Chapter 4240: : New Year

Although Ye Chen came back several times this year, Ye Chen discovered that Zhaojia Village is now full of plum blossoms, which is indeed different from before.
When I was walking around the village with Zhou Ning, the villagers greeted Ye Chen one after another when they saw Ye Chen coming back. They knew that if Ye Chen did not return to his hometown for the New Year, Zhao’s Village would be much quieter.
Especially in recent years, the flavour of the New Year has faded a lot.
Ye Chen and Zhou Ning, when the children in the village were walking around the village, they found that the ancestral hall in the village had indeed changed a lot. After all, Ye Dao took so much money to decorate, and the village cadres in the village did not dare to eat those. The case of money.
Ye Dao and Ye Chen’s surname is Ye, and the ancestral hall in Zhao’s Village is naturally also named Zhao. Now that the two of Ye Dao’s grandpa and grandson take care of the village, great changes have taken place in the village. People naturally invited the ancestors of the Ye family to the ancestral hall and turned it into a common ancestral hall for Zhao and Ye.
In the past, Ye Dao was only Ye Chen.
However, now that Ye Chen has more eldest ladies and more children and grandchildren, he is naturally a big family, which is naturally different from before.
"Dad, I want to watch the fireworks this year."
It is impossible to watch fireworks during the New Year in Shanghai, because fireworks are forbidden in big cities, but it is different in your hometown, as long as you have the money, you can do it.
Ye Chen knew that if there were no fireworks and firecrackers to celebrate the New Year, there would indeed be a lot less flavor.
"Of course there will be fireworks."
Ye Chen planned to display these fireworks from the 30th to the 8th of the New Year. Anyway, he has money, which can be considered as a promotion of New Year's consumption.
Looking for the old man who is now looking at the ancestral hall.
This old man was specially selected by Zhaojiacun.
One is anti-theft, to prevent thieves from stealing things inside the ancestral hall, and the other is fire prevention.
There are people who burn incense here every day.
This old gentleman, who is in his sixties this year, is a bachelor who has never been married in his life.
However, this job now costs a few thousand yuan a month, which is pretty good.
When he saw Ye Chen, the old man hurriedly came out to say hello.
"Genius Doctor Ye Xiao, I'm back."
"Uncle, I just came back. Say hello to uncle."
Ye Chen looked at Zhou Ning on the side.
"Good old grandpa."
The other party recognized Zhou Ning and nodded.
"Uncle, this is the case. I used to buy fireworks every year before, and this year, too. I plan to display them from the first day of the new year to the eighth day of the new year. You think it’s better to buy as many as you like.
Those fireworks are very expensive.
It's not very big, maybe hundreds of them, but it's still over ten seconds.
It can be said to be very profitable, just because manufacturing is more dangerous and taxes are higher.
As a result, the price of fireworks is becoming more expensive year by year.
"Mr. Ye Xiao, I don't know how long you want to put it on every night?"
"Let's keep it for several hours!"
Because it is more than 20 years old now, it must be booked in advance.
Now that there are many wealthy people in the town, maybe the firecrackers and fireworks in the town will be sold.
It doesn't mean that you will be gone after you buy it, but you just pull it back from other places, and you will need time.
Ye Chen didn't want to miss time.
Moreover, when so many ladies and children come back, they also want to see the fireworks and feel the flavor of the New Year.
"I have to do the math. I heard that the price of fireworks and firecrackers this year is another 10% or 20% higher."
When the old gentleman used the abacus to calculate there, Ye Chen took Zhou Ning to check it and found that it had indeed been renovated and it was much more beautiful.
In big cities, the ancestral halls in the villages in the city can be said to be the most prestigious places. Since they represent a family, they also represent a kind of hope and even a root.
Ye Chen knew that he was in the secular world and his roots were always in Zhaojiacun. No matter where he went, he would always return here in the end.
"Genius Doctor Ye Xiao, I just calculated it. I'm afraid it will cost such a big expense. It won't work if it doesn't cost hundreds of thousands."
This is hundreds of thousands, which is a lot of money, at least in the eyes of these villagers.
"Then I will buy one million."
one million?
The old gentleman was surprised.
"Then I will contact the villagers now, go to the county seat, or have them delivered directly from the fireworks factory."
"You only need to be responsible, just come over and ask me for money."
Ye Chen and Zhou Ning also left here. When they went outside, they found plum blossoms everywhere, which were indeed very beautiful.
This reminded him of those peach blossoms in the ancient martial arts world.
Of course, peach blossoms and plum blossoms are good.
When Ye Chen returned to the villa, the little daughter hadn't woken up yet, Gao Meilin had already woken up, very energetic, she also felt very comfortable just looking at the plum blossoms outside upstairs.
Of course, the most important thing is to feel that there is indeed a sense of the year in the village.
If you celebrate the New Year in Shanghai, I'm afraid there is no difference.
. . .
In the afternoon.
The head of the village came.
It's the same Zhao De.
He has been in this position more than ten years ago.
Now that Ye Chen came back, Zhao De knew that Ye Chen was still very concerned about the affairs of the village. However, he mentioned one thing first.
That was the incident related to the people Ye Chen and Ye Dao encountered before entering Shennongjia.
That was a few months ago.
"The group of people traveled to Shennongjia and all of them were missing. In the end, no one survived. Later, a group of professional rescuers were sent in to search and they were not found."
You can imagine how big Shennongjia is.
Even if Zhao De hadn't really entered, he knew it. What's more, there are many snakes, leopards, wild wolves, and even wild boars inside. If you encounter those animals, you may be eaten.
"Uncle Zhao, really none of them came out?"
Ye Chen knew that those people had gone in to find the Dragon's Den, but they had not been able to come out. Ye Chen had expected it at the beginning.
"Indeed, I heard that some drones were used to search, but there was no signal inside, so even those drones were not found in the end."
Ye Chen felt that those people would have died long ago.
"I don't think these people are that simple." Zhao De said again.
Ye Chen knew that those people went in to find a dragon's cave for a big man in the capital. They belonged to a wealthy family. After all, he invited a few gentlemen who watched Feng Shui.
However, these gentlemen actually died inside.
"Uncle Zhao, this year, I want to continue to honor the elderly in the village as in previous years."
Zhao De smiled.
"Those old people have been waiting for you to come back."
Because Ye Chen came back for the New Year every year, and would give the old people in the village wine, oil and meat.
Even though the living conditions are much better now than in previous years, when I think of Ye Chen, I naturally think of these.
"The pigs have to be killed too. Kill a few more this year."
