Chapter 307: Repairing the Ancestral Tomb, It's Not Good for the Younger Generation to Be Too A
Chapter 307 Repairing the ancestral tomb, it is not good for the younger generation to be too successful...
Nowadays, everyone says that the Chinese New Year is boring and has lost its flavor...
But Qin Han thinks that is not the case. The month of the New Year is different from the beginning of the month. Merchants are busy organizing activities to sell goods, and consumers are lingering on major e-commerce platforms and live broadcast rooms all day long, buying, buying, and buying.
Food, drink, clothing and daily necessities.
Buy everything!
As the new year approaches,
Some people go get their hair done, get their nails done, and some people go buy cars...
The family started buying meat, tofu, steamed buns, fried meatballs, made dumplings, and prepared dumpling fillings. They also bought candy, fruits, peanuts, melon seeds, firecrackers, fireworks, and so on.
all above,
Isn’t it all about the New Year atmosphere?
Normally, there is definitely no such atmosphere and people won’t buy so many things!
Other than that,
During the Chinese New Year, you will meet many people you don’t see at other times. Some of them you can only see once a year and talk to them for ten minutes or so.
Qin Han felt that this was also the flavor of the New Year!
But this year's Spring Festival,
Qin Han's family is different from usual. This is not referring to the money, but because there are two more beautiful girls in the family this year!
Since Li Zhishan and Tang Tang came,
Miao Lan's smile never disappeared from her face. She was smiling all the time. Not only that, she was also full of energy, as if she had endless energy. She said she wanted to make fried meatballs for Shanshan and Tangtang, and then she said she wanted to make braised beef for Shanshan and Tangtang, and she also said she wanted to buy some seafood for Shanshan and Tangtang...
It was so passionate that Qin Han felt jealous.
……
In the blink of an eye, it is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is time to post
In previous years, Qin Changqing was responsible for pasting the Spring Festival couplets at Qin Han's house. This year, it was handed over to Qin Han, who took Li Zhishan and Tang Tang to start pasting the Spring Festival couplets.
It is very simple to paste Spring Festival couplets. Just paste them on the left and right, then paste the door paintings, and finally climb up the ladder to paste them opposite each other.
Done!
But Li Zhishan and Tang Tang said no! !
One of them held a ruler and the other held a piece of chalk. Qin Changqing and Miao Lan were both teachers, so they always had plenty of chalk at home.
Tang Tang was responsible for measuring the height, and Li Zhishan was responsible for drawing marks with chalk.
The positions of the Spring Festival couplets on the left and right sides must be kept consistent in height, and the spacing between them should be the same.
The same applies to door paintings, which should be symmetrical.
This made Qin Han speechless. "It's almost enough. Why are you so serious about it? Are you bored?"
"No! This is the first time we're putting up Spring Festival couplets, we have to take it seriously, don't you think, Tangtang?" Li Zhishan turned to look at Tang Tang and asked.
Tang Tang nodded repeatedly, her face full of seriousness and solemnity, "Yes, it has to be pasted properly!~"
Qin Han had no choice but to let it go.
As a result, the three of them were busy for three or four hours on something that should have been done in half an hour.
It was already noon when we finished pasting the Spring Festival couplets. After a quick meal, the whole family got on the Maybach and headed straight for the county town.
What are you doing?
Pick up the car!
After learning that his son had now become a billionaire, Qin Changqing no longer refused to buy him a car.
That afternoon, they went for a tour of the county town.
Since he was going to buy a car for his father, Qin Han let Qin Changqing choose by himself, wanting to respect his opinion. But after looking around, Qin Changqing said he should buy a Tiguan.
He has driven a sedan all his life and wants to drive an SUV.
The quality of Volkswagen cars is good and they are very practical and durable.
Qin Han was no longer calm...
What?
Tiguan? ?
The cars your son gave to his employees were all Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Tesla, but he bought a Tiguan for his father?
If God knew about this, wouldn’t he send down lightning to strike me to death?
"Dad, forget about the Tiguan...let's buy a better car!"
"The Tiguan is pretty good, with good quality and good looks, it's pretty good!"
"Why don't we go to Zhengcheng? There are Porsches and Land Rovers there. Let's go and have a look. How about I buy you a whole Land Rover?"
"Land Rover???"
Qin Changqing was startled, then quickly shook his head, "No, no, it's too high-profile. If I drive that car, everyone will know that I'm rich. Driving it to school will not have a good impact either."
"What's wrong with that? We didn't steal or rob, so why can't we buy it?"
"Don't buy, don't buy!"
Qin Changqing firmly opposed it.
resignedly,
Qin Han had no choice but to follow his advice, and after some thought, he decided to just buy a Volvo.
This car is also a luxury brand, but it is very low-key!
People who know cars know that this is a good car, but people who don’t know cars ignore it…
The most important thing is that this car is very safe.
Compared with Volvo, no other car dares to say that its safety is definitely better than Volvo.
