The local dialect of Fengzhou, Guangdong Province belongs to the Hokkien language family, and the grandmother's sacrifice is actually not the grandmother's sacrifice day, but the ancestor, matriarchal line, and the sacrifice day.
Like Leicuo Village, the whole village is surnamed Lei, and their ancestors are the same husband and wife, the male is called the grandfather, and the female is called the grandmother.
On the day of the ancestors' sacrifices, it is best for the male of every household to appear, and you have to tell the ancestors that there is a male in your family and there are successors.
This is the incense culture, and it is also one of the reasons why the Chinese value sons over daughters, because girls marry and participate in sacrifices in other places.
Lei Hao is the male in the family, and he has to appear on the big days of previous years, but his hometown remembers the lunar calendar, and he uses the solar calendar for work, and he can't remember the time very clearly.
On Saturday, June 4th, early in the morning, Lei Hao's biological clock woke him up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and went outside.
The husband and wife arrived, Aunt Ping came, and Li Yingfeng, who acted as the driver, was also present.
At the urging of his mother, Lei Hao simply ate something, and the group went to Qiu Yuting's residence in two cars, picked up the goddess, and began to embark on the return journey home.
From Yangcheng to Fengzhou, the drive takes four to five hours, and it takes three hours to take the whole time by plane, mainly because there is no airport in Fengzhou, so we simply chose to drive, just right, there are many things, and it is convenient to drive.
Along the way, Qiu Yuting, who pushed the job and accompanied Lei Hao home, was full of interest, the customs in the north and south of China are very different, she regarded it as a tour this time, and she can also learn about Lei Laohu's hometown.
"The beautiful mountains and rivers are about equal to the poor mountains and bad waters, we have to go to the town to find a slightly decent hotel, a hotel or something, don't think about any star-rated hotels, and people in small places are grouped, between villages and villages, there are some historical problems" There was nothing to do in the car, Lei Hao gave Qiu Yuting a preventive shot.
At 1 o'clock at noon, when the car drove into Tangdong Town, Lei Hao was slapped in the face, the village in the center of the town is called Tangxi Village, there was only a small market here half a year ago, and now the decoration and upgrading of many shops, plus a few shops that buy mobile phones, engage in catering, and open department stores, instantly look much more upscale.
"Not bad."
Qiu Yuting blinked, remembering the scenery along the way just now, and felt that Lei Laohu was trying to lower her psychological expectations just now.
"Tingting, let's ignore him, that kid hasn't come back for more than half a year, he knows a fart."
Lei Hao's mother took Qiu Yuting's hand, got out of the car, looked at the group of "turtles" around her, and then looked at the future daughter-in-law around her, and the whole person almost trembled. was worried that there was no object to show, and Lu Huiyan saw that on the side of the intersection that she turned into, a few acquaintances were scolding and walking out.
"Second uncle, second uncle."
Lu Huiyan opened her throat and shouted.
There are four people over there, one old and three young, the old one is Lei Fujia, the second uncle of Leicuo Village, and the younger one is two men and one woman, three middle-aged people, all of whom are from the village committee.
What makes Lei Hao admire is that looking over there from this crossroads, in fact, the second uncle and others are just showing their bodies, which can be seen by the mother, and it is really not easy.
"Now, isn't this a tiger?"
The second uncle had gray hair, but his face was ruddy, and after he came over, the first person he greeted was Lei Hao, and said with a happy smile: "The college students are back, haha, well, unlike those bastards, they can't all die when they go home for a day." ” "It's not easy, and it costs a lot of money to go back and forth."
Lei Hao explained to others, like he used to earn 3,000 a month, a trip back and forth includes expenses and bringing some cigarettes and alcohol, it is very common to spend 1,000, and it is normal not to go home.
"Yes, it's not easy, it's okay if you don't come back, this Tangdong Town, I think it's going to be ruined by those bastards."
The second uncle spat on the ground and looked angrily at the place where he had just come out.
Following his gaze, Lei Hao flipped through his memory and knew that that the place was the Tangdong Town Government, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange, but he didn't pick up the stubble, invited these few people who hadn't eaten together, entered the restaurant together, ordered food, and a large table of people gathered around.
Before the food was served, Lei Hao was constantly asked about the current situation by his second uncle Lei Fujia, but unfortunately the old man didn't understand anything about finance and other things he said, and finally decided to engage in a business and have money.
It's easy to say in terms of career, in terms of feelings, Lei Hao also has to accept Lei Fujia's ridicule, no way, Lei Cuo Village is divided into four rooms, and now the ancestral hall is the person in charge of the "rich" generation, Lei Fujia and Lei Hao are the same people in the second room, it is not an exaggeration to say that blood is thicker than water, and a few words of ridicule are expressions of intimacy.
As soon as the conversation changed, Lei Fujia asked again: "Tiger, you are still recruiting people, as the saying goes, fight tiger brothers, and go into battle as father and son soldiers." ” "Second uncle, you have it, Tiger, the cleaners have to graduate from college, and a few college students in our village" Lei Zhenqiang muttered beside him: "You can't do a good job, you can't be a security guard or something, where is it not to do it." ” "As long as you talk too much, how can you run a business like this."
Lei Fujia glared at Lei Zhenqiang, looked at Lei Hao again, and waited for a reply.
Lei Hao doesn't think it's difficult, the investment company can't get in, Liu Xingdong has a job there, and other customers can digest some there, but this favor can be given, but it can't be given casually, there are two or three thousand people in a village, and he can arrange how many young and middle-aged people can come.
"I can't do it over there, maybe a few can be arranged elsewhere."
Lei Hao was smoking cigarettes, and he had long had a psychological expectation of this situation.
In this place in the countryside, you have a chance, and when you go home, someone will definitely come to you, borrow money, and find relationships.
"A few people, it's not useful, hey, I'm just thinking, if you have the ability, go out to work, don't stay in the village, this Tangxi Village, it's all messed up."
Lei Fujia smoked a cigarette and spoke indignantly.
Lei Hao knew that this Tangdong town has really changed recently, first opened a paper mill and laundry detergent factory, and now wants to get some thermal power plant, the money is coming, the company is also getting it, but the pollution is also big.
Leicuo Village is more tragic, just in the lower reaches of the Tang River, the villagers can still swim in the river half a year ago, not to mention swimming half a year later, washing clothes are too much water, plus the impact of planting and breeding, the villagers have a hard time.
"It's also our bad luck, it happens to be downstream, if it's the upstream of Tangxi Village, it's not enough to eat."
Lei Minlong, secretary of the village party committee, said: "There is no way in the town, if you want to develop, you have to sacrifice some people, and we happen to be the part that is sacrificed." ” ", in my opinion, the money was definitely collected, otherwise how could no one care about the sewage discharge of the two factories and spoil the water source, and they were ready to make thermal power generation, and in the future, the air would not be much better."
Huang Chunzhi, director of the Women's Congress, scolded.
Lei Hao was silent
