Chapter 234: Taoxiang's Ancestry Recognition
The two came to the Li's ancestral hall and pushed open the gate of the Li's ancestral hall. There were several middle-aged people cleaning inside, and they saw a man and a woman with hats and sunglasses coming in.
When one of the gray-haired middle-aged men saw Long Fei and Tao Xiang, he walked over and asked, "What are you two young men doing here?"
Tao Xiang asked, "May I ask if there is a tombstone named Li Weilang here?"
"Li Weilang, wait a minute, I'll check." The gray-haired middle-aged man went to check the genealogy.
Long Fei and Tao Xiang sat on a long chair.
Tao Xiang was a little nervous. When she was a child, she still remembered the kind faces of her grandparents. "
Soon, a middle-aged man with gray hair came to the two of them and said, "There is indeed Li Weilang's tombstone, please come with me."
Long Fei and Tao Xiang followed the gray-haired middle-aged man to a place, and saw a wooden sign that said Li Weilang's tombstone and a wooden sign next to it that said Li Weilang's wife Huang Shiqiuxia. There are two boxes of urns.
Tao Xiang's eyes were red with tears.
A bald middle-aged man came to Long Fei and Tao Xiang and asked, "Excuse me, who are you Li Weilang?"
Long Fei replied: "A relative."
The bald middle-aged man had a somewhat disbelieving expression.
Tao Xiangsheng asked the bald middle-aged man with a crying voice: "Excuse me, old man, do you know my grandfather?"
The bald middle-aged man squinted his eyes and said, "You are Li Weilang's granddaughter, it's impossible, his eldest son's family had already immigrated to Jupiter, even if his granddaughter is still there, I'm afraid she will be 70 years old this year. "
"Ake, you can still stay young at the age of 70."
"That's right." The middle-aged man nodded, and then said to Taoxiang with a somewhat unfriendly expression: "Little girl, I don't know why you say you are Li Weilang's granddaughter, let alone Jupiter, who his eldest son's family immigrated to. The Federation has not had international contact with us for 50 years, and the eldest son’s family has already lost contact.”
Tao Xiang explained the whole incident to the bald middle-aged man, seeing the unbelieving expression of the bald middle-aged man, Tao Xiang took out photos of her parents and grandparents when she was a child.
The bald middle-aged man looked at the photo with a shocked expression, and then saw the little girl in the photo and Tao Xiang's appearance for comparison.
The expression of the bald middle-aged man finally eased, and he said with a somewhat relieved expression: "Uncle, your eldest son's daughter has come to see you, and your granddaughter has come to see you."
Tao Xiang was shocked, she didn't expect the bald middle-aged man to be her relative, no wonder she had a bad expression just now.
The bald middle-aged man immediately introduced himself: "My father and your grandfather are brothers, and your father is my cousin, so you should call me cousin. My name is Li Wenke."
"Uncle Wen Ke, hello."
"Hurry up and offer incense to your grandparents."
Tao Xiang immediately lit incense, put it on the incense burner of grandparents, and then knelt down in front of the tombstones of grandparents.
At this moment, Tao Xiang burst into tears and stood up, unable to stand still, but it was Long Fei who supported her.
At this time, Tao Xiang was crying on Long Fei's shoulder, and Long Fei patted Tao Xiang's back to comfort her.
The gray-haired middle-aged man patted Li Wenke on the shoulder and left the scene by himself.
Li Wenke's eyes were filled with tears. He never thought that after so many years, he would still meet his uncle's descendants.
After Tao Xiang continued to stabilize, he said to Li Wenke: "Uncle, I want to know how grandpa and grandma came back here in the end."
"This, your uncle's family brought your grandparents back."
"Uncle, what about them?"
Li Wenke looked a little ugly, and finally made up his mind, pointing his chin at the tombstone of Li Weilang and his wife.
Tao Xiang looked at the tombstone of her grandparents, holding her mouth with both hands, she couldn't stand steadily, and almost passed out, Long Fei immediately hugged Tao Xiang.
"Help her to the chair first." Li Wenke pointed to a bench.
Long Fei supported Tao Xiang and let Tao Xiang sit on the bench.
It turned out that what Tao Xiang just saw was the tombstone of her uncle and aunt.
Long Fei turned to Li Wenke: "The old man would like to ask, what happened to Tao Xiang's uncle's family?"
