Chapter 486 It’s hard to protect yourself
It was obvious that the yard was cleaned regularly; even the soil in the previously built garden looked damp.

The difference is that there were many flowers and plants planted in the garden before, and those flowers and plants are gone, but the land in the garden is not empty. It is all planted with vegetables, including cabbage, rapeseed, and beans that are about thirty or forty centimeters high. The crooked jujube trees are full of half-grown green jujubes. It is a lively scene.

Cui Wenquan walked back and forth in the yard, looking up at the jujube tree, then at the planted vegetables, turning around and around, unable to see enough.

The yard should be taken care of by the old man.

Cui Changjia looked at his father walking around, looking reluctant, and said, "Dad, how about staying at home tonight?"

Cui Wenquan stood under the crooked jujube tree and reached out to touch the trunk. The rough texture of the jujube tree bark hurt his hand.

Cui Wenquan raised his head slightly. There was no point in staying for another night.

Cui Wenquan said silently, "Forget it, I'll go to your uncle's house, and you go to your uncle's house, and when we come back we'll go to the grave and burn some paper and go back."

Cui Changjia looked at his disappointed father and sighed.

Cui Changjia first sent her father to her grandfather's house, talked to the old man and his wife for a few words, and then went to her grandmother's house with the driver Xiao Wang. It was an hour later when she came back.

After entering the old man's yard, I could hear bursts of talking and laughing coming from the house from afar.

When Cui Changjia went in, he saw that there were many people sitting in the old man's house, including the village secretary and several respected elders.

Her father was surrounded by people, and someone poured him tea from time to time. At that moment, it was as if he had returned to the past.

But her father's expression was dull, not as enthusiastic as before.

After Cui Changjia greeted everyone one by one, she was called away by her aunt.

Aunt Cui Changjia pulled her into the inner room, opened the cabinet, rummaged around inside, pulled out a yellowish white handkerchief, and pulled Cui Changjia to sit down beside the bed.

The aunt was over 70 years old, her hair was almost completely white, and she was very frail. She spread out the handkerchief in her palm and said as she unfolded it, "This is something your grandmother left behind. I gave it to your mother the year your grandmother passed away, but she refused to take it."

In fact, when Cui Changjia saw the handkerchief that was so white that it turned yellow, she knew what it was, because she had seen it many times in her grandmother's cabinet.

Every time she went to see him, her grandmother would tap her nose and say, "When our Jia Jia gets married, grandma will give you all these things."

Grandma has many grandchildren. Probably because she grew up in her grandmother's care, she loves her especially well.

The handkerchief was opened, revealing a pair of silver bracelets and several pairs of silver earrings.

Cui Changjia looked at the pile of little things and tears fell like rain.

Seeing these things reminded her of her grandmother, and the winter nights when her grandmother tucked her into bed and hung her cotton-padded clothes next to the stove to keep her warm.
"I heard from your dad that you're married. When your grandma passed away, she said that she would give you these things when you got married," the aunt said, pulling Cui Changjia's hand and stuffing the things into her hand. "I heard from your dad that the person you found is very good. Your uncle and I should have gone to meet him, but we are old and it is difficult for us to go to the town. If you have the chance in the future, bring him back for us to see."

Cui Changjia clutched her handkerchief, lowered her head, and tears fell all over the place.

"Good child, don't cry. Your father has suffered a great disaster this time, but it will all be fine after it passes. Tell your aunt how your elder brother is doing?" The aunt also shed tears. "Your father told me that he was fine, but I didn't believe him. I once had a dream that your elder brother jumped off a building, and he wouldn't respond no matter how I called him."

"My elder brother is fine," Cui Changjia choked up, "but he has scars on his body and face, which hurt and itch when it's cloudy or rainy."

"What a sin God has committed!"

Cui Changjia saw the aunt crying, and worried that she would get sick from crying, so he quickly wiped her tears and said, "Aunt, please don't cry. We have rebuilt the factory. Although we still owe debts, it is much better than the past two years. Aze is doing very well now, and he also did well in the entrance exam to Changle University. Everything will be fine slowly. I will ask them to come back to see you during the Chinese New Year."

"well."

The aunt took Cui Changjia aside and asked him many questions in detail before she felt relieved.

Seeing that it was getting late, Cui Changjia packed up her things and went out. When Cui Changjia went out, Cui Wenquan looked at her.

Cui Changjia said, "Dad, it's almost time, we should go burn paper for grandpa and grandma."

Cui Wenquan then said, "Let's go to the grave first." He stood up as he spoke.

The village party secretary also stood up and said, "Brother Quan, I'll go with you."

"No need, come with me, brother," Cui Wenquan said with a smile, "We haven't been back for two or three years, let's stay at the grave for a while."

The village party secretary said, "Brother, I will set up a table tonight and treat you well."

Cui Wenquan didn't say anything, just smiled.

Before they came, Cui Changjia's mother had prepared the incense, paper money and offerings for worship, so they could use them when they arrived.

Cui Changjia asked the driver to drive and wait on the roadside. She, her father, and her uncle went to burn some paper and kowtow, then left with the driver.

It was already past four in the afternoon when we left, and it would probably be early morning by the time we arrived in the state capital.

When they were almost in town, the village party secretary called Cui Wenquan.

"Brother Quan, why did you leave? You finally come back, I have to treat you well."

Cui Wenquan said, "I have a lot of things to do at home, so I won't stay here for now. I'll stay a few more days next time I come."

"Brother Quan, you have to pay attention to what I told you. I'm almost fifty. If I can be transferred to the town, I can bring some good policies to our village. Don't you think so?"

"Xiangzi, I am embarrassed to say this in front of others. Look at my current situation. Who in this town is willing to give me face?"

"Brother Quan, I don't ask for a high position, any department is fine. At the very least, I can get a pension in the future, don't you think?"

"Xiangzi, I can't even protect myself, you should ask others to see if there is any way."

The village party secretary didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, he said, "Okay, Brother Quan, be careful on the road. When you come back, we will continue the conversation."

"it is good."

The village party secretary hung up the phone first.

Cui Wenquan turned off his cell phone immediately.

Cui Changjia showed her father the things her aunt had given her of her grandmother, "Dad, look at my grandmother's bracelets and earrings, do you remember them?"

Cui Wenquan took it and smiled, "Your aunt gave it to you."

"Yes, grandma told me before that Changle and I would split it in half when we get back."

Cui Wenquan knew that his daughter didn’t lack these things now, but these things were just souvenirs.

"Keep it. It's all just a thought. Your aunt wants to give you some dowry money. Your eldest cousin already has grandchildren. It's a heavy burden. Your grandparents don't have any money either, so I didn't take it."

"That's right. I don't need money. Dad, don't worry about these things at home."

My dears, the update is complete. Good night.
