Chapter 309: The ancestors have made great contributions, and the clan has great virtues!
After Jia Dongming distributed candy to the children, he turned and walked into the main hall. Jia Zhang immediately stepped forward, took Jia Dongming's hand, and introduced him enthusiastically: "Dongming! You are back from get off work. Come here! Let me introduce you. This is your uncle Jia Fuqiang, this is your aunt Wang Xiuqin, this is your fifth uncle Jia Fuchun, and this is your cousin Jia Dongfang!"

When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's introduction, he immediately greeted everyone enthusiastically, "Uncle! Aunt! Fifth uncle! Two cousins, cousin's wife, cousin, cousin's husband, you are all welcome to our home."

Jia Fuqiang looked at his nephew whom he hadn't seen for more than 20 years, with a proud expression on his face. He said to Jia Zhang: "Sister-in-law! When Dongming was three years old, you and my brother brought him back to the village. At that time, he loved to pester me and asked me to take him to get bird eggs. I haven't seen him for more than 20 years, and Dongming has grown into a big boy now."

When Jia Dongming heard what Jia Fuqiang said, even though he had no memory of it anymore, an embarrassed expression still showed on his face.

Jia Fugui saw Jia Dongming and felt embarrassed because of what Jia Fuqiang said. He immediately smiled and said to Jia Fuqiang, "Brother Fuqiang! I'm not saying anything bad about you. When you went to steal bird eggs, your uncle Wogen found out and punished you a lot. So you used the excuse that Dongming wanted to eat bird eggs to deal with Uncle Wogen's cane. You also have the nerve to say that it was my nephew Dongming who pestered you to take him to steal bird eggs."

Jia Fuqiang originally wanted to use Jia Dongming's childhood experiences to bring the uncle and nephew closer together, but he didn't expect that Jia Fugui would tell Jia Dongming the truth about his attempt to steal bird eggs in front of him.

This made Jia Fuqiang, who was speaking enthusiastically, feel extremely embarrassed. He complained to Jia Fuchun unhappily: "Fuchun! Dongming is still here, at least give me some face!"

Jia Zhang heard the conversation between Jia Fuqiang and Jia Fuchun, and smiled and said, "Fuchun! Although Fuqiang always uses our Dongming as a shield, our Dongming ate a lot of the bird eggs that Fuqiang brought back."

When Jia Dongming heard what the elders said, he remembered the meat and vegetables he brought back, and hurriedly said to Jia Zhang: "Mom! This is the meat and vegetables I bought from the market. Take it to the kitchen and ask Huairu to cook it. I will have a few drinks with my uncle and fifth uncle at noon."

When Jia Zhang heard what Jia Dongming said, she saw the bag in Jia Dongming's hand and quickly reached out to take the bag. She smiled and said to Jia Dongming, "Dongming! I'll take the vegetables to Huairu. You stay here and have a good chat with your uncle and the others."

After Jia Zhang came into the kitchen with the dishes, Jia Dongming put his briefcase in the house, took out a pack of Peony cigarettes, and smoked a few cigarettes for everyone before asking Jia Fuqiang, "Uncle! How has the situation in our village been in the past few years?"

Jia Fuchun is the village chief. He has the most authority to speak on the affairs of Jiajia Village. When Jia Fuchun heard Jia Dongming asking about the situation in the village, he thought of the villagers in the past two years who had to venture into the mountains to find food because they had no food to eat. A look of compassion appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but sighed: "Dongming! Life in the countryside is hard! In the past few years, the village had a big pot meal. Because we had no experience and believed those exaggerated rumors, the result was that the food that could feed everyone in the village for a year was all gone in less than half a year."

"Without food in the village, the canteen could no longer operate. Villagers had no choice but to venture into the mountains to look for food. As a result, some villagers never came out alive after entering the mountains."

"We have endured for three years and finally made it through. Although our life is still very hard, at least we have something to look forward to."

When Jia Dongming heard Jia Fuchun's words, he thought of the hardships that the Chinese people had experienced during the three years of famine, and said to Jia Fuchun with a smile: "Fifth Uncle! Difficulties are only temporary. I believe that as long as we follow D closely, our future will definitely get better and better!"

When Jia Fuchun heard what Jia Dongming said, he immediately nodded in agreement and replied, "Dongming! You are right. No matter how hard or difficult the days were, we have successfully survived. What is there to be afraid of? I believe that under D's guidance, we will definitely be able to live a good life without worries about food and clothing."

