Chapter 2110: Chapter 2070: The First Night Back
In addition to pork, there are also chickens, ducks, and geese. Overall, the dishes are quite plentiful and all home-cooked.
Ye Weidong sat with those relatives, chatting while drinking.
At around nine o’clock in the evening, after the dinner, Ye Qiu suggested that Liu Lingxiu and her group should go back to the hotel and rest, and return to the village tomorrow.
Ye Qiu had some matters to attend to and would return to the hotel later.
Liu Lingxiu, Li Qianqian, Luo Yang, and the others returned to the hotel in the small town first.
Even though these people had left, the village remained very lively.
Ye Qiu was sitting to one side; Ye Weidong and his wife sat nearby, as did Ye Xue. Also present were some of their paternal uncles and aunts, who had their children around too, along with other blood relatives including cousins and such, making for quite a crowd.
"Dad, where is Grandpa’s grave?" Ye Qiu asked.
Originally, Ye Qiu’s grandfather worked in a state enterprise in Jinling and passed away in a hospital there. However, later, Ye Weidong brought the ashes back and had them buried alongside Ye Qiu’s grandmother.
About eight years ago, Ye Weidong had already moved the grave once.
In this regard, village people are particularly superstitious about Feng Shui.
It is often said that fate, luck, Feng Shui, virtue, and study are all interconnected, and it has been true historically.
This implies that the Feng Shui of ancestors’ burials is related to the descendants.
Therefore, back then, Ye Weidong consulted a Feng Shui master.
The master mentioned something about a great dragon cave and dragon vein, which could bring wealth and prosperity to the descendants.
At the time, Ye Weidong was somewhat skeptical.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu’s grandfather’s ancestral grave indeed brought fortune, and overnight, the lives of the Ye Weidong family were upturned.
"The Feng Shui master said it was a dragon vein spot, and the Feng Shui there was particularly good. But over the years, I’ve rarely visited."
In this aspect, one can’t blame Ye Weidong.
Life used to be ordinary, and work was quite tiring. Others might go to sweep the graves every Qingming or Double Ninth Festival.
However, since Weidong didn’t have time to come back, he could only manage to visit every few years.
As for those paternal uncles of Weidong, they would certainly sweep the graves only of their own generation, perhaps even other public grave sites.
Besides, the place is a bit remote, and the Feng Shui master said it doesn’t need tomb sweeping every year.
"Dad, so you’re saying you haven’t visited it in a long time."
Ye Weidong could only nod.
And Ye Weidong’s cousins actually hadn’t visited either.
"Then we definitely have to take a look this time."
Ye Qiu discussed with everyone and agreed on the timing that Weidong had decided on. They would set off at eight o’clock in the morning, with the plan to drive part of the way, then walk the rest.
Ye Qiu drove with Ye Xue to leave Ye Family Village and return to the hotel in the small town.
While Ye Weidong and his wife stayed in Ye Family Village.
Upon returning to the small-town hotel, Ye Qiu parked the car and went inside with Ye Xue.
Currently, Ye Xue was also staying in a room by herself.
But for some reason, this time, her father bringing Ye Qiu back for such a big affair made her a bit unhappy.
Ye Qiu was her brother, though not biologically.
Ye Xue was aware of this.
Yet, they were siblings no matter what.
Why am I feeling upset?
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu had already reached the fourth floor, went into his room, and opened the window to look outside.
This small town wasn’t large, and from the fourth floor, one could see all of it.
The whole town might have a total of tens of thousands of residents.
In contrast, in a big city, a large residential complex, those developed up to the seventh or eighth phase, might really have a population over ten thousand.
Perhaps even more than this small town.
Of course, both towns and villages become crowded during the New Year, while they aren’t typically very populous otherwise.
Yet, this small town looked quite attractive.
It has mountains and rivers, and the buildings seem fairly uniform, all belonging to the Weipai architecture style, with the tallest being only five stories high.
Most others are single or two-story buildings, rarely exceeding three stories.
Ye Qiu was planning to take a bath first, then continue practicing cultivation.
Because tonight’s moonlight was quite nice.
After finishing his bath, Ye Qiu turned on the TV but found nothing interesting, so he decided to turn off the lights and continue practicing cultivation.
At this moment, Ye Qiu’s phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Li Qianqian, the little fox calling.
"Ye Qiu, are you back?"
"How did you know?"
"Ye Xue told me," said Li Qianqian on the other end.
"What do you want?"
"I want to come to your room. I don’t want to sleep alone, I’m scared."
Ye Qiu didn’t believe Li Qianqian; she was likely just looking for a chance to be with him.
When Li Qianqian arrived and rang the doorbell outside, Ye Qiu had no choice but to get up to open the door, letting Li Qianqian in, who immediately hugged Ye Qiu.
"I just called my parents, and they told me to pay attention to safety and that’s it."
"Alright, go to sleep. I’ll practice cultivation later."
"What cultivation? I don’t want to."
Li Qianqian wrapped herself around Ye Qiu, twisting her waist like a little fox.
If it was before, with that flat body, Ye Qiu might not have been fond of her. But after Ye Qiu’s treatment, it was a completely different story now.
And after being nurtured by Ye Qiu, she looked even better to him now.
"Little fox, you’re tempting me."
The night passed without further incident. The next morning, Ye Qiu awoke at six.
Li Qianqian was still fast asleep as Ye Qiu took a shower and dressed, then woke her up.
It’s time to return to Ye Family Village, have breakfast, and set off by eight.
According to the Feng Shui master’s recommended time, they couldn’t leave later than eight.
After Li Qianqian got up, she hurried to shower and dress, doing some quick grooming.
Descending to the car with Ye Qiu, they waited for the other ladies to come down, and it was almost seven.
Everyone felt energetic because of the early sleep last night, though Liu Lingxiu gave the two a curious look.
On the drive back to Ye Family Village, it was bustling; this time, Ye Weidong was bringing Ye Qiu back for tomb sweeping and also for recognition, to let the other villagers know that Ye Qiu was his son and a part of the Ye Family.
At that time, Ye Qiu needed to visit his grandfather’s grave, and also, in the Ye Family’s ancestral hall, in front of the ancestors’ spirit tablets, the influential elders of Ye Family Village would acknowledge his identity.
So, Ye Weidong was planning to invite the whole village to help and join in a meal together.
This was considered a big event for Ye Family Village.
