When their daughters are in school, parents generally strictly forbid them from falling in love prematurely, especially during the two important stages of junior high school and high school, when they are strictly guarded against.

So, when Father Liu noticed that his daughter was a little abnormal today, he wondered if a male classmate had sent a love letter to his daughter!

Although Liu's mother thought it was unlikely, she thought about how her daughter was pretty and cute, and her academic performance was among the best in the class, so it was not surprising at all that some male classmates liked their daughter.

Regardless of whether it is a key middle school or not, there will always be some brave boys, so the husband's worries are justified.

Just when the couple was worried, their daughter Liu Xiaoye came back.

Father Liu asked immediately: "Xiao Ye, what happened?"

Liu Xiaoye looked at her father, who looked a little haggard, and her heart ached. On the way back, the tears she had been holding back for a long time suddenly burst out. She had not paid attention to these details before, but now that she thought about it, her father seemed to have aged a lot during this period of time. It seemed that she did not care enough about her father.

Seeing that Liu Xiaoye didn't say anything but tears were welling up in her eyes, Liu's father and mother felt nervous and asked her quickly what had happened and whether someone bullied her.

Liu Xiaoye wiped her tears, looked at her nervous parents, and said, "Dad, Mom, how long are you going to keep this secret from me?"

Father and mother Liu couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't expect their daughter to say such a thing.

Father Liu asked, "Xiao Ye, what do you mean by this?"

Liu Xiaoye sniffed and asked with concern: "Dad, how is your health? Why did you hide such a big thing from me?"

Upon hearing this, both Mr. and Mrs. Liu were shocked. They had been hiding this from their daughter, so how did she know about this?

Father Liu asked, "Xiao Ye, you know everything? Who told you?"

Liu Xiaoye said with red eyes: "Dad, Mom, I have been used to you quarreling and fighting every now and then since I was a child, but recently you haven't quarreled once, I know something must have happened!

Dad, don't ask me how I know this. How is your health now? What did the doctor say?

Father and Mother Liu suddenly realized what was going on. They didn't expect that there was a problem here. Their daughter's observation skills were quite strong.

Father Liu said, "Don't worry, Xiaoye, it's just a minor illness and it will be fine soon!"

"Dad, please stop hiding this from me. I know your condition is very serious."

At this point, Liu Xiaoye took out the business card Jiang Feng gave her, handed it to her father and said, "Dad, the phone number on the back of the business card is one of the most authoritative experts in a certain medical field in the country. You can call this expert and say that Master Jiang introduced you to me. He will do his best to help you with the treatment."

Father and Mother Liu were stunned.

Then, under the questioning of Liu's mother, Liu Xiaoye talked about how she went to the Happy Marriage Agency to find Master Jiang after school at noon today and asked him to help mediate her parents' marriage. She kept saying that Master Jiang made a phone call in front of her to ask for favors and helped her contact the most authoritative expert in the field.

After Liu Xiaoye finished speaking, Liu's father and mother looked at each other, their expressions filled with shock.

"Master Jiang is truly kind-hearted. No wonder so many people on the Internet speak well of him."

"Xiao Ye, you have really grown up. Such a big thing has happened, and mom and dad really shouldn't have kept it from you. No matter what the result is this time, you have done a great service to the family."

When Liu's mother got the business card, she wanted to call the expert immediately, but considering that the expert should be resting at that time, she resisted the urge to call.

The family of three waited until after two o'clock in the afternoon before Liu's father called the expert.

The result was undoubtedly gratifying. The expert was very polite to Liu's father and asked him to come to Zhonghai as soon as possible. He would give him a detailed examination and then formulate a treatment plan based on the results.

After hanging up the phone, Father Liu said to his daughter, "Xiao Ye, you can rest assured now, go to school quickly, you will be late soon!"

Liu Xiaoye nodded and said, "I understand, Mom and Dad, I will go to school first. Mom, please ask for leave from school as soon as possible, and then accompany Dad to Zhonghai for treatment. You don't have to worry about me. I'm old enough and can take care of myself."

Mother Liu hummed and said, "I will go to school to ask for leave soon, and I will go to Zhonghai for treatment with your father tomorrow at the latest."

"Okay, I'll go to school first. See you mom and dad!"

