Zheng Zheng's voice fell for a long time, and Zheng Yonghe said: "This is going to be chaotic." ”

"What's going on...... What do you mean?" Zheng Zheng couldn't understand at the time.

Zheng Yonghe didn't explain, but asked: "Do you know why this ancestor worship is held once every ten years?"

"Probably ......" Zheng Zheng thought for a while and said, "It's because the scale of the event is relatively large, it can't be held every year, and it can still be rounded up once every ten years?"

Zheng Yonghe nodded and said, "It's not bad, but it's not because of this." Speaking of this, Zheng Yonghe changed his words and said: "The matter of worshipping ancestors only happened thirty years ago, and before that, the environment did not allow it, the conditions did not allow it, and no one mentioned it, so this matter was not done." Thirty years ago, it was your grandfather who was in charge at the time, and he set this rule......"

"Wait," Zheng Zheng interrupted Zheng Yonghe, frowned and asked, "I don't sound right, I am the same generation as Zheng Bei, and now Zheng Bei's grandfather is the head, according to you, it is me...... Uh, grandpa, passed the position of head of the family to Zheng Bei's grandfather, who is a peer?

Zheng Yonghe nodded approvingly and said, "It's quite accurate to grasp the key points...... But shut up and listen to me. ”

"You please. Zheng Zheng nodded repeatedly. He has always been curious about why the old man left the Zheng family back then, and now that he has the opportunity to listen to Zheng Yonghe talk about these old things, it is very likely that he will be able to know what happened back then.

"Why did you set this rule at that time, firstly, because when I was worshipping my ancestors, whether it was a buyer or a seller who had a relationship with the Zheng family, everyone who could come came, and the scene was quite big. At that time, your grandfather took this opportunity to announce an event, and at the same time set this rule, and worshiped his ancestors once every ten years thereafter. ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Yonghe shook his head and said to Zheng Zheng: "What happened back then...... Hey, it's all a mess now, and I can't tell the right from the wrong...... The thing that your grandfather announced at the same time as the worship of his ancestors was to appoint your father as the next head of the family. The news did not spread to the outside world, only the family knew about it. ”

"Uh......"

Zheng Zheng was stunned for a while, looked at Zheng Yonghe, and said, "But the current head is your father, not my father......"

Zheng Zheng didn't explain this, but the meaning was quite clear, Zheng Yonghe also knew what Zheng Zheng meant, waved his hand, and said, "You can say that, you can't say that...... At that time, your father was young, that is, eighteen or nineteen years old. So your grandfather decided to tell the family the news first, and then let your father officially take over the position of head of the family in ten years. ”

"It's nothing, and the family has no opinion, so the matter is settled. If all goes well, your father should be the head of the Zheng family by now...... Alas, the world is unpredictable. ”

Zheng Yonghe sighed, paused, and continued: "Five years after this incident, that is, twenty-five years ago, your grandfather had an accident and had a sudden illness, which he couldn't be saved. According to your grandfather's previous decision, your father should take over, but ...... Hi ......"

Speaking of this, Zheng Yonghe sighed again and didn't continue for a while. However, Zheng Zheng listened on the side, and he also had a score in his heart about how things would develop later: "So your old man took advantage of my old man's young age to seize his power?"

Zheng Yonghe spread his hands helplessly and said, "If you look at it, this is indeed the case." Since I told you about this, I don't need to take sides. Objectively speaking, your father was really not suitable to take over at that time, at least he needed someone to support him. The reason why your grandfather set the time when your father took over ten years from now is to hand over the affairs of the Zheng family to him little by little, so that he has time to digest these things. It's a pity that your father was still far from taking over the affairs of the Zheng family back then, and if he was put in that position like this, it would not be good for the Zheng family. ”

"The most important thing is that your father and my father have different philosophies. At that time, your father thought that he should take advantage of the environment at that time to develop rapidly, while my father felt that seeking stability and peace, and slowly spreading the Zheng family was the most important thing, and he should not be in a hurry. So at that time, out of many considerations, my old man took over the position. His intention was to shore up the situation and prepare for your father to take over the position in five years, or ten years. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Zheng shook his head again and again and sighed, "What do you say...... If your old man really plans to do so, it can only be said that he is too kind-hearted. Once he takes the position of head and wants to give up the seat to my father again, it is not up to him to have the final say. How could the person who benefited from him sitting in the position of head of the house watch him give up the position of head again. ”

