The next day, Chen Chumo washed very carefully and deliberately put on new clothes.

Well, this skin is really not covered, and it is alive and well as the actor of the movie.

Yes, today Chen Chumo is going to recognize his relatives, this is the purpose of his visit to H County.

Stuff the family tree, several family letters, and half of the jade pendant into the briefcase. I went downstairs and bought a loaf of bread and a bottle of milk, and headed for the station.

The proprietress looked at Chen Chumo's coquettish back and nodded secretly. Alas, he is really handsome enough, no wonder little Jasmine can't see him for a day, so she is absent-minded. Now even I, an old beauty, are in a state of flux, and if I were a few years younger, I would definitely chase you. Although we have no fate, in a few years, little Jasmine will grow up, and you two will be good. You Tang Lidong is 10 years older than our little Jasmine, since Little Jasmine likes it, it will be cheaper for you. Thinking about it like this, the more the proprietress thinks that Chen Chumo is likable, and the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes it!

The place where Chen Chumo went was Liwan Village, Xiaoyi Town, H County. The village is just off the road, which is convenient.

Sitting in the car, Chen Chumo was extremely nervous, and his hands holding the briefcase were sweating a lot. A businessman should look like a businessman, and this bag was bought on the way back to the hostel the day before yesterday. In addition, Chen Chumo also printed a dozen business cards.

How am I going to open my mouth? Isn't it inappropriate to come to the door so presumptuously? Well, by the way, I forgot to look at the yellow calendar when I went out today, and I don't know if it is suitable to go out to visit relatives and friends today. Do you want to send a letter to the village first, and then go back in a few days? Very anxious. See you early and see you late, always see you. Chen Chumo decided not to think nonsense anymore, wouldn't he just recognize his relatives and meet him, and it was not a matter of asking for guilt.

Liwan Village is not far from H County, more than 30 kilometers away, the highway is a 4-lane secondary highway, about half an hour to arrive.

At the entrance of the village, a huge pebble stands on the side of the village road, and the three big characters of "Liwan Village" in blood red are extraordinarily numerous.

There is also a small store at the entrance of the village, probably for the convenience of passers-by from the south to the north. There are three Chongyang trees planted in front of the commissary, which are tall and tall, and they should be more than 100 years old. In addition, there are two jackfruit trees that are bearing fruit, and two hibiscus trees. The lush foliage of the trees shaded the open space in front of the commissary. At this time, under the shade of the trees, several circles of people were enjoying the shade. There are people who play chess, there are people who play poker, there are people who chat, and it is not lively.

"Uncle, are you the descendants of the Chen family who moved from the capital?" Chen Chumo came to a few old people chatting and asked.

"Yes, everyone in the nearby village knows it. Young people are coming from out of town, is there anything wrong? A white-haired old man with a cane in his hand said.

"Yes, I'm from Hunan Province. My grandfather asked me to bring a few things to your patriarch, how do I get to the patriarch's house? Chen Chumo asked.

"I'm the patriarch, if there's anything, just show it to me." The old man's tone was very hard, and it seemed that the patriarch was not fake.

It's normal to look for relatives, take detours, and find the wrong person. Okay, it doesn't matter if you're not my own ancestor, I'll show you a look.

Chen Chumo took out several sealed letters from his leather bag, one more yellow than the other, and it seemed that they had been many years old. A dozen of the plastic photos are very new. This is Chen Chumo asked someone to renovate the old photos at home. The people in the photo are not from the same era at first glance, and there are even Qing Dynasty people with braids.

However, Chen Chumo didn't show these to the old man, and before he was sure that they were the people he was looking for, he should be safe. Chen Chumo took out another piece of leather bag, took out a piece of solid object wrapped in silk satin and handed it to the old man.

The old man's hands trembled a little, and he slowly opened the silk satin.

"It's back, it's back. After waiting for more than 100 years, I finally hope to come back today. Ah yes, go back and call your father, take our heirlooms to the ancestral hall, hurry, go! The old man shouted, as if there was an emotion that had been pent up for many years in his heart to be released.

