Chapter 849

Zhou Zhuo and Qian bin ate a lot of food, and they were almost fed up. "No, it's killing me."

After listening to Qian Bin's words, Xiao Zhang happily said, "today there are lantern riddles outside, and things for things. Do you want to have a look?"

"Yes, it's very lively outside. This year, I heard that there are juggling, shadow play and food exhibition." As she cleared the table, mother Zhang said, "swallow, take your friend out for a walk. By the way, go to see if your father is there."

Swallow is Comrade Zhang. Her original name is Zhang Yan. It's a very common name, but people are quite unusual.

Zhang Yan took Zhou Zhuo and Qian bin out of the yard and walked to the village square from the small stone road.

"Every year, there will be activities in our big square. It's very lively." Zhang Yan took them along and said, "we have lanterns on these roads at night. Look, these lanterns will be on at night."

"I can't see that the environment here is very good. There are many trees around, and the air is very good. " Qian bin looked around, and he imagined some of the countryside is not the same.

"Of course, every piece of land here is our own. We must protect the environment here. And we don't have a large population here. So, the environment we live in must be the best. " Zhang Yan said with pride.

Qian bin and Zhou Zhuo actually like it here, "by the way, Xiao Zhang, your father, but the patriarch here. But why is your name Zhang? "

Qian bin walked, some curious asked. "Besides, shouldn't all the people in your village be Yan?"

Zhang Yan took them through the stone road and came to the small fountain in front of the big square. From here, we can see that there are a lot of heads on the square. "In fact, our village is not all Yan now. In the past, our ancestors said that there were really no people with other surnames in the village. "

Zhang Yan suddenly stopped. Looking at Zhou Zhuo and Qian bin, they said slowly, "all the people in our village are relatives and friends. Even if they don't have the surname Yan, they are our Yan family wherever they go."

"For example, here is the third uncle, there is the eldest uncle, next to the sixth aunt, there is the second aunt. It's all our relatives who call and call. " Zhang Yan smiles.

"But the times are different now. Like our young people, we seldom take root in the village. Even if some people want to live in the village, their children may follow their mother's surname. "

"Or maybe we girls will marry someone with a different surname to come home. So slowly, there will be other surnames in the village, but it's still much less than Yan. "

"But it's not easy for your father, who is a stranger, to be the patriarch." Qian bin touched his chin and said seriously.

Ha ha ha ha, Zhang Yan suddenly laughed, "in fact, my father is a door-to-door son-in-law. Originally, I was born with the surname Yan, but now the society is very open, unlike in those years before, door-to-door son-in-law has to follow her family name."

"Thanks to my grandparents' open mind at that time, so after I was born, I followed my father's surname Zhang instead of my mother's surname Yan." Zhang Yan's explanation of her name came out.

"However, with more and more young people wandering outside, the vision and thinking of the village are very different from before. Moreover, my father was regarded as the son-in-law, so when my father was elected the patriarch, we didn't say anything."

Zhang Yan said and sat down beside the fountain. "In fact, it's just because my father is embarrassed. It's good and bad."

Zhang Yan breathed a long breath, "my father when the patriarch, because his identity is more embarrassing, so we all believe that he will not help anyone, so we will trust him."

"But just because of his embarrassing identity, there are still a lot of people who don't listen to my father. When they do things, they are always baffled by these people. There will be a lot of trouble. My father wants to get rid of this patriarch early in the morning, and he doesn't want to be a patriarch any more. "

In fact, I have known Zhang Yan for more than a month. Qian bin and Zhou Zhuo don't know much about Zhang Yan's family. After all, they only saw Zhang Yan and her little cousin shopping together in the supermarket last time, and they didn't see anyone else.

Moreover, several people sat together and talked about looking for he LianBo. They didn't hear Zhang Yan talk about his family. How can Qian bin and Zhou Zhuo, two big men, ask about the situation of girls' families?

This is the first time to hear Zhang Yan talk about his family. "Well, in fact, it's good to be improper. If my father said something wrong, there would be a lot less things, and he was not afraid to offend any family. But in the past three years, no one wants to be the patriarch. That's the headache for my father. "

"Shouldn't the patriarch be elected and not changed? How can you change the patriarch? " Qian bin is particularly curious. From his experience in watching TV dramas, clan leader is the head of a clan. How can he change it."In fact, the so-called patriarch here. It's the same as the village head. It's just a different name. It's also a selection system. As long as someone is willing to be the head of the clan, my father will definitely give it up. " Zhang Yan looked at the house not far away.

Before Zhou Zhuo said anything, Qian bin suddenly said, "such a good thing, your father doesn't want to be? Isn't this kind of patriarch supposed to have supreme rights? "

"You think too much. It's all played in TV series. Now we are not all Yan's family, so we discuss everything we do."

Zhou Zhuo found that no matter what Zhang Yan said to them, her eyes were fixed on the small western style building opposite the fountain. Zhou Zhuo looked around, as if the houses here were almost all buildings, and could see that the environment here was very good.

"Xiao Zhang, are you going to find your father?"

Zhou Zhuo saw through Zhang Yan's mind, and Zhang Yan's face turned red. "That's the third uncle's family now. But third uncle doesn't like to see me very much, so every time I look for my father, I have to wait outside. "

Zhang Yan's words immediately startled Qian bin and Zhou Zhuo. It's not just that people's thoughts here have changed a lot. How can they still have this idea of son preference now.

But Zhang Yan didn't know that Qian bin and Zhou Zhuo were wrong. The reason why she couldn't go in was not because she was a girl, but also because she had dug out her third uncle's loquat tree before.
