In a courtyard.
An old man who was over sixty years old was smoking a pipe, squinting in the sun, with his back to the door.
A black shadow came quietly outside the courtyard and stopped outside the door. The moment he saw the old man's back, he suddenly trembled and was unable to take another step forward.
He didn't know how to face his father in this state.
But the next moment.
"Coming?" The old man opened his old eyes.
He clearly didn't see it, but he felt the child's return.
"Dad, I..." The young heroic spirit looked at the old figure and suddenly knelt on the ground: "I'm sorry for you! I..."
"How many have been killed?"
The old man's hand holding the pipe was shaking violently, but he asked in a strong tone.
The young heroic spirit was stunned for a moment, and said with some pride: "Two!"
"two!"
"Hahaha, my son killed two sea monsters! Sea monsters that were more than ten meters tall!" The old man laughed with his eyes red.
At this time, another middle-aged man and an old lady came from the door. The moment they saw the heroic spirit, their expressions changed!
"Son, you..."
"Second brother!"
"Why are you crying!" The old man knocked his pipe suddenly, roared, stood up, and looked at the heroic spirit kneeling on the ground. Although tears were streaming down his face, he actually laughed: "A hero has come out of Lao Li's family. Cry
What!"
"My son killed two sea beasts!"
"Better than your grandpa! Your grandpa just killed a Japanese soldier back then. He talked about it all his life, was respected by others all his life, served as a secretary all his life, and the country supported him all his life! You are better than your grandpa now!"
"You didn't embarrass the old Li family!"
"When you get down there, you can pat your grandfather on the shoulder and call him brother! You can say in front of your grandfather that you are better than him!"
"Dad..." The heroic spirit raised his head and saw the sadness in the old man's eyes.
"Don't cry! You are the glory of our Li family!" The old man stood up tremblingly and suddenly said: "But you can't enter the ancestral grave!"
As soon as these words came out, the sobbing old lady was suddenly stunned: "What, if you can't enter the ancestral grave, will you be buried under the Great Steel Wall..."
For families with traditional concepts, when a member of a clan dies, he must enter the ancestral grave and sleep with his ancestors!
Unless he committed a huge mistake during his lifetime and was not recognized by his family.
If you achieve success during your lifetime and make contributions to your family, you may even be ranked first in the ancestral tomb.
"You know nothing! Long hair makes short of knowledge!" The old man pointed at the old lady and cursed: "Being buried at the Great Steel Wall is a sign of honor for one's ancestors! It is a good thing that the whole village celebrates!"
"Wherever my son is buried, that is the ancestral grave!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone took a breath of cold air.
This is actually...the ancestral grave moved for him!
Under the Great Steel Wall are the ancestral graves!
The old man stood up tremblingly, entered the house and slowly opened a dusty wooden box, and then walked out of the house holding a yellowed book.
Genealogy!
The old man took a pen and slowly crossed out the name "Li Daniu". Then he picked up the pen again and actually wrote Li Daniu's name as his grandfather's name, above his own!
This Li family is a big family.
My ancestors had many officials who were officials in a certain dynasty. On the first page of the genealogy, there was even a general who protected the country.
"Dad..." Yinglin was stunned for a moment.
"Don't call me dad!" The old man turned around slowly and said word by word: "From now on, you will be on par with your grandfather!"
"The Li family organizes training and those who kill enemies for the country will move up a generation in their family tree."
"You killed two sea beasts!"
"Before your grandfather! In terms of blood relationship, I am your father, and in terms of seniority in the clan, you are my uncle! Killed two sea beasts... you can pat your grandfather on the shoulder and call him brother!"
"Haha, I really want to see your grandpa's expression!"
At the same time, in the yard, the relatives who had been attracted by the silence and living nearby also came over. When they saw the dark heroic spirit and heard the old man's words, they all understood something.
They looked at the heroic spirit with sadness, but more with admiration and envy!
Family glory!
The honor that every family member dreams of!
In the 5,000-year history of Daxia, family values have long been deeply ingrained.
On weekdays, this is not entirely a good thing, because under the influence of family values, families stick together, which causes a lot of trouble for modern grassroots management.
But when crisis comes, this family concept is enough to keep a family standing and give a family an unbreakable backbone!
Let family members fearless of life and death for the honor of their ancestors!
Even death, as long as it can bring glory to the ancestors, is a gift!
In some areas, if you tell people that if you surrender to the enemy, you will be killed, some people may really not care.
But if you say that you are a traitor, you will not be able to enter the family tree in the future, you will not be able to enter the ancestral graves, you will not be able to see your ancestors when you go down there, and your son will not recognize you.
Even if Ling Chi cuts him in half, he will grit his teeth and would rather die than surrender!
This is a family legacy!
Five thousand years of inheritance!
The family glory accumulated by countless generations of ancestors and passed down from generation to generation!
suddenly.
"Plop!"
The old man actually knelt down!
At the same time, in the whole yard, the dense crowd of relatives who came after hearing the news, including the seventh aunt, the eighth aunt, the second uncle and the third uncle, all knelt down!
"Congratulations, uncle!" the old man shouted loudly.
"Congratulations, Grandpa!"
For a moment, the elders who usually knelt down to see this heroic spirit off!
A gift from the whole family!
The heroic spirit smiled, looked at the yard to bid farewell to his relatives, and whispered: "It's worth it, it's worth it... But, dad, it's a bit exaggerated."
"It's not an exaggeration, that's how it should be!" the old man said, slowly stood up and pointed to a lush old tree: "Boss, dig out the jar of wine for your brother, the jar your grandfather buried!"
The middle-aged man on the side looked shocked, and tremblingly dug out with a shovel and took out the old wine that had been treasured for hundreds of years and that three generations of people were reluctant to drink and were not qualified to drink.
"Don't worry, you are the pride of my whole family! You are my pride!" The old man raised his glass: "Don't worry, after you leave, if your wife and children want to remarry, we won't stop them. If there are difficulties in the future, they will do it again.
Help her. If you are willing to stay, our whole family will support her and her mother!"
"Whoever dares to bully is bullying my Li family, bullying me, an old fellow, and bullying my Li family's ancestors!"
"No matter how hard I try, I still won't agree!"
"When the child grows up, we will tell him that his father is a hero, a hero of the Li family, a hero of the country, and a good man who stands upright!"
"It is a great blessing to have you in our Li family!"
Drink it all in one gulp!
Later.
The precious old wine that three generations of people were reluctant to take a sip from was actually poured onto the ground by the old man, turning into alcohol and soaking into the slightly illusory body of the heroic spirit.
"Dad, good wine."
