Chapter 546
Chen Zhengqian did not put on airs of a big boss in front of his relatives.

Among these people, I am the youngest.

Except for Chen Zhenghao, who is still immature, and his uncle's three-year-old son, he is the only man in this generation who can head the house. If he doesn't come out to support the scene, who will?
So I can only be busy, helping to greet guests, pouring tea and cutting fruits, etc., and I can't stop for a moment.

These are relatives of our own family and cannot be greeted by outsiders.

"Yanqing, go and wash the teacup, remember to wash it clean."

"Xiuqing, go to my house and pick a few catties of grapes, pick more grapes, wash them and bring them to my aunts and aunts to eat."

"Chen Zhenghao, are you idle and have nothing to do, what TV are you watching now, turn it off! Go and move out the chair for me, I need to use it later when I open the table."

Chen Zhengqian was very busy.

If it was him in the past, he might be bored to death, but at this moment, he actually feels like he is enjoying it.

Perhaps, this is the power of the clan.

As a member of the clan, he naturally has to do his part.

Of course, he has done so much, and the effect is obvious. At least aunts, aunts, cousins, and others, seeing Chen Zhengqian's dedication, felt very impressed, and all sighed:

"Chen Zhengqian was a smart kid when he was young, and he came first in every exam. Although he didn't do well in high school, but now it seems that it is not necessarily a bad thing. At least the current achievements are no longer comparable to ordinary people."

"I remember when he was young, he was still wearing crotch pants and peeing under the longan tree at the door, and he became so big in a blink of an eye."

"It's good to be promising, it's good to be promising..."

"The lineage of the Chen family has finally been honored by the ancestors for once, and there are some successors..."

Hearing this, Chen Zhengqian could only smile back.

The dark history of childhood, now being exposed in front of everyone, apart from being a little embarrassing, it seems that it is not a big deal.

In short, be ashamed and be ashamed, as long as everyone is happy.

As everyone sat together, they naturally mentioned another thing——

"Xiaoqian, do you have a girlfriend? If you find it, remember to bring it back for everyone to take a look at. Your grandfather is not young. Get married and have children early. It's a good thing for four generations to live together!"

"It should be, but I haven't heard Guowei talk about it, and I don't know the specific situation..."

"What's there to be shy about? You're not young anymore, your father has already given birth to you at his age!"

Everyone is still paying more attention to the important events in Chen Zhengqian's life. It seems that if Chen Zhengqian says no, he will introduce dozens of them every minute.

Chen Zhengqian could only hide his face and run away.

Even though his combat power is close to that of a Saiyan, he is still not enough to look at in front of this large group of gossip-loving aunts and six wives.

Besides, girlfriend or something, this question, hehe...

Chen Xiuqing picked the grapes, washed them, and cut them into small bunches with scissors, so that everyone could eat them.

In fact, the role of grapes is not just that they taste better than those sold outside. After all, they are produced by warehouse plants. After tasting them, Chen Zhengqian found that if they are eaten for a long time, they can greatly improve the human body.

Although the effect is not as good as flat peaches, it is not bad. Grapes are more seedy.

In rural areas, grapes symbolize many seeds and many blessings.

After everyone tasted it, they all said it was delicious, and then they praised it again. This little guy Chen Zhengqian can always get some good things, and he knows how to honor their elders.

Even my parents had a little more smile on their faces.

Before the table was opened, the village head Uncle Jiu asked Chen Zhengqian in private: "Xiaoqian, Uncle Jiu has something to discuss with you..."

"Uncle Jiu, tell me!" Chen Zhengqian was not sure what the old village chief meant, but he didn't care too much.

Uncle Jiu said directly, "Then I'll just say it straight. The last village meeting, everyone discussed and decided to revise the family tree. What do you think?"

"Replying the genealogy?" Chen Zhengqian pondered.

When it comes to genealogy, everyone may be familiar with it, but at the same time unfamiliar.

Familiarity is because this kind of thing occupies an important position in China, whether it is ancient or modern.Unfamiliarity is because ordinary people rarely come into contact with it, and many people have never seen it before.

Because genealogy is a special kind of document, which records the reproduction of a family's lineage and the deeds of important figures, it is generally kept by specialized personnel in the clan and is naturally inaccessible to ordinary people.

That is, when a child is born and needs to add a name to the family tree, the family tree will be taken out.

But when it comes to genealogy, Chen Zhengqian still has some impressions.

The village genealogy has been revised before.

Fortunately than those who lost their clans during the war years, because of the large population of the Chen clan in Nanyue, they can always find some clues to find their roots and ask their ancestors. This is how the genealogy was connected back then.

Although Chen Zhengqian's branch has not produced any big names in the eight generations of ancestors, but the ancestor of the main branch is well-known.

Yuhu Chen family.

