The four jeeps stopped, Xia Yu and others got off one after another, looking at this grand welcome ceremony, Xia Yu sighed in his heart, and immediately walked over quickly.

Li Bin, the mayor of Nanshi Town, immediately introduced to Xia Yu and others: "Mr. Xia, leaders, this is the old party secretary and village head of Xia Village, the old man Xia Anshan. ”

"Old branch secretary, this is Mr. Xia from Xiangjiang, this is Governor Wu of the provincial capital, this is Mayor Zhao of Qianzhou City, and this is County Magistrate Li of Longfeng County......"

Li Bin immediately introduced the two sides.

Hearing that so many high-ranking officials had come at once, the gathered villagers suddenly made a commotion, and they all poked their heads out to see what the high-ranking officials from the city looked like.

As for the drum band, they played even harder, and they couldn't wait to hear it from all over the village.

Where have they ever had so many big officials in this ravine, this is a big deal, not to mention that the people from Xiangjiang are young, but they have such a high status, which shocked them.

Xia Yu smiled, handed the gift in his hand to Xia Anshan, and said modestly: "Old man, my name is Xia Yu, I am really ashamed to receive such a great gift from everyone!"

Xia Yu, who seems to be a big man, has such a humble attitude, which makes Xia Anshan feel happy, and takes the gift and hands it to Xia Yongquan, the fourth grandson next to him.

Seeing the envious eyes of the people around him, Xia Yu smiled faintly and said to Li Wuming: "Second brother, open the car behind you and take the things down." ”

"Old man, I also brought some things, there are a lot of things, and you need to arrange a few people to take them, everyone has a share." ”

Xia Anshan nodded happily and nodded a few strong villagers to come out, and these people immediately rolled up their sleeves and walked with Li Wuming to a car.

Xia Anshan didn't care about the gifts, and immediately led Xia Yu and the others to the ancestral hall not far away.

In Xia Village, the place that can accommodate so many people, and the most suitable place to welcome Xia Yu, is undoubtedly the Xia Clan Ancestral Hall.

The joyful band led the way, and the festive folk music sounded in the earthquake, attracting the attention of many people, and the team became larger and larger.

When Xia Yu and the others arrived, the courtyard of the ancestral hall had already spread out square tables, which were full of fruits, melon seeds, rice crackers and hot skins and other foods.

Xia Yu and Xia Anshan and others sat at the top table, but Xia Yu insisted on not sitting at the top seat, only sitting on the second seat on the left-hand side, and the two positions on the top seat sat Xia Anshan and another old man respectively.

If it weren't for the need for a representative from the township, with Li Bin's status, he would not be qualified to share a table with Xia Yu and others, although he sat at the end, it still honored him.

After sitting down and drinking a cup of tea, Xia Anshan hesitated for a moment, and called awkwardly: "Mr. Xia......"

It's just that as soon as Xia Anshan spoke, Xia Yu interrupted him with a smile, and said humbly: "Old man, just call me Xia Yu, follow the customs, not to mention that I am indeed your junior." ”

For Xia An Mountain, Xia Yu knew it, but in his previous life.

In the previous life, Xia Anshan was a long-lived person in Xia Village, with a high seniority, Xia Yu called him an uncle, and he did not die until Xia Yu was in the third year of junior high school, although the current Xia Anshan is younger, but Xia Yu still recognizes it at a glance.

"That'll do!"

Xia Anshan said happily, and then continued: "We also checked the genealogy of your side that we brought before, but you haven't seen it, so we will verify it on the spot, what do you think?"

"Okay!"

"Genealogy, please!"

Soon, the genealogy was taken out, and the old man sitting next to Cheyenne Hill carefully opened it.

At this time, Xia Anshan asked Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, tell me the names of the ancestors you remember." ”

The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Xia Yu and the others in the center with bated breath, and they were also very curious about which branch Xia Yu came from.

Xia Yu said solemnly: "My father Xia Dahai, mother Chen Mei, grandfather Xia Anping, grandmother Li Xiaoqing, great-grandfather Xia Dezhong, great-grandmother Zhang Hong, great-grandfather Xia Kuifa, great-grandmother Liu Fudi, our family genealogy started from my great-grandfather. “

"Yes, yes!"

