Chapter 919 If there is an old man in the family, what if there is a treasure?

  In the early morning, Liu Qingshan and Li Tie got up and ran slowly up the mountain.

  The two of them sprayed white air from their mouths, and soon a layer of hoarfrost hung on their eyebrows and hats.

  The wilderness is silvery white, and the land is silent, only the sound of creaking and stepping on the snow can be heard.

  But Liu Qingshan knows that all vitality is conceived on the ground under the snow.

  Passing by the ginseng garden, I saw Marshal Zhang leading the guards and tidying up a shed.

   This was damaged by a wild boar coming down from the mountain last night. Fortunately, it was discovered early. Otherwise, the ginseng seedlings in the shed would have been nourished by the wild boar.

  Wild boars have an iron stomach, and they can digest anything, poisonous or not.

  They eat in the forest all year round, and often eat a lot of herbs, so the common people say that wild boar belly is better for treating stomach problems.

  Dashuai Zhang, they were all covered tightly, with dog fur hats on their heads, and big scorpions on their feet, all of them looked like the anti-union fighters in the forest and snow field.

  Liu Qingshan and the others greeted each other and helped to fix the shed before continuing up the mountain.

   "Crossing the forest, crossing the snow field, soaring into the sky..."

  Dashuai Zhang's resonant singing came from behind, exuding a sense of pride.

  When he got to Mukeleng's side, Big Bear saw Liu Qingshan, and ran over rolling and crawling.

  Liu Qingshan stuffed some food into its mouth, looked around, didn't see the female bear, so he patted the bear's head: "Why did you return your wife?"

  Big Bear doesn't care about these things, he eats deliciously.

   It is estimated that the female bear still retains its original habits and has already started to hibernate.

  After the morning exercise was over, the two brothers had breakfast at Woodcut Leng. Liu Qingshan tentatively asked the dumb grandpa:

   "Master, it's still inconvenient to go up the mountain, why don't you just stay at my house?"

  The dumb grandfather held the steamed bun in his hand and paused for a moment, looked at the apprentice peacefully, then continued to eat the steamed bun silently without nodding or shaking his head.

  Liu Qingshan didn't mention this any more, but he already had an arrangement in his heart.

  When he came home after eating, his mother had already prepared things for him and went to visit his father's grave.

  Big head and Er Biaozi also happened to come to him, plus Li Tie, the four of them went together.

  When going out, Xiao Huo and Xiao Yueyue still followed, but Lin Zhi coaxed her back.

  According to rural customs, children who are too young generally do not go to the cemetery.

  Leaving the village, after a stroll, I arrived at the village cemetery in a short while. Under the cover of white snow, there were small white bumps on the ground.

  Come to his father's grave and sweep away the snow in front of him. Liu Qingshan first takes out the red paper and presses it on the grave.

  Big Tou and the others worked together to put out steamed buns, apples and other tributes. Liu Qingshan lit three incense sticks, prayed silently for a while, and then stuck the incense sticks on the snow.

  Big head and the three retreated aside, Liu Qingshan lit the yellow paper, and the flames sprang up, which was particularly eye-catching on the white snow field.

  Liu Qingshan added pieces of yellow paper to the fire, and tears flowed down involuntarily.

  If the father is alive, how good would the family be?

  But there is no if in this world. The dead are gone, and the coming can be chased. This nostalgia should be treasured in the depths of memory forever.

  In life, after all, we still have to look forward.

   After the flames were completely extinguished, Liu Qingshan's mood had also returned to calm, and he also figured out something.

The four   brothers walked back and walked a hundred meters away. Li Tie turned his head suddenly, and the others followed suit, only to see a red figure at the place where they worshiped just now, which was particularly eye-catching.

   "Sanfeng, it can't be your red fox, right?" Er Biaozi asked tremblingly. The villagers still maintain awe of this fox who can only drink.

   "Go back and have a look!" The big head muttered, and was about to run back.

   In the end, Liu Qingshan stopped him: "Yes or no, it doesn't matter anymore. We have to learn to let go of some things."

  Looking at Liu Qingshan leading the way back, Datou and Er Biaozi could only follow, but they were a little confused about what Liu Qingshan said just now.

  Back home, grandma had already prepared the newspapers, mother Lin Zhi had already prepared the paste, and the elder brothers started to paste the walls and sheds.

  They are all rural children. They have been doing this job since they were young.

   There are also Xiaoliuzi who lead Xiaohuo and Xiaoyueyue, and they are also busy. They are basically not helping, and their clothes and little faces are covered with scorpions.

