Crossing the green wheat ears

Chapter 141 Patriarch

After hearing what Li Waibo said, Xi Yuan and Wei Cheng were taken aback for a moment. Xi Mingwen and the old man in the main room heard it, and hurried into the room to ask what's the matter?

"I don't know what's going on. When they entered the house, they would look for the second young master. I wouldn't say anything when I asked." Li Waibo was honest, so he probably couldn't find anything from those people.

"It's okay, I'll go back and have a look, don't worry, it's probably not a big deal." Wei Cheng frowned.

"Shall I go with you?" Xiyuan carried the little girl from her lap to the kang, intending to wear her shoes and accompany Wei Cheng there.

"No, I can handle it myself, what are you doing with me, it's really annoying." Wei Cheng didn't wait for Xi Yuan, and walked out with Li Weibo.

"Then you go and come back quickly." Xiyuan was a little worried, and turned his head to look around. It's a pity that Xi Wei, the original little ear god in the family, has grown up now and is not at home. The little one is too young, and the little girl is charming It's not suitable to be squeamish, and I can't send an errand to inquire about it, so I can only sit at home and wait.

The old man and Xi Mingwen thought about it, but they didn't follow. Wei Cheng has set up his own household now, so it's not good for the Xi family to meddle in everything.

However, they all waited at home with a little restlessness, fearing that the surname Wei would have some bad thoughts again.

"It's okay, if Chengzi can't even figure out such a little thing now, the millet rice will be for nothing in the past few years." Seeing his grandfather and father's worried look, Xiyuan joked.

"But it's true." The old man knocked down the cigarette pot and put it on the window sill. He sat on the edge of the kang and didn't dare to take it with him, otherwise, if he didn't pay attention, he would be dragged away by two fat boys, black and white. Tao Boy didn't understand anything, he grabbed everything and stuffed it into his mouth. If he stuffed a cigarette pipe and pot in his mouth, some would cry.

Wei Cheng walked back to his courtyard in a few steps. There were six or seven men surnamed Wei sitting in the main room. The oldest and most prestigious one was an old man in his seventies who should be called Grandpa according to his seniority.

Seeing him come in, except for the two grandfathers who didn't move, the others stood up and greeted him, shouting, "Chengzi, are you back?"

Wei Cheng nodded, sat down on the chair, and greeted several people according to their seniority. Li crooked his neck, brought boiling water from the stove, took out the tea at home, brewed it, and poured a cup of tea for everyone.

A few people hurried to pick it up, don't look at Li Waibou as a long-term worker in Xi's family, the life of this long-term worker is better than most other families in the village, and many people want to get close to him.

Seeing Wei Cheng Da Ma Jin Dao sitting there, exuding an indescribable power all over his body, he couldn't say what he wanted to say, so he was a little timid.

"Grandpa, how are the preparations for the new year at home?" Wei Cheng first gave these people a sense of coercion, he couldn't let himself be led by the nose by these people, so at the beginning, there was a deterrent like getting off the horse, Seeing the uneasy looks of a few people now, the goal has been achieved, so he smiled and greeted the members of the Wei clan.

The few people who came here belonged to the surname of Wei in Lianhua Village. Wei Cheng didn't have any feelings for them. When he was beaten by Wei's second child when he raised his hand, scolded when he opened his mouth, and didn't have enough food or clothing, none of these people Stand up and speak for yourself.

Only one of them, Wei Shusen, secretly gave him two cornbreads. The others, including the old patriarch, did not express anything.

These people sat here, obviously looking for something, Wei Cheng was not in a hurry, gossiping without arrogance or impetuosity, waiting to see how they would be willing to talk to him with their old faces.

"Everything is ready, just wait for the Chinese New Year. Life in our village is much better than before." Mr. Wei took a sip of tea, looked at Wei Cheng and smiled, showing the love of the elders.

"Yeah, people in other villages envy our village very much. Once your second wife of my family returned to her mother's house, people in their village kept asking if there is any suitable girl in our Lianhua Village so that we can marry us." Due to the kindness of the two Wotou, Wei Cheng was kind and friendly when he met him in the village, so he was able to let go of his courage to talk to Wei Cheng.

"Yes, the young people in our village are all in demand now." The others echoed with a smile.

"Chengzi, grandpa is old, why do you have to work hard? Look, there are about a dozen households in our clan with the surname Wei." The grandpa thought about it.

"That's right, the patriarch has been worrying about us all his life, and he plans to live in peace when he gets old, but our surname Wei lacks a leader." Someone next to him answered.

As soon as the words came out, Wei Chengcheng understood what these people meant, smiled, and didn't answer.

Now most of the families in the village are doing well, except for a few.They are all those who are lazy and slippery, and refuse to live a good life.The old Li in the past couldn’t control them, these people could do whatever they wanted, sometimes they would harm other’s crops if they didn’t like it, or they would try to steal it when someone bought delicious food in winter.

However, they didn't dare now, Cheng Yi, who was like a plague god, was shaking, and these people became more honest.Cheng Yi let go of the harsh words, if anyone in the village is found to have engaged in such shady activities, once found out and confirmed, the whole family will be expelled from Lianhua Village.

