When he got up on the morning of the second day of junior high school, Wu Yue had breakfast and surfed the Internet in his room.

Today, the men in Gushi are basically busy with the same thing, and he is also waiting.

"Xiaoyue, let's go."

Wu Yue looked at the time and said, "It's only nine o'clock." ”

The martial father standing at the door said: "Your third uncle and they are already waiting downstairs, and the Xianggong that your second uncle is looking for has also returned to the village, so go back and have a look early." ”

"Oh."

Wu Yue didn't ask about these things, and when he heard his father say this, he could only get up and walk out of the bedroom.

Seeing my mother sitting on the sofa watching TV, she didn't leave, and asked, "Mom, aren't you going back?" ”

Wu Mu shook her head and said, "No, your second and third aunts will come over in a while." ”

According to the customs of the ancient city, women are not allowed to worship their ancestors.

"Oh, then we're leaving."

"Yes."

Wu Yue followed his father out of the door, there were already two bodyguards waiting in the corridor, and when he saw the two of them coming out, he protected the two of them and went downstairs.

Wu Yue only left ten bodyguards for the New Year, and the rest were on vacation, and of course, the ten people on duty also got a red envelope.

"Big brother, come down."

The third uncle of Wu Yue and a circle of father and son were standing downstairs, and when they saw Wu Yue and his son coming downstairs, they came up to greet him.

Martial Father is the eldest in the ranking, of course, there are many older than him in the same clan, but the younger ones are younger than Martial Father, and now they all follow Wu Yue's second and third uncles to call Martial Father's eldest brother.

Wu Yue's father nodded to everyone and said, "Well, let's go." ”

Wu Yue walked behind Wu Yue's father and found his father, who was a little hunchback before. Now the waist is a lot straighter.

Father Wu also worked as a coal miner when he was young, and there was basically no mechanization in that era, and mining was blown up with explosives. When the coal is blown out, it must be pulled out with a flat car.

When Wu Yue and Wu Jing were young, they often looked forward to their father getting off work and bringing some twist flowers and eggs back.

When I grew up, I realized that it was my father's lunch, because it took a long time to go down the well and a lot of work. If you don't eat something, the workers don't have the strength to work, but my father brings them back almost every day.

At that time, Wu Yue and Wu Jing were not sensible. Sometimes when I see my dad coming back empty-handed, I will ask my dad why he didn't eat today, and then the next day my dad will definitely bring them back.

Thinking of what happened when he was a child, Wu Yue's eyes couldn't help but have a trace of tears.

A father's love is like a mountain. Fortunately, he has not disappointed his father.

After being reborn. It is even more proud of my parents.

It's not easy for Dad, and it's even more bitter for Grandpa.

When he was in his thirties, his grandmother died, and he raised Wu Yue's father and three brothers alone, and died of illness without any happiness.

When Wu Yue was a child, he liked to listen to his grandfather tell the stories of the older generation, and he was also his grandfather's favorite grandson.

Grandpa told him before that what he hoped most in his life was to see Wu Yue come out and listen to people. His grandson is promising.

It's a pity that my grandfather died of cancer when Wu Yue first went to college, otherwise he would be very happy to see Wu Yue's current achievements.

Wu Yue blinked vigorously. Let the tears go back, walk quickly to the front of the Bentley, and without waiting for the bodyguard on the other side to go around the car door, he pulled open and sat in.

The third uncle of Wu Yue got into the Porsche he he bought before, and the other people of the same clan drove their own cars, and those who didn't got into the Humvee of Wu Yue's family.

After the three black Humvees drove out, Bentley followed, followed by three white Humvees, and the Porsche driven by Uncle Wu Yue and the cars driven by people of the same clan followed.

After the car started, Father Wu asked, "Xiaoyue, how is your fund?" ”

Wu Yue said lightly: "It's good, I can divide more than 40 billion." ”

Although I also heard from the news that my son had made a lot of money recently, but when he heard Wu Yue say more than 40 billion, Wu's father still looked at Wu Yue in disbelief and said, "So much? ”

Wu Yue explained: "Now that there is a lot of money and the market is good, it is easier to make money. ”

Father Wu instructed: "It's good to make money, but you also have to be careful, those who give you money are rich people, it's easy to say if you make money, maybe someone will find trouble if you lose it." ”

Wu Yue knew his father's temperament, and said obediently: "Well, when you don't understand, I won't operate." ”

"Your second uncle and I want to build an ancestral hall, why don't you go back and get an idea?" The martial father already had an idea, but when he heard that his son had earned more than 40 billion in such a short time, he felt that the previous design was a little stingy again.

