Chen Yang walked to the backyard, and his uncle followed him.

He didn't pay attention. He happened to hear his aunt talking about this matter to his mother. He was extremely annoyed and immediately smiled and said, "Aunt, Xiao Min doesn't want to study anymore, so you can ask her to drop out of school first."

The aunt who was talking was suddenly startled, turned her head and looked at Chen Yang in astonishment. After a few seconds, she said, "Do you agree with Xiao Min not studying?"

The little uncle who was full of hope also frowned and was about to speak when he heard Chen Yang shaking his head and saying,

"You must read books. In the past, if you didn't have the conditions, you wouldn't read them if you couldn't afford them. Now there's no shortage of money, so why not read them if you can afford them?"

The third aunt nodded quickly, "That's right, if it weren't for lack of money, Xiaoliang wouldn't have just gone to elementary school. Later, it was hard to find a job when he went out to work."

The uncle was a little confused and looked at Chen Yang blankly, "Then you told her not to read?"

"I'm telling her to stop school first, not to stop her from studying," Chen Yang shook his head and said, "She has no intention of studying at all now. Even if she is forced to go to school, she probably won't be able to learn. She will definitely not be able to learn like this.

OK,

Doesn't she want to do business with you? That's fine. After the Chinese New Year, take her with you when you return to Guangzhou. You can let her help in the store. She will get up at what time you get up every morning.

Get up, she will do whatever you do to move and tally the goods. Anyway, there is only one thing. She will go to work when you go to work, and she will be on duty after you get off work. Let her really experience what it is like to do business!"

When my uncle heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed, "She has never done anything, how can she bear this? No, no, no."

Chen Yang opened his mouth and was about to explain. Fortunately, his aunt spoke at this time,

I saw her grinning and laughing, "Okay, this is a good idea. If she wants to do business, then go and find out whether business is easier or whether studying is more comfortable! If you can't stand doing business, then go back to school."

Go study!"

"Yes, that's it," Chen Yang nodded and smiled, "Only in this way will she know how good it is to study."

Only then did my uncle understand, and he smiled and stopped talking.

Chen Yang also smiled happily,

OK, the next problem has been solved.

The senior Gong Min dropped out of school, which bothered him twice. First, no matter how much he tried to persuade her, Gong Min insisted on dropping out of school. When she finally dropped out, she followed her aunt in the vegetable wholesale business at a stall, and she was still gritting her teeth in the first few days.

I persisted, but in the end I couldn't endure it for even two months. I wiped my tears every day and wanted to go back to study.

But at this time, the aunt disagreed again and angrily insisted that she continue to work hard. After Chen Yang persuaded one person and the other, he finally persuaded the aunt and agreed to let Gong Min go back to study, which was really troublesome.

Seeing that this matter was resolved, the aunt smiled and said while cutting vegetables, "Maybe after this happens, girl Xiao Min can improve her grades. It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."

Just when others were smiling and nodding, Chen Yang poured cold water on them.

"It's easy to catch up in elementary school and junior high school, but it's not that easy to catch up in high school. Even if she is willing to stay a grade, I guess it will be difficult for her to get into college."

Everyone was stunned, and the aunt blurted out, "What should we do?"

"It's simple," Chen Yang said with a smile, "going to college is not the only way to go to college. When she is willing to come back to study, let her take an art class, whether it is music or art, forget about physical education, and just study

That's more tiring than doing business, and she probably can't stand it.

The college entrance examination for art students mainly depends on their art test scores. Generally, as long as they pass the college entrance examination, they can get a good undergraduate degree with any score of 300 or 400 points. When they graduate, who knows whether they are art students or ordinary college entrance examination students. Anyway, they are all admitted under the unified admission system.

, no worse than others.”

This is the advantage of having someone at home who understands the way, and it is also one of the reasons why Chen Yang is so valued in the Wang family. Without him, Gong Minzhen might not be able to return to school, let alone serve as a role model for others later on.

The scenery was glorious.

…

Dinner was served on time at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the family reunion dinner was finished around four-thirty.

After clearing away the dishes, everyone took the black plastic bags placed under the eaves and went together to pay tribute to the grave in the vegetable garden next to the house.

Naturally, it is impossible for a small town like Nanjiang Town to have a cemetery. In the past, when old people passed away, they were taken to the nearby countryside for burial. If it was relevant, there was no need to spend money. If it was not relevant, ask someone to inquire, and the price ranged from three to five hundred to eight hundred.

One thousand yuan can also buy a cemetery, and over time, burial belts of varying sizes will be formed in the countryside.

