As in previous years, at noon, all the men in the village go to the ancestral hall to participate in the annual ancestor worship ceremony.

The difference from last year is that this year's ancestor worship ceremony has an additional ceremony to add Ding into the score. The so-called Tim Ding Entry Ceremony is to add the names of the newly born children in the clan to the family tree this year.

In ancient times, this was crucial for families of these new children. Because only by adding it can you count it as a clansman and enjoy the relevant rights.

And now, although everyone does not pay attention to these traditions, for the Han clan, this genealogy is also an important tool to gather everyone.

When you add your name to your family tree, you have roots. Therefore, many people who have moved outside and worked hard outside will also come back because of this incident.

After the ancestor worship was over, everyone did not disperse. Because before the ancestor worship, several older elders in the clan specially instructed everyone to stay after the ancestor worship and have something to discuss.

Although it is said that the things in this clan have nothing to do with Han Li and their young juniors. But out of curiosity, he stayed and wanted to hear what was going on.

In fact, what the elders said was not a big deal, at least not a big deal in Han Li's opinion.

Although the discussion lasted for two hours, it was summed up in two points. One point is that the state finance is now supporting the village-to-village project, and the elders want to take advantage of this opportunity to build roads in the village.

In fact, there is a road in the village, and it is a cement road. It's just that because this road was built relatively early, and there was a barite mine nearby, the road was crushed by these transportation vehicles.

Originally, it was agreed that this route would be maintained by this barite mine. But now, in response to the state's proposal to protect the environment, small and medium-sized mining enterprises are closed down and pollution is reduced. This barite mine has also become the first batch of mining enterprises in the city to be shut down.

And in this way, the barite mine was closed, and the road was left unmaintained. So it's only been a year or two, and the road is even more dilapidated.

Therefore, the elders thought of taking over the village connection project above to repair this road. According to the relevant policies, half of the special financial funds for the whole project are undertaken, while the other half needs to be borne by the relevant villages and towns themselves.

In fact, to put it simply, everyone bears a little bit and then builds the road.

Building roads and bridges not only benefits the township, but also facilitates funds, which is a good thing, so everyone must be very supportive. Just this mention of money, everyone's opinions have increased.

In the end, the elders deliberated and decided that it would be fairest to calculate according to the population, two thousand per person.

Naturally, this number is a bit high, and everyone has some complaints. But at the insistence of the elders, everyone didn't have much of an opinion. After all, this matter is for everyone's benefit, and it can't be cheaper for others.

And the second thing is also a good thing, that is, a tourism development company has taken a fancy to the scenery here in Hancun and wants to build a tourist resort hotel here.

If the village approves it, the tourism development company will not only bear part of the funds for the road construction, but will also give the village a sum of money.

It is said that this matter is very good, and there is still money to take, so there should be no problem for everyone. But soon after the old secretary proposed it, it was opposed by many people.

There are many reasons for everyone's opposition, on the one hand, they think that the money is too small, and each family can't get much money after allocating it. The other is stipulated in the tradition or genealogy of the Han Village, that is, the land of the Han Village cannot be sold to the outside world, which is stipulated by the ancestors of the Han family.

Although this family rule is no longer binding in modern times, there are still some people who are reluctant or have a lot of xenophobia.

There are also some people who refuse because they have a farmhouse at home, and if this resort hotel comes, it will not be without them to live.

So in this way, this originally good thing made everyone quarrel. In the end, I saw that there was no result, and the time was not early, so I had to disperse.

Back at Uncle Dao's house, everyone was also discussing these two things.

In fact, for Han Li's family, whether it is the first thing or the second thing, it doesn't have much to do with them.

It's a big deal, just pay a little money or a little money, and they may not even get a share of the money.

Although it is said that Han Yimin was still in Han Village when he was engaged in land contracting to households, he had land in his name. But after he left, the land was handed over to the eldest and second uncles to cultivate.

And now their family's household registration is no longer in Hancun, so these two things have little to do with them.

But according to the parents' intentions, this money still has to be paid. On the one hand, giving back to their hometown is what their children and grandchildren who have gone out should do.

On the other hand, parents also have their own selfish motives. As their parents get older, they seem to want to move back to the village.

The reason why he had this idea was because Han Li's grandfather was old, and Han's father wanted to go back and pay homage in front of him.

Although the family wanted to invite his grandfather to live in their house for a while. But the old people don't like the city very much, or the environment in the community, and resolutely refuse.

On the other hand, the air in the village is good, and they are all acquaintances. This is naturally better for parents who like to be lively.

However, this matter is also very troublesome, the first problem is because the parents' hukou are in the city, and it is very troublesome to get to the countryside, especially to apply for a homestead.

On the other hand, my father's land was handed over to the eldest and second uncles to cultivate. Although arable land is not worth much, it is not so simple to get it back.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle are okay to say, but the eldest aunt and the second aunt are sad at this level.

Han Li naturally had no opinion on his parents' idea, but he didn't bother to get involved. After all, this matter involves a lot of fathers' affairs, and it is not easy for him, a junior, to interfere.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of a large family, it is said that the family is about to leave. But because my sister-in-law came back this year, everyone persuaded them to stay and wait until tomorrow to eat the dumplings before leaving.

In this regard, the parents hesitated, but they still couldn't resist the persuasion of their sister-in-law and uncle.

The parents who stayed were naturally very happy, and the whole family got together to chat, play a dozen mahjong, and then watch the Spring Festival Gala together, and the thirties passed quickly.

Because of this, Han Li experienced a different Spring Festival in the countryside.