"Go ahead, and be safe on the road."

"knew!"

Watching their daughter leave the house, both Mr. and Mrs. Liu felt very relieved. Their daughter has really grown up!

Then, Liu's mother said seriously: "Old Liu, this precious treatment opportunity was fought for by our daughter for you. You must cooperate well and not give up on yourself like before, understand?"

Father Liu said: "I understand. This is my daughter's filial piety. No matter what the result is, I will actively cooperate with the treatment."

Mother Liu nodded and said, "Then you rest at home. I will go to the school to ask for leave from the leader. I will try to finish the work today and go to Zhonghai with you tomorrow."

"Well, go ahead!"

…

After the Spring Equinox, large-scale ancestor worship activities began again in Bailiang County.

Jiang Feng and his two siblings also returned to their hometown with their spouses and children to "clear the mountains" because the clan concept here is relatively strong. Throughout the year, you don't have to go back during other festivals including the Spring Festival, and no one will say anything to you.

However, every year when the mountain is being cleared, unless I really cannot leave due to work, I will rush back to participate no matter where I am.

The tombs in Bailiang County are generally divided into two types:

One is a white grave with a tombstone, and the other is an earth grave without a tombstone.

The white graves with tombstones (the author has no idea why these graves are called white graves. Perhaps it is because cement was not used in that era, and these graves were hardened with limestone. The whole grave is grayish white, so it is called white grave) are only treated as such by ancestors five generations ago.

White graves like this are also called Dazhong Mountain. Usually the clan organizes people to worship there, and the scene is quite sensational.

For example, they would carry a pig, a sheep, chickens, geese, ducks, candies, biscuits, fruits and other offerings, and then carry a big flag of their surname, and worship with gongs and drums along the way.

Especially when offering sacrifices to those more powerful ancestors, the scene is even more grand. The more promising people in the clan (officials or big bosses) will take the lead in the worship, strictly following the worship procedures of three kowtows and nine bows.

The other type of earthen tomb is not so particular. These are all ancestors within five generations. There is no need to beat drums or gongs, or carry a banner of the surname. As for carrying a pig or a sheep for worship, there is no need for that either.

Generally speaking, for a family four or five generations apart, a piece of pork, rice balls and some fruit can be enough to satisfy them.

Only when offering sacrifices to close relatives will chicken, duck, fish, meat, goose, etc. be prepared.

Jiang Feng is definitely the most powerful figure in the Jiang family in Qinghe Town now. Naturally, the elders in the family will invite him to take the lead in participating in the worship at Dazhong Mountain.

Taking the lead in worshiping ancestors is itself a reflection of one's status in the clan. Jiang Feng naturally would not refuse and readily agreed.

So, in the following week, Jiang Feng took the lead and joined other more promising members of the clan in worshiping their ancestors.

After paying homage to these ancestors, they will go with their family to pay homage to the ancestors within five generations.

This brother-in-law, Qu Wenhua, was coming to worship his wife's ancestors for the first time. Seeing the lively scene of the ancestor worship here, he couldn't help but sighed: "Xiao Feng, your ancestor worship activities are really grand. It's not like our Qingming Festival where we just burn some incense and paper money for our deceased relatives."

Jiang Feng said: "Generally speaking, places with strong clan values ​​pay more attention to this. Brother-in-law, your place is a big city, and clan values ​​are not strong. In fact, for various reasons, many people only know their ancestors within five generations, and they don't know the ancestors before that."

Qu Wenhua nodded and said, "Yes, if there is no family tree record, and it's not like you guys who worship every year, it's normal for them not to know their ancestors more than five generations ago."

Jiang Feng said: "In fact, this situation will be very common in the future. For example, people here, once they move to a big city to settle down, work and live there, they rarely come back because it is far from their hometown.

After living there for two or three generations, people basically don’t recognize their ancestors anymore.”

Qu Wenhua said: "That's the truth. Even if a person who has moved away from his hometown and his next generation still remember his hometown, the third and fourth generations have been born in big cities, so they naturally regard that city as their hometown.

As for where my grandfather and great-grandfather’s hometowns are, I might pay some attention to them, but I definitely don’t have much affection for them! ”

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Let's not talk about others, let's talk about me. If I am still alive, my descendants will definitely not forget my hometown and will come back often. But after a hundred years, the feelings of those younger generations towards their hometown will probably become more and more indifferent, and in the end, they may not even know where their ancestors came from."

