Who are you calling powerful?.

Chapter 656: The ancestor also praised you in the dream
"Idol Producer" is becoming more and more popular, Brother Kun and his brother-in-law are becoming more and more famous, and PPTV is making more and more money.

The Spring Festival is here too!
This year's Spring Festival is a little different from previous years. The Wei family has added three new members at once, which is of great significance. At the same time, three children mean that Boss Wei has to run around three families this Spring Festival and he is too busy to handle everything.

After all, it’s the first year, and everyone has some special expectations and sensitivities. It will be a hassle if not handled properly.

Fortunately, Boss Wei was no pushover and had made preparations early on. He went straight back to his hometown with his parents, who were also having a headache about how to serve the dishes.

The reasons are ready-made. The Wei family has a successor, so he has to go home to burn incense and report the news to his ancestors, and also record a family tree or something.

Logically speaking, I should have brought the child along as well, but after all, the child is still young, so I'll bring him back when I have time.

Go back to your hometown on New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year to avoid these two days, and just make up a time difference for the rest of the time. As long as it is confirmed that Wei Yang goes back to his hometown alone and does not spend the New Year at the other person's house, no one will bother about whether he goes to whose house early or late.

"Okay, you guys eat first and say happy new year to my parents for me."

Wei Yang hung up the phone. Wang Yunping, who was mixing dumpling fillings not far away, sneered.

"Just do what you can to the death. You may get away with it this year, but let's see what you can do next year."

"Let's talk about next year next year. Maybe I can get everyone together to celebrate the New Year."

"Just blow it."

Wang Yunping was not in a good mood. It was nice to go back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year, but she felt bad as a grandmother when she thought about not being able to see her grandson.

In the past, when I didn’t have grandchildren, I envied other people’s New Year celebrations, when their children and grandchildren were around them and the whole family gathered together, laughing and talking happily.

Now that she has a grandson, she still cannot enjoy the joy of family life. She is forced to be separated from her grandson and return to her hometown in disgrace, where she still has to serve these two dogs.

"What are you looking at? Go get the garlic sauce."

Wang Yunping became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, and started to find fault, saying that Wei Yang was in the wrong and was not very sensible about the situation.

"Where is the stuffing machine at home?"

"What kind of machine should I use? Use a garlic mortar to pound it. It's more fragrant if I pound it by hand."

So, Wei, the richest man who was so powerful outside and was regarded as a role model in life by countless people, was now having the hard time pounding garlic with a garlic mortar, and was often criticized for being too slow.

What made Wei Yang feel relieved was that Comrade Lao Wei did not escape either. He was assigned to knead the dough, but he was also caught making a mistake by Wang Yunping and was severely scolded.

This caused the old man to look at Wei Yang with an especially dangerous look, and Boss Wei carefully moved to the side.

"It's New Year's Day, it's not appropriate to fight."

Comrade Lao Wei sighed: "If I had known earlier, I would have been thicker-skinned and asked the brigade for more family planning supplies, and I would have gotten rid of this scourge of yours."

Wei Yang: "..."

My goodness, the old man is really resentful!

However, apart from the old couple's resentment about not being able to see their grandson, this rare return to their hometown, the family of three spent the New Year quietly and peacefully, and they actually found some of the feeling they had when they opened a small shop on the street.

At that time, there were still elderly people in my uncle's family, so the two families did not celebrate the New Year together.

Wei Yang sat on the sofa watching TV, Wang Yunping made dumplings, Wei Shan boiled water and cooked. The three of them squeezed into the not-so-big room on the second floor, each busy with their own things, watching the Spring Festival Gala and eating the not-so-rich New Year's Eve dinner. When it was time, the father and son went downstairs to set off some firecrackers, and Wang Yunping muttered about the phone bill and the New Year's greetings from several aunts and uncles...

This ordinary scene is one of the warmest moments in Boss Wei's memory of two lifetimes.

After dinner, the old couple made video calls to several grandchildren one by one. They had no time to argue with Wei Yang. They gathered together and happily watched their grandchildren babbling New Year greetings.

I guess the three kids themselves didn’t know what they said, but the old couple were so happy that they grinned as if they had heard some classic quote.

After hanging up the phone, they were still reminiscing about the discussion. One said the eldest grandson was the best at speaking, another said the second grandson would smile when he saw them, and they all agreed that the third grandson was the best looking.

Boss Wei arranged for the old couple to meet Young Master Wei Li shortly before the Spring Festival.

Just as Wei Yang expected, the old couple were surprised, angry and secretly happy to hear that they had a grandson. Even though they had some criticisms about their cheap daughter-in-law Fan Xiaopang and Wei Yang's excessive behavior, they were still very excited when they saw their little grandson with their own eyes.

In fact, both the eldest and second young masters Wei are good-looking, fair-skinned, cute, and very attractive.

