"Of course it's true, Mom! How could I lie to you? I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would worry, but now that my son has made money, I can tell you with confidence. You only need to know that your son is rich!"
Our family's life will only get better and better!" Chen Jinyuan saw that his mother had calmed down and quickly struck while the iron was hot.
Wang Xiuzhen took a deep look at Chen Jinyuan, and saw that Chen Jinyuan looked at her sincerely and did not seem to be lying. She thought that this child would not deceive her, so she smiled and chose to believe in her son.
"Even if you have money, you can't spend it carelessly!" Wang Xiuzhen, who is used to living a hard life, can't stand waste the most.
Seeing that the crisis was over, Chen Jinyuan quickly nodded in agreement, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and breathed a long sigh of relief. The mother and son walked home one after another.
Chen Jinyuan's house is a brick house like most other houses in the village. In front of the house is a large courtyard surrounded by a two-meter-high mud wall. Wang Xiuzhen walked in front and opened the courtyard door to let Chen Jinyuan go in first.
It is full of firewood. Although the house is a bit dilapidated, it is quite large. Land in the countryside is not as valuable as in the city. Most of the houses built by the villagers are built on their own land, and they are all larger. Chen Jinyuan's home
It was built in the 1990s, when Chen Jinyuan was only two or three years old. The family lived in the old house with his second uncle's family and grandparents. Later, his second uncle Chen Zongming also had a child, Chen Jinyuan's cousin Chen.
Jie. It was a bit crowded for a large family to live together, so the grandparents used their savings to build the current brick house, and Chen Jinyuan's family moved in with his grandparents.
After more than ten years of wind and rain, the house has become somewhat dilapidated, and the original new house has long become an old house!
After entering the house and putting down the heavy things on her body, her mother made herself a pot of tea to quench her thirst, and then took an enamel basin into the kitchen. The hot water had already been boiled in the pot. After a while, Wang Xiuzhen
He brought out a basin of hot water and asked Chen Jinyuan to wash his face and feet to remove the dust on his body. Seeing his mother busy serving him, Chen Jinyuan couldn't help but sigh, it's better to be at home! We have our parents at home! At this moment, Chen Jinyuan's
My heart seems to have found its home, and it is extremely peaceful!
After washing my feet, I changed into a pair of slippers and went into my bedroom. The space in the house is quite large. The large room in the middle is the main room used to worship the ancestors' tablets. The large partition on the right side of the main room is divided into two small rooms.
One room inside belongs to my sister, but my sister is studying in high school in the county. Although she is on vacation now, the school requires make-up classes and she will not be back for a few days, so the room is still empty. The room outside is Chen Jinyuan's small home. The main room
On the left are the rooms of my parents and grandparents. Because my grandfather passed away three years ago, my grandmother now lives in one room. Further to the left is the kitchen and living room. The door to the main room is usually closed, and the family usually has to go in and out.
It's through the door of the living room.
After passing through his parents' bedroom and the main room, he walked into his room. The room was not very big, and it was still decorated as before. There was a transparent glass window with a purple embroidered curtain hanging on the window. Chen Jinyuan stepped forward.
Open the curtains, and the light from outside shines in through the window, and the room suddenly becomes brighter. Through the window, you can clearly see the scene in the courtyard. Of course, if you stand in the courtyard, you can also see Chen Jinyuan’s
The room can be seen clearly.
There is a small desk in front of the window, with a small lamp and some books that Chen Jinyuan has read before. There is a five-foot-wide wooden bed placed against the wall, and the bed has been covered with clean sheets and
There are two thick beddings. I think my mother knew she was coming back and changed them in advance. There are no mosquitoes in winter, so the mosquito nets that were originally hung have been taken down. The white walls on both sides are covered with large and small certificates.
, if you look closely, they are all from elementary school and junior high school. Chen Jinyuan originally wanted to tear them up, but his mother didn’t allow it. After thinking about it, he was reluctant to let go because it carries his glorious past! So he has kept it until now. Generally speaking,
The room is not big, and the decoration is not gorgeous, but Chen Jinyuan feels warm and cozy. Perhaps it is in line with the saying: A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse!
I put the computer and the mobile phone I bought for my little sister on the desk, then opened the glass window to let some air in, then closed the door and left the room.
At this time, her mother Wang Xiuzhen was busy in the kitchen, preparing dinner. When she saw Chen Jinyuan coming out, she asked Chen Jinyuan to go inside and watch TV for a while. There was only a small 21-inch color TV in the house, which was placed in the living room. There was a
There is a sofa and a square table, these portraits of great men are posted on the wall, and a photo frame is hung. Except for a family portrait, almost all the photos in the frame belong to Chen Jinyuan and his sister Chen Jinrong. Chen Jinyuan opened
It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon on the TV, and the channels I changed were all cartoons. I felt that it was boring, so I put down the remote control and walked around the room until I realized that I didn't see my father and grandma.
So he walked into the kitchen and asked Wang Xiuzhen: "Mom! Where are grandma and dad? Why didn't they see anyone?"
