Chapter 965: Two Visitors

"Isn't this Xi?"

In the subway station in Suhua City, Li Qin looked at the anime character image attached to the train carriage with a surprised look. This is the heroine of the previous episode "Lannad", and she is the daughter of the male protagonist. After the new "End of the Earth" was broadcast, her popularity grew rapidly.

But no matter how much it grows, Li Qin was still surprised to see her character appearing on the subway door so quickly. The advertising has been done too quickly after a few days! The efficiency of cooperation between Phoenix and Zhongxia Company is indeed extraordinary. On weekdays, an advertisement would have to be prepared for several weeks.

"Xi is the girl in the "Lannad" animation, right?" At this time, the woman behind Li Qin smiled and said, "No wonder I feel that this painting is a bit familiar. Some taxis in our county also printed posters of "Lannad", which foreign tourists liked very much."

Li Qin turned to look at the woman from her fellow countryman: "Is it true or false?"

"Really." Another voice sounded, from Li Qin's father, the old man Meng Huo called her grandfather: "I also saw that kind of car. That animation was amazing. When it was aired last week, the ratings of other TVs dropped."

Li Qin believed it a little, and she also knew that the broadcast of "Lannad" last week was very exciting, causing the ratings of many other TV stations to drop.

"That child is getting bigger and bigger..."

Li Qin couldn't help but sigh. She could guess how busy Meng Huo was, but even so, she had to take the two people behind her to meet him. Meng Huo's grandfather naturally needs no need to say much, and the identity of another woman could not be easily rejected. She was Ji Lan, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Qingcheng County Government.

Li Qin has never disturbed Meng Huo. This is the first time. The reason why she is willing this time is actually because her father brought her good news: Li Cun has given up asking Meng Huo to change her surname.

It has been a matter that has bothered Li Qin for several years. People in Li Village have been putting pressure on her. It is really not a good time for Li Qin to stand between Li Village and Meng Huo, and she often has trouble with the Li family and the village.

She has been standing on Meng Huo's side. Now she finally got to the end. Meng Huo's grandfather came to Ninghai yesterday, and the first thing she did was to tell Li Qin and the others that she would no longer force Meng Huo to change her surname. Therefore, Li Qin, who breathed a sigh of relief, did not stop her father from seeing Meng Huo now.

They all know the situation in recent years. In fact, it is only two hours from Ninghai to Qingcheng since the high-speed rail is opened, and Su Hua also has a high-speed rail passing through Qingcheng in a straight line, which can be reached in about two or three hours.

In such a short period of time, Meng Huo basically never went back. Last year, he ignored Li Cun's stupidity during the Chinese New Year. Now he knows that it is unlikely that Meng Huo will change his surname, and Li Qin's personality is stubborn. Over time, the elderly can only let go of this idea.

But even so, Meng Huo, as the most promising child in Li Village, wanted him to go back and show his face more, so as not to make people laugh at Li Village for a joke, but He Xi did not recognize Li Village.

It was under such a situation that Meng Huo's grandfather was pushed by other people in the village to find his grandson, wanting to invite Meng Huo home to participate in an important event.

"It's here, come in..." Li Qin took out the backup key and opened the door of Meng Huo's apartment. While inviting the two people behind her to come in, she said, "The child has half an hour left to get off work, so just wait a moment."

The old man and Ji Lan slowly walked into the house.

"This house is like a palace..."

The old man was stunned by the decoration of the apartment and felt that this place was a different world. The deputy minister of the Propaganda Department had seen many worlds, but was also shocked by this exquisite, beautiful, bright and glamorous apartment.

"I started to be nervous..." Ji Lan smiled bitterly: "Before I saw Teacher He Xi, I felt his pressure when I entered the door."

"Don't be nervous, sit down, just watch here, just watch it." Li Qin smiled and asked the two of them to sit down. However, the old man just sat down on the sofa in the living room and immediately stood up again: "Go down, go down... Is the sofa collapsed?"

Ji Lan laughed "Puff": "Old man, this kind of sofa is just like this, it's very soft to sit down."

