Chapter 252: Recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors
"Yes, you are my godsister, the godsister who wants to give me a child." Zhao Bin took Zhou Mei's hand and smiled, Zhou Mei ignored Zhao Bin, she already understood that she couldn't entangle these topics with Zhao Bin, otherwise it must be more ambiguous and more ambiguous the more she talked, and the more she talked, the more flavorful she became.
After Zhao Bin and Zhou Mei came back from a walk, they walked into their grandfather's study and saw that their grandfather was standing in front of an old-fashioned desk, carrying a green bamboo wolf pen, writing and drawing on a piece of rice paper. "Grandpa, are you up?" Zhao Bin poured a cup of tea for his grandfather and put it on the desk. smiled and introduced: "She is Zhou Mei, my senior sister, my goddaughter who my mother just recognized, my godsister, specially came to see you, and by the way, she played in our Qingshui Village for two days." ”
"Hello grandpa, I'm Zhou Mei, grandpa, the calligraphy you write is so beautiful," Zhou Mei only knows how to fight and kill, how can she know calligraphy and painting, just pat the old man's ass.
"What a sweet-mouthed girl, are you Ah Mei? Good boy, Zhao Bin told me all the about you. Old Man Zhao put down the pen in his hand, walked over from the desk, and took Zhou Mei's hand, "What a beautiful girl, you will be my godgranddaughter in the future, wahaha." ”
The delicate porcelain face, big and shiny, Mizusawa bright eyes, a straight nose, and a long open figure, concave and convex, slender and well-proportioned legs, and a backward buttocks, let the old man see at a glance that this girl is a good girl who can give birth to a doll for his grandson......
Zhou Mei was a little weak by Old Man Zhao's eyes, and secretly glanced at Zhao Bin, thinking: Zhao Bin's grandfather's eyes are so poisonous, Grandpa wouldn't have guessed that Zhao Bin and I had that thing, right?
Zhao Bin also nodded at Zhou Mei, and Zhao Bin was also very happy to see that the whole family liked Zhou Mei very much.
Zhou Mei also gradually put her mind at ease, feeling that the old man cared about her abnormally, and as soon as she spoke, her amiable temperament made her lose the restraint of the first meeting.
"Ah Mei, when you come to me, you have to be like in your own home, don't be restrained, if Zhao Bin dares to bully you in the future, you tell me, I will help you teach this stinky boy a lesson!" The old man laughed as he spoke. He has lived for seventy or eighty years, and he can't see where this girl has a good impression of his grandson's red fruit. And the old man can see at a glance that Zhou Mei is the bride of broken melons, and the old man knows that eighty percent of it is a good thing done by Zhao Bin, a stinky boy.
"Grandpa, Zhao Bin didn't bully me, don't guess." Zhou Mei responded with some squirming.
"It's good if you don't have it, it's best if you don't have Seeing that Zhou Mei suffered Zhao Bin's loss and maintained Zhao Bin like this, the old man raised Zhou Mei's score in his heart. "Hehe, Ah Mei, do you like Zhao Bin's stinky boy?"
"No, grandpa, I'm not Zhao Bin's girlfriend, his girlfriend is Ye Xiaolu." Zhou Mei was seen by the old man, and she was a little flustered, and carried Ye Xiaolu out, and then she was a little sour.
Looking at his godgranddaughter's big eyes, his eyes were a little gloomy, and Old Man Zhao turned his head and glared at Zhao Bin. This stinky boy knows how to flirt with girls everywhere. Ye Xiaolu, who came last time, was okay, she was a yellow flower girl, this time, this Ah Mei, 89 times out of ten, was opened by him...... The stinky boy is so attentive at a young age, and he will have it when he grows up? I'll have to beat him a few times, old man.
Zhao Bin was stared at by his grandfather's sharp eyes, looked down at his grandfather's calligraphy and paintings seriously, and pretended not to hear his grandfather and Zhou Mei talking.
"Good boy, grandpa doesn't have any good things here, as a gift to you, I'll give you a set of four treasures of the study." The old man took out a brand new set of four treasures of the study from the cabinet and gave it to Zhou Mei.
"Thank you, grandpa, I like this gift very much." Being recognized by Zhao Bin's family is the best gift for Zhou Mei.
Dinner was naturally prepared by the second aunt and Wang Suzhen together, and Zhou Mei wanted to help, but she knew six out of seven about cooking, and she didn't know anything about it. I can only be busy making tea for the men who sit together and chat after eating. She also often goes to the Beauty Teahouse, and the tea art of making tea is naturally learned from Liao Jie. This skill has earned her a lot of praise.
That night, Zhao Bin slept with his grandfather, and before falling asleep, Zhao Bin couldn't stand his grandfather's torture and confessed everything.
"I know it's a good thing that your kid did, and you still want to hug left and right? At a young age, ambition is not small. The old man was very angry on his face, but he didn't think so in his heart.
In his opinion, although Ye Xiaolu is a good girl, the Ye family is an official family after all, and may not be able to look down on a small family like their Zhao family, and Zhao Bin is obviously not a material to do inverted doors, it is quite difficult to say whether he and Ye Xiaolu's daughter can succeed.
On the contrary, Zhou Mei is an orphan, and she is a very good person, and the most important thing is that both of them...... is a good candidate for granddaughter-in-law.
The old man is seventy or eighty years old, and there is only one seedling like Zhao Bin, if he can see the birth of his great-grandson with his own eyes, even if he closes his eyes immediately, there will be no regrets.
