It is said that the son's father is the patriarch of a wealthy family

What was Yuan Bao doing during the period when Li Mu went to pick up Zhang Yi? Yuan Bao had never had the idea of ​​going abroad before, so he had no idea that his father would go abroad for a long, long time, so on the first day Li Mu went abroad, he behaved fairly. Normal, very good.

In the morning, after Yuan Bao woke up, he obediently put on his small clothes, and then went to the restaurant to have breakfast accompanied by Uncle Zhong. After breakfast, he took the two Zhang family descendants that Li Mu received to play with the children in the ethnology.

At this time, Dong Hanwu was no longer by Yuan Bao's side, and the Zhongyuan Festival in the lunar calendar was very close to September in the Gregorian calendar, so he also left the country on the second day after Li Mu went abroad, but it was Zhang who went abroad. He has to deal with some school affairs and then return to China, because he is now with Yuanbao, and he is no longer suitable for studying abroad, so after finishing the affairs, he will transfer to a well-known domestic university as an exchange student. University, continue to complete their studies.

On the one hand, he made such a decision because domestic holidays are relatively concentrated, which is conducive to him growing up with Yuanbao. On the other hand, he was born abroad and has been studying abroad. There is no need, so, taking this opportunity to go back to China to feel the essence of the country's culture is what every Chinese descendant should do.

Therefore, after Dong Hanwu went abroad, the people who followed Yuanbao were replaced by the descendants of the Zhang family.

Yuan Bao didn't object to changing people to follow, but he wasn't as kind to Dong Hanwu either.

Time passed day by day. Three days after Li Mu left the country, Yuan Bao couldn't sit still. He deliberately ran to Uncle Zhong and asked, "Grandpa Zhong, when will the fathers come back? I have been waiting for three days. Why am I still waiting?" Is it so difficult to swim without seeing them? If so, can the fathers not go abroad in the future?" While talking, he counted three chubby fingers and showed them to Uncle Zhong to prove that he remembered correctly evidence of.

Looking at Yuan Bao's flickering big eyes, Uncle Zhong, who squatted down, understood the meaning of the child's going abroad, he thought about it before answering: "Young master, it's too far abroad, let's wait for the patriarch and the others, okay? "Facing the child's question, he knew that the child missed Li Mu and Zhang Yi, but the patriarch has not sent any news back, and he doesn't know how long he will have to wait before seeing them.

In order not to disappoint the child even more, he dared not promise anything easily.

Hearing Uncle Zhong's explanation, Yuan Bao frowned, and then said compromisingly, "Then can I have a video with my father?" He knows how to use his mobile phone, and he and Li Mu have also made a video with Zhang Yi before, but He doesn't have a smartphone himself, so he can only apply to Uncle Zhong, which is one of the reasons why he went to Uncle Zhong today.

Hearing that the child wanted to make a video call with Li Mu, Uncle Zhong immediately took out his mobile phone and called.

A busy tone appeared in the living room, and then there was a notification that he could not be connected. Uncle Zhong looked at Yuan Bao helplessly, not knowing how to tell the child this cruel fact. Signal still encountered some new situation. In fact, his heart was also suffering, because not only Zhang Yi disappeared, but also his only son Liu Zhen disappeared along with him.

The phone was on hands-free, and after a burst of mechanical electronic sounds, there was no voice from Li Mu or Zhang Yi. Yuan Bao, who was slightly tilting his head up, suddenly became a little anxious. He blinked and looked at Zhong Zhong eagerly. Uncle, until there was no more sound from the phone.

Uncle Zhong looked at Yuan Bao who was full of expectation, showed a gentle smile, and then dialed again. A second later, the repetitive mechanical sound sounded again.

At this point, Yuan Bao couldn't bear it any longer. He asked suspiciously, "Grandfather Loyal, why don't the fathers answer the phone? Yuan Bao is very obedient at home." After speaking, a sad look appeared on the big fat face. look.