Nima, this shout startled Chen Chumo. This old man was so shocked, Chen Chumo was really afraid that he would be angry all of a sudden.

"Young man, are you the descendant of Chen Cheng's great ancestor?" The old man held Chen Chumo's half of the jade pendant tightly in his hand, and he didn't mean to return it to Chen Chumo at all.

"Yes, the ancestor is Chen Cheng." Chen Chumo replied.

"Let's go, go to the ancestral hall and say. Old guys, together. The old man rewrapped the jade pendant and stuffed it into his pocket. With a cane in one hand, and Chen Chumo in the other, he left.

With the old man's shout just now, not only the old people around, but even the large group of people who played chess and poker followed the old man to the ancestral hall. They knew what the old man meant, and the story of their family was heard from generation to generation.

In the ancestral hall, the old man on crutches took a few old guys to incense, bowed a few more times, and chanted words in his mouth.

"What is your name, young man? How old are you this year? Who else is in the family? The old man on crutches asked after putting on incense.

"My name is Chen Chumo, a descendant of Chen Cheng's ancestor. Nai died early in childbirth, and eight years ago, her parents and grandfather died of illness. Seven generations of single transmission, thin people, I am the only one left in the family. Chen Chumo was a little lonely when he thought of the unpleasant things.

Deliberately erased his age, he didn't intend to tell anyone about his situation, he had the right to do so.

When everyone heard this, they all sighed again and again. The patriarch dragged Chen Chumo to the stone bench next to the main hall and sat down, comforting Chen Chumo. Then he asked about the ancestors of the family.

After a while, a middle-aged man with eyebrows and eyes somewhat similar to the patriarch squeezed in from the crowd.

"Dad, I've got the stuff." The middle-aged man was sweating profusely.

A historic moment, a family that has been separated for more than 150 years, will be reunited? The old man's hands trembled so badly that he had to call his son to help verify it.

"Yes, Dad! Brothers and sisters, uncles and uncles, the jade pendant is right. Our family got it back. The middle-aged man shouted excitedly.

Hearing the news, many people secretly wiped a handful of tears. After looking forward to it for so many years and looking for most of China, I finally got my relatives back today.

Chen Chumo was not as excited as his clansmen, but breathed a sigh of relief. In his place, he just completed a task assigned by his ancestors. Even now, with so many relatives around him, he still feels sad and lonely in his heart. Under the excitement of these relatives, it became more and more intense, so strong that Chen Chu was breathless.

"Seventh Master, here are some letters and photos left by the ancestors, which were specially left for you." Chen Chumo knew that according to his seniority, he had to call the patriarch like this.

"Well, that's it. You see, there are also photos of Grandpa Chen Cheng and our third grandfather and the fifth grandfather in the Qing Dynasty. This photo is also available in our ancestral hall. When the patriarch saw one, he divided one and showed it to the people.

There are even a few of these photos of the third grandfather and the fifth grandfather they have never seen before.

The letters are all the ancestors of Chen Chumo's side, and what each generation writes to their relatives here are words of greetings and concerns.

Through letters and conversations with Chen Chumo, the patriarch finally got a general understanding of the situation of Chen Chumo's family over the years.

Chen Chumo has been with the Chen family in Liwan Village for five generations, and he is a clan with blood thicker than water! The ancestors of the Chen family have a history that can be traced back to Chen Ping, the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty. The prosperity of the Chen family has gone through great tribulations, three ups and downs. The small tribulations have gone through countless hardships, relying on strong perseverance and hard-working character, the family lineage has endured. In the late Qing Dynasty, Chen Chumo's ancestor Chen Cheng did not dishonor his ancestors, inherited the legacy, and was a scholar of the former Qing Palace.

