The big military green brick truck can carry more people.

There are quite a few brick carts parked in the brick store, but most of them are not privately owned and are rented from the brick factory owners.

Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu didn't have enough dignity, so the owner of the brick factory didn't rent brick trucks to them. In previous years, they rented hand-operated tractors from other wealthy families to carry people.

The tractor body is not as tall, big, and wide as a big brick truck, and there is no partition to block the wind.

Not only were there few people on board, the road was uneven and extremely bumpy. On rainy days, the road often slipped and everyone had to get out of the car and help push the cart in the cold wind.

Every time, they were complained by the tribesmen, blaming them for not being thoughtful enough and always wasting everyone's time.

As a village chief, if he has this ability, he might as well abdicate.

No matter how sad and aggrieved Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu were, they could only accept it because they couldn't rent a big brick truck.

Bai Lu nodded after hearing this: "Okay, I'll tell Xiao Cheng when he comes back from work. Count the total number of people before you go home. Please tell me again. We can determine how many people are taking the bus so that we can borrow a few from the brick factory owner.

car."

Li Hongying said repeatedly: "No trouble, we will come over and tell you after we count the number of people."

Great things accomplished.

The big stone weighing on Li Hongying's heart has finally fallen. This year, she no longer needs to be scolded for not being able to do things.

In previous years, Xiao Cheng was not notified, thinking that he would not go and would not let his family agree to go.

Unexpectedly, his wife can also make the decision at home. It seems that the recent rumors are most likely true.

During lunch, Xiao Cheng noticed that Bai Lu glanced at him from time to time, as if she had something to say.

Sure enough, as soon as she was full and put down the dishes, she pulled her back to the room. Before leaving, she did not forget to ask Xiao Wei to help wash the dishes.

Obviously it's not a small matter.

"Shall we go back to the countryside tomorrow to worship the ancestors of the Xiao family?" Bai Lu looked at Xiao Cheng with bright eyes, full of expectation.

"We?" Xiao Cheng was slightly surprised.

Unexpectedly, the Xiao family will notify him this year, and even more unexpectedly, he is obviously not the only one in our family.

"Yes, we."

Bai Lu nodded seriously: "You, me, and Xiaowei, the three of us will go back to the countryside to worship our ancestors together."

According to the Qingming Festival custom here, one must first pay homage to the ancestral tombs of the Zong family before worshiping private tombs.

In previous years, if the clan members did not notify Xiao Cheng, Xiao Cheng would not go to pay homage to the ancestors of the Xiao family, but would directly pay homage to a private tomb.

It will be notified this year. Xiao Cheng knows without thinking that it is most likely related to Bai Lu.

However, Bailu couldn't go.

"Xiao Wei and I will go."

Bai Lu didn't understand and didn't agree. She let go of his hand, grabbed it back and shook it: "I want to go too."

Xiao Cheng's arm was about to be shaken off, but he remained expressionless, staring at her belly, and said quietly: "You are pregnant, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and it will become slippery if it rains."

Bai Lu raised three fingers and promised: "I will wear non-slip plastic water shoes and bring an umbrella. I will go wherever you go and I will never run around, okay?"

Xiao Cheng knew what she wanted to do.

Over in the old village, there are chestnut trees all over the mountains and plains. The old people who stick to their ancestral land have experienced the hard days of hunger in their early years and cherish every grain of food. They usually store chestnuts in their homes, and there are quite a lot of them.

Bai Lu wanted to go to the old village just to buy chestnuts.

Xiao Cheng pursed his lips and said calmly: "I'll talk about the chestnut purchase."

"No, I want to talk to myself."

Bai Lu didn't believe him. He was impulsive and reckless. His only thought was to fight violence with violence. If he didn't obey, he would do it. He would take action when he disagreed.

Should she continue her business?

Being stared at with distrustful eyes, Xiao Cheng also knew what Bai Lu was worried about. He touched his nose and coughed unnaturally: "I can control it."