After hearing her son's question, Wang Xiuzhen paused while holding a kitchen knife to cut the bacon. She looked up at Chen Jinyuan, as if she remembered something, and said with a hesitant look on her face: "Oh! They went to work in the fields.
Yes, I’ll be back in a moment!”
Going to work? Chen Jinyuan felt doubtful in his heart. If his father went out to work, he might still believe it. His grandma was over seventy years old and it was difficult to walk. What kind of work could she do? Besides, it was already the depth of winter.
, there should be no life left in the fields!
Chen Jinyuan looked at his mother's expression. He was sure that his mother must be hiding something from him! He couldn't help but said: "Mom! You are not lying to me. Grandma has been idle at home for several years. How could she go to work in the fields?
As for work, you must be hiding something from me, where did they go?"
"Don't worry about family matters. Just remember to study hard. Don't worry about other things! Your father and the others will be back soon!" Wang Xiuzhen paused again and said in a heavy tone. After that, she continued to cut.
Bacon in hand.
Yesterday, I felt something was wrong with my mother's tone on the phone. At that time, I felt that something might have happened at home, but I didn't pay too much attention to it. Seeing my mother's look like this at this time, Chen Jinyuan's inner thoughts were strengthened.
"Mom! I am already twenty-two years old this year and am an adult. Please stop treating me like a child. Tell me what happened at home? Don't always hide everything from me, okay?
." Because of the excitement in his heart, Chen Jinyuan's voice involuntarily raised several decibels, almost shouting.
When Wang Xiuzhen heard this, she put down the kitchen knife in her hand and slowly raised her head. There was a slight struggle in her eyes, as if she was wondering whether she should tell her son the truth. She seemed to see Chen Jinyuan's firm gaze and suddenly felt
My son has really grown up. Maybe I really shouldn’t hide it from him. Sooner or later, he will know anyway. He gritted his teeth and slowly uttered a few words: "Our ancestral grave has been stolen!"
"What? The ancestral grave has been stolen?"
Chen Jinyuan's eyes widened. His mother's words made Chen Jinyuan a little stunned.
Ancestral tombs may be unique to China. From ancient times to the present, everyone from the royal family to the common people has regarded their ancestral tombs as taboo. They will never allow anyone to touch them and disturb the peace of their ancestors. In normal times, if
When someone's family has something good or happy, others will say that there is smoke coming out of your ancestral grave. In rural areas, if there is a quarrel or something, the other party will often threaten to dig up his ancestral grave, but after all, it is just a quarrel, and no one is so evil.
I really went to dig someone's ancestral grave.
Now that we have entered the 21st century, the concept of ancestral graves is not as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as before. However, in rural areas of China, these are taken very seriously. Chen Jinyuan thinks that he has received a higher education, so he does not take these very seriously.
, but my parents and people from previous generations care about it very much. This is not superstition, but a kind of respect and admiration for the ancestors.
During the Qianlong Dynasty, the ancestors of the Chen family once had a flower-hunting man who was worshiped as the governor of Jiazhou. After his death, he was buried in the Chen family's ancestral tomb. His tomb was the most luxurious one in the cemetery, and it was also where Chen Jinyuan's family was located.
Chenshan Village and even the surrounding villages have always been the pride of the Chen family. This is the tomb that Chen's mother was talking about.
A few years ago, this tomb was rated as one of the top ten protected cultural relics in Cidu County by the county cultural relics bureau. It is said to be protected, but in fact it is just a monument erected next to the tomb. Those people only eat and do nothing, so they have to protect it.
Do it on your own.
After reports from the county, the entire Cidu County knew that there was such a large tomb in Chenshan Village. Because the owner of the tomb had been a high official, there must have been a lot of things buried with him. Several groups of tomb robbers had come before and after, but they were all stolen by the villagers.
It was discovered but failed. Unexpectedly, these tomb robbers still refused to give up and came again.
"When did it happen? Have you caught the thief? Do you know who did it?" Chen Jinyuan asked hurriedly.
Wang Xiuzhen wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said: "Only three nights ago! Who else could be so wicked? It was the yellow-haired guy who did it!" Chen Jinyuan listened quietly to Wang Xiuzhen's story of the incident.
"Uh...Huang Mao..." Chen Jinyuan was a little surprised after hearing Wang Xiuzhen's words. Of course Chen Jinyuan knew the Huang Mao that Wang Xiuzhen was talking about, and he was very familiar with it. Huang Mao was just a nickname, his real name was Huang Xiaogui, and he and Chen Jinyuan were in primary school.
And a classmate in junior high school. At that time, Huang Xiaogui had poor grades and even worse character. He often bullied his classmates, so almost everyone in the class hated him except his gang of bad friends. Chen Jinyuan was also bullied by him at that time.
But he has never gone to the teacher to file a complaint, not because Chen Jinyuan dares to be angry and dare not speak out, or is easy to bully, but because he knows that even if he files a complaint to the teacher, it will not help.
Because Huang Mao's father Huang Zhongfa is the head of Panlong Township and an official! But his father is just an ordinary commoner.
