Zhang Yan was walking in front, and Zhang Ping and Zhang An followed behind with their tricycles.

The first stop was naturally to come to Wu Ye’s house.

"Fifth Master, is Fifth Master at home?" Zhang Yan and the other two stood at the door of the yard and shouted into the room.

“Who?

Oh, Yanzi is here?

Your fifth master is on the kang in the house, come in the house quickly!" Zhang Fuyi's wife came out to greet Zhang Yan.

In the north, there is a word called cat winter in winter.

What it means is that you sit on the warm kang and don’t go out for activities without any trouble. You can get together to chat and play cards together.

In later generations, with the warming of the world, there was still the custom of cat winter in the Northeast.

However, in the 1950s and 1960s and 1980s, there was a custom of cat winter in rural areas such as in some parts of Shandong and most areas of Hebei.

"Auntie Yi, are you in good health?"

"Okay, I'll give you my blessings!" Aunt Yi smiled and led Zhang Yan and the other two into the house.

Zhang Yan and the other two carried their things and followed Aunt Yi to the east house in the main room.

Wu Ye has a lot of people in his family, all of whom are neighbors, and people of the same generation or age as Wu Ye, chatting with Wu Ye at Wu Ye's house.

"Fifth Master, our brothers are here to see you!" Zhang Yan greeted the fifth Master first, and then greeted the others one by one.

"You kid, come here, why are you still getting things? I have nothing to lack here. Take it back and send it to your master." The fifth master said happily.

"Fifth Master, I know you have nothing to lack, but if you don't lack it, it doesn't mean that I, as a junior, can be disrespectful to you!" Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"This child is the most promising child in their generation!" The fifth master asked Aunt Yi to take over the things, and then said to the people in the room with a smile.

"Oh, Fifth Master, don't praise me like this. If you praise me again, my tail will be overwhelmed." Zhang Yan hurriedly bowed and begged for mercy.

The Fifth Master said this too much. Maybe his status doesn’t matter much, and no one dares to refute him, but if this is spread, it will easily attract jealousy.

"Haha! What are you afraid of, little monkey?

The Zhang Jiayu is invincible!" The fifth master said domineeringly.

Indeed, although it has been liberated, Zhangjiayu still lives in a clan, and the village chief is the son of the fifth master. Zhangjiayu is really the fifth master.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhang Yan didn't understand it, but later he realized that he had to admire him, and the fifth master was very clever.

Zhang Fuyi also participated in the revolution and fought all the anti-Japanese wars. According to the level, Zhang Fuyi was able to be assigned to Beijing and assigned a good job.

However, the other person insisted that he didn't, so he went home and became the village chief.

Who can afford to be a village chief like this?

Why?

This is the cleverness. If you have a son as the village chief, and you have such a background, who can compete with the villagers?

As for why I don’t want to work well and go home to be the village chief, because the fifth master thought it very clearly that Zhangjiayu is the root of their family.

If the roots are unstable, no matter how big or luxuriant the branches and leaves develop, they are still castles in the air.

Why was Zhang Fuyi able to fight in the north and south and survive?

It’s not up to the village, but the support of the clan.

Zhang Fuyi joined the army and took away nearly one hundred young and middle-aged people in the village in one breath.

As for people like Zhang Yan, the fifth master really doesn't care, and he is happy to see it happen.

The tree is a thousand feet tall, and the leaves fall back to their roots.

No matter how luxuriant the branches are, they cannot be separated from the roots.

Of course, this is the thought of the older generation of Wu Ye, and you can't say it's wrong.

Even if someone leaves the village and develops well outside, does not recognize his ancestors or gives back to the clan, it doesn't matter, and the clan will not lose anything.

A big tree always has some dead branches. It doesn’t recognize its ancestors, but just thinks that a dead branch grows on the big tree and cuts it off.

After Zhang Yan figured it out, he was really impressed by his scheming and thoughts about the fifth master.

Will those who are good at making a living outside recognize their ancestors?

Just look at the wealthy people who returned home in glory, built ancestral halls in large quantities, and gave back to their neighbors.

The Chinese clan concept is engraved in their bones. Even in a certain period of time, for some special reasons, if you give up your clan, you will eventually return to the rules and regain your ancestors.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

Zhang Yan saw through it, but it had no effect on him.

He never planned to compete for the position of the patriarch. His family is already a side branch and no longer a member of the direct line. It is impossible to compete for the position of the patriarch.

At most, he would be like his grandfather, and he would be a clan elder.

The struggle is also the struggle among several old men in their direct line.

It doesn't matter who wins and loses, and it doesn't have much impact on other tribesmen.

I just don’t know if the fifth master’s branch can withstand the strong wind in a few years.

"Fifth Master, with you here, Zhang Jiayu naturally can't make a fuss, and probably didn't want to make a fuss.

After all, over the years, the actions of the direct lineage have been truly considered for the Zhang family. Everyone sees this in their eyes and remembers it in their hearts.” Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"Hahaha! You little monkey, I just praised you for a few words, but you praised you, the fifth master, for coming." The fifth master pointed at Zhang Yan and said with a laugh.

He was very satisfied with Zhang Yan's attitude.

Although Zhang Yan was talking about the direct lineage, the fifth master thought that Zhang Yan was praising him, which was his support.

However, only he knows what Zhang Yan thought in his heart.

"Fifth Master, I brought back a lot of supplies this time, thinking of giving the widowed elderly people in the village a share." Zhang Yan smiled and did not respond, and instead talked about another thing.

"Talking things to the elderly orphans is a good thing, I support it!" The fifth master stroked his beard and smiled.

Zhang Yan gave it to him privately, and told him first, which are two different concepts.

Seeing Zhang Yan greeting him in advance, the fifth master was naturally even more satisfied.

The fifth master doesn’t lack anything, but what he wants is Zhang Yan’s attitude.

Obviously, Zhang Yan's attitude satisfied the fifth master.

"It just so happens that you old guys are here. Let Yanzi bring the things in so that he can save him another trip." The fifth master pointed at the old guys in the room and smiled.

These elderly people are all widowed people in the village, and their children have basically died on the battlefield or died prematurely.

Zhangjiayu really doesn’t have the kind of bachelor who has been fighting for a lifetime.

This is also the contribution of the fifth master and the fifth master's father. Zhangjiayu has always developed well, and the girls outside are rushing to marry Zhangjiayu.

Naturally, there is no such thing as a bachelor.

Zhang Yan turned his head and looked at Zhang Ping and Zhang An. The two of them ran out quickly to get the things.

"Yanzi, your two younger brothers have been trained well by you.

Originally, I sighed that my two good kids were taught blindly by that bastard Fusheng. Unexpectedly, after you trained them like this, I became an adult." The fifth master said with a smile when he saw Zhang Ping and Zhang An's performance.
