Chapter 97: The Huang Family's Parasite
Early the next morning, Wang Yang took Ni Xiaotong out to play.
And Lin Xiu also got up early and cleaned up.
A white T-shirt with jeans and a pair of cricket shoes is Lin Xiu's favorite match, not that it looks good, but it is comfortable.
On the contrary, it was my grandfather, who wore a yellow tunic that he hadn't worn for a long time, and looked very formal.
For people of the older generation like my grandfather, the Huang family's ancestor worship is a big deal, and it is strange that they don't pay attention to it.
"Xiu'er, you must remember that you can't lose face in front of your ancestors and ancestors today, and remember not to make trouble."
Before going out, my grandfather didn't forget to remind him.
Lin Xiu nodded and said, "Got it, grandpa, I'm measured." ”
Nodding, grandpa took Lin Xiu out of the door.
After going out, Lin Xiu saw that the streets of the urban village were full of people coming and going.
On the day of ancestor worship, it is not only the Huang family of Hai Province who participates, but also some side branches, as long as they are from the same ancestral hall, they will come.
All of them had beaming expressions on their faces.
As the saying goes, it's not that enemies don't get together, as soon as Lin Xiu and his grandfather walked out of the door, they saw Huang Jun who lived next door and his mother Zhou Xingrong.
Huang Jun was injured by Lin Xiu, and he was not well at this time, and his chin was still wrapped in bandages.
"Hey, Jun'er, take a few more looks, you won't be able to see some people in the urban village in the future." Zhou Xingrong said in a weird way.
Huang Jun pretended to be stupid and asked, "Huh? Why? ”
"Our Huang family is a big family, and the recession in recent years is all because some parasites rely on us, and the patriarch has made up his mind to get rid of these parasites." Zhou Xingrong said with a smile.
The words of the two made the people around them also discuss.
"Who do you think will be kicked out of the urban village? I feel so dangerous, I've only made two million this year. ”
"I'll go, cousin, how can you embarrass me for making me earn more than a million yuan, if you want to be kicked out, I will be kicked out."
……
Listening to the words of the people around him, he seems to be quite modest, but which one is not showing off his achievements for a year?
"Xiu'er, let's go." Grandpa's face was also a little unsightly, and he pulled Lin Xiu and said.
Lin Xiu suppressed the anger in his heart.
After all, it was my grandfather's ancestor worship that reminded me that if I made some trouble, it would be difficult for my grandfather to do it.
The people in the urban villages are rushing to the ancestral hall.
At this time, the ancestral hall was extremely crowded.
There were quite a few people standing at the dam outside.
"The third grandfather is here, please inside." A boy wearing glasses and a suit and leather shoes saw Lin Xiu and his grandfather coming, and also came over to say hello.
"It's Huang Chen!" Grandpa nodded.
Huang Chen glanced at Lin Xiu: "This is the third grandfather, your grandson, right?" ”
"Well, Xiu'er, come here, this is your cousin, who is now on an errand in the government!" Grandpa pulled Lin Xiu and said.
Huang Chen is the son of the patriarch Huang Zhenzhong.
Although Huang Zhenzhong fell back then, he still has some connections, and after his son graduated from college, he also got him an official position, and now the younger generation of the Huang family is the best mixed with Huang Chen.
Many people regard Huang Chen as the hope of the Huang family, if Huang Chen can climb to the same position as Huang Zhenzhong at the beginning, it is not impossible for the Huang family to revivenation.
I saw Huang Chen smile faintly and waved his hand: "Third grandfather, don't blame me, a junior, for saying you, although my cousin is your grandson, but after all, he is a person with a foreign surname, and today is the day when our Huang family worships their ancestors, he came over, it's a little inappropriate, right?" ”
As soon as Huang Chen's words were finished, an embarrassed smile suddenly appeared on his grandfather's face.
"What's inappropriate, it's all the blood of the Huang family, shouldn't you worship your ancestors?" Grandpa didn't speak, Lin Xiu said directly.
When Huang Chen heard this, his glasses narrowed, now among the peers of the Huang family, who would dare to stand up to his own words?
I was unhappy in my heart, but Huang Chen was a mixed officialdom after all, and in front of the public, he didn't say much, just nodded: "My cousin is reasonable, but I'm a little stereotypical, but I just want to worship, just worship outside the ancestral hall, and there is no need to go in." ”
They all do things according to the rules, and here in the Huang family, people with foreign surnames do not have a precedent for entering the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.
After saying that, Huang Chen left.
Even if he is unhappy with Lin Xiu, it is impossible for him to quarrel with Lin Xiu like Huang Jun did at the beginning, Lin Xiu is a gangster in his eyes, quarreling with him? It's a loss of identity.
"Xiu'er, this!" Grandpa frowned, Lin Xiu was his grandson, and now he couldn't even enter the ancestral hall to worship his ancestor.
Lin Xiu shook his head: "It's okay, grandfather, it's okay when you have your mind, why do you care about so much red tape." ”
For Lin Xiu, paying homage to the ancestors of the Huang family is only secondary, and the real purpose is to improve his grandfather's status in the Huang family, at least so that his grandfather will not walk on the street and be insulted by a junior at will.
If you want to improve your grandfather's status, it is useless to beat people by yourself, only to let these Huang family members really pay attention to and even respect their grandfather.
"Everybody be quiet, be quiet."
Huang Chen took out a horn and shouted at this time.
Some of the noisy crowds suddenly fell silent.
"Today is the big day of our Huang family, an annual ancestral sacrifice! First of all, thank you to all of you for taking time out of your busy schedule! Then, I would like to announce something in my father's place. ”
If you want to announce something, those who know know it have points in their hearts.
As for those who don't know, they are still discussing it head-to-ear.
"This matter is related to the future development of our Huang family, and it is related to whether our Huang family can stand at the top as before." Huang Chen shouted eloquently.
The more Lin Xiu listened, the more sneering in his heart became, wasn't it because his grandfather had offended him once that Huang Zhenzhong had offended him and wanted to take back his grandfather's house.
It's still said so high-sounding.
"This matter is to get rid of the parasites that rely on our Huang family, don't do things, and only occupy resources!" Huang Chen shouted loudly.
Lin Xiu could feel that his grandfather's body beside him was trembling slightly.
Clay figurines also have three points of fire.
In front of so many people of the same clan and younger generations, if they are said to be parasites that only occupy the resources of the family, who can stand it?
The hand gently held my grandfather's hand: "Grandpa, it's okay, I'm here." ”
"Cousin, you can make it clear, who is the parasite of our Huang family! dared to hinder the development of my Huang family, and I, Huang Jun, were the first to drive him out! Huang Jun was below, shouting like a double reed.
Huang Chen waved his hand and shook his head and said: "Regarding who is a parasite in our Huang family, I, who is a junior, is soft-spoken, where is it good to say, let my father say it himself." ”
It was only at this time that Huang Zhenzhong slowly walked out of the ancestral hall.
