Li Chen also knows nothing about the genealogy of the Li family, when he was a child, his grandfather often told him how the ancestors of the Li family were, Li Chen only let it go from time to time, and when he grew up, he realized that the clan contains many cultural inheritances.

The main purpose of general pedigree revision is to respect the ancestors and collect the clan, and to educate the members of the clan and the descendants of the clan on the ethical education of respecting relatives.

That is, respect for ancestors, strengthen clan unity, and make it clear how to behave and behave, and the family rules will be clearly marked.

The main content of the genealogy is to record the family lineage, that is, the lineage passed down from generation to generation, and the deeds of important people.

Genealogy is generally divided into prefaces, examples, postscripts, ancestral halls, ancestors, generations, family rules, family mottos, etc.

Li Chen lives in the ancestral house, which is the so-called ancestral hall, the front hall is the ancestral hall, and the backyard is the phase room, which belongs to the very large old courtyard.

Lijia Village has its own ancestral mountain, and the ancestor is on the back mountain, and all the ancestors of Li Chen, who are buried in the ancestral land of the back mountain.

With the liberation, the family rules and ancestral training have gradually relaxed, with less shackles from the old society and more understanding and care.

Li Chen: "Second uncle, the Li family tree has always been in my hands, your book is just a roster of seniority rankings, and the real genealogy grandfather has already given it to me." ”

Li Chengye: "Seriously, why didn't my eldest brother tell me before leaving?" ”

Li Chen: "Naturally it's true, will I, as the patriarch, deceive people?"

Even if I want to lie to someone, I won't lie to you! ”

Li Chengye: "Then what do you want to tell me about the genealogy?" ”

Li Chen: "Li Chengye, the 371st generation heir of the Li family's fourth room......"

Li Chengye: "This is the genealogy of the Li family, didn't you say the genealogy?" ”

Li Chen: "The ancestor of the Li family tree, obviously my ancestor, Han Shi Liufang, Xunzi and grandson, this is okay, if it doesn't work, there will be."

Said all the descendants, listen to my precepts: Reading is the most important, the second is agriculture, there is a way to take it, why don't you work, does the second uncle still think I lied to you? ”

Li Chen does have a genealogy in his hand, and every sentence makes Li Chengye show a smile, as the patriarch of Lijia Village, the people of Lijia Village value Li Chen very much, and they will pave the way for Li Chen.

"Second uncle, I want to contract a piece of mountain land and a few acres of fish ponds, but I don't know who to find?"

Li Chen asked Li Chengye while flipping through the herbs, Li Chen has already made up his mind to come back this time, not counting whether Wang Yingying will come back or not, he will stay in Li's village for the rest of his life.

"You ask me, and I ask you?"

Li Chengye sat on the old grinding plate in the courtyard, glanced at Li Chen, took out his cigarette pouch and pounded it into the pipe.

"Ask me, why is that?"

Li Chen originally thought that there were many mountains in Li's village, and as long as he spent a little money, he could rent the mountains, plus the fish pond left by his grandfather, it was enough to make trouble.

"You are the patriarch of Lijia Village, this ancestral mountain is the property of the Li family, and anyone who moves out has made a note, and they will not be allowed to touch the property of Lijia Village in the future.

Before your grandfather left, he left it to me, and I'll bring it to you later.

You only need to go to the town to prove that you have the final say on the one-third of an acre of land in Lijia Village! ”

Li Chen was stupid when he heard it, there are not many paddy fields in Lijia Village, but there are many mountains, and the mountains and rivers within a radius of dozens of miles all belong to Lijia Village, this will be Li Chen?

"No, second uncle, you misunderstood what I meant, what I want to plant is a new variety, and only a thousand acres of mountain forest is enough.

As for the mountainous area, in addition to the fish pond left by my grandfather, I want to transform the dozens of acres of mountainous land on the ten-mile slope to the east into a vegetable garden. ”

Li Chen didn't want to monopolize the patriarchal power and seek personal benefits for himself, he only needed a mountain forest and fish pond as a cover, otherwise the things produced in the territory could not be explained.

