Chapter 39: The Great Elder's Proposal

Patriarch Xu reprimanded Xu Rongrong with a black face

"Rong Rong, Shaobai came back with a gift, is there anything wrong?"

Although Xu Shaobai's gifts are the same for all ages, isn't Xu Shaobai like this every time?

said that he didn't have a heart, so why did he never repeat the gift he brought back every time?

Xu Rongrong snorted her mouth before closing it.

Looking at Xu Rongrong, who didn't apologize but didn't make a sound, Patriarch Xu withdrew his eyes with some displeasure, then looked at Xu Shaobai and said apologetically

"Shaobai, Rong Rong has been spoiled by her family since she was a child, don't worry about it."

"No, it won't." Xu Shaobai said with a smile, as if he didn't care at all.

In fact, it is the same, for the Xu family, let alone Xu Rongrong, even Xu Susu, he never cared.

If Xu Susu hadn't sung a song of "Three Ethnic Songs" this time, and he hadn't gone to practice, he wouldn't have deliberately returned to the village in advance.

Hearing this, Patriarch Xu smiled with satisfaction.

Sure enough, the granddaughter and the future grandson-in-law are still relatives

"Shaobai, you are a sensible person, this hour is not early, you and De'er and Ai Jiu, hurry up and wash off the dust, and then everyone will go to the banquet hall together."

He really likes Xu Shaobai's well-behaved and sensible.

"Okay." Xu Shaobai still responded with a smile, without a little impatience.

When it came to Ai Meng, he pursed his lips, feeling as if the Xu people had never eaten a big meal in eight lifetimes.

But now in the Xu family, she knew how to restrain herself, she didn't make a sound, and followed Xu Shaobai and them to turn around and go to her room.

……

At 6:45 p.m., the banquet hall

Although this feast is not as rich as the last puffer fish feast, there are all chickens, ducks and fish.

As for the wine, it is left over from the last fugu feast.

Before the feast began, Patriarch Xu sat down with the four elders and discussed one thing.

"Patriarch, today is a day of double happiness, why don't we take advantage of today to add a happy day?" The Great Elder sat on the side and said to Patriarch Xu.

"Tim Yixi?" Patriarch Xu looked at the Great Elder suspiciously, "He Xi?" ”

The Great Elder smiled, "Patriarch, it's not a day or two that our Xu clan wants to change the status quo. ”

"It's just that the patriarchs and elders of the past generations have more than enough heart but not enough strength."

"Su Su, you and I and the elders can see the performance these days clearly."

"I believe that if we give some power to Su Su and let her do it freely, maybe our Xu clan will really be able to change the status quo under her leadership."

Patriarch Xu is the patriarch of their Xu clan, and there are some things that can be thought but not said.

After all, Xu Susu is his own granddaughter, and if he wants to say this, it will make the clan feel that Patriarch Xu is biased.

But he is different, as the great elder of the Xu clan, the person who assists the patriarch in managing the clan, will show that Xu Susu is a capable person.

Hearing this, the second elder and the third and fourth elders all nodded

"Patriarch, we also agree with the words of the Great Elder."

Although they hadn't thought of this before, as soon as the Great Elder said it, they also felt that it was feasible.

After all, Xu Susu has courage and ideas.

In the past few days, although the clan has not made any big money, the food in the clan has indeed improved.

Moreover, selling puffer fish, as well as the harvesting artifacts and threshing machines that Xu Wuye is now leading people to make, are all bright businesses.

Although I don't know how much I can earn later, I can make money for a certain amount.

So what do they disagree with?

They agreed, but Patriarch Xu himself was a little hesitant

"I can see Su Su's performance these days, it's just that Su Su is a girl, and Shaobai came to our clan and made the most money, if you arrange for Su Su to manage the clan, I'm afraid that Shaobai will have ideas."

"After all, he is Susu's child husband."

"Also, Su Su wants to arrange for the clan to come, so she can't be an elder, you know, there are many things that can't be managed, so this matter has to be considered in the long run."

Let his granddaughter come to the clan to take charge of affairs, he is naturally happy, don't say anything about men and women, because their ancestors have never favored sons over daughters, they are afraid, and the reality is difficult.

Hearing that Patriarch Xu was worried about this, the Great Elder smiled

"Patriarch, this matter is easy to do, although Su Su is a girl, she is always our Xu bloodline, and she is a recruiter, so don't worry."

"It's Shaobai, although he will join our Xu family in the future, he will never have Xu's blood on his body."

"We don't give Su Su the position of Elder Su either, just give Su Su a position of governor, or not succeed."

"In the future, when Su Su leaves office, the clan can also elect a new manager, right?"

"In this way, Su Su is only below us elders, but above the clan elders and stewards."

"If there is anything in the future, she can discuss it with us directly."

"As for Shaobai, can you let him assist Su Su."

"If he wants to do a good job, let's promote Su Su to be an elder."

"After all, he didn't shed the blood of our Xu clan."

Although he promoted Xu Susu, he couldn't let her pass them elders.

And that Xu Shaobai, even if he is capable, he is just a rich one, so of course what benefits are there, he has to give Xu Susu, who has the blood of the Xu family, first.

As soon as the Great Elder's words came out, the second, third, and fourth elders nodded again

"We feel very good."

Seeing that all the elders felt that it was feasible, Patriarch Xu, as Xu Susu's own grandfather, naturally nodded

"Okay, I'll announce it when the table begins."

"Then I'll call Susu over now." The four elders stood up and said.

"Okay." Patriarch Xu answered.

Soon, Xu Susu was brought by the four elders.

As soon as he arrived at the table, Xu Susu asked politely

"Master, elders, is there something wrong?"

"Susu, it's a good thing that you come here." Patriarch Xu beckoned Xu Susu to sit beside him and didn't say anything.

And when Xu Susu sat down, he was still selling Guanzi

"Didn't you say before that you want your fellow people to have something to say tonight?"

"You sit next to me now, and when I finish my speech, you can speak."

Xu Susu looked at the smiling Patriarch Xu and felt weird, so he looked at the elders.

It's just that the elders also looked at her with a smile.

Seeing that they were selling off, Xu Susu also sat down obediently.

When the sound of the change is sounded (note: 戌时, 7 p.m. At the beginning of the feast, Patriarch Xu began to speak

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a happy day, first of all, the autumn harvest in our clan was finished ahead of schedule, and secondly, Shaobai and their group of young people have come back from outside."

"Although today's feast is not as rich as the last puffer fish feast, there should be something, and before the banquet, I want to talk about the personnel changes in the clan."

The four words of personnel changes made Ai Meng's eyes light up.

Because her son-in-law has made a lot of money for the Xu clan in recent years, this personnel change should be to let her son-in-law have a position in the clan.

Otherwise, when they came back before, why did Patriarch Xu say, 'Don't go out when you come back'?

It seems that his son-in-law has not been busy in vain in the past few years.
