Chapter 042: Patriarch Successor
"Uncle, you're amazing. You are the super master in Ying'er's heart!? Xiao Ying broke away from her father's arms and quickly greeted Lin Yan with her little legs.
Lin Yan opened his arms, picked her up like a bird, kissed her on her pink little face, and said with a smile: "Uncle is now a martial artist, and he can go into the mountains to hunt in the future, and buy a lot of chicken legs for you little gluttonous ghost to eat, so that you can become a little fat girl!"
"Uncle is the best for Ying'er, but in addition to chicken legs, I also want fragrant roasted sweet potatoes. Ying'er was not afraid of the threat of the "little fat girl" at all, her big eyes rolled, thinking of the sweet potatoes that Lin Yan baked half a month ago, she couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and said coquettishly.
"Lin Gan, congratulations on finally breaking through yourself and advancing to the ranks of martial artists. Zhou Ze gave him a punch in the chest and said happily.
Lin Yan lowered his head, shifted his gaze to the excited mother, and slowly approached. During this period, he had almost forgotten the identity of his previous life, and felt the maternal love of the woman in front of him with all his heart.
"Mother, I succeeded, my son lived up to his expectations and finally became a warrior!"
His mother looked at Lin Gen's much thinner face lovingly, stretched out her hand to caress Lin Gen's hair tremblingly, choked for a moment, and then said, "From today onwards, you can officially assume the responsibility of the family." Your father has been supporting his family and working hard for most of his life, waiting for today. When you grow up, you must share the burden on his shoulders well. ”
"Hmm. Lin Yan gently hugged this mother, who was two heads shorter than himself, but was incomparably majestic in his life.
Suddenly, he came to his father, who had always maintained restraint and pretended to be calm, knelt down respectfully, and bowed three times.
"Dad, when the child grows up, the burden of the family will be handed over to me in the future. You have worked hard for half a lifetime, it is time to rest and enjoy your old age. ”
Lin Yao finally couldn't suppress his emotions, and two lines of turbid tears rolled down, and he didn't help him up.
After he finished kowtowing earnestly, he said: "In the future, the Lin family will rely on you, you remember, no matter where you are, saving your life is the first priority." Second, no matter what, you must not lose the face of our Lin family! From today onwards, you will not represent one person, but the entire Lin family. ”
He was in his early fifties, and after decades of struggle, he was indeed exhausted. If it weren't for Lin Gan's inability to support the family business, he wouldn't have had to stand firm until now. Now that Lin Gen has become a martial artist, just as Lin Gen said, it is time to lower the burden and hand over the responsibility of the Lin family to Lin Gen.
"Huh. Lin Yao, congratulations. The Lin family can have a genius like Lin Gan, which is really envious of others. "Qiligou Patriarch Huo Tianzhao walked from not far away. He smiled and said, "But I don't like to hear what you say. Lin Gen does not represent him personally, nor does he only represent the Lin family. His first responsibility is to represent us Qiligou!"
"Patriarch. Seeing that the patriarch had come recently, Lin Gan's family greeted each other one after another.
They didn't see Lin Gan's performance in the "Sealing Space", and they didn't quite understand what Huo Tianzhao meant for a while.
"You have a talented son like Lin Gan, and I am proud of you. In the past, the village did not know Lin Gen well and had many wrong ideas, and I apologize to you and Lin Gen himself on behalf of them. After speaking, Huo Tianzhao bowed to Lin Yao seriously.
Lin Gan's father was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Patriarch, everything is easy to say." You are in an important position, so it is too torturous for me Lin Yao. ”
"For nearly 1,000 years, our ancestors drank the well water of Qiligou and were connected by blood. It is normal for each other to bump into each other, but when faced with the major interests of the village, everyone can help each other in the same boat and focus on the overall situation. In the past, everyone's attitude towards Lin Gen was naturally wrong, and you should also be open-minded and generous, and you should not be angry. A genius like Lin Gan, when we are employing people in Qiligou, we naturally have to use it greatly, but it is not appropriate for you to cherish yourself. ”
As soon as he spoke, not only the other people, but even Lin Yan became more and more confused the more he listened.
What does the patriarch mean by this, is it a mockery? It stands to reason that Lin Gan has proved to have succeeded well, but he is definitely not a genius! A tester who barely succeeded until the last moment of the sixth time is definitely not a gift!
"Well, you see it too. In this dragon sacrifice ceremony, there are many talents from other villages, while our Qiligou talents are withering, and our performance is lackluster. If Lin Gen hadn't appeared at the end and slapped those old ghosts in the face, we would have been afraid that we would have lost face and come home! A rare genius like Lin Gen would definitely be cultivated at all costs by Qiligou. And Lin Gen must also be ready to sacrifice his personal interests for the village at any time. Let me know you in advance, after I discussed with several clan elders just now, I made a decision: Lin Gen will become the next patriarch of Qiligou, that is, my successor!"
"Patriarch Successor!" Lin Yao's family was shocked, and so was Lin Gan.
