Seeing that Labor Day was coming, Li Yuhang, Li Chengze, Li Chengxing and others drove back to the village. This time they went back mainly for the establishment of the ancestral hall and the road from the town to the village.
This road will be built with joint donations from Jianan Supermarket Group, Xinghang Real Estate Group, Jinling Clothing Company, Shiqiao Food and Beverage Company, Yushu Rice Company, etc. By then, this road will meet provincial highway standards.
.
It is worth mentioning that the Guocheng Investment Promotion Office is still very powerful. Although Li Chenglin has not moved his headquarters back to Guocheng, he has built his own production workshop in Pingdong Silk Textile and Garment Industrial Park.
Although Li Yuhang and others are successful people outside, when they return to the village, especially when it comes to such important matters as the ancestral hall, they can only listen quietly while people of Li Cailiang's generation and even the previous generation carry out the work.
Negotiate, they just need to listen, and the other thing is to make some contribution.
Originally, Li Yuhang could just let Li Cailiang decide on this matter. He would just pay the construction costs needed at that time.
It's a pity that Li Cailiang said that the ancestral hall is of great importance and that all the adult men from his family should attend as much as possible.
Shiqiao Village is also called Lijiagou. Eighty percent of the household heads here have the surname Li. It is said that the earliest villagers migrated here from the Kansai area during the Kangxi period. It has a history of more than 300 years.
For some reasons, the records of who the specific ancestor was have been lost long ago, and it is impossible to know now.
Li Yuhang and others established an ancestral hall this time, and their ancestor was Li Huaming, the great-grandfather of Li Cailiang and others.
Hua, Zhong, Qi, Wu, Zuo, Cai, Ze, Yu, Guang, Yi, Zhi, Jie are also the twelve-character generations.
Now the highest seniority in the village is Zuo, and the youngest already has a child of Yi. Li Yuhang's seniority in the village is still pretty good.
It's a pity that some ideological changes have occurred in recent years. The younger generation has become more and more casual in naming their children. They consider more about whether they sound good and no longer name them based on their generation.
This time, Li Cailiang contacted several elders of the Cai generation and several elders of the Zu generation to discuss the matter. He hoped that each family could standardize the names of their children, and in the future, after the ancestral hall is established, the genealogy must be entered in the name of the ancestral hall.
Generations come.
Of course, they are not stubborn and will keep pace with the times. Women will also be included in the genealogy. Those who marry into the village can still be included in the genealogy even though they are no longer labeled as husbands.
Although many rules can be modified, there is only one purpose, and that is to prevent people in this branch from forgetting their roots.
Of course, this is also because the descendants of the Li Cailiang brothers are now considered to be the most developed in the village, so they can have such a big say and do this. If it were anyone else, I am afraid that many people would ignore it.
This cannot be said about human nature. The reality is often like this, because Li Chengdong has a prosperous career and a bright future. Li Yuhang in the business world is also the pride of the whole village. The vast majority of people in the village have improved their economic conditions because of him.
Moreover, Li Yuhang takes great care of his own family. Whether it is Li Chengjia of Shiqiao Food Company or Li Yuyan of Yushu Rice Industry, they all rely on Li Yuhang to take care of them.
This year, some young people who started businesses in the village also prospered because of Li Yuhang's care. These people and their families all remember this kindness. If anything happens to Li Yuhang's family, they will naturally support it.
Although the younger generation like Li Yuhang are just listening in, and the elders have almost finished the discussion, they still want to ask for everyone's opinions.
Li Chengxing, Li Chengzhi, Li Chengze, Li Chenglin, Li Chengjia and other Chengzi generations who are currently successful in their careers will naturally take a stand.
Li Yuhang, Li Yuxuan, Li Yuyan and other people of the Yu generation also want to express their opinions.
As for the Guangzi generation and Yizi generation later, they were ignored. It was enough for these people to express their stance, because the parents of the Guangzi generation in the village were still there, so it was enough for their elders to express their stance on this matter.
Of course, several talented people and junior people have been discussing for several months, and things have almost been decided. This time, they just summoned the men from each family, explained the details to them, and asked them more questions.
A process.
The most important thing is that the construction of the ancestral hall will officially start tomorrow. Everyone will shovel the first shovel of soil. After that, the young people will do whatever they want. The construction here will naturally be supervised by the older generation. When the first day of the new year in 1996, this group of people will
Will go to the ancestral hall to worship ancestors.
This will happen every New Year's Day from now on. As long as this group of people is not extinct, ancestor worship will not stop.
Chinese people may not believe in religion, but respecting their ancestors is engraved in their bones. Worshiping ancestors is by no means some feudal superstition, it is our traditional culture.
Only by deeply identifying with our ancestors can we have roots no matter where we go, and we will not be like ordinary floating duckweeds without roots.
Li Yuhang doesn't have great feelings, and he can't be called an entrepreneur now. To put it harshly, he is just a selfish businessman.
However, he absolutely did not treat the villagers or everyone badly. He did not say that he benefited himself or others, but he took care of his own family as long as he could take care of them.
Although this guy has not stated that he wants to create a family, he is actually pushing forward in this direction. He is weak on his own, but with the existence of this ancestral hall, it serves as a link to make the whole family more closely connected.
With the subsequent development, the Shiqiao Li family will inevitably become a famous family, and no one dares to underestimate it.
Of course, this road is still long, and Li Yuhang still needs to adopt a series of measures to ensure the safety of the family. The Li family does not specifically target other forces, but it must also ensure that it has the ability to fight back when targeted by others.
Those present did not know the powerful ambition in Li Yuhang's heart. At this time, they would never have imagined how powerful this family would be decades later.
In the future, a family descendant writes a family legend on the Internet, and the establishment of the ancestral hall is established as a landmark event in the establishment of the family.
Although the concept of family had not been formally proposed at this time, and there was no one to talk about it, he laid the foundation for the official establishment of the family later.
Although we talked about a family before, each family developed independently. At most, they could only help a little, but they couldn't move their efforts in one direction.
With the establishment of the ancestral hall, ancestors are worshiped on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the development of the new year is discussed on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Everyone helps each other, complements each other, and develops collaboratively.
Through Li Yuhang, others can be driven to develop, and these developments will in turn help Li Yuhang.
Later, a family development fund was specially established to support the young generation with ideas to start their own businesses. After these people succeed in starting their own businesses, they will feed back the family, making the overall strength of the family stronger and stronger.
Here, all parties within the family will benefit from this, and it will make these people more confident when facing external competition.
Of course, the family supports only those who are capable. As for the mediocre people, it can only ensure that these people have food, clothing, housing and transportation.
