"Today I am very grateful to all the clan friends for coming to my Huo Someone's Huo clan meeting, tracing back to ancient and modern, Huo family from the Western Zhou royal branch, the eighth son of King Ji Chang of Zhou Wen, is a descendant of Huo Guojun's family, the surname is the ancestor of Huo Shu, has a history of 3,000 years, and most of the branches are in Guangdong, Jiangsu, Hubei, Shandong, Hebei......

Most of the origins of my Huo clan come from Huozhou in Chinese mainland, and there were Huo Quai, the hussar general of the Han Dynasty, who was the wolf of the Han Dynasty, the great Sima Huo Guang of Zhaoxuan Zhongxing, and Huo Yuanjia, the grandmaster of the Lost Fist martial arts in modern times, and Huo Zongxiong, who scattered all his wealth to serve the country and forgot to die.

Our Huo family can be said to have produced many talents since ancient times!

Today, I Huo have the honor to join the elders of various clans in Hong Kong, and the establishment of the Hong Kong Huo Clan Association is so that our Huo clan can peacefully help each other, unite and love, but whenever there is a need, the clan association will do its best to help each other!"

Huo Yingdong stood on the stage and gave an impassioned speech on the establishment of the Huo clan association, and with a lot of enthusiasm, it attracted almost hundreds of clan relatives surnamed Huo to applaud in the audience.

Listening to Huo Yingdong's mention of his father above, Huo Chengcai's back was straight and straight, and he looked very proud of his father's participation in the army and serving the country.

And Huo Yaowen, who was standing behind him, also looked up at the situation on the stage when he heard Huo Yingdong mention his grandfather.

Huo Yingdong's name, whether it is in Hong Kong now or in the mainland in the next few decades, can be said to be thunderous, well-known at home and abroad, and is known as a close friend of the Chinese party.

Especially after his death, he enjoyed the state funeral treatment, you must know that this kind of state funeral with the coffin covered with the five-star red flag is often a privilege enjoyed by national-level leaders.

"This Huo Yingdong is getting more and more powerful. Someone next to him muttered.

Someone chimed in: "Yes, now the Huo family in Hong Kong is the most covered by him." ”

"What about the cover? It's not that I'm being suppressed by the ghosts. The old man surnamed Huo, dressed in a Tang costume, pursed his lips, looked at the high-spirited Huo Yingdong on the stage, and said with some jealousy: "Who doesn't know that the ghost guy has been trying his best to hit his Huo Yingdong group now." ”

Since the leftist riots last year, the Hong Kong governor has been cracking down on leftists, and Fok Ying-tung, the most influential leftist, has also been attacked by the British government.

Many of the real estate projects under Fok Yingdong Group have been rejected by the British government in Hong Kong, and they are not even qualified to auction official land.

It is precisely because he has been suppressed by the British government in Hong Kong that Fok Yingdong will think of setting up a Fok clan association, like many well-known chambers of commerce such as the Hong Kong Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, the United Manufacturers' Association of China, and the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, to serve as the president of the Fok clan association, to further increase his influence and popularity, and to win over the Huo family's connections, only in this way can he break through the pressure of the Hong Kong British government.

The words of the old man in Tang costume caused some people of the Huo clan in the vicinity to look sideways, although they despised him for saying this on such an occasion, but what he said was indeed the truth, as long as people who were a little more well-informed, almost all knew about it.

Huo Yingdong on the stage didn't know what the people below were talking about, after he finished speaking, he glanced at his watch, and saw that the time was almost up, so he opened his mouth and said: "The time is just right, let us invite Mr. Huo Ziheng, the old man of the Huo clan in Guangdong, to come to the stage to give a speech on the establishment of our Huo clan." ”

"Bang Bang Bang"

After a burst of applause, an old man who was almost eighty or ninety years old, supported by two young people, walked onto the stage, stood in front of the microphone, and looked crumbling, which made many people in the audience worried, for fear that the old man would not speak, so he couldn't stand and lie down.