   After pasting the ceiling, and then pasting the walls, this will be done soon, and the whole house will be completely new in just one day.

  Ling Zhi smiled and took out a few New Year pictures, Liu Qingshan was delighted to see them: They were all of fat boys and girls, wearing a little bellyband, very festive.

  After cleaning up the house, grandfather Liu Shikui brought in a new mat and replaced the old one, which made the big civet cat on the top of the kang very dissatisfied, and scratched the mat with its paws.

  Xiao Yueyue went to pull the cat's tail: "Don't make trouble, big flower, big flower."

  The big civet cat raised its paws, turned its head to see Xiao Yueyue, then lowered its paws again. They grew up together and slept in the same bed every day.

  Mother walked around the house: "Sanfeng, there is no wedding photo yet."

  It is not popular to take wedding portraits nowadays, but for such a major life event as marriage, two people still go to a photo studio to take a group photo.

   This Liu Qingshan was really prepared. He rummaged through the luggage he brought back, and then took out a color photo.

  It is the photo of Liu Qingshan and Wu Tong. Liu Qingshan is wearing a Chinese collar, full of energy and majestic; Wu Tong is wearing a red traditional dress, smiling like a flower, gentle as water.

  In the lower right corner of the photo, there is also a small line of "Peking University Photo Studio".

   "That's great." Lin Zhi admired, and then began to look for a frame, and put this big photo into it alone.

   "Okay, just wait for the bride to come in." Er Biaozi yelled with a smile.

  As for furniture and household appliances, I won’t live here for long anyway, so I’ll just use the original ones.

  Lin Zhi cooked a few dishes, and after eating, he saw Grandpa Party Secretary and Da Zhang Luo coming. There were more than a dozen people sitting in a row on the edge of the kang, and the stools were also full.

  Liu Qingshan took out a cigarette, but was snatched by Zhang Pole: "I will help you."

  I distributed it to everyone, and there was still half a box left, which was happily put into my pocket by a stick.

  The old branch secretary doesn’t smoke cigarettes, but puffs on his pouch: “Qingshan, your marriage is a major event in Jiapigou, and we must handle it well.”

  Da Zhang Luo even took out a notebook and a pencil head directly: "Qingshan, there are many things, I will talk to you first."

   "It's a bit far to pick up the relatives. It takes a whole day to drive from here to Chuncheng. Can't we pick them up on the first day?"

   This is indeed a big problem. Marriages in rural areas are usually from nearby villages, and the bride is brought back by a horse-drawn carriage.

  The ones farther away are basically in the county, sitting on four wheels or large trucks.

   At this time, Zhang Ganzi expressed his opinion: "It would be great if I could fly, that's fast."

   "Don't be silly, we don't have an airport here, where will the plane land?" Captain Zhang glared at this guy.

  Zhang Ganzi has a trick: "When the time comes, get two parachutes, ask Qingshan and his partner to parachute, and it will be over."

   "You hurry up and stay aside, don't talk about those irrelevant things." The old branch secretary raised his foot to kick, and then Zhang Ganzi hid aside with a smile.

  Liu Qingshan also blinked his eyes twice: He really hasn't considered this problem, it's a bit difficult to handle.

  However, in this regard, there are also customary customs in rural areas, and Da Zhang Luo, as the person in charge, expresses his opinion:

"You can find a relative or friend's house in the town or county, and ask your natal guest to come over in advance, and then go to that house to pick up the relatives, but don't forget to tell Wu Tong that when you leave, throw a few dollars on the kang .”

  Liu Qingshan's eyes lit up: "Okay, that's a good idea, then don't bother going to the county or town, let's just stay in Jiapigou!"

  Er Biaozi interjected with a smile: "Sanfeng, it's useless to be anxious, you won't be able to enter the bridal chamber until dark."

  Everyone laughed, and then they scrambled to become their mother's family and asked Wu Tong to live in their own home.

  Of course I didn't care about the few dollars, but rushed to help.

  In the end, it was Grandpa Kidnap who said: "Don't steal anyone, and call Tong girl to live in my house when the time comes!"

  Grandpa Kidnapper is highly respected, and no one dares to rob him again. The first thing is to be sure.

   Turning back, Liu Qingshan called Wu Tong to communicate and asked her and her family to come over one day in advance.

  Da Zhang Luo began to talk about the second thing: "When the time comes, there will definitely be a lot of relatives and friends, so this banquet must be well prepared."

   "No problem, the big fat pigs in my pig farm have already been prepared!" Zhang Ganzi was excited again.

