The days at home pass slowly and quickly.

As usual, after celebrating the New Year, Chen Zhihe proposed to go to Jiangcheng in advance on the grounds that he had something to do.

This time, it was really not his excuse. The company had accumulated a lot of things during this period. Although he, the chairman, did not need to deal with many things, every one of them was a big deal.

But this time, Dad Chen refused.

The reason is also very simple. He feels that Chen Zhihe has grown up and should take on some of the things that a new generation of the Chen family should take on.

For example, go to "send light" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

This is a tradition in the Dabie Mountains. Chen Zhihe has known it since he was a child. He used to think it existed all over the country, but later he learned that it was unique to the Dabie Mountains.

The fire on the first day of the lunar month and the lamp on the 15th day of the lunar month.

Send light, which means sending lights. The general meaning is to light a beacon for ancestors to return home.

To put it simply, on the fifteenth day, you go to the graves of your ancestors, burn paper, and light a candle in front of the grave until it burns out.

Chen Zhihe only participated when he was very young. At that time, he was just joining in the fun. Later, when he went to school, he felt that it was a long way and he never followed.

In my impression, giving gifts has gradually become an activity for adults.

Chen Zhihe did not refuse Father Chen's request.

Since the family knew that he had a career, Chen Zhihe went alone to pay New Year's greetings this year. Father Chen felt like he was abdicating his position in favor of others.

Chen Zhihe did not have this kind of experience in his previous life, but when he thought of his white-haired parents in another world giving birth to black-haired parents, Chen Zhihe felt that he could only make up for this shortcoming in this life.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The ancestral graves of the Chen family are not located in the same place. The graves of those who are close to each other, such as Chen Zhihe’s grandparents and great-grandparents, are near the house in his hometown. They were finished in the morning.

Those who are far in seniority are very far away. Not only are they older, but they are also farther apart.

Most of the Chen Zhihe can’t name them, and they don’t know which generation of ancestors their tombs belong to. Some of them are not even known to Chen’s father, but they only know that they are the ancestral tombs of the Chen family.

Among them is an ancestral grave, located on the mountain opposite Chen Zhihe's hometown. It looks like it is halfway up the mountain, but there are only forest trails, and it takes at least two or three hours to climb up.

In line with the principle of first far away and then near, they sent light to each place. By the time the father and son arrived at the last ancestral grave on the opposite mountain, it was already afternoon.

There were thick bushes in front of the grave, so Father Chen took out the hatchet in the basket and quickly cleared a clearing.

After taking out the prepared paper money, Chen's father thought for a moment, handed the paper to Chen Zhihe, and said, "You do it."

Chen Zhihe silently took the paper money, imitated what Chen's father had done before, drew a circle on the ground, lit the paper money and placed it in the circle.

After the paper money was burned out, Chen Zhihe lit a candle and placed it in the shelter of the tombstone.

Then, he took a few steps back, clasped his hands together, and kowtowed three times.

Father Chen silently watched the series of actions completed by Chen Zhihe and nodded with satisfaction.

After standing by the tomb for a while and observing that there was no risk of fire, the father and son began to walk back down the mountain.

Chen Zhihe, who was walking behind, looked at Father Chen's stooped body as he came down the mountain, and suddenly said: "Dad, when will you retire?"

Father Chen was stunned for a moment, then he held onto a tree nearby and said, "It's early, what's wrong?"

Chen Zhihe thought carefully and said, "How about you resign?"

Father Chen almost didn't react. He stared and was about to say something. He suddenly thought that his son was now a billionaire. He shook his head and said: "Being a human being, you have to start well and end well. Besides, I have been a teacher all my life. If you resign, you will let me

What are you doing, eating at home and waiting to die?"

Father Chen continued: "Do you know why I asked you to come with me this time?"

Before Chen Zhihe could answer, Father Chen asked and answered himself: "On the one hand, now that you have become successful, these things should be handed over to you. I will bring you here to know the way this time. I will not be able to climb the mountain in the future. These things

It's yours; on the other hand, the Chen family has become prosperous in your generation, and I originally planned to bring you here after the college entrance examination, but the time was not right, and I just made it this time."

"People in the town say that the reason why you became the county's top scholar in liberal arts is because of the smoke coming out of the Chen family's ancestral grave. This somewhat negates your efforts."

"But nothing can be done again. We are all intellectuals and shouldn't say this. But is there really no element of luck in it?"

"To say that ancestors protect you is not necessarily feudal superstition."

Chen Zhihe remained silent, was he lucky?

That's so lucky. If rebirth isn't lucky, then nothing is lucky.

Thinking about the ancestors who were worshiping today, Chen Zhihe felt that maybe the blessing of his ancestors really existed.

Seeing that Chen Zhihe was silent, Father Chen continued: "You can be considered successful at a young age, but remember not to lose money just because you have money. Wealth and honor can be relied on, but not relied on. You must understand this truth."

Chen Zhihe nodded and said, "Dad, I understand what you are saying, and I know what is appropriate."

Father Chen nodded and said, "Just know what's appropriate. I can't help you with anything, but as long as I'm here, you don't have to worry about family matters."

Until they got home, neither father nor son said anything.

However, Chen Zhihe knew that his father, who had rarely communicated with him, must have been thinking about it for a long time when he said this to him for the first time.

And there are some words that only his own father would say.

…

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Zhihe left 100,000 yuan for his parents and hurried back to Jiangcheng.

Not only was Lei Jun urging him, Liu Chengan was also vaguely hinting at when he would go to Yanjing.

But first he had to report to school and register.

Fortunately, the reporting procedure is very simple, just go to the hospital office and get a stamp.

404 Others came earlier, and Chen Zhihe was the last to arrive. When he returned to the dormitory, several people were in the dormitory, each sitting in front of the computer.

"Brother Chen, you're a little late this year." Seeing Chen Zhihe come in, Xu Xiaoran glanced at him and then turned to stare at the computer.

Seeing how serious they were, Chen Zhihe came up and took a look.

Oops!

They are all playing games.

The familiar music and pictures are exactly the League of Legends that just landed on the Chinese server last year.

Chen Zhihe also played this game in his previous life. I also watched Lei Jun play on the American server before. Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

Before he could speak, Chen Wen raised his head, looked at Chen Zhihe and said, "Brother Chen, this game is really fun. We can also have four rows in the dormitory. Please download one quickly."

Chen Zhihe glanced at Chen Wen's computer screen and saw that his score was 0/7, which was almost as good as a ghost.

Seeing Chen Wen's excited look, Chen Zhihe glanced at his mouth, he was really good at it and fun-loving.

However, he is not the only one who is outrageous. Xu Xiaoran has become a ghost, so He Linsen is still a normal person.

However, he still turned on his computer and downloaded the game.

It can be regarded as a reminder of the past.
