Lu Nianzi listened to Ye Ming's answer happily and said happily: "Little Ye Zi, as long as you are determined, you can definitely do it. Let me tell you the whole story first: the ancestral home of our Lu family. , is not in Xijing, but in Lujiazhuang, Baiyuan Town, N County, more than 300 kilometers away from Xijing. My grandfather was born here. Therefore, after my grandfather passed away, in accordance with his will, my father transferred his The ashes were buried in the Lu family's ancestral grave in Lujiazhuang. In three days' time, that is, October 4, it will be my grandfather's eightieth birthday. According to our customs, after the death of an elder, if he is eighty or ninety years old, On birthdays, children should go back to offer sacrifices and visit their graves.
"However, my grandfather is the only son of my father. Although my father is on the National Day holiday these days, you also know that as a provincial party committee secretary, he basically does not have any holidays. Moreover, on October 4th, He has to preside over several meetings a day, so it is impossible for him to return to Lujiazhuang to pay homage to my grandfather's grave. Your brother-in-law and I are also going abroad these days and cannot return to Lujiazhuang.
"So, after much thought, I found that you are in the northwest right now, not far from Lujiazhuang. Moreover, in my eyes, you are just like my biological brother. Therefore, I want you to take the place of our Lujiazhuang." Children and grandchildren, how about a trip to Lujiazhuang on October 4th to pay homage to my grandfather’s grave?"
In fact, Lu Nianzi's suggestion was made by Secretary Lu who instructed her to tell Ye Ming.
It turned out that Secretary Lu knew that his late father's biggest regret when he died was that he did not have a biological grandson to inherit the Lu family's incense. I have long had an idea in my heart: when my father reaches his eightieth birthday, he must let Ye Ming return to Lujiazhuang and, as his grandson, pay homage to his father who is under the Nine Springs. This will solve the biggest problem that the old man never realized during his lifetime. wish.
Therefore, he secretly told Lu Nianzi: In the name of sworn brother-in-law, he must arrange for Ye Ming to go to Lujiazhuang and let him pay homage to his grandfather as his grandson. Moreover, in Ye Ming's memorial, he must include the words His name was changed to Lu Ming, and Ye Ming was asked to kneel down three times and kowtow to his grandfather three times and offer three sacrifices and fruits according to the sacrificial rules of Lujiazhuang, so that the grandfather under Jiuquan knew that it was his own grandson who came to offer incense and sacrifice to him. Going to the grave...
At that time, Lu Nianzi also joked that Secretary Lu was the secretary of the provincial party committee, but at heart he was an "old antique" with serious feudal superstitions. As a result, these jokes attracted a criticism from Secretary Lu, saying that she was in her thirties. She was many years old and still ignorant, and warned her: This is not feudal superstition, but filial piety. Filial piety emphasizes sincerity and respect. The so-called "respect the ancestors, respect the ancestors heartily, burn incense and burn incense with intention". It is the principle of respecting the ancestors and being devoted to the ancestors...
When Ye Ming heard that Lu Nianzi said that he wanted him to go to the grave of Secretary Lu's father on behalf of the descendants of the Lu family, he couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Sister, this...is this appropriate? I rushed into the Lujiazhuang alone. Why?" Go tell the people in your tribe, what if they ask me about my origins and find out that I am a fake? As far as I know, many places take this kind of thing very seriously. If I am a foreigner, If you go to pay homage to Grandpa Lu and visit his grave, will the people in your clan have any opinions or opinions about Secretary Lu?"
Lu Nianzi said confidently: "Xiao Zizi, don't worry about this, I tell you: before you go to Lujiazhuang, you first go to the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Li Wu'an of Luchuan City. Secretary Li turns out to be my father in the ministry. Secretary at that time, he, like Xu Lizhong, was a trusted old subordinate of my father. He himself was from Xijiang Province. However, after he was going to take a local post, my father asked him where he wanted to go, and he answered without hesitation. : He wanted to work in my father’s hometown. He also explained: If he goes to the chief’s hometown, he can take care of the responsibilities of his children and grandchildren. He can visit my grandfather’s grave during Qingming Festival, and he can also visit my grandfather’s grave on his deathbed. You can go to Lujiazhuang to offer sacrifices and visit the grave.
"At that time, my father was very surprised and very satisfied with what he said, so he first arranged for Li Wu'an to become the mayor of Luchuan City, because n county was under the jurisdiction of Luchuan City. Three years later, my father Helped him become the secretary of the Luchuan Municipal Party Committee. Therefore, if you go to Lujiazhuang to worship my grandfather this time, you must first find Secretary Li Wuan. He used to go to Lujiazhuang more than twice a year, once for Qingming Festival and once for It is the day when my grandfather has his birthday. Therefore, he is very familiar with Lujiazhuang, and all our Lu family members also know him. As long as Secretary Li Wuan takes you there to offer sacrifices, you will definitely be warmly welcomed by the villagers. "
Ye Ming knew that as a cadre of Tianjiang Province, if he could replace Secretary Lu to pay homage to his father's grave, it would be a supreme honor. Not everyone could go if they wanted to, so he was quite excited inside. , quickly expressed his position and said: "Sister, since you have made all arrangements, I will definitely go to Lujiazhuang on October 4th to pay homage to grandpa's grave. Don't worry: in my mind, you are like my biological sister. , since I’m in the northwest now, I should pay my respects to Grandpa Deer.”
Lu Nianzi smiled happily and said: "Little Ye Zi, there is one more thing I want to tell you: since you are going to pay homage to grandpa on behalf of our Lu family, in the memorial text, you must change your name to Lu Ming, this is logical and etiquette, you should be fine with this."
Ye Ming agreed and said: "Sister, this is no problem. Look, my son's surname is Lu now, and his name is Lu Benben. Of course I can also change my name to Lu Ming, hahaha."
Lu Nianzi said with satisfaction: "It's better if you think like this. You should be careful when playing outside. The weather is getting cooler now. You should keep warm and don't catch a cold."
"Okay, thank you sister for your concern."
The call lasted a long time. After he hung up, Chen Mengqi had already finished taking a shower. Wearing only her nightgown, she quietly walked to the bedside, got into the bed, and then felt shy and expectant. , waiting for Ye Ming to take a shower and go to bed...
Ye Ming turned his head and glanced at Chen Mengqi on the bed, and saw that she had covered her body with a quilt, but her hands were exposed. Her black hair was spread on the pillow, her cheeks were as red as fire, and she was speaking lovingly. His eyes were looking at him, full of expectation and desire. He couldn't help but feel something in his heart. Zhang Yan's joke suddenly came to his mind again: "Even if you want to moisturize Qiqi Yulu, you have to do it first." Good precautions, don't let Qiqi get pregnant."
