850: C850 Chief Father

C850 Chief Father

Zhou Zhuo's gaze followed Zhang Yan's gaze. Other than that building, there was no other scenery, let alone a human.

"Are we still going to wait here?" Zhou Zhuo asked. Actually, she didn't have any intention of rushing him, but just as she finished asking, Zhang Yan retracted her gaze.

"Oh, oh, no need. My dad isn't here. Let's go and take you guys to see him." Zhang Yan smiled and said, "There will be lights today, and fireworks. If it's fireworks, it'll only look good at night. "

"And fireworks, that's great. I haven't seen fireworks in a long time." Indeed, in the army, other than having Soup Dumplings and a New Year's dinner, there were no other activities during the New Year, let alone having fireworks.

"I know you guys worked hard. Let me show you tonight." He could still put it on himself. My dad already bought the fireworks, we can put them on tonight. "

Qian Bin slapped him on the face and said, "That's not bad. I played a little bit tonight to see if I would be scared." After he finished, he would not forget to laugh out loud.

"Then tonight you must prepare your cell phone and record such a beautiful moment." Zhou Zhuo also laughed. He looked more affectionate than usual when he smiled.

It was rare for Zhang Yan to see Zhou Zhuo smile so brilliantly. "On the morning of the first day, we will have a very ancient ceremony here. I will bring you all to see it then."

When Qian Bin heard that there was something nice to look at, he became interested. "Really?" What an ancient ceremony. "

Zhang Yan cleared her throat. We will get up early on the morning of the first day, cook the dumplings, and carry them to the square, where we will have a Keating ceremony. "

"Is it a baby?" Zhou Zhuo asked, puzzled.

"No, no." Zhang Yan quickly waved her hand, "That's the day we must prepare the Soup Dumplings for everyone in our family." And then they are all poured into the large copper basin in the plaza. " After saying that, he pointed at the copper basin in the center.

"Then he will have to bear witness with the oldest elders and clan leaders in our village. He stuffed a small jade pendant that represented our village's Li-Fu newspaper into the Soup Dumplings. "Then mix the dumplings together."

"And then we'll all eat it. Everyone could only get one Soup Dumplings each. As long as you can eat a jade pendant from that Soup Dumplings, that person will receive a blessing this year. "

After hearing what Zhang Yan said, Qian Bin seemed to come to a realization. "Ah, can it even do this?"

Zhou Zhuo held onto Qian Bin's shoulder and said, "How can I not? I remember that there are some families in the north that have this custom. On New Year's Eve, they usually put a copper coin or a small piece of gold in the Soup Dumplings or dumplings."

"Then, just fill them up with cooked dumplings or dumplings. Whoever eats these dumplings or dumplings with special stuffing will have good luck for the next year."

Just as Zhou Zhuo finished his sentence, Zhang Yan nodded her head vigorously, "Yes, yes, that's about what you mean, but there's still a little difference on our side."

"Except for getting lucky. The person who ate the jade representing the Yan family village chief. and he will take over as the new clan leader. "

Qian Bin, who was drinking water, suddenly spurted a mouthful of water. "He was really shocked and hurriedly wiped the water from his mouth." Is it child's play for you village to choose a patriarch? "

Knowing that Qian Bin had misunderstood, Zhang Yan quickly shook her head. "Of course not. We still have more tests ahead of us."

"However, the prerequisite must be to first eat that jade pendant. Only then would he have the chance to be elected to the clan head position. Of course, there would also be other factors involved in the selection of the Patriarch. It's impossible for me to say that any child can become a chief once they've eaten it, right? "

Qian Bin was no longer surprised. "That's more like it. Otherwise, I would think that choosing a family head here is too child's play."

"Of course not. No matter what, he has to manage our Yan family village. How could he be so mischievous?" Zhang Yan smiled. "My dad said that as long as a person who has eaten that jade pendant can pass the eight tests of the Yan family village, they can successfully succeed as the clan head."

"How did you do such a good thing? Your dad doesn't want to be it. He'll definitely be free this year."

Qian Bin's words were very likely to be true, but for Zhang Yan's father right now, it wasn't something worth celebrating.

Zhang Yan waved her finger in front of Qian Bin. "If that person has eaten the jade pendant, but he doesn't want to be the Clan Chief. He can also choose to give up." If there is anyone willing to compete, then we will have the ceremony for the election of our chief next. "

"It sounds very lively." This was the first time Zhou Zhuo heard about the Family Head Election Ceremony, and it sounded pretty good.

"Yeah, it was really lively that day. Every year, the choice of topics would be different. Furthermore, the question of each challenge would be decided by the elder of the village and the previous clan leader. It is the expected decision of the outgoing clan leader. "

"Then doesn't your dad want to do the test now?"

"Qian Bin's concerns are always different from others. Zhang Yan smiled helplessly. My dad doesn't have any test questions, he's already been in charge for three years. My dad is really looking forward to it right now. "0

"You guys don't know, within these three years, the person that ate the jade pendant was either a little child or an old man. Right now, in the entire village, there was no one competing for the position of clan leader. My dad lost sleep over this a few times. "

Qian Bin didn't think so. He comforted Zhang Yan and said, "Isn't that good? If no one is to take over as the clan leader, your father will always be the clan leader.

"Qian Bin, you are wrong. After all, it is not easy to be a family head now. My dad isn't like those people who think he would brazenly go to the village after becoming a family head. To be the team leader was to do the actual things for the team. And my dad is old now, so I hope he'll step down and stop worrying about things in the village. "

Zhang Yan finished her sentence. He took a deep breath and said, "But these things are not what you want them to be. "Sometimes, when you do something and everyone complains about it, you do it."

Actually, as a local manager, many of the times he does things that are hard to do. "For example, Zhang Yan's father had done many things for the village, but had used them as targets when there was a dispute among the villagers. Thus, his father was very sad.
