Super little Shennong

Chapter 488 Throwing a Family Banquet
Although the old man of the Li family is old, he is neither blind nor deaf. He glanced at it and nodded: "It's this book. I read it when I was young, when I worshiped my ancestors in the ancestral hall."

Then Hu Dade stood up, took small steps again, and brought him in front of the boss of the Li family. He also knelt on the ground and raised his head above his head.

The boss of the Li family had never experienced such a scene, so he was a little at a loss.

Lao Cai said seriously: "Uncle Li, please look at the genealogy."

The boss of the Li family trembled a little, took the genealogy book with both hands carefully, flipped it carefully, and looked at the incomplete genealogy recorded in ancient calligraphy. Although the cover was a bit incomplete, the inside was still complete, and they were all old things. Absolutely impossible to fake.

Looking at the increase and decrease of names one by one, it almost records the rise and fall of a family...

Especially looking at the war years, behind each name record: join the army, without a trace...

And there are some records from the same year: starvation, crop failure, starvation... and so on, which shocked him even more.

He was even more shocked when he saw the names of his adoptives: Liushanwa's genealogy is simply a record of the tragic portrayal of the Chinese countryside in those years. In Shanwa, there are only a few families left...then they always survived strong and multiplied slowly, and finally had a full house of children today.

He also understood why Liushanwa said it was a family of six surnames, and the six surnames were just branches of various parties, not groups of surnames.Because... the blood of Liushanwa is basically one!In the earliest time, they came from six ancestors, but today, they are actually a complete family of ancestors.

After reading it tremblingly, the boss of the Li family's eyes were a little wet, and then he held it in both hands, but he didn't know how to return it to Hu Dade, he didn't understand the rules here.

Hu Dade knelt down again, raised his hands above his head, and quickly put the genealogy tree on it carefully.

Hu Dade carefully lifted the family tree, then stood up, returned to the table, and handed it back to Lao Cai.

Lao Cai opened it and looked at the other descendants of the Li family: "This genealogy has been verified and read by the elder of your family. If you want to know, ask the elder of the family. Or wait until the Chinese New Year this year, when our new ancestral hall is completed, let's go Going to the new ancestral hall to worship ancestors will be announced at the same time. Our life in the past was not good, and there is no way to do it well. We planned to do it last year, but after all, the Li family was missing. And the ancestral hall... this year is finally It's ok. We have entrusted the Provincial Cultural Relics Museum to help preserve this genealogy. If we keep it like this, it may be destroyed. If we want to read it in the future, we have to go to the museum. We have a credit from our place. In the future, we will Make a new copy. Then continue with a new family tree. After all, we haven't seriously renewed the family tree for our children for several years."

The old man of the Li family nodded: "Okay, I will definitely come when the time comes, if I can live to that day."

Lao Cai looked at the old man of the Li family, and quickly said, "That's necessary. You can live another hundred years."

The old man of the Li family chuckled: "I don't dare to think about living another hundred years... If you can survive one more day, you are making money now."

"Old man, we have to invite you today too. You see, who will be in charge of this branch of the Li family in the future, and who will lead to participate in the affairs of the clan?" Lao Cai looked at the old man and asked seriously.

The eldest of the Li family opened his mouth, but the old man of the Li family walked around him, raised his crutches, and nodded to the youngest son in the family, even though he was the youngest son: "Let the youngest follow."

The boss of the Li family suddenly looked a little embarrassed, after all he is the boss...but...

"Don't even think about it, you are a bit weak-minded. Besides, you are not too young, and you can't handle things if something happens. The youngest is 62, and he is in good health. He can do it for a while. Don't think that this village It’s easy. A priest needs at least four hours, can you hold it? Didn’t you see that the principals of this generation are all young and strong?” The old man of the Li family finally explained to the boss.

The boss of the Li family quickly said: "No, no, I didn't mean that, I just don't understand."

The old man of the Li family gave him a blank look, then turned to look at Lao Cai: "Where are the descendants of the Li family? I have to meet them today. I should have a brother."

Lao Cai sighed: "He is not blessed, and it is also because of the adoption. He has never been settled. He disappeared in his 50s. Now it has been almost 50 years. His lineage is now the third generation. The longest one is your grandchildren. They are all in their [-]s. Now, in their lineage, those in their [-]s are the main ones, and the following ones have reached the sixth generation. Seeing that, the seventh generation will be born soon. .There are several children who are about to get married and have children."

The old man of the Li family sighed: "Yes, it's been too long. But let's do it this way. Tonight, I'll borrow a place and have a family dinner in the restaurant. You all go to help. I can't wait until the end of the year. Now I must hurry. After all, I am too old, and I may have to go at any time."

Everyone was silent. For such an old man, at this age, no one dared to say when he would be gone.

The Li family is also silent. They know that the happiest time in the old man's life is now, but they have an extra family, which always makes them feel weird because they live outside all the year round and don't feel any family atmosphere.

Lao Cai nodded: "Well, that's okay, this is an urgent matter for your house. You should go back to rest first, old man. We will take care of things tonight. Just let your old uncle stay. Do you think it's okay? "

The old man of the Li family nodded: "Okay, I'll just come when the time comes. Boss, help me go back."

……

The old man was helped away by a group of people, the youngest of the Li family, but with a very high seniority, Lao Cai had to call him uncle.

"Uncle, what do you mean?" Lao Cai looked at the youngest member of the Li family, who was also the person in charge of the Li family's generation who would continue to be involved in the Liushanwa incident.

"My dad means what I mean. My dad is right. He was for our old Li family back then. But as a descendant, I can't blame the elders. So, if there is anything we need to make up for, we will admit it. "The youngest of the Li family is called Li Shunqing, and he is very happy.

He is also a soldier, retired with the rank of colonel, not lower than the old man's rank.

"There is no need to make up for it. After all, even if this matter is over, each family will live its own life. It's just that the rules can't be messed up. Then tonight, our old rules here are small and big. If it's small, It’s just that the elders of our families and the person in charge are together, and then all the Li family members are called over, and everyone eats and kowtows together, and recognizes the ancestors and returns to the clan. If it is a big deal, the whole village must witness it together. Just get the family tree." Lao Cai knew that the Li family also had difficulties, after all, it was not easy for the Li family to suddenly accept a branch of the family after being away for so many years.

Li Shunqing waved his hand: "Since we're doing it, we can't be sneaky. Our branch pays attention to being aboveboard. But I don't understand the rules, so you have to tell me how to fix it."