Facing the sad little Yuanbao, Uncle Zhong felt bitter. He didn't want to let the child down, and it was considered very good that the child could bear to ask this question until today, so he quickly comforted: "Maybe your father I just didn't have time to answer the phone, shall we wait a little longer? They will come back later."

"How long do we have to wait?" Yuan Bao showed a disappointed look.

Uncle Zhong thought about it, and there are still more than ten days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. This festival is a festival of reunion. Although the Zhang family will not hold a big event, the family members who live on the island will still go to the ancestral hall to worship on that day Yes, thinking that in the past ten days or so, Li Mu and the others might finish dealing with the South African business, Yu gritted his teeth and replied, "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, your fathers will be able to go home and accompany our little Yuanbao."

"When is the Mid-Autumn Festival?" For a three-year-old child, he still doesn't know how to count these festivals, so he asked.

Zhong Bo paused, and said the specific number of days, and he was afraid that the child would count on his fingers every day. If he didn't specify the specific time, even if Li Mu and the others really couldn't make it back on the Mid-Autumn Festival, they wouldn't disappoint the child, so he said : "The Mid-Autumn Festival is the time to open the ancestral hall again to worship the ancestors. The ancestral hall is the house where the ancestral spirit tablet is placed. When the gate there is opened again, your fathers will come back."

"Worship Zuzu!"

"Yes." Uncle Zhong confirmed with a smile.

Yuan Bao rolled his bright eyes, smacked his lips, and reluctantly replied: "Okay then, I'll wait for the fathers at home." A small handprint can be regarded as the meaning of what you say.

Facing the innocent and lovely Yuan Bao, Uncle Zhong almost laughed out loud, so he solemnly pressed his thumb against the little finger of the child, as proof that he kept his word.

Yuan Bao, who got the stamped promise, was satisfied, he said thank you, and obediently followed Uncle Zhong upstairs. It will be time for him to take a nap, and it's time for him to take a nap.

After the child lay down, breathed and fell asleep, Uncle Zhong went downstairs. Since Li Mu went abroad, some matters concerning the patriarch's wife have fallen on his head, so while taking care of Yuan Bao, he also had to take care of the family members of the Zhang family. Things about the back house, fortunately, these things were taken care of by Li Mu before he entered Zhang's house, so it's no stranger to take over at this time.

After Uncle Zhong went downstairs for a while, Yuan Bao, who was lying on the bed and sleeping, suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up. He opened his eyes wide and looked around the bedroom. After seeing no one, he patted his chest and vomited. She stuck out her cute little tongue, then picked up the clothes on the bedside table and put them on. After putting on the clothes, shoes and socks, she opened the door and went out.

Zhang Hongfei and Zhang Hongwen were standing on both sides outside the bedroom door. These two were the two younger generations of the Zhang family who were following Li Mu. At this moment, they were temporarily following Yuan Bao. When they saw Yuan Bao, they were all happy Called a little uncle.

Yuan Bao nodded with a serious face, shook his little hands, and walked downstairs skillfully on his chubby legs. Seeing this, Zhang Hongfei and the two immediately followed. It took a long time, so he didn't think too much, and followed Yuan Bao downstairs as usual.

The servants downstairs all bowed respectfully after seeing Yuan Bao, and then stepped aside.

Yuan Bao walked out of the gate of the villa openly during his nap time, and as soon as he stepped out of the gate, he strode vigorously up the mountain with two chubby legs, looking at the direction, it should be the location of the ethnology.

"Little uncle, are you going to the ethnology school to play with the children? But they are still resting at home, should we notify them in advance?" Zhang Hongfei, who was following behind Yuan Bao, couldn't help asking curiously.

"Don't play, I have something to do." Yuan Bao's two chubby legs were moving quite quickly.

What can a three-year-old do?Isn't it just for fun? Zhang Hongfei and Zhang Hongwen looked at each other and could only follow.

blah blah blah...

