Chapter 60

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when a morning glow rose from the sea level, Xu Haibao also finished his practice for the day and came down from the top of the mountain.As cultivation became a habit, Xu Haibao spent less and less time resting at home at night.

Not long after walking down from the top of the mountain, the quiet fishing village began to be awakened by the sound of firecrackers opening the doors.Many villagers who rested late last night were also awakened by the sound of firecrackers.But many young people still lie on the bed and refuse to get up.

When he returned to his yard, looking at his father who was about to set off firecrackers, Father Xu also said in surprise, "Are you going for a run again?"

"Well! I'm used to it, Dad. If you're sleepy, go and have a rest! Let me set off the firecrackers!"

About going out for a run every morning, my parents were puzzled before, but now they are getting used to it.Although curious about why his son can insist on exercising every day, the parents know to some extent that a healthy body is also very important.

With the opening of Xu Haibao's house and the sound of firecrackers, the sleeping mother and daughter were also awakened.Compared with my mother, I got up soon and planned to prepare breakfast for my family.Xu Qingya, who was sleeping on the second floor, muttered a few words and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.

After all, the family watched the Spring Festival Gala last night and saw the early morning. For Xu Qingya, who rarely went home to enjoy a lazy sleep, she naturally didn't want to get up early.As for breakfast, Xu Qingya really doesn't care much about whether she eats it or not.

On the first day of the new year, people in the village will go to worship their ancestors.Located in the mountains behind the village, there are also many tombstones of the dead.Every year on the first day of the new year and the Qingming Festival, it will become quite lively there.But usually, almost no one goes there.

In that cemetery, there are many graves of the old, sick and dead, and there are also many empty graves that have no bones so far.But even so, after breakfast, Xu Haibao's family began to worship their ancestors with the prepared sacrifices.

Compared with many people in the city, who went to the cemetery to worship their ancestors on the first day of the new year, the fishing village still followed the rules of burial, and even the number of tombstones in that cemetery over the years was astonishing.

After worshiping the ancestors, the villagers started another day of recreation.Only on the first day of the new year, almost no one in the village went out, and most of them stayed in the village.When Xu Haibao came home, Du Yuzhu came to find him not long after.

Of course, the playmate Du Yuzhu was looking for was not Xu Haibao but Xu Qingya.Although there are many young people in the village, they usually go their separate ways. It is rare to go home to find companions to play with, and most of them find acquaintances and good relationships.

Looking at Du Yuzhu who came in, Mother Xu said politely, "Azhu is here, eat some fruit! Are you going to the city to celebrate the New Year tomorrow? When do you and your parents plan to go out?"

Faced with Mama Xu's question, Du Yuzhu took the tea with a smile and said, "I'm going to the city tomorrow. If I go to Haizhou, I guess I'll have to wait until the Lantern Festival is over. My brother got married on the eighth day of the lunar new year, and he's going to serve wine in the city. Go out again."

"Huzi is getting married? I remember, he's only been talking with someone for a while, right?"

"Marrying a son! My parents have been worrying about my brother's marriage. The little money saved at home was used to buy a new house for him. Originally, my father wanted to go back to the village to run wine, but my sister-in-law's family disagreed, so I could only buy a new house for him. We're packing meals in the city!"

While saying these words, Xu Haibao could feel that Du Yuzhu was somewhat dissatisfied with that sister-in-law.But the current world is like this. It is very rare for a fishing villager to marry a daughter-in-law in the city.

Buying a house in the city also means that Du Yuzhu's brother will rarely return to the fishing village in the future.This kind of situation is also very common in the village.For many parents, the desire is to send their children to the city.

Just hearing Du Yuzhu's words, Mama Xu said enviously: "I'm pregnant! Then the wine has to be done! If this is the case, your parents will probably come back alone? After giving birth, someone has to take care of you." Bar?"

"Well, my parents plan to resign when my sister-in-law is about to give birth. Oh, yes, Brother Haibao, I came today to ask about it. Our family also wants to renovate the house. When the time comes, tourists can arrange accommodation ?

Although my parents and I may not be able to stay at home for a short time, my grandpa and grandma are both in the village.If tourists really come into the village, they will charge some accommodation and food expenses, and the two old people will also have some income.Do you think this is okay? "

As young people from various families go home to celebrate the Spring Festival, some people are still optimistic about the village's tourism, while others think it is unreliable.But many young people know that if there are tourists, the village will definitely make money.

Similar to the situation where Du Yuzhu planned to seek some welfare for his family, Xu Haibao also knew that there were many in the village.As for the food and accommodation for tourists, Xu Haibao also didn't dare to guarantee it.What's more, the lack of distribution is also a problem.

