After resigning, I want to go back to the village to grow sweet potatoes

Chapter 64 Rename
Lin's Ancestral Hall used to be the most sacred and dignified place in Clear Water Bay, a symbol of the supreme power and morality of this small mountain village.

In the past, people with foreign surnames and women were strictly forbidden to enter the Lin's ancestral hall, including Lin Xizhen.

The last patriarch, that is, Lin Xizhen's father, he opened the door of the ancestral hall resolutely and served as the command post of the YJ team.

The YJ team did not enter the gate of the ancestral hall no matter what, saying that even if they built a grass shed in the mountain, they must respect the protection of the villagers for their family.

Patriarch Lin had no choice, so he gave up his house as the command post of the YJ team, and moved into the ancestral hall by himself.

Later, the commander who recovered from his wounds in Qingshuiwan wrote down the four characters "Daren Dayi" and presented them to Patriarch Lin before returning to the army, expressing his affirmation and gratitude to him, and asking Zhuang Su who stayed in Qingshuiwan to sacrifice his own life. Life must also protect Lin's ancestral hall.

Zhuang Su kept in mind the commander's instruction and protected Lin's ancestral hall as well as his own eyes.

During this period, from time to time, outsiders came to covet Lin's ancestral hall, thinking that there must be rare treasures in such an ancient building.

Some even wanted to dismantle the bricks and tiles of Lin's ancestral hall and transport them to big cities to sell them.

Zhuang Su guarded Lin's ancestral hall day and night to ensure that this ancient building was not damaged in the slightest.

A hundred years after the head of the Lin clan, Zhuang Su himself grew old, in order to avoid damage to the Lin clan's ancestral hall.He led the villagers to build a big tent with moso bamboo around the Lin's ancestral hall. protective suit.

In this way, outsiders do not know that there is an ancient ancestral hall in Qingshuiwan.

Over time, weeds and vines grew outside the big tent.Even the young people in this village don't know that there is such a ancestral hall, they just think it is a dry bamboo canopy.

The key to the gate of Lin's ancestral hall is only in the hands of Zhuang Su. Usually, he will ask the old man surnamed Lin to go in from a small hole next to him to clean it in the morning and evening when there is no one there.

Zhuang Su himself never entered the Lin's ancestral hall, because he was a man with a foreign surname, and he had to abide by the Lin family's rules.

When Lin Xizhen returned to Qingshuiwan Village, Zhuang Su believed that she should return to her original position and be worshiped by her tribe.Then he discussed with the old people surnamed Lin and removed the big tent, so that the Lin's ancestral hall could be seen again.

It just so happened that the big tent was just dismantled yesterday afternoon, and the real body of Lin's ancestral hall was discovered today by Lao Wang's cultural relics who came to the site for inspection.

"Xiao Yan, you and I stand at the door, don't go in."

After Zhuang Su opened the door, he didn't go in by himself. Seeing Zhuang Yan raised his leg, he immediately stopped him.

"Grandpa, why don't we go in and have a look?"

Solemnly wondered.

"Xiao Yan, only people with the Lin surname can enter here. You and I belong to foreign surnames, so we cannot enter without authorization."

"What about Wang Laowen's cultural relics?"

"They are people from above. In the past, they were called G. People from the G family could come in and out at will."

"Oh, I see, Grandpa."

Solemnly stood next to Zhuang Su, but the young heart was still curious about what the inside of this ancient building, which was called a national treasure by Wang Lao's cultural relics, looked like.Can't help but look sideways to look inside:

Seeing that Wang Laowen took out a notebook and a magnifying glass, he read and took notes, and was very devoted.

Xu Yibing and the staff of several other departments were amazed while visiting, with solemn expressions, and did not dare to speak loudly.

With Lin Xi's support, Lin Xizhen walked into the room, probably looking at old things, thinking about people when seeing things, so she might not be able to come out for a while.

"Gathering families in Weiming Mountain, benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, and the world; Sitang opens up clear water, and culture, military, agriculture and animal husbandry revitalize the family."

Solemnly recited softly a couplet on the pillars on both sides of the main hall of the ancestral hall.

"Xiao Yan, the Lin family lives together in Qingshui Bay at the foot of Daming Mountain. It is not easy to prosper to this day. They regard benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom as their family traditions, advocate civil and military skills, and manage the family frugally in farming and animal husbandry. They deserve our respect."

"Grandpa, does our dealer have an ancestral hall?"

"Xiao Yan, the ancestral hall of our Zhuang clan is in Ningzhou, and your great-grandfather used to be the head of the clan."