Ten minutes later, Yuan Bao finally arrived at the gate of the ancestral hall halfway up the mountain, sweating profusely. He looked up at the plaque on the door, which read: Zhang Family Ancestral Hall!It's a pity that he doesn't know a word, but he knows that this is the place to worship Zuzu.

After looking at it for a while, after the sweat dripped off his face and asked Zhang Hongfei to wipe his hands and face clean, Yuan Bao stretched out his chubby hand and pushed towards the heavy gate of the ancestral hall.

"stop!"

Two strong hands on the left and one right stood in front of Yuan Bao. This was the Zhang family guarding the ancestral hall. The ancestral hall needed to be guarded. The ancestral hall needed to be guarded on a weekly basis. Four people took turns guarding the day and night every day. People are all selected from the direct branch of the Zhang family on the island, so everyone knows each other.

In fact, the two guardians of the ancestral hall noticed it as early as Yuan Bao appeared in the square. However, they didn't know what the child was going to do, so they kept silent, but they didn't expect the child to be so courageous and wanted to push the family away The gate of the shrine.

The door of the ancestral hall cannot be said to be absolutely forbidden to be opened at ordinary times. However, the people who can open the ancestral hall are generally important figures in the family. People were stunned.

Yuan Bao, who was blocked from his way forward, was very puzzled. He looked at the two guards at the door, tilted his head, and asked, "I want to see Zuzu, why are you stopping me?"

Look at Zuzu, what a fair and honest reason, and what a righteous excuse.

The two guarding the gate of the ancestral hall were speechless for a moment, yes, why can't they visit their ancestors? It seems that it didn't say that children can't visit their ancestors, and more importantly, the family rules didn't clearly stipulate that the Zhang family's direct branch You can't enter the ancestral hall in normal times!

Seeing that the two of them did not speak, Yuan Bao nodded in satisfaction, then avoided his broad palm, and with all his strength, the door was pushed open with a creaking sound, and the words "Long Famous and Eternal" on the plaque in the outer courtyard were immediately reflected eye.

The door is open!

The two guards at the door looked at each other, not knowing what to do next. They said to block it, as if there was no such rule in the family rules, and said to let it go, it seemed that they had no such right.

Just when the two were hesitating, Yuan Bao climbed over the high threshold and walked in.

Zhang Hongfei and Zhang Hongwen, who came with Yuan Bao, also stared at the scene in front of them with dumbfounded eyes. They thought that the child came to the ethnology school to play with the children, but who knew it was not, now that the child has entered the ancestral hall, what should we do?Glancing at each other, they both saw the meaning of not daring to enter in each other's eyes.

Not reporting what is known is a big deal.

The guardian of the ancestral hall and Zhang Hongfei looked at each other for a long time, and then they each took out their mobile phones to make a call, calling for help!There is only Yuan Bao in the ancestral hall now, who knows what he is doing in there, whether he will be hit by something, and they can't go in easily, so they can only find qualified people.

When receiving the call from Zhang Hongfei, Uncle Zhong was startled, and immediately thought of what he had said to Yuan Bao before. The gate of the ancestral hall was opened, and Zhang Yi and the others would be able to come back. It is estimated that the child really listened to it, not only seriously, but also I couldn't wait, so I sneaked away without sleeping and ran to open the gate of the ancestral hall, thinking that I could see the figures of the two fathers in this way.

Thinking of this, Uncle Zhong was both relieved and sad.

He hurriedly explained a few words to the servant and rushed to the ancestral hall. At this time, more and more people began to gather at the gate of the ancestral hall.

Originally, there were not so many people, but the island is so big. Whenever there is any news, it will fly all over the sky as if it has grown wings. Because it is not an important matter, the news will not be blocked, but after a while, It was spread all over the island, and those who got the news rushed to the ancestral hall quickly, so when Uncle Zhong arrived at the ancestral hall, there were already many people eating melon seeds and chatting at the door.

