Chapter 44: The New Patriarch

Lei Xinyue exuded spiritual sense, slowed down, avoided human tracks, and returned to Earth through the teleportation array.

A few dodges back home, at this time it has been three months since the last time I went home, it has long been the New Year, even Qingming has passed, it is the end of April, Lei Xinyue changed into a sports suit, and did not forget to tear off the hair band, re-tie the hair ring, and slowly walked to the second grandfather's house.

Thinking about it along the way, I was about to revive the Lei family, and I thought about the mission of the Lei family, and I felt a lot of pressure.

When I came to the second grandfather's house, I swept the spiritual sense, but there was no one, and after thinking about it, I raised my feet and walked towards the ancestral hall, and sure enough, the ancestral hall was locked from the inside.

Lei Xinyue smiled, gently knocked on the door, and whispered: "Second grandfather open the door, I'm back." ”

Although the sound was small, it could be heard clearly in the ears of those inside.

There was a sound of footsteps, the door opened, and the seventh uncle's wrinkled face appeared behind the door, and after Lei Xinyue entered the door, he saw that the second grandfather, the fourth uncle, and the fifth uncle were all there.

Entering the west wing, everyone sat down, and the second grandfather spoke first: "Xiaoyue, you came back just in time, we are discussing your succession as the patriarch, and there are also candidates for the four elders." ”

Fifth uncle: "It just so happens that you are back, so we will pick a date and hold a succession ceremony." ”

Lei Xinyue was surprised, "I take over as the patriarch?" No way? ”

"Of course." The four of them actually said in unison.

"It's not that I don't want to do it, I may rarely come back in the future, and I can't take care of this side of things."

Several old men fell silent.

The second grandfather said: "It's because we didn't think it through." ”

"Then let Liwen go on top." The fourth uncle proposed.

There was no objection, and the matter was settled, and an elder was chosen again.

Several old men discussed the matter of the patriarchal ceremony in full swing.

Lei Xinyue looked at several old men wearing reading glasses and paying full attention, and thought, it's just an empty shelf, they are so nervous, it should be an obsession, for the glory of the past, the tragedy of the past, they all have a kind of obsession.

"Is it necessary to be so grand?" Lei Xinyue said.

The second grandfather looked formal and said: "In the past, the patriarch succession ceremony was very grand, to worship the ancestors, hand over the patriarch's tokens, and then the whole clan had to bow to the new patriarch, and all the clansmen must attend." ”

The fourth uncle took over the conversation and continued: "Now everything is simple, behind closed doors, even if you have a ceremony, you don't need to salute. ”

The fifth uncle sighed slightly and said, "In order to avoid publicity, we have to keep a low profile now, externally, this patriarch and the four elders are all empty shelves." ”

The seventh uncle wore glasses, held a book and did not speak.

The fourth uncle and the fifth uncle wore glasses, their heads together and muttered something, and the fifth uncle held a pen and wrote and drew on a piece of red paper. The seventh uncle was wearing glasses and holding a book to read, and the second grandfather was watching them from the side.

Several of the old men were seventy or eighty years old, with wrinkled faces, gray hair, and a little bent waist.

Looking at a few old people, Lei Xinyue thought to herself, yes, they should enjoy the blessings of the old people, and the matter of reviving the Lei family should be handed over to us young people.

But reviving the Lei family is so easy to say! Lei Xinyue smiled a little wryly.

The second grandfather pushed over a piece of red paper and said, "This is the list of the four elders, and when the time comes, together with the patriarch, we will take over the position of elder, and we old guys are old, and it is time to step down." ”

picked up the red paper, and the list read, Great Elder Lei Licheng, Second Elder Lei Liwei, Third Elder Lei Lixin, and Fourth Elder Lei Liyao.

Except for Lei Licheng, who is Lei Xinyue's cousin, who is thirty-five years old, the others are all under the age of thirty, and they are people from other houses, all of whom are the new generation of Leijia Village.

These people Lei Xinyue don't know each other well, but they will say hello when they meet.

Anyway, it's an empty shelf, but everything that is the core will not be told to them, and the center of gravity will be shifted to the Canglong Realm, and it doesn't matter who it is.

Old man Gao didn't tell the truth to a few old people, only said that he was there to pick up the Lei family, and after waiting for hundreds of years, no one in the teleportation array passed, and he couldn't come back, until he happened to see Lei Xinyue and came out of the teleportation array, and he didn't recognize each other.