But there was no Volvo in the county town, so they finally went to Zhengcheng again. At Qin Han's strong request, they finally bought a black CX90·2.0-liter turbocharged + electric supercharged·299 horsepower·mild hybrid for Qin Changqing.
Even with the top configuration, the landing price is just over 50.
Qin Han thought it was a piece of cake and paid the full amount directly. His carefree attitude made Qin Changqing and Miao Lan's eyelids twitch. They finally realized in their hearts that their son was different from before. He was a wealthy man with a lot of money!
I paid, but the car was not available that day.
It needs to be transferred from a nearby city and it takes two days to wait.
Today they went to the county town to pick up the car.
When Qin Changqing drove a brand new and shiny Volvo CX90 back to the village in the afternoon, it once again attracted a wave of onlookers and discussions. Older people didn't know much about cars, but it was the New Year and all the young people who had gone out to work had returned.
Many of them are knowledgeable about cars. After recognizing it as a Volvo CX90, a group of people began to tell people around them how awesome this car is and how great its safety performance is...
After the new car was brought back,
Qin Changqing would always go to wipe the car, or sit in the car and say confidently: I'm learning. I'm not familiar with anything about this new car. I need to understand it, otherwise I'll be at a loss when it's time to drive.
In fact, he just wanted to explore and see more.
If Qin Han wasn't afraid of being embarrassed, he guessed his father would want to sleep in the car at night.
……
After posting the couplets, it is New Year’s Eve.
The custom here is to visit the graves on New Year's Eve, offer sacrifices and burn paper for the ancestors, which is to say wishing them a happy new year in advance.
In addition,
When burning paper and kowtowing at the grave, tell the ancestors about the family situation, such as who got admitted to university this year, who got married this year, who had a baby, etc.
After chatting, people usually pray for the ancestors to bless their descendants with a safe home, smooth work, abundant wealth, good health, etc.
After saying that, he kowtowed.
Afterwards, firecrackers and cannons were set off.
After visiting the graves, we went home.
In the past, Qin and Han did not believe in these things, or did not believe them particularly.
But now, he doesn't think so.
If even such an outrageous and heaven-defying existence as the system can appear, then what else is impossible?
Besides, with so many people on this earth, why did the system awaken in me? ?
Maybe it’s because our ancestors saw that I was suffering too much, so they appeared and wanted to help me!
Therefore,
Qin Han specifically asked his mother to prepare more tributes and gold and silver ingots, and burn more for the ancestors when the time comes to show filial piety. When he said this idea, Miao Lan supported it greatly, saying that it was right, and that she specially prepared more this year just to thank the ancestors.
The two people's ideas coincided...
When visiting the grave this year, Qin Han maintained an extremely pious and respectful attitude from beginning to end. He was serious and sincere, especially when he kowtowed, he knelt down and kowtowed loudly.
Everyone present was deeply moved by what they heard... Aunt Wang Meijuan and Aunt Liu Ting even praised Qin Han for his sincerity. Then they said to Qin Wu, Qin He, Qin Wendong and Qin Wanjun that sincerity is the key to success. You are not sincere to your own ancestors, and you still expect them to bless you?
Kowtow again!
then,
Qin Wu, Qin He, Qin Wendong, Qin Wanjun and others had no choice but to kneel down again, and kowtowed a few times with their buttocks sticking out.
When visiting the grave,
Li Zhishan and Tang Tang also went there, but when they arrived they could only watch from a distance and could not go near, let alone kowtow.
Watching Qin Han and others burning paper and kowtowing,
Li Zhishan and Tang Tang were both very envious. They both understood that when they could follow Qin Han to kowtow at the grave, it would mean that they had become real members of the Qin family...
boom--
Crackling-crackling-crackling-crackling-crackling
bang bang-
Firecrackers blasted and the air was filled with smoke.
Qin Han stood there looking at his ancestral grave with a leisurely gaze. When the sound of firecrackers stopped, an idea suddenly popped up in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.
……
"What? You want to repair the ancestral tomb?!"
After hearing Qin Han's words, Qin Changqing, who had just sat down, stood up suddenly. Not only that, he also walked back and forth in the living room.
After walking around twice, he turned around and looked at Qin Han, and said in a deep voice: "Why are you repairing the ancestral tomb?"
"dad!"
Qin Han organized his words and said, "When I went to the grave just now, I saw that the hill behind our ancestral grave has almost become a slope, and there is land all around. Not to mention the mud, the ground is not flat and has many potholes. And the cypress tree on the grave, I looked at it..."
"It's crooked and bare all around."
"It's a bit crude..."
"This is what I think. Now that I have the ability, as a member of the Qin family, I should repair the tombs of our ancestors so that they can live in a more spacious and magnificent place. This is also filial piety. The ancestors will definitely not blame me, right?"
"Of course not!"
Miao Lan interrupted, "They must be so happy that they can't wait to praise you for being a filial and sensible grandson!"
"Dad, what do you think?" Seeing that Qin Changqing didn't say anything, Qin Han asked again.
