Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Qin Qinggui was stunned for a moment. He had a very good relationship with his eldest brother. His eldest brother and his wife had taken care of him since he was a child. Now, upon hearing the sad news of his eldest brother's sacrifice, Qin Qinggui could no longer hold back. The man in his thirties leaned his head against the earthen wall, crying so hard that his whole body was shaking.

The old man struggled to stand up and said: "No, I have to go to the ancestral hall. My son is a hero. I have to let him enter the ancestral tablet and enjoy the offerings of the clan members in the future."

Dabao was scratching his head. This ancestral hall was originally listed as a building that was considered “Four Olds”. It would be demolished sooner or later. If his father’s name was on the tablet, it would be quite a big trouble.

But he couldn't say it yet. Seeing his grandfather's face flushed with excitement, Dabao opened his mouth and endured it. Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.

"Grandpa, please go to the ancestral hall and talk to him. I'll go get some of my father's old things and find a carpenter to make a coffin."

The old man nodded and said: "This is as it should be. Although your father left nothing behind, you still have to put some clothes and other things in the coffin, and then bury it in the ancestral tomb. What was this called in ancient times? It was sung in operas, and it was called a cenotaph."

Dabao nodded. He had to go back to make some arrangements and then come back. Dabao took Erbao and the two little girls back to the commune.

Qin Qinggui was taking care of the old lady at home. The old man struggled to hold a wooden stick as a crutch to go to the ancestral hall.

The Qin family's ancestral hall is quite large. In the past, the Qin family's ancestors had high-ranking officials and several generals, so the ancestral hall was built in a very magnificent manner.

It's just that it's been worn out by the wind and rain for many years, and although the clan often repairs it, it's still a bit shabby.

Now the old man is the oldest person in the Qin family, but he is not the patriarch. The original patriarch of the Qin family was the third old man.

After the Third Old Master passed away, Qin Qingrong took over, so he wanted to bury Qin Qingyou in the ancestral tomb and place his spirit tablet on the altar in the ancestral hall.

It also needs the consent of Qin Qingrong and several elders in the clan, but the old man thinks that this is not a problem. After all, his son died so tragically and was a hero. According to the old rules, he should have a memorial tablet.

The Qin family's ancestral hall is very clean, and the ground is paved with bluestone slabs. It is usually guarded by someone, a nephew of the old man, named Qin Qingnian, who is two years older than the old man.

He was captured by the Japanese and was forced to work as a soldier. When he was trying to escape, one of his legs was broken and he lost his male function. When he returned to the village, he found that both his parents were gone and he was the only one left at home. He simply lived in the ancestral hall.

Qin Qingnian looked after the ancestral hall and cleaned it every day. The third old man didn't want to use it because he was disabled, but the old man and the old lady came to the door and scolded him. The third old man had no choice but to agree to let Qin Qingnian look after the ancestral hall, and all food and drink expenses were provided by the clan.

The old man staggered to the ancestral hall. Qin Qingnian was sweeping the floor with a broom. He heard the sound of a cane. He turned around and saw that it was the old man. He limped out to greet him.

"Uncle Qi, why are you here? When I saw you the other day, you were fine, weren't you? Why are you leaning on a stick today?"

Although the old man and Qin Qingnian are of different generations, they are about the same age and grew up together. They have a deep relationship.

He grabbed Qin Qingnian's hand, tears streaming down his face.

"Qingnian, something happened to our Qingnian..."

Qin Qingnian was stunned for a moment.

"Seventh Uncle, what happened to Qingyou? Isn't he a worker in the city? How did he get into trouble?"

He helped the old man sit on the chair, and the old man held Qin Qingnian's hand tightly.

"Thanks for his sacrifice..."

"What? Sacrificed?" Qin Qingnian was stunned. It was no wonder that he looked like that. Now it was a peaceful time, there was no war, and there was no foreign invasion. Therefore, the word "sacrifice" was far away from the common people and was rarely heard.

The old man wiped his face and recounted the story of Qin Qingyou's sacrifice. Qin Qingnian slammed the table fiercely. He was of the Qing generation, the second oldest in the clan, and Qin Qingyou was the seventeenth. There was a big age gap between them, so they didn't usually interact much, but after all, they were brothers who had grown up under his watch.

Qin Qingnian couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Uncle Qi, do you mean that my brother Qingyou should be buried in the ancestral tablets?"

The old man nodded,

"Yes, my son is glorious and a hero. His tablet is on the same level as our ancestors' and he will not bring shame to them."

Qin Qingnian looked back at the tablet on the altar.

"Uncle Qi, I'm afraid that our men's opinions are not enough for this matter. We need to find those old guys and Qingrong and discuss it together."

The old man nodded,

"That's what they should do, but I think they can't help but agree. This is a good thing..."

Qin Qingnian sighed secretly. The Qin family was divided into six branches, and the old man only occupied one branch.

It is no small matter to bury a young person in the ancestral tomb and place the tablet on the altar. It must be agreed upon by everyone before it can be done.

Although Qin Qingnian was lame, his mind was still clear. Some old people often came to the ancestral hall to drink tea and chat. Through these chats, he also knew about Qin Qingrong's recent affairs. So he was not optimistic about the old man's suggestion to let Qin Qingrong have a tablet for the ancestors. In his impression, Qin Qingrong was a narrow-minded, insidious and vicious villain. He would definitely make a fuss about this matter.

"Then Uncle Qi, I will ask the children to inform Qingrong and the others to come to the ancestral hall to discuss this matter.

The old man nodded,

"Yes! I'll wait here!"

Qin Qingnian limped out of the ancestral hall. He waved to the children playing under the tree to come over. He had never been married in his life, and he had no children, so he was very kind to the younger children in the clan, and the children were willing to be close to him.

Several children came over, and Qin Qingnian told them to go find Qin Qingrong and several guys from the branch and come to the ancestral hall to discuss things immediately. When the children heard this, they were all willing to run errands. They divided the work and decided who would go find whom...

Qin Qingnian turned around and went back to the ancestral hall. He saw that his seventh uncle was not in a good mental state, so he had to talk to him, drink some tea and chat with him.

While they were trying to comfort them, two children ran to the brigade headquarters. Qin Qingyou was not there. Only the brigade secretary Wang Tiezhu and the accountant Li Fangyan were chatting. The two children told Wang Tiezhu what had happened. Wang Tiezhu nodded and told the two children to go back. He would wait for Qin Qingrong to come back and let him go to the ancestral hall immediately...
