Chapter 135 Meeting at the Ancestral Hall

Hearing her father's words, Qibao, who had remained rational in both lives, was also a little moved. He threw himself into Xu Laosan's arms and said, "Dad, thank you!" She thought this was family affection and fatherly love!What a wonderful feeling it is!
The old man asked: "Boss and Lao Er, do you and your wife have any objections?"

Uncle Xu said: "I have no objection. The family is what it is today because of Qibao. I never thought that one day our family could earn so much money, and I never dared to think that there would be servants around me. I have always treated Qibao as my own daughter." , I support Qibao’s decision.”

Xu Erbo also said: "Brother has the same idea as me, I have no objection."

Although Zhang and Li were a little worried, they nodded in agreement.

The old man nodded and said: "The village chief said that after the villagers get off work in the evening, he will call everyone to the ancestral hall for discussion, and everyone will go together."

Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Yin had already prepared the food and put it on the dining table, and the family just started to have lunch.

...

In the evening, after the villagers had finished work and had dinner, the village chief beat the gongs and drums and organized the villagers to go to the ancestral hall for a meeting. The people who came were those who could be the masters of the family.

The villagers were a little surprised. Normally, meetings would not be held in the ancestral hall where the memorial tablets of the Xu family's ancestors were placed, unless it was about the survival of the Xu clan or important matters. Therefore, they all felt that something big must have happened, and the village chief was We will ask everyone to go to the ancestral hall in the evening.

The ancestral hall in Xujiacun is not very big, and it is not very old. It was built with money jointly contributed by the Xu clan members. Over the years, the furnishings inside have become very old, but they have been cleaned very clean.

The village chief sat at the head, the old man was also beside him, and behind him stood everyone from the Xu family.

At this time, there were densely packed villagers standing around, some even standing outside the door listening.

Seeing everyone gathered, a clan elder asked: "Village chief, what happened to calling everyone here this late at night?"

The village chief said solemnly: "Yes, this matter is related to the Xu family. I can't make the decision for you, so I will let Brother Xu tell you. This matter may change the entire Xu family village."

Everyone was quite surprised. Looking at everyone in the Xu family, Xu Daniu said, "Uncle, what is it? Just tell everyone."

"Yes."

The old man said: "It's like this. Our family wants to build Xujiacun into a holiday village. In the future, everyone can make money at home. However, a lot of manpower and material resources need to be invested in the early stage. We need everyone to help. I wonder if you are willing?"

"What! A tourist village? Is this reliable? Why haven't I heard of any other villages where you can visit?"

"Yes, who among the rich would come to our poor village to play? They must have gone to the big city to enjoy themselves. Why come to our countryside for fun?"

For a while, everyone expressed their doubts, and suddenly the ancestral hall was filled with voices of all kinds of questions.

The village chief said: "Everyone be quiet. Please listen to what I have to say. It's not too late for everyone to express their opinions."

Suddenly, the villagers gradually became silent and looked at the old man waiting for the next step.

The old man told everyone the plan that Qibao said with great emotion. Not to mention, the old man really didn’t read this book in vain. He told everyone his ideal and grand plans for the future one by one. Everyone was very involved in listening and unconsciously I just followed what the old man said, imagining that when my family has money in the future, I can eat meat every day and buy whatever I want.

By the time the old man finished speaking, his mouth was a little dry, and he looked at the villagers, waiting for their answers.

Xu Dafu asked: "Brother, I know that you want to lead everyone to get rich together, but what is the success rate of this matter?" The old man said: "I told everyone when I was sure. After all, I can’t let everyone take risks with our family. Taking a step back, even if this thing doesn’t succeed, as long as my family has something to eat, everyone can have something to eat.”

Xu Daniu patted his chest and said: "Okay! Since my uncle said so, I will follow him! Anyway, I am still young, so what should I be afraid of! If I don't give it a try, I know I will fail! If I don't succeed, I will continue to live the same life as before. You can’t be any poorer!”

"Yes, I am now working in the greenhouse of Uncle Dashan's house, and my mother-in-law works in the wine shop, and sometimes I can get rewards. Together, I can earn more than three taels of silver every month from my income alone. All of this is The Xu family gave it to me, I believe in Uncle Dashan, and I am willing to follow."

Basically, those who said they were willing were the young men and wives working in the Xu family in the village.

The older ones thought more about it and were a little wavering for a while, but after hearing that their sons agreed, thinking that the Xu family was indeed reliable, they had no objections.

An elder said: "Okay, from now on in Xujia Village, you young people will be in charge. We, the older generation, also support you. Anyway, most of our lives have passed and we have not experienced anything. I only hope that you can make your children happy in the future." Live a good life, we didn’t do it when we were young, I hope you can do it, and we can close our eyes with peace of mind after we die.”

Xu Daniu said: "We rely entirely on Uncle Dashan's family to live a better life. Whatever the Xu family decides in the future, I will be the first to stand up and agree!"

Seeing that he had finally persuaded everyone, the old man patted the table proudly and said: "Okay! He is indeed a good son of my Xujia Village! I will leave these words here today. From now on, if my Xu family has food to eat, I will never We won’t starve anyone.”

"Okay! I believed my uncle's words. I thought that my whole life would just pass by like this, but I never thought that there would be such a meaningful thing waiting for me to do. It's worth it!"

The village chief said: "Since everyone has agreed, the elder's family will be the main one from now on. We must unite and avoid internal strife. The Xu family will contribute money and we will contribute. Folks, it's time to fight for our descendants." Done!"

"Correct!"

"The village chief is right!"

The old man said: "Tomorrow I will give the money for the land to the village chief. As long as you bring the land deed, we will collect your land at five taels of silver per acre."

"This fertile land is only sold for five taels. Uncle Dashan, aren't you at a loss?"

The old man waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter if I suffer a loss, I can't let everyone suffer a loss. In the future, we will have no land to harvest food, and we will definitely feel uneasy. With the extra money, everyone will buy more food and keep it at home."

"Okay, thank you very much, Uncle Dashan."

The villagers were discussing happily below.

Qibao pulled the old man and said a few words in his ear.

The old man glanced at Qibao in surprise and said, "Qibao, are you sure?"

Seeing Qibao nodding, the old man coughed slightly and said, "I wonder if everyone at home would like to let their children go to school?"

The crowd fell silent instantly.

A man shouted: "I have never dreamed of it. Although we can get it now, Shu Xiu, but this ink, paper and inkstone is really too expensive."

The old man said: "So I plan to build an academy in the village so that the children in the village can read and learn at home. I won't charge anyone for repairs. I will also prepare pens, inks, paper and inkstones for the children. If the children can learn here It would be great if they are successful in their field. If not, our Xu family will arrange work for them in the future. What do you think?"
