Chapter 39: Glory to the Ancestors (I)!

"Xu Chen, did you talk to your elders like that?"

"Xu Zhenghua, how did you educate your son? What about a college student, didn't the teacher teach him to respect his elders?"

"Hmph, have you all heard about it? Xu Chen writes novels, he is a writer, he is very educated, how can we, the local peasants, still be taken into account by him?"

Hearing that Xu Chen actually cursed them to break their legs, they all became furious.

Xu Zhenghua's face was ugly, but Xu Chen still looked at these angry 'elders' with an indifferent expression.

"Respect is mutual, you respect me, I respect you, you slapped me, do I still stretch the other side of the face and let you continue to beat?"

Xu Chen said with a smile: "Uncles, today is the day to worship the ancestors, if you want to make trouble, I will accompany you, but I don't know if the Peng ancestor will be unhappy if he knows." ”

Hearing Xu Chen say about Ancestor Peng, several people were stunned in anger, and after each snorted twice, they turned around and left.

The most respected old man in the village, the wisest man of the highest seniority, is ninety-nine years old, although he can't walk, but no one dares to ignore his words.

At any other time, Peng Zuzong didn't bother to pay attention to the contradictions of the people in the village, but today is different, it is the day to worship the ancestors, who dares to make trouble on this day, Peng Zuzong will never sit idly by, and when the whole village is blamed, it is even possible to be expelled from Xujia Village.

"Dad, sit tight. Xu Chen called out to his father, and he was about to lift the chair with Wu Dongyang again.

"Brother Chen!"

Several figures appeared quickly, each with a flattering smile on their faces, it was Xu Lang, Xu Jie and others.

"Uncle Zhenghua!"

Several people bowed enthusiastically to Xu Zhenghua and said, "Brother Chen, you and Brother Wu are also tired, let's replace us." ”

"That's embarrassing. ”

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, you see your face is sweating, Lian! Xu Lian! Take two towels out, and take two bottles of mineral water!"

Xu Lang shouted his own sister, pulled Xu Chen aside without saying anything, and lifted the seat with his arms, cooperating with Xu Jie.

Xu Zhenghua was a little dazed, these little rabbit cubs were not so enthusiastic when they saw him on weekdays, and their attitude towards Xu Chen had changed too much.

Like the stars and the moon, Xu Zhenghua was carried into the house, and after being gently put down, Xu Chen helped Xu Zhenghua to sit on a stool.

"Uncle Zhenghua, do you still have pain in your legs?" Xu Qiang asked with a smile on his face as he walked from not far away.

Xu Zhenghua was stunned again and shook his head.

"It's okay, Uncle Zhenghua, you have to take care of it, don't be sloppy, if you say hello if you have something, I can help absolutely nothing, dust, take a step to speak?" Xu Qiang said, looking at Xu Chen, his face a little nervous and worried.

Xu Chen nodded and stepped aside with Xu Qiang.

"Cao Ye said that I should be his assistant and take me to have more contact with the big people in Jiang County, you ...... about it."

Xu Qiang was eager in his heart, but he had to ask Xu Chen's opinion.

If Xu Chen objected, then everything he longed for was nothing more than a dream bubble.

Xu Qiang is very complicated, who would have thought that Xu Chen, who he has looked down on since he was a child and has been bullied many times, can decide his life with one sentence today!

"This is a good thing, why don't you go?" Xu Chen smiled and patted Xu Qiang's shoulder: "Do you remember what you said? ”

"Thank you...... Thank you!"

Xu Qiang suddenly had some tears in his eyes, and bowed respectfully to Xu Chen.

"Don't be so polite, it's unlikely that I'll stay in Jiang County all the time, so Xujia Village has to rely on you. Xu Chen helped Xu Qiang up.

Xu Qiang patted his heart hard, and said: "Don't worry, with me Xu Qiang for a day, I will guard Xujia Village for a day, Uncle Zhenghua and Auntie, I will do my best to help!"

At the end, Xu Qiang said again: "Actually, nothing can happen, Cao Ye said, the matter of Xujia Village is his business, if there is anything, make a phone call, he will handle it." ”

Xu Chen smiled and nodded.

The men, women and children in the village were very surprised.

When did Xu Qiang and Xu Chen get into such a good relationship?

What shocked them even more was that Xu Qiang's father, Xu Zhengzhong, actually took the initiative to sit next to Xu Zhenghua and apologized with a smile.

The contradiction between these two fathers and sons and Xu Chen's family has been going to be solved for a long time, is it finally going to be resolved?

"Brother Chen! this year's ancestor worship, the spokesperson of our generation, we all agree that only you are suitable. ”

Xu Wei and the others walked over and spoke with a smile.

When worshipping ancestors, people from all generations from high to low have to choose a representative to go up and speak, as for what to say, there are no rules, feel free to say it, as long as you don't say something rebellious.

The problem is that this spokesman means that he is the most capable and promising person in his generation!

I don't know how many people are red at this point, show their faces on stage when they worship their ancestors, and say a word, how long is this thing?

"Me?" Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, he didn't really want to go up.

"Who else but you?" said Xu Wei with a smile.

Everyone nodded their heads.

"Okay. Xu Chen hesitated, but agreed.

It just so happened that he had something to say.

After a long time of work, the time to worship the ancestors is finally approaching.

Four strong men carried a chair to the stage, and on the chair sat an old man whose hair was about to fall out, and there were a few gray hairs fluttering in the wind.

The old man's eyes were cloudy, but when he looked at the grand scene in front of him, his face was full of smiles.

The descendants are extended, and the people of Xujia Village are thriving, which is what he likes to see.

"The ancestor worship ceremony starts now!" shouted the village chief of Xujia Village.

The village chief is not from Xujia Village, but he has been here for many years, and he is also very prestigious.

All the clansmen surnamed Xu, regardless of men, women and children, all took three lit incense sticks, lined up in a long line, and stepped into the ancestral hall.

The atmosphere is solemn and solemn, even the most naughty children on weekdays are obedient and dare not make trouble.

Xu Zhenghua was on his leg because of it, so Xu Chen helped.

Sacrifice and prayer, incense burning.

After completion, they still walked out of the ancestral hall in order, and then sat down separately.

There are already dishes on the table one after another, and the fragrance is fragrant.

The seats are also exquisite, and the generations are seated in turn, the old people are gathered, the middle-aged people are gathered, the young people are gathered, and women and children are gathered.

It's not that there is a patriarchal mentality, but that women can take better care of their children.

"Welcome!" shouted the village chief again.

Only then did the crowd start to move their chopsticks, but they didn't make any noise, because the representatives of all generations spoke, and this began.

The first to speak was naturally Ancestor Peng, as the person with the highest generation and age, he spoke quite neatly.

The audience listened quietly, but Xu Chen looked at his watch from time to time, and wondered in his heart: "Is this woman Yin Feiyue lost? Or is she going to release pigeons?"
