"Good morning."

"Good morning."

In the morning, Meng Shu yawned and greeted Li Qin, and then took a towel to wash.

"How was your sleep last night?" Li Qin asked with a smile.

"It's okay, it's a bit of a kid."

Meng Shu replied that he and Li Qin slept at his grandmother's house last night, which was actually very surprising to him.

When he went home the year before last, the old couple still wanted to talk to their grandchildren more, and they didn't want their mother and son to stay overnight. This pair of old people have a bad temper, but their concept is very traditional, they think that the children born by their sons are their own grandchildren, so the old people don't love Meng Huo and the children of his aunts' families very much.

Originally, Meng Huo was ready to return to the county seat to stay in a hotel, but he didn't expect his uncles to take the initiative to leave with a few children last night, so he stayed. He hadn't lived here in years, and he missed it a little, but speaking of which, he preferred to go to a hotel, which was nothing in the countryside. The two old men also don't watch TV, and they don't have anything else to do at night except chatting.

"Xiao Yu, come with me to the ancestral hall to worship before dinner later."

Li Qin said again.

The ancestral hall, which is one of the ancient buildings in China, is located in almost every village, which is a little different from Meng Huo's previous life. Most of the ancestral halls in his previous life were located in the southern region, and the ancestral halls in the northern region were torn down and smashed in several movements after the liberation, and the ancestral tablets and even some genealogies were burned and destroyed.

Qingcheng County is located in the southerly area, so Meng Huo is very familiar with the ancestral hall. However, there was another person, Jose's hometown was in the north, and Meng Shu was with her when she talked about this topic. She had no idea what an ancestral hall was and what it was for......

Meng Shu gushed out a sense of nostalgia, and it was the first time that Jose had revealed that she was not omnipotent. He remembered Jose's annoyed face as he pressed him. However, this world should never be seen again, when traveling, Meng Huo's ancestral hall culture in China has not been damaged, and the north has a good heritage, and Jose in this world should also know about the ancestral hall.

"It's a pity ......"

Meng Shu sighed, then washed his face and followed Li Qin to the ancestral hall.

There are differences in the folk culture of each region, and in Qingcheng County, the first day of the Lunar New Year. Every household, including the county residents, will offer incense to their ancestors and set off a cake of firecrackers in the ancestral hall to celebrate. During this day's activities, people in the county generally offer incense at home and then return to their hometown after breakfast, while people in the village must come to the ancestral hall early in the morning to offer incense.

Li Qin also wants to be incense, she has no formal husband's family, so her identity is still a member of the Li family. Meng Shu could only stand on the side of the ancestral hall and watch his mother and several unmarried women make incense together, and he has not been able to participate in this activity since he was a child. His identity is not even as good as those women who married into Li Village, and he has never been regarded by others as a member of the Li family.

It's always been that way, yes, but this time it seems different.

"Meng Huo, you also go to the incense."

The old man in charge of revising the genealogy in the village suddenly walked up to Meng Shu and said, Meng Shu was slightly surprised: "No, how can this be!" ”

He hurriedly refused. But the old man explained.

"You were raised by Li Qin, and you don't have a father, in fact, you are also a member of our Li family, you are an adult this year, and you are qualified to go to incense."

The old man's explanation made Meng Shu silent. Adulthood has nothing to do with this activity. The village did not admit that he was the key, and the topic of his surname seemed to have been discussed in the village when Meng was a child. Li Qin's experience was a little embarrassing, but she was still considered a member of the Li family, so Meng Huo could also be identified as a descendant of the Li family.

This is the same as a man entering the family and a child following the mother's surname, as long as the village says a word, Meng Shu can become 'Li Shu' and join the family tree. But in the end, the village did not admit that in the past, no matter how big or small, including activities such as tomb sweeping during the Qingming Festival, Meng Huo was regarded as an outsider. And now the old man's attitude has suddenly changed, and he wants to accept Meng Huo again. But what is the point of this now?

"No, I'm an outsider, just take a look."

Meng Shu said with a smile, a flash of disappointment clearly flashed on the old man's face, and he left with a sigh.

"Look, I knew the kid wouldn't agree......"

"Alas...... The village shouldn't have been so harsh back then, but now that he is rich and powerful, it will be difficult for us to tie up again. ”

"It's a pity, if he had changed his surname, now this kid would have to glorify our ancestors......"

Meng Shu heard a lot of small talks, he smiled bitterly in his heart, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of strength - if you have strength, you can change the qiqi around you, and without strength, there will be no one to please. Li Village celebrates every year as long as there is a college student, this village has a history of hundreds of years, but there has never been a person with such an identity as Meng Huo. At that time, he did not agree to Meng Shu's surname to be added to the family tree, which was destined to make the old people in the village regret it.

