【】Chapter 4 【Part 2】

In 1929, my grandfather was 51 years old. He went to the farmland to work:

【Unfortunately, I ran into a frightened horse and flew far away. I didn't have long been away from the world】

In 1935, his father Dian Laifu was 39 years old:

[Working a business with fellow villagers, I just want to improve my life. Unfortunately, I encountered a bandit and lost my life]

In the same year, the bad news came home:

[Dian Laifu's wife was completely collapsed, half-intentioned, sometimes getting better and worse. She didn't know if she had infectious diseases or ate unclean food, so she didn't get sick soon. In the same year, she passed away with the world]

In 1935, Dian Congru was 15 years old:

[A half-pull orphan, no brothers and sisters. Grandma is still here, and depends on each other for life]

In 1936, the 25th year of the Republic of China, Diancai Jin was 56 years old:

[The first time I returned to my hometown in mainland China, I left for 42 years. After all, my age and seniority, my fellow villagers respectfully called it "Dian Family Second Bogong". The old man made up his mind to go to Lushan Kingdom and check if the Dian family members were very promising. My brother, Dian Haozhe, died early, but my sister-in-law brought Congru, who was really poor. Seeing such a situation, the second Bogong burst into tears as rain]

Dian Cijin is comprehensive in doing things:

[All families settled in the city hotel, and they should eat and use it properly]

Where is himself? His 16-year-old nephew Sun Dian Congru took the initiative to stay in the old house:

[Receive all the villagers every day. There is no need for elders to do it. I live every day from Confucian cuisine. Seeing that Tianer is crowded, everyone knows that successful people have returned from Nanyang. At that time, they were called local tyrants. Even if they receive old houses, the gentry was still very interested. They simply brought gifts, wine and meat, and held the banquet on the spot. Some of them were really unsupported. They gave gold gifts and brought nephews and grandsons to visit the door of Confucians]

Time flies. In the late Qing Dynasty, the rich families in the village:

[The Gu family gradually declined and no longer had the prosperity of the past]

After saying something off topic, press not to mention:

[Look at this side, the old house of the Dian family. The 12th day of the eighth lunar month, 3 days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, 1936]

A guest comes, who:

[The descendant of the wealthy family, Gu Nuoqu. He was born in 1900 in the 26th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, and got married in 1924]

Seeing the dictionary gold, how dare you call me casually:

[Opening 12 points of respect, "The Second Uncle Duke of the Dian Family". I really don't know how to express respect, how to say it nicely. Uncle Duke refers to the elder brother of my grandfather]

It turned out that the descendant of the Gu family, Dian Cijin, had a smile on his face and hurriedly gave up his seat:

【Boil water to make tea from Ru, speak very politely】

While speaking, Gu Nuoqu wanted to kneel down and kowtow:

[But how dare you receive such a great gift? Dian Cijin hurriedly stopped him. He said that he had been with family friends for many years, so he must not do this]

Gu Nuoqu is wearing coarse cloth clothes, patched:

[Owned handmade cloth shoes look new. Bamboo shoulder pole, homemade rectangular bamboo cage, rows of bamboo slices on four sides, hanging many gadgets: bamboo fence, rattle, cooking bamboo spoon, metal cookware, needles and thread, rouge powder, feather duster, toy trumpet, children's tiger-head hat, etc.... Mobile vendor]

The craftsmanship passed down by the former family:

[Gu Nuoqu brings 2 bottles of homemade glutinous rice wine, ordinary pottery bottles, and buys 2 boxes of decent pastries locally. He speaks very low-key and only says he is filial to his second uncle]

The nearby squire gave some Mid-Autumn Festival gifts early:

[Dian Cijin greeted him warmly, and kept dinner. He served pastries, fruits, and even foreign chocolates from Ru. None of Gu Nuoqu has ever seen any chocolate, and it was very comfortable to have 1 piece in his mouth.

The gold-black satin jacket is given in gold thread embroidered copper coin pattern:

[Narrow blue satin long gown, black satin cloth shoes. The ring finger on the left hand was wearing a large gold jade ring, which was heavy and really important. At that time, I recognized the rich everywhere]
