Chapter 40

Chu Jiadong really didn't expect that he would separate his eldest son from his aunt, but his youngest daughter returned and killed her. When his aunt and grandmother dragged Chu Jiadong to the ancestral temple for discussion, Chu Jiadong collapsed. In fact, he wanted to sweep his father's grave and stroll around his hometown. Why did he stick with the ancestral temple?

Chujiadong has always been hard to get involved in the affairs of his hometown. The reason is that chujiadong's surname is Chu. It should be his second brother surnamed Hu. However, the other party is afraid to go back to the village, so the matter is complicated. He didn't pay much attention to the ancestral temple for many years. He just came back to have a look when repairing it, regardless of the organization and management.

Aunt and grandma wanted to cry and complain to Chu Jiadong: "my brother asked me to help Hu Laoer manage the ancestral temple before leaving. I have been conscientious and diligent. I think I should give it to your second brother in the future. How can she be so discredited..."

Chu Jiadong looked at the old man to wipe his face. He suddenly felt a big head and hurriedly said, "yes, don't cry. Let's go first."

Chu Jiadong dare not let his aunt and grandmother's mood fluctuate too much for fear that uncle Xiao and others will worry. After all, this is someone else's mother and is still on each other's territory.

Chu Jiadong wanted to stop talking and looked at cousin Xiao Xiao, but the other party easily waved his hand: "go, go, your old Hu family!"

Uncle obviously knows his mother's demon strength. His current state of mind is quite relaxed, which makes Chu Jiadong very helpless. Chu Jiadong would like to say that he is not surnamed Hu, but his aunt and grandmother have held his arm. Now he is difficult to ride a tiger.

Chu Xiaoyi and Xiao Bi followed. They had planned to go out to visit the tomb. Unexpectedly, there were twists and turns. Naturally, they were at a loss. Chu Xiaoyi simply asked the camera around him, "what's the matter?"

The program group is everywhere in the village, naturally Chu Xiaoyi and others. The staff asked for a moment with the walkie talkie and replied, "Xiao Xiao was making a blessing fruit in the ancestral temple and had a dispute with his aunt and grandmother."

Chu Xiaoyi: "to be a blessing fruit? How to do it?"

The staff asked the camera to check the material, and then collected the report: "she said she would do it in a 'ding' on the platform of the ancestral temple."

Chu Xiaoyi: "..." do you think it's a microwave hot meal?

Ancestral temple was originally the place where the family discussed business in the past, but with the change of times, more and more people left their hometown, and the village gradually became deserted. Before grandpa Xiao died, he felt that his sons would no longer return to their hometown, so he asked his aunt and grandmother to take care of the ancestral temple, and wrote other aunts and grandmothers in the genealogy.

Grandpa Xiao Xiao was the only male in his generation. When his father died, he was the head of the family. According to reason, uncle Xiao should be the next patriarch. Unfortunately, he died prematurely and only had a daughter. Uncle Xiao should take over the burden, but he was too frightened to go back to the village because DINK was entangled by his aunt and grandmother.

Chu Xiaoyi is right. Aunt and grandma really have no choice, otherwise she shouldn't find Chu Jiadong to judge.

In the past, my aunt and grandmother always asked grandpa Xiao Xiao for justice, but now they continue to ask Chu Jiadong for justice, but Chu Jiadong really doesn't have the confidence to hold down his little daughter. He hasn't defeated Chu Xiao in debate. He can also whisper that Chu Xiaoyi should be polite, but he dare not say that about his little daughter. She can turn people over with reason.

Chu Xiaoxiao won't leave a stain. She must have a complete logical chain to fight with you.

Sure enough, Chu Xiaoxiao was still sitting in the ancestral temple, and there were a group of nervous little girls behind her, but she looked calm and calm, leaning against the platform of the ancestral temple, as if Mount Tai had collapsed in front.

Chu Xiaoyi saw that his sister was in a big sister's formation. He gloated and watched the children fight the old lady from the other side. He may have been hated too hard by Chu Xiao at ordinary times. Now, seeing other people's bad luck, he suddenly came to the spirit.

