Chapter 136: Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors
From the provincial capital to Qulong County, the whole process is high-speed, and it will soon arrive, and after getting off the high-speed, Duan Yu took Situ Gordon to a very distinctive farmhouse in Qulong County to eat special farm dishes, so that Situ Gordon and Situ Bisi, who are accustomed to eating hotel meals, feasted happily and enjoyed it.
However, the road to Situ Village after eating was not so easy to walk, it was all bumpy mud roads, and it was drizzling in the sky, and Situ Bisi's interest was not so high, and he kept complaining: "This ghost weather was just fine, why did it suddenly start raining? Where are we going? This road is too bad?... Grandpa, you're not going to get out of this place where birds don't?......."
Situ Gordon smiled and said: "Bis, you don't understand, since our ancestors are former Ming generals, in order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, they must have to hide in the mountains, I think this place is very similar to my memory......."
Duan Yu also joked on the side: "Mr. Situ, you see that even God has been touched by this piece of your innocent heart, just now the sky was clear, but now it is raining......."
Situ Gordon tapped Duan Yu with his finger, laughed and said: "Xiaoyou is really good at talking, I don't dare to say it with a pure heart, if I can really recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors this time, I should do my best for the villagers and elders, first of all, I must repair this road well, and all of it will be transformed into asphalt pavement ......."
Duan Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Then I have thanked Mr. Situ for the hometown elders here.........."
Situ Gordon glanced at Duan Yu with a sly gaze, waved his hand and said: "Don't be busy thanking you first, whether this is the clan of our Situ family remains to be verified, I hope Xiaoyou will not let me down......" The meaning of Situ Gordon's words is obvious, if the Situ Village here is really a descendant of the former Ming general as Duan Yu said, then this sect relative Situ Gordon will definitely admit it, if not, he is not willing to be this wronged leader.
Duan Yu naturally understood the meaning of Situ Gaodeng's words, and laughed confidently: "Mr. Situ, I promise that you will not be disappointed, and you will definitely make this .........trip worthwhile."
Duan Yu has indeed done his homework for this trip to find his roots, and last night he had already called Wang Weiguo to rush to Situ Village to make preparations, and the village party secretary and clan elders of Situ Village were also very excited when they heard that a wealthy man from the United States was coming over to recognize his clan relatives; a few years ago, in a village near them, there was a Kuomintang who was arrested by the Kuomintang during the Liberation War to serve as a soldier, and later followed the Kuomintang veterans who fled to Taiwan to return to the province, and the whole village benefited, and they also paid for the construction of all the roads into the village into cement roads, and this kind of good thing was naturally unwanted.
Therefore, the village party secretary and the clan elders of Situ Village are waiting in front of the ancestral hall of Situ Village early, this ancestral hall is also rebuilt by another site after the demolition of Xiu Liling Expressway, because it is rebuilt according to the historical appearance, so it is very magnificent, and there are stone lions and stone drums at the door, which is quite quaint.
Situ Gordon was very satisfied when he saw the ancestral hall of Situ Village, such an ancestral hall was a bit of a famous family, but when he saw the village party secretary and clan elders of Situ Village, he was still a little reserved, just smiled and nodded, the village party secretary and the clan elders had not seen anything in the world, so they looked very restrained, and stood there with an unnatural dry smile.
Seeing this, Duan Yu knew that he was going to make a killer move, so he glanced at the village party secretary of Situ Village, and said with a smile: "Situ branch secretary, this Mr. Situ is a well-known entrepreneur in the United States, if it is really your clansman, then it is the time for your Situ family to glorify their ancestors and regain the glory of the past, didn't you say last time that you still have the genealogy of the Situ family? Why don't you quickly take it out and show Mr. Situ the ......."
The Situ branch secretary was busy responding, and introduced everyone into the ancestral hall, the four walls of the ancestral hall are engraved with the portraits of the ancestors of the Situ family, but naturally it will not be a master's work, but the painters in the township are carved, and the pen skills are relatively clumsy, similar to the ancestral hall Situ Gordon has seen in Chinatown, but he is not surprised, but Situ Bisi is the first time to enter the ancestral hall, curiously looking around.
There is a very complicated procedure for asking for genealogy, and the faces of the Situ branch secretary and the clan elders, who were still a little restrained, became solemn, prepared offerings, burned incense with clean hands, and worshiped the ancestral spirit tablet, and then the eldest patriarch shouted in a long voice: "Please genealogy...".
I saw that the secretary of the Situ branch walked out of the inner shrine with an oilcloth bag in both hands respectfully, put the oilcloth bag on the offering table, and bowed respectfully three times under the leadership of several clan elders, and then carefully opened the oilcloth bag, revealing more than a dozen thick linear ancient books.
The paper of the thread-bound ancient books has turned yellow, obviously it is indeed an old thing, but it is still well preserved, Situ Gaodeng's face has also become solemn, and he took the first genealogy from the hand of Situ Zhishu, turned the first page, and saw that it was written in ancient characters, "Situ Jian, Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty, the former guard of the imperial guard, the general of Xiaocai, from the fourth ......grade."
Seeing this, Situ Gordon had no doubts in his heart, and knelt on the ground with a "plop", crying bitterly and said: "Situ Gordon's ancestors are on top, and I don't want to bow down to my descendants Situ Gordon, I think my Situ Gordon has been living in a foreign land for many years, and today I can be regarded as recognizing my ancestors and returning to my ancestors, and I can be regarded as finding my .........roots."
The Situ branch secretary and the clan elders saw Situ Gordon crying so sadly, and they also wiped their tears, during the war, there were many people in Situ Village who were left without any news, and the old people in the same generation have also passed away from old age, whether Situ Gordon's parents really went out of Situ Village cannot be verified, but looking at this Situ Boley's expression, it should be true that Situ Village is true.
Duan Yu was secretly funny, this Situ Gordon is really good acting skills, it is obvious that what Situ Gordon needs is just a name after a famous family, as for whether he really came out of that Situ Village, it doesn't matter, and this is also the result that Duan Yu wants to see, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Situ Gordon up and said: "Mr. Situ, congratulations on getting your wish and finding your roots, you should be happy to be .........."
Situ Gordon's eyes flashed, and he laughed and said: "Yes, this is a great event, Mr. Duan, I want to trouble you with one thing, I want to hold a grand ceremony of recognizing my ancestors and returning to my ancestors, please help me do it, and I will be responsible for the cost of .........."
At this time in the provincial capital, Situ Gordon's sudden disappearance caused an uproar, and even Qin Yuanhang, secretary of the provincial party committee, was alarmed... R405