"Success!"

Huo Yaowen heard someone shouting his old bean's name and turned around to look.

I saw an old man in his sixties and twenties dressed in Tang costume walking through the crowd and walking to the two.

Seeing the visitor, Huo Chengcai's face was embarrassed, and he shouted embarrassedly: "Uncle!"

Huo Zongming grabbed Huo Chengcai's arm and said: "Chengcai, you have been there all these years, if Chengguang hadn't told me that you were still in Hong Kong, I would have thought you would have gone back to the mainland earlier." ”

Huo Chengcai smiled: "Hehe, I didn't go back to the mainland, I've been staying in Hong Kong all these years, and I don't have anything to do on weekdays, so I don't want to bother to disturb you, uncle." ”

Huo Zongming blew his beard and glared: "Chengcai, what are you talking about, I am your father's cousin, if there is anything to find me, how can I not help you." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, nephews shouldn't. Huo Chengcai hurriedly blamed himself.

Huo Zongming saw Huo Chengcai say this, and originally wanted to say a few more words, but when he thought of his younger sibling's temper, he also understood the reason why he had never contacted himself all these years, sighed silently in his heart, turned his head and happened to see Huo Yaowen standing next to him, and asked curiously: "Chengcai, is this your son?"

"It's uncle, this is my eldest son Huo Yaowen. Huo Chengcai hurriedly said to Huo Yaowen again: "Yaowen, this is your grandfather's brother, you have to call him grandpa." ”

"Hello grandpa. Huo Yaowen said politely.

Huo Zongming looked at Huo Yaowen, who was talented and polite, and sighed: "Okay, okay, you have grown so big in a flash, when you first came to Hong Kong, you were still running around the streets in open crotch pants! ”

Hearing his grandfather say that he was wearing open crotch pants when he was a child, Huo Yaowen smiled helplessly, he remembered so many things when he was a child.

After Huo Chengcai saw his uncle, he also remembered the past and sighed: "Uncle, my aunt's health has been fine in recent years, are Brother Chengzhi and his sister-in-law still working in the Education Department?"

"It's all good, it's all good, your aunt is now at home with her great-grandson, Cheng Zhi is now working at the Kwun Tong District Education Department, and your sister-in-law is also there. Originally, Cheng Zhi was going to come today, but he said that the Education Department was going to have a meeting, so I brought Yaozu here, he just had something to go outside, and I will call him over later. ”

"Yaozu is already married?" Huo Chengcai said in surprise.

Huo Zongming said with a smile: "Well, Yaozu got married last year, and gave birth to a big fat boy this year. ”

"Time flies. ”

Huo Chengcai never expected that Huo Yaozu was already married, and he was only one year older than Huo Yaowen, so he couldn't help but look at his own son.

Huo Yaowen, who had been listening to his father and grandfather talking on the side, noticed Huo's father's gaze and couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing what he meant by looking at himself.

Huo Zongming smiled at Huo Yaowen and asked, "How is Yaowen now, is he studying, or is he already working?"

"Already working grandpa. ”

"Oh, work there. ”

Fok replied: "I am now a teacher at the University of Hong Kong. ”

"A teacher at the University of Hong Kong?"

Huo Zongming glanced at Huo Yaowen in surprise, and said in surprise: "This is a good job, it seems that your old bean has trained you well, he didn't like to read when he was a child, but he cultivated the son of a university teacher." ”

Huo Chengcai was very embarrassed, he really didn't like to read much when he was a child, and when the uncle said it in front of his son, he was inevitably a little ashamed.

"Haha......"

Looking at Huo Chengcai's embarrassed appearance, Huo Zongming laughed and said: "This can be regarded as a continuation of Zongxiong's talent, his head is smart and he is good at reading." ”

"It's okay, I can read some books. ”

Huo Chengcai smiled, he was still very satisfied with Huo Yaowen, and then looked at Huo Zongming and asked, "Uncle is still in the pawn business?"