The old man was worried that his grandson would hang on Ye Xiaolu's tree with one heart, but he didn't expect this kid to be quite fat, so he found another one and did it for the girl.
Zhao Bin, this little bastard, is really a bastard. But who made him the grandson of Old Man Zhao? Beat and scolded, scolded and scolded, Zhao Bin is still the grandson of Old Man Zhao.
The next day, the Zhao clan held a ceremony to worship their ancestors, the old man Zhao has the highest seniority, and he was busy all day, the graves of every family are in his mind, and many of the Zhao clans who have worked successfully at home and abroad are considered the younger generations of the old man Zhao. Every time they returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors, they couldn't remember where the ancestral grave was, and it was all guided by Old Man Zhao.
These Zhao clan members are very respectful and grateful to Mr. Zhao's family, and every year to worship their ancestors, Mr. Zhao will receive a lot of gifts.
In the evening, outside the ancestral hall, the Zhao clan set off firecrackers, danced dragons, beat gongs, drums and trumpets, and then burned incense and paper, and held a feast...... Zhou Mei is the first time to see the traditional ancestor worship customs, I think it is very fresh, and then it is very sad, she lost her loved ones as soon as she was born, and she really envies Zhao Bin for having so many relatives.
Although the living conditions of these villagers are very simple, they can't eat sea cucumber shark fin, can't see a rear-projection TV, and can't sit in a BMW Mercedes-Benz...... But these villagers are simple-minded, spiritually rich, kind, and full of human touch.
"How? My hometown is fun, isn't it? By the Qingshui River, Zhao Bin and Zhou Mei walked hand in hand, Zhou Mei was afraid of being seen at the beginning, but there was no one around, and the sky was getting dark, so she was relieved and let Zhao Bin hold her hand.
"Well, life in the countryside is actually much more interesting than the fast-paced life in the city. And the people in your family are very good to me. "Especially the second one, for Zhou Mei, this is more important.
"Of course, like my grandfather, every meal of green vegetables and radishes boiled fresh fish, longevity is estimated to be not a big problem, but it is not like those rich people in the city, who are delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, but they are covered in fatty liver and diabetes...... By the way, I'll tell you something, don't be scared when you hear it, my grandfather knows about us. ”
"What's the matter? …… You mean, how did your grandfather know! Zhou Mei was in a hurry, and her voice became rough again.
"My grandfather is a human being, what's there he can't understand?" was taught a lesson by his grandfather, and Zhao Bin's manly aura has increased a lot.
"So what should I do?" Zhou Mei is worried that Old Man Zhao will look down on her, and she is even more afraid that the old man will tell Zhao Bin's parents about this.
"You don't have to be afraid. Grandpa won't talk nonsense about us, and he has already made decisions for us and written your name into our Zhao family's genealogy. Zhao Bin said with a smile.
Zhou Mei didn't understand these traditions, and asked with some doubts: "Is there anything special about writing my name into your family's genealogy?" ”
Zhao Bin said with a smile: "Of course, I am particular, but not any woman's name can be written into the family tree." For example, in ancient times, even if a concubine gave birth to a son for her husband, she could not write her name into the family tree, unless his son set up another door and opened a lintel to be eligible to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors...... Your name is written into the genealogy of our Zhao family, you are a member of our Zhao family, and after you and I die, we can be buried in our Zhao family's ancestral tomb. ”
"What are these things, feudal mentality." Zhou Mei understood it, to put it simply, the old man admitted that she was Zhao Bin's wife, even if the two did not get a marriage certificate, in Qingshui Village, in the eyes of the Zhao clan, she was Zhao Bin's legal wife.
"It's feudal, and it's also a tradition of recognizing ancestors and returning to their ancestors. At least my grandfather won't deny you, the granddaughter-in-law, so you can steal the fun. From now on, you will be a member of our Zhao family. Zhao Bin's words made Zhou Mei a little happy and a little unhappy:
"Who is rare in your genealogy, if I leave you and marry someone else? Are you going to remove my name from your family's genealogy? ”
"There are no doors!" Zhao Bin made a straight face, grabbed Zhou Mei's hand and said: "If you really dare to marry someone else, as long as I say a word, the Zhao clan will dare to go with me to snatch you back, do you believe it?" "In Qingshui Village, the family rules are more effective than the national laws, and one sentence of Old Man Zhao is more effective than a thousand words said by the police chief.
"You're scratching me." Zhou Mei blushed and smiled, she was just testing Zhao Bin just now, and she was quite happy to hear Zhao Bin say this. "It's a little cold, shall we go back?"
"Where are you going? Didn't you say you wanted to marry someone else, so why are you following me back to Qingshui Village? Zhao Bin was still sulking.
"I'm kidding you, cautious man." The two backs snuggled tightly together, and there was a sound of frogs all around.
In the early morning of the next day, when everyone was about to leave Qingshui Village, Zhou Mei blushed and said to Old Man Zhao: "Grandpa, Ah Mei is going back, I have really caused you trouble in the past two days." ”
"No trouble, no trouble, don't forget to come and see grandpa when you have time. Grandpa is too late to be happy when he sees you, how can he bother you? Ha ha. Old Man Zhao laughed happily. While patting Zhou Mei's hand, he stuffed a red envelope into Zhou Mei's hand.
After returning to the city, Zhou Mei opened the red envelope, which contained ninety-nine yuan, although it was less, but it represented Old Man Zhao's blessing to her.
