Chapter 956: The Ritual of Recognizing Ancestors and Returning to Their Ancestors
After Ye Huang told the situation after the slight modification, these neighbors of the Xia family unanimously said that this kind of gesture was of course incumbent.
"Okay, isn't it just to let these two little dolls have a sense of belonging to our town and the Xia family, it's not easy to do. An old man with white eyebrows and beard leaned on crutches and said, "Two little dolls, they have grown up abroad since they were children, and this is the first time that the two little dolls have returned to their ancestral home, right?"
Ye Huang nodded and said, "Yes, after they were born, they were sent abroad by Uncle Xia Jiang and never came back. ”
"In that case, then let's hold a ceremony for them to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and let the two of them officially return to the Xia family in front of the ancestors and ancestors of the next family. The white-bearded old man said.
Ye Huang's eyes lit up, and he felt that this idea was not bad, through some kind of ritual, he might be able to bury some kind of subconscious in their hearts, so that they would know that they had clearly become a part of the Xia family.
However, the ceremony of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors, if you want to do it, is not a trivial matter, and if you want to do it all, it will take two or three days to say the least. Originally, Ye Huang planned to take Xia Yi and Xia Zhendong to Linhai City after today.
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Huang felt that it didn't matter if he went to Linhai City one day earlier or one day later, but this ceremony of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors must be carried out as soon as possible.
"That, this old man, who are you?" Ye Huang then asked about the identity of this white-bearded old man.
"Oh, the old man's surname is Xia, most of the people in this ancient town are also surnamed Xia, push up for dozens or hundreds of years, they are all members of the Xia family, I am the patriarch of all the Xia families in this ancient town. The white-bearded old man said.
The expression on Ye Huang's face became even more exciting, he knew that even in modern times, the power of the clan would have a far-reaching impact, in some places, a village, a township, a town, all of them had the same surname, and there was always a clan, and there was quite a cohesion between them. In this environment, if it is a person with a surname, it will quickly integrate into it, and of course if it is a person with a foreign surname, it will be ostracized.
This kind of clan surname is an unreasonable way of getting along left over from history, and it has been slowly assimilated by the current society, but now Ye Huang needs this kind of clan surname relationship to exist, so that Xia Yi and Xia Zhendong can find a sense of belonging as soon as possible.
"It turned out to be the patriarch surnamed Xia. Then, patriarch, I don't know much about what needs to be prepared and what to do about letting the two of them recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, so can I entrust this matter to you, do you always spend a little bit of energy and worry about this matter?" Ye Huang asked.
The white-bearded old man nodded and said, "Of course it's nothing to worry about, but ...... This, to hold this ceremony, you always have to buy something, and you have to feast all the people of the Xia family in the town, so ......"
Without waiting for him to say it explicitly, Ye Huang hurriedly said: "I know, I know, it must take a lot of money to do these things, of course I can't let you pay for it." ”
He hurriedly took out a bank card from his arms, this card was prepared for him by the Security Bureau, it was just an empty card, but as long as the princess manipulated it, funds would be added to this card, of course, these funds would be deducted from Ye Huang's "salary".
As an executive officer of the Security Service, he receives a considerable remuneration and allowance after completing a mission every time. The hard work of the executive officers is not in vain, they also need to consume, they also need to buy, they also need to enjoy, all this needs money, and the Security Service will do its best to give them enough money.
Otherwise, those who don't have a sect, no family, and no warriors and supernatural abilities, who will be willing to really work hard for the Security Bureau.
The number of times Ye Huang performs tasks is actually not much, but every time he performs a task, it is the one with the highest difficulty level.
Not to mention other small tasks, just an extermination operation in the secret realm of the Lei family, that time, as one of the people with the greatest credit, he was directly given the right to use 100 million funds by the Security Bureau, that is to say, if he passed the application, he could use up to 100 million cash privately. And some time ago, when I went on a mission to Japan, I also raised several millions.
The current Ye Huang is a billionaire, of course, this money is nothing in front of the Xia family. The wealth of the Xia family is truly huge.
He handed the bank card to the old man with the white beard and said, "Patriarch, there are 200,000 yuan in this card, and you can use the money in the card for all the expenses of the ceremony...... Bigger. Also, I know that to do these things, it must take a lot of people to help, and all the people who come to help, every day, are paid according to the normal pay, do you think that's okay?"
The old man didn't say any nonsense, he directly took the bank card and said, "Okay, I will personally take responsibility for this matter." As for the remuneration salary, there is no need for this, the people in our town have been taken care of by Xia Jiang, if now, even if you have to pay for a favor, it will inevitably seem too impersonal. ”
The others also spoke.
"Yes, young man, you think we're too snobbish. ”
"We've been neighbors with the Xia family for so many years, and it's not a trivial matter to help out or something. ”
"The memorial to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors needs to kill pigs, right, I have a relative who happens to raise pigs, I will do this to ensure that the price is the cheapest. ”
Looking at these people, Ye Huang suddenly felt a kind of warmth, this kind of warmth he could understand, I believe that Xia Zhendong and Xia Yi could also experience it. Here, they will definitely find their own sense of belonging, and the things in their blood will never be erased.
At this time, Xia Zhendong and his party finally bought a toy airplane and came over.
Xia Zhendong and Xia Yi found that at this moment, the gaze of those people looking at them had become different from just now.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the Xia family's ancestral house first. Ye Huang said.
Originally, there were some quiet streets, because the Xia family wanted to hold a ceremony to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and it began to come alive, and it was not an easy thing to hold a large-scale memorial to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.
Not much else, since you want to eat, you need to purchase food, you need to buy tables, dishes and chopsticks, build a stove, you also need to invite a chef to come over to stir-fry food, you also need people to serve food, and you can't be less than people to make tea.
That alone is enough to keep people scrambling.
Fortunately, all this was arranged by the patriarch of the Xia family in the town, and the old man didn't know how many times he had presided over such a banquet in his life, and it was organized in an orderly manner, and he arranged it very well who should do what things.
