Daddy Academy

Chapter 2166 Filial Piety

When Zhang Tan and Tan Jiner arrived in Xinzhou, they specially rented a car, because there was still a long way to go from Xinzhou to Tan Jiner's hometown, and it took about an hour to drive.

The two had breakfast at the hotel and then set off. It was exactly nine o'clock in the morning.

Tan Jin'er felt a little heavy, and didn't say much along the way, just staring at the scenery along the way outside the car window in a daze.

Perhaps, she saw the shadow of her hometown in it.

The car drove to Tanjia Village and stopped on the side of the road. The two carried their things and walked on foot on the path.

Zhang Tan saw Tan Jin'er's hometown from a distance, he had been here once before.However, what was different from the last time he came was that a three-story building suddenly stood next to the old house. The house was brand new with bright windows. This was a new house. Crushed red paper for firecrackers and fireworks.

There were two small chairs by the door, but no one was sitting on them.

Tan Jin'er stared at the building with some suspicion. This building was built next to her hometown.

"Go ahead and have a look."

Zhang Tan said that he came to the Tan family's old house first.

It looked much older than the last time he came, the door was wide open, and a lot of firecrackers and scraps of paper fell in front of the house.

The two walked through the gate, and the sun shone from above the patio, dispelling the darkness and musty smell in the house.

However, the musty smell in the old house is still very strong.

The courtyard is full of water. It rained here a few days ago, and moss and water plants grew on the stone walls in the courtyard.

The house was empty, with no signs of human habitation.

Tan Jin'er looked at her own half of the house, and then her cousin's half. The last time she came, his cousin's family lived here, but now it's empty.

Tan Jin'er looked at Zhang Tan with some confusion, and Zhang Tan said, "The new house next door may belong to your cousin's family. Come and take a look?"

Tan Jin'er hummed, and the two of them left the old house and happened to meet a woman coming out of the new house next door. She was holding a little boy in her hand, who looked about five or six years old.

When the other party saw Zhang Tan and Tan Jin'er coming out of the old house suddenly, he was startled, the surprised look on his face flashed, and soon he felt familiar, and after thinking about it again, he knew who it was.

"Jin'er? You're here, your brother went to town..."

The woman greeted them warmly and invited them to sit in the house.

Tan Jin'er also recognized the person in front of her. She was the wife of the eldest son of an uncle of the same clan. She had seen her last time when she went back to her hometown.

Tan Jin'er just wanted to deliver the gift and left, but at this time a woman came out of the building again, looking younger, with a baby in her arms.

She should have heard the commotion outside and came out to take a look.

"Sister-in-law, are you here?" the other party asked.

"It's our sister who is here, Jin'er is here."

Zhang Tan and Tan Jiner were invited to sit down in the room, only then did they know that this young woman was the daughter-in-law of the second son of Tan Jiner's uncle of the same clan.

Last time, that cousin from the same clan was not yet married, so he fell in love with Tan Jin'er, which is why such an incident happened.

Now, they are married and have sons.

"The New Year's gift for you. I didn't know that the second brother married a wife and became a father. It's the lucky money for the children." Zhang Tan delivered the gift for Tan Jin'er, and took out the red envelope that he had prepared earlier and handed it over.

Naturally, they refused to accept it, and after a lot of pushing and pulling, they finally accepted it.

At the same time, they also learned that the two cousins ​​of the same clan had gone out to the town and would not come back for a while.

"We won't wait any longer. Let's go to the next door to visit uncle." Tan Jiner said.

She came to Tan Family Village to visit this uncle of the same family. She was a neighbor of Tan Jin'er's family, one in front of the other, and she had a good relationship with Tan Jiner's family in the past, and the relationship was very close.

They are all of the same family, the Tan family, and they have no special blood relationship, but they are a family when they grow up.

Especially the two brothers Tan Zhongwen and Tan Zhongxiang have lived under the same roof since they were young, and their parents have been with them all their lives, so they are very close. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are cousins.

"Sit down, sit down, then go home for lunch—"

Tan Zhongwen's wife chased him out and said enthusiastically.

Zhang Tan and Tan Jin'er came to the back of the old house, which was also an old house. An old man was sitting at the door of the old house, basking in the sun.

This is the uncle from the same clan that Tan Jin'er called.

He received a call from Tan Jin'er yesterday and knew that Tan Jin'er was coming today, so he waited at home and didn't go anywhere.

"Jin'er, you're here~"

The uncle recognized Tan Jin'er at a glance, got up and welcomed them into the house, staring at Zhang Tan curiously.

"Are you married?" he asked.

Tan Jin'er looked embarrassed, "Uncle, I don't have one."

"Oh--"

The other party laughed, and automatically identified Zhang Tan as Tan Jiner's boyfriend.

"Why is my mother's tombstone broken?" Tan Jin'er asked impatiently.

The uncle first explained the incident to her in detail, and it can be ruled out that it must not be artificial, and doing such a thing is wicked and will be punished.

"Wait, Dawen and Ah Xiang are going to town to drag the tombstone."

Tan Jin'er was taken aback when he heard that, he didn't expect the two of them to drag the tombstone back from the town.

The two sat at the uncle's house for a while, chatting. At about 10:30, two brothers, Tan Zhongwen and Tan Zhongxiang, came back in a tricycle. They must have heard what their wife told them, so they went to the back of the house and looked for him. Come to the door.

When the three of them met, they were all a little embarrassed, after all, the trouble last time was very unpleasant.

However, a few years have passed and many things will gradually be let go. Tan Jiner is not a grudge-holder.

But there was no burying the hatchet, it was just a little awkward, and I did what I had to do.

The uncle rode a tricycle and drove Zhang Tan and Tan Jin'er up the mountain.

The two brothers Tan Zhongwen and Tan Zhongxiang looked at each other, hurried back home, got on the motorcycle, picked up the hoe, and followed.

They enthusiastically helped to dig out the broken stele, and then buried the new stele and erected it.

The graves of Tan Jin'er's parents are close to each other. Tan Jin'er burned paper in front of their graves with tears in her eyes.

The uncle signaled the two brothers Tan Zhongwen and Tan Zhongxiang to go down the mountain with him first, and waited for Zhang Tan and Tan Jiner at the intersection, leaving space for Tan Jiner.

Zhang Tan stood not far away, quietly waiting for Tan Jiner.

After a while, Tan Jin'er walked over with red eyes.

"I'm sorry, let's go~"

"What are you sorry for?"

Zhang Tan handed her a tissue.

"I'm so unfilial that I haven't gone home to visit my parents' graves for several years."

"It's not easy for you to work outside alone and take care of Xi'er. Hotels are in the service industry and there may not be a holiday during the Spring Festival. Your parents in Tianzhiling will definitely understand. In fact, they saw you taking Xi'er with you. They must be very happy because they are so well educated, and this will make them more gratified than coming back to see them every year."

"is it?"

"Yes."

Tan Jin'er didn't say anything more, the two went down the mountain side by side, and saw their uncle waiting at the intersection.

The two brothers Tan Zhongwen and Tan Zhongxiang had already gone back on motorcycles.
