Sunset over the West Mountains.

Li Chen rode a motorcycle and dragged large bags into the village, and Wang Haodong's temporary station had been set up.

The exploration team was busy with dinner, Jin Yang and Li Chengye were sitting under the old tree in the ancestral house, not knowing what they were talking about, Bei Bei and Dudu were having fun on the stone lion.

Zhang Xue and Zhou Xin accompanied Beibei, and when they saw Li Chen riding back, they walked over quickly: "I thought you were missing, and you didn't see anyone all afternoon." ”

Li Chen looked at Zhang Xue curiously: "Secretary Zhang hasn't gone back yet?" ”

Zhang Xue: "Do I want you to take care of it if I go back?" ”

I don't know why, every time I can't say three words to Li Chen, Zhang Xue will sulk.

"Flying..."

Bei Bei saw the Flying Tiger on the fuel tank, slid down from the stone lion, and ran towards Li Chen quickly, and the Flying Tiger jumped lightly and landed in front of Bei Bei.

Zhou Xin was worried that his son would fall, so he came up and pulled Beibei, and looked up at Li Chen: "Brother, isn't Feitian in the Shenzhen Market?" ”

Li Chen took off his helmet: "I dragged a friend back and sent it back, and I happened to have a companion with Beibei." ”

Zhang Xue, who was originally sulking, saw the flying tiger ridden by Beibei, and asked with some uncertainty: "Is this a cat?" ”

Dudu watched Bei Bei ride on the Flying Tiger, hiding behind Zhou Xin and not daring to approach, looking at Bei Bei on the back of the Flying Tiger with envy.

Zhou Xin wasn't quite sure: "It seems to be." ”

When Li Chen appeared with the Flying Tiger, Zhou Xin was also taken aback, a big cat of nearly twenty kilograms.

Although the Flying Tiger has stubby limbs, it is more powerful than a large pet dog, and it is no wonder that Zhang Xue is suspicious.

Bei Bei rode on the back of the Flying Tiger and pointed to Dudu behind Zhou Xin: "Flying is over, I want to play with Dudu." ”

Dudu saw the Flying Tiger rushing over, grabbing Zhou Xin's jeans and almost crying, Zhou Xin hurriedly picked up Dudu, the ferocity of the Flying Tiger, she had seen it with her own eyes.

Li Chen took out a piece of magic core and handed it to Dudu: "Dudu doesn't cry, if you give this to Feitian, it will be friends with you." ”

Dudu took Li Chen's magic core and carefully handed it to the Flying Tiger, who bit the magic core, stretched out his tongue and licked Dudu's little hand.

Seeing that the Flying Tiger did not resist Dudu, Zhou Xin put Dudu down, and at the instigation of Beibei, the two took turns to hide and seek the Flying Tiger.

When Li Chen handed the magic core to Dudu, Jin Yang and Li Chengye happened to come out and happened to see the magic core in Li Chen's hand.

Jin Yang: "My brother is really undewy, millions of emeralds, you are willing to play with your pets, if you are swallowed." ”

Others may need to identify it before they can determine whether it is a gemstone, but Jin Yang doesn't need it, because he has this eyesight.

Li Chen unloaded the ingredients and smiled at Jin Yang: "My brother hasn't gone back yet, so I happened to stay with Secretary Zhang for dinner." ”

Jin Yang was unceremoniously: "I specially brought a few bottles of old wine this time, just waiting for your words." ”

There were wild wolves in the deep mountains of Tonggu Town, and Deng Youhua and Zhao Gang knew about it, so Deng Youhua left in the afternoon.

Jin Yang was greedy to stay, Zhang Xue saw that Jin Yang didn't leave and stayed, anyway, it wouldn't be boring to have Zhou Xin as a companion.

Zhao Gang suffered the most, and the safety of the construction team and Zhang Xue fell on Zhao Gang's shoulders.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sun did not set, Zhao Gang went out of Lijia Village to arrange work.

Zhao Gang didn't want to, so he carried two hundred catties of meat and traveled back and forth to the mountain road of Lijia Village all day long.

