Soon the New Year's Eve day arrived, and in the early morning Old Man Lu took his three sons, a group of grandsons and other clan members to worship at the ancestral hall.

The female relatives at home are preparing the food for the New Year today by themselves, and the little maids are also preparing their own New Year ingredients. Everyone is busy with their own affairs.

Several pigs were killed a few days ago. The tribesmen who fled with them and the people who were rescued from the bandit dens gave some as gifts, as well as those who usually performed well in the workshops and fields. They also gave away a lot, so not much was left, but early in the morning, the Lu family brothers still carried pig heads and some tribute fruits to honor their ancestors.

After arriving, we started to sweep first, and then started the worship ceremony. The men were there while sweeping, and when the worship actually started, the women came.

The worship ceremony was not very grand, but everyone worshiped sincerely. After it was over, Old Man Lu said: "Now that we have settled in Jingzhou, we cannot leave our ancestors behind. I’m in Changzhou, so I decided to take a trip to Changzhou with me after the Chinese New Year and move the tombs of my ancestors here. What do you think?”

This is a very large family. , moving the tomb is also a big project. The remaining people alone are not enough, and some additional people have to be hired to help.

Of course, this is just Old Man Lu’s idea. We still have to listen to everyone’s opinions on whether we should move or not.

"Uncle, this is what we should do. Just make your decision and we will listen to you!"

Xiao Zhuzi's father, Lu Daping, agreed, and so did the others. Although they didn't say this openly, everyone already regarded Old Man Li as the new clan leader, so naturally he would do whatever he said.

Besides, they are living a good life now, so there is no reason for their ancestors to suffer in Changzhou. There are also those people who have become extinct and have no one to worship them. As long as they are still alive, they cannot be abandoned. Don't care.

Mr. Lu looked at everyone’s reactions and nodded with satisfaction. Fortunately, those who followed along this way were all kind-hearted people. There were not many top-notch people in Changzhou before, but they were all on the road to escape. Although it is a pity that they are gone, it is still easy to get along with the remaining people nowadays. Everyone helps each other and there is no conflict.

"Then the matter is settled. You go back and discuss it. Just send one representative from each family. We will hire others to help. Our family will pay for the money."

They are all kind-hearted people who are easy to get along with. The Lu family has a good life and they don't care about such a small amount of money. It is okay to suffer appropriate losses. After all, not all members of the clan can afford so much money.

Everyone was extremely moved and thanked them repeatedly, but they didn’t want to take advantage of it in vain. After a brief discussion, they decided toThey took out five taels of silver, but there was nothing they could do about the rest, so they had no choice but to trouble the Lu family.

They are all helping the Lu family, and they have saved some money in the past two years. These five taels of silver used to be the expenses of their family for a whole year, but now they earn more, but There are also more pursuits. Many families are preparing to build new houses, and those with children also want to send their children to school. After all this trouble, it is really difficult to come up with five taels of silver.

Old man Lu nodded and did not refuse.

After the worship, everyone went home with their tributes.

During lunch, Old Man Lu said: "In my family, the eldest son and I will go back. The second son has to take care of his wife. The third son has an official position and cannot leave, so we can only ask the eldest son to take a few days off. "

Boss Lu has no objection. As the eldest son, he should do it.

He nodded and said: "Dad, I can just go back. It's such a long journey. You are old, so you better not go back and forth."

"No, I I have to go back. Your mother and I are the oldest here. I have to go back as a representative. If nothing else, it will be the last time in my life."

Speaking of this, Old Man Lu sighed. Take a breath.

Although there are many wonderful things here in Jingzhou, Changzhou is also the place where they have lived and thrived for generations. This time I went back firstly to move the graves, and secondly to remember my hometown. As he got older, he no longer liked running around as he did when he was young. He just wanted to enjoy the happiness around his children and follow the old woman to raise flowers and entertain birds.

As for their hometown, even the graves of their ancestors will be moved here, so naturally there will be nothing to miss, and this will become their hometown.

When everyone heard these words, they suddenly stopped talking. An inexplicable sadness lingered in their hearts. The hardship and despair during the escape seemed to be still vivid in their minds.

Seeing everyone like this, Lu Baichuan took the initiative to change the subject and said: "The journey is long, and you may encounter danger. When the time comes, I will send a few people to follow you and escort you to safety."

In fact, he wanted to go back in person. He was the one who had been away from home for the longest time. He should do his part at this time, but there was still a wait for him to take office in the capital, so he couldn't shirk it.

"Okay, after the New Year arrangements are made, it will take about a month at the earliest. It will really reassure me to find a few more people."

Old man Lu nodded. , took a sip of wine and stopped thinking about the sad things in the past.

He Jiuniang said: "Since we are moving the tomb, we must send a few more carriages there. The carriages are empty when we go there. We can bring some things here to sell. Not to make money, you can follow the successIt would be good to sell it at the original price and do something for the people of Changzhou. ”

Suffering from this catastrophe, Changzhou must be much behind other places. Although the court has tried to find ways to change, it cannot be done so quickly.

She is not a Holy Mother, so she can’t deliver everything out, but if she doesn’t make money, she can bring some supplies to those people at the cost price. Anyway, the carriages are empty, so it’s useless if they don’t use them.

“ This is a good idea, and it is appropriate to do good things within your capabilities. ”

Mr. Sun agreed very much, and others had no objections.

Ms. Yu said: “Isn’t it that we have some defective coarse cloth clothes stored in our workshop? Keep it or leave it, give it to those in poor conditions. ”

Even though their lives are better now, when I was in Changzhou, they were reluctant to buy a piece of fabric to make clothes all year round. There are many such families now, especially in Changzhou, which has just experienced a disaster. State.

Not all refugees settle down wherever they go. Some people flee for a while and find it harder to live outside. They return home when it rains for the first time. They went there, especially some wealthy families. Before the real disaster struck, they fled with their families to other places, and then returned after the disaster passed.

Those people who fled had servants around them Protection, most people don’t dare to snatch it, and because they leave early, the chance of encountering bandits is much smaller, so they can go back safely.

But the poor are different, they can only take their lives. Carry it, live if you can bear it, die if you can't bear it.

Natural and man-made disasters, at any time it is the poor who suffer.