Chu Jiadong sighed. On the way, he had heard the cry of his aunt and grandmother, but said, "Xiao Xiao, please explain what happened."

Chu Xiao and Xiao Zhenzhen said: "Xiaojie, they didn't have a blessing fruit yesterday. I think our ancestors also want to bless them, so we make a blessing fruit together and make up for the missing share yesterday. Although we didn't order incense, what's wrong with us seriously worshipping our ancestors?"

Chu Jiadong really didn't notice Xiaojie and others yesterday. At that time, there was a mess around. He remembered that Xiao Xiao didn't get the blessing fruit. Her aunt and grandmother shoddy, and Xiao Yi was angry. Because Chu Jiadong didn't know his relatives' children, he didn't find that the girls didn't. It just happened that Xiao didn't.

Chu Jiadong nodded: "there's nothing wrong?" the little daughter spoke very clearly. He really didn't find anything wrong.

Seeing that Chu Jiadong's combat power was so low that she couldn't sustain a round, she immediately said, "of course not! They broke the rules. How can they make their own blessing fruit? There are no formal ceremonies, which will only annoy their ancestors!"

Chu Xiao said calmly, "OK, please help us have a serious ceremony, and then give us the blessing fruit."

Chu Xiaoxiao was questioned about her production qualification, but she didn't become angry. She was an aunt and grandmother and an old rural woman. Where did she understand unfair competition and where did she break the law?

Chu Xiaoyi fanned the flames and said, "why ask your ancestors? Call my second uncle..."

Chu Xiaoyi couldn't wait to see his aunt and grandmother fall. He didn't believe that his second uncle could say that he valued sons over daughters. According to the rules, it was also the man who should take care of the ancestral temple. Naturally, he beat the rules with the rules and forced his aunt and grandmother to step down.

Aunt was attacked by her brother and sister and began to wipe her tears: "I can see that you just bullied me together. My brother asked me to take over the ancestral temple. I would have refused in every way, but now I give it back to second brother Hu..."

Hu's second brother is Xiao's second uncle. Chu Jiadong hurriedly said, "don't, don't, don't, that's not what I mean..." if his second brother wants to know about the unexpected disaster, he must be even more frightened of his hometown.

Chu Jiadong was dazed by the noise. Finally, he sighed deeply and presided over the situation and said, "I'll discuss it with my father later and give you an answer in the evening, okay?"

Chu Xiaoyi's face was confused. He really didn't know how his father would discuss with his grandfather. He was very frightened.

Chu Xiao said, "Dad, do you want to discuss with Grandpa?"

Chu Jiadong touched her little head and said, "yes, grandpa is not only the elder brother of aunt and grandmother, but also Xiao Xiao's grandfather. He must be the most fair."

Aunt and grandma heard Chu Jiadong mention her brother. She immediately stopped her tears and understood that they were going to visit the grave first. There was a brief war in the ancestral temple. Naturally, aunts and grandmothers could not question the rationality of the consultation between Chu Jiadong and grandpa Xiao. If Chu Jiadong couldn't talk to his father about sweeping the grave, wouldn't it mean that the ancestral temple ceremony didn't work? It was a slap in the face and didn't conform to the rules of aunts and grandmothers.

Aunt and grandmother's thought is a mixture of rationality and irrationality. There are countless contradictions, but they somehow form a balance.

The party took Chu Xiaoxiao to visit Grandpa's grave, and let Xiaojie and others go home. Chu Jiadong said that he would explain to his aunt and grandmother in the evening. He didn't scold his little daughter and didn't mention it again when he left the ancestral temple.

Grandpa Xiao's cemetery is located in the green mountains and rivers. They have been buried in their hometown for generations. This is also his last wish. The uphill road was very difficult. Chu Xiaoxiao arrived at the tombstone with her brother in the car. She bowed to Grandpa and offered incense. She said seriously, "Grandpa, I'm Chu Xiaoxiao."

