Chu Jiadong really did not expect that he separated his eldest son from his aunt, but his youngest daughter turned around and shot a carbine. When the aunt dragged Chu Jiadong to the ancestral temple to discuss matters, Chu Jiadong's heart collapsed. He actually wanted to sweep the tomb of his father and stroll around in his old home.
Chu Jiadong has not been good at meddling with things in his hometown. The reason is that Chu Jiadong's surname is Chu, and it should be his second brother surnamed Hu who is in charge of it, but because Dink dare not go back to the village, the matter is complicated. He didn't pay much attention to the ancestral temple for many years, just came back to see it when it was repaired, and didn't care about the organization and management at all.
The aunt wanted to cry and wipe away her tears, so she complained to Chu Jiadong: "Before my brother left, he asked me to help Hu Laoer manage the ancestral temple. I have been conscientious and diligent, thinking that I will give it to you in the future. Second brother, how can I stand her smear like this... "
Chu Jiadong looked at the old man and wiped his face. He suddenly felt a big head and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, don't cry, we will go first."
Chu Jiadong didn't dare to let the aunt's mood fluctuate too much, lest Cousin Xiao Xiao and others be worried, after all, this is the family's mother and is still on the other party's territory.
Chu Jiadong looked at Cousin Xiao Xiao hesitantly, but the other party waved his hand easily: "Go, go, it's about your old Hu family!"
Cousin clearly knows his mother's power as a demon. His current state of mind is quite relaxed, which makes Chu Jiadong extremely helpless. Chu Jiadong wanted to say that he was not surnamed Hu, but his aunt had already held his arm, and he was now riding a tiger.
Chu Xiaoyi and Xiao Bi followed behind. They had all planned to go out to sweep the grave, but they had unexpected twists and turns, and their faces were naturally dazed. Chu Xiaoyi simply asked the camera beside him: "What happened?"
The show crews are scattered all over the village, and it is naturally the eyeliner of Chu Xiaoyi and others. The staff asked for a moment on the walkie-talkie, and replied, "Xiao Xiao made a blessing in the ancestral hall and had a dispute with the aunt."
Chu Xiaoyi: "To make a blessing fruit? How to do it?"
The staff asked the camera to check the material, and then reported: "She said that it will be done with a 'ding' on the platform of the ancestral hall."
Chu Xiaoyi: "..." Do you think it's a microwave-heated meal
The ancestral hall was originally the place where the family discussed matters in the past, but with the changes of the times, more and more people have left their hometowns, and the village has gradually become deserted. Before grandpa Xiao Xiao passed away, he felt that his sons would no longer return to their hometown, so he let the aunts take care of the ancestral temple, and also wrote the family tree of other aunts.
Grandpa Xiao Xiao has been passed down from generation to generation. As the only male in his generation, when his father passed away, he was the patriarch of the family. Logically, Uncle Xiao Xiao should be the next patriarch, but unfortunately he passed away prematurely and only had a daughter. Erbo Xiao Xiao should take over the burden, but he was too scared to go back to the village because Dink was entangled by his aunt.
Chu Xiaoyi is right, the aunt really has no choice, otherwise she shouldn't ask Chu Jiadong to judge.
In the past, the great aunt always asked Grandpa Xiao Xiao for justice, and now she continues to ask Chu Jiadong for justice, but Chu Jiadong really does not have the confidence to hold down her little daughter, and he has never defeated Chu Xiaoxiao in debate. He can still whisper that Chu Xiaoyi needs to be polite, but he doesn't dare to say that to the little daughter, she can turn people over with reason.
Chu Xiaoxiao will not leave stains, she must have a complete logic chain before starting a battle with you.
Sure enough, Chu Xiaoxiao was still sitting in the ancestral hall, and there were a group of nervous little girls behind her, but she looked calm and calm, leaning against the platform of the ancestral hall, as if Mount Tai had collapsed in front of her and her color remained unchanged.
Chu Xiaoyi saw that his younger sister was quite a big sister, and he was gloating on the sidelines to watch the child fight the old lady, quite like watching the fire from the other side. He may have been beaten too hard by Chu Xiaoxiao, but now seeing others unlucky, he suddenly regained his spirits.
Chu Jiadong sighed. He had heard the aunt's cry on the road, and said helplessly: "Xiao Xiao, please explain what happened."