Wu Yue smiled: "You can just get this, I don't understand, Dad doesn't have to think about money, after a few days the fund is settled, I will give you another billion." I am ready to increase the investment in the romantic city of Hai Province to 50 billion, and with my current influence, I will definitely be able to build it into the most popular scenic spot, film and television base, and high-end resort in China. Even if I don't do a fund in the future, our family will definitely not be short of money. ”

Wu Yue's parents also knew about the romantic city of Lang Dao, but they still thought that Wu Yue was really built for Meng Tong alone, although they thought it was too luxurious, but the money was earned by Wu Yue, and they couldn't say it.

Hearing that Wu Yue still had the purpose of investing, he said happily: "Well, this is good, once it is built, the next few generations will be rich." ”

Speaking of this, Father Wu frowned and asked, "By the way, did you talk to Xiaotong about having a child?" ”

Wu Yue knew what his father meant, and said with a smile: "I said, let's ask for it in two years, I'm only twenty-three." Don't worry, you will definitely be able to hold your grandson, if one doesn't work, you will give birth to two, and if two can't do it, you will give birth to three. ”

"That's good, if you have money or not, you have to have a son, or there will be no one who will go to the grave in the future."

A stone in Father Wu's heart also fell to the ground, he was satisfied with Meng Tong thousands of times, only he was a little worried about this, afraid that Meng Tong would give birth to a daughter and would not want to regenerate in the future.

After all, Meng Tong's background is different from others, and if he insists on not giving birth, this will also be a trouble.

Speaking of the cemetery, Wu Yue also thought of his grandfather and asked, "Dad, are you going to rebuild your grandfather's cemetery?" ”

"Well, I also discussed it with your second and third uncles. Go back and ask someone to take a look. ”

"Let's go back and see if we can take all the land on that mountain and let people plant trees."

Martial Father really didn't think of such a big stroke. That hill is not small, although there are not many people in the village who farm the land, but there are also many families in those fields. It's also a hassle to buy it.

"Well, I'll go back and ask your second uncle to ask about this."

The father and son chatted for half an hour, and the convoy returned to the village.

This village is where Taketakeshi was born, but it is not where Takeshi's father was born. Takeshi was born in a more remote village, with barren land and no coal mines, when Takeshi was very young. Grandpa Wu Yue moved to this village with his three sons and some of his kind.

The village where Wu's father was born is called Wujia Village, and the village has only one surname, and the villagers are all of the same clan. According to the name of the ancient city, they are all father and son. The village where Wu Yue was born is a large village, and there are several surnames of hundreds of fathers and sons in the village, and there are even more scattered surnames.

When the samurai village was moved, a considerable number of people moved to this village. Therefore, the surname Wu is also a big surname in this village. However, the population is still not as large as the two surnames in the village, and the coal mines in the village are also occupied by these two surnames.

A few years ago, it was contracted to the clansmen at a low price, but later the price of coal mines increased, and the collective coal mines in many villages in the ancient city became individual, and the coal mines in this village were also sold to the families of the village at a low price, and a billionaire and several multimillionaires were directly born. Wu Yue and other villagers with foreign surnames received 5,000 yuan each.

Things in the village are darker than the coal mines, except for some memories of childhood. Wu Yue didn't have a good impression of this village.

Spend money to buy tickets to become village cadres, and then use the power in their hands to dump the collective coal mine. Or ask for some benefits from the state-owned coal mines that occupy the land in the village, and put them in their own pockets.

Taketake's sense of belonging to the ancient city is greater than that of the village where he was born.

The convoy was still a little bit away from the father-son house where the family tree was hung, and the sound of the blowing could be heard.

According to customs, who married a daughter-in-law or gave birth to a son last year, the family tree is in whose house this year, if there are many people who marry or have sons at the same time, it will be discussed, if there is no such happy event, the family tree will be hung last year in this family or want to hang the family, basically there will be no one hanging.

Red and white events and gatherings in the ancient city are generally hired by loud workers.

Generally, there are six or seven people, and the musical instruments are mainly traditional suona, gongs, drums, cymbals, cymbals, etc.

In recent years, some Western drums, electronic organs and amplification equipment have been added, and under the fierce competition, many sound teams have added singing, of course, they are generally women.