Chu Xiaoyi looked at Grandpa's tombstone and thought of the past. He was a little empty in his heart. In his memory, grandpa is not a sleeping tombstone, but a warm and fresh old man, which is different from Chu Xiaoxiao's feeling.

The little girl didn't see her grandfather and didn't really touch death. After experiencing the ancestral temple, she began to believe that her voice could be heard by her ancestors, and she had to tell her aunt and grandmother in front of her grandfather's tomb.

Chu Xiaoxiao: anyway, aunts and grandmothers wipe tears in front of my father, and I want to sue her brother.

Chu Jiadong was silent in front of his father's tombstone. He cleaned the surroundings and wiped the ash off the tombstone himself without saying a word.

Chu Xiaoyi and Chu Xiaoxiao also helped. Xiao Bi looked at her children's heads and said with a smile, "you are blessed by grandpa. This is the ancestral shadow?"

Xiao Bi started to take off the leaves on Chu Xiaoxiao's head. Chu Xiaoyi touched the back of his head and found that he was also muddled with leaves on his head. There were no other people in the same trade, but the brother and sister rubbed it.

Chu Xiaoyi knows that this is a beautiful wish, but Chu Xiaoxiao firmly believes that Grandpa wants to preside over justice. Grandpa really thinks she is right and her aunt is wrong.

The party was about to return after sweeping the grave. Chu Xiaoyi saw his father squatting and said, "Dad, let's go?"

Chu Jiadong: "you go down first. I'll talk to your grandpa alone..."

Chu Xiaoyi is really confused. He always feels that the trend of things is becoming more and more strange. Can his father really discuss with his grandfather?

Chu Xiaoyi holds Chu Xiaoxiao and follows Xiao Bi and others down first. They walk slowly so that Chu Jiadong can keep up.

Chu Jiadong stayed alone in front of the tomb. Of course, he didn't have the ability to communicate with his dead father, but he guessed his father's psychology in countless memories. He didn't understand many of his father's practices before. When he got to this age, he gradually began to realize it.

Grandpa Xiao is a serious old man who is silent and not good at expression. He is even more strict with his sons. Chu Jiadong can only rely on his past to speculate on the slightest emotion revealed behind his father. After the birth of his grandchildren, Grandpa Xiao's character changed a lot, and Chu Jiadong became more able to understand his father.

Chu Jiadong: "Dad, I don't know whether I'm right or not. I can only guess blindly based on your past practice, but I don't think I'm wrong..."

"If you think it's OK, I'll tell my aunt, OK?"

In the quiet, a wisp of soft wind sent a fallen leaf, which happened to fall in front of Chu Jiadong. There was a trace of softness in his eyes and he whispered, "then I'll take it as your promise."

Chu Jiadong stood up. He finally glanced around his father's tomb and chased the large army that left first.

When the party returned to the small building of his cousin's house, Chu Jiadong proposed to talk to his aunt and grandmother after dinner, but did not let others in. Chu Xiaoxiao and Chu Xiaoyi are just scratching their hearts and lungs, but they are blocked outside the door and can't eavesdrop on the chat.

Chu Xiao blinked: "what did grandpa say to dad? Did grandpa support me?"

Chu Xiaoyi could not help Tucao's sister's idea, but he flickered Li Dao: "you let me look at the house, make complaints about the cameras?"

Director Li: "... Is this privacy among elders?"

Chu Xiaoyi: "your programs have exposed the privacy of my whole family. Now it's okay to mention privacy to me?"

Director Li was speechless for a moment, but he wanted to say that the broadcast content has also been screened and not everything has been released. However, Chu Xiaoyi's team has to review the film sooner or later. In addition, Chu Jiadong and his aunt and grandmother agreed to shoot at the beginning. It's really not impossible to see it in advance.

The staff set up a small TV for the brother and sister. Everyone nestled in the corner and ate melons silently, hoping to know the final result of the ancestral temple war. The program groups have signed confidentiality agreements. Although they can't say it outside, they can watch it secretly.

Chu Xiaoxiao was crowded in the middle by people in black. She thought, "it's such a feeling to be a person in black."