But when it comes to appearance, it has to be Wei San Shao. Although he is young, he has delicate features, fair and tender skin, and looks like a doll. Everyone who has seen him loves him.

The eldest son Wei Yi is the eldest grandson, and the second son Wei Qin's mother is loved by the old couple. These two children have different positions in the hearts of Wang Yunping and his wife.

Under such circumstances, Young Master Wei had few cards to play and was betrayed by his own parents, making it difficult for him to compete with his two older brothers for the favor of his grandparents.

But faced with such a predicament, Young Master Wei managed to turn the situation around by relying on his good looks.

People judge people by appearance. Good-looking children are naturally more likely to be liked by their elders. Even though Wei Li appeared last, the old couple were deeply impressed by this handsome little grandson.

It's not that he directly bypasses the eldest and second young masters who each have their own support and have been together for a longer time, but he is definitely not an ignored "poor little one" either.

...

Wei Yang's family returned to their hometown without making any announcement, otherwise they would have never had peace.

Not to mention relatives and old friends, even local leaders may come to visit. It is not an exaggeration at all. The title of the richest man is still very strong. The economy of his hometown Zao City is not good, and the local government has been thinking about Boss Wei for a long time.

In fact, over the years, Wei Yang has also invested some money in his hometown, but it is far from enough to change the economy of his hometown.

It’s not that Boss Wei is stingy or forgets his hometown folks after making money. It’s just that the business he has is not suitable.

JD.com's Liu can move part of JD.com's sectors to his hometown. Wei Yang's Blue Whale, Red Shark and PPTV are all asset-light, highly professional industries with resources concentrated in the headquarters. How can they be moved and what is the use of moving them?

Of course, having said that, Wei Yang still wants to do something for his hometown if possible.

Although the core industries cannot be relocated, there are other ways to support the economic development of the hometown.

But Wei Yang hopes to get some substantive commitment and support for the specific regulations and implementation details.

Wei Yang didn't plan to make much money from this, just to break even, and he would be fine with a little bit of subsidy.

But you can choose not to benefit others, but you cannot give up the fame!
Not to mention the good reputation in his hometown, if one stays true to his roots even when he is rich, it will also be of great benefit to his personal image and reputation. Jingdong Liu is the best example.

In addition, there are examples of people giving back to their hometown but not getting any thanks or even getting cheated.

Wei Yang wants to give back to his hometown, but he doesn't want to be a sucker. Don't do anything stupid to disgust him. I'll be frank with you and make three rules to avoid a good thing turning into a bad thing, and it will save everyone some worry and effort.

However, it is New Year now, and Wei Yang doesn't want to think about these things for the time being.

Therefore, the family of three came in a low-key manner and did not tell anyone, being happy to have a quiet time without anyone paying them New Year's greetings. After finishing their work, they went to visit their grandmother and went straight back to the Magic City before these people could react.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Wei Yang followed his father to the mountain to visit his grandparents and other elders in the morning when there were few people around.

Afterwards, he returned to the village and found an uncle from his family, and began to discuss the inclusion of the three young masters of the Wei family in the family tree.

After Wei Yang became rich, the old Wei family also started to move forward. Wei Yang paid for the repair of tombs and the erection of tombstones, and also built an ancestral hall. He also compiled some family genealogies and family records, etc.

Because I don’t know much about the information and names of the older generation, I may not remember many things accurately, but it is full of a sense of ritual.

The most important thing is that Boss Wei has a separate page in the family tree, and his content occupies the vast majority of the content in the family history.

There was no other way. At least in their Zaoshi branch, Wei Yang was the only person who could be mentioned in the past hundred years. I didn't know about the older ones, but I remembered that they were poor peasants, and their generations were so poor that they had to urinate blood. It was a blessing from their ancestors that they could marry a wife and continue to have a family line.

So I'm not trying to flatter Wei Yang, it's just that there's really nothing else to remember. It's impossible to remember how much land you have dug in your lifetime and what vegetables you have planted every year.

It is worth mentioning that Comrade Lao Wei also benefited from his son's help in this matter.

Because he fostered the great pride of the Wei family, he was given several more mentions, second only to Wei Yang and the ancestor at the beginning of the family tree.

I heard that Wei Yang came back this time to enroll his son in the family tree, and the uncle who is the clan leader's family manager was very happy.

This shows that Wei Yang still attaches great importance to the clan. With him as the pillar, the Wei family will prosper.

After all, it was not a big family with strict rules, and Wei Yang did not want to be high-profile, so there was no complicated ceremony. The steward called two elders to witness it. After Wei Yang and his son burned incense and lit the lamps to indicate the birth of a new baby, he took up his pen to record it.

"What's the child's name?"

"Wei Yi."

"Nice name, date of birth."

"June 2017, 6, the lunar calendar is May 20, which is the zodiac sign of the Rooster."

"Mother's name and date of birth."

