Just as both sides were shouting for war, Chen Xia was driving a car with the old man Chen Defa in it and quietly heading to a place.
Chen Defa came to the United States specifically to cheer for his eldest grandson. After all, he is the chairman of the Four Seasons Group, and Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company is just a subsidiary of the group.
The big boss of the group showed up in person, which gave the news media the feeling that Hong Kong was really angry this time and wanted to have a good argument with Professor Marit.
But this time, Chen Xia called his great-grandfather all the way from Hong Kong for another purpose.
Xu Yuansheng's triplets are already 8 months old. Although the Xu family did not say anything and gave the children the surname Chen, as traditional Chinese people, the girl's family always hopes to get the boy's recognition.
It's about finding one's roots.
However, under the current conditions, it is impossible for the three little ones to go to Qingfeng Village to recognize their ancestors. After all, this relationship is immoral and against human ethics.
If it had been 100 years earlier, the rights of "wife" and "co-wife" would have been similar, and children could have been successfully included in the ancestral hall and family tree, but who says this is a new society?
So Chen Xia came up with a compromise plan, asking the great-grandfather to come forward and formally recognize the three children.
This is the recognition from the highest elder of the Chen family, which can comfort the Xu family to some extent.
In the car, old man Chen Defa looked at the scenery outside the window and sighed:
"Xiao Xia, look at the American countryside. Wow, it's so developed! They use fully mechanized farming. That's amazing."
Chen Xia also stretched his head to take a look:
"Hey, Grandpa, if nothing unexpected happens, all the land you see now belongs to our Chen family."
"Ah?! All of this belongs to us? When did you get such a large piece of land in the United States? Wow, how many acres is this?"
Chen Defa also came from the countryside and knew that in the rural areas of the Jiangnan region, a family with two or three acres of land was enough to support the whole family.
If someone has several hundred acres of land at home, he will be a famous "landlord" far and wide.
If a family owns thousands or tens of thousands of acres of land, it is extremely rare in the Jiangnan region. They can only be described as big landlords or big capitalists.
Even the bald Chiang Kai-shek had only more than 2,000 acres of land in Xikou, and his family had even less.
Land is the lifeblood of farmers.
As a result, when his eldest grandson came to the United States and told him that all the land within sight belonged to the Chen family, how could the old man not be surprised?
People who come from Hong Kong, with its narrow roads and houses the size of screw shells, cannot imagine that such vast tracts of land could be owned by one family.
Chen Xia said with a smile:
"Grandpa, with our family's current strength, how can we count by the acre? Here, you count by the acre. This and that, add up to more than 20,000 acres, or 80 square kilometers."
"Holy crap, it's so big? The entire Hong Kong Island is only 80 square kilometers. When did you buy so much land?"
There was joy in the old people's eyes. In the minds of their older generation, ten thousand taels of gold are not as good as a hundred acres of land.
Chen Xia didn't know what to say, because the only person who knew about the purchase of the farm in the United States was her aunt, but she only knew that there was such a thing, and she didn't know the specific amount.
Because the funds for purchasing the farm were taken from the account of the "Jade Fund", and this fund is currently separated from the Four Seasons Group and is Chen Xia's "small treasury".
"Grandpa, don't be in a hurry to see the farm. I'll introduce you to some kids later. You'll definitely be happy."
"kid?"
While old man Chen Defa was full of questions, the car turned into a magnificent country villa.
When Chen Xia helped the old man get out of the car, the old man took a few deep breaths. The air in Hong Kong really can't be compared with the countryside.
I heard the sound of a car and a tall, beautiful woman came out.
Seeing Chen Xia, he said in surprise: "You're here?"
Chen Xia also introduced with a smile: "Xu Yuan, this is my great-grandfather, the ancestor of our Chen family. Great-grandfather, her name is Xu Yuan, and she is also from our country."
Chen Defa greeted Xu Yuan with a smile.
The old man was not a fool, and he couldn't guess what play his eldest grandson was singing, but he knew that something would definitely happen today.
"Hey, where are the three little babies?"
"My mom is taking them to play in the garden. Now these three guys are so unruly. They just learned to crawl and they like to run around on the grass. They can't stay at home."
Chen Xia whispered in the old man's ear: "Let's go and see these little guys."
The old man's eyes began to sharpen...
In the garden.
Chen Defa looked at the three children crawling on the ground and always had a familiar feeling, especially the Chen family's iconic forehead.
The old man used to work in intelligence, and his analytical ability was his strong point. He immediately had a guess in his mind.
But I couldn’t believe it, because this eldest grandson seemed such an honest person.
Chen Xia also knew that he couldn't hide it from the old man, so he asked weakly, "Grandpa, have you guessed it?"
The old man didn't know what to say, he just walked over slowly, picked up one of them and looked at it carefully.
The child was not afraid of being picked up, but laughed at the old man.
Xu's mother, who was standing nearby, saw this and was about to ask, but Xu Yuan quickly whispered in her ear, "This is Chen Xia's grandfather."
When Xu's mother heard this, her eyes sparkled, and it was obvious that she also knew what this meant.
Chen Defa hugged one, then touched that, his smile gradually growing. Without even turning his head, he asked, "What are their names?"
Chen Xia held one of the babies in a very servile manner: "Chen Zijing, Chen Ziting, Chen Zishan, these are the names chosen by Leader Xu himself."
"Leader Xu? Which Leader Xu?"
"Of course it's the leaders of our Zhijiang Province."
The old man was obviously stunned for a moment, then he became thoughtful. Chen Xia thought he was angry, but the old man whispered in Chen Xia's ear:
"Good job, little brat!"
Now it was Chen Xia's turn to be stunned...
The old man came from the old society, where having three wives and four concubines was not uncommon. To him, it didn't matter who the children were from. What mattered was that he had to have many children and grandchildren, which would bring him great blessings.
Chen Xia now has three children in China and three children in the United States, five of whom are boys. The old man really wants to shout "Long live" three times.
Chen Defa stood up and walked to Xu's mother very politely:
"This is my mother-in-law, right? Hello, I'm Chen Xia's grandfather, and Chen Zijing and his great-grandfather..."
When Xu's mother heard this, she was so excited that she almost cried.
The last bit of unhappiness that weighed on her heart was finally relieved. The children's great-grandfather acknowledged their identities, which was actually a kind of recognition of their ancestors.
Chen Xia and Xu Yuan also held hands and shook them tightly.