"Well, this year, I moved to Kowloon with your aunt with Cheng Zhi, and opened a new pawn shop on Shanghai Street in Kowloon, called Kowloon Dazhu, you can take your mother there to see if you have time, I live with your aunt on that floor on weekdays, and by the way, I will be a courtier (steward). ”

"Okay, in a few days, I'll go see you and my aunt. ”

Huo Chengcai smiled again and said: "I have opened a new pawnshop? It seems that the uncle's business is getting better and better." ”

"It's ok. ”

When it came to business, Huo Zongming smiled happily: "Since last year's riot, many people have come to the pawnshop to pawn items, from gold and silver jewelry to furniture and equipment, all kinds of things, and almost all of them are dead, but they are a little profitable. ”

"Then I wish Uncle a prosperous business and better and better. Huo Chengcai clenched his fists and smiled.

"Good. Huo Zongming nodded with a smile, suddenly thought of something, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "Chengcai, Chengguang and his girl are over there, why don't we go over and talk?"

"Forget it, uncle. As soon as Huo Chengcai heard Huo Chengguang, he shook his head and said, "That's it." ”

Hearing this, Huo Zongming sighed and said, "I know that you resent Chengguang, but it's been almost twenty years, let the past pass." Now he has come to his senses, starting anew, and working diligently in my pawn shop, after all, you brothers can't make such a fuss! You have to give him a chance. ”

Huo Chengcai has actually always resented Huo Chengguang in his heart, but the uncle is right, almost 20 years have passed, the past is like smoke, and he has figured out a lot over the years.

can only say that when the two of them first came to Hong Kong, they were so ambitious and wanted to do something big, but they ended up being stupid and rich and being ridiculed, and they deserved it.

But having said that, Huo Chengcai still didn't want to have too much contact with Huo Chengguang, the last time he met the other party, although he didn't know if he did it on purpose, or if he really met it in the study, but after that, Huo Chengcai really didn't want to have anything to do with Huo Chengguang.

And this Huo clan meeting, if it weren't for his son, in fact, Huo Chengcai wouldn't want to come.

"Success. Huo Zongming saw Huo Chengcai's hesitant appearance, and hurriedly said: "You should give your uncle a face! ”

"Okay!"

Seeing that the uncle said so, Huo Chengcai was unwilling, so he could only nod his head and agree.

"Good, good. ”

Huo Zongming smiled and led Huo Chengcai and Huo Yaowen and his son towards the periphery of the crowd.

After a while, the three of them came to a corner.

A middle-aged man who looked three or four points similar to Huo Chengcai was standing there anxiously waiting for something with a little girl of fifteen, sixteen or seven.

Noticing the three people coming, Huo Chengguang waved happily: "Uncle, Brother Chengcai!"

Huo Chengcai nodded calmly.

Huo Zongming looked at Huo Chengcai, who was not very willing, and said with a smile: "Chengcai, this is Chengguang's girl, called Huo Xiufen." ”

"Yes, Xiufen, this is the second uncle I have been mentioning to you. Huo Chengguang hurriedly said to the little girl.

Huo Xiufen was more shy, blushing slightly, and shouted softly: "Hello second uncle, I'm Huo Xiufen." ”

"Xiufen knew that she was a good girl at first glance!"

Huo Chengcai didn't shake his face in front of the juniors, said with a smile, pulled Huo Yaowen behind him, and pointed: "Xiufen, this is your second cousin Huo Yaowen." ”

Hearing this, Huo Xiufen turned her head to look at Huo Yaowen, blushed and said, "Brother Yaowen is good." ”

"Well, hello Xiufen. ”

Huo Yaowen also saw Huo Xiufen for the first time, and after a brief hello, he set his eyes on Huo Chengguang's body, and learned about the grievances from Huo's father and grandma before, and when he saw him today, there was nothing special about the other party.