Jia Fuqiang heard the conversation between Jia Fuchun and Jia Dongming, and thought of the hard times they had lived through in the past few years. He nodded in agreement and replied, "Dongming is right. Although we still can't get enough food now, compared to the hard times we had in the past two years, this year's life is much better than in previous years. I believe that sooner or later, we will be able to live a good life without worries about food and clothing."

When Jia Fuqiang said this, he suddenly remembered another purpose of his trip to the city, and hurriedly said to Jia Dongming: "Dongming! After your father lost you, your grandfather and grandmother fell seriously ill because of this incident. Your father also blamed himself for this incident before he died."

"Now that you are back, you have become the only cadre in our Jiajia Village. See if you can spare some time to deal with it and go back to the village to burn incense for your grandfather, your grandmother, and your father. This way, your grandfather, your grandmother, and your father can rest in peace in their nine springs." After hearing what Jia Fuqiang said, Jia Fuchun immediately took over and persuaded Jia Dongming: "Dongming! Your uncle is right. The world is full of vicissitudes. Everything can be chosen and changed. However, there is one thing that you cannot choose and change, and that is your origin, your surname, your bloodline, your ancestors, your nation, your source, your roots."

"After the cow got lost, my uncle Yougen and Aunt Cuifang fell seriously ill because of this incident. Since then, their health has been getting worse day by day. They have been looking forward to finding you. Unfortunately, when they took their last breath, their wish has never been fulfilled."

"Now that you are back, and have become the only cadre with a certain rank in our Jiajia Village, I believe that Uncle Yougen and the others will rest in peace knowing your current status."

"Fuqiang! Fuchun! You don't need to remind me of this. In fact, I also plan to let Dongming go back to Jiajia Village before the New Year to burn a stick of incense to the ancestors of our Jia family and tell his grandparents the news that Dongming has returned home." Jia Zhang came out of the kitchen and happened to hear what Jia Fuchun said to Jia Dongming. Without waiting for Jia Dongming to answer, she immediately told Jia Fuqiang and Jia Fuchun her plan.

In China, the importance of the royal family is very high, so in Jia Dongming's subconscious mind, whether in the previous life or this life, he has always held the belief that the ancestors have merits and the clan has virtues!

Although Jia Dongming traveled through time from the future, in the future he was also named Jia Dongming. The Jia clan members in Jiajia Village, even if they were from a different branch than he was in the future, were definitely from the same clan.

After hearing the persuasion from Jia Fuqiang and Jia Fuchun, Jia Dongming replied seriously, "Uncle! Fifth uncle! No matter what position I hold now or what position I will reach in the future, I am a descendant of the Jia family. As for returning to Jiajia Village to worship our ancestors, I will do it even if you don't mention it. After all, my roots are in Jiajia Village."

When Jia Fuqiang heard Jia Dongming's answer, he was immediately overjoyed and said to Jia Dongming, "Dongming! Whenever you want to go back to the village to worship your ancestors, remember to send me a message in advance. I will prepare everything that needs to be prepared in advance."

When Jia Dongming heard what Jia Fuqiang said, he immediately guessed what Jia Fuqiang was thinking and immediately reminded him, "Uncle! The higher-ups are very strict about this aspect of things now. If I go back to worship my ancestors, I can only do it quietly and definitely not make a big fuss about it."

When Jia Fuchun heard Jia Dongming's reminder, he immediately remembered the policy from above, and immediately said to Jia Fuqiang: "Brother Fuqiang! Dongming is right. We can only do things like ancestor worship quietly, and we must not let outsiders know, otherwise it will affect Dongming's future promotion."

In Jia Fuqiang's subconscious mind, his nephew is now the only cadre in Jiajia Village. When Jia Dongming returns to the village to worship his ancestors, he must make sure there is a lively celebration so that people in the nearby villages will know that a great cadre has emerged from their Jia family.

Jia Fuqiang realized that his idea would affect Jia Dongming's future after being reminded by Jia Dongming and Jia Fuchun. He had to give up the idea and replied with disappointment: "Fuchun! Dongming! I understand. When the time comes, we will take some ingots and incense and go to the back mountain to worship quietly."

"Brother Dongming! The meal is almost ready. You should go to the old house quickly and move the table and stools over. There is not enough space for so many people at one table." Qin Huairu came out of the kitchen with the same dishes on both sides and shouted loudly to Jia Dongming.

When Jia Dongming heard Qin Huairu's shout, he immediately replied, "Okay! I'll go to the old house and move the table over. We'll have lunch in the yard today."

When the brothers Jia Dongfang and Jia Dongzhe saw Jia Dongming preparing to move the table to the old house, they shouted almost in unison: "Brother Dongming! I'll help you move the table!"
