The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

Zhou Quan's visa was issued very quickly, within three or four days, he got the small notebook.

On the night of receiving the visa, Chef Bao was busy booking air tickets, and chatted on the phone for a while, sounding like he was arranging some things abroad.

Seeing this, Zhou Quan didn't bother him much, and silently packed his luggage at the side. Arrangements had already been made at the homestay, and they could leave anytime after the visa was issued.

Chef Bao’s scheduled flight time is midnight the next day. They need to take a domestic flight to the imperial capital first, and then take a national flight from the imperial capital to the United States.

Before dawn that morning, Zhou Quan pulled Chef Bao out of the warm blanket, the two of them got dressed, and Zhou Quan took Chef Bao up the mountain with a rattan basket.

Their destination is the ancestral graves on the mountain. Both the Bao family and the Chen family in the two surname villages have landed here early, especially the Bao family, which has multiplied here for more than ten generations, and the earliest ancestral graves on the mountain are no longer enough. To bury, as early as six or seven generations ago, each branch had to re-bury the elderly in the family separately according to the distance of blood relationship.

This branch of Baoyan has always been the eldest son. Although his grandfather has no sons and his mother married Baiyanlang, this does not reflect the status of Mr. Bao and his daughter in the family. They are still buried in the eldest branch of the Bao family. In the ancestral grave.

Compared with the Bao family, the ancestral graves of the Zhou family are much thinner. As a foreigner who escaped from famine, the grandfather of the Zhou family had to marry the daughter of the Chen family to be eligible to live in the village with two surnames.

Although the old man has made outstanding contributions to the village, he has the qualifications to be buried in the Chen family's ancestral tomb and the spirit card to enter the Chen's family hall, but the old man knows that his surname is not Chen after all, so he consciously stood on the outside of the Chen's family's ancestral grave. I chose a place to sleep.

His wife was right next to him, and his son and daughter-in-law were picked up early, not far or close to his in-laws. Mr. Zhou was very satisfied with this arrangement.

In fact, this kind of arrangement is also very good. People in the two surnamed villages all remember the old man well. Even if Zhouquan is not around these years, the Zhou family's family grave has never grown weeds.

Zhou Quan deliberately came early today. In the Northeast in winter, if there were no special events, few people in the village would get up too early. Zhou Quan just wanted to take advantage of the quietness and go to the grave to burn some paper for his family.

But what he didn't expect was that he thought he and Brother Baozhen got up very early, and when they went to the grave of Bao's family, it seemed that someone came earlier than them.

There were offerings of wine and food in front of the graves of Grandpa Bao, Grandma Bao, and Aunt Lian, and there were traces of burning on the ground. The black burn marks were incompatible with the nearby yellow-brown land, and the remaining paper ash was still floating. With a trace of white smoke, it is obvious that the worshiper should not have been walking for a long time.

Seeing this, Zhou Quan looked around subconsciously. This side was already considered to be the top of the mountain. If the person who worshiped here just now went down the mountain and returned to the village, he should be able to see people from here.

However, he searched for a long time, but he didn't see that person coming back to the village from the mountain, and even the village road was empty now.

For the flower farmers who have already harvested the first batch of high-quality roses on the mountain and are just waiting to germinate again, this period of time is a rare day for them to rest, so it is very common for no one to come out of the village in the morning recently.

So in this kind of year, who would go out earlier than them to pay respects to Baoyan's family?

Zhou Quan had a few guesses in his mind, but he couldn't be sure until he saw the person. Although it was a bit unexpected that someone would worship in advance, it didn't hinder Zhou Quan and Bao Yan.

Putting down the basket in his hand, he took out the incense sticks and yellow paper inside. Bao Yan now understood what Zhou Quan meant, so after burning the incense and paper, Chef Bao held Zhou Quan's hand and said, "Grandma, grandpa, and mom, I found and I am a living person, and I brought it here for you to see today. Does Tebei look familiar? Yes, it is Zhou Zhou, we are together, we are very happy, you can rest assured."

No one answered them, except for the incense that suddenly flourished. Baoyan burned all the yellow papers that had been distributed. The ancestors kowtow.

The three kowtowed their heads, and behind him, Chef Bao swept the dust off himself and Zhou, and walked towards the other side of the hill with a basket in his hand, where the Zhou family's ancestral grave was located.