"Yes......" Zheng Yonghe shook his head and smiled bitterly, "So, at that time, when my brother, that is, Zheng Yongming, realized that he was only one step away from the position of the head of the house, and this step happened to be stuck with your father, he began to think about what he shouldn't move...... What kind of exclusion, stumbling block...... Tsk, I'm his own brother, but I can't even stand it. ”

"Later, in a business that your father was in charge of, Zheng Yongming did something to make that business lose a lot of money, and the reputation of the Zheng family was affected, and many customers were lost at that time. I know all about this matter, and the old man naturally knows it very well, but there is no way, Zheng Yongming's hands and feet were too clean at that time. Taking a step back, even if he really caught his hands and feet, but after all, it was the old man's biological son, how could the old man be so ruthless to punish him severely? But at that time, the old man still found another reason and punished Zheng Yongming. As for your father, the old man can only do not punish your father for this incident. ”

Zheng Zheng nodded slightly, but he had no objections. It is understandable that parents protect their children. Zheng Yuan did not severely punish Zheng Yongming, but he also gave him some punishment without evidence, and did not punish his own old man for this, which can be regarded as the right thing to do from his own old man. However, according to Zheng Zheng's understanding of his old man's temper, he also knows what is going on in his heart.

Zheng Yonghe sighed and continued: "Although your father was not punished for this at that time, he was the one who did the bad business, and the old man could not punish him, but there was no way to help him take off this responsibility. And your father's personality at that time...... He felt that this matter was his responsibility, although he knew that Zheng Yongming had done something here, but he felt that it was also because he was not thoughtful enough that he was taken advantage of. And this incident also made your father a little discouraged, so on the one hand, he blamed himself, and on the other hand, he was tired of fighting with Zheng Yongming, so he left the Zheng family......"

Speaking of this, Zheng Yonghe shook his head and said to Zheng Zheng: "Your old man is a righteous gentleman, but a gentleman often makes himself carry too many things, and he is burdened with so many things, and it is difficult to fight against the villain......

Zheng Zheng said: "After all, the old man is kind and cheeky, so after such a thing happened, it is not easy for the old man to gain a foothold in the Zheng family." After all, it is better to continue to stay in the Zheng family with this name on his back, so it is better to leave. ”

"Sounds like you think your father is doing something wrong?" Zheng Yonghe asked.

Zheng Zheng shook his head and said: "My father is my father after all, what qualifications do I, as a son, have to say whether he is right or wrong? There is no right or wrong, just agree or disagree." If I were the old man of that day today, and Zheng Yongming dared to play with me like this and put me like this, then I would never leave the Zheng family so easily, as he wanted. No matter what, I have to have a good time with him, either I will completely defeat him, or he will completely destroy me, otherwise it will never be the end. ”

Zheng Yonghe smiled and said, "Your temper is my appetite, and the wicked need the wicked to grind...... Speaking of which, you don't seem to feel much about these things, and you are not surprised at all? I thought your emotions were quite intense. ”

Zheng Zheng lit a cigarette, shook his head and said, "It's false to say that you are not surprised, but you are not too shocked." When I knew that there was such a family as the Zheng family, I was quite curious why the old man left the Zheng family back then. Over the years, I have pondered it myself, and I haven't figured out the specific things, but I also know that it is a big thing, so he left the Zheng family. So for this, there is surprise, but there is no shock. As for feelings and mood swings and things like ......"

Zheng Zheng flicked the ashes of his cigarette, spread his hands, and said: "You mean, after knowing these things, I feel that I should have everything Zheng Bei has now, even more than he has, but I haven't gotten all this now, this kind of gap between psychology and reality will make me a little crazy or something?

"Don't really say it, there were times when I looked at Zheng Bei and was really a little red-eyed, maybe the wins and losses of playing cards overnight with him were almost worth my salary for two or three years, to say that I was not red-eyed? That's. ”

"But looking at it now, looking at Zheng Bei again, I really don't have anything to look at. Even when you said that, I'm a little glad in my heart that I didn't become a rich second generation. I know in my heart what kind of virtue I have, if I become a rich second generation like Zheng Bei, I may not be as good as him. ”

Zheng Zheng spread his hands and said with a smile: "If I really become a rich second generation like him, it is impossible to work hard step by step to get the things I have now." Although the little thing I have now is nothing compared to a Zheng family, but I don't know how many years it will take to take over, before that, what else can he do except live in the box that his father framed for him?"
