Chapter 32 The Prestige of a Clan Leader
There are currently 111 households in Shixiazigou Village, and there are still not many people in the village, but even fewer people with the surname Li, and there are only 47 households in total.
Although there are few people, the inheritance is still there.
The Li Family Ancestral Hall has been standing in the grove in the middle of the village for more than 300 years.
The closest to Li Family Ancestral Hall is the real Li Family’s main house. The Li Family’s main house is a large area, occupying more than one acre of land, with three entry and three exits.
Although it can be called a large household, the houses built inside are still adobe houses, but this adobe house is larger and more spectacular than other adobe houses in the village.
The Li family has lived in four generations of grandparents and grandchildren. The oldest man is the patriarch of the Li family, named Li Jinshui. He is 78 years old this year and is considered the oldest person in the village.
The bloodline of the Li family is not prosperous, and the four generations of ancestors and grandchildren are counted as a total of twelve people. Such a small number of people live in such a large courtyard, which seems very empty.
"Auntie Wu."
Li Demao led a group of people to knock on the door of the main house of the Li family and opened the door. Aunt Wu who came forward to speak for Li Mujin at the Dongtou Shuitang in the village today.
Aunt Wu was not a few years older than Li Demao and Li Dachun, but when they saw Wu, they immediately bowed respectfully.
"Grandma Wu."
The older ones finished the ceremony, but the younger ones naturally couldn't take it down. Li Mujin and Li Mufan immediately bowed respectfully.
After the ceremony was finished, Wu glanced at everyone at the door, moved the way away, and said, "Come in."
Aunt Wu is a sensible person. Seeing that these people are in a position, I guess it was because of the morning incident that came to find the old man in the house.
He didn't ask, but turned around and led the person into the yard.
"Uncle Li is so interested. Are you playing chess with his grandson?"
Everyone entered the yard, bypassed the main room that was used to discuss major events in the clan on the front yard, and came to the back yard. The main hall of the back yard was wide open, and an old man with a head almost white and a young man of seventeen or eighteen were sitting inside. The two were sitting at the table, holding black and white pieces in their hands playing chess.
As soon as he saw this scene, Li Demao walked over with a smile and greeted the old man politely.
The old man was frowning and thinking about where to play the next move, but suddenly he was interrupted. Not only did he not make trouble, he threw away the black man in his hand and stood up from the chair.
"It's so interesting. Ling Feng insisted on pulling me to play chess with him, but he couldn't persuade him. He played three games with him, but he lost three games. This kid really didn't leave any face for me."
Although Li Jinshui is seventy-eight years old this year, he is as energetic and physical as a young man. He stands there about 1.8 meters tall, with a majestic appearance as a clan.
He speaks carelessly and does not shy away from anything.
Li Demao was probably used to the way he spoke, and smiled at Li Lingfeng on the side, saying hello. Seeing that Li Jinshui was already sitting on the seat, he consciously sat under Li Jinshui, "Uncle Li said he was not interested. If he was not interested, how could he lose three sets in one go?"
"Haha, you kid, you are so slick, I can't tell you," Li Jinshui was stunned when he heard Li Demao's joke. When he reacted, he pointed at Li Demao and laughed, "Okay, tell me, what are you asking me for when you bring them here?"
Li Jinshui had long noticed the few people standing on the side. He knew all these people except that boy.
