The city's number one tycoon

Chapter 234

However, for some reason, they couldn't see Ma Yunteng's face clearly.

Because all the reporters who came to take pictures received red envelopes from Ma Yunteng, and they were strictly forbidden from exposing Ma Yunteng's image.

The singers who came to support the event were also very happy, and Xue Zhiqian even won first place with his song "The Actor" and received a reward of 100 million yuan.

However, everyone felt that first place should be awarded to Ma Yunteng.

It can be said that Ma Yunteng's song "Desert Camel" has captivated everyone.

After the villagers and all the celebrities left, the Ma family gradually quieted down.

Lin Shike and Li Xiyue found a room to sleep early, while Ma Yunteng drank heartily with his cousin and a group of relatives. Having not seen each other for a long time, they seemed to have endless topics to talk about.

However, today is my cousin's wedding day after all, and we can't delay his time to enter the bridal chamber, can we?

So, making up an excuse, Ma Yunteng returned to his room, stretched, and began to sleep.

Nothing was said that night.

The next morning was Lunar New Year's Eve.

Ma Yunteng was awakened by the sound of firecrackers around him, so he quickly went outside and found Lin Shike and Li Xiyue making dumplings with their mother in the hall.

"Good morning." Ma Yunteng smiled slightly and looked at the three of them.

"You still know when to get up? What time is it? Go wash up, you'll be going to Shangling with your uncle and the others later!" Ma Yunteng's mother said.

The so-called "shangling" refers to the practice of paying respects to one's ancestors, namely grandparents or even older generations, on the morning of Lunar New Year's Eve. Only male members of the family can participate in the worship.

"Okay, I understand," Ma Yunteng smiled and walked towards the door. As soon as he stepped outside, he noticed that light snowflakes were falling in the air, and the boundary between heaven and earth became very hazy, as if everything was draped in a white veil.

"Brother, the road is too slippery, let's walk across!" My uncle and cousin also arrived at the door.

“Okay! We’ll walk there,” Ma Yunquan said.

"No need, right? My cousin has a plane, why don't we fly over there?" My cousin laughed and looked at the helicopter on the open ground outside the yard.

Flying a helicopter to the mausoleum?

Upon hearing his cousin's words, Ma Yunteng was momentarily stunned.

In Langzhuang, the annual visits to the imperial tombs reveal a host of problems.

On the morning of Lunar New Year's Eve, many people will show off their most glorious side to other villagers.

Ma Yunteng recalled that when he was a child, when he went to the mausoleum, everyone would walk all the way to the tomb, regardless of whether it was snowing or not.

As living standards improve, some people have started to drive motorcycles or electric bikes to the mausoleum.

In the past two years, almost everyone who goes to Shangling drives there in a car. Anyone who owns a car will show it off at this time.

Many young people in the village, driven by vanity, are willing to rent cars from outside to go home to the ancestral tomb.

In this respect, the village chief's family is the most envied. Two years ago, the village chief's family started driving BMWs to Shangling, which made many villagers green with envy.

"Alright! Let's fly over to the mausoleum then!" Ma Yunteng said after washing up.

Without hesitation, the three quickly boarded the helicopter, which slowly ascended into the air amidst the light snowflakes and flew towards the cemetery!

"Holy crap, what's that?" A driver in a Volkswagen sedan felt a shadow pass overhead and immediately stopped the car to look up.

"It looks like a helicopter from the Ma family!"

"Flying a helicopter to the mausoleum? This... the Ma family's ancestral graves are going to be smoking!"

"Wow! This helicopter looks so high-tech! I really want to ride in it, even just once!"

"Sigh! I'm not driving to Shangling next year, I'm walking! Compared to the Ma family, we're all so embarrassing!"

The helicopter attracted a lot of attention along the way, and many villagers who drove to Shangling were envious. However, despite their envy, no one said that the Ma family was being ostentatious.

After all, they can easily invite countless big stars, so what's a helicopter?

"Yun Teng, what did you do to earn so much money? This plane must have cost a lot of money!" On the plane, Ma Yun Teng's uncle couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the luxurious and high-end interior decorations.

"Yeah! Not expensive, only about a billion?" Ma Yunteng laughed.

To be honest, in Ma Yunteng's eyes, a billion or so is not much! Now he has to complete a spending task of several hundred billion, so a billion or so is just a few cents to him!

"Over a billion!!!"

The group was immediately astonished! A billion or so was not considered expensive!

"Let's fly to Grandpa and Grandma's cemetery. They'll be so happy if they knew!"

Hmm... I hope so!

After the three of them devoutly paid their respects to their ancestors, they quickly returned to their respective homes to have breakfast.

Lin Shike and Li Xiyue's dumplings were quite good, almost as good as Ma Yunteng's mother's! After breakfast, Lin Shike and Li Xiyue busied themselves preparing the New Year's Eve dinner with Ma Yunteng's mother.

Ma Yunteng's mother is very satisfied with her two daughters-in-law!

The custom in Ma Yunteng's hometown is to eat a light lunch and then enjoy the New Year's Eve dinner while watching the Spring Festival Gala in the evening.

After lunch, Ma Yunteng and his father put up couplets together. While doing so, Ma Yunteng noticed that his father had a lot of gray hair, and he felt a pang of sadness.

Time waits for no one, and our parents are gradually growing old!
