If the longevity lock is matched, everyone basically believes in Li Chaosheng's identity.

This copper lock was made by the old man of the Li family, Li Jindao's father. When the Li family gave birth to twins, Li Jinli and Li Jindao, the old man ordered people to make this pair of longevity locks and engraved their names on them. When Li Jindao

When he left Tanggou Town, he told Li Jinli that if his descendants came back to recognize their ancestors in the future, they would definitely take this longevity lock.

After having the longevity lock, everyone looked at Li Chaosheng's straight nose and became even more convinced. Almost everyone in Lao Li's family has a straight nose. This characteristic has continued to Li Chaosheng's generation. It has to be said that this is very straight.

The nose gene is very powerful. After many generations, Li Chaosheng still inherited this physiological characteristic.

Everyone chatted together for a while, and then Li Jinli came and started to introduce. The largest generation of the Li family still alive is the Jin generation. Li Jinli is now the patriarch. There are four other old men of the Jin generation who are still alive, and they are the ones in the entire Dagou Town.

A core member of the Li family's most powerful old team.

He controls the basic rights of the Li family in Dagou Town.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the policy of clan management of local areas was implemented. These old men were the power holders of a clan and were in charge of the power of life and death within the entire clan. For example, that woman did not follow the rules of women, stole a man, drowned in a pig cage,

The clan leader can make the decision without having to report it to the county magistrate.

Li Jinli was very excited at this time and said to everyone: "This is the son of my brother Jindao. My eldest nephew Li Chaosheng recognizes his ancestors and returns to the clan. We worship our ancestors in the ancestral hall." Li Jindao pulled Li Chaosheng and said: "Let's go, follow

Uncle, go and kowtow to your ancestors."

After saying that, he pulled Li Chaosheng towards the ancestral hall. Li Chaolong hurried home at this time. His wife was guarding the egg nest at home, waiting for the eggs. At this time, Li Chaolong said: "Here at home, bring me the knife."

"Master, why do you need a knife?"

The daughter-in-law asked, and Li Chaolong said: "Slaughter the chicken."

"Ah, you are crazy. We only have this old hen in our family. Mom is not in good health and she is still waiting for eggs. If you kill the chicken, what will mom do next?"

"I can't care about that much anymore. When I have time, I will go up the mountain to catch two pheasants and come back to replenish my mother's health. But today Uncle Jin Dao's son comes to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. We can't let Uncle Jin Dao's son drink wild vegetables and become mush."

"But~"

Wife, I wanted to say something after hearing this. At this moment, the door of the earthen house suddenly opened. An old lady with a pale complexion leaned against the door and said: "Hua, don't stop him. This chicken has to be killed. At the beginning,

If Jindao hadn't left his hometown and given us food, our whole family would have starved to death. Now that Jindao's son has come back to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan, he doesn't even care about the meat of his mouth. It's shameful, my son, to kill him."

"Eh."

…

The ancestral hall is the most elegant building of the Li family in the entire Tanggou Town. Its blue bricks and blue tiles form a sharp contrast with the surrounding earthen houses. The ancestral hall is the face of a clan.

No matter how poor you are, even if you are too poor to eat, you still need to build a decent ancestral hall. If even the ancestral hall collapses, it means that this ethnic group has come to an end.

When he arrived at the ancestral hall, Li Chaosheng knelt in front of the ancestral tablets and kowtowed. A group of clan elders behind him witnessed that the three Li Chaosheng kowtowed naturally, because the ancestors in the ancestral hall were his true ancestors. Without them, how would he be?

After the three kowtows were finished, the old patriarch said: "Chaosheng, I kowtow to my ancestors now, even if I officially become a member of our Li family in Tanggou Town, the village is not rich now, so the ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan is a bit crude.

Now, when we get a chance, we’ll get another one.”

The old patriarch said, but Li Chaosheng didn't say anything. Everyone is so poor that they can't open the pot. Why do they care about ostentation? And even if they care about ostentation, they should pay for it themselves. Compared with these poor old men who can hardly afford to wear pants.

It's really too much for our ancestors to ask for money.

However, with this kowtow, Li Chaosheng's seniority was confirmed, and he became a generation member of the Ming Dynasty. In total, his seniority should have increased by ten or twenty generations at once. This was really a super senior increase.

A simple bow in the ancestral hall signifies your initial integration into this big family, your own identity in Tanggou Town, and your first step in integrating into this world.

After the worship at the ancestral hall, the old village chief is going to host a banquet for several clan elders who participated in the witnessing and go to the old village chief's house for dinner together. Of course, Li Chaosheng cannot be left out as the protagonist.

When we arrived at the old village chief's house, the old village chief's house had opened fire. Li Chaosheng was brought into the house. Then the house was filled with people, all coming to see Li Chaosheng. After all, Li Chaosheng was dressed too decently, and everyone was curious.

What happened to this fellow man?

Inside the house, the old village chief asked Li Chaosheng and his family's situation. At this time, Li Chaosheng made up his own life story.

"Uncle, I was born in Siam, Nanyang Island..."

Li Chaosheng said that his father went to sea with an old Taoist priest and settled down in Siam, where he practiced Taoism and bought property. Finally, he got a son and gave birth to himself. However, his father always missed his hometown. Finally, a year ago, his father passed away.

Sihua, his mother died when he was born in his early years, leaving him alone in Siam.

However, before his father passed away, he held his hand and said: You must return to your hometown of Tanggou Town, find your tribe, recognize your ancestors and return to your clan. Although this Siam is good, it is not our home after all.

As he spoke, Li Chaosheng secretly applied some Fengyou essence on his hands and burst into tears. A group of moved old men also burst into tears. Li Jinli sobbed at this time: "I have pity on my brother. There was a severe drought in the world.

The food at home was not enough for our family, so my parents called me up and said, "One of you two is going to run away from famine. Let us draw lots. I caught the short one. I should be the one running away. But in the end,

Dao took the initiative and said that he would go to sea with the master to find immortals and escape the disaster for me. I owe him, I owe him!"

As the old man spoke, he beat his feet and chest, and the people around him tried to persuade him.

Everyone was talking and crying like this, with tears streaming down their cheeks. For a long time, someone shouted, "dinner is ready," and then everyone dispersed. Soon the table was ready, and the food was served, including a basin of steamed buns mixed with wild vegetables.

, but it’s not cornmeal, it’s made of wheat flour.

Then there was a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of roots of an unknown plant, a plate of green wild vegetables, and finally a small pot of wild mushroom stewed chicken.

Seeing this pot of chicken, not to mention the children around, even the elders of the five tribes sitting on the table all swallowed their saliva. The meat had not been seen in more than a year.
