Regardless of whether it is probing or out of breath, the two parties have now explained their identities. Although they are not necessarily friends, they can't be called enemies.
"Have you all had dinner? Find a place to have a meal?"
The group of people were more or less embarrassed to see that I was so good at talking. This group of people have such a plateau red on their faces. This is also an important reminder for me to be able to figure out their identity. Qingzang Ningjia, if you don’t have plateau red, who has plateau red.
There was not much to say along the way. I saw that they seemed ashamed of their pockets. I paid for the taxi. It's nothing to be a kidnapper.
I found a place to open a box, and only then did I count it carefully. There were eight people, including Ning Peiping, all of whom were born in Chinese.
Speaking of seniority, something that now seems very outdated, I became interested. "You said at the time that I was also a Pei Zi generation, so I should be called Ning Pei Chuanli?"
The name changed immediately, I said to my heart.
Among them, Ning Peiping should be headed, and whoever talks should look at Ning Peiping before talking. One of them was called Ning Peichun or Ning Pei or something and said, "It was all calculated by the elderly in the clan, and it has been calculated for a long time with the genealogy, but after the division, you don’t need your previous generations anymore, so you
Our seniority here is a bit messy. "
Ning Peiping said: "Moreover, even on our side, not many people still use character generation to name names."
I saw that his expression was more or less lonely, but he became interested, "How do you say?"
Others sighed. Ning Peiping said: "Among the younger generation, those who are still using seniority are the eight of us."
It turns out that although the Qinghai-Tibet Ning family cannot be said to have declined, but like the Nanyang Ning family, there are very few people in the clan who know the longevity plan. Even the concept of the Qinghai-Tibet Ning family no longer exists. Most people go out again to seek a life on their own, settle in a warmer and more developed place, and no longer have contact with the clan. Their offspring may not know themselves at all. His ancestors came from Qinghai-Tibet.
As for the clan, after entering modern society, the power of the clan has been greatly weakened. Once people relied on the clan because they needed to rely on the power of the clan, now people can live well without the clan, so the clan has gradually disappeared.
Therefore, even though the Qinghai-Tibet Ning Family still has some clansmen in Tibet, the connection between clansmen and clansmen is weakened, and the cohesion of clansmen tends to be zero. Except for the main branch whose population has declined, other branches are no longer aware of the existence of the Longevity Plan .
After listening to Ning Peiping's sorrowful recount, on the surface, I didn't change my face, but in fact nodded secretly, right, this is reasonable, this is the real modern society. How could a huge family stay on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for a ridiculous longevity plan, don't they want to eat or drink? This kind of gradual disappearance and loss of inheritance is the truth.
As for the remaining people, they are all lucky in the Qinghai-Tibet Ning family.
Because they are very different from the Wet Jiao Country, Southwest Baijia, Beijing Ningjia, Nanyang Ningjia, and Sichuan Fangxiangshi. Because of their ancestry, the Wet-Flood Kingdom and the Southwest Baijia had to stay together to keep warm, so the clan still had a relatively large control power, especially the Southwest Baijia. It can be predicted that after they are completely integrated into human society, the identity crisis disappears, and the Bai family clan will naturally collapse.
The Ningjia in Beijing is because of the two strongman teams of Ning Hanqing and Ningchuan. This is one aspect. After entering the modern society, Ningshan can use the mountain and river real estate to bind the interests of the people of the tribe. This is another aspect and a key point. Modern society is fascinating. If there is not enough benefit transfer, the tribe can live better. , Why others have been tied to a warship with you, call them to come and go, they have already moved south to move bricks and go north to dig coal.
Not to mention the Nanyang Ning Family, they also used interest to bind, but the family has no idea about the longevity plan, so it doesn't matter.
Sichuan Fang Xiangshi has broken away from the concept of clan, and the composition of gangs is heavier. In Hong Kong and Macao, it is not mentioned that they are mixed in society.
In short, on the one hand, the Qinghai-Tibet Ning family has lost the longevity plan as a call for faith. To be honest, this belief is very nonsense. No one in modern society will believe it. On the other hand, it cannot provide enough support and help to the people of the tribe, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is also a bitter cold. It would be weird not to leave the group, so it is their ability to say that they can survive to this day and find eight young people of the training generation to pick me up.
Ning Peiping was talking and drinking, "In fact, it's something that happened in the past 30 years. When everyone was suffering before, the tribesmen were able to survive, but the information transmission is getting faster and faster, and the tribes all see it. When we get to the outside world of Huahua, the traffic is so developed that many people will never go back."
Ning Peichun sighed, "This is reality.
Yes, this is reality. In the modern society of more efficient material production, transportation, and information transmission, and in the new century when material interests and spiritual civilization are surging, those who rely on the past society, clan, village, customs, crafts and even beliefs are all covered by one level. The weakening of the first layer, the concept of clan shrinks to relatives, the concept of village community shrinks to neighbors, and there is not much customs left. People prefer statutory holidays, and the loss of craftsmanship becomes material or intangible cultural heritage. As for beliefs, generally only that remains. The word that most people struggle for a lifetime.
It can't be said that this is a bad era. Things that should be eliminated let him be eliminated, it's just that there are some regrets. Therefore, the idiom that people's hearts are not ancient is always mentioned in every era, but there is nothing to do with it, because time is always flowing, and a new era will always come.
At this moment, I was very curious about the eight people in front of me, "What are you doing for a living now?"
Ning Peiping said: “Being a guide and a porter, there are many people who come to our side to travel or want to explore, and need indigenous people who are familiar with the terrain. There are still some people in our clan who are familiar with the terrain of the snow-capped mountains. They are resistant to luggage and equipment, so they can survive.";
";Then you will let your children be named according to their seniority in the future?"
Ning Peiping looked at me and said firmly: "I will give them two-character names like you in the future."
Ning Peichun continued: "I want them to go to university and live their own lives. I can't do a lifetime of hard work there like us."
This is a matter of reason. The Qingzang Ning family will soon be cut off from the Longevity Project, just like the Nanyang branch. But what should we do in Beijing
"Then why are you taking me to your side this time?"
Ning Peiping took a mouthful of food: "It's not a big deal, but the old people in the clan want to see you, and then take care of it, and we will live our lives in the future.";
Ning Peichun chuckled, "It's just that there are a lot of tourists now, and I can't make any money but I have to pay for it, so I feel angry." He added: "So it's not against you."
After a meal, the eight people drank a lot, and Ning Peiping and Ning Peichun talked more during the dinner. After eating, they said they had found a place to live, and they would look for me tomorrow.
Chongyang and I took a taxi back, and walked down the small road downstairs in the dark, "I used to think I was like the male protagonist in the novel, but now I discovered that this is still a real world."
Chongyang didn't say much. He understood what I meant. In this real world, no matter how much you have left over from history, you will eventually die out, whether it is the Ning family or the Bai family.
When I got home, I called Hu Qinan and talked about what happened today. He was not surprised. Obviously he knew that these people would come. But when they pretended to be robbers to test me, they were a little dumbfounded, but didn't say much. .
At this moment, I suddenly remembered one thing. Since these eight people are all seeking a living in Tibet, people, the Qingzangning family has almost no control over the longevity plan, then how did they know? You lied to me about Gu Tang? (End of this chapter)
