The motorcycle stopped.

Some people in the clan greeted Zhou's father.

Zhou Xian also called out some uncles and brothers.

Some people's names are a little hard to remember, what Brother Xinren, Brother Quangui, stupid can't tell the difference, many people in the uncle's family feel very similar, and they don't bother with their names, they are all called brothers.

Younger than himself, and some older than himself, but younger than himself don't call himself, Zhou Xian didn't bother to take care of it, called himself Uncle Zhou Xian, he smiled back, or said that the elder brother was good, or politely called the younger brother one senior.

This family is too big, but Zhou Xian's branch is very thin, after all, there are only two households, but the eldest grandfather, the third grandfather, the two or two branches are very prosperous.

So it makes the big family very big.

The eldest grandfather has seven sons, they are now from more than fifty to more than sixty years old, and their sons have given birth to more than a dozen sons, and some of the grandpa's grandsons are as old as Zhou's father.

The great-grandson is the same age as Zhou Xian, so the grandfather has the one who calls his master, and the five generations are in the same hall over there.

Why is it so bad, this is because Zhou Xian's grandfather gave birth to Zhou's father late, but it is also a special reason, Zhou Xian's grandfather is a second-married uncle and his father.

Otherwise, my grandfather's branch would not be so thin in that era when he could live.

Zhou Xian's grandfather's first wife actually gave birth to a child similar to the uncle's son, and now he should be sixty years old, but the first wife took away the two sons and ran away, Zhou Xian's grandfather was doing things under the national army, and the two sons were rumored to be not Zhou Xian's grandfather's, and later Zhou Xian's grandfather found Zhou Xian's grandmother and had an uncle and father, who came late, and the grandfather's story may be built in the grandfather and the third grandfather know some, but more secret uncles know some, uncles are closer to those elders, and Zhou Xian's father is basically on the side and can't come forward。

Together with Zhou's father, the firecrackers and flowers that worship the ancestors were brought to the inside for registration, and everyone moved to the ancestral tomb mountain to worship the ancestors later.

Inside the ancestral hall account.

It's Uncle Zhou's uncle who is the bookkeeper, he is a senior, old, and a teacher, although he is a teacher in elementary school, but he is very respected, and he is highly respected in his peers.

"Brother Baoliang. ”

"The Democratic Construction Association is here. ”

"Uncle. ”

Zhou Xian shouted the uncle who had become a grandfather, he was sixty-eight years old, his son was fifty, his grandson was thirty years old, and the eldest great-grandson was ten years old, and the family got married early.

This uncle's family is too prosperous, so Zhou Xian's grandfather and third master were not allowed to move out of the ancestral hall of the Zhou family.

"Brother Baoliang, I have three whips, one gift, and some cigarette money. ”

"Okay, Minjian, this time to worship the ancestors to eat and buy ingredients, tobacco and alcohol expenses ......"

"How much my family is out. ”

"Fifty for one person, one hundred. ”

Zhou Minjian handed over the money.

Then Uncle Zhou continued: "The clan said that the ancestral tomb mountain was repaired at the beginning of the year, and the archway was built, and the principle of donation from each family here, everyone is a member of the family, in principle, everyone must donate 20 yuan a person, as for you to donate more, the ancestors will bless your family a little more, this money you donate, for a while, I will post the money for dinner, you can donate first, or you can say how much you donate, and then make up the money, when the time comes, this is to be the iron red list in the ancestral hall, and the back will be engraved with a monument ......"

"How much did everyone donate?"

"Some have two hundred ...... at home There are 8 of the thousand, 4 of the 3,000, 3 of the 5,000, and 1 of the 8,000. ”

"Our family donated two hundred, a total of two hundred and six for our family. Zhou Minjian said.

I didn't give my dad tens of thousands of yuan, why was he so stingy in donating.

Zhou's father is simple, the clan needs to spend money to do things, every time Zhou Minjian donations money is not as good as the grandfather, the juniors of the third grandfather's family are really secretly laughed, and the uncle of the Zhou family is also ashamed of having this younger brother.

Zhou Xian was also looked down upon a lot before, and the family had no money, but this time.

"Dad, I didn't give you some money. ”

"Son, I and your mother saved your money for you, you want to buy a house in the big city in the future, and you also need money, your father doesn't use your money, the money just now is your father's money for planting crops. ”

“......”

After the registration is completed.

Depart from the ancestral hall at 10 o'clock in the morning and arrive at the ancestral tomb mountain at 10:10 a.m.

The front is the eldest grandfather and the third grandfather, now the eldest grandfather is eighty-eight years old, the third grandfather is eighty-five years old, they are in good health, they are practicing every year to worship their ancestors and burn incense, which is also the reason why this big family is still together, the grandfather of later generations lived to be ninety-eight years old, and the third grandfather also lived to be ninety years old, that is, Zhou Xian's grandfather left early, and left at the age of seventy-eight, this 2001 year he is actually the kind of longevity, but compared to his two brothers in their nineties, he even left early.

Leaving early also has the advantage of going early, Zhou Xian felt that because the grandfather finally survived many of his sons, those sons began to leave when they were seventy years old.

The white-haired Ren sent the black-haired person to the taste of uncomfortable, although his sons were not black-haired, with the death of those mainstay uncles, the leading grandfather and the third grandfather, this family did not have so much appeal and cohesion as Ren, and there were never so many family members gathered together in their entirety.

If it weren't for a few old parents who are now holding on, more people will go to the cities outside to work and settle down...... Young people do not know their blood relatives beyond three generations, not individually, but universally.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing, who knows, these clan forces used to be the most difficult force to control, but the place where these roots are located is slowly forgotten by young people, except for grandpa, I don't know a little about other ancestors, is this really that good?

Just like Zhou Xian's mood towards this kind of family, he feels that this kind of ancestor worship does not forget his roots, but he hates the vanity comparison of this big family, and ridicules those who have a bad family economy, which is just a place for some parents to show their sense of existence.

Reciting sacrifices, kneeling to the ancestors, setting off firecrackers, and in front of the ancestral graves, the uncles repeatedly asked about the things of the ancestors every year, and then came to ask the uncles again......

After paying homage to their ancestors, everyone returned to the ancestral hall.

Incense was burned again.

Next is the time for a family gathering to eat.

Eating in the ancestral hall, the ancestral hall on Zhou Xian's side is a three-entry type, with upper, middle, lower, and three halls.

Uncle Zhou Baoliang over there is going to post a red list, Zhou Xian stopped the uncle, this time he wants to fight for his father and let his father go to court!

's father is younger than other uncles, but the generations are there, and the uncle can sit in the hall, not because he is rich, every time he worships his ancestors, he doubles his face, and there are some brothers who mix well, who are the same generation as Zhou Xian, and are also in the hall, but his father was sent to the middle hall, Zhou Xian was really angry before, and this time he wants to give his father a face.

"Uncle Baoliang, the ancestral grave is repaired, and my father said that our family will donate another 10,000 yuan. ”