Li Qin looked at her father angrily and funny. She has redecorated her parents' home in recent years, but the two old people are not used to the soft chairs and huang shops, and Li Qin has not prepared for them this time, making a joke.

"How could there be such a soft sofa, which doesn't look like cotton inside. What kind of thing is it?" The old man was still shocked. He tentatively tentatively on the sofa with his hands: "I said Qinzi, how much does this sofa cost?"

"No money..." Li Qin made tea while cooking, saying, "This apartment was granted by the company. There was a nanny, but he fired him."

The old man was stunned. This was really amazing. The life of this grandson seemed to be more comfortable than that of the high-ranking officials! He thought so, and then, under Li Qin's urging, he finally sat firmly on the sofa.

"This sofa sits like water..."

After sitting down, the old man still looked incredible. Li Qin smiled and poured tea for him. The old man picked it up and drank it, which was even more amazing. After drinking the tea, he felt that the tea he had drunk in his life had turned into boiled water.

"It smells so fragrant and it tastes not bitter. Where can I buy this tea? Can I ask that child Meng Huo to buy a few kilograms for me?"

"Puff..." Ji Lan, who was drinking tea, almost couldn't help but spit it out. She finally managed to hold it back and said, "I said, "My grandma, don't treat this tea as the kind of tea sold in the market. This cannot be calculated by pounds!"

Ji Lan has a certain understanding of tea. This is the best tea she has ever drunk. Although she doesn't know what kind of tea it is, the price is definitely extremely expensive, and a small dish can scare people.

"Sister Qin, what kind of tea is this?" Ji Lan was very close to Li Qin's name, but in fact she was the same age as Li Qin and was only two months late.

"Tea? This... I don't know, just take it casually." Li Qin didn't understand tea, so she naturally wouldn't understand that the tea in Meng Huo's house was also top-notch... Meng Huo rarely drinks tea on weekdays, and the things in the house were given by others, so there wouldn't be any defective products.

"Can you take it casually..." Ji Lan smiled bitterly. He Xi's life should be so luxurious. It's a pity that she was not born twenty years later and had no daughter, otherwise she would have to come and catch a rich son-in-law.

Forty or fifty minutes later, Meng Huo came back.

"Sorry, I've been delayed for a while on the road." He walked into the house. He saw the old man at a glance and smiled: "Grandpa, long time no see, you look much better than before. You're still healthy recently!"

The old man stood up: "Thanks to your mother, she always buys supplements for us."

Seeing his grandson, somehow, the old man actually felt a sense of tension and restraint. But Meng Huo did not notice his nervousness, and his eyes turned to Ji Lan who was also standing up: "This is Minister Ji, right?"

"Yes. Teacher He Xi, please forgive me for being here for this time." Ji Lan looked a little excited. This is He Xi, who is worthy of being a national-level young idol, and his appearance and temperament are comparable to ordinary people.

The two guests made Meng Huo's apartment much more lively, but after the warm greetings, there was still some serious matters. Li Qin told Meng Huo that she would bring the two of them here, but she did not explain clearly on the phone what was going on.

The old man and Ji Lan had different visits. The first thing he said was Meng Huo’s grandfather.

"The new ancestral tomb has been built."

After listening to it, Meng Huo suddenly realized that Li Village had a common ancestor, the ancestor who established Li Village. This is how the Chinese villages were derived from it. Many villages can trace their origins to an ancestor, and it is very important for ancestors to move their graves.

Li Village planned to build a new ancestral tomb a few years ago. After choosing the place and date, construction will finally start this year. But after the construction is completed, there will be a folk ceremony, which requires all the people with the blood of Li Village to attend.

"That day, everyone in Li Village, who worked and studied outside, as well as women who had married inside and outside, and their children would come back." The old man looked at Meng Huo with a little nervousness: "The village hopes you can come back too."

Meng Huo rarely goes home, and this time the matter is very important. The village is worried that he will not participate, so he specially asked his grandfather to come and persuade him.

However, Meng Huo still remembers this ceremony. He forgot what it was called, but he also experienced it in his previous life. It was a very lively event. Four or five hundred people attended, most of whom were people he didn't know. Although Li Qin had passed away, his uncle still took him to attend. He still remembered that he had lit incense.