   "You can't just eat pork, chicken, duck, fish, etc., you have to prepare it early." Captain Zhang expressed his opinion.

   "There are also vegetables, we have a greenhouse, don't worry." The big head followed suit.

  Boss Che also interjected: "For fish, wait for me to contact the reservoir and come for winter fishing two days in advance."

   "There is also the wild vegetable factory, which can provide mountain delicacies." Yi Hongying also strongly supports it.

   It made Lu Xiaolong a little anxious: "Our pharmaceutical factory can also..."

   "Haha, let's forget about it in your pharmaceutical factory." Everyone laughed, and the guests can't come, so let's pass over two pills first?

   Lu Xiaolong rolled his eyes: "Our pharmaceutical factory is responsible for providing medicinal tea, just to entertain guests."

Okay, count your heart, when it comes to this, Da Zhangluo discussed with Liu Qingshan again, what grades of tobacco, wine, sugar and tea are going to be used, how many dishes are prepared for the banquet, whether it is eight to eight or six to six .

   This made Liu Qingshan very upset: "Uncle Zhang Luo, these people just look at the arrangement, the standard is higher, and I will be responsible for paying for it."

   And Lin Zhi used practical actions to express support for his son's words, and directly took out a few bundles of banknotes:

   "Everyone has to worry about it. If the money is not enough, I will take it later."

  Da Zhang Luo also saw Qian's eyes open: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will set up a special wedding preparation team to ensure that the wedding will be beautiful."

  The next topic is to notify relatives and friends to attend the wedding, so Liu Qingshan has to call.

  The entire Jiapigou was busy because of Liu Qingshan's wedding. Fortunately, it was the slack season and the cooperatives didn't have much work.

   In the next few days, one after another, guests began to come to the small mountain village of Jiapigou.

  The first ones to come back were those from afar. The aunt and grandpa Du from the United States led their grandson Du Jiaxing, escorted by Liu Yinfeng, Qian Yuzhen and others, and rushed back first.

  They were transiting on Hong Kong Island, so they arrived together with Huang Shuwen's family.

  After that, Yang Hongying from the Hujiang River also brought Lin Qingqing and the others back early.

  These relatives, according to the local name, are called sitters.

   It is a rare reunion for the older generation, sitting on the hot kang head, each with gray hair and very kind smiles.

  The juniors feel at ease when they look at it: an old man in a family is like a treasure.

  The old people are also happy, watching more than a dozen children and grandchildren on the ground, spreading branches and leaves, this is the continuation of their lives.

  Huang Shuwen waved to Liu Qingshan: "Sanfeng, you and girl Tong are married. The three of us from the older generation will discuss it. There is no other gift. The old house in the capital will be left to you to inherit."

  The old house in Shijia Hutong belongs to the ancestral property of the Huang family. Although Liu Qingshan strongly advocated it, he got it and spent a lot of money on renovations.

  But Liu Qingshan never thought that the house belonged to him, so he replied with a smile:

   "Uncle, grandpa, aunt, you and the elders should exchange for separate gifts. Since it is an ancestral property, it should be inherited by the children and grandchildren. How can I monopolize it?"

  Unexpectedly, the attitudes of several elderly people were extremely firm, and Grandpa Du also said:

   "That's it. We don't live in the capital. It's the most suitable for you to develop there."

   After finishing speaking, he also took out an agreement: "This is signed by several of us old guys, and the younger generations of each family have no objection."

  Liu Qingshan also felt warm in his heart: the old people were worried that after a hundred years, they would leave a mess to their children and grandchildren, so they resolved this matter early.

   "Sanfeng, it's settled like this. It is the most suitable for you to inherit the old house. Only you can carry forward the family business."

  Huang Shuwen also figured it out a long time ago. Among these juniors, only Liu Qingshan is truly outstanding.

   "Thank you elders for your care. Please rest assured that a family is like a big tree. Although there are different branches, there is only one trunk."

  Since this is the case, Liu Qingshan will no longer be hypocritical, thank the elders, then accept the agreement and hand it over to his mother.

   "Wait, Brother Biao, I have an opinion." Du Jiaxing said suddenly.

  He already speaks Mandarin very well, and now he still calls his cousin Brother Biao, obviously on purpose.

  He came to Jiapigou a few times, and he also knows the meaning of the word "Biao" in the local area.

Ok? Grandpa Du narrowed his eyes.

  Du Jiaxing giggled twice: "Brother Biao, the house belongs to you, but you have to give me some compensation. I heard that you are going to ice fishing, so take me with you."