Chu Xiaoxiao remarked: "Xiaojie and the others didn't have the blessing fruit yesterday, I think the ancestors also wanted to bless them, so everyone made the blessing fruit together to make up for the one that was missed yesterday. Although we didn't light incense, we worshipped them earnestly. Ancestor, is there something wrong?"
Chu Jiadong really didn't notice Xiaojie and others yesterday, mainly because the surroundings were messy at the time, he remembered that Xiao Xiao didn't get the blessing, and the aunt's aunt was shoddy, and Xiao Yi was angry about it. Because Chu Jiadong didn't know any relatives or children, he didn't realize that there were none of the girls. He just assumed that it happened to be Xiao Xiao who didn't.
Chu Jiadong nodded: "There's nothing wrong with it?" The little daughter spoke clearly, and he really didn't pick out the fault.
When the aunt saw that Chu Jiadong's combat power was so low that she couldn't even hold on for one round, she immediately said dissatisfied: "Of course not! They have broken the rules, how can they make their own blessings? There are no serious ceremonies, only provocation. Ancestor is angry!"
Chu Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Okay, then please ask the aunt to help us hold a serious ceremony, and then give us the blessing fruit produced."
Chu Xiaoxiao was questioned about her production qualifications, but she did not become angry. It was the first time she made a blessing, and it was normal to be accused of not having a proper ceremony. She doesn't care whether she will bring blessings or not, she just needs a batch of blessings.
The aunt choked for a moment, and then she burst into a rage: "I said that there are no girls who ask for blessings! You guys are against the rules!"
Chu Xiaoxiao: "Which ancestor said that girls can't eat Fuguo? You call him out and I'll reason with him!"
Great aunt: "You start talking nonsense again!"
Chu Xiaoxiao said loudly: "You can't prove that your ancestors said this, you are monopolizing the production of blessing fruit, you are unfair competition, and you will be punished by law!"
Great aunt: "… "
Chu Xiaoxiao casually read an English article not long ago, loaded with a lot of economic terms, and believed that the aunt was trying to monopolize the production of Fuguo, so she insisted on using "rules" to question their production qualifications. If Chu Xiaoxiao and others can create blessing fruit, it will obviously violate the aunt's existing power and will naturally provoke the other party's anger.
The aunt is an old woman in the countryside. How can she understand unfair competition, let alone where it is illegal
Chu Xiaoyi fanned the flames and said, "Why bother to ask my ancestors, call me and ask my second uncle..."
Chu Xiaoyi couldn't wait to see the aunt's downfall. He didn't believe that the second uncle could say that sons were more important than women. According to the rules, men should be in charge of the ancestral temple. He naturally defeated the rules with the rules and forced the aunt to step down.
The aunt was attacked by her brother and sister, and she began to wipe her tears again: "I can understand that you guys are bullying me together. My brother asked me to take over the ancestral temple. that is… "
Hu's second brother is Xiao Xiao's second uncle, and Chu Jiadong hurriedly said, "Don't, don't, don't, that's not what you mean..." His second brother would be even more frightened of his hometown if he knew about the disaster.
Chu Jiadong was dizzy due to the quarrel, and finally heaved a deep sigh. The host said, "I'll discuss it with my dad later, and give everyone an answer at night, okay?"
Chu Xiaoyi's face was dazed. He really didn't know how his father discussed with his grandfather.
Chu Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "Does Dad want to discuss it with Grandpa?"
Chu Jiadong touched her little head and said, "Yes, grandpa is the elder brother of the aunt and the grandfather of Xiao Xiao. He must be the most fair."
When the aunt heard Chu Jiadong's mention of her brother, she immediately stopped her tears and understood that they were going to visit the tomb first. The battle in the ancestral hall briefly ceased, and the great aunt naturally couldn't question the rationality of the discussion between Chu Jiadong and Grandpa Xiao Xiao. If Chu Jiadong couldn't speak to his father's tomb sweeping, wouldn't it mean that the ancestral hall ceremony was useless, which is self-defeating , does not conform to the rules of the aunt.
The aunt's thinking is a mixture of rationality and irrationality. There are countless contradictory places, but inexplicably balance is formed.
The group took Chu Xiaoxiao to visit grandfather's grave, and then let Xiaojie and others go home. Chu Jiadong said that he would explain it to his aunt in the evening, and he did not criticize his younger daughter, and he would not mention it again after leaving the ancestral hall.