There are even people betting.

The bet is of course a bet on whether Yuan Bao will be punished for opening the gate of the ancestral hall without authorization.

However, it is still hard to draw a conclusion on this matter now. After all, the family rules did not specify that the descendants of the family cannot open the gate of the ancestral hall. But, such a thing has never happened before. It is really hard to say how to make a conclusion, so With the master who is not too serious to watch the excitement, he started this gamble. This kind of gamble is to bet on the luck of the ingot. Therefore, some clan elders who rushed to the ancestral hall did not stop it.

Now that the game is open, there will be bets on whether to punish or not to punish.

As for the betting crowd, there is also an interesting phenomenon. Those who buy ingots will be punished are generally young people from the Zhang family, while those who will not be punished for buying ingots are almost all the little kids on the island, that is, the ingots. Followers, of course, such mature and stable adults will not participate in such a game, they just wait to see the overall excitement.

Uncle Zhong can’t go in after he arrives. First, because he has a foreign surname. Only the Zhang family can enter the ancestral hall of the Zhang family. There is a reason, that is, the elders of the rich family and the second master of the Zhang family who is currently sitting on the island have not yet arrived.

Regarding Erye's return to the island this time, the Zhang family has some guesses, but no one guesses on the negative side, because Erye often appears inexplicably and disappears inexplicably, but one thing is certain, that That is, when the second master appeared, it was usually when the patriarch was not at the headquarters, and Zhang Yi had gone on a business trip abroad before. This situation was justified, so after the second master came to the island, everything was as stable as a rock.

When everyone is gathered outside the ancestral hall, what is Yuan Bao doing?He was talking to the ancestors of the Zhang family.

Originally, he didn't want to come to the ancestral hall, but what Uncle Zhong said today reminded him, so he wanted to open the door to see if the fathers could come back so soon.

After opening the door, he wanted to come in to see the ancestors, so he came in.

Zhang's ancestral hall is still majestic and majestic, with a simple and simple style everywhere. At this time, the outer courtyard and inner courtyard are quiet, there is no sound at all, of course, there is no one, are you afraid?Of course not.

Yuan Bao has been courageous since he was a child. He had come to the ancestral hall with Zhang Yi and others to worship his ancestors before, and he was quite familiar with the environment here. Therefore, after entering the door, he climbed over one tall threshold after another and walked in. The hall of the room of the spiritual place.

The Zhang family has been passed down from generation to generation, and the recorded genealogy has existed for thousands of years. There are many spiritual places accumulated over the thousands of years. In a room of more than 500 square meters, the most famous ancestors are hung on the wall, and the table is full of yellow offerings. The names of the spirit cards represent the ancestors of the Zhang family. These ancestors created the future of the family, and they are also enjoying the family's worship at this time.

There was a row of big futons in front of the long altar, Yuan Bao picked the middle futon and dragged it back, he sat down after seeing most of the portraits of ancestors on the wall.

It seems a little different on this serious occasion!

Of course it is different. At this time, Yuan Bao is sitting cross-legged on the futon. He rests his chin on his hands and looks up at the portraits on the wall. Like lying down.

After posing properly, Yuan Bao began to talk to the ancestors.

He complained to the various images on the wall, he was wronged, the two fathers were not at home, he had been waiting at home for three days, three days, every day he ate and slept according to his father's instructions, and then he was obedient Listen to Grandpa Zhong's words, but he is so obedient, the fathers haven't come back yet, don't they miss Yuanbao at all?

So Yuan Bao seemed to be doing homework, muttering about everything he thought of, without a complete logical concept, anyway, he was just talking about a bunch of grievances in his stomach, a bunch of unhappy ancestors who couldn't talk, especially When it came to his father not coming back to see him, he was so wronged that he almost cried.