On the way, the two people who were walking one after the other on the mountain road vaguely saw someone coming down from the top of the mountain. After walking in, they realized clearly that the person walking from the ancestral grave was actually the uncle of the Chen family.

Chen Youde was also very surprised to see them. Since the last time they broke up at his own home, he has basically never met these two children alone.

Zhouquan's side is fine, after all, the flower sheds of the two families are next to each other, and he is the technical backbone of the village, the two of them always have to talk, but Baoyan's side thinks carefully that the two of them haven't been together for almost a week. I've seen it once.

But not seeing each other doesn't mean he doesn't care. Chen Youde still asks his son about the two of them at home from time to time.

Yesterday afternoon his son came back from the small second floor of Zhou's house, and said with great interest that Baoyan was going to take Ah Quan to travel to the United States, and asked him if there was anything he wanted, and he could ask the two of them to bring it back.

Chen Youde was taken aback when he heard the words, and instantly remembered what the two children had said when he objected in every possible way, that they were planning to go to the United States to get married?

This time the two of them went abroad together, wouldn't it be for this matter?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was the case. The eldest cousin of the Chen family didn't fall asleep all night, and rolled over and over on the kang all night, and went out at four o'clock the next day wearing stars and moon.

He didn't go to the flower shed of his own house, but went to the component land of the two families with his things. He didn't say anything during the worship, burned some paper, sprinkled some white wine, and only said one sentence after placing some sacrifices : "We are doing well now, the village is good, the people are good, and the children... are also very good."

That's all he said, and then he left, but he didn't expect to meet Zhou Quan and Bao Yan when he went down the mountain.

Chen Youde came down from the mountain, condescendingly saw the things in the hands of the two children, he was slightly taken aback, and then said: "Are you here? That's right, you should come and have a look."

While going up the mountain and going down the mountain, Zhou Quan and the others voluntarily gave way when the people on both sides met. Chen Youde said as he walked past them: "It's windy on the mountain, come back early so you don't catch a cold."

When they arrived at Zhou's house, Zhou Quan was the one who spoke, who was even more 'generous' than Chef Bao. After the ceremony, he held Chef Bao's hand and said, "I'll bring your 'daughter-in-law' here for you. You see, this is the person who is satisfied or not. I am living a very happy and satisfied life now, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. What I can guarantee is that I will never be the one to give up voluntarily."

Hearing him say this, the big dark hand held by him wrapped his hand and said: "I will never give up."

After the worship, the two went to the airport with their luggage. After nearly [-] hours of special plane, waiting and flying, the two of them successfully landed in a foreign land.

Someone picked them up at the airport, and it was a very enthusiastic American who came to pick them up with a driver and a car.

Chef Bao introduced them to each other, only then did Zhou Quan know that this person who looked friendly and said, "I am your friend, who is worthy of your trust" was actually Brother Bao's partner named Thomas in the American company.

After the car arrived at the hotel, Thomas, who knew they were on the road, was very considerate and asked them to go back to the room to rest first, and other things can be discussed after they recover.

They arrived here in the morning, and after a short rest, in the afternoon, Zhouquan saw a middle-aged man in the room who was well-dressed and looked like an elite.

The man introduced himself to Zhouquan in his not-so-fluent Chinese, and then handed over the document in his hand very formally and spoke as slowly as possible so that Zhouquan could understand.

In fact, there is no need to introduce too much, because the content of the document is bilingual in Chinese and English, and the content is very short. The core content is a will, a will that was just drafted by Baoyan. will.

Zhou Quan was silent about this will for a long time, and finally accepted his partner's thoughts, but he made a new request to the lawyer.

Comprehensive visas are short-term, only for one week. After the property matters are settled, Chef Bao has been preparing for their wedding non-stop.

This is a very simple wedding, because the two people are not religious, so there is no priest at the wedding, and the number of guests and friends attending the wedding is very small, only a few executives from Chef Bao's company and his partner Mr. Thomas are witnesses The ceremony is over.

Although the process is simple, there are still many necessary procedures, and after the announcement, Zhou Quan also gave a big gift to Chef Bao.

It was also a will, the content of which was the same as that signed by Chef Bao before, even the manager and the responsible lawyer were the same person.

Under Chef Bao's astonished eyes, Zhou Quan took out the two wills with his wedding ring hand, one for himself and one for Bao Zhen.

When other couples exchange wedding rings at the wedding, they exchange all the things of life and death.
