Chapter 281 A towering tree must have its roots
After discussing the house building, Shen Zhiqiu also added another item to the family tree. Since men and women are equal in our clan, men and women can worship their ancestors together in the future.
He chose to say this last because he was afraid that the old men with conservative ideas would voice their opposition. As a result, perhaps the impact today was too great, and everyone said, "You decide, we'll listen to whatever you say."
After the meeting, everyone did not rest but continued to work. Shen Zhiqiu, Shen Youyou, and Master Shen collected the household registrations of each household and began to compile a new genealogy of the nine clans.
Shen Zhiqiu chose to use the family tree in the style of his previous life's tables.
It is presented in the form of a table. The genealogical chart is arranged from left to right by generation, and arranged vertically according to the number of descendants in each generation. The relationships between the characters are clear and the overall structure is tight.
The biggest advantage is that in the process of transformation, the relationship with one’s ancestors three to five generations ago can be displayed.
At this moment, the three of them were in the main room. The old tables and chairs had been repaired by Wang Fuxi. Shen Zhiqiu picked up his pen and wrote:
"A towering tree must have its roots, a river must have its source, and the descendants of Yan and Huang all over the world have a common lineage."
The "Nine Clans Genealogy" was compiled on July 2, Dingwei Year, the 52nd year of Jianwu in Daqing. The original Shenjia Village, the Shen clan, the Li clan, the Gao clan, the Guo clan, and the Wang clan...
In short, the beginning describes how they fled from their hometown to here, supported each other and united along the way, and this genealogy was specially established as the beginning, and there are some words of blessing for the continuation of generations at the end.
Tomorrow he will take this new family tree and household register to the government office to register.
And they also discussed it in their meeting. They decided that although the land was registered in the household register of each household, they would still reclaim the land and cultivate it together.
This was everyone's initiative. They just didn't want to split up. Even families with large populations, who had more land to divide, were unwilling to split up.
If you are willing to go together, then go together. The families with less land also have fewer people and less food. Even if they sell food or do business, the shares will be calculated based on the number of people. There is no such thing as who suffers a loss or not. At least all the people from the nine clans are not cheating.
Besides, there is nothing much to divide with the little stuff we have now. How can we divide three hundred taels? It won't be enough to live on. It's better to eat from a big pot.
"Dad, take me to the city tomorrow. When you guys are busy reclaiming the wasteland, I will take my sisters to set up a food stall to make money. When the time comes, just give Erhu, Erzhuang, Dabao, and Erbao to me. I will dress in men's clothes and take them to set up the stall."
Shen Zhiqiu was a little worried when he heard this: "We just came here and we are unfamiliar with the place. If someone bothers you, why don't you bring three or four strong men with you? I'll give you the big tiger too."
Shen Youyou nodded in agreement.
Shen Zhiqiu asked again: "What kind of snack stand are you planning to open?"
Shen Youyou: "The pao cake and xianlaomian stall. Now is the time to eat pao cake. Actually, I still want to make some liangpi."
Shen Zhiqiu nodded: "That's fine, but you have to buy thin noodles for the cold noodles, and it's quite troublesome."
"Just buy a little at first and try it out. If you can make money, you won't be afraid of spending money."
Since his daughter wants to try Shen Zhiqiu, let her try. He is still very confident in his daughter.
"Today I saw that there are still a lot of mature goat milk in the bushes on the wasteland to the west. Go back and see if you can use them."
When Shen Youyou heard this, she thought it was a good idea and said, "Dad, then you should go to the county town by yourself. Buy me some more buckwheat noodles, vinegar, sesame oil, sesame paste, garlic and so on. I won't go there. I will refine the coarse salt particles tomorrow and then go to the west to have a look."
Shen Zhiqiu shook his head helplessly, and his daughter thought of one thing after another: "It's okay if you don't go. I'll take care of it for you. You make a list so that I won't forget anything when the time comes."
Shen Youyou nodded and directly gave his father a list, including sesame paste, sesame oil, vinegar, garlic, buckwheat noodles, and forget about bitter buckwheat. After all, these things are malnutrition-prone and not good to drink, so don't cause trouble for yourself.
In addition to noodles, she also wrote about mung beans and soybeans.
I'm thinking of growing some bean sprouts myself and adding them to noodles and cold skin, which tastes refreshing.
We were so busy that we didn't take a break until about eleven o'clock.
Today, most of the men can sleep in the shacks they built, but they don’t cover them with straw curtains because it is too hot to cover them with them. The straw curtains will only be used when it rains.
Because everyone was very tired, no one was on guard. The cows were led into the newly built barn, the gate was locked, and everyone went to sleep. Except for the cart with a carriage which was pulled into the yard, no one stole the remaining carts.
The next day, when it was still dark, Shen Youyou got up to practice martial arts. Of course, not only her, but also her brothers and sisters, even Shen Yuanbao and the others got up.
Since they don't have to travel and have had a day's rest, they should put training on the agenda again. They will be outside the yard. There is not much room in the yard, so there will be no morning jogging or anything like that. After all, this is Tangjia Village, and they want to avoid being seen by others and being considered an eyesore.
After clearing the land and building houses, they moved to the west and were willing to do whatever they wanted, after all, they were the only ones there.
Old Mrs. Hua was indeed the biological mother. As soon as Shen Youyou got up, she also got up. She wanted to make some hot porridge and bake some coarse grain pancakes for Shen Zhiqiu and the others who were going to the county town.
The others were not lazy either. When they heard the noise, they all got up, washed up, and started to work.
Some were chopping wood, some were fetching water, they were still busy the next morning in Tangjia Village.
This time when Shen Zhiqiu went to the town, he brought Shen Mazi, Li Quan, Gao the Hunter, Guo Lao Da, his eldest brother-in-law, and Dashan Ye. The rest were a dozen strong laborers pulling carts, as they had to bring back the grain they had sold.
But if we go with the head of the village, we have to harness the ox cart anyway. How can we let others follow us? When harnessing the ox cart, Shen Zhiqiu thought of Mr. Meng again and said to himself:
"Old man, we just arrived and are very busy. When you are done with this, I will definitely come to see you and introduce myself to you."
The little kids are also sensible. Except for the three youngest ones, they wash themselves after morning exercises and the adults don't have to worry about them at all.
After dinner, Shen Zhiqiu led Li Quan, Gao the hunter and others, with their original household registration, the newly bound genealogy of the nine clans, as well as a big red sign and documents, to wait outside the courtyard of the village head Tang Wenzhen.
Tang Wenzheng didn't let Shen Zhiqiu wait too long, and the group headed towards the county town.
The breeze gradually turned into hot wind as the sun rose. The trees beside the official road were dense and lush.
Normally, each person had to pay a two-cent entrance fee to enter Fang County. Shen Zhiqiu paid the copper coins, and everyone went to the government office.
Because it was early in the morning, mouth-watering aromas emanated from many food shops on both sides of the city streets. The signs of other shops, restaurants, and pharmacies could be seen swaying in the breeze from a distance.
Soon the group saw the Fang County Government Office. As long as they went in, they could truly settle down and become local residents.
