The store is full of passers-by

"I know that my ancestor is going to celebrate his [-]th birthday, and everyone is going to hold a big celebration for him, and then, what's going on?" Yun Hao asked.

Yun Chujin's expression suddenly became serious, he took a deep breath, and said, "Hey... this time, besides celebrating the [-]th birthday of our ancestor, Besides, there is another purpose."

"For what purpose?"

"The ancestor said that the patriarch will be re-elected at this birthday banquet."

Upon hearing this sentence, Yun Hao's expression was shocked, and he said, "Re-elect the patriarch? Why!?"

"Xiaohao, the ancestor, after all, is already [-] years old. From the end of the Qing Dynasty, to the Ming Dynasty, and now, he has gone through three eras. A person has a head and a tail after all." Yun Chujin said .

Yun Hao immediately understood what he meant, and Yun Chu would like to say... the body of the old ancestor is no longer good!He knew that he might be going west of Hexi soon, so on his birthday, he summoned all the people in Yunjia Village to re-elect the patriarch.

After knowing the news, Yun Hao's mood suddenly became a little heavy.

He hurriedly said: "How could this be? When I came back on the Tomb-sweeping Day, wasn't my ancestor's body still strong? He walks like flying, how could he say that he can't do it!?"

"We are also surprised. Until now, our ancestors are still working in the fields by themselves. They seem to be fine, and they walk faster than me. But the ancestors said that they couldn't do it. I don't understand." Yun Chujin said: "So, no matter what, we have to be mentally prepared for this. It is impossible for our ancestors to live forever."

Although somewhat helpless, this is a reality.Everyone will have birth, old age, sickness and death, only on this point, God is fair to everyone.

"Okay, I got it. In other words, on this birthday, we have to elect a new patriarch, right? Then who are the candidates?" Yun Hao asked.

When choosing the village chief, Yun Hao never cared so much as he does now.Perhaps it is in Yunhao's core that he regards the patriarch as more important than the village head.

Because the village head is the representative of the party and the government, leading the people of Yunjia Village to develop outward, and the patriarch is the core existence inside Yunjia Village.

"There are five candidates." Yun Chujin said.

"The five?"

"Me." Yun Chujin pointed at himself.

This point, Yun Hao is not very surprised.First of all, Yun Chujin is the village head of the village. Over the years, he has done a lot of work for the village, such as pulling wires and network cables. It was all negotiated between Yun Chujin and the township government, and he went to the county to negotiate the allocation of funds.

In Yunjia Village, Yun Chujin can be regarded as the candidate for the patriarch, with the highest voice.

"What about the others?" Yun Hao asked.

"The second is the great-grandson of the ancestor, the third is Yun Qingshan, and the fourth is Yun Baihe." Yun Chujin said.

Yun Hao also knew about these three people.The great-grandson of the ancestor, don't look at it, it feels very small, in fact, he is also a person of the same generation as Yun Chujin, let alone the fact that he is the great-grandson of the ancestor, it is very important. Eligible to inherit the position of patriarch.

Then there is Yun Qingshan. He is an intellectual and the principal of the only middle school in Longfeng Town. He is a well-known figure in Shiliba Township, and all the students in the village are his students, so he The possibility is also quite high.

The last Yunbaihe is Yunjia Village. A successful businessman who went out in these years, it is said that the company has grown to a scale of several hundred people, with assets of tens of millions and hundreds of millions. This time, Yunjia Village will be built into a tourist attraction. It is also the investment he attracted.

These few people, no matter who became the patriarch of Yunjia Village, Yunhao didn't have any opinions. He believed that these people must be capable and could take over from their ancestors and become the core of Yunjia Village.

But after thinking about it, Yun Hao felt something was wrong again, and he said: "Didn't you say five people? You, the great-grandson of the ancestor, Yun Qingshan, Yun Baihe, there are only four people, the fifth one ,who is it?"

Yun Chujin's eyes fell on Yun Hao, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Yun Hao gradually felt an inexplicable chill, he shrank his neck, and said, "Hey, village chief, don't just look at me, talk, who is the fifth person?"

After staring at Yunhao for a long time, Yun Chujin said quietly, "The fifth person is you."