"Chengguang, Uncle brought it to you, if you have anything to say, you can tell Chengcai directly. ”

Immediately, Huo Zongming looked at Huo Yaowen and the little girl and said, "Yaowen, and Xiufang, you two follow the eldest grandfather to the side." ”

"Yes. Huo Yaowen glanced at Lao Dou, saw that he nodded slightly, and also followed behind this cheap uncle, walking to the side.

Huo Chengguang also said to his daughter: "Xiufen followed the uncle to the side for a walk, and I will call you and you are coming over in a while." ”

Huo Xiufen nodded and replied, "Got it." ”

Immediately, Huo Zongming left here with the two juniors and went to the front to listen to the people on the stage.

Watching the uncle leave with the two juniors, Huo Chengguang turned his head to look at Huo Chengcai, and he wanted to stop talking, which provoked Huo Chengcai to take the lead and say, "Say something." ”

"Brother, it was indeed my fault in the past, and it hurt you to have an unsatisfactory life with Erniang and sister-in-law. ”

Huo Chengcai shook his head: "If it's just this, don't mention it again, it's all over." ”

"Yes, yes, it's all gone. ”

Seeing this, Huo Chengguang took out a check directly from his pocket and handed it to Huo Chengcai: "After being deceived by the ghost guy, that batch of goods was seized by the import and export management office, and I thought there was no hope of coming back, but in 58, the anti-smuggling team of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau was established, and the Legislative Council also amended the import and export constitution.

Although most of our shipments were fakes, they were also through regular channels, and they were bought only after being deceived, so after the anti-smuggling team dealt with the fakes, they sent someone to inform me to transport the remaining genuine goods.

Later, I handed over the remaining hardware products to the uncle and sold them all through his pawn channels, although I couldn't get back the book, but I also sold 50,000 yuan, I wanted to return this money to you for a long time, but I couldn't find you, until the last time I met you in the study, I didn't bring it with me that time, so I thought about handing it over to you when I was going to meet this clan. ”

"How can you come back? Aren't all those people like vampires, eager to suck them off you. ”

Huo Chengcai was stunned for a moment, subconsciously took the check in Huo Chengguang's hand, looked at the check in his hand, which said 150,000, and couldn't help but be stunned again.

"It's the relationship that the uncle is looking for, he spent the money, and he got it back, anyway, the anti-smuggling team is going to find someone to dispose of it, and it cost about 50,000 yuan for the general price of the goods, and after the uncle bought it back, he found someone to sell this batch of goods, and in the end he only got 50,000 yuan. ”

didn't wait for him to ask, only to hear Huo Chengguang say again: "This extra 100,000 yuan is regarded as the interest for more than ten years, after the sale of that batch of goods, because I couldn't find you, I took this money to cooperate with the uncle and follow him to engage in the pawn business." ”

Huo Chengcai didn't expect that after falling out with Huo Chengguang back then, he would be able to get the money back after 20 years, although 100,000 yuan was Huo Chengguang's guilt compensation, but it was also a big surprise to be able to get back 50,000 yuan, he sighed slightly in his heart, holding this check in his hand, and he didn't know whether to accept it or not.

Perhaps seeing the other party's thoughts, Huo Chengguang said directly: "Brother Chengcai, this is originally your money, although there is no way to repay all your capital, but I only have so much now." It was indeed me who did something wrong back then, and was fooled by that foreign devil, so I pulled my brother to buy that batch of cheap hardware from Erniang, and Erniang blamed me as well, so I don't ask for forgiveness from you, my sister-in-law and Erniang, I just hope that we can still be relatives in the future. ”

Huo Chengguang is not a person who does not know how to be grateful, Erniang was kind to him when he was a child, and he has always kept it in his heart. After coming to Hong Kong, he was fooled by a British ghost, saying that he could bring very cheap hardware from India, so he thought of taking this opportunity to repay Erniang's kindness, and bewitched Huo Chengcai to let him secretly take out more than 300,000 yuan of investment from home.

Who would have thought that the ghost guy did transport the goods, and it was indeed real hardware, but the goods stacked under were all fakes, and as soon as they arrived at the Hong Kong wharf, they were seized by the people at the entrance and exit security management office at that time, and almost arrested the company's legal person Huo Chengcai on the charge of smuggling.