One sect, two prime ministers, nine generations and eight grand masters!

In the fourth year of Qingli (1044) in the Song Dynasty, Lord Ren chose the victory of Yuhu to build a house and start the foundation. Since the fourth generation Zu Junqing was ranked second in the high school, he has been in the Qing Dynasty to the first assistant, and he became an official with the young Fu Wei Guogong.

The great favor of the country was given posthumously to three generations: the first ancestor Baoren gave it to Taishi Yi Guogong, the second ancestor Bagui gave it to Taishi Duke Yi, and the third ancestor Baoxian gave it to Taishi Yi Guogong.

The ancestor of the eighth generation, Duke Wenlong, the champion and the emperor, moved to the Privy Council and Shen Zhizhengshi (Deputy Prime Minister) to resist the death festival of the Yuan Dynasty.

After the festival of death, the imperial court issued a gift to Grand Master Zhongsu, and three generations later: the fifth patriarch Yu Qinshao presented it to Taishi Yongguo Gong, the sixth patriarch Yugun presented it to Taishi An Guogong, and the seventh patriarch Yuqin presented it to Taishi Rong Guogong.

This is the origin of "one family, two prime ministers, nine generations and eight grand masters".

The founder of Chen Zhengqian's lineage, Baogong, was born of Yichenggong, the eldest son of Menglingong, the concubine of Wenlonggonggong.

Chengwulang was awarded by Menglin, and Yicheng was once the general judge of Songjiang Prefecture. After the failure of the Anti-Yuan Dynasty, he went south with Song Huaizong, the last emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.

As the second son of Duke Yicheng, Chen Baogong, his elder brother Chen Zheng, and his younger brother Chen Jing were all officials in the county government. (Probably equivalent to the director of the Education Bureau today) Then it took root in Crane City and spread its branches and leaves.

Later, they were divided into several sub-houses, some crossed the sea to Qiongzhou, some went to the neighboring province of Guangxi, and some went abroad.

Chen Zhengqian and his family are deeply rooted in this remote rural area.

Although no one in the ancestors is an official anymore, the ancestral business is still there, until the generation of Chen Zhengqian's grandfather's grandfather, that is, the first ancestor of the four families and one lineage, they were still landlords and married two wives.

It's a pity that the war came and the family business was wiped out.

Chen Zhengqian's grandfather's father, also known as Chen Zhengqian's great-grandfather, was a lazy second-generation ancestor who passed away at a young age, leaving his great-grandmother alone to forcefully bring up five children.

In that famine era, a woman could do this without any courage.

Chen Zhengqian still has an impression of his great-grandmother. She would always leave one or two candies for him when he was a child. He also heard from her about the things about his ancestors.

When he was in third grade, his great-grandmother also passed away at the age of 85.

For three generations, their house has not produced a single scholar.

Only when Chen Zhengqian's generation catches up with a good era, can they have a chance to rise.

Of course, they didn't know that all of this was related to the big secret hidden in Chen Zhengqian's heart, and they thought it was really the blessing of the ancestors, the virtues of the ancestors, and the blessings of future generations.

After all, the ancestor Junqing said: "Pines and cypresses are planted in barren land, and poor children study."

As for Chen Zhengqian's rise, although it has little to do with the other three households in the village, at least it can gain some light, so everyone is thinking whether to repair the family tree again.

So, the matter came out from the village head.

In fact, the village chief is only a person in charge, and his seniority is not high enough to organize such a major event as the compilation of the family tree.The one who really took the lead was a great-granduncle in Chen Zhengqian's house. Even Chen Zhengqian's grandfather was called uncle.

"Creating the genealogy, of course I have no objection to this. What does Uncle Jiu need my help for?" Chen Zhengqian asked knowingly, and the need for repairing the genealogy is naturally money.

Whether it is organizing manpower, collecting various materials, traveling, etc., all of these require money.

Since Uncle Jiu came here by himself, then just follow his will.

Chen Zhengqian did have money, but he had to use it where it should be used.

Compiling the genealogy is not just a matter of their family, it concerns the entire clan. Even if Chen Zhengqian wants to bear it all by himself, others may not agree.

Even a symbolic charge to each household is better than nothing.

"Speaking of this, it is naturally a matter of money."

Speaking of this, Uncle Jiu himself felt embarrassed. Every time there was an important event in the village that needed money, Chen Zhengqian said that it was his duty to do so. If everyone developed this habit, it would not be a good sign.

Seeing that Chen Zhengqian was silent, Uncle Jiu quickly said: "Fortunately, the genealogy has been repaired once before, this time it is mainly to add some collateral lists, and to investigate the ancestors of our Chen family in Hecheng. Life stories, and the engraved stele for the Qingming Festival in the coming year."