Facing Du Yuzhu's inquiry, Xu Haibao also said truthfully: "Azhu, I still support your idea. However, there must not be many tourists who came to the village in the early stage. Even if there are tourists, most of them are probably individual tourists.

As for arranging food and lodging for tourists, I don't care about it, it depends on who the tourists are willing to eat and live in.However, if your family wants to decorate the house to receive tourists, I think it can still be done.

Even if you can't receive tourists for the time being, if the house is renovated, you will be more comfortable to live in when you come back.Worst of all, when your brother brings his sister-in-law back to the village next time, he will have to live in the village for a few days after all.What do you say? "

"Well! I think so too! Every time I come back, I always feel that it is very inconvenient to take a bath. With my sister-in-law's temper, if she sees the house like this, she probably will never want to come here again. She is very delicate. !"

"Only child, it's normal to be a bit delicate! As long as your brother can hold back, it's fine!"

"Cut, as far as my brother is concerned, my daughter-in-law dares not go west at all. Forget it! Let me tell you about this first. If there are more tourists coming to the village in the future, I hope Brother Haibao will take care of my grandparents and them." .”

"This is fine!"

While chatting about these gossips and the village's tourism, Xu's mother suddenly said, "Azhu, have you found someone to talk to?"

"No! I just graduated not long ago, so I'm in the mood to think about it. Why, auntie wants to introduce someone to me?"

Xu Haibao, who was afraid of what his mother would say, said decisively: "Mom, I'll go to my third uncle's house and discuss something with him. Ah Zhu, take your time. If you want a photo, let Xiaoya take it later." Pick some and pass them on to you."

"it is good!"

For her own son who retreated decisively, Xu's mother also seemed very helpless.But as Xu Haibao said, marrying a girl from this village is somewhat sensitive.If one doesn't get along well, the two families are embarrassed.

Fortunately, Xu's mother didn't say much, she just looked at Xu Haibao's fleeing back and said, "I really don't understand what you young people are thinking all day long now. Everyone is old and young, and the matter of the person you are talking about is also important." Hurry up!"

Even if Xu's mother didn't say anything, Du Yuzhu still smiled and said: "Auntie, with Brother Haibao's conditions, if you really want to find someone, I believe it is relatively easy. This kind of thing depends on his own mind, whether it is urgent or not." Not coming."

From Xu Haibao's hasty retreat, Du Yuzhu could somewhat see Xu Haibao's intentions.If Xu Haibao was really interested in her, he probably wouldn't have run so fast.But she didn't even like Xu Haibao.

It can only be said that as far as the current situation is concerned, Du Yuzhu feels that Xu Haibao has a good temperament.If he can really start the tourism business in the village, I believe there will be many girls chasing after him.These days, men don't have careers, so it's really difficult to fall in love.

After chatting with Mama Xu for a while, Du Yuzhu followed Xu Qingya upstairs, and the two girls began to sift through the photos.Du Yuzhu also likes these photos taken by Xu Qingya very much, and thinks these photos are well taken.

Even when she first saw it on the Internet, Du Yuzhu was surprised that it was the scenery of the village and the surrounding islands.Ask Xu Qingya for some photos, and Du Yuzhu also plans to help with online promotion.After all, she is also a member of the village!

Looking at the village that is gradually becoming silent at this moment, Du Yuzhu also hopes that the village will become more and more prosperous.Even if one day in the future, she is likely to marry out of the fishing village.But she hopes that she can still bring her children and her husband back to the village for a period of time every year when she has time.

After all, Du Yuzhu enjoyed the tranquility and peace of the village after staying in the city for a long time.And she also knows that for parents, if they really want to provide for the elderly in the future, they also hope to return to the fishing village to provide for the elderly.

When Xu Haibao walked around the village and didn't come back until dinner time, he also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Du Yuzhu who had left.For him, finding a girl from his village as his wife was somewhat unacceptable psychologically.

Fortunately, the next day, the villagers, including Xu's family, also started to pay New Year's greetings everywhere.And Xu Haibao's family, in order to make it easier for relatives to come to visit the New Year, also chose to go back to the city on the second day of junior high school.

As for the dear aunt, she didn't even have a phone call.Most of the other relatives of the Xu family are in the town and city.If you want to entertain guests and pay New Year's greetings, it will be more convenient to go back to the city.

And leaving the village this time, Xu Haibao also planned to make preparations for going to Xiangjiang.Even if Xiangjiang has been back for many years, if you want to go to Xiangjiang, you need to apply for a pass in advance.

There is one more thing that needs to be prepared, which is to pack the things for auction well.After all, those things that are going to be auctioned are currently soaked in nameless pearls.If you send a photo, it is also necessary to have a beautiful packaging!