But they didn't seem to give up, and after burning the incense, the respected people in the village came to chat with Meng Huo, and Meng Huo's grandparents seemed to acquiesce to this practice, and the eyes that looked at Meng Huo became much more cordial.

However, to be honest, Meng Shu didn't expect such a scene, which made him a little embarrassed, but fortunately, his luck was particularly good, when Li Qin didn't have enough authority to help him, Yang Long from the county government arrived.

"What a pity, teacher, the county magistrate wants to invite you to tea."

He appeared like a savior, and Meng Shu apologized to the elders while leaving with Yang Long with a secret smile in his heart. The county magistrate invited, and all the old people in the house didn't dare to come out to stop them, they were stunned one by one, watching Meng Shu leave with Yang Long, these old people began to riot.

"Why did the county magistrate personally send someone to invite him?"

"That's the head of a county, our parents! It seems that it is true that others said before that the government helped us build roads to curry favor with Meng Huo, how powerful is this kid now? Even the county magistrate wants to curry favor with him? ”

"We can't let this kid go like this, we're here waiting for him to come back, and we must let him join the family tree! Li Qin, you damn it has to help us persuade him! ”

"Yes, he doesn't have a father, our village is his home!"

The old people said excitedly, and Li Qin listened to the sweat next to him. She likes Meng Huo's current surname very much, in fact, she never thought of letting her son join the Li family, but in front of these elders, her seniority is too low, and she can't say anything if she is slight, so Li Qin has to hope that Meng Huo will come back later.

Meng Shu did make this plan, he met with the county magistrate, there was nothing to say during the meeting, and the county magistrate of Qingcheng County gave Meng Shu a very good feeling - "He is worthy of being an official, and he is more tactful than a businessman." ”

This county magistrate is very enthusiastic, and the people who are immersed in officialdom have a very strong ability to observe words and feelings, and the county magistrate did not let Meng Shu feel a little pressure during the chat with Meng Shu. And he also expressed the will of the county government, the will of the county government is very simple, they hope that Meng Xu, as a native of Qingcheng County, can make some contributions to the city.

For example, when you are interviewed by the media, you can praise your hometown, describe some of the scenery of your hometown when you draw cartoons, or if you have the idea of expanding to the mainland in the future, you can invest in building a factory in Qingcheng County...... Overall, things are some ** events, and the county government just hopes that Meng Huo will make some contributions to the exhibition of his hometown if possible.

Meng agreed, these things are very simple, he doesn't have a strong hometown plot, but he himself is willing to help his hometown as much as possible.

The Qingcheng County Government valued his relationship, and Meng was happy. He has been planning to set up a charitable fund for some time, and it will officially start next year, just when the government of Qingcheng County curry favor with him, Meng Shu decided to use this as a key pilot area, this small county is not rich, and the charitable foundation plays a great role.

When the county magistrate learned of this, he was excited to thank Meng Huo again and again on the spot, if the charity fund is successful, it will be beneficial to Qingcheng County. After chatting for a morning, the two had lunch together, and Meng Huo asked the county magistrate to send someone to Li Village to bring over the luggage, and decided to return to Ninghai early on the grounds that he was busy with work.

Yang Long sent Meng Shu to the station, and even bought a high-speed rail ticket.

"Thank you." After Meng Shu and Yang Long said goodbye, they walked into the waiting hall wearing a hat and scarf. However, as soon as he passed the checkpoint, he picked up his luggage and saw a familiar person in the waiting hall - Shen Jie was reading a book in her hand with her small suitcase in the waiting space.

"Why is she here?"

Meng Shu felt strange, could it be that Li Qin told Shen Jie that he would leave Qingcheng at this time?

But this is impossible, Meng Shu didn't notify Shen Jie at all when he came back this time, and the decision to leave had only just been made. Li Qin only knew when the county government sent someone to pick up his luggage that in such a short period of time, it was impossible for Shen Jie to get the news, buy a ticket, sit in the waiting hall in advance, and wait.

It's just an accident -

“……”

At this time, Shen Jie seemed to notice a strange gaze, and she put down the book in her hand and turned her head to look at it. Meng Xu's heart jumped slightly, although there was a hat and a scarf to cover it up, but there was no reason at all, he knew that Shen Jie would recognize him.

Sure enough, Shen Jie had just looked at it, and after her face was slightly shocked, she immediately burst into a smile of surprise and joy.

"Meng ......" she wanted to shout, but stopped her mouth in time, got up and said, "When did you return to Qingcheng?" ”

"Yesterday." Meng Shu replied: "I only stayed for two days, so I didn't inform you, why did you leave so early?" ”

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, even the third year of high school did not start, and he didn't understand what the reason for Shen Jie to leave Qingcheng so early.

"I have training." Shen Jie took Meng Shu to sit down, and then said with a smile: "While school hasn't started yet, I want to seize this time to learn more." ”