"It's up to you, there are only more than ten households in the village, except for the paddy field at the bottom of the ten-mile slope, no one wants to cultivate the rest, and it has been abandoned in the past few years."

Li Chengye didn't know what Li Chen wanted to do, but as the patriarch of Lijia Village, as long as he was not a traitor, the patriarch's decision should be supported.

Li Chen didn't expect that things would go so smoothly, before Li Chengye left, Li Chen asked him to tell the people in the village that after all the herbs were dried, Li Chen would find someone to come to the village to recycle them.

"It's not a way to go on like this, go to the town tomorrow and ask if you can pull a strip of fiber."

Li Chen put the dried herbs into the house, and the lack of Internet at home is a problem, not to mention playing games on the Internet, even basic communication is a problem, and every time there is something, he needs to run outside the village.

The next day, Li Chengye sent those notes and told Li Chen that he had informed the villagers that the traders would never sell them any more mountain goods if they entered the mountain in the future.

"Is the second uncle free, how about walking with me, I haven't been up ten miles for several years, and I can't remember the road."

Li Chengye's grandson was already in elementary school, and he originally wanted to go into the mountains, but when he heard Li Chen ask him to accompany him to Shilipo, he turned his head and walked home.

There are often wild wolves in the mountains and forests, and Li Chengye does not dare to enter the mountains without bringing a few mountain dogs.

"Second grandfather, Dudu has come to see you, whether you are going to fish today."

As soon as Li Chengye walked with his front foot, he ran into the courtyard of the ancestral house with his back foot, glanced at Wang Yingying no longer in the yard, and quickly ran to Li Chen.

"Second grandfather is not going to fish today, second grandfather and your second father-in-law are going to the mountains today, do you want to go."

Li Chen almost forgot about this guy, the generations of Lijia Village are Cheng, Shao, Jie, and Yu.

In addition to Li Chen's second uncle Li Chengye and ninth uncle Li Chengcheng, most of the remaining uncles have moved out, and some have already driven west.

Li Chen, a young character, is rare, because of life and other reasons, there are many single names in Lijia Village, but the family tree does not record a single name, just like Li Chen is Li Shaochen on the family tree.

The Jiezi generation is the mainstream of Lijiacun's generation, and some of the Yuzi generations who have married early have appeared, and Dudu is the second of the Yuzi generation.

"My mother said she wouldn't let me go into the mountains, there are wild wolves in the mountains, and when they see children, they will take them and eat them."

Dudu held his head high and was a little disappointed, happily looking for Li Chen to play, who knew that Li Chen was going to enter the mountain, but his mother said that he was not allowed to enter the mountain, Dudu listened to his mother's words very much, and he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

"Then did your mother tell you that it's right to follow the second master, you can go wherever the second master goes, you see that your father-in-law is not afraid of wild wolves, are you afraid?"

Li Chengye was carrying a medicine basket on his back, and several sitting dogs jumped later, Dudu was a little afraid of the sitting dogs, Wang Li Chen leaned on this side, holding Li Chen's hand and not daring to let go.

Li Chen: "Second uncle, what are you carrying the medicine basket for, are there any herbs in Shilipo?" ”

Li Chengye: "By the way, pick some green bamboo, there are a few big mice at home, and a nest of rabbits, why don't you slaughter a mouse at night and try it?" ”

Li Chengye stopped hunting when he was old, but he still had a little bit of game at home, and those who could be fed would be raised first, and a few could be slaughtered during the New Year's holidays, and he could exchange money to buy candy for his grandson.

The so-called big rat is actually a kind of mountain rat, also known as bamboo rat, which not only has good meat quality and high nutrition, but also the price is not cheap.

Two hundred yuan a pound of bamboo rat meat, an adult bamboo rat is nearly five pounds, and a dish is fried for a thousand yuan, which is really not something that ordinary people can afford.

Li Chen remembers that the last time he ate a bamboo rat was when he graduated from high school and was admitted to college, and now he looks back on it very far away.