The editors and directors became familiar with her and joked: "do you want to be a director in the future?"

Chu Xiaoxiao: "no, it's a headache to meet a star like my brother."

Chu Xiaoyi: "... Why do you watch TV and talk so much?"

After Chu Jiadong entered the house, he first chatted with his aunt and grandmother about his daily life. It was nothing more than his health and the recent situation of his hometown. The content was quite boring. Aunt and grandma also mentioned the change of surname again and said that they wanted Chu Xiaoyi to change his name to Hu Xiaoyi. Of course, they were beaten by Chu Jiadong and interrupted other topics.

The two finally talked about Grandpa Xiao. Aunt and grandma were very enthusiastic and began to describe how good their relationship with their brother was. It seemed that they wanted to suggest that Chu Jiadong taught Chu Xiao.

Chu Jiadong simply clarified his business and solemnly said, "aunt, I've thought about it carefully these two days, and I'm going to go back and discuss with my second brother, and then add my aunt's daughter and granddaughter to the genealogy..."

Chu Jiadong didn't ask about the genealogy before. His surname was Chu and his name was not correct, but this time he felt he couldn't retreat.

Aunt and grandma hurriedly said, "how can I do that? It's against the rules. My brother asked me to help Hu Laoer manage the ancestral temple..."

Chu Jiadong: "in fact, my father didn't ask you to help my second brother manage, he meant to let you manage."

Aunt: "since I'm in charge, I want to..."

Chu Jiadong gently interrupted each other: "do you remember that my father didn't like fried noodles tea? At that time, everyone in the family loved it, only my father didn't like it?"

Aunt and grandma were stunned. She didn't know how to bring the topic here. She hurriedly said, "remember, everyone said that he was sick, his mouth was very picky, and she didn't eat flour tea."

Chu Jiadong: "in fact, my father likes fried noodles tea very much, but he dare not eat it. Because there was a shortage of food in the past, he said that once he got up to eat noodles tea. After eating, he knew that you walked a long mountain road early in the morning and took it home with a noodle can, but you didn't eat a mouthful..."

Chu Jiadong used to think that his father didn't like pasta, especially fried noodles tea. Later, when he saw his mother making fried noodles tea for Chu Xiaoyi and his father happily eating with him, he knew that the truth was not the case.

Flour was a scarce resource in the past. Only men at home could eat it. Even if aunts and grandmothers try their best to move it back, she can't eat a bite as a girl. Adults will only cook it for the only boy. If Grandpa Xiao is a insensitive and heartless boy, he may be able to enjoy his privileges with ease, but he is not.

He felt that he was not eating fried noodles tea, but eating the flesh and blood of his sisters and encroaching on their resources. From then on, he kept away from this kind of food. He may have engraved his sister's disappointed face in his mind. Even if she had been assimilated by old ideas later, he couldn't forget it.

Anyone can accuse aunt and grandmother of being wrong. Only grandpa Xiao can't do that. Because he was born to be the perpetrator, with guilt and conscience, but he could not change for a long time.

In the memory of her aunt and grandmother, her brother was the best person and often defended her against injustice, but he didn't give in on the issue of Chu Jiadong's surname. Grandpa Xiao didn't want to have a conflict with his sister. Later, he left with his family to avoid another conflict between the two sides. This is the only thing he can do.

Because grandpa Xiao is the only male and patriarch in the family, he should be responsible for all female relatives. Even if they marry outside and argue with their mother-in-law's family, he can't stand idly by. This is the price of robbing his sisters' resources. But at the same time, he urgently hopes that children can escape this rule and end the long-standing situation.

Chu Jiadong didn't understand this before. His father was not a person who could express himself directly, but he gradually reasoned and understood from clues. Grandpa Xiao Xiao once said that Chu Jiadong's name is good and bad because "Jiadong" represents high expectations, but "being the pillar of the family or family" is a very tired thing, which often makes people out of breath.

Chu Jiadong used to wonder why he gave himself a good and bad name, but it is estimated that this is a true portrayal of his father's complex mood. Grandpa Xiao could not escape from the family, but also subconsciously wanted to take a breath. Son preference is a persecution of women, and is it not a persecution of men with conscience?