Grandpa Xiao Xiao's cemetery is located in the green mountains and green waters. Their ancestors have been buried in their old home for generations. This is also his last wish. The uphill road was very difficult to walk. Chu Xiaoxiao arrived in front of the tombstone with her brother in the car. She bowed to grandfather and offered incense, earnestly: "Hello grandpa, I'm Chu Xiaoxiao."
Chu Xiaoyi looked at his grandfather's tombstone, but remembered the past, and felt a little empty in his heart. In his memory, grandpa was not a sleeping tombstone, but a warm and lively old man, different from Chu Xiaoxiao's feeling.
The little girl has not seen her grandfather, nor has she actually touched death. After experiencing the incident at the ancestral hall, she began to believe that her voice could be heard by her ancestors, and she had to sue her aunt before her grandfather's tomb.
Chu Xiaoxiao: Anyway, my great aunt wiped her tears in front of my father, and I have to sue her in front of her brother.
Chu Jiadong was very silent in the face of his father's tombstone. He cleaned the surroundings and wiped off the ash on the tombstone with his own hands, without saying a word the whole time.
Chu Xiaoyi and Chu Xiaoxiao also helped a little. Xiao Bi looked at the top of their children's heads and said with a smile, "You are blessed by grandpa, is this Zu Yin?"
Xiao Bi took off the leaves on Chu Xiaoxiao's head, and Chu Xiaoyi touched the back of his head when he saw it, and found that his head was also confusedly stained with leaves. There are no other people in the same company, but the two brothers and sisters rubbed against each other.
Chu Xiaoyi knew that this was a good wish, but Chu Xiaoxiao firmly believed that it was Grandpa who wanted to uphold justice. Grandpa really felt that she was right, but her aunt was wrong.
The group was about to return after the tomb sweeping. Chu Xiaoyi saw his father squatting and didn't move, and said, "Dad, are you leaving?"
Chu Jiadong: "You guys go down first, I'll chat with your grandfather alone..."
Chu Xiaoyi was really confused. He always felt that the direction of things was getting more and more strange. Could it be that his father could really discuss it with his grandfather
Chu Xiaoyi hugged Chu Xiaoxiao and followed Xiao Bi and others down first. They walked slowly so that Chu Jiadong could keep up.
Chu Jiadong stayed alone in front of the tomb. Of course, he did not have the ability to communicate with his deceased father, but he figured out his father's psychology in countless memories. He didn't understand many of his father's practices before, but when he gradually got to this age, he gradually began to understand.
Grandpa Xiao Xiao is a serious old man who is taciturn and not good at expressing himself, and is even more strict with his sons. Chu Jiadong can only rely on the past to infer the slightest emotion revealed by his father. After the birth of his grandchildren, Grandpa Xiao Xiao's personality changed a lot, and Chu Jiadong became more able to understand his father.
Chu Jiadong: "Dad, I don't know if I think right or not. I can only guess blindly based on your past practices, but I don't think I guessed wrong..."
"If you think it's okay, I'll tell my aunt that, okay?"
In the silence, a soft wind brought a fallen leaf, which happened to fall in front of Chu Jiadong. There was a hint of softness in his eyes, and he said softly, "Then I will take it as your promise."
Chu Jiadong stood up, and he finally glanced around in front of his father's tomb before chasing after the large army that left first.
The group returned to the small building of the cousin's house. After dinner, Chu Jiadong proposed to chat with the aunt and aunt, and did not let other people participate. Chu Xiaoxiao and Chu Xiaoyi were scratching their heads, but they were blocked outside the door and couldn't overhear the chat.
Chu Xiaoxiao blinked: "What did Grandpa tell Dad? Does Grandpa support me?"
Chu Xiaoyi was unable to complain about his sister's thoughts, but instead he fooled Director Li: "Will you let me see the situation in the house? You have already installed cameras, right?"
Director Li: "...Is this the privacy of elders?"
Chu Xiaoyi: "Your show has exposed the privacy of my entire family. Now you are too embarrassed to mention it to me?"
Director Li was speechless for a moment, but he wanted to say that the broadcast content was also screened, not everything was released. However, the Chu Xiaoyi team will have to review the film sooner or later, and Chu Jiadong and the great aunt both agreed to shoot at the beginning, so it is not impossible to see it in advance.
