Uncle Wang Liang is a careful person. In less than twenty days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. At this time, I will bring my fourth aunt here so that she can celebrate the festival with us.

My grandfather's mind has become more active. When this Mid-Autumn Festival is over, he may be able to fully accept his fourth aunt and the family will be reunited in harmony from now on.

After Uncle Wang Liang and I arrived in Leizi Village, we did not disturb our uncle and the others. In their eyes, the fourth aunt was still a crazy witch with a bad style and political problems. Therefore, they did not interact with the fourth aunt at all on weekdays. Even if the fourth aunt disappeared, it would probably not attract their attention.

Since this is the case, there is no need to make any public statement about the fourth aunt going to Chudu. Otherwise, it would be another trouble to be heard by their rumor and rumor to grandpa again.

Santana passed by the village and stopped directly behind the dilapidated temple where the fourth aunt lived.

When I got out of the car, I saw the fourth aunt standing on the lump of soil behind the dilapidated temple, looking southeast. Isn’t that the direction of Chudu?

Seeing our car, the fourth aunt smiled happily, feeling relieved. I knew that she had been waiting, waiting for me to fulfill her promise and take her to Chudu Life.

Is this the psychology of the elderly? You have to be strong in your mouth, but in fact, you all hope to be with your relatives in your heart. Although the fourth aunt is not an ordinary person, she is like an ordinary elderly person, afraid of loneliness and loneliness.

"Miss Fourth, we will pick you up to Chudu, let's leave now?"

I giggled and ran into the dirt bump.

"Good boy, the fourth aunt cleans up and leaves.

Uncle Wang Liang and I went to the temple with her, and we saw that almost all the things were cleared, leaving only a bed and a table. I don’t know where the appliances I had seen in the basement were used to go.

"Miss Fourth, where is your TV and refrigerator?"

"I gave it to the juniors at home. They are quite miserable. Some of them don't have a TV yet." The fourth aunt smiled and said, "I can't take it away anyway, so it's a pity if I lose it..."

"Then they didn't ask where you were going?"

These home appliances were good things in the early 1990s and no one would throw them away. But my fourth aunt gave them to others. If she had a little brain, she would probably guess that she was leaving Leizi Village.

"Hehe, I'm an old lady, who would ask me where I'm going?"

Although the fourth aunt was still smiling, a hint of loneliness climbed on her face: "They accepted the things for them, but no one asked me, even if it was just a question, hehe..."

"Miss Fourth, we're leaving..."

Uncle Wang Liang smiled and said, "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, Xiaodong's grandfather is still waiting for you to celebrate the festival together..."

"Really?" Aunt Fourth's body trembled and she stared at me with questions in her eyes.

"Of course it's true. My grandfather, my parents are waiting for you to celebrate the festival together." I smiled.

In fact, my dad sent back a few days ago, saying that he had arrived at Jiayuguan and was about to enter Xinjiang soon. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I probably might not be able to come back. This time, my mom wanted to notify him, but later I saw that I was fine, so that my dad and Grandpa Fan would not worry.

However, in order to make the fourth aunt happy, borrowing the name of her father should not be anything else, right?

"Okay, okay, Xiaodong, let's go to Chudu, go to Chudu."

I saw tears flashing in my fourth aunt's eyes...

***

The residence that Uncle Wang Liang found for his fourth aunt was an old-fashioned yard. Although it was not the city center, it was considered a city area. Moreover, it was only a dozen minutes' drive from my grandfather's house. There was a vegetable market nearby and a newly built Huike supermarket chain, which was very convenient for life.

The fourth aunt may have lived alone for a long time. Soon after she arrived at the place, she got familiar with the surrounding area and bought some essential items, beds, tables, etc., and her life started like this.

I originally wanted to invite my fourth aunt to my grandfather's house, but my fourth aunt shook her head and laughed in a low voice: "Xiaodong is not in a hurry, give my third brother some time. I will go to my house in a few days."

When I saw the fourth aunt say this, I guess she was confident and didn't force her. So I helped her make the first meal when I came to Chudu with Uncle Wang Liang. After eating it lively, I said goodbye to leave. The fourth aunt also needed a rest.

The next day was my first day of school. When I arrived at school, my classmates came over to ask me about my well-being and asked me how I was recovering. I smiled and raised my arms, put on a cool posture, indicating that I could knock down a cow at any time. The classmates immediately laughed, but no one asked me why I fainted by the Qinglian Pool on a rainy day.

When I was over school, as soon as I walked out of the school gate, I saw the Huang Da reporter who loved to cause trouble riding a big red Yamaha motorcycle and parked outside the school with a smile. When I saw me coming out, I immediately shouted loudly: "Zhang Dong, Zhang Dong, here!" I seemed to be afraid that I would not see him.

