When he was a child, his grandfather often told Li Chen how the ancestors of the Li family were, and Li Chen just let it go.

When I grew up, I realized that the clan contains many cultural heritages.

The main purpose of the first pedigree 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.

Lijiacun is quite interested in generations, and after liberation, the family rules and ancestral training have gradually relaxed, with a little 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 the uncle 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 say about the genealogy?" ”

Li Chen: "Li Chengye, the fourth room of the Li family, the 371st generation of heirs......"

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 did have a family tree in his hand, and every sentence made Li Chengye show a smile.

As the patriarch of Lijia Village, the people of Lijia Village respect Li Chen very much, and will pave the way for Li Chen in everything.

"Second uncle, I want to contract the mountainous land of Shilipo, as well as a few acres of fish ponds at the foot of the mountain, I don't know who to find?"

Li Chen asked Li Chengye while flipping through the herbs.

"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 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, which 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 the uncle left, he handed it to me, and I'll bring it to you later.

You just need to go to the town to produce a certificate, and you have the final say on the acre and three points 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, and they all belong to 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 just needed a mountain forest and fish pond as a cover.

"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.

"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 air-dried herbs into the house, and the lack of internet at home was a problem.

Not to mention playing games on the Internet, even basic communication is a problem, and you need to run outside the village if you have something.

The next day, Li Chengye sent the note, and told Li Chen by the way that if the traders entered the mountain again in the future, no one would sell them mountain goods.

"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 Chen asked Li Chengye to accompany him to Shilipo, and Li Chengye 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 on his front foot, he ran into the courtyard of the ancestral house with his back foot, and when he saw that Wang Yingying was not in the courtyard, he quickly ran to Li Chen.

"Second grandfather is not going to fish today, go to the mountains with your second father-in-law, 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 this generation, Dudu is a junior, and he ranks second in 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, and happily looked for Li Chen to play, who knew that Li Chen was going to enter the mountain.

My mother said that I was not allowed to enter the mountain, but Dudu listened to my mother's words very much, and I 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 carried a medicine basket on his back, and several mountain dogs jumped back and forth.

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

Li Chengye: "By the way, I picked some green bamboo, there are a few big mice at home, and a nest of rabbits." ”

When Li Chengye is old, he no longer goes into the mountains to hunt, and there is still a little bit of game at home.

If you can feed it, you can raise it first, you can slaughter a few during the New Year's holidays, and you can also exchange money to buy candy for your 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 catty/bamboo rat meat, a bamboo rat weighs five catties, and a thousand yuan is fried for a plate, and ordinary people really can't afford to eat it.

Li Chen remembered that the last time he ate bamboo rat meat, it seemed that it was before he went to college, and his memory was so far away that he couldn't remember it.