The genealogy flipped to a certain position, and Xia Anshan pointed to a name and said to Xia Yu.

This page has a tree-like diagram, with a name "Longcheng" at the top, and then three forks at the bottom, each with a name, from left to right, are "Kuifu", "Kuifa", and "Kuijin".

For example, under "Kuifu" are two names "Deming" and "Deguang", and under "Kuijin" are "Deping", "Dezhang" and "Desen".

There is only one name "Dezhong" under "Kuifa".

After that, the next generation of the German character generation continued to produce a lot, all of them were Anzi generations, Xia Yu also saw the word "Anshan", which is estimated to be the old branch secretary in front of him.

And Xia Yu's grandfather Xia Anping's name is not here, because it was broken from "Dezhong", and two words were written in parentheses next to it, "moving south".

Seeing Xia Yu see this, Xia Anshan said: "My grandfather told me that he had three brothers, but unfortunately at that time, someone in the clan committed something outside, attracting the government to come to the door, in order to prevent being wiped out, the whole clan scattered overnight and fled from the ancestral land, the second brother Kuifa happened to take his son Dezhong up the mountain to chop wood, and went south with other clansmen. ”

"After 12 years, there were capable people in the clan who became county commanders, and the fleeing clansmen returned to their ancestral land one after another, and some people brought back news, saying that they saw my second grandfather's family, that is, your great-grandfather's family, fled in the direction of Guangdong Province, and there has been no news since then. ”

"Your grandfather's generation is an generation, so it's right to name Anping, but when it comes to your father and your generation, I don't know why I didn't choose a name according to the character generation. ”

Xia Yu immediately said: "My father told me that my great-grandfather died early, and my grandfather was still a minor at that time, so he probably didn't have time to tell my grandfather about such a thing." ”

Xia Anshan nodded in understanding and said: "According to the genealogy, your great-grandfather and my father are cousins, and your grandfather and I are cousins within four suits, according to generation, you should call me uncle." ”

Xia Yu's face was solemn, and he bowed solemnly and said hello: "Hello uncle!"

Backed by the ancestral hall, Xia Anshan no matter what Xia Yu's identity is, he accepts the salute calmly.

After receiving the gift, Xia Anshan asked again: "What other relatives do you have in your family?"

Xia Yu said: "Since my great-grandfather, my grandfather has passed away, and there are four parents and siblings in the family. ”

Hearing that Xia Yu's grandfather was gone, Xia Anshan said with regret: "It's a pity, in this way, your branch has already come out of the five suits, and there is no one in the village within the five suits. ”

Xia Yu nodded knowingly: "This is also a helpless thing, but at least I have recognized my ancestors and returned to my ancestors." ”

"Uncle, can I renew the family tree in this lineage?"

Xia Anshan immediately nodded and said, "Of course it's no problem!"

There are descendants of the clan who have returned to their ancestral land, and they are still rare capable people, how could they not welcome them!

"Let's continue now! After the renewal, the ancestor recognition ceremony will be held, what do you think?"

Cheyenne asked.

Xia Yu bowed his head happily: "Yes, I will listen to your arrangement!"

Xia Anshan immediately confessed to Wu Siming and others, and then picked up the gong and rang it out, and the clansmen present knew the result, and the patriarch was about to speak.

"Today, there is a great joy from heaven in Wulong Fengnan Shixia clan, there are 'Long Chengzu', 'Kuifa Gong' descendants Xia Yu recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, and the people of all ethnic groups notified the person in charge of each lineage to participate in the ancestral hall to participate in the ancestor recognition celebration within half an hour!"

"Donghui, fire the gun!"

"Dongming, use the village's loudspeaker to inform the villagers. ”

After a while, the sound of "crackling" firecrackers sounded at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

The atmosphere in the ancestral hall became festive, and all the gifts that Li Wuming took were moved into the ancestral hall, with all kinds of candy, biscuits and other snacks, and the cheers of children sounded in the ancestral hall.