The staff set up a small TV for the brothers and sisters, and everyone huddled in the corner to eat melons silently, wanting to know the final result of the battle of the ancestral temple. The show crew has signed a non-disclosure agreement, and although they can't speak out, they can watch it secretly.
Chu Xiaoxiao was squeezed in the middle by people in black, she said thoughtfully: "It turns out that being a person in black is what it feels like."
The directors gradually became familiar with her and joked, "Do you want Xiao Xiao to be a director in the future?"
Chu Xiaoxiao: "No, it's a headache to meet a star like my brother."
Chu Xiaoyi: "...Why do you still talk so much about TV?"
After Chu Jiadong entered the house, he first started chatting with his aunt and grandma about his health, the current situation of his hometown, etc. The content was quite boring. The aunt also mentioned the matter of changing her surname again, saying that she wanted Chu Xiaoyi to change her name to Hu Xiaoyi.
The two finally talked about Grandpa Xiao Xiao, and the aunt was very enthusiastic, and began to describe how good the relationship between her and her brother was. It seemed that she wanted to imply that Chu Jiadong educated Chu Xiaoxiao.
Chu Jiadong simply explained the business and said solemnly: "Gu, I have thought about it for the past two days, and I plan to go back to discuss with my second brother, and add the daughters and granddaughters of my aunt's family to the family tree in the future..."
Chu Jiadong didn't ask about genealogy before, mainly because his surname was Chu and his name was not right, but this time he felt that he couldn't retreat.
The auntie hurriedly said, "How can I do it? This is against the rules. My brother asked me to help Hu Lao Er take care of the ancestral temple..."
Chu Jiadong: "Actually, my dad didn't ask you to help my second brother, he meant to let you take care of it."
Great aunt: "Since it's for me to take care of, I want to..."
Chu Jiadong interrupted the other side softly: "Do you remember that my dad didn't like to eat fried noodle tea? Everyone in the family liked it at that time, only my dad didn't like it?"
The aunt was stunned for a moment. She didn't know how the topic came to this point, so she hurriedly said: "Remember, everyone said that he was the eldest young master. He was very picky, and he didn't eat noodles and tea."
Chu Jiadong: "Actually, my dad likes to eat fried noodle tea, but he doesn't dare to eat it. Because of the shortage of food in the past, he said that he once got up to eat noodle tea, and only after eating did he realize that it was you who walked a long way in the early morning. You take home a tin of noodles, but you don't eat a single bite..."
Chu Jiadong used to think that his father didn't like pasta, especially fried noodle tea. He later saw that his mother made Chu Xiaoyi fried noodle tea, and his father happily accompanied him to eat, and then he knew the truth was not like this.
Flour was a scarce resource in the past, and only the men in the family could eat it. Even if the great aunt tried her best to move it back, she couldn't get a bite as a girl, the adults would only make it for the only boy. If Grandpa Xiao Xiao was a callous and conscienceless boy, he might be able to enjoy the privilege with peace of mind, but he is not.
He felt that he was not eating chow mein tea, but eating the flesh and blood of his sisters and occupying their resources, and since then he has stayed away from this kind of food. He may have engraved his sister's disappointed face at that time in his mind, and even if she has since been assimilated by old thoughts, he can't forget it.
Anyone can accuse the aunt of something wrong, only Grandpa Xiao Xiao can't do it. Because he was born into the position of the perpetrator, with guilt and uneasy conscience, but he couldn't change it for a long time.
In my aunt's memory, her brother was a very good person, and he would often fight for her, but he did not give in on the issue of Chu Jiadong's surname. Grandpa Xiao Xiao didn't want to have a conflict with his sister, and later left with his family to avoid conflicts between the two sides. This is the only thing he can do.
Because Grandpa Xiao Xiao is the only male and patriarch in the family, he is responsible for all female relatives. Even if they marry out and have disputes with their in-laws, he cannot stand by and watch. This is the price he plunders for the resources of his sisters. But he also desperately hopes that the child can escape this rule and end the long-standing situation.
Chu Jiadong didn't understand these things before. His father was not someone who could face it directly, but he gradually reasoned and understood from clues. Grandpa Xiao Xiao once said that Chu Jiadong's name is good or bad, because "jiadong" represents extremely high expectations, but "being the pillar of the family or family" is a very tiring thing, which often makes people breathless But get angry.