There are many graves in the mountains and forests in the countryside. If you make a mistake by sweeping the tomb, you will lose the face of your ancestors, so the engraved stele is very necessary.

Chen Zhengqian thought for a while and said, "Naturally there is no problem with this. We all belong to our own clan. Who am I, Chen Zhengqian? It's not like you don't know anything about Uncle Nine. Where I should contribute, I will naturally contribute."

"If you say that, I'm relieved. If your family doesn't take the lead, it's really hard for me to ask other people for money." Uncle Jiu said with a smile, and he was very grateful to Chen Zhengqian in his heart.

As expected of someone who has gone to college. Although he is young, he understands things and is easy to talk to. This is much higher than others.

If Chen Zhengqian wanted to be the village head and bring benefits to everyone, Uncle Jiu would not hesitate to step down.

That's the benefit of fame.

Collecting money is no small matter. After all, in the countryside, trivial matters can be noisy, let alone collecting money.

But as long as someone starts, no matter how much others complain, they won't refuse.

Compiling the genealogy is a major event. In addition, one has to choose an auspicious day to worship the ancestors and tell the ancestors that someone in the future generations will shine on the lintel.

Naturally, Chen Zhengqian will also participate, and as an important person.

I experienced this kind of thing a lot when I was a child, but when I grow up, I don't participate in it less.

But this time at home, it’s okay to take part.

As for the youth association organized by the younger generation in the village, he refused to invite him to go.

To put it bluntly, this youth association is a mutual aid association deliberately set up by some people in order to fill their own pockets. There are not many places that can really help.

Mixing with them, Chen Zhengqian is not so boring yet.

After discussing with Uncle Jiu, the matter was decided in this way.

Dad secretly asked Chen Zhengqian: "Why is the village chief looking for you?"

Chen Zhengqian said: "The village plans to build a family tree and wants me to help, so I agreed."

Dad didn't say whether it's good or not, but he just told Chen Zhengqian to know what to do, and don't always act rashly.

It wasn't until four or five o'clock in the afternoon that the relatives were sent away one after another, and then they started to clean up the leftovers on the tables and chairs, etc., and prepared dinner.

It's just the effort to eat, and a big event happened in the village.

Chen Zhengqian was still sitting at grandma's house, and his father came up and said, "I heard that Chen Likun accidentally fell into the well."

"How is the person, have you been rescued?" Chen Zhengqian was startled and asked hastily.

But it’s better not to kill anyone.

Chen Likun was a neighbor in Chen Zhengqian's old house before, and it was a bit miserable to say it.

His mother was a bought Vietnamese daughter-in-law and had three children. His eldest sister married at the age of 15 and gave birth to a child. His second sister was taken away by his mother and she didn't even finish junior high school.

His father got cancer last year and passed away, and then his mother began to be a mistress for the contractor on the construction site.

But what was surprising was that the Vietnamese woman actually came back with money and helped Chen Likun build a three-story building, but it hadn't been decorated yet.

Chen Likun is actually not very old, probably less than 15 years old. In the third year of junior high school, he is the head of Chen Zhenghao and his children, and his grades are not very good.

Chen Zhengqian was actually not very familiar with him. His impression of him was that he always stood on the roof of the building when he was a child, admiringly watching himself write and read.

It's just that they are people around him after all, so when this kind of thing happened, it was natural to ask one more question.

It turned out that Chen Likun fell into the abandoned public well in the village, not far from his manor.

It's just that Chen Zhengqian was surprised that the well didn't have much water and the location was remote, so why did he go there?
Dad sighed and said, "Fortunately, Uncle Sheng was passing by, and when he heard the shout, he threw the rope down and asked him to hold him, so that he was rescued."

Chen Zhengqian frowned in puzzlement: "It's so good, why did it fall into the well?"

Unexpectedly, my father secretly said to Chen Zhengqian: "I heard that he encountered some unclean things, walked over in a daze, accidentally stepped on the air and fell down. He said it himself."

Chen Zhengqian was slightly taken aback. It was really against the law to say such words from his father's mouth.

What Chen Zhengqian didn't expect was that Chen Likun actually came to look for him the next morning.

"Brother Qian." Chen Likun stood at the door of Chen Zhengqian's house and shouted from afar.

"Chen Likun?"

Chen Zhengqian was surprised, why did he come to find him, and immediately waved to him: "Come in and sit down, what do you want me for?"

It's just that Chen Likun hesitated, but still didn't step in.

Chen Zhengqian had no choice but to stand up and walk over: "Okay, let's go out and talk."

Although he didn't know why Chen Likun came to him, Chen Zhengqian was still very curious about what happened to him yesterday, and planned to hear what he had to say.

Leaning against the wall next to the gate, Chen Likun was a little nervous, looked at Chen Zhengqian, and suddenly asked: "Brother Qian, do you believe that there are really ghosts in this world?"