"Damn!" Yun Hao jumped up from his seat in shock, and exclaimed, "Are you making a mistake, me!? I'm a candidate for patriarch, please stop joking!"

"Slow down!" Yun Chujin said hastily.

Yun Hao lowered his voice, restrained the shock in his heart, and said: "Is there a mistake? How could it be me? What virtue and power do I have!"

Yun Hao still has such things as self-knowledge.Whether it is round qualification, round seniority, or influence and benefits to the village, Yun Hao is far inferior to Yun Chujin and the other four. Why is he qualified, as a candidate, to compete with the four of them? stand together?

There must be something wrong!

"There is no mistake, it is impossible to make a mistake." Yun Chujin said: "It is you, you are the fifth candidate."

"Why." Yun Hao said puzzledly: "I have never applied before, and secondly, I don't have much ability. It is possible that this candidate was randomly selected by you. Don't be kidding."

"It was appointed by the ancestors himself."

Chapter 2: The Hot Potato

"Don't look at me like that, I didn't say anything wrong, and you didn't hear anything wrong, it was appointed by the ancestor!" Yun Chujin said.

So far, Yun Chujin still remembers the expressions of the people present when the ancestor suddenly designated Yun Hao as the candidate for the patriarch a few days ago.

That day, there were only some elderly people in the village present, and those people were more qualified to be candidates, otherwise they would not have joined in the fun.After confirming that Yun Chujin, Yun Qingshan, Yun Baihe, and the ancestor's great-grandson Yun Xingyu were candidates.

The old ancestor suddenly said coldly: "One more person."

The four people in front were all selected by other people. Now that the ancestor suddenly wanted to add another person on his own initiative, everyone present thought that there would be a more suitable candidate.

Some people even felt that since the ancestor personally appointed him, it would be no problem for the patriarch to let this person be the man.

Who knows, the old ancestor said: "That kid from the Yunhan family is also in his 20s this year, right? Let him also become a candidate for the patriarch."

As soon as these words came out, all the people present looked at Yun Hao now, their eyes widened, and they were speechless for a long time.

Yun Hao was stunned for a long time and did not speak. After the thoughts that were mixed together like a paste in his head gradually calmed down, he said, "Then what... the old ancestor...why did he choose me as a candidate? people?"

"Don't ask me about this, I don't know either." Yun Chujin shrugged helplessly and said.

"Didn't you ask your ancestors?"

"Why didn't you ask? After the ancestor appointed you, many people expressed doubts."

That day, after the ancestor appointed Yunhao, the first one to stand up and refute was the ancestor's great-grandson Yun Xingyu.He said: "Grandpa, this... are you sure you are right? Yun Han's son is called Yun Hao. He has come back all these years, that is, during the New Year and Qingming. He has done nothing for the development and construction of the village. What is he capable of?"

As soon as Yun Xingyu finished speaking, Yun Qingshan also said, "Could it be that your ancestors are based on education? Although Yun Hao is a college student, he is considered to have a relatively high education in our village, but he has a higher education than him. It’s not that there is no one, I remember Bai He’s son, he seems to be studying for a graduate student, right?”

"Old ancestor, why did you choose Yunhao as the candidate?"

Others also asked.

But the old ancestor just shook his head and said, "Don't ask too many questions. When Yunhao comes back, I will naturally tell him why. Chu Jin, you go to contact Yunhao and let Yunhao be sure to I have to hurry back."

This is what happened that day, Yun Chujin now narrates it to Yunhao to know.

"So, I called you and told you to come back quickly." Yun Chujin said.

It turned out to be the reason, no wonder that when the village head called him that day, he said cautiously and carefully that he must go to Yunjia Village as soon as possible.

Yun Hao couldn't sit still now. Ever since he knew that he had somehow become a candidate for the patriarch, he had been sitting on pins and needles, always feeling as if something else was pressing down on his shoulders.

Patriarch, the meaning of this identity is unusual for Yun Family Village.Although it is now a modern society, the influence of the existence of the patriarch is getting smaller and smaller, but the Yunjia Village is different. It is not an exaggeration to say that if the ancestors let all the people in the Yunjia Village leave the Yunjia Village, then, About 80.00% of the people in the village will follow suit!