Qu Wenhua said: "Don't worry about what will happen a hundred years later. As long as our descendants can continue to be upright Chinese, it won't be considered as forgetting our roots!"

Jiang Feng agreed and said: "Brother-in-law is right, as long as future generations can remember that they are Chinese, that's enough!"

…

After staying in their hometown for more than a week, Jiang Feng and others returned to the provincial capital.

As Jiang Feng directly and indirectly matches more and more clients, his influence in matchmaking is also growing. In particular, those clients from all over the world, after finding the right partner for themselves, spare no effort to praise Master Jiang, making Jiang Feng more and more famous.

As a result, more and more clients came to the Happy Marriage Agency to ask him to be their matchmaker.

Then, a virtuous circle is formed.

As more and more clients came to the agency, even though the agency already had more than 30 matchmakers, it was already a little overwhelmed.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng recruited another twenty matchmakers.

In today's matchmaking world, Xingfu Marriage Agency is not only the most well-known, but also undoubtedly the highest pay for matchmakers in the industry.

Therefore, Jiang Feng released the news that he wanted to recruit 20 matchmakers, and those matchmakers in the industry who received the news flocked to the interview.

Those who were favored by Jiang Feng were naturally very happy, as if they had won 5 million in the lottery. Those who were not favored were dejected, as if they had lost several million.

With the addition of these twenty matchmakers, the Happy Marriage Agency can operate at the fastest efficiency again.

Originally, the net profit of Xingfu Marriage Agency was as high as more than 20 million per month. After 20 new recruits joined, in less than three months, the net profit of the agency exceeded 30 million, making it a standout among all the matchmaking companies.

In addition to the increasingly prosperous matchmaking agency, there are more and more high-end clients asking Master Jiang to act as a matchmaker, because over the past two years or so, Jiang Feng has been gaining high-end connections, and through these connections, he has also gained a high status in the high-end circle.

No matter how powerful the second generation is, they have to give Jiang Feng some face.

In the entertainment industry, Master Jiang also has a very high influence. Those big stars who want to find a partner will prepare generous gifts and personally go to his house to ask for a matchmaker.

In short, Jiang Feng is either busy as a matchmaker or on his way to be a matchmaker every day, and he is very busy.

However, although he was a bit busy, Jiang Feng was still very happy when he saw his clients getting married one after another with the help of his help and then living a happy and sweet life.

He has made a contribution to society.

…

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was twenty years later.

On a high-speed train bound for the imperial capital, several energetic young men and women were introducing themselves:

"My name is Xu Jiaqi, a freshman at Imperial Capital Normal University. Nice to meet you all." The speaker, Xu Jiaqi, was a girl of average appearance. Perhaps because she was admitted to a school that satisfied her, her face was full of smiles as she introduced herself.

"My name is Chen Yaohua, a freshman at Imperial Capital University of Technology. I'm very happy to meet you all. Now that we have arrived in this new environment of Imperial Capital, we fellow countrymen should strengthen our contacts, help each other, and make progress together." While speaking, Chen Yaohua occasionally looked at the girl behind him on the left who was more beautiful than a star.

"My name is Li Haoran, a freshman at XX University in the capital..."

"My name is Zhang..."

After introducing themselves, several young men and women all looked at the most beautiful and elegant girl, wanting to know her name and what university she attended.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, the pretty girl smiled slightly, and then introduced herself gracefully: "My name is Jiang Wenyan, a freshman at Peking University, and I'm very happy to meet you all."

After listening to Jiang Wenyan’s self-introduction, everyone was silent for 1.56 seconds, and then suddenly, there was an explosion!

"Oh my god, so you are Jiang Wenyan? This year's top scorer in the liberal arts in our Guangxi Province?"

"I never expected that this year's top scorer in the liberal arts department of our Guangxi Province would be such a stunning beauty. She is truly both talented and beautiful!"

"Oh my god, if this news is made public, it will probably cause a commotion!"

"Isn't this probably the most beautiful number one scholar in our country's history?"

“…”

Not only the students, but also the parents who accompanied their children to register at school and other passengers in the carriage were amazed.