In the countryside here, it is not uncommon for the yang house and the yin house to be together, but there is also a basic rule, that is, it is better for people to push ghosts than for ghosts to push people. In other words, it doesn't matter if the grave is placed in front of the house or on both sides, but it cannot be placed on either side.

The back of the house is about a dozen meters behind the house. Other than that, there are no restrictions.

Chen Yang's grandparents were buried beside the vegetable garden of his aunt's house. They happened to be on a slope. They sat looking east and west. They were located on a ribbon-shaped burial belt. It didn't have good Feng Shui, but it wasn't a low pit either.

, which can be regarded as quite satisfactory.

Father Chen took apart a large firecracker he bought before and pulled it from his grandfather’s grave to grandma’s grave. Mother Chen opened the paper money in front of his grandfather’s grave. Chen Yang lit a fire and burned incense. At the same time, he burned the paper money.

The lanterns were placed on the grave, and then the family went to the grandfather's grave nearby to repeat this process.

Grandpa's place is much more lively. People from all four families visit the grave here.

After a while of busy work, everyone kowtowed in front of the ancestors' graves in turn, and then quickly left, leaving only Chen's father and three uncles standing there. After everyone walked away a little, everyone lit the firecrackers at the same time.

Crackling...

One whip is noisy enough, but how does it feel when seven or eight whips with thousands of rings are played together?

A group of people hunched their necks and ran outside, not stopping until they were out of the vegetable garden.

After a while, Father Chen and the others also came out. It was only then that today's procedures were all completed.

Then everyone stopped entering the house and scraped the soil from their shoes on the brick foundation of the vegetable garden. They stood outside the door and said hello to the aunt and others before preparing to leave.

At this time, grandma walked out shakily, waving to a group of grandchildren, "Come here, get the new year's money."

Upon hearing this, Gong Kai from his aunt's house quickly ran over and took a small red envelope with a smile.

Xiao Yan grinned and said, "Mother-in-law, it's fifty cents again?"

"Oh, it's a lucky draw." Grandma was not angry and handed over the red envelope with a smile on her face.

Give it to the younger one first and then to the older one. When it was Chen Yang's turn, Chen Yang took it with both hands with a smile and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law, you may live a long life!"

The old lady has no income of her own. Apart from selling some of the vegetables she grows, most of her money is given by the younger generation. However, the old lady also likes to seek good luck, so she always gives 50 cents as a lucky money during the Chinese New Year. In the past, it was too little for Chen Yang when he was a child.

, not even as good as Gong Kai, who is ten years younger than him, so naturally he can’t do it now.

"Okay, live a long life," the old lady smiled from ear to ear, then lowered her voice and asked, "Hey, when will you bring your girlfriend over to show your mother-in-law?"

Chen Yang immediately said, "In two days, I will bring her to give you New Year greetings."

The old lady nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, then my mother-in-law is waiting for you."

Others had already left one after another. Seeing that they couldn't clean the shoes under their feet, Chen's parents and Chen's mother found a few plastic bags and put them on their feet. They also gave Chen Yang two of them because they were afraid of getting the car dirty.

Just when they were about to get in the car and leave, a voice came from outside, "Second brother and second sister-in-law, Yangyang, let's come."

Chen Yang turned around and looked around. It turned out to be his aunt's family. They were also here to give gifts to his grandparents.

Okay, I can't leave for the time being.

Chen Yang walked over and greeted with a smile, "Sister-in-law, little-aunt,"

He casually reached out and patted his cousin on the head, "Xiao Li has grown taller."

Xu Yali pouted, then smiled sweetly, and naturally put her hands on Chen Yang's arm, "Guo Guo."

Looking at the two families chatting happily, Chen Yang felt a sense of emotion in his heart. Of the four brothers and sisters on his father's side, the only one who didn't trick his family was probably the sister-in-law in front of him.

Why use the word "possible"? Because in his impression, his aunt also borrowed money from his sister-in-law, but the time to repay the money was more than ten years earlier than his own. At that time, Chen's parents and Chen's mother came from Guangzhou.

When I was defeated and returned to my hometown, when life was at its most difficult, I would kill him to believe that there was nothing in it.

But fortunately, at least I haven't been cheated directly. At most, my uncle doesn't like the Chen family very much. But this cousin is not bad. She has never changed towards her cousin at any time, even after she got married, she fell into despair.

We are still very close.

Naturally, now was not the time for chatting. After a brief exchange of greetings, Chen Yang drove away through the wind and snow.
