Fangjun also accepted the red envelope and said jokingly: "Your Tian family has two college students this time. It may be that the ancestral grave has cracked. I wish these descendants will prosper."

People around him all agreed, "It's time to go to the ancestral graves and take a look. If it's true, we should also burn some incense sticks and some paper money."

As he spoke, the topic took a turn.

Within a few days, this theory gradually spread in the village. The villagers in Wushan Village swore firmly and unanimously believed that the ancestors of the Tian family had appeared. Tian Zhi's family has undergone a lot of changes in the past few years, and now there are two college students from the same family. What else can this be but the appearance of the ancestors!

……

The next day.

Tian Yuan and Tian Xiao stood in front of their grandma's grave together.

This place was originally just an earthen tomb. Later, when the family gained income, Tian Zhi sealed the surface of the original earthen tomb with a layer of cement.

Now, everyone can see that a thin crack has opened above the cement, and a weed has stubbornly come out of the crack.

It held its head high and faced the light, looking so strong and vital.

Under the sunlight, Tianyuan squinted his eyes and looked at this gap.

It may be caused by temperature changes, the ratio of cement and sand is wrong, or the quality of the cement is not good, because the general shelf life of cement is three months, and the strength of cement after the shelf life will become worse and worse.

In short, this result makes everyone more convinced that because of the blessing of their ancestors, they were admitted to college.

Li Mei placed the offerings she had brought, and Tian Zhi lit incense and candles.

Tian Dafu, who came with him, plopped down on his knees in front of the grave, slapped himself twice, and cried out about his unfilial piety.

Tian Bing stood beside him without stopping him, and retracted his hand sarcastically.

Tian Zhi took a look and silently took out the money paper and lit it. The orange-red flame reflected on his silent face. The paper money turned into ashes in the fire and drifted gently in the wind.

The air was filled with the smell of burning paper money. Everyone lowered their heads and silently stared at the flames. The expressions on their faces were complicated and difficult to distinguish, including sadness and hope for the future. Tian Dafu lay on the ground crying, and a few birds chirping occasionally came from the woods, adding to the desolation.

Li Mei was a little impatient.

"Dad, today I am mainly bringing Yuanyuan and Xiaoxiao to see their grandma, and some of your words are not suitable for us juniors to hear. You should save it for next time and talk more slowly."

Tian Bing glared at Li Mei. He glanced around, but after all, he had some scruples and did not speak. He looked at Tian Dafu and waited for him to speak.

Tian Zhi frowned slightly, fearing that there would be another quarrel. This kind of occasion was not suitable for quarreling.

He quickly advised: "Dad, it's better to wait until Yuanyuan pays homage to her grandma and completes her business, then you can stay and talk slowly."

"Yep!"

As if waking up from a dream, Tian Dafu raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears. He turned around and saw Tian Yuan and Tian Xiao standing behind him. His wrinkled face was filled with a kind smile, and his gentle eyes conveyed deep love. .

Just like a normal kind and kind grandfather.

He waved to the two of them, "Yuanyuan, Xiaoxiao, you two come here and let grandma's spirit in heaven bless you to succeed in your studies and to bless our family's prosperity."

Li Mei: "..."

Old guy, why are you pretending to be a good person at this time?

The two children have grown up so much. He will not think that they are still young and have no memory. As long as he is good to them from now on, they will respect him as their grandfather and forget everything he did in the past. Clean and tidy?

wishful thinking!

Li Mei glanced at Tian Zhi.

Tian Zhi looked at the three ancestors and grandson who were worshiping with a smile, let out a long sigh of relief, and then smiled as if he was relieved.

Li Mei rolled her eyes. It seemed that this "honest man" really didn't care about the things Tian Dafu had done before, and now he was probably starting to fantasize about the harmony of his whole family.

When going down the mountain, Li Mei pulled Tian Yuan behind and looked at the three people in front of them who were acting as a father and son and Tian Xiao who was not far away. She whispered: "Look at your dad, he has only lived a relaxed life for a few years. I forget how the hard days came about before.”

"He really thought your grandpa had changed his ways. If you hadn't been admitted to college, your grandpa would still be like this. If your dad hadn't said no to inviting him to the banquet yesterday, he would have been gossiped by the villagers, fearing that it would affect your ability to go to college. Evaluation, I don’t want to invite him yet.”

Li Mei sighed as she spoke. In fact, she also knew that such a blood relationship could not be broken. She just wanted to be out of sight and out of mind.

Now that his family's life is getting better and better, Tian Dafu certainly wants to ease the relationship. If their family was still living the life of not having enough to eat, I'm afraid he wouldn't even want to see their family.

This man has always been so snobbish!

Seeing Li Mei's gloomy look, Tian Yuan hugged her arm and said comfortingly: "Mom, don't think too much. If anything happens, let dad handle it. If you are really unhappy, just go to school with me." Well. I rented a house next to the school for my office. It has two bedrooms. When you go, you can live with me in the same room."

Li Mei was stunned for a moment, and the depression and entanglement just now disappeared completely in an instant.

She asked: "Is your rent expensive? I forgot to ask you, how is your business doing?"