Chu Jiadong used to wonder why he gave himself good and bad names, but it is estimated that this is the true portrayal of his father's complicated mood. Grandpa Xiao Xiao could not escape the shackles of the family, and subconsciously wanted to breathe a sigh of relief. The preference for sons over women is a persecution of women, but is it not a persecution of conscientious men
Grandpa Xiao Xiao has been unable to get rid of family responsibilities for a long time. He must atone for his identity as an unconscious perpetrator, otherwise he will have a disturbed conscience.
Chu Jiadong: "I think my aunt let my aunt take care of the ancestral temple before I left, and wrote a few aunts on the genealogy. It's not for you to help my second brother take care of it, but I want to tell you that men and women can manage it."
"Our brothers rarely come back now, and gradually they are not familiar with their hometown. You and your cousin are still here, and the roots of our family are still there. As long as the family can be reunited, no matter what the surname, male or female, it doesn't matter. Relationship." Chu Jiadong knows that he and his cousin still have feelings, and it is even more difficult to say when it comes to the generation of Chu Xiaoyi and Chu Xiaoxiao. Maybe the blood will be diluted and the emotions will be weaker. It is not easy to gather everyone. What about the so-called old rules
"My dad cried after eating fried noodle tea at home. He said he was choked on by pepper noodles, but I know it wasn't." Chu Jiadong's tone was serious, but the aunt was already weeping.
Chu Jiadong saw that the aunt couldn't stop wiping her tears, so she could only comfort the old man silently, listening to her crying and scolding her father for being stupid. She has been bound by old-fashioned thoughts for a long time, but at this time, she remembered a touch of childhood resentment, but she gradually forgot over the long years, but her brother did not forget it.
She remembered her brother's good advice in the past, but at that time she only thought it was his favoritism towards his wife, and she never understood its true meaning.
Many past events are blurred by time, people always feel that they have been forgotten long ago, but they will suddenly remember in a certain detail.
Chu Jiadong wasn't sure if he interpreted his father correctly, but he had already done everything he could.
The next day, my aunt woke up early after crying a lot. She was really a tough old lady.
Xiao Jie and others all got new blessings, and even Chu Xiaoxiao got the second one. She took the big orange from her cousin's hand and asked curiously, "Isn't the aunt not mentioning the rules?"
The uncle smiled and said, "She said yesterday that she dreamed about your grandfather, and now she has found something new to do. She wants to record the children of other aunts on the family tree."
This is really a huge workload. You must know that there are many children and grandchildren of the aunts. Fortunately, the aunts are very energetic and look high-spirited. Chu Jiadong and his second brother really can't do this, they don't have such strong energy, and they don't have such a terrible sense of family responsibility.
Chu Xiaoxiao nodded, she was deeply convinced: "Sure enough, Grandpa is reliable, very efficient, and stronger than Dad."
Chu Xiaoyi frowned: "...Wait, isn't this my dad's credit?" Isn't it because Chu Jiadong brought this up and the aunt changed her mind a little
Chu Xiaoxiao: "No, it must be the grandfather who persuaded the great aunt in a dream." She firmly believed that the dispute in the ancestral hall was heard by the ancestors, so the grandfather and the ancestors talked to the great aunt.
Chu Xiaoyi: "..."
Chu Xiaoxiao: "Brother, you open a hotspot for me, I want to add Xiaojie's WeChat..."
Knowing that Chu Xiaoxiao knew countless friends a day, Chu Xiaoyi couldn't help feeling that the children in the village had a good network, and now they can have WeChat, he opened WeChat to Chu Xiaoxiao and asked, "Why are you so anxious to add her? Can you add more when you go back?"
Chu Xiaoxiao: "We want to discuss the sale of Fuguo. She said that she recorded the detailed process in the morning, and then we can wholesale and mass-produce it."
Xiaojie was inspired by Chu Xiaoxiao. She stared at the aunt's operation in the early morning, convinced that their next step process would be correct, and they would definitely be able to obtain production qualifications. Although the little girls tasted Fuguo, they all felt that it tasted similar to an orange, but it was a Fuguo after all, and it was definitely different from other oranges.
Chu Xiaoyi: "???" Are you still trying to break the aunt's market monopoly over Fuguo
