Since the reform and opening up of Linyang Village, it has resumed the ancestor worship activities on the first day of the Lunar New Year that have been maintained for thousands of years, and since then, hundreds of people surnamed Lin have come back from all over the country and overseas to worship their ancestors every year.

Lin Cheng and his entourage of ten luxury cars drove into the village's grain drying field, which soon aroused the amazement and onlookers of the villagers of Linyang Village.

Although there are overseas clansmen driving luxury cars to participate in the Lin family's ancestor worship activities every year, Lin Yang villagers have long been accustomed to all kinds of luxury cars, but it is the first time they have seen the Lin clan people who dispatched ten luxury cars at one time.

Ten luxury cars really shook the people surnamed Lin in Lin Yang Village, and after the hundred-year-old patriarch Lin Huasheng heard the news, he came to greet Lin Furong's family with trembling steps.

Lin Huasheng is 100 years old, what world has he never seen?

When the Lin clan was cooking the most intense oil, Lin Husan, who came from the branch of Jingchu Huanggang Lin, was once the successor of the great man.

It's a pity that Lin Husan didn't survive until the moment of succession and was dragged to death by his family, causing the Lin family to collapse from then on. At the worst time, during the Great Movement, the ancestral shrine of the Lin family was even razed to the ground by those red generals.

Fortunately, the red general did not find that there was a tunnel under the ancestral hall, which allowed the genealogy and ancestral portraits of the Lin people to be preserved, and the Lin people also resumed ancestor worship activities after the reform and opening up.

In the living room of the Lin family's ancestral house, Lin Huasheng looked at Lin Furong, and said with a trembling mouth: "You are Lin Furong from eastern Guangdong?

Although Lin Furong is worth a lot of money, he doesn't dare to be disrespectful in the face of the ancestors of the Lin family, he hurriedly took out a yellowed book from his briefcase, and said respectfully: "Old patriarch, the genealogy has been brought, please verify it." ”

Lin Huasheng took over the genealogy, turned his head to his seventy-year-old son Lin Zhenhua and said, "Zhenhua, you go to the ancestral shrine and invite the genealogy of our Lin clan out." ”

"Hey, father, I'll go right away. Lin Zhenhua responded.

While waiting, Lin Huasheng asked, "Furong, when did your lineage fall to Lianjiang in eastern Guangdong?

Lin Furong replied respectfully: "Back to the words of the old patriarch, our line was from Puyang to the south when Chongzhen entered the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the seventeenth year, at the beginning Lin Wentu Gong led our branch to Fujian Province to escape the war, and within a few years, Fujian Province also fell.

After the Qing army occupied Fujian Province, Lin Wentu Gong had already accepted his fate to be a Shunmin, but the Qing army issued an order to shave his hair, and Fujian Province was boiling again, so Lin Wentu Gong led our tribe to the Lianjiang area in the mountainous areas of northern Guangdong.

At that time, the Lianjiang Mountains were occupied by the local Yao people, who at first refused to settle our lineage, but later Lin Wentu taught them the advanced farming techniques in the Central Plains, so that we could settle down, and eventually formed our Hakka ethnic group in northern Guangdong. ”

Lin Huasheng also sighed with some emotion after hearing this, and sighed: "I'd rather be a peace dog than a chaotic person, it's really not easy for the ancestors to reproduce the clan, Yuantu Gong led your branch to spread the branches, it is really a meritorious contribution to the growth of our Lin family, if the genealogy is verified, I should record the deeds of Wentu Gong in the family history for future generations to admire." ”

Lin Furong said with gratitude when he heard this: "In this way, our Lianjiang branch must remember the kindness of the old patriarch, and I thank the patriarch Wentu on behalf of your ancestor Wentu for making a name for the Wentu Gong." ”

Lin Huasheng waved his hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry to thank you first, let's talk about the genealogy, if you don't have the genealogy, you won't mention it again." ”

said that it was too late and that it was fast, Lin Zhenhua had already invited the genealogy of the Lin clan to come over at this time, and the genealogy brought by Lin Furong was verified one by one, and sure enough, Lin Wentu's name was found in the Lin clan genealogy, and even Lin Wentu's son Lin Dekun was recorded.

After Lin Huasheng wore reading glasses to verify it personally, he said excitedly: "Yes! Yes! And your vein is still the main vein, and it is the same vein as our Puyang Lin! Furong, below the Duke of Wentu, how many generations are you?"

Lin Furong said excitedly: "Old patriarch, I am the thirteenth generation!"

"What! You are the thirteenth generation, is there a mistake?" Lin Huasheng stood up excitedly and said.

Lin Furong smiled: "It's impossible to be wrong, it's recorded on the genealogy." ”

Lin Huasheng put on reading glasses tremblingly, compared with the genealogy of Lin Furong's family, and sure enough, he found that Lin Furong was the thirteenth generation of his clan since Lin Wentu.

Lin Huasheng excitedly shook Lin Furong's hand and said, "Brother Furong, I didn't expect you to be so young, and you are actually a generation higher than me?"

"Ah?" Lin Furong was taken aback when he heard this, he is only forty-five years old this year, Lin Huasheng is more than twice his age, but his generation is a generation higher than Lin Huasheng, which is really incredible.

"Ah what, brother, look at the genealogy of our Lin clan, Lin Wentu Gong and the fourteenth generation ancestor Lin Wenyuan Gong are still cousins, you are the thirteenth generation and I am the fourteenth generation, I will call you clan uncle in the future." ”

"How can this be!" Lin Furong said in fear.

Lin Huasheng said with a straight face: "Uncle Furong, the rules of the ancestors are like this, and the seniority can't be messed up. By the way, Uncle Clan, have you brought all the men in your vein here? ”

"Fuyuan, Chengzai, come and meet the old patriarch. Lin Furong instructed Lin Fuyuan and Lin Cheng behind him.

After the two came over, Lin Furong took the hands of his younger brother and son and introduced Lin Huasheng: "This is called Lin Fuyuan, he is my own brother, this is my son Lin Cheng, the family is unfortunate, he is the only male in the fourteenth generation of our lineage, and the other men of the same race have already served." ”

Lin Fuyuan bowed respectfully to Lin Huasheng and said, "Old patriarch, hello!"

Lin Huasheng hurriedly helped Lin Fuyuan up and said, "Uncle Fuyuan, you are my elder, doesn't this mean that I want to lose my life?"

Lin Fuyuan was a little embarrassed, Lin Huasheng was already 100 years old, and he was about the same age as his grandfather, but now he called himself uncle, which really made him embarrassed.

Lin Huasheng didn't care, and came to Lin Cheng again and patted him on the shoulder and said: "This is my brother Lin Cheng, Wentu Gong is the only one seedling in your generation, you have to work harder in the future, and many Wentu will be public." ”

Lin Cheng is a human being in two lifetimes, so he is naturally not as afraid of ugliness as Lin Fuyuan, he said generously: "Big brother, rest assured, the kid will have dozens of children and grandchildren in the future, and he will die of doing his best to strengthen our Lin clan." ”

"Smack!"

Lin Furong patted the back of Lin Cheng's head when he heard this: "The old patriarch dares to talk nonsense in front of him, he is not serious!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Huasheng praised Lin Cheng very much, and he said happily: "Okay, well, young people should have such ambitions, don't learn from the two clan uncles, it took so long to toss you a brat with a handle." ”r
