Chapter 56: The Nine Great Gui
If you want to say which traditional clan consciousness is stronger, then the regions of Guangdong must be among the top three in the country.
The so-called "towering trees have their roots, and the water of the mountains has their sources." ”
In the past few generations of the Jiang family, Jiang Ye's father Jiang Zhe is a single passer, and it is the turn of the next generation, and Jiang Ye is also the only seedling in the family.
From this, it can be imagined how precious Jiang Ye's grandparents are, although the way of expression is different.
At this moment, grandma Ye Qinzhi saw her grandson come back suddenly, and she was so surprised that she danced.
Pulling Jiang Ye is concern, he asked him how he lost a lot of weight: "How has this time passed?" It's hard work..."
Jiang Ye gently hugged his grandmother, saying that he was fine, don't worry, and introduced Yao Xiao.
"Grandma, how are you doing? Look at the spirit of Bei'er! Yao Xiao praised with a thumbs up.
Eno worked as a translator between the two.
Grandma smiled and changed to Mandarin: "Hello, thank you for your concern." ”
"Grandpa!" Eno saw his grandfather coming out of the study, and hurriedly waved his hand to say hello.
Although the relationship between the grandfather and grandson is undoubted, it can be said that grandfather Jiang Shiyu is the only nightmare in Jiang Ye's happy and scattered childhood life.
Medicine and martial arts are not separated, and the current Jiang family's [Liufutang] was first inherited by grandfather Jiang Shiyu from his father-in-law Ye Fulin.
At the beginning, the young Jiang Shiyu worshiped Ye Fulin as his teacher, and later entered the Ye family, Jiang Ye's grandmother Ye Qinzhi was his fellow sister, and the two met in their teens.
Belonging to the Wing Chun sect, Jiang Shiyu's lifelong wish is to carry forward and pass on the southern style of Wing Chun.
It's just that his son Jiang Zhe doesn't like to practice martial arts, prefers to study medicine, and is now a well-known Chinese medicine practitioner; Daughter-in-law Xu Nianzhen was originally a doctor of Western medicine, and her husband sang with her wife after marriage, and also inherited the ancestral medical skills of the Ye family.
Seven or eight years ago, [Liufutang] was completely handed over to the two to take over the baton, and Jiang Zhe and his wife cooperated with each other to keep the medical hall in good order.
Jiang Shiyu pounced on his son, so after his grandson Jiang Ye was born, he no longer accepted apprentices, desperately hoping that this only seedling of the Jiang family could be the heir of the Ye family's Wing Chun.
It's a pity that Eno is not here.
No, even if Jiang Ye has made a difference in the entertainment industry now, the old man is still obsessed.
"I don't want to have a good family heirloom, I want to go so far to be a star..."In the study and living room, grandpa was muttering again.
Grandma didn't let it, she has been the most protective of Jiang Ye since she was a child: "Dead old man, what age is it still so old-fashioned."
It's enough to learn martial arts to strengthen your body, and you don't have to fight and kill, so why do you work hard? You should have been when we were younger.
You can't control your son, so don't beat your grandson's idea.
My good grandson can do whatever he wants, and the most important thing for people is to be happy..."
Grandma Ye Qinzhi directly pulled Jiang Ye aside, and asked for warmth for a while, not saving face for his wife at all.
……
At noon, the Eno family finally got together again after a long time and had a simple but exquisite reunion dinner.
Yao Xiao, who came to visit for the first time, was deeply touched: "The atmosphere of your home is so good, so comfortable. And this old house, antique and clean. ”
"Pure?"
After the meal, Jiang Ye lay on the rattan chair in the small courtyard, comfortably holding a book and covering his eyes, "You will be able to feel the real clan culture later, don't be afraid for a while."
If you come, you will be a guest, and in order to show the friendship of the landlord, you must be entertained at night by the 'Nine Great Gui'. ”
The Guangdong region is accustomed to call the feast "Nine Great Gui", because in ancient times, nine was honored, and "big" meant extremely rich.
Up to now, "Nine Great Dishes" not only refers to nine dishes, but also refers to high-standard hospitality, in order to show that the host is very sincere in hospitality, and the other party itself is also a person of sufficient weight.
"Harm, with our social level, we will be afraid of many people?" At this moment, Yao Xiao didn't know that he was talking too early......
Wait for the sun to set.
In the evening, people who came to the Jiang family one after another heard the news, wave after wave.
Elders, peers, elementary school students with various accents...
"Little junior brother is back!"
"Oh! Xiao Jiu is back, hurry up and take a look at the demeanor of the big star! ”
"Uncle Nine, Uncle Nine, there are a lot of classmates in our class who are your fans, and they all like you so much!"