As for his younger brother Chen Yi, Chen Ru tried and failed, and relied on his eldest brother Chen Cheng to help him live. In the late Qing Dynasty, the government was corrupt and the national strength was weak. Gaozu Chen Cheng took precautions and knew that the Qing Dynasty was about to wither, so he made plans early. gave his younger brothers Chen Yi and Chen Ruwan family wealth, and ordered him to lead his family and his relatives to the south to avoid trouble. After several investigations, Chen Yi and Chen Ru finally settled down in Liwan Village, H County, Gui Province. Follow the ancestral teachings to make a fortune and spread the branches. It was Chen Cheng's entrustment before the catastrophe that made the brothers leave the capital, escape the war, and enjoy their old age.

However, the eldest brother Chen Cheng was unlucky, in the second year after his brothers left Beijing, he suffered the national humiliation of the "Nanjing Treaty", and died young. left his only son, Chen Beihe, an orphan and a widow. After Chen Beihe's father died, he took his mother south to join his uncle Chen Yi. I never thought that after passing through Hunan Province, I encountered bandits, and my money was scattered. In order to protect his mother, he was seriously injured. Therefore, he tentatively rested in Hunan Province. I don't want to, God's will makes people, and my body has not healed, but my mother died of illness due to fatigue during the journey. Chen Beihe originally intended to go south to avoid nuisance, so that his mother could enjoy her old age in peace. After the death of his mother, he realized that the boy was self-reliant, so he settled in Hunan to survive and develop.

Chen Beihe has been smart and studious since he was a child, and his articles are particularly good at arithmetic, which is deeply appreciated by his father's old friend Tu Fa. In Baling, which is today's Yueyang, he got a job as an account and finally settled down. With his wit, ten years later, he became a well-known businessman in Baling. Married Sun Yi, the daughter of Zhixian, and planned to go south to Gui Province again to find relatives after marriage.

The sky is not as good as people want. In the following year, the Taiping Rebellion spread to all parts of Yuezhou, and the road to the south was cut off by war. In order to avoid trouble, Chen Beihe had to travel to Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi with his wife to make a living. After more than ten years of wandering, although the Sun family has produced, none of them have survived. It was not until the fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that Chen Beihe returned to Baling that he got his son Chen Ji to continue the incense. In the same year, Chen Beihe fell ill, and then he was sick in bed all the year round, and he was unable to go south to find relatives. and Chen Ji became an adult, and Chen Beihe finally passed away. In order to comfort his grandfather Chen Cheng's regrets in his life, Chen Ji went to Japan to study. After returning from school, he followed Zeng Guofan to Anqing, Fuzhou and other places to establish a new business.

Chen Xinmin, the son of Chen Ji, followed Chen Ji's old Japanese classmate Sun Yat-sen and founded New China. He was persecuted to death before the great cause was accomplished, died young, and left his son Chen Lai. Chen Lai inherited his father's wish as an adult, and participated in the Northern Expedition in order to seek reunification. The Northern Expedition was victorious, the fate of the Chinese nation was uncertain, and the Sino-Japanese War broke out. After years of fighting, he finally won, but Chen Lai's wife and daughter unfortunately lost their lives in the war. Chen Lai was filled with grief, and sewed the domestic ethnic strife, so he returned to the Tomb.

After Baling, he married again and gave birth to a son, Chen Ge. Chen Ge obeyed his father's orders all his life, cultivated and studied to run the family, educated the countryside, and never went out. Chen Ge's wife died of dystocia and gave birth to a child, Chen Chen, known as the new beginning of New China!. Chen Chen, the father of Chen Chumo. He also did not become an official, but went to Xinjiang to contribute to China's national defense. Once he and his wife Su Qing took a plane home to visit relatives, and the plane malfunctioned halfway and landed in the radiation area of a nuclear weapon explosion. A few years later, they both fell ill and died. Chen Chumo's grandfather, Chen Ge, sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man, lamented the withering of the Chen family, and soon passed away.

In the same year, Chen Chumo became an orphan!

Compared with the thin people on Chen Chumo's side, the two ancestors of Liwan Village are very prosperous. In just over 100 years, it has grown from a dozen or so people when they first arrived to more than 320 people today. This made Chen Chumo amazed, such a strong reproductive ability, I, Chen Chumo, am so strong and handsome, whether I can get married in the future is one thing. Comparing goods and throwing them away, it's really more people than people have to die!
