As the village chief, I only raise bugs

Chapter 79 79. Medal
The Guzhai people have a tradition of starting the fifth watch.

Every New Year's Day, every family will wake up at around 05 o'clock and start making dumplings. At about 30:[-], when the first pot of dumplings is ripe and enshrined to the ancestors and the gods of heaven and earth, they start to set off firecrackers and eat dumplings.

This time is the happiest moment for the children.Because there are coins in the dumplings, and every family will pack two, whoever eats them means that he will have good luck for the year, and if the children eat them differently from the lucky money, they don't need to hand them in.

Once they have eaten dumplings at home, they will carry them around: first to their closest relatives, then to those farther away, and finally to the elderly people in the village.

However, there have been some changes in the past two years, that is, there are fewer and fewer people serving dumplings, and they are all delivering glutinous rice balls. After all, glutinous rice balls are easy to put and convenient.

There is an old man in this family, one bag will be given away, and two bags will be given away if the old couple are both alive.

Until the Lantern Festival, many households have glutinous rice balls for breakfast.

After delivering glutinous rice balls, people would go to Guguan, put incense sticks in front of the old god's tablet, and let him bless the grandchildren and daughters of the family, and then they would stop by to drink.

But this year is different!

After five o'clock, everyone in the village knew that Jiang Chunhua had passed away. Since Jiang Bailei was not at home, Jiang Baixiang took Jiang Chongshan's family to kowtow, asking them to come and help when they had time.

Therefore, before eight o'clock, the shroud was put on, and the mourning hall was set up at home to receive the guests who came to mourn.

But there was one thing that made it difficult for Jiang Baixiang and Jiang Chongshan, that is, they couldn't get in touch with Jiang Bailei.

Originally, Jiang Baixiang had Jiang Bailei's phone number, but after calling, it was prompted that it was an empty number, and the same was true when calling with Jiang Chunhua's mobile phone, and there was no other mobile phone number of Jiang Bailei found in Jiang Chunhua's mobile phone.

It stands to reason that daughters who go out at thirty and the first day of the junior high school are not allowed to come to their mother's house, but since this is a trivial matter, this rule has to be put behind.

From nine o'clock, those daughters who Jiang Chongshan called old aunt, old aunt, aunt, and sister went out one after another came to pay their respects.

No niece!

Because the entire Guzhai, except for Wei Changjun, belongs to Jiang Chongshan's younger generation.

At around eight o'clock, a group of three good cars came to Guzhai and stopped at the basketball court, because the road going in was a bit narrow and the cars couldn't get through.

As one of the well-known guests, Zhao Jiaming greeted him first. He guessed that this was an old girl who went out a few years ago, because he had never heard of anyone with such a good car. Even if everyone earned money last year, the car they bought They are all domestic or joint venture cars worth around [-] yuan.

The first car to get off was a young man, Zhao Jiaming was taken aback, and tentatively called out: "Bai Lei?"

"Brother Jiaming, it's me!" The young man said with a smile, and then took out a cigarette, "Are you back for the Chinese New Year?"

"Bai Lei, go home quickly, your grandfather has passed away!" Zhao Jiaming did not take the good cigarette that Jiang Bai Lei handed over, "What's wrong with you? Why is that number empty?"

Jiang Bailei was stunned. He didn't hear what Zhao Jiaming said later, and he didn't even notice that the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.

All he could hear was this sentence: Bai Lei, your grandpa has passed away!
Grandpa passed away?
Jiang Bailei rushed home very impolitely, without saying hello to Zhao Jiaming.

Zhao Jiaming also understood Jiang Bailei's mood, so he didn't care about it, but looked at the other people getting off the car.

A young and beautiful woman got off the car driven by Jiang Bailei. She looked at Jiang Bailei who rushed out with some doubts: "Hi, what's the matter?"

When he came, Jiang Bailei told him that people in the village are relatively close, so if she doesn't know what to call her, don't call her, and if she gets the wrong name, she will be laughed at.

Hearing her asking himself in Mandarin, Zhao Jiaming, who had been away for many years, hurriedly said in Mandarin: "Bai Lei's grandfather passed away this morning."

The people who got off from the other two cars were stunned when they heard this, especially the four soldiers who got off from the third car.

After they looked at each other, a soldier who seemed to be a leader stepped forward: "Is it Mr. Jiang Chunhua?"

"Yes." Zhao Jiaming nodded, "Since we are all friends of Bai Lei, then I will take you to his house!"

When they got home, the group saw Jiang Bailei crying on the bed in the house.

No one in the first five surnames persuaded him, because letting him cry for a while at this time can release his grief.

Seeing that it was almost done, Jiang Baixiang patted him on the shoulder: "Bai Lei, fourth master is eighty-two this year, which is considered a long life, so don't be sad anymore, now, you follow me to deal with fourth master's funeral, Reassure him too!"

Jiang Bailei raised his head with tears in his eyes: "I listen to you, brother!"

As he said that, he came to the altar, looked at the kind smile in the photo of the fourth master: "Master, I'm back!"

After finishing speaking, he knelt down and respectfully kowtowed four times: "Master, I haven't contacted you in the past few months because your grandson is on a mission. This time, your grandson didn't embarrass you or the Jiang family." , did not embarrass Guzhai!"

With that said, he took out a small bag from his pocket, and took out the medal from the inside!

"First class work!" Cui Chaoyang, one of the intellectuals, exclaimed!

Everyone looked forward one after another. Although most people couldn't see what this pile of medals represented, most people had heard of first-class merit.

Under normal circumstances, only those who sacrificed can get the first-class merit medal, and the first-class merit medal alive is very rare!
Ignoring everyone's stares, Jiang Bailei turned his head and took a look. The young and beautiful woman looked at him in a tacit understanding, and then walked forward.

After kneeling with Jiang Bailei, Jiang Bailei said: "Master, this is your granddaughter-in-law, Zheng Xiaobei. You have seen the photos. I will bring her here for you to meet. She will be our family from now on."

Zheng Xiaobei said crisply: "Grandpa, I am Bai Lei's lover Zheng Xiaobei."

The onlookers whispered one after another!

Jiang Bailei, who hadn't come back for a year, brought Jiang Chunhua a bunch of medals and a beautiful granddaughter-in-law when he came back, but Jiang Chunhua couldn't see it.

This can't help but make people sigh!

Call Jiang Chunhua lucky. He left a long time early. Call him unlucky. His nephew, grandson and great-grandson are all filial, and his grandson and great-grandson are both such capable people.

The four soldiers walked forward, took off their hats and bowed to the spirit seat, and said: "Mr. Jiang, we are people around Mr. Yang. We came here today to bring you the relics of Mr. Jiang Chunrong, and we want to tell you that Mr. Jiang Chunrong Mister was buried in the Beijing Martyrs Cemetery!"

"what?"

Everyone looked sideways: "Jiang Chunrong?"

Isn't Jiang Chunrong buried in the Municipal Martyrs Cemetery?How did you go to Beijing?

Even Jiang Zhichao, Wang Chunnian, He Chunliang, Xue Chunquan, Xue Langchao, Wang Fengchao, and He Pingchao, the elders among the top five surnames all stood up one after another!

They all knew that Jiang Chunrong's tomb in the city's martyrs cemetery contained only his military jug, because he didn't see his body when cleaning up the battlefield!
