Chapter 1870 The cunning of the villagers
In fact, when they did this, it was quite controversial in the village.First of all, because of the problem of collecting money, every male in the village has to pay five yuan.

To be honest, Meiwangzhuang is not rich here, and there is no sideline business. Most people go to the city to work, and the nearest Linqing City has no factories where they can work.So although the five dollars is not much, many people still have toothaches.

However, Mei Changlin also has a way. He first found a few old men with prestige in the village, and explained to them the necessity of rebuilding the family tree, as well as the popular root-seeking activities of compatriots in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

If you meet a big money, the money will be big!At that time, the few initiators of them will be very rich.

Even if you don't meet big money, there are many people in the village.Five yuan per person, there are thousands of males, and there are thousands of income.

And continuing the genealogy does not cost much money, it is just pen, ink, paper and inkstone, plus the cost of some memorial ceremonies, 500 yuan is the top of the sky.

Besides, there are at least [-] people who come back from other places, and they will be deleted from the family tree if they don't pay.This is a powerful move. After so many years, there are hundreds of people who have left the village one after another.

In addition, they are all spreading outside, and the total number must be more than the number of people in the village today.Mei Changlin promised that anyone who helped him initiate this event would be rewarded.

This is powerful, as money touches people's hearts, the enthusiasm of several old people is mobilized at once.

They start with their own children and grandchildren, and let them sign up enthusiastically. Of course, they don't need to pay.But you have to put on a show, pay the money first, and then return.

Driven by them, the villagers quickly responded.The main reason is that the old people are afraid that their children will be removed from the genealogy. Chinese people have a traditional concept, that is, leaves return to their roots. If there is no name on the genealogy, what is the root?
The reason for doing this in time for the Chinese New Year is naturally because all the migrant workers have returned.There are also those who have moved their families to other places, and many of them will rush back to visit their family's graves at this time.Soon, this genealogy activity started vigorously.

Of course, it was impossible for Mei Changlin and the others to just copy the name again, but prepared three animals and held a large-scale sacrificial activity.

Although the ancestral hall is gone, the ancestral graves are still there!It's just that few people bury there anymore. One is that the place is too small, but there are too many branches, and they are willing to find a place by themselves.

Naturally, Mei Jinchai told Ye Yuze and the others about these situations. Ye Yuze's eyes flashed brightly, and he had an idea, but naturally he couldn't say it at this time.

Soon, Mei Changlin and the other old men rushed over.Mainly because I heard that Mei Changan's family is here.

Although he had no impression of Mei Changan, mainly because he was ten years older than them, he still knew his name.And knowing that their family is all in a big city, and they came back on purpose to recognize their ancestors, how could such a person be easily let go?
On the way, they discussed it with each other. For Mei Changan's family, if they don't get 3000 and [-] yuan, their life will be in vain.

When they met each other, they saw the car parked at the gate of the village committee. Several people looked at each other with secret joy on their faces, fat sheep!Then he opened the door and entered the office.

Mei Jinchai made an introduction to several people. Mei Changlin twirled his goatee and acted like a big brother. Just kidding, his current status is equivalent to the past patriarch, but he is a person who can determine life and death, so no matter where you are No matter how good you are outside, when you are in the clan, you have to be a tiger or a dragon.

Meihua and the others naturally had to stand up to say hello, since they were from his father's generation after all, they had to call uncle.

Mei Changlin looked at several people arrogantly, and said displeasedly: "You are not filial! You will not return home when you leave home. Ye Luo will not return to your roots. Your branch can be called rebellious!"

Plum Blossom's complexion changed, this sentence was simply heart-breaking, but what they said hit the nail on the head.Make her unable to refute.

"We don't know this place, and we don't take it as our root. It's just my father's hometown. This time I came here to fulfill my wish. So, I can't talk about disobedience."

As the eldest son in the family, my uncle has not spoken.Not because of fear, but because of identity.As a person in the system, this kind of behavior has already violated some taboos.

At this moment, being reprimanded again and again by others, the anger in my heart has long been uncontrollable, so I naturally said it out without hesitation.

"No, no. It doesn't matter what your status is. But you are Chinese after all. No matter how brilliant you are outside, after you die, you will be buried in the loess of your hometown. Those who live abroad are not far away. Come to find your roots, could it be that you are busier than others in Tangcheng?"

"I am Chinese, and my job is to make the country prosperous and the people rich. I will never worry about where I will be buried after my death."

The uncle was full of firepower and full of domineering, but suddenly Mei Changlin and the others were stunned. I don't know what to say?
Mei Jinchai quickly smoothed things over: "It seems that my elder brother should be a leader outside, right? But the clan naturally has some clan rules. You may not like it, but there is no need to be angry, right?"

The implication of his words is: "Since you are so awesome, why come back to recognize your ancestors? Why don't you step into this village if you have the ability? No one invites you."

Mei Hua hurriedly interjected: "Uncle Changlin, don't be angry, my brother has a bad temper. We came here this time, not thinking about Ye Luo's return to his roots, but just wanting to fill in the name in the genealogy, which can be regarded as fulfilling my father's wish. Of course, we will not come in vain , will naturally do something for the village. Can you see what we need to do?"

Mei Changlin was trying to get lucky, thinking of what words to use to knock down this arrogant guy?As a result, the elder sister took the initiative to express her opinion, and it showed that she wanted to give money. Who can have a grudge against her?
"Is that so? But things are not that simple. The genealogy has been compiled, and you don't have it at all. If you want to add it again now, you have to revise the whole thing. In addition, there will be sacrifices to report to your ancestors. The return of this one needs money!"

After Mei Changlin finished speaking, he continued to stroke his beard and look at Meihua. He had already seen that Meihua was the main group of people in this group, so he had to make the difficulty a little higher first, so that it would be easier to negotiate the price.

Plum Blossom nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, how much do you think it will cost? We will pay for it."

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

Then he pinched his fingers in a serious manner, muttering about everything, discussing with the old men who came with him from time to time, and finally said:
"There's a lot of money, about three thousand! Can you accept it?"