Bai Lu obviously didn't believe it and wanted to go.

Xiao Cheng just disagreed.

No matter what he said, he didn't agree. Bai Lu shook his arm and acted coquettishly, and he didn't agree even if he said soft words.

During the stalemate, Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu counted the number of people and came to knock on the door to report the number.

Then I was extremely lucky to receive Xiao Cheng's cold eyes, cold face, and a cold word "hmm".

The two couples suddenly became nervous again.

I wanted to ask a few more questions to make sure, but I didn't dare because Bai Lu was inside and couldn't come out.

Neither Li Hongying nor Xiao Guofu dared to ask Xiao Cheng.

After waiting for a long time, Bai Lu didn't show up, so he didn't dare to stay any longer and left worriedly.

"What should we do now? If Xiao Cheng doesn't help us borrow a brick cart, how will the 143 tribesmen in the town get back? There are men, women, old and young, so walking will definitely be impossible."

Xiao Guofu frowned: "Contact the previous tractor owners first and rent a car. If Xiao Cheng is willing to help rent a big brick truck tomorrow, we will return the tractor. If Xiao Cheng is unwilling to help, we have no choice but to let everyone

Let’s continue riding the tractor back to the countryside.”

"Then I will be scolded to death by the spit of my tribe again, and I will lose all my face!" Li Hongying was angry and anxious: "It's all your fault. Why didn't I inform Xiao Cheng in previous years?"

Xiao Guofu didn't think there was anything wrong: "With Xiao Cheng's reputation in the past, who would dare to inform him? Even if I agree, the elders in the clan will not agree."

Li Hongying snorted coldly: "It's okay now, you guys have agreed, and I'm not surprised anymore."

Xiao Guofu's tone was tough: "Who asked him to disgrace his ancestors..."

"What a shame, what nonsense!"

As soon as Li Hongying's temper got angry, she said, "It's none of your business what people do. Just eat carrots every day and don't worry about it! Our ancestors are living well in heaven, so they don't have time to care about what you do. We should burn more sacrifices during the Qingming Festival."

Just put some paper money, incense candles, and offer some good food and drink, and who cares what kind of work you do!"

"Don't say a few words. The gods are above and the ancestors have spirits and can hear her." Xiao Guofu wanted to cover her mouth.

Li Hongying slapped his hand away: "There is a spirit, there is a spirit. If you can't borrow the car tomorrow, you will know that there is a spirit!"

"When your tribe scolds you for not being able to do things well and scolds you for not being worthy of being the village chief, then you will be enlightened!"

"Who told Xiao Cheng not to follow the right path and bring shame on his ancestors?" Xiao Guofu still sticks to his own theory.

Li Hongying was so angry that she scolded him for being stubborn: "People who don't follow the right path have moved to the town. We are still living in the pits of the old countryside. When it is windy and rainy, the tile-roofed houses are repaired and leaked, and the leaks are repaired again and again, and there are no traces of meat foam all year round."

Even Xingzi can't see it, who do you think our ancestors think is more embarrassing?"

"It's not like there are wild boars hunting on the mountain, who says there's no meat to eat." Xiao Guofu argued with reason.

Li Hongying laughed angrily: "Why didn't I see you hunting down wild boars last year? You went back and forth all year long, in and out of the mountains so many times, and you only got a few piglets back. Our son was clever and caught them by setting a trap."

"

Xiao Guofu's face was filled with embarrassment, and he frowned and explained: "Now that hunting rifles are banned, it is naturally difficult to kill prey."

Li Hongying stopped talking.

Striding towards the end of the alley, there was a small tricycle going back to the countryside. I finally agreed to give it a ride, but I couldn't miss it. If I missed it, I would have to walk for several hours and I would be exhausted.

Let the cow be stubborn on its own!

the other side.

"A Cheng... just take me there..."