Of course, these singers are not professional singers, and they are not even as good as some people who often go to KTV to sing, but as long as they look upright, they can also attract many people.

The cost of Xianggong is also very expensive, generally it takes two days to get married, the cheapest one is four or five thousand, and the better one is more than 10,000 yuan, and it also includes food and accommodation, and one cigarette per person.

Because of the high cost of inviting a ringer, the general family will not invite ancestors, and occasionally some rich people will ask for a plate. This year's two sets were paid for by the martial father.

A few years ago, the martial father and the bodyguard came to deliver the tribute, so the bodyguard also knew the way.

The car stopped, and Wu Yue and his father got out of the car.

The tribute to the ancestors was sent over a year ago, and today I took the burned paper and fireworks, because there was a problem of comparison between several surnames, and the martial father bought a hundred thousand cannons back under the purging of the second uncle of Wu Yue.

"I'm back, brother, Wu Yue."

The people in the courtyard saw the convoy outside and came out too.

The first was Wu Yue's second uncle, in his forties, wearing an off-white suit, and his hair was neatly combed. Second Uncle Wu Yue used to be a romantic figure, but now he is even more proud, and wherever he goes, others call him Second Brother.

"Well, Uncle Qing is here!"

The martial father greeted the people who came out to greet him, and when he saw the elders, he went up to greet them.

"Second uncle."

Wu Yue also greeted the second uncle.

The fathers and sons in the other cars also came down, holding their own papers and cannons.

Second Uncle Wu Yue shouted to the bodyguard who opened the trunk: "Our cannon doesn't need to be moved down, just sound it here casually, and it will ring on the bridge in a while." ”

When the bridge at the head of the village sounds, it is a few surnames to boast.

Although Wu Yue felt that he didn't have to compare with anyone anymore, he wouldn't stop what his father wanted to do.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a three- or four-meter-high fire, surrounded by iron shelves, and all coal in the middle, which was lit on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and has not burned until now.

This is also the custom here, and every household in the village is thriving. The downtown area is one downstairs.

There was also a fire built downstairs in Wu Yue's house, but it was more than a meter high, and it didn't use much coal.

Second Uncle Wu Yue smiled at Wu Yue and said, "I asked someone to pull a cart of coal for his family." When it was first built, it was more than five meters high, but now it has collapsed a lot. ”

In front of Wanghuo are two ringing workers, each of which has a middle-aged woman who looks quite beautiful, and few young people can be singers of ringing workers.

It seems that when Second Uncle Wu Yue was looking for a loud job, the first thing he considered was to sing well, not blow well.

The person who hung the family tree also came out and said to Wu Yue's father and son: "It's here." Come into the house and sit wow. ”

Martial Father nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Dad, I'll go look at the family tree."

Wu Yue was not familiar with the people of this father and son's family, and he didn't want to go in.

Second Uncle Wu Yue pointed to a family on the side and said, "En." Genealogy is in this home, and I'll bring you. ”

"Yes."

Wu Yue followed the second uncle into a room on the side, pushed open the door, and saw the family tree hanging inside.

In front of the family tree is a large wooden plank. In front of it are the tributes placed by each family. Cakes, fruits, etc.

The family tree hanging on the wall is a painting with a length and width of more than two meters, and the top is the two brothers of the Wu family, during the Qing Dynasty, because the original village had no land, the brothers moved to the remote Wujia village, married a wife and had children, and passed down from generation to generation, and reproduced to the sixteenth generation of Wuyue. There are hundreds of clansmen and fathers who can come to worship their ancestors.

Second Uncle Wu Yue said: "Because we have money, people who have migrated to other counties have also come over this year. There are also a few families who want to move to Gushi to see if we can help them. ”

Wu Yue nodded and said, "Well, look back and what you said to my dad, wow, help those who are in difficulty." ”

Second Uncle Wu Yue saw that Wu Yue was so good at talking, not as powerful as the sister-in-law said before, so he said again: "There are some fathers and sons who are relatively poor and can't afford to buy a house in the city. ”

Wu Yue walked to the family tree, looked at his grandfather's name, shook his head and said, "The low-rent housing is from the government, and we don't have to miss that money." Go back and buy a piece of land in the city with my father, build a few buildings, and divide the family that the father and son want. ”

Wu Yue hadn't considered these distant relatives originally, but when he came here and looked at the names written down from generation to generation on the family tree, he couldn't help but feel emotional, after all, they were all of the same clan and clan.

