Mushroom village has four big surnames. They are Hu, Peng, sun and Wang. These four surnames account for four fifths of the population of Mushutan. Chen, Han, Zhao, Ren, Zhou, Xu are all small surnames, accounting for the remaining one fifth. Among them, the surname Xu is the least, with a total of no more than a dozen people.
Over the years, the Xu family's New Year greetings have been the fastest. There are few people, the team is small, and we can walk fast. We can finish the task in half an hour and finish the new year.
As the largest surname in Mushutan, the Hu family takes more than an hour to complete their new year's worship. It has a large population and a large contingent. It's even slower, and the tour leader needs to go.
Hu Xiaolin returned home to celebrate the new year for his parents, and then hurried with his father to the courtyard at the entrance of the village.
Here, Hu Fangyin, the largest member of the Hu family, lives.
We should pay New Year's respects to the old man before we go to other homes.
Before the two of you entered, Hu Qigong, the current head of the Hu family, came up and said in a loud voice, "look, the pillar of our old Hu family is coming."
Hu Shuxiang said in a hurry, "Uncle Qigong, you have raised Xiaolin."
"Absolutely not." Hu Qigong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Lin has been mixed up. Our whole Hu family has followed him. If he wasn't the pillar, who else would be the pillar? "
"There is a man like Xiao Lin in Lao Hu's family. That's the virtue of our ancestors." The Hu family began to clamor. At present, Hu Xiaolin, the head of the clan, suggests that some people should be Ren Xiaolin.
"Be quiet, everyone." When Hu Xiaolin's voice fell, the crowd stopped. Arched his hand, Hu Xiaolin said seriously: "you uncles, you raise. We know Hu Xiaolin's temper and ability. If we want to get rich, we Hu Xiaolin should not give up. Who doubts our ability, we dare to be impatient. But let's forget about being the patriarch. We're not really the material. "
Hu Qigong picked his eyebrows and stepped back. He said with a smile, "Xiao Lin, it's ok if you are not the patriarch. Can you be an old man? The next generation of young people, you see the world. The others are a lot worse than you. "
After looking at his father Hu Shuxiang, Hu Xiaolin nodded and said, "if there is a need in the future, we should do our best. If there are suitable elders, don't choose us. " Then he grinned a few times.
"Just for that, we have to reserve a seat for you as a clan leader." When Hu Qigong finished, he let Hu Xiaolin walk in the front of the team.
"Lord Qigong, let's forget about it." Hu Xiaolin stepped back two steps and said solemnly, "count up, there are your grandfathers; count down, there are your uncles. No matter from which angle, it's not Hu Xiaolin's turn. "
"I really don't want to go forward?" Hu Qigong frowned.
Hu Xiaolin shook his head and said seriously: "it's not Hu Xiaolin's turn to talk with you, my lords and uncles. I admit that I have a good reputation in the village, but my experience is not as good as yours. "
This is not only respectable, but also gives the people enough face.
Looking at the serious Hu Xiaolin, Hu Shuxiang also laughed. The boy knows how to save face for his father.
Hu Qigong nodded, frowned and asked, "Xiao Lin, is it true that the new village will be built next year?"
"One spit, one nail." It's a quiet alley.
"Man!" Hu Qigong praised and then yelled: "no matter what Hu Xiaolin does in the future, as long as it is related to our family, we will make the decision for you! If someone dares to obstruct innocently, let's argue with him. "
This is not a joke!
As long as the patriarchs of the past dynasties say similar words, they will be like the pillars. If someone makes trouble in the clan, the light one will be punished, and the heavy one will be expelled from the clan.
For city dwellers, even if they leave their hometown, they may not die in another place. But for the people in the countryside, this is much more serious.
First of all, no matter good or bad, they can't get help from the family; second, they can't be buried in the family cemetery after death.
For the native villagers, this proves that they have been expelled from their families.
At that moment, all the clansmen cried out one after another: "no matter good or bad, we are willing to advance and retreat with Hu Xiaolin. Don't worry, patriarch. I will support your decision unconditionally. "
"Gentlemen, let's not say more." Hu Qigong, who was full of excitement, gave a compliment.
I had another chat. When Hu Qigong and other Hu family members came, he called out: "everyone stand up, let's go to pay New Year's greetings to the old man. Xiao Lin, go ahead. Don't get together with your peers. "
Standing at the back of the team, Hu Xiaolin, who was talking nonsense with his peers, said in a loud voice: "Qigong, the back is very good. Let our father be in front of us
"You don't give me face, son!" Hu Qigong roared angrily, then waved his hand to signal the team to move forward.
Entering the courtyard, Hu Qigong raised his fists, arched his hands to the right side, and yelled: "old man, I'll give you a new year's greeting!" With that, he landed on his left leg and followed with his right.
Hu family members also knelt down one after another and cried out: "good new year, old man."
"Good, good! Get up With the less loud laughter, an old man with a goatee, white hair and spirit came out of the hall, shouting: "Qigong, Shuxiang, where is our Xiaolin."Hu Xiaolin walked forward in a hurry and said, "good new year, old man. I wish you happiness and longevity. "
"Good!" Hu Fangyin praised, cleared his throat and cried: "Xiao Lin is a member of Lao Hu's family, and also the face of Lao Hu's family. Our Laohu family, with careful care, will develop sooner or later. In the future, no matter who it is, as long as we don't give Xiao Lin face, we won't give Lao Hu face. "
Hu Qinuo's family didn't even respond to his nonsense.
Hu Fangyin nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Xiao Lin, can you guarantee that no matter what you do in the future, our old Hu family will follow you?"
That's interesting!
If the explanation is not clear, there will inevitably be trouble in the future! Hu Xiaolin calmed down and said in a deep voice: "we can guarantee that we will all get rich with us. But I have to say that no matter what we do, our family can't follow us. "
Hu Fangyin frowned. Seeing that Hu Qigong didn't speak, he roared: "this can be done! Xiaolin, don't worry, go ahead boldly! As long as you don't earn money, no matter what you do, our family will support you. " With that, he also looked at the people whose faces were green and red.
Seeing Hu Fangyin's serious face, everyone nodded. Some also say that Hu Xiaolin is the only one who has the lead. No matter what he does, he should follow suit to see if he can make money.
After hearing this, Hu Qigong couldn't help shouting: "everyone pay attention to the propriety. Don't say three or two words without money, and don't feel like other people's jokes. "