Although they seldom pay attention to the affairs of village management, they also know that the patriarch is very important. You must know that being the patriarch means that you will lead the village and other villages, as well as some external forces to contend in the future, which is as big as the rise and fall of the entire village, and as small as the warmth and hunger of each villager. Therefore, the selection of the patriarch successor is cautious and harsh every time, and it has been screened layer by layer. And the candidates who can be determined are all the elites of the elite with amazing abilities.
In front of him, Huo Tianzhao actually said that Qiligou had decided to choose Lin Gen as the patriarch successor! The first thought was that the other party was joking, and the second was that the other party said the wrong thing.
Their eyes widened, and when they saw that each other didn't seem to be joking or saying the wrong thing, they made a "boom", and their minds went blank instantly.
The position of the patriarch is high and powerful, holding all the financial resources in the village and the power of life and death of the villagers, and his majesty is inviolable. Usually, when the villagers see it, they all bow their heads respectfully and greet each other, and their status is respected. - No matter how bold Lin Yao is for him, he never dares to think in this direction.
"The village wants to cultivate the successor of the patriarch of the clan?" Lin Yao was shocked, and his first instinct was that there must be a deep problem in it.
As soon as Lin Gen passed the confirmation, the patriarch said that he wanted to train Lin Gen to be the "next patriarch", what happened? At this moment, he subconsciously used conspiracy theories to speculate on Huo Tianzhao's motives. And Zhou Ze also felt that this matter was strange, so he simply didn't guess, and asked directly: "Patriarch, Lin Gan only proved successful after five failures, how can he talk about his talent?
Huo Tianzhao's eyes were sharp, he saw what they were thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this time, Lin Gen shined and made a splash, winning back a huge face for Qiligou. Didn't you just see the other patriarchs with black faces, like others who owe them debts and don't pay their debts? They just witnessed Lin Gan's amazing performance in the observation room, and they felt depressed when they saw Lin Gan, a genius who happened once in a hundred years, appear in our Qiligou. Hahaha......"
Speaking of the back, he thought of the wonderful expressions of the other people who were extremely envious and then frustrated, and couldn't help but laugh again.
"Lin Gan, you talk to your parents first. When you wait, you will report to work and carry out a group wash. Don't be late, now you are the treasure of Qiligou, the most important thing, you can't lose. ”
Watching Huo Tianzhao leave happily, Lin Gan's family seemed to be living in a dream.
Even Lin Gan was the same, after the successful confirmation, Huo Tianzhao congratulated him inside as soon as possible, but he didn't say a few words, because he didn't know the details. Hearing it in front of me, the village decided to become the successor of the patriarch, which was very different from the treatment of the "super waste" that everyone didn't want to see before.
He quickly figured out the reason for the sudden change in the village's attitude: it should be that he fused those two thunderbolts at the end to expose his strength. With his first-class realm, it was not surprising that these clan elders took a fancy to him. Not to mention the other benefits of this patriarch inheritor, but being able to get a lot of resources for cultivation will definitely help him reach the second-grade realm as soon as possible.
When he thought of this, his heart was naturally refreshed. Ever since he knocked Wanwan back with one punch that day, he has fallen in love with this feeling of being powerful and arrogant, and has chosen to take a path of martial arts cultivation. The position of the patriarch is towering, holding all kinds of interests, a large number of rare pills as auxiliaries, and a first-class martial arts, as soon as he thinks of these, his blood surges in his brain. The other good thing is that he is a floating cloud, and this is the only one that makes him happy.
He has already set a clear goal for the future: to continue to become stronger in martial arts, to continue to forge ahead, and to pursue transcendence in martial arts.
"Brother, you are going to become the successor of the patriarch, you are going to be the next patriarch!" Lin Qingrong was the first to burst into exclamation: "I said that my younger brother is a genius in the sky, not a thing in the pool." Sure enough, I don't know the prophet, brother, you are too powerful, my sister can finally show off to others in the future, I have a younger brother who is the patriarch!"
Xiao Ying'er was ignorant, but the respect for the position of the patriarch was because she understood that Lin Gen was going to be a big official, and she also raised her little hand and clapped her hands in Lin Ge's arms: "Oh, my uncle is the patriarch! My uncle is the patriarch! I will have a big chicken leg to eat in the future." ”
The evening was like a bright one, and Lin Yao's eyes when he looked at this son were full of mixed feelings.
"There is a successor to my Lin family, and finally a talented person has come out. The heir of the Qiligou patriarch, how many people dream of it! This is enough to make the ancestors of the Lin family proud. He thought that he had been mediocre for half his life, and that he was in the end only a humble hunter, and that his son was quickly surpassing him. This kind of blue relief added to the deep pride in his heart.
"From now on, one thing will finally be proven: my Lin family has never been a waste!"
Lin Gan's confirmation this time not only completely swept away the name of "super waste" for several years, but the most important thing is to show strength, exhale and raise eyebrows, and gain noble respect.
"Qingrong, don't jump around. The patriarch just said it, and the dust did not settle. If you shout like this, others will think that our Lin family is proud and frivolous!" Although he was excited in his heart, he reprimanded his daughter loudly.