"Ah, you're still writing about his mother?"

The steward smiled and said, "Of course you have to write it down. You have to write down both the parents. Times have changed now. You have to record even the children of married daughters. Your eldest aunt and your cousins ​​are all in our family tree. The next generation can record them or not. We don't know about other places. Most of us do this."

Wei Yang then realized how shallow he was. He had not really studied this aspect and thought it only recorded male offspring.

"Liu Shishi, your birthday is..."

The steward is old and has no other feelings about this name.

The brush in his hand flew wildly, and he quickly recorded everything. He blew away the ink and was about to put the brush down when Wei Yang coughed lightly.

"Uncle, it's not over yet, there's still the second one."

The old man in charge was stunned, while the fat old man next to him was happy and said to Wei Shan, "Shanzi, you are so lucky. You have a pair of fat twin grandchildren."

Wei Shan forced a smile and silently raised the cup to drink water.

Wei Yang and the other stewards dipped their brushes in ink and began to report the second son's information.

"The second child is called Wei Qin, which means hardworking."

"It's a good name. Perseverance and diligence have good meanings."

The steward complimented him as usual and was about to follow the boss in front of him and write down his date of birth when he was stopped by the sharp-eyed Wei Yang.

"Uncle, it's not one day. The second child was born on October 10th."

The steward paused for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Is it also this year?"

"Yes, 2017, the year of the Rooster."

The fat old man who had just joked about Comrade Wei holding twins looked at Wei Shan again. The latter was concentrating on studying the teacup in his hand, as if this ordinary white porcelain cup had turned into a rare Yuan blue and white porcelain.

The uncle in charge wrote down the child's information, picked up the pen and stopped at the mother's position, remaining silent.

The thin old man next to him was impatient and asked directly: "...How do I remember my mother's name?"

Since they are not twins and the two children are so close to each other, they definitely do not have the same mother.

But there are some tips on how to remember it!

Some families have concerns and will register the child under the name of one mother even though the child is from different mothers.

The three uncles were not people who had never seen the world. There was a divorced man in their family before. The two parties had a big fight. The uncle hid his ex-wife and registered his son under the name of his stepmother.

Generally speaking, if the person involved insists, the clan will agree to it. If the child disagrees when he grows up, the details are kept and they can be discussed and changed.

However, she got married several years after the divorce, and the birth dates of Wei Yang's two children are less than half a year apart, which is a bit...

The three uncles looked at each other, and everything was beyond words. Feeling the strange atmosphere, Comrade Lao Wei almost buried his eyes in the cup.

Wei Yang was thicker-skinned than his father, and said without hesitation: "Zhao Liying, your birthday is..."

The old man in charge was writing down the notes and was about to put down his pen when Wei Yang stopped him: "Uncle, there is another old man."

"puff!"

The thin old man who was drinking tea to calm himself down spat out the water in his mouth, and the fat old man was also a little overwhelmed.

"Are they twins?"

Wei Yang forced himself to force a polite smile, and Comrade Old Wei wished he could shrink into the cup.

It's so shameful. I've lost all my face in this life!
The steward numbly picked up the pen and dipped it in ink. After Wei Yang revealed Wei Li's name, he did not praise the name, but wrote mechanically.

"My mother's name is... yes, Bing, the Bingxue character, and her birthday is..."

After the uncle in charge finished writing, he learned his lesson and did not put down his pen. Instead, he looked up at Wei Yang. The thin and fat uncles did the same.

Even the shameless Boss Wei was a little embarrassed at this moment: "Only three. I'll try harder next time."

Scratch ~

Comrade Old Wei, who was feeling uneasy, could not stand it any longer. He stood up suddenly, moved his chair to the side, and ran away in a hurry without even daring to look at the faces of his three brothers.

"My stomach hurts, I need to go to the bathroom."

The thin old man said directly: "Look at how embarrassed you are making your father. Three children with three mothers, it's really a bit too much."

"How did you say this?"

The fat uncle has a different view: "He has many wives and children, which shows that our nephew is capable."

The manager was the most steadfast. He neither advised nor praised, but asked Wei Yang to check if there were any mistakes.

If it is convenient, Wei Yang could also send a few photos back. Nowadays, family tree can contain photos, and some are even electronic files.

It’s just that the old guys don’t understand high technology, so the Wei family still uses paper copies, in duplicate, to prevent damage and loss.

On the way back, Comrade Lao Wei was very sad. On the one hand, he felt embarrassed, but he even felt that he would make his ancestors angry, which was really disrespectful. He wondered if they would come to scold him in his dreams at night.

"Don't worry, even if he really came to you in a dream, he would praise you for having so many children and so many incense offerings. The old ancestor would be so happy that he couldn't contain himself."

Wei Yang was very calm, and he had a good grasp of the psychology of his ancestors. If they were really angry, would his fortune be so good?