I haven't escaped in my previous life, how can I avoid it in this life?

Moreover, Meng Huo's status is different now. He is a pride for Li Cun. Although he is not a member of his family, he could have made excuses to not go, but now that Meng Huo has become the number one cartoonist in China, it is difficult for Meng Huo to escape.

The entire Li Village hopes that Meng Huo can attend and show his face to the village, and if he goes back, he will definitely be the important protagonist. Meng Huo heard from Li Qin that many aunts and aunts who have married out of town have also returned home for the New Year in the past two years. The purpose is to meet Meng Huo. This time, such a good opportunity, those people must be full of expectations for his attendance.

Therefore, for Li Village, whether Meng Huo can go back is very important. If he can go back to attend the ceremony, the number of participants will definitely increase, and the money received by the village will also increase. Perhaps even the county government will send people to join in the fun.

Whether it is Yuxiang or Yuli, there is a reason why Meng Huo’s grandfather personally convinced him.

"Do you want to go?" Meng Huo glanced at Li Qin, but Li Qin turned around and avoided his sight.

"Mom is really..." Meng Huo couldn't help but smile. Li Qin's attitude meant that she didn't want to interfere in this matter, but Meng Huo understood that she must have hoped that she could go back. After all, Licun was Li Qin's home since she was a child.

However, Li Qin didn't want to make things difficult for Meng Huo. This is why Meng Huo felt most distressed. Whenever something happened, Li Qin would stand on Meng Huo's side to think. No matter how much pressure she was, she always put her son first. Even if Meng Huo had achieved success and fame, Li Qin never asked him for it. Not only did she not bother Meng Huo, she also tried her best to avoid asking for Meng Huo and avoid becoming a mother who caused trouble.

This made Meng Huo both distressed and proud. Where can I find such a gentle mother? What else can he complain about? Even to report on her, Meng Huo knew what choice he should make now.

"When exactly?" Meng Huo asked.

"November 9!" The old man showed joy on his face, and it seemed that it was not difficult to convince Meng Huo.

"Nine?" Meng Huo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How could it be this day!"

The old man felt nervous: "What's wrong with this day?"

"I will attend the premiere of an animated movie next month on the 10th, and there will be a related banquet in Ninghai on the evening of the Ninth." Meng Huo explained: "I don't know if I can turn it off. If I can't turn it off, I can only stay in Qingcheng until three o'clock in the afternoon, and then I have to rush back to Ninghai."

He calculated the time and asked, "Is this OK?"

The banquet is the banquet of "The Sword of Immortality". This movie premiered on the 10th. The dinner of the 9th is very important. Not only are there all kinds of big names, but I heard that many cartoonists from Zhongxia Company will also appear. Meng Huo wants to see if he can meet the author of "The Country of Ice and Fire".

"At three o'clock in the afternoon..." Meng Huo's grandfather thought for a while and nodded, "I think there is no problem with this time. If you come early, the ceremony will end in the morning. Then the village will hold a banquet at 12 o'clock. After that, if you are not free, you can leave early."

His grandson is now a big man that everyone envies. In the concept of the old man, this kind of person is very busy and time is very precious. He is mentally prepared. Meng Huo's words make him feel that this grandson does feel like a big man.

Meng Huo breathed a sigh of relief, and it was much easier now. If he just attended a ceremony and had lunch, there was no need to worry about too many strange relatives having to deal with it. To be honest, he hated dealing with those people, but perhaps this was because the wounds in his previous life had not healed yet...

"What about Minister Ji?" Meng Huo put away his thoughts and turned his gaze to Ji Lan, who had never had a hole in the air: "Does you come to see me this time? Is it the County Magistrate Yang's intention?"

"Nothing can be hidden from Teacher He Xi..." Ji Lan smiled, then opened the bag he brought with him, took out a letter from it, handed it to Meng Huo and said, "This is a thank you letter written by County Mayor Yang on behalf of the people of the county, and this time Uncle Li came to find you, so I followed you with shamelessness."

Meng Huo did not open the letter: "Thank me? What are you grateful for?"