I ran to him and said strangely: "Uncle Huang, why are you here today and here to pick up Teacher Fan? I saw that she was still in the office just now, why would I call you?"

"No, she can't leave even if the sky falls."

Uncle Huang smiled and said, "I'll look for you boy, there's something good."

"Good thing?" I was stunned. I was so weak lately that I have not recovered yet. What else can I do?

"Hehe, take a look..." Uncle Huang took out a newspaper from his body with a mysterious look on his face and raised it in front of me: "The special report I wrote about the old camphor tree..."

What? I heard that it was a special report about Lao Zhangshu, so I immediately became serious, took the newspaper and glanced at it, and opened my mouth wide in surprise.

"Exploring the origin of the thousand-year-old divine wood, Su Xue-san planted it himself..."

Bachelor Su? This name is very familiar.

I looked carefully and was immediately amazed and crying.

Where is this?

This report says that after investigation and research by the Municipal Green Committee, it was confirmed that the old camphor tree is a spiritual tree with a thousand years of age, and it is very big. It was actually planted by Su Shi, the famous historical figure, when he was an official in Chudu...

I read this article carefully several times, and that's right, it's the great writer Su Shi and Su Dongpo who wrote "The river goes east, the waves wash away, and the eternal heroes."

"Is this a verified test by the Municipal Green Committee?"

I really don’t know what to say. I don’t know when it started, but a gust of celebrity gusts blew up all over the country, and I tried my best to pull historical celebrities into my own acres.

Not long ago, Dafeng County and Fengliang County, which also belonged to the capital of Chu, made a fuss to the province in order to compete for Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, but the province could not solve it. So Emperor Gaozu of Han became awesome, and later generations forced him to create two former residences, one in Dafeng County and the other in Fengliang County...

There is also Su Dike in Chu Metropolis, and there is also a Hanhe Pavilion on Yunlong Mountain that is said to be built by Su Dongpo. Uncle Huang’s article links the old camphor tree with this historical celebrity, which is quite a real story.

But I know very well that the old camphor tree is my Taoist companion. I can’t feel how many years it is? It’s no more than five hundred years at most. How could it be impossible to contact Su Dongpo together...

"Can those people in the Green Committee still have this ability? They just found out that the old camphor tree is an ancient tree, but when I thought, it would take great publicity, so I put Su Dongpo on it."

Uncle Huang looked at me with a smile: "Happy Xiaodong? You became a friend of Vice Mayor Li because of this tree. As soon as Uncle's report came out, you and Old Li were very proud."

"Old Li?"

I looked at Uncle Huang up and down: "Uncle Huang, aren't you going to flatter me?"

"What are you talking about? I'm considering the cultural atmosphere of Chu City. You don't think about it. As soon as this report is released, even if Hanshan has historical relics and scenic spots, it can be developed in the future and engage in tourism. The whole city is happy to see it. Why do you say it is flattering?"

Uncle Huang smiled embarrassedly: "Zhang Dong, your Uncle Huang is not young anymore, you have to allow me to move forward, let's go..."

"Go? Where to go?"

"Of course I went to Hanshan. Today, the people from the Green Committee and the Garden Bureau have arrived. They have to wear red and hanging colors on the old camphor tree, set off firecrackers, surround iron guardrails, paint white paint, and set up signs. After today, it is the treasure of Chu City, a thousand-year-old sacred tree!"

"Ah, today?"

My heart was thrilled, and I jumped on Uncle Huang's Yamaha without thinking and shouting, "Go away."

"Drink, you guy, are you very skilled?"

Uncle Huang looked at me in surprise and started the motorcycle.

***

When we arrived at Hanshan, we saw that the foot of Hanshan, which was originally remote and no one was willing to come, was full of cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and policemen who were maintaining order. The police leader was Director He who fought with me that day.

Many reporters with long spears and short cannons were rushing to the mountain. Uncle Huang murmured: "What are you robbing? I've eaten the top vegetables, and they'll be leftovers when I go up."

I walked quickly to the mountain and was shocked by the big scene in front of me. Is this Hanshan?

The poor old camphor tree is now wearing red color, dressed up like a bride, and the iron fence used to protect the trees has been circled, and the red paint on it has not dried yet.

A table was temporarily set up in front of the old camphor tree, with tables and chairs on it. Several people who looked like leaders sat on it. There were signs in front of them, all of which were Green Committee and the leader of the Garden Bureau. The name of Li Yuejin was written on the middle sign.

Deputy Mayor Li, he shouldn't care about this matter. Why are he here to join in the fun?

I looked up at the banner hanging above the platform - the words "The thousand-year-old divine wood is rooted in Chudu, and all the spiritual veins in all directions are collected in Pengcheng". I suddenly felt a little suspicious. Isn't this considered feudal superstition?

I felt a little uneasy. The momentum was so loud that it would be difficult for me to study my homework quietly with Lao Zhangshu in the future, right?