"Well, Wei Lang and his wife were originally taken back by the second son's family to enjoy their old age. The second son and his wife gave birth to a pair of children. The three generations of the family lived together happily. Later, a family travel car accident killed four members of the second son's family. Because of the car accident, although the two elders survived the rescue, they were overwhelmed and died after knowing the death of the second son's family."
Li Wenke looked at Taoxiang who was crying very sad, reached out and patted the back of Taoxiang's hand, and said apologetically: "Niece Taoxiangtang, don't blame Tangshu for his bad attitude towards you before, because we all thought that uncle's lineage was Root out."
"It's okay, uncle."
Tao Xiang didn't expect to hear from her father that he had a younger brother, and she thought she could meet her uncle's relatives, but she didn't expect that they were no longer in this world.
"Uncle, can I take away the tombstone and urn of my grandparents, uncle's family?"
"I have to tell the director of the ancestral hall about this."
Li Wenke walked into an office in the ancestral hall.
Taoxiang used to bring her younger sister to the Jupiter spaceship. She thought that if possible, she would hand over her younger sister to her grandparents to take care of her. At least her younger sister could go to school like an ordinary child.
Unexpectedly, after the accident on the Jupiter spacecraft, so many things happened during the more than fifty years when the two sisters were asleep.
Soon, a middle-aged man slightly younger than Li Wenke came to Long Fei and Tao Xiang accompanied by Li Wenke.
The middle-aged man was the person in charge of the Li Family Ancestral Hall, and he came to Tao Xiang and said, "Uncle Weilang, you can't take away the tombstones of their family, but I can allow you to take the urn. You can find the tombstones here." My master will help you build a pair, and we also need you to fill in the family tree of our Li family, Uncle Willam, so that the genealogy can record that there is also a granddaughter in the Uncle Willam family."
"OK, thanks."
"By the way, where are your parents?"
"Mom and Dad are gone."
"Well, then we will also make a pair of your parents' tombstones. If you can come here in the future, please pay more respects to the ancestors of our Li family."
"Okay, I also have a younger sister, I will also make a record for my younger sister, can I?"
"Why doesn't your sister come?"
"She's still a child."
"Oh, that's it, okay, you can help your sister record."
Then, Taoxiang wrote down her and her sister's names in her father's lineage on the Li family tree.
Afterwards, Tao Xiang offered incense sticks to the ancestors of the Li family, which represented her recognition of her ancestors.
Then, Li Wenke took Long Fei and Tao Xiang to the shop of a master who specializes in tombstones and tombstones, and asked him to make tombstones.
Long Fei said with emotion in his heart: "In this world, some traditional customs are almost the same as those in the previous life."
Then, Long Fei suddenly remembered a person called Boss Sun, and asked Li Wenke: "Uncle Li, I want to ask you guys, I heard about a person named Boss Sun, what is the matter with this person? Other people's stores want to develop, but some gangsters are sent to drive them away."
Li Wenke flashed a hint of disgust, then shook his head and said: "You don't need to know who this person is, you just need to know that he is a well-known bully colluding with government and businessmen on our side."
Long Fei told Li Wenke what he had experienced today.
Li Wenke sighed, and said: "The old restaurant you mentioned is a time-honored restaurant run by our local villagers. A husband and wife worked so hard. After the husband died, the wife ran it alone. It was nothing. The thing is, the guy surnamed Sun has taken a fancy to the proprietress and her shophouses all over the street. Originally, if he was willing to pay a considerable amount of compensation to the shopkeepers in that row, it is estimated that many shopkeepers would be willing to move out, but The money he gave was very little. Those shopkeepers were not willing to leave. He hired local and some out-of-town gangsters to beat those shopkeepers at night. Many shopkeepers were beaten away by them. Either they stopped them, or they had no way to complain, and everyone here knows that the Municipal Council has been bribed by them."
Long Fei nodded after hearing this. No matter where it is, people at the bottom will always be bullied by those above them. People at the bottom don't want to be bullied, so they can only try their best to climb up.
At this moment, Long Fei's cell phone rang, it was a message. Long Fei looked at it and said, "Uncle Li, I have something to do, so I need to excuse you."
"good."
Tao Xiang watched Long Fei leave the scene, immediately chased after him and asked, "What happened?"
"Something happened at that store."
Tao Xiang heard what Long Fei meant, and immediately followed Long Fei to the old restaurant where he ate for breakfast.