……
Yao Xiao watched this scene with embarrassment, and saw that Jiang Ye kept smiling and coping with ease, and secretly lip-synced at him: "Cow, batch!" ”
Before the official start of the meal, Jiang Ye had to introduce Yao Xiao one by one.
In this big room sitting in the dining room, there are his two uncles and uncles, Xie Tao and Yuan Jingsheng, who are the apprentices of his grandfather Jiang Shiyu and the same generation as his father Jiang Zhe.
The two senior sisters and six senior brothers are the apprentices recruited by these two uncles and uncles.
Eno is the youngest among the senior brothers, ranking ninth.
Therefore, Tong Ruiying, the daughter of the senior sister Zou Yun, and Zhong Kaipeng, the son of the third senior brother Zhong Junren, all called him "Uncle Nine".
The two children are two years apart, one is in the sixth grade of primary school this year, and the other is in the fourth grade.
"It's so interesting." Yao Xiao greeted them one by one, and asked Jiang Ye curiously: "Then you are a fellow disciple and have learned martial arts, are you all doing this except you?" ”
Jiang Ye shook his head: "Only the second senior brother has opened a fight gym, and it can be regarded as a little sideline, and the others have already gone to do something else." ”
"The family heirloom is about to break its roots, no wonder your grandfather can't let it go." Yao Xiao sighed.
Eno didn't reply, just thoughtful.
Seeing that the two senior sisters helped the old mother set up a long table of sumptuous banquets, the stomach was full of worms.
Stewed mushrooms with dried shrimp, stewed duck with pork skin and glue, braised flower belly with bamboo shoots from southern milk, white-cut chicken, stewed sea clams with garlic, beef brisket with radish, braised pigeon, steamed Haihe fresh ......
The grandparents came over, and the elders sat down first according to the rules.
Yao Xiao was very polite, saying that he would not treat himself as an outsider, and finally sat down with Jiang Ye next to the two elementary school students.
A bowl of old fire soup before a meal will not be missing no matter what.
And the topics on the table basically revolve around catching the wind for Eno.
"Xiao Jiu can come out now."
"Yes, there are a lot of young guests in my hotel talking about the little junior brother, and when I play the song, they are all happy."
"I also like Uncle Nine's songs! I can sing it even if I don't read the lyrics! ”
"Hey, if only we had the talent of a junior brother..."
Several senior brothers praised them all, and the master Uncle Yuan Jingsheng smiled and said, "With your elm head, do you still want to compare with Xiao Jiu?"
You post-born boys, you are the most talented in Xiao Jiu when you are young, you can write and martial arts, it is simply a copy of your ancestor when he was young. ”
"Eh, my good grandson is more beautiful." Grandma Ye Qinzhi spared no effort to defend Jiang Ye, and her words caused the whole table to laugh.
Only the old man Jiang Shiyu, the more others praise, the more his face collapsed.
In fact, Ye Qinzhi knows his wife best, and knows that the better Jiang Ye develops outside, the less likely it is to come back.
It is precisely because Jiang Ye has the talent of a martial artist that Jiang Shiyu has too high expectations for him, and he is even more reluctant to give up, and he can't bear it... In short, it was very tangled.
At this time, Tong Ruiying, the daughter of senior sister Zou Yun, held Jiang Ye's arm and coquettishly: "Uncle Nine, I worship you so much!" Wait a minute, can you sign it for me, and I'll take a group photo! ”
It is said that the daughter is like a father, a real elder sister, married to a small local aquatic merchant, and her life is quite abundant, and her daughter is a little squeamish by her husband's family, and she can't do anything about it.
"Uncle Jiu, don't listen to Senior Sister!"
Zhong Kaipeng, the son of the third senior brother Zhong Junren, is the same size as his father, and he is a generous little fat man.
It is estimated that when he grows up, he will be like the third senior brother, and eventually inherit the family business and become an excellent Cantonese cook.
Today, most of Zhang Luo's "Nine Great Skills" are the masterpieces of the third senior brother.
I saw Zhong Kaipeng making a grimace and continuing to expose improper transactions: "Senior sister, she just wants to sell your autographed photos for money!" ”
After speaking, he giggled, and stuck out his tongue at Tong Ruiying again.
……
This big family, although it is quite noisy.
Eno's eardrums were buzzing, but his heart was extraordinarily calm.
Away from the glitz and chaos of the entertainment industry, even if it's only temporary... He also sincerely experienced a kind of steadfastness.
He has not felt the warmth of family affection for a long time in his previous life, and he feels extremely lucky to be reborn in such a family.
I remembered some of the obsessions of my predecessor in my memory... Eno's heart was even more determined.
Yes, for the sake of this luck, he should also do something.