No one dared to question the feasibility of Cheng Yi's words, he was a person who could say what he said.Besides, although the life of these few households is not good, it is better than other households in Lianhua Village, and even better than those in other villages.

How could these families be willing to leave Lianhua Village? The village doesn’t give them money, and the annual dividends are enough for them to eat and drink. Therefore, even if someone in the family wants to play tricks, other people will stop them and don’t want to follow suit.

Among these families, there are a few households with the surname Wei, of course, not all the people with the surname Wei.Because of Wei Cheng's relationship, Wei's second son's family and his elder brother's family are not well received by the villagers. Those who can earn money are seldom able to enjoy the incense, and life is inevitably a little tight.

The people in Lianhua Village know why life is easy in Lianhua Village. Li Zhengyi and the Xi family have a good relationship. If they are willing to take care of them and give them some of the money-making work in the village, they can improve their lives.

However, if you want to get in touch with these people in power, there really are no such people in their households. The patriarch, including the patriarch, felt that if they didn't improve their standard of living, the people surnamed Wei would become poor households in Lianhua Village in the future.

In this way, everyone counted up together, and it turned out that there was nothing to do. Now that Wei Cheng came back, although some people in the village murmured about Wei Cheng in private, saying that he had been away for a few years, but he hadn't made Ziwu Yinmao, and now he is nesting in Lianhua Village. Is a worthless.

However, the members of the Wei clan looked at it carefully. Wei Cheng's current power does not look like a down and out person. He is still very much valued, and has a good relationship with Cheng Juren, Li Zheng's son.

If Wei Cheng is willing to take care of their affairs, then he will be proud in the future, and if there is a good life, there will be no one in the village to do it, and it will be their turn in the end.

However, they know that there is no free lunch in this world. What was Wei Cheng like back then? up.

Therefore, it's useless to go to his own father, Wei's second child, and his uncle's family is also unpopular.

However, Wei Cheng's surname is Wei after all, and he can't write two characters of Wei in one stroke. Although the clan concept is not so serious in the North, it is not without it.If Wei Cheng was given enough meat and potatoes, he would still be so resolute if he didn't believe it.

Several families started counting since Wei Cheng came back, and now they ran to find Wei Cheng at the end of the year, which meant that the old patriarch could retire, so they all wanted Wei Cheng to be the patriarch.

If Wei Cheng accepts it, everything will be fine in the future.Even for the sake of his own face, it is impossible to let his clansmen go down and down.

It seems that these people still don't understand Wei Cheng. He can even give up such a rare fame and fortune, so how can he care about the position of a small patriarch?

After hearing those people's beaming speeches, Wei Cheng didn't respond lightly, picked up the teacup and drank the hot tea slowly, half-squinting his peach blossom eyes, deep and inexplicable.

"Chengzi, grandpa knows that you still can't get over this hurdle in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't bother to ignore the second child." The grandpa pondered and pondered, and then said with difficulty, "However, people have to look forward. You can't hold on to the past, but now, your brother Wei Xi is not bad, he can work with the family and do this and that, no matter how you say it, he is your real brother, and you have only one brother."

"Yeah, Chengzi, the second child is not living his life right now. He deserves whoever made him have an accident so that he didn't leave a way out for him. Two years ago, your elder sister also got married. I heard that she married Not good, I had a fight with my husband’s family today and quarreled tomorrow, and I will come back when I am in the middle of autumn. I heard that my mother-in-law and husband were beaten up, and I stayed at my mother’s house until Lao Dong’s family came to pick me up. It seems that I don’t take it very seriously. "The others said that they felt that Wei Cheng's family was so miserable that Wei Cheng could breathe a sigh of relief, so he didn't care about what happened back then.

……

They talked a lot, and looked at Wei Cheng with longing eyes. The so-called feng shui turns, but that's all.

Wei Cheng became impatient after listening for a while.

"Grandpa, I understand what you mean. As for me, after all, my surname is still Wei, so I will explain to you young and old, if there is anything wrong with our surname Wei in the future, if there is any embarrassment, just ask me , as long as I can help, I will definitely not refuse." Wei Cheng looked at everyone and said.

"Then, Chengzi..." The old patriarch didn't ask all the questions. Although Wei Cheng's words were open and clear, everyone understood the meaning. As the patriarch, it's only natural to come to you for something. It depends on your mood, if you want to help, you can help.

"Grandpa, I still can't take the position of patriarch. You see, I just came back and don't know much about the situation in the village. Besides, I have a lot of things to do and I don't have that much free time. Let's take a look and choose one." It would be more appropriate." Wei Cheng made it clear that although his words were tactful, his tone was unquestionable.

Later, no matter what other people said, Wei Cheng didn't let go, so he was too lazy to waste energy on these people and these things.

After dismissing the clansmen, Wei Cheng walked around in his own yard, and then returned to the main room of the west family. The family members were waiting, so he had to tell them so that they would not worry about it.