Grandpa Xiao Xiao has been unable to get rid of his family responsibility for a long time. He must atone for his identity as an unconscious perpetrator, otherwise he will have an uneasy conscience.

Chu Jiadong: "I think my father asked my aunt to take charge of the ancestral temple and wrote several aunts in the genealogy before he left. He didn't ask you to take care of it for my second brother, but wanted to tell you that anyone can take care of it."

"Our brothers seldom come back now and are gradually unfamiliar with their hometown. If you and your cousin are still here, the roots of our family will still be there. As long as the family can reunite, it doesn't matter what their surname is, male or female." Chu Jiadong knows that he and his cousin still have feelings. It's even harder to say to Chu Xiaoyi and Chu Xiaoxiao's generation. It's uncertain that their blood is diluted and their feelings are weaker, It's not easy to gather people together. What about the so-called old rules?

"My father cried after eating fried noodle tea at home. He said he was choked by pepper, but I know it wasn't." Chu Jiadong said seriously, but his aunt and grandmother were in tears.

Seeing that his aunt and grandmother couldn't stop wiping tears, Chu Jiadong could only silently comfort the old man and listen to her crying and scolding her father's stupidity. She had been bound by old-fashioned ideas for a long time. At this time, she remembered a touch of young resentment. However, she gradually forgot it over the long years, but her brother didn't forget it.

She thought of her brother's good advice in the past, but she only thought it was his preference for his wife, and she never found out its true meaning.

Many past events are blurred by time. People always feel that they have forgotten them early, but they will suddenly think of them in a certain detail.

Chu Jiadong is not sure whether he interprets his father correctly, but he has done everything he can.

The next day, my aunt and grandmother got up early in the morning after crying. She was really a tough old lady. She was refreshed after waking up, and even offered incense to make a batch of blessing fruits.

Xiaojie and others were given a new blessing fruit, and even Chu Xiao got the second one. She took the big orange from her cousin and said curiously, "aunt and grandma don't mention the rules?"

My cousin smiled and said, "she said yesterday that she dreamed of your grandfather. Now she has found something new to do. She wants to record the children of other aunts and grandmothers in the genealogy."

This is really a huge task. You know, there are many grandchildren of aunts and grandmothers. Fortunately, aunts and grandmothers are very energetic and look high spirited. Chu Jiadong and his second brother really can't do it. They don't have such exuberant energy, let alone such a terrible sense of family responsibility.

Chu Xiao nodded. She was deeply convinced: "sure enough, grandpa is reliable, very efficient and better than dad."

Chu Xiaoyi frowned: "... Wait, isn't this our father's credit?" didn't Chu Jiadong put forward this matter and aunt and grandmother would change their mind a little?

Chu Xiaoxiao: "no, it must be grandpa's dream to persuade aunt and grandmother." she firmly believes that the dispute in the ancestral hall was heard by the ancestors, so Grandpa and ancestors talked to aunt and grandmother.

Chu Xiaoyi: "

Chu Xiaoxiao: "brother, you open a hot spot for me. I want to add Xiaojie's wechat..."

Chu Xiaoyi knew that Chu Xiaoxiao knew countless little friends one day. He couldn't help feeling that the children in the village had a good network. Now they can also have wechat. While opening wechat for Chu Xiaoxiao, he asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to add her? You can add it when you go back?"

Chu Xiaoxiao: "we need to discuss the sale of Fuguo. She said that she would record the detailed process in the morning, and then we can wholesale and mass produce."

Inspired by Chu Xiaoxiao, Xiaojie stared at her aunt and grandmother's operation in the morning. She was sure that there was no mistake in their next step and process, and she would certainly obtain production qualification. Although the little girls taste the blessing fruit and feel that it tastes like an orange, it is a blessing fruit after all. It must be different from other oranges.

Chu Xiaoyi: "??" are you still trying to break the market monopoly of aunt and grandma on Fuguo?
