Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

In addition, we must find ways to make some real contributions to our hometown.

With this psychological change, everything that followed went more smoothly.

The group went directly to Zuo Mingyuan's grave.

It was said that when Zuo Mingyuan was killed by spies, it was during the chaos of war, and his only son and daughter-in-law were not around. The burial was rather sloppy. He was buried hastily in a cemetery with several people from the same clan in a thin coffin.

It's totally inconsistent with his status as a big shot.

But in troubled times, human life was worth less than grass, so being able to be buried in a thin coffin was already good enough. At least it was much better than those starving people who died on the roadside.

Upon learning that Zuo Yixian was returning to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors, Longhe County finally found Zuo Mingyuan's grave, which had long been buried in weeds. Longhe County sent people to clean it up and hastily erected a tombstone, finally giving it some semblance of normalcy.

Zuo Yixian was only a few years old when he left his hometown.

I don't have any impression of my grandfather, so naturally I don't feel too sad.

In front of everyone, I couldn't force myself to cry.

As for just howling a few times, that's even more embarrassing.

So in the end, Mr. Kenichi Aoki had no choice but to mutter a few words in front of his grandfather's grave, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and then wiped his eyes with a sad expression, rubbing his eyes until they turned red. He could barely be considered to have some emotion.

It's enough to just pretend.

But he had money, so he asked his comrades in Longhe County to buy him a lot of fireworks and firecrackers, which crackled in front of the grave for half an hour. It was very lively and also won some face for his grandfather.

Afterwards, accompanied by county leaders, he found the fellow tribesmen who had collected his grandfather's remains and gave each family a gift to express his gratitude.

The gifts are quite generous.

There were snacks, canned food, malted milk, and some small items bought in the south, which are rare in the mainland. Four families each received a large red envelope of 200 yuan.

In the countryside at that time, this was a huge sum of money.

This made the neighbors jealous, and they secretly blamed their own parents and grandparents in their hearts, asking why they didn't help take care of the old man's funeral.

This is a huge loss!

Coincidentally, three of the four families who helped collect Zuo Mingyuan's remains now live in the Zuo family's ancestral home.

As a prominent family in Huangtu Town, Zuo Mingyuan's ancestral home is a large courtyard.

Zuo Mingyuan died, and his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson fled abroad. Naturally, this large courtyard could not remain empty forever, and it had long been allocated to poor and lower-middle peasants to live in. Zuo Mingyuan's bedroom and study were also vacated in the past few days.

A family that originally lived in these rooms also moved out two days ago.

The house was cleaned and felt tidy.

Zuo Yixian immediately made a request to the Longhe County Party Committee Secretary, saying that he hoped to stay in the ancestral home for two days to show his filial piety. He also said that he could buy back the houses and use them as places to enshrine the ancestral tablets.

These requirements are relatively reasonable.

After all, this was his family's ancestral home. Now he was willing to pay to redeem it and enshrine the ancestral tablets, which was completely in line with the traditional national filial piety.

The Longhe County Party Committee Secretary smiled and said, "Mr. Zuo, this is your family's ancestral home, so it's only right that we return it to you now. You don't have to pay for it. However, you may need to pay for the repairs yourself."

Zuo Yixian was overjoyed and said repeatedly, "Of course, of course, that's as it should be, that's as it should be... Thank you, Secretary Cao, thank you very much!"

With the county party secretary present in person, many things become easier to do.

Soon, Zuo Mingyuan's bedroom was cleaned again, the bedding was replaced with new ones, and he also bought a kettle, towels, toothbrushes and other daily necessities.

If you are staying for a long time, you will definitely need to buy a lot of supplies, but if you are just staying for two days temporarily, it is not a big problem.

By the time all this was done, it was getting dark.

The county party secretary, director of the Foreign Trade and Economic Commission and other leaders said goodbye and left.

After all, they all have official duties to attend to and it is impossible for them to stay here with Zuo Yixian all the time.

But Liu Hongyi stayed.

The armed forces minister of Huangtu Town also stayed in the courtyard to accompany them.

They will all stay here tonight.

It's impossible to let Zuo Yixian spend the night here alone.

After dinner, several elders from the Zuo family came over to chat with him for a while. Zuo Yixian bought some cakes, fruits, and tea for them to enjoy. They talked about things from the past and expressed their feelings, which was quite lively.

There is no nightlife these days and everyone goes to bed early.

At around eight o'clock, the elders said goodbye and left one after another.

Zuo Yixian closed the door, lay down on the bed, and pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside.

It was impossible to sleep.

As I get closer and closer to my goal, you can imagine how excited I am.

However, as a commercial spy, Zuo Yixian still possessed the basic qualities of a secret agent and was very patient. He waited until three in the morning, making sure everyone was asleep, then he got out of bed, turned on his flashlight, and began his action.

Anyone with common sense knows that between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. is when people are most sleepy.

The flashlight was covered with a piece of cloth, and it was difficult to see the light from the outside.

There is a wall between the bedroom and the main room.

It is a wall-clamped design and cannot be seen from the outside.

The "secret treasure" left by Zuo Mingyuan is hidden in this wall.

To be honest, Zuo Yixian didn't initially hold out much hope for this "treasure hunt." Besides his sensitive identity, his biggest concern was his uncertainty about whether the old house still existed.

There was chaos and war back then, and after so many years, the old house might have been razed to the ground.

Now, the ancestral home is intact, and with the help of Liu Hongyi, he has moved in smoothly. Everything is like a dream, so smooth that it is unbelievable.

Of course, after Zuo Yixian opened the mechanism in the wall, his expression became even more unbelievable.

Because the wall is empty, there is nothing in it!

And just at this moment, there was another knock on the door.

The very gentle knock on the door, in the dead of night, sounded so thrilling...
