Chapter 829: The Xu Family
"Mr. Xu, I didn't expect you to come to our little Xujiazhuang, it's really amazing!"
"Mr. Xu, are you here to look for relatives?"
"Mr. Xu, I am the little flower of this village, I like you very much......"
"Mr. Xu, can you sign it?"
“……”
The village committee of Xujiazhuang was basically surrounded by the inner and outer three floors at this time, and the people who were qualified to enter the office had smiles on their faces and wanted to be close to Xu Rantao.
Those who are not qualified to enter the house are all lying on the edge of the window and watching curiously, as if a rare giant panda has come to the village committee, and everyone has come to watch the excitement.
However, an old man of about seventy years old seems to be very stable, and he seems to be a highly respected person.
The old man was supported by the girl who Xu Ran came in to greet him before, and after he came in slowly with a cane, everyone got out of the way and let the old man come over.
The old man glanced at Xu Ran a few times, and couldn't help stroking the goat's whiskers and said, "Later life, the old man is Xu Shengyan, I heard my granddaughter say that you are looking for the old man?"
In fact, when Xu Ran said Xu Shengyan's name, especially the handsome girl who recognized Xu Ran, she hurriedly went back to invite her grandfather.
Her name is Xu Xi, and she is Xu Shengyan's own granddaughter.
The last time she watched TV at home, Xu Xi listened to her grandfather sighing when he looked at Xu Ran on TV, saying that their old Xu family finally came up with a character.
At that time, Xu Xi was very curious, so she asked her grandfather what Xu Ran had to do with their family, and then her grandfather told her that she and Xu Ran were equals, and their names were both from the Tian generation, and she and Xu Ran were cousins who had not come out of the five costumes in terms of genealogy.
However, this kinship is still not too close in the end, Xu Shengyan and Xu Ran's grandfather Xu Shengkui are cousins, Xu Ran's grandfather died early, and there were two generations of descendants in between, and there has been no contact, so the relationship is naturally weak.
The old man in front of him was Xu Shengyan who he was looking for, and Xu Ran gave a salute to his juniors: "The juniors went to Pengcheng to do business this time, and they happened to pass by here, and remembered that their grandfather Xu Shengkui was born here, and there was a second grandfather Xu Shengqian who was old here, so he planned to come to pay respects!"
When the old man heard this, he seemed to recall the unbearable years in the past, and couldn't help but sigh: "If Sheng Qian hadn't done something wrong back then, maybe Sheng Kui's cousin wouldn't have been killed, alas, ......"
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't say any more, so he looked at Xu Ran and said, about to ask about his father, but suddenly Xu Xi pulled his elbow.
The old man thought that Xu Ran's parents had also died more than ten years ago, and now Xu Ran's exposed personal information shows that he was an orphan.
However, Xu Ran's parents also passed away, so the hatred for his second grandfather can be regarded as a death hate.
Since Xu Ran will come back to worship now, it shows that the grievances of the elders have not fallen on him again, and it is also gratifying.
"It's inconvenient to talk here, if it's convenient for you in the future, you can go to the old man's house first and then talk about it?"
Xu Ran nodded: "It's okay!"
"Please, Xiaoxi, lead the way!"
Xu Xi glanced at Xu Ran, and then helped her grandfather out of the village committee first, and Xu Ran followed behind.
However, it was only when I came out of the village committee, and at this time, a few people hurriedly came to the courtyard.
One of the leaders is a wealthy middle-aged man who belongs to the kind of slippery township official at a glance, and as soon as he comes in, he puts on a smiling face, and looks very courteous and stretches out his hand to shake hands with Xu Ran: "Mr. Xu, you can come to our small place, you are really a distinguished guest, I am Yang Wanzhong, the secretary of this Chengguan Town, and I have admired Mr. Xu's name for a long time!"
Xu Ran could only briefly shake hands with Secretary Yang and greet him.
However, Xu Ran didn't give Yang Wanzhong another chance, so he directly told him what he meant, and said that the Xu family still had something to do.
Yang Wanzhong is naturally a person who knows how to measure, he heard the village chief's report that Xu Ran came to Xujiazhuang, and Baba came to get acquainted with his face first, and at the same time to understand Xu Ran's intention to come here, so as to report to the superior leaders immediately.
Yang Wanzhong knew very well that Xu Ran's visit to Pengcheng this time was personally received by Liang Kai, the CEO of a central enterprise who enjoyed the treatment of a deputy minister and the mayor of Pengcheng.
A big man like Xu Ran wants to talk to others on an equal footing, and the level of a small cadre like Yang Wanzhong is too low and not qualified, at least Mayor Peng Cheng has to come in person.
Therefore, Xu Ran only said a few words to Yang Wanzhong and then followed Xu Shengyan to his house.
Xu Shengyan's family also lives in a small building, and there is an H6 parked in the courtyard of the house, and the decoration is not bad, and it seems that the family conditions are okay.
After Xu Xi took Xu Ran into the courtyard, three women were chatting in the courtyard.
Seeing that Xu Xi had led someone home, a woman was about to joke about whether Xu Xi had brought her uncle home, but she was quickly stopped and pulled up by a middle-aged woman who looked like Xu Xi next to her.
Because the woman saw that the village chief and the town secretary Yang Wanzhong came into the yard behind her, she seemed to have seen Xu Ran on TV.
As soon as the village chief came in, he asked the woman of the Xu family to hurry up and clean up the guests.
Yang Wanzhong naturally didn't dare to slack off, and after he came to the Xu family, he thought he was a waiter before and after the saddle, and personally served tea and poured water for people, which made the Xu family very uncomfortable.
Xu Shengyan has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son is in the provincial capital, the younger son is in the local area, and the living conditions are not bad, so now he lives with his younger son.
After Xu Ran followed into the house, Xu Shengyan led Xu Ran to a separate room of his own, prevented other people from coming in, and let those people avoid it, so he took out a book of genealogy that looked old and handed it to Xu Ran.
After taking the genealogy, Xu Ran simply looked through it.
This is the genealogy of the Xu family, and the record is still relatively detailed, his two grandfathers are on it, but his father and aunt are not recorded in it.
After reading the genealogy, Xu Shengyan asked Xu Ran if he would like to enter his father and aunt, as well as Xu Ran himself, into the genealogy for future generations.
Xu Ran didn't agree on the spot, but just said that he wanted to go back and discuss with his aunt, after all, he didn't tell his aunt about coming to Xujiazhuang to worship this time, and he didn't know his aunt's attitude towards this matter.
Xu Shengyan didn't force this, and after carefully putting away the family tree, he told Xu Ran about some of his grandfather's past, as well as some things about Xu Ran's second grandfather Xu Shengqian, and later returned to Xujiazhuang with guilt and guilt, and the miserable experience of being trapped and lonely for a lifetime.
Although Xu Shengqian has been lonely all his life, he has not been troubled by illness in his later years, and Xu Shengyan's family will often receive help in life, because he is a veteran, the government will also issue a sum of alimony, and he is not poor, but because he has been unable to pass some thresholds in his heart, he has heart disease, and he can only be said to end up depressed.
