Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

Chapter 698 The Legend of Qingshan Lake

That's it, this morning, it's still according to our original plan.

Go to Qingshan Lake first, and lead the children to play for a while.

You go back in the afternoon, and we will take our parents to Kuandian City, and we will stay here for a few more days.

Our father and mother are at this age, it is not easy to come out for a trip. Xu Shiyan pondered for a while, and he could only arrange it this way.

Parents are old, so if they come out this trip, they may not have a chance to come out again in the future.

Even if they had time, the old man's body couldn't help tossing.

Simply hang around with the second elder. Anyway, the children are on vacation, and Xu Shiyan at the work unit has made arrangements.

The elders in the family are very capable, and they don't have anything to worry about.

Xu Shixian thought about it a few times, and that's the only way to go.

Okay, listen to you, let's go back according to the original plan, you stay with your parents and play here for a while.

Xu Shiyan is the general manager of the company, he has the final say on everything, and the car is his own.

Su Anying starts her own company, which gives her more freedom and she can do whatever she likes.

How do their brothers compare? They all go to work and listen to others.

If you don't go back during the holidays, the deduction of wages will be small. What if the leader is unhappy and wears small shoes in the future?

In this way, the brothers negotiated properly.

Xu Shiyan turned his head and discussed with Qu Jiacheng and the others.

Brother Qu, do you think this is okay?

I first accompanied my brothers and nephews to go for a walk in Qingshan Lake.

Looking back, our family went straight to Kuandian, to join you two tonight, and tomorrow I will go to Dandong.

The second elder hasn't come back for many years, so we just hang around our hometown for a few more days.

Qu Jiacheng was happy when he heard that, Okay, why not, it must be done.

Brother, let's make an agreement, I'll wait for you in the county seat.

These two people, a deputy secretary and a deputy county magistrate, are very busy with work, and they can't stay in Qingshangou all the time, they have to go back to work.

Xu Shiyan's arrangement was quite reasonable, and he would not delay anything, so Qu Jiacheng agreed directly.

Okay, that's it. If people from the city come over, brother Qu Gao, please tell them.

Xu Shiyan didn't bother anymore, it's a deal.

So, Qu Jiacheng and the two left happily, while Xu Shiyan and others said goodbye to Xu Shiquan.

Xu Shiquan really wanted to keep everyone staying for two more days, but he also saw what happened just now.

There are still county and city leaders waiting. What is he, an ordinary person?

Uncle, Auntie, if it's my wish, why don't you have to stay at home for ten and a half months.

You said we met yesterday and we are leaving today, it is really not close enough.

But I can also see that the younger brothers have business to do, so there should be no delay.

Uncle and aunt, I will be free in the future, and come back to be lively.

Okay, okay, come back again when I'm free later. Xu Chenghou nodded repeatedly.

Since I want to leave, I must go door to door and tell people about it. When the families in Shijiagou heard about it, they were very reluctant.

Just when Xu Shiyan remembered, he came with a camera.

Quickly took out the camera and took a group photo of Xu Shiquan and his wife, as well as these old neighbors.

Then Xu Shiyan and his brothers took a photo with Xu Shiquan.

Brother, wait for me to go back, develop the photos, and mail them to you.

After Xu Shiyan took the photo, he put the camera in his bag and told Xu Shiquan.

Okay, okay, brother, I will come back often when I have a chance in the future, this end is also my home.

Xu Shiquan shook hands with Xu Shixian and others one by one, and said reluctantly.

Everyone parted at this point, Xu Shiquan, his wife, and a group of old neighbors followed the members of the Xu family to the mouth of Shijiagou.

Seeing Xu Shiyan and others got into the car and left with their own eyes, they went back separately.

Xu Shiyan and others turned around and drove straight to Qingshangou Township, and then turned to Qingshan Lake from Qingshangou Township.

Although Xu Chenghou has been away for these years, he still remembers this place quite clearly.

On the way, he showed Xu Shiyan the way, and he arrived at the place quite smoothly.

It's called Qingshan Lake now, but we called it Diaoshui Lake back then.

Xu Chenghou got off the car and told stories to the children.

This place used to be amazing, the elders said, there are some kind of ghosts living in this lake.

Some say that he is a big old turtle who can fly clouds and rain.

With the support of his grandson, Xu Chenghou walked slowly inside. While walking, he told his grandsons stories that the locals had passed down for many years.

In the early years, there was often drought and no rain in spring here.

The villages hurriedly negotiated, planted the land first, and then prepared three animal wine rituals, and came to the lake to pray for rain.

When praying for rain, people from every village came here with three offerings of wine and a big vase prepared, and kowtowed in three steps.

When they arrived at the lake, they placed offerings, sang and danced, and then fished a small old turtle from the lake.

Not too big, about the size of a copper coin, put it in the vase, and carried it back.

When I first walked from the lake, there was a small piece of cloud in the sky, just like the little turtle in the vase.

Walking and walking, hey, it is almost like a millstone, and after walking for a while, it is almost like a kang.

I walked slowly, and it started to rain a little while I was still ten or eight miles away from home.

Before the big guys got home, the heavy rain was photographed, and everyone at home was soaked.

It rained for three days, and after three days, the villages organized people to carry the vase and send the little old turtle back.

That's enough, the weather will be smooth this spring, and there will be no drought.

What Xu Chenghou said was so mysterious, the children were all fascinated by what they heard, and their eyes widened.

Grandpa, did you see this with your own eyes? Did you also ask for rain at that time? Xu Haiqing asked curiously.

No, I was in chaos at that time, the kings of the Northeast, the devils, the Manchukuo, and all the turbulent soldiers were fighting.

Every household is struggling to live, who can afford three animals to pray for rain? Xu Chenghou shook his head and sighed.

Oh, I thought Grandpa saw it with his own eyes.

When the children heard it, they were all discouraged. What they said was so mysterious. It was rumored by the elders for a long time, and no one had seen it with their own eyes.

Your grandfather didn't lie to you, the elders did say so.

Before we moved out, Qingshangou Primary School organized children to come here for picnics as soon as spring and summer came.

Those children were naughty, and when they saw an old turtle drying its cover on the bank, they threw stones at it.

Anyway, whenever I come back for an outing, it will rain and be watered when I keep it in storage, so I can't run back and forth.

Over there, Zhou Guilan also spoke up, testifying for her old man, this is not made up by them, that's what the old people said.

I don't believe it. If I meet the little turtle later on, I'll catch one. I wonder if it's going to rain with him?

Xu Haitao curled his lips, what, this is a folk tale, he didn't believe it when he made it up to fool children.

Tch, you have to be able to meet Suan.

When did our grandpa and grandma talk about it? Decades ago, when the population was small, no one harmed the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in this lake.

Now you try? It's almost time to be caught.

Xu Haiyuan snorted, why is his second brother so naive?

Don't say the story is true or false, now you still want to catch a little old turtle? How is it possible?
