Oh, you want me to help rebuild the ancestral hall? That’s wishful thinking.
Song Shuqian smiled and said, "In this case, I'm afraid we can't fulfill the old man's last wish. We'll just take a stroll around the village and then leave."
After saying hello to them, Song Shuxi took her husband and children to visit the village.
The departure was very clean and without any delay.
As soon as they left, the room became lively, with several old people gathered together to discuss something.
"Second Grandfather, what do you think she came back for? I don't believe she came back just to pay respects. The old patriarch has been gone for many years. If she wanted to pay respects, she would have come back a long time ago."
"Did she know what the tribe left behind and wanted to come back to steal it?"
"No way. We hid those together. They are ours."
"Get rid of her."
After all, young people are not as patient as old people.
"What are you talking about? She said she came back to offer sacrifices, so she came back to offer sacrifices.
Look at the aura of that family and the people around them protecting them. How could they be interested in what we have? "
Another old man spoke up, “She has hardly been affected over the years.
When the old master of the family passed away, she married a soldier and joined the army.
The last time I inquired, I learned that her husband was only in his thirties and was already a teacher. So many years have passed, and I don’t know how high I have climbed.
The people who followed them were all from the army.
And she has several children, all of whom are outstanding. I am not afraid that they have ulterior motives, I am just afraid that they are simply paying homage to their ancestors.
Being able to get close to them would be of great benefit to the village. "
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise. She actually married so well.
"Has she not been affected at all over the years?"
Some people don't believe it, but she is the descendant of a true capitalist.
"It must have had some influence, otherwise she wouldn't have married a soldier. I heard he was a poor boy from the village.
But so what? She is not short of money. Our clan leader’s wife was not someone you would easily mess with when she was young.
This guy was raised by the clan leader's wife, how could he not have any means?
How many people did we send out to inquire about her in the early years and how many were killed?
The one who came today is her man. Look at his aura. What dare you do? "
"It seems to me that she doesn't want to have anything to do with us, why don't we just give in to her wishes?"
"That won't work. Haven't you heard that she is doing well now? If she is willing to help us, life in the village will be better."
Someone who understands asked, "Why should she help us?"
"She is the direct descendant!"
“Do you think she cares?
Don't forget, clans no longer exist. The county has stepped in to suppress us and has been trying to relocate outsiders here to divide us. "
"But she's different."
"What's the difference? Ask your sons and grandsons, who will take the clan seriously? These kids now have no idea what the clan once stood for."
The person who was asked fell silent. Yes, children nowadays only think about themselves. They don’t understand what it means to rise together and suffer together.
After discussing for a while, everyone agreed to try it again. If Song Shuxi didn't want to have anything to do with them, then there would be no involvement.
It was really those ten years that frightened them.
They dared not tell their children anything, for fear that the children, being too young, might say something they shouldn't and bring trouble to the family.
Later, when the children grew up, they dared to speak, but the children were no longer willing to listen.
These kids have minds of their own.
I think what the older generation said are nothing but old-fashioned ideas that are incompatible with today's rapidly changing times.
In the eyes of children, the older generation always follows the rules, is too conservative, and always uses past experience to restrict their hands and feet.
What can these old people do? They are their own children. They can’t bear to hit them, but scolding them won’t work.
On the other side, Song Shuxi and her family were strolling in the village. It was her first time here and she found everything new.
He even took the children to climb up the back mountain to overlook the entire village.
“It seems that our ancestors were really capable, and the location of this village was very well chosen.
You see, this village is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The mountains wind like a giant dragon, forming a natural barrier that stores wind and gathers energy, preventing blessings and wealth from leaking out.
The stream runs from west to east through the village. Water symbolizes wealth in Feng Shui, and the gurgling water implies an endless source of wealth.
Standing in the center of the village and looking into the distance, you can see a broad view and the flat terrain ahead, which indicates that the villagers' lives will be smooth and the future will be full of hope. "
The wife slave Wei Jianguo is never late in praising, "Wife, you also know Feng Shui, when did you learn it, how come I don't know it."
Song Shuqian was embarrassed. "I only know a little bit. I can tell whether the feng shui of a place built by others is good or not, but I don't know anything else.
There was a teacher in school who knew a lot about the Book of Changes. I found it interesting, so I learned a little from him and also read some books on the subject. "
The four children immediately offered their own praises.
My mother is really amazing. How can she understand this thing just by looking at it? This learning ability is better than any of the other four.
After looking around the village, Song Shuqian asked An An, "What do you think?"
"It seems that I overestimated their power. I underestimated the suppression of the village in those ten years. They were quite arrogant in the past, and they were often regarded as achievements in those ten years.
The reason why I don’t come to you is not because I have found what you thought was my thing, but because I don’t have the ability to find it.
They are already overwhelmed. "
Song Shuqian thought the same thing. "I really thought too much. This time it's just a formality.
But you can still choose some reliable people to use. It is said that a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Many elderly people in the village are well-educated, and the descendants they have taught should be useful.
If they are people with strong clan concepts, they will naturally like you and be very loyal to you. Of course, you need to judge these on your own, and there is a possibility of backlash.
As for the ancestral hall, Mom hopes you will repair it so that the villagers will be grateful to you.
But it's not in vain to help. I'm very interested in the family tree they have. "
An An asked, "Do you want to see how the family tree is written?"
“Yes, I am a woman, and women have not been included in family tree since ancient times.
In the early years, women were not qualified to enter the ancestral hall. The family tree has been deified, I really want to take a look at it. "
After hearing what Song Shuxi said, Lele, Yangyang and Yueyue also became interested. They had never seen it before.
Even Wei Jianguo was a little curious.
Song Shuqian continued, "My grandfather said that my father was expelled from the clan. This was a very serious punishment in their time, more serious than being beaten with dozens of sticks.
I am also curious about how it was removed. "
Song Shuxi never hid her life experience from her children, so they also knew about their grandfather.
After chatting for a while, the group returned to the place where they had just met.
