The next day, Wang He and Da Mao Ermao went fishing in the morning and came back, and saw a person who knotted chickens at home. It turns out that in this batch of chickens raised by my mother, the little roosters have reached the time when they can bear fruit.

Knotting chickens is to castrate chickens, this scientific principle, because the genital gonads cut off the body's ** ketone hormone will reduce the secretion, nutrient consumption will be reduced, and the meat will grow faster. Therefore, among the chickens raised by every household in the countryside, except for the roosters, the other roosters must be castrated.

The veterinarian has a bag for special tools, after bringing a basin of water, he sits on a low stool, takes out a knife, small scissors, pliers, tweezers and other tools from the bag, puts them in the basin, and then grabs a rooster from the cage that has been installed before, wraps the chicken head under the chicken wings, steps on the chicken feet with his left foot, steps on the wings with his right foot, skillfully plucks the chicken feathers under the chicken wings with his right hand, and after exposing the skin, he scoops up the tweezers-like chicken knife from the basin, skillfully cuts a road, and uses a two-end hook, commonly known as the "iron bow" The tool bowed the small mouth into a large mouth, and then used a ruler more than a length to tie a thin thread at one end, like a sewing needle-sized wire, stretched out into the mouth, twisted the thread and pulled it a few times, and used a small spoon-like tool to pull out the chicken's **.

After castration, the chicken should be given a piece of oxytetracycline to prevent infection, and a few drops of water should be scooped up by hand for the chicken to drink, and then the original plucked chicken feathers should be applied to the mouth, and finally the chicken should be put into another cage, and then another one should be knotted.

For experienced hands, the process of tying a chicken can be completed in a few minutes.

Da Mao Ermao looked interesting, the closer he got to the front, the veterinarian joked, closer to the front, I cut off your cocks and eggs, which scared them and didn't dare to get close.

The chicken came out of the **, at first no one went to eat, let the veterinarian take it away, and later heard that it was very effective, to provide hormones to men, can aphrodisiac and tonify the kidney, has the effect of nourishing women's beauty, steaming soup with angelica or other medicinal materials, can play a role in replenishing qi and strengthening the kidney, both medicinal and edible value is very high, so later, when the chicken is knotted, the chicken ** will be left for his family to eat.

After the veterinarian's work was over, he took the money and left, and not long after Wang Xiangyu led a person back, this person is called Wang Foyun, according to the generation, Wang He has to be called uncle.

Seeing the guests, Li Feifeng asked Wang He to go to the fish pond to catch a grass carp and come back, and then there happened to be a rooster that hung up not long after the veterinarian left, so he took it directly to make a dish.

At noon, Wang He learned that Uncle Foyun was here for "official business", and this official duty was to rebuild the family tree. Originally, he should have gone to the old house to discuss this matter with Wang He's grandfather, uncle and other people of his generation first, but he smiled and said that he had to come and see Wang He, the little hero, first.

After eating, drinking a cup of tea and smoking a cigarette, Wang Xiangyu led Wang Foyun to the old house. When the people walked away, Li Feifeng pouted and said, this Uncle Foyun is actually the most greedy and loves to drink, he knows that if he goes to the old house, because there are many people, there is no place for eating and drinking, so he specially ran over to eat first.

Wang He smiled and said No wonder, the pot of rice wine at noon was empty, and Uncle Foyun was basically drinking it alone just now.

In fact, this kind of behind-the-scenes discussion is not suitable for parents to say it in front of children, and it will not be of much benefit to the growth of children. Wang He only understood this truth when he grew up.

Although there are hints that you should not become such a person, it will make people look down on you, but later it is inevitable that you will become more stingy, and even if you grow up, it is not easy to change.

Wang He was idle, so he didn't take a nap at noon, but went to the old house to listen to the elders discuss the matter of cultivating the family tree.

In the dining room of the old house, the elders drank tea, smoked cigarettes, and discussed. Wang He took a bench and sat at the door to listen.

The continuation of the genealogy can be prefaced, describing the origin, reproduction, migration, branching and development of the family.

In the early 90s, various clans in Namlong County started to renew their genealogy.

This can also be understood, in the past two years, people's living standards have begun to improve, and only when the material is rich will there be spiritual pursuits. If in the past few decades, natural disasters and human factors have made it a problem for everyone to even eat, where would they have the heart to repair any genealogy, and the old genealogy was not thrown away and burned as a broken thing.

In the process of genealogy renewal, each clan must first set up a genealogy renewal council, composed of 5 to 9 people, and elect the elders of the clan with high moral standing to serve as the chairman and vice president. Then someone in the clan who has a certain amount of writing ability will serve as the editor. Most of the council members are divided into liaison, editorial, finance, and reception groups, with 3 to 6 people in each group.

The contents of the genealogy include the general genealogy, the room genealogy, the words of the editor, the words of the pedigree, the name of the deacon, the portrait of the ancestors of the original surname, the ancestral hall and so on. In the continuation of the genealogy, the women of some clans are also on the genealogy, changing the old rule that only men can be on the genealogy.

When Wang He was still living in the old house, I don't know if it was because there were too many people or because of the old rules, when there were important festivals or when guests came, women were not allowed to sit at the dinner table, especially the main table, and this rule gradually faded in the past two years. This shows that the Hakka people retain many rules left by the ancient Han people, whether it is dross or essence, they have been passed down together.

The main purpose of Wang Foyun's visit this time is actually to raise funds, and to cultivate the genealogy, you must first have money, and you can't do anything without money.

According to the number of clan households, the number of prints is determined, plus the outgoing liaison, reception, deacon's salary, etc., and the clan council makes a general budget, and then makes a decision on the fund-raising method and payment time limit. According to the agreement, the renewal of the Wang family tree is set to receive 10 yuan per Hongding, double the charge for one son and two rooms, and 5 yuan for women on the family tree, and the deficiency is solved by donations.

When Wang He heard this, he suddenly remembered what the old monk had said, wasn't this Wang clan member of Fengshuping a chasing soldier who had directly chased them from the north? How could they have the same clan relationship with the Wang clan in Liulong Town?

Wang He turned into a curious baby and asked about the origin of his own branch, and the elders were very happy to tell the younger generations about the migration experience of their ancestors, and there were not many children like Wang He who could care about the origin of their ancestors.

However, when it comes down to the elders, what everyone says is not exactly the same, and some things are not very clear to them, they are all passed down orally by the elders or the elders.

After arguing for a while, Grandpa Wang He picked up the aluminum hookah and smoked, coughing twice from time to time.

Speaking of smoking, Wang He has smoked at most a pack of first-hand cigarettes in his 30 years, and when he was eight or nine years old, he liked this hookah very much, and often rushed to play with Da Mao Ermao.