Qin Changqing pondered for a while before saying, "Renovating the tomb is a good thing, but it is a big deal. We need to plan it carefully and not act rashly. It is different from building a house. So, I will go to your grandfather's place and discuss it with your grandfather, uncle, and uncles."
"Row."
Qin Han nodded and said, "Then let me say one more thing. Dad, when you go there, tell him that you will pay for the tomb repair. This way, my uncles and uncles will feel better. After all, I am overstepping my authority."
"Yes, it's rare that you can think of this."
Qin Changqing laughed heartily, feeling very relieved.
……
I heard Qin Changqing say that he wanted to repair the ancestral tomb after the New Year...
Everyone in the Qin family was stunned, especially Qin Changye and Qin Changfa. They asked in unison: Why are we building a grave when all the responsibilities are reserved?
For this,
Qin Changqing said that Qin Han had become successful now and had made something of himself. He felt that this was all due to the blessing of his ancestors. As a descendant, he should show some appreciation by repairing the tombs of his ancestors. This was also filial piety and was what he should do.
After hearing this explanation,
Qin Changye and Qin Changfa suddenly understood and nodded.
The old man Qin Fugui also nodded and said, "It's fine to repair it. Qin Han has made great progress, so it's what he deserves."
Qin Changqing was very happy to get his father's support. He added, "I will pay for it. When the time comes, my eldest brother and the third brother can help me."
"That won't work!"
"no!"
Unexpectedly, Qin Changye and Qin Changfa both opposed it.
Qin Changye said: "I am the eldest. This is to repair the tombs of our ancestors, so I have to contribute something. How can I just pick up something ready-made?"
"Brother is right. If we don't pay, we must not let our ancestors misunderstand that we are unfilial. We don't have much, but we can still pay a little."
Qin Changfa looked at Qin Changqing and said, "Second brother, you pay the majority, and Big Brother and I will pay the minority."
"This……"
Seeing Qin Changqing's hesitation, Qin Han, who had been silent, immediately said, "I think it's a good idea. This way, we can have the best of both worlds!"
Qin Changqing glanced at him and said, "Okay then... We are all family, so I will say whatever I want. Qin He, Wen Dong, and Wan Jun are all in school and haven't gotten married yet. You are all under a lot of pressure! Just show your love!"
"I know."
Qin Changfa said with a smile: "Second brother, I know you are very rich now, I won't compete with you, I will only give you 10,000 yuan."
"I'll give 10,000 too. What Lao Er said is right. If you want me to give more, I can't afford it..."
Qin Changye laughed and said self-deprecatingly: "Qin He's wedding house hasn't been found yet..."
Saying,
He changed the subject and asked, "Second Brother, how do you plan to repair it? Do you have a plan?"
There is a hammer plan!
Qin Changqing shook his head directly. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Han interrupted him and said, "Uncle, this idea is also temporary. Didn't we go to the grave this morning? My father discussed it with me after we came back from the grave."
“…” Qin Changqing was speechless.
Qin Han smiled again and said, "It's actually very simple. We don't know how to repair it, but there are people who do. Let's find a professional. I'll ask someone to help find a master. He's a professional and knows how to do this."
"If you ask me, since we have finally managed to repair a tomb, we should do it well and make it the best it can be!"
Towards the best???
What is the best???
Qin Fugui, Qin Changye, Qin Changye and others all had the images of the mausoleums of kings, princes, generals and emperors that appeared in TV dramas in their minds...
"How much will that cost?"
Qin Fugui shook his head repeatedly, "That's not necessary. Just do some simple repairs, clear the weeds, plant a few trees, and erect a monument."
"Grandpa, please don't save money for my dad. My dad has a lot of money and can't spend it all. This is a big matter of honoring our ancestors and we can't be careless."
Qin Han smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. Just go and check it out when the time comes. Don't worry about anything else."
Qin Fugui knew very well that this must have been his grandson's idea.
My grandson is capable now and is making great achievements!
"Hahaha...Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Then I won't care about it." Qin Fugui said.
Qin Changqing continued, "Dad, there is one more thing I need to tell you. After the New Year, Qin Han plans to demolish the house on my side and rebuild a new one. He said he wants to build a big country villa. I think the house on this side of the old house is not new, and some places have sunk..."
"Dad, when the time comes, let Qin Han build a villa for you. You won't have to live in a cave anymore. The house will be brighter and you and my mom will live comfortably."
With this remark,
Qin Changye and Qin Changfa are both numb again!
The two of them thought, isn't it a bad thing for the younger generation in this family to be too successful?
This would make them, the elders, seem a bit useless...
Moreover, this is a good thing and they cannot stop it. There is no reason at all. But if they are asked to pay for repairing the old house, they do not have the ability to do so. It is not that they do not have the money, but they each have a big family now, some have children in school, some are married, and they simply do not have much spare money.
"Qin Han has made great progress... Uncle thanks you for your filial piety..."
"Qin Han, Third Uncle thanks you too!"
Qin Changye and Qin Changfa said sincerely.