The more I talk about it, the more I miss my fathers, the more I talk about it, the more I am wronged, and at the same time I am very sleepy...

The rich family always came to the ancestral hall with the second master of the Zhang family. They had a meeting in the ancestral hall in the morning. When they heard that Yuanbao had opened it, they were a little curious, so the two people who met on the road received the news Just came together.

For the child Yuan Bao, whether it is the elder of the rich family or Zhang Jing, they all like it very much. This is Zhang Yi's only child at present. It's really cute.

In fact, Zhang Jing met Yuan Bao the day he returned to the island, so he is not unfamiliar with the child Yuan Bao, but there are many things in the Zhang family and the Zhang Group, and he has no extra time to get along with the child, which is regrettable At that time, people came to report that Yuan Bao had opened the ancestral hall privately. Of course, he would come forward for such a big event.

Moreover, he was also very curious about Yuan Bao. In the past few days after he came back, he had heard a lot of Yuan Bao's great achievements, especially his little grandson Zhang Hongxun, who almost talked about Yuan Bao all the time.

Whether it was active or passive understanding, Zhang Jing felt that there was a little doll like Yuan Bao in his head every day, so when he came to the ancestral hall, he didn't rush in, but communicated with Uncle Zhong beside him.

After understanding the reason why the child opened the ancestral hall from Uncle Zhong, Zhang Jing fell silent, Uncle Zhong fell silent, and even the stern elders fell silent.

Several people were silent for a few minutes, and then they looked at each other, Zhang Jing paused and said to the big clan elder: "Let's go in and see the child, he should be the saddest when something like this happens, let alone the child He is still so young, while we pay attention to his growth, we also have to care about his inner thoughts, after all, Yuan Bao is not an ordinary child."

"Well, let's go in together." The old man nodded and said.

"Okay, let's go together." Zhang Jing nodded.

Zhang Jing and the elders looked at Uncle Zhong, nodded and walked towards the ancestral hall. Uncle Zhong didn't speak, but just watched them enter Zhang's ancestral hall.

"Second Master and the elders of the family are here, let's make way, let's make way." Before Zhang Jing and the others reached the gate of the ancestral hall, the two guards guarding the gate of the ancestral hall hurriedly said to the crowd around the gate of the ancestral hall.

Hearing this, the crowd gave way in an instant, and then everyone looked at the two highest-ranking family members on the island with fiery eyes.

"Hello, Mr. Dazu, and Hello, Second Master." This is a polite greeting from the slightly older and more stable older generation.

"The big family is old, and Yuanbao is still young. He doesn't know if the ancestral hall can be opened. You have to hold your hands high." This is the younger second or third generation of the Zhang family.

"Grandfather Zu, Grandpa Second, if you punish Yuan Bao, you can punish us. Can we replace him?" Needless to say, this must be Yuan Bao's little followers, that is, the group of children on the island. They all came too, but they were older and knew where the ancestral hall was, so they didn't dare to set foot on it easily. However, these pleadings can also show their friendship for Yuanbao.

......

From the square to the ancestral hall, Zhang Jing and the elders of the clan heard too many greetings and pleadings, and they all nodded politely to the enthusiasm of the clansmen. In fact, the elders of the clan felt the deepest. The elders of the Discipline Hall would be taken to the ancestral hall to be punished every time the clansman made a mistake, so every time he brought people here, the atmosphere would be dull, but unexpectedly, Yuan Bao's face was so big , Today really made him feel a different kind of enthusiasm.

Yuan Bao is worthy of being the son of the patriarch. He is very popular on Zhang Family Island at such a young age. Patriarch, it is really rare to be recognized by so many people at such a young age.

The important point is that this is the personality charm of the child.

After seeing the enthusiasm of the clansmen, Zhang Jing and the elders of the clan walked into the outer courtyard of the ancestral hall along the gate. The outer courtyard was quiet, and they didn't see the little figure. They looked at each other and then went to the inner courtyard. .