"Which one is our family's tribute?"

The second uncle, who was a little shocked by Wu Yue, heard Wu Yue's question, and hurriedly pointed to the three plates in front and said, "These are our family." ”

Wu Yue leaned over and picked off a little of the tribute on his plate, threw it in the direction of the family tree, and worshiped his ancestors, and worshiped everything on the plate one by one.

Only then did Wu Yue walk outside.

Out of the courtyard, Wu Yue didn't go into the house, and chatted with the third uncle's cousin.

I was bored, so I took a photo of the fire with my mobile phone and passed it on.

Wu Yue's cousin Wu Peng is five years younger than Wu Yue, just eighteen this year, a little silly, after graduating from junior high school, he went to the coal school, Wu Yue's third uncle is ready to spend money to get a state-owned coal mine to be a worker, after Wu Yue is developed, Wu Peng is not willing to be a worker, so he will not go to the coal school directly, and follow Wu Yue's third uncle to do something for Wu's father.

At eleven o'clock, the martial father and a few old men came out of the house, and then one of the most senior people went into the house and began to worship.

Wu Yue's seniority is a bit low, the person with the highest seniority is four times higher than him, and the martial father has to call him a master.

At the beginning of the worship, all the Wu fathers and sons knelt on the ground.

Wu Yue didn't care about soiling his pants, so he could only kneel down with Wu Peng in the back.

Starting from the person with the highest rank, two or two taboos were drunk, and at each memorial service, the presiding patriarch shouted: "Kowtow." ”

The father and son kneeling in the courtyard will kowtow with them.

When it was Wu Yue's turn, he had already kowtowed more than a hundred heads with the people in front of him, and they were all one-on-one before.

When it came to Wu Yue's generation, Wu Yue's second uncle said to Wu Yue: "You and Peng Peng will go to pay tribute first." ”

"Oh."

Wu Yue stood up and entered the house where the family tree was hung with his cousin.

Kneeling in front of the board where the offerings were placed, Wu Yue picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for his cousin, who sprinkled it in front, put incense on it, burned paper, and after completing the ceremony, the two of them knelt in front again.

The clan elder shouted: "Kowtow." ”

Wu Yue and his cousin kowtowed obediently, they kowtowed with people for a long time, and this time it was the turn of the people outside to kowtow with them.

Wu Yue's generation is really a bit small, and there are few children behind them.

Soon all the memorials were over.

And then there's the artillery.

It crackled and let it go for more than ten minutes, and then the people of the samurai family walked towards the village with the tribute and the remaining cannons.

Not every surname will come to the village to fire cannons, if there are more cannons in both houses, they have to be the first, and one will finish the other will be released.

This year, the Wu family has a big boss, and the shot is very generous, and several surnames in the village dare not come to compare with the Wu family, so they all put a cannon in the place where they hang their family tree, and they didn't come to the village bridge to put the score.

It is said that it is the head of the village, but in fact it should be regarded as the center of the village, with the township government on one side of the bridge and the village committee on the other side, of course, there are many villagers on both sides.

Many people in the village gathered around both sides of the bridge to watch when they saw the samurai procession coming down.

Second Uncle Wu Yue commanded Wu Yue's six Humvees to park on the bridge, moved down the boxes of guns in the trunk, and then the bodyguards drove away from this dangerous place, so as not to blow up the car by the falling guns.

The father and son of the samurai family unpacked and placed cannons on the bridge.

The cannon bought by the martial father was enough to set off a small fireworks display, and it was not fully placed on the dozens of meters long bridge after several laps.

And these cannons are all high-pitched cannons such as thunder, not fireworks that are performed at night.

"Boom"

"Boom"

When dozens of fathers and sons lit the cannon together, a loud bang began to hit the eardrums.

Wu Yue watched outside for a few seconds, and then ran to the Bentley parked in the distance, it was fatal to fire a cannon like this.

Half an hour later, all the guns on the bridge were fired, and the smoke from the bombardment was in the air.

At noon, the Wu father and son had another meal at the restaurant in the village, which was the end of the ancestor worship.

In the past, there was no such meal, they all went back to their own homes, and the fathers and sons in other villages went to eat at the fathers and sons who were closer to each other, in short, no one cared about the meals of so many people.

This year, it was the martial father who invited all the clansmen to dinner. (To be continued......)