Li Chen looked up at Li Chengye: "Second uncle, hasn't the third brother come back yet?" ”

From the afternoon to now, Li Shaohua won't even be able to catch a few fish, right?

Li Chengye pulled Li Chen into the house, and said to Li Chen as he walked: "Chenzi, there is only so much that the second uncle can help you, and it will depend on you in the future." ”

Li Chen looked confused: "What's going on?" ”

Li Chengye's old face tightened: "This time when the Zhentian bell is ringed to elect the patriarch, except for your ninth uncle and Li Shaoming, most of the people support you, and your position as the patriarch is stable." ”

Li Chen was even more puzzled, there were obviously few people to support him in the morning: "Second uncle, you're not joking, most people?" ”

Li Chengye: "Of course it's the majority, do you think that this Li family ancestral hall enshrines thousands of tablets, just a few people in our village?" ”

As soon as Li Chengye said this, Li Chen remembered that there were more than 3,000 spirit tablets enshrined in the lobby, and even the uncles who moved out in Lijia Village were only 100 people, where did so many ancestors and ancestors come from.

Li Chengye: "Last night, I asked Yingjie to go to the town and ask your eldest brother to give some news to the elders of the clan, and your eldest brother has already brought the news back in the afternoon." ”

Li Chen: "What's the news?" ”

Li Chengye: "Including the Li family and your seventh uncle in North America, there are more than 38,000 people in the Li family, and half of them agree with you as the patriarch." ”

Li Chen didn't care if he could be the patriarch, the key was Zhou Xin's problem, Li Chengye seemed to understand Li Chen's thoughts.

opened his mouth to solve Li Chen's doubts: "As long as you are still the patriarch for a day, it is up to you to decide whether Xin'er enters the family tree or not." ”

Li Chen smiled at this time, he didn't expect that those Li family brothers who had never been masked would be so powerful and would support him.

Especially the seventh uncle Li Chenglin, his temper is even more stubborn than the ninth uncle Li Chengcheng, if he is unwilling, even if the second uncle holds a knife to the neck of the seventh uncle, the seventh uncle will not agree.

Li Chen: "What about Uncle Nine, isn't he?" ”

Li Chengye: "You don't have to worry about him, he will figure it out in a few days, as long as you are a down-to-earth person and worthy of the ancestors of the Li family, your ninth uncle will naturally not embarrass you." ”

Li Chen: "By the way, why hasn't the third brother come back yet?" ”

Li Chengye: "He and the two brothers Mingjie went to Shilipo together, saying that the fish pond was deep and difficult to catch, and they planned to put the net down. ”

Li Chen: "I'll take a look." ”

Li Chen also wondered, the drainage outlet was built by himself, and the water level of the fish pond was about the same as before.

If you want to say that you can catch a thousand or hundreds of catties under the net, Li Chen can still understand, is it necessary to spend so much effort to catch a few fish?

Li Chen hurriedly left the ancestral house, but Jin Yang and Zhang Xue surrounded Beibei, and Zhou Xin repeatedly dissuaded Jin Yang from approaching the Flying Tiger.

Jin Yang had a very strong curiosity about the magic core in the Flying Tiger's mouth, and repeatedly instigated Zhou Xin to catch the Flying Tiger and take out the magic core in his mouth to take a look.

Zhang Xue also heard for the first time that the cat that eats gems, Zhou Xin has explained many times, although the Flying Tiger looks cute and stupid, but his temper is not good, but Jin Yang just doesn't believe it.

Fortunately, Li Chengye's announcement attracted the attention of Jin Yang and Zhang Xue.

After Li Chen left, Li Chengye pasted out a few pieces of big red paper, on which were densely packed with names, listed according to generation.

Jin Yang and Zhang Xue took a closer look, and there was a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes, it seems that this Lijia Village is not as simple as it seems.

In a small village, tens of thousands of people voted in the election of the patriarch at one time, which shows how united Lijia Village is.

If something happens to Li Chen, the energy of these tens of thousands of people is definitely a powerful force.