Zhang Jing said with a smile as he walked, "It seems that Yuan Bao's courage is not ordinary."

There was a rare gentle expression on the serious face of the elder of the clan. He looked at the gate of the inner courtyard and sighed: "Maybe the child is too young to know what fear is. As the saying goes, the ignorant is fearless."

Zhang Jing shook his head and didn't speak any more, but in his heart, he didn't take what the elders said. Yuan Bao was definitely not a kid who didn't know what fear was because he was young. Once, but with just one glance, he understood that the child's personality should be the same as Zhang Yi's when he was a child.

Is a bold master.

Passing through the gate of the inner courtyard, the main hall was still quiet and there was no one there. Walk around the hall to the Hall of Heroes on the left. Zuzu, the image of Zuzu in the child's heart should be those enshrined spirit cards.

Therefore, where the spirit card is, the ingot may be there!

Zhang Jing and the elders of the great clan walked around the porch of the hall and turned into the gate of the Hall of Heroes. They raised their legs and were about to step into the gate, but they both stopped at the same time, and saw a group of small figures kneeling on the ground, piously Kneeling to worship the ancestors of the Zhang family, and the spirit cards of the ancestors of the Zhang family also quietly looked at the children on the ground.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Jing and the elders of the big family became more cautious. This child really came to visit the ancestors. Not only did he come to visit the ancestors, but he also sincerely bowed down to worship the ancestors. It seems that the children of the Zhang family are filial.

So the two walked lightly into the Hall of Heroes.

Standing not far behind Yuan Bao, Zhang Jing and the elders first saluted respectfully to the ancestors, then Zhang Jing bent down and softly called, "Yuan Bao."

The room was silent, no one answered, the little dumpling was still kneeling well, but he ignored the two people behind him.

Zhang Jing and the elders of the great clan looked at each other, and there was a hint of distress in their eyes, and then the elder of the great clan who was more familiar with the child called out, "Yuan Bao, the ancestors are done worshiping, shall we go out?"

Ingots:...

After waiting for a few seconds, the elder Dazu and Zhang Jing realized at the same time that according to the character of the child Yuan Bao, he would never ignore the elders, so needless to say, something must have happened to the child.

So the two stepped forward to have a look at the same time, and Zhang Jing burst out laughing. Only after laughing out loud did he feel that this should not be the case in such a serious place, so he hurriedly made amends to his ancestors, and then happily looked at the little boy on the ground. Small bunch.

Yuan Bao was sleeping soundly with his chin propped up.

He complained to his ancestors before that he was tired, so he fell asleep without knowing it. In the dream, the two fathers were playing with him in the water. The whole family was very happy, so the big fat face unconsciously showed satisfaction His smile, at this moment, his exposed image is like a little novice monk, so cute, combined with the child's current posture, it is really hard for people not to smile.

Even the most serious big clan elder coughed a few times, alas, it's too early to reassure the child, if the child doesn't cause some accidents, it probably won't be Yuanbao.

The two squatted on the ground and yelled softly several times before Yuan Bao opened his misty eyes. He looked at Zhang Jing and Zhang Jing suspiciously, not understanding what happened for a while.

"Yuan Bao, let's go home and have a good sleep after watching Zu Zu?" Zhang Jing asked softly. This child is the child of his fourth brother. Such a small ball is much cuter than his grandson.

"Okay, Second Uncle." Yuan Bao didn't take a nap today and was really sleepy, so it was very easy to discuss.

"Can the second uncle take you home?" Zhang Jing's heart softened at the sight of Yuan Bao's big flickering eyes. The fat boy is much cuter than Piboy.

Yuan Bao looked at Zhang Jing and nodded, then yawned a little, closed his eyes, and fell asleep again.

Looking at the cute Yuan Bao, Zhang Jing carefully picked him up, and then walked out of the ancestral hall, followed by serious elders.