Later, if it weren't for the more prestigious elders of the Huo family who came to Hong Kong at that time to come forward to vouch, Huo Chengcai would probably have entered because of this matter.

It is precisely because of this incident that Grandma always thought that Huo Chengguang and outsiders came to cheat Huo Chengcai's money, although in the end it was a matter of trouble, but in the end, the two originally close relatives broke up unhappily, and they have not been in contact for more than ten years.

"Alas......"

Huo Chengcai was silent, but sighed deeply.

...

A corner of the lobby of the Chamber of Commerce.

Huo Zongming looked at this nephew and asked, "How about Yaowen being a lecturer at the University of Hong Kong?"

Hearing this, Huo Xiufen on the side looked up at the second cousin she had just met.

Huo Yaowen didn't notice his cousin's eyes, nodded and said, "It's okay, it's pretty good." ”

"How long has it been?"

"I graduated in the middle of this year, and after graduation, I stayed on as a lecturer. ”

"That's amazing. ”

Huo Zongming said with a smile: "I just hope that you juniors can do well, you and Xiufen are good." Unlike your Brother Yaozu, who fools around all day long, if he hadn't gotten married and collected a lot, I'm afraid he would still be outside all day long and don't know what to do. ”

Maybe he thought that Huo Yaowen had never seen Huo Yaozu, and he also said: "Yaowen shouldn't have seen Yaozu yet, when he comes back, I'll introduce it to you." ”

"Okay grandpa. Huo Yaowen nodded.

At this time, after several clan elders on the stage finished speaking, Huo Yingdong came to the stage again and said that at noon, a banquet would be held at the Mong Kok Hotel to invite all the clan relatives, and those present must come and sit down.

Huo Zongming looked up at Huo Yingdong, who was infinitely beautiful, and turned back to Huo Yaowen and Huo Xiufen with a smile and said, "Yes, it seems that someone has invited someone to dinner at noon." ”

"Uncle!"

As soon as Huo Zongming's words fell, he only heard Huo Chengcai's voice behind him, he turned his head to look, and saw Huo Chengcai and Huo Chengguang walking side by side, seeing that the two of them didn't look displeased, he asked, "Have you talked about it?"

Huo Chengguang smiled and nodded: "Well, I've already talked to the second brother." ”

"It's good, it's good, it's all a family, there's no need to dwell on the past. ”

There are a lot of people in the Zhongshan Sect, but the blood and relationship are relatively close, and there are only Huo Zongxiong, Huo Zongming, and Huo Zongsheng, all of whom are cousins within the clan five suits, and they all have a common great-grandfather.

A few people stood there and chatted a few words.

After a while, after the people on the stage finished speaking, many people began to look for relatives who were closer to them.

There are also some people in one area, who started to talk gradually on the grounds that they are also surnamed Huo.

I have to say that the advantage of the clan association is that it can contact some people with the surname, find some people who need it, and thread the needle from it, so as to achieve the slogan of mutual benefit and mutual help for the establishment of the clan association.

Huo Chengcai met many elders of the Huo clan in Zhongshan who he hadn't seen for many years, and enthusiastically introduced Huo Yaowen to them one by one.

When everyone heard that Huo Yaowen is now working as a teacher at the University of Hong Kong, they are all happy for Huo Chengcai and praise him for cultivating a good son.

Huo Chengcai smiled at these words.

And Huo Yaowen, who has been following behind as a pendant, can be regarded as meeting many Huo clan people who have never seen him before with the help of this clan meeting.

At first glance, there are quite a lot of people with the surname Huo in Hong Kong, and there are more than 700 people who are registered at the scene, and almost all of them are men, not including their families and some people surnamed Huo who can't come to participate.

This greatly raised Huo Yaowen's thoughts about this clan meeting.

PS: Ask for recommendation tickets, ask for collections, ask for rewards.
