In fact, when they did this, they were quite controversial in the village. First of all, because of the money collection issue, each male in the village had to pay five yuan.

To be honest, Meiwangzhuang is not rich, the main thing is that there are no side jobs. Most people go to the city to work, and there are no factories to work in Linqing City recently. So although this five yuan is not much, many people still have toothaches.

However, Mei Changlin also had a solution. He first found a few old men with prestige in the village and explained to them the necessity of revising the family tree and the root search activities that are now popular among compatriots in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

If you meet a big money, the money will be huge! At that time, the initiators will be rich.

Even if you can't meet a wealthy man, there are still many people in the village. Each person costs five yuan, and these thousands of male members have several thousand investments.

The matter of continuing the genealogy is not much money, it is just a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The cost of some memorial ceremonies is enough.

Besides, each person who comes back from other places will be at least 200, and they will be deleted from the genealogy without paying the money. This is amazing. In the past few years, there are hundreds of people who have been out of the village one after another.

In addition, they are all scattered outside, so in total, there must be more people in the village today. Mei Changlin promised that as long as the person who helped him initiate this matter would be given a share.

This was amazing at once. As wealth moved people, the enthusiasm of several elderly people was mobilized at once.

They start with their children and grandchildren and ask them to sign up enthusiastically. Of course, they don’t need to pay the money. But they also have to do it, pay the money first, and then come back.

Under their leadership, the villagers quickly responded. The main reason was that the elderly were afraid of being removed from the genealogy by their children. Chinese people have a traditional concept, that is, the leaves return to their roots. If there is no name on the genealogy, then the roots will come?

The reason why I did this during the Chinese New Year was naturally because all the working people came back. Many of the families who moved to other places would come back to visit their families at this time. Soon this genealogy event started vigorously.

Of course, Mei Changlin and the others could not just copy the name again, but prepared three animals and carried out a large-scale sacrificial activity.

Although the ancestral hall is gone, the ancestral tomb is still there! However, few people have buried it there any more now. One reason is that the place is too small and there are too many branches, and they are willing to find a place by themselves.

These situations were naturally told by Mei Jinchai Ye and the others. Ye Yuze's eyes flashed brightly. He had an idea, but he naturally couldn't say it out at this time.

Soon, Mei Changlin and the other old men also rushed over. The main reason was that Mei Changan's family was coming.

Although I have no impression of Mei Changan for a long time, mainly because I am a teenager older than them, I still know the name. And I know that their family is in a big city and they come back to recognize their ancestors, how could such a person be let go easily?

On the way, they agreed that if they didn't make a 3,200-2,000-plus family, they would be in vain.

When we met, we saw the car parked at the entrance of the village committee. Several people looked at each other and looked at each other with a secret joy on their faces. Fat sheep! Then we pushed the door and entered the office.

Mei Jinchai introduced several people. Mei Changlin twisted the goatee and acted like a big shot. Just kidding, his current identity is equivalent to the patriarch of the past, but a person who can determine life and death. Therefore, no matter how well you are outside, you have to lie on the clan if you are lying on the tiger or dragon.

Meihua and his men naturally had to stand up and say hello. After all, they were from their father's generation, so they had to call them uncle.

Mei Changlin looked at the few people arrogantly and educated him unhappily: "I'm unfilial! I won't go home if I leave home. Ye Luo doesn't return to my roots. Your group is disobedient!"

Meihua's face changed. This sentence was simply heartbreaking, but what people said was too sharp to the point. She couldn't refute it.

"We don't know this place, nor do we regard it as a root. This is just my father's hometown. This time we came to fulfill our wishes. Therefore, it is not a disobedience."

As the eldest son in the family, my uncle has never spoken. It’s not because of his fear, but because of his identity. As a person in the system, this behavior has already violated some taboos.

At this moment, I was scolded again and again, and the anger in my heart could no longer be suppressed, so I naturally said it without hesitation.

"No, no. No. Whatever your identities are. But you are Chinese after all. No matter how brilliant you are outside, after your death, the loess in your hometown should be buried. People who are abroad travel thousands of miles to find their roots. Could it be that you are even busier in Tangcheng than others?"

"I am Chinese, and my job is to make the country prosperous and the people prosperous. I will never be entangled in the place where I am buried after I die."

My uncle was fully fired and full of domineeringness. He suddenly stopped Mei Changlin and the others. I wonder what to say?

Mei Jinchai quickly smoothed out the situation: "It seems that my brother, my family, should be a leader outside, right? But the clan naturally has some clan regulations, which you may not stand, but there is no need to be angry, right?"

His implication was: "Since you are so awesome, why are you going back to recognize your ancestors? Don't step into this village if you have the ability? No one invites you."

Meihua quickly interrupted: "Uncle Changlin, don't be angry, my brother has a bad temper. We came this time, but we didn't expect Ye Luo to return to our roots. We just wanted to fill in the family tree, which was a wish of my father. Of course, we won't come in vain, so we will naturally do something for the village. Do you see if there is anything we need to do?"

Mei Changlin was lucky, thinking about using what words to defeat this arrogant guy? As a result, his sister took the initiative to express her opinion, and it showed that she wanted to give money. Who can still have a grudge against her, right?

"That's it? But things are not that simple. The genealogy has been compiled, and you have no one at all. If you want to add it again, the whole thing will have to be modified. In addition, there will be a sacrifice to report to the ancestors and the ancestors about your return. This requires money!"

After Mei Changlin finished speaking, he continued to stroke his beard and looked at the plum blossoms. He had already seen that this group of people mainly focus on plum blossoms, so he had to make the difficulty more difficult and make it easier to say the price.

Meihua nodded quickly: "It should be, it should be, how much do you think these cost? Let's pay."

Mei Changlin nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it will be easier if you agree to this."

Then he pinched his fingers seriously and muttered, discussing with the old men who came with him from time to time, and finally said:
Chapter completed!
