Chapter 638
When Li Ye and the others were paying respects to the ancestors, the black-faced old man left. He was watching the slope in the village. Usually, he was in the shed. If someone stole corn, he would shout, acting as a cat that scares mice.
After burning paper and paying respects to the ancestors, Li Ye asked Fu Guiru: "Mom, shall we leave now? Or shall I go to the village for you?"
Fu Guiru looked at Li Ye and nodded: "Then you go to the village for a walk! Thank old Nanggua... thank your Uncle Chen."
"Okay~"
Li Ye packed up his things, shared a car with Wen Leyu and sister Li Yue, and drove to the front of the black-faced old man's shed, first handing a cigarette to the other party.
"Grandpa, we are going to the village to thank that old Nanggua. Can you show us the way?"
"Oh? Your relative doesn't know the way?"
"She has something to do and left first. It's just us sister and brother and my wife."
"Oh~"
The black-faced old man looked at Li Ye, nodded, got into Li Ye's small car, and went all the way to Xigou Village.
Arriving in the village, Li Ye didn't go directly to find old Nanggua, but first went to the village brigade and found the village head.
Sister Li Yue made her identity clear, sales manager of Pengcheng Factory No. 7, senior management of Fenghua Clothing, and donated 300 yuan to the village primary school on the spot, and vaguely revealed that her own man was a section chief of the Central Selection Department in Beijing.
In this way, everyone in the Xigou brigade was enthusiastic. The family members of the cadres of the Beijing ministries and commissions are five levels away from the village brigade. How can they not be entertained well?
But Li Yue didn't seek entertainment, just expressed gratitude to Uncle and Aunt of the old Chen family, because the other party had been sweeping the grave for her grandfather for these years.
"Oh, old Nanggua... old Chen is a good person in our village, a solid person, I will lead you there."
The people in the village brigade led Li Yue and Li Ye's couple to find old Nanggua, and shouted at the door: "Old Chen, the child of the old Fu family is here to thank you."
"Who? Old Fu family?"
A short and thin man walked out of the house, and didn't think clearly for a while, but when he saw Li Yue, he was stunned.
"Are you... Hongying's child? Are you Xiao Yue?"
"Eh, Uncle recognizes me?"
"I don't recognize you~"
Old Chen slapped his thigh, his eyes filled with tears: "In 1962, your mother brought you back and gave me half a bag of grain. If it weren't for that half bag of grain, our whole family would have..."
Li Yue realized that why old Chen had been pressing grave paper for her grandfather for twenty years.
Simple farmers may not be literate, but they understand the truth that a drop of water should be repaid by a spring.
As for why old Chen recognized Li Yue, it must be because sister looks like Fu Guiru. Otherwise, in 1962, sister didn't know if she could walk, so how could she recognize her appearance?
"Old Chen, don't talk about your own affairs? People are comrades from Beijing, bringing their younger brother and younger sister-in-law back to pay respects to the ancestors, and specifically came to thank you after hearing about your persistence in sweeping the grave for Comrade Old Fu..."
The people in the village brigade still have a level. Seeing old Chen crying, they hit the assist and winked on the side, thinking "Your old Chen family's ancestral grave is smoking green smoke, you must seize this opportunity!"
But old Chen, this kind of honest person, didn't know those bends. Hearing Li Yue working in Beijing, he just kept saying good while crying.
"Good, really good, you all went to work in Beijing, God has eyes, good people will always have good rewards..."
Li Yue looked at the house of old Chen's family, which only had a brick wall foundation of half a meter, the rest were all earth walls, and the roof was still a wheat straw roof. It seemed that the days were very average.
Looking into the house again, it was dark and couldn't be seen clearly, and the windows were pasted with white paper instead of glass. It seemed that the days were very average.
Li Yue moved her side, and said warmly: "Uncle Chen, do you have any difficulties at home? If you have difficulties, tell me, I will arrange a job with a salary for you..."
Dongshan Province is one of the main bases of Pengcheng Factory No. 7. Li Yue arranging a job on the sales channel is really not a waste of effort.
But old Chen waved his hand repeatedly: "No need, really no need, we have lived very well these years, eating steamed buns every meal, very good."
"..."
The people in the village brigade were speechless, but some people are just stupid, stupid that even the ancestral grave smoking green smoke can't save.
The black-faced old man who followed Li Ye pointed to the honest boy behind old Chen.
"You old Nanggua, you only care about yourself living well, don't you care about your children and grandchildren? Your son is still a bachelor until now. Find a job with a salary, isn't it easy to find a wife?"
Old Chen was stunned, but still shook his head: "My son is still young, he will definitely be able to find a wife in the future. Finding a wife is the matter of parents, how can I trouble others?"
The honest boy behind old Chen also smiled and said: "Hmm, I am very good~, I can marry a wife."
"..."
The people around were anxious, but old Chen's family didn't have half a thought of taking advantage.
Li Yue smiled helplessly: "Uncle Chen, I will write you a note. If the younger brother in the family changes his mind in the future, just go to Fenghua Clothing in the Island City to mix a meal."
"Ah? This, this, this..."
