Chapter 172 Returning to Chenjiayan? [Second update]
Early the next morning, Chen Muyu and Xu Meng left the provincial capital.
I didn’t have anyone drive me there, so I took the train directly. The train can go to Shao’e City and then back to Qingshan City from Shao’e City, which is very convenient.
The herbal tea factory in Shao'e City has been demolished, so after arriving in Shao'e City, I didn't make any further stop and went straight back to Qingshan City.
The Chinese New Year is more than a month away, and Chen Muyu needs to make preparations. Before the New Year, he must at least go to Xu Meng’s house for a formal visit.
Xu Meng has mentioned this matter to Chen Muyu many times. After all, he is already in his twenties, and the elders in the family want to meet Xu Meng's boyfriend.
Before this, Chen Muyu had already met Xu Meng's grandparents, uncle, and two aunts. Generally speaking, he should be quite satisfied with him. Now he just needs to pay a formal visit.
Of course, the specific time must be discussed with the older generation first. It is the first time to come to the door, what are the customs and etiquette, these things are very particular.
…
In the past few days when Chen Muyu was away, the scrap yard at home took in several big orders and earned a few hundred thousand. Dad Chen Jianzhong is in a good mood. He should be able to live a good life this year.
In the evening, Xu Meng and her sister Xu Xiaowan were watching TV on the sofa in the living room, and her mother was cooking in the kitchen. This was the first time Xu Meng came to Chen Muyu's house. Her mother was very enthusiastic and cooked herself to make a big meal.
In the study, Chen Muyu was asking his father about things in his hometown.
“A family with the surname Gu? Why do you ask?”
Dad was sitting on the bay window of the study, holding a cigarette in his mouth, with the window open, taking one puff and then blowing it out.
Chen Muyu sat at the desk and pulled the stool closer to his father, "I went to the provincial capital this time and met someone. I heard that her ancestral home is also from our Chenjiayan. I want to find relatives. Don't I think it's a coincidence?
I just want to help her, but when I think about it carefully, I can’t remember anyone with the surname Gu in our village.”
Dad clicked his lips, took a deep breath, held it for a while, and exhaled a puff of thick smoke. Judging from his frown, he must be thinking hard, "Our village has a total of eight production teams and about 500 households."
There are many outsiders, but those with the surname Gu are rare."
“So, does it mean he has the surname Gu?” Chen Muyu asked.
"How do I know this?" Dad shook his head, "I haven't been back for many years, and there are so many households in the village, how can I know every household? Why, is this person very important? Is he a boy or a girl?
, how old are you?”
“It’s generally important, I’m just curious.”
Chen Muyu hesitated, not knowing how to answer, "Female, 20 or 30 years old. I just heard that her ancestral home is from our place, more than a hundred years ago."
If he had said it was a woman who was almost 150 years old, I'm afraid my father would have jumped at him on the spot, thinking that he was not clear-headed and was talking nonsense.
“More than a hundred years ago?”
Dad shook his head and said, "How long ago it must have been, I would be surprised if I knew it. If you are really interested, just follow me back to Chenjiayan tomorrow and ask the villagers."
“Are you going back tomorrow?” Chen Muyu was stunned for a moment.
Dad rolled his eyes and handed it over, "On the anniversary of your grandfather's death, not only do I want to go back, but your third uncle also wants to go back. Why, you forgot?"
“How could I forget this.”
Chen Muyu laughed dryly, "Isn't Grandpa's death anniversary still in two days?"
"I'm afraid that the house in my hometown is deserted. I left it to your brother-in-law to help take care of it. It's not like you don't know that your brother-in-law is not reliable at all. Let's go back two days early and organize it carefully. Whatever is missing is missing.
It's better to prepare it in advance so that it won't be a mess when the time comes." Chen Jianzhong said.
Since he took root in the city, he rarely returns to his hometown once a year. Except for Qingming Festival, New Year's Eve and the anniversary of the death of his grandparents, Chen Jianzhong will only go back if there are some happy events in his hometown or if there is a leak in the old house.
trip.
As for Chen Muyu, he has even less time to go back.
But it’s the anniversary of my grandpa’s death, so I definitely have to go back.
…
——
The next morning, Chen Muyu first went to the western suburbs and met with Qin Hong.
Li Yuanshan is still in seclusion. It stands to reason that this old man has been healing his wounds and recovering his lost internal strength for so many days. Even if he has not fully recovered, there should be nothing serious.
At least, it should be no problem to go out for a walk.
However, it seems that Li Yuanshan doesn’t just want to heal his wounds. I’m afraid he wants to take this opportunity to break through and then stand up again, so as to break through to the realm of Yuanshen in one fell swoop.
A few days ago, Qian Jueming brought back the news that Mo Zaiyan of Lao Jun Guan had broken through to the realm of Yuanshen. After Qin Hong learned the news, he felt a little anxious in his heart.
After all, Laojun Guan and Qingjing Guan, one represents Qingshen and the other represents Shao'e, have always been indistinguishable and compete with each other. Until their generation, each of the two sects had three peers, and their cultivation levels were almost the same.
It was even, and now Mo Zaiyan suddenly took the lead, which can be regarded as a decisive victory.
At the Yuanshen realm, one can definitely be regarded as a master-level figure in the modern martial arts world.
Therefore, Qin Hong also eagerly hopes that Li Yuanshan can break through, so that he can bring Qingshen Mountain back to the same starting line.
It’s just that this kind of thing cannot be forced.
“I heard that you performed very well in the provincial capital this time, and even Wei Zaiyun was injured by you?”
In the side hall of the front yard, Qin Hong was sitting in a rocking chair drinking tea, while Chen Muyu was playing with the thrush in the bird cage next to him.
“The old man probably did too many bad things and was struck by lightning. It’s none of my business.” Chen Muyu said calmly without looking back.
Qin Hong glanced at him and didn't ask any questions. Qian Jueming had already told him the specific story before, and it was very detailed and clear.
He knew that there must be a secret about Chen Muyu, but this kid was very defensive. He would definitely not be able to find out anything by asking him so hard. Since he couldn't find out anything, he might as well not ask to save his worries.
"Two days ago, Mo Zaiyan contacted me and said that he would come to Qingshan City to visit." Qin Hong said softly, "However, I gave him a reason, saying that my senior brother had not left seclusion, so he declined..."
"Old man, you are wrong. The so-called visitor is a guest. I want to meet old friends, but I didn't say I came to fight. Why are you so nervous?" Chen Muyu laughed.
“You kid, you are really soft-spoken and manipulative. I gave you a small favor and you just talked for him like this?” Qin Hong said angrily.
Chen Muyu chuckled and came to Qin Hong with a shy face, "They gave me 100 million, how can this be a small favor?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his palm towards Qin Hong.
"go!"
Qin Hong patted his palm and blocked the way, "Don't underestimate Mo Zaiyan. If he comes to Shao'e, even if he doesn't hold back any evil, it will definitely not be a good thing."