"Grandpa, is our ancestral hall in Ningzhou still there?"

"Things are different and people are different. It's hard to return to the old place. How do you know if the ancestral hall exists? Xiao Yan, you should be content to be a Qingshuiwan villager, and don't think about it."

"Grandpa, I understand. If there is a chance, I will take you back to Ningzhou to have a look. How about it?"

"Back? Easier said than done?"

"Grandpa, cars are very convenient now."

"Didn't you hear what I said just now that things are different and people are different? It's hard to go back to the old place? I don't have the face to go back..."

"Grandpa, let's go back to Ningzhou as a family when the folks in Qingshuiwan Village become rich. The Zhuang family is needed there."

"Xiao Yan, didn't I tell you not to think wildly?"

"Grandpa, seeing the words 'Lin's Ancestral Hall' on the head, I don't know why I especially want to see the words 'Zhuang's Ancestral Hall'."

"Xiao Yan, I can still live with the surname Zhuang, all thanks to the YJ team. The soldiers who rescued me died here. I must guard their graves for the rest of my life. The folks in Qingshuiwan Village, in order to protect the YJ team, regardless of life and death, are worth it. I will guard it for the rest of my life. As for the Zhuang’s ancestral hall, you and I should always keep it in our hearts. Although the devil’s fire burned it, the invisible is better than the visible, and the Ningzhou Zhuang family is worthy of the Zhuang’s ancestors.”

"Grandpa, I understand."

"As long as you know!"

Seeing tears overflowing from the corners of Zhuang Su's eyes, Zhuang Yan wanted to reach out and wipe them away.Zhuang Su turned around, stretched out his hand to wipe it away, and looked back with a calm face.

This is Zhuang Su, an octogenarian who is unyielding and calm.

"What are you grandpa and grandson standing there for? Where's the LD from above?"

Solemnly turned out from the corner of the stone house in front.

Lin's ancestral hall is at the end of Qingshuiwan Old Village, backed by Daming Mountain.

"Dad, Grandma Xi and everyone are in the ancestral hall."

"Oh, it's time for lunch, you say hello to everyone."

Zhuang Zhong said as he walked to Zhuang Su and Zhuang Yan, the three generations of the Zhuang family stood in front of the steps of Lin's ancestral hall in order.

When Zhuang Yan was about to greet Xu Yibing and the others for lunch, Lin Xizhen stumbled from the back room and came straight to the gate, with Lin Xi chasing after her closely.

"Three generations of men from the Zhuang family are here, please be respected by my little daughter Xizhen from the Lin family!"

Lin Xizhen fell to her knees, knocking her head on the threshold, and blood oozed from her forehead.

"Ximeizi, what are you doing?"

"Aunt Xi, get up quickly."

"Grandma Xi, Grandma Xi..."

Solemn and Solemn helped Lin Xizhen up across the threshold, and Lin Xi rushed to support her.

Xu Yibing and several personnel from relevant departments in the county, including Wang Lao's cultural relics who had forgotten themselves to be in the ancient ancestral hall for investigation, didn't know what happened, so they hurriedly surrounded them.

"Brother Su, I'm going to ring the big bell today to summon all the descendants of the Lin family in Qingshuiwan Village. The LD from the county will testify and change the Lin's ancestral hall to the Zhuang's ancestral hall!"

After Lin Xizhen finished speaking, she broke free from Lin Xi who was supporting her, stepped over the threshold of the ancestral hall, stumbled and rushed under an old camphor tree in front of the ancestral hall, grabbed the bell rope with both hands, and rang a big bell hanging on the ancient tree with all her strength.

The bell, which had been sleeping for decades, rang, and all the people surnamed Lin at home in Qingshuiwan Village immediately gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall, regardless of gender, and even Grandpa Lin Xi was carried to the scene by Lin Desheng.

"Everyone from the Lin family, I, Lin Xizhen, will announce a major event to you today as the eldest daughter of the Lin family in Qingshuiwan Village. From today onwards, the Lin's ancestral hall will be changed to the Zhuang's ancestral hall, and the LDs from the county will testify .”

Lin Xizhen announced loudly standing on the steps in the middle of the entrance of the ancestral hall.

"Ximeizi, absolutely not, you are trying to ruin us."

Solemn, Solemn, and Solemn have retreated below the steps.

"It must be changed, and all the children surnamed Lin in Qingshuiwan Village must have the surname Zhuang if they give birth to a child in the future."

Lin Xizhen's words shocked the villagers of Qingshuiwan Village more than changing the name of the ancestral hall.