Old Chen couldn't react for a while, but Li Yue had already written the note and stuffed it into his hand.
After seeing old Chen's family, Li Yue and Li Ye said goodbye and left. The people in the village brigade tried to keep them again and again, but were also declined by Li Yue, just leaving a sentence—we will come again next Qingming Festival.
"Oh my, Fenghua Clothing~, the Fenghua Clothing that advertises on TV all day, is old Chen's child going to work there? Then this life will not worry about having no clothes to wear?"
"It's really stupid people have stupid blessings! A matter of burning a few pieces of paper a year, actually exchanged for a job of eating imperial grain. Which god did he worship?"
"Beijing god, right? You didn't see the 'Jing' character on the license plate of the small car?"
"..."
The people in Xigou Village all stood at the entrance of the village, watching Li Yue's car leave, and didn't disperse for a long time.
In this era without mobile phone videos, they can chatter about this matter for a month.
When Li Ye had been gone for twenty minutes, two bicycles suddenly came to the east end of the village, and six or seven people were loaded in front and back, shaking and rushing here like an overloaded big truck.
"Hey, where are our relatives of the old Fu family? Old Zhu, where are our relatives?"
"Your relatives?"
Old Zhu of the village brigade smiled and mocked: "I said Fu San, this relative can't be recognized indiscriminately. If you recognize others, others don't recognize you, that's shameful!"
"..."
"No, old Zhu, what do you mean? Our nephew finally came once, how can we not recognize it?"
"..."
The black-faced old man responsible for watching the slope looked at the impatient people, full of disdain and contempt.
Do you think only your nephew came to pay respects to the ancestors?
That powerful sister is also back.
The rural men in the past worked in the fields all day, and didn't pay attention to maintenance, generally old very fast.
Don't look at Fu Guiru calling this black-faced old man "Uncle," Li Ye calling him "Grandpa," in fact, this old man is only in his early forties this year, and is of the same generation as Fu Guiru.
Fu Guiru didn't recognize him, can he not recognize Fu Guiru?
Fu Guiru didn't return to the village, isn't that not recognizing you few distant relatives?
A group of short-sighted fools.
Li Ye finished paying respects to the ancestors, which was considered to have fulfilled Fu Guiru's wish, and returned to Beijing the next day.
The marriage leave in this era is very short. He exceeded the leave when he went to the Island City, but he called the office and told Wu Kezhang Qingyi, and it would be finished after returning to make up the leave note.
But when he wrote the leave note and arrived at the unit on the third day, Wu Qingyi gave Li Ye a thought education.
"I said Xiao Li! This is a regular national unit, not a grass-roots team in a village in the countryside. There are strict relevant regulations. You just got married when you started working, and you didn't return on time. Is there still an organization in your eyes? Is there still discipline?"
"..."
Li Ye also experienced this kind of thing in his previous life, so he said neither humble nor arrogant: "Wu Kezhang, my hometown is not local. After getting married, I have to go back to pay respects to the ancestors according to traditional customs, right?"
"And I called you halfway to continue asking for leave, and you agreed..."
"Is that what you call continuing to ask for leave?"
Wu Kezhang interrupted Li Ye rudely and scolded severely: "You called me to ask for leave from thousands of miles away. Even if I didn't approve it, could you still fly back like Sun Monkey?"
"Besides, you are a party member, but you engage in this kind of feudal superstition, and abandon work for the sake of paying respects to ancestors. Is work important, or is feudal superstition important?"
Woni Malai~
Although Li Ye has the workplace experience of his previous life and has a certain ability to endure, did he toss so much after transmigration just to repeat the grievances of his previous life?
So Li Ye said very calmly: "What's wrong with being a party member? Can't a party member pay respects to ancestors? Wu Kezhang, you can forget your ancestors, but I can't forget them."
"..."
"Bang~"
"What are you saying? Say it to me again!"
Wu Qingyi was stunned for a full five seconds after being retorted by Li Ye, and then stood up and patted the table.
"You can forget your ancestors, I can't forget them!"
No problem, I will satisfy you, repeat it eight times without being cowardly.
"You..."
"Hey hey hey hey, don't quarrel, don't quarrel!"
On the eve of Wu Qingyi's rampage, Old Ding stood out, laughing while smoothing things over: "Xiao Li, you misunderstood Wu Kezhang's meaning."
"His meaning is that you see that the holiday is about to be exceeded, so you should come to him to discuss, let him arrange a business trip for you, and then it won't affect your salary."
"In this regard, you have to ask Wu Kezhang for advice. Wu Kezhang is best at this kind of thing. You still have a lot to learn. Young people should be modest..."
"..."
The supply section was completely quiet.
Wu Qingyi stared, looking at the laughing Old Ding and the cold Li Ye, wishing he could turn into a monster in Journey to the West and swallow this pair of master and apprentice in one bite.
【What do you master and apprentice mean? Are you scolding me with yin and yang?】
But Wu Qingyi really couldn't scold Old Ding on the spot, because he was indeed very good at doing private things in the name of business trips, and he had done it many times before. If he really tore it up with Old Ding, it would inevitably be a mess.
