Chapter 3

Restoring an old house takes little effort at all.

Not long after, Jiang Chengdong brought a dozen or so Jiang family members to help Jiang Lin repair the house.

Jiang Lin took out 30 yuan from the suitcase, and then walked towards Jiang Chengdong.

"Brother Dong, thank you. These are wages for the big guy, please accept them."

Looking at the three strips that Jiang Lin handed over, Jiang Chengdong knew it was 30 yuan, but he straightened his face:

"Brother Lin, let's not talk about it as cousins. As fellow villagers in our hometown, everyone will help whenever something happens, no matter how much money they get. Isn't this looking down on us?"

Jiang Lin was startled, and then collected the money wisely.

"I'm sorry, Brother Dong, I'm used to it in the United States."

As a modern person, when someone comes to do something for you, you have to pay some wages. However, in this era, most clans help each other without charging any money.

After thinking about it, Jiang Lin said:

"Everyone helps me fix the house, and I have to express it, so let's treat everyone to a meal."

"Brother Lin, this help is what we should have done, so there is no need to spend money." Jiang Chengdong said with a frown.

Others also echoed: "Yes, yes, everything should be done."

Jiang Lin laughed: "But I still want to invite the patriarch and the others to come over and let me get acquainted with my brothers and sisters, so go and call all the brothers and sisters of the big guy, I'll set up a banquet at the door later, if you don't come, you won't give me face."

As soon as the words came out, everyone felt that it made sense, so they had to go home and call their family members over, and help those who needed help first.

But this time for dinner, Jiang Lin invited not only those who helped him, but also the elders of the Jiang family.

The meal was ordered at the best restaurant in the town, and it cost Jiang Lin 40 yuan.

At the gate of Jiang Lin's new home, there was a lot of excitement for a while. The clan elders and a dozen helpers and their families were all invited by Jiang Lin. There were hundreds of people.

Eight or nine tables were set up, and many children stared at the meat dishes on the table, swallowing for a while, but the elders did not speak, and none of them dared to move.

Jiang Lin walked to the table where the patriarch and elders were sitting, holding a glass of rice wine in his hand. This is a famous rice wine from Shanyin, and it is said that it once entered the palace.

"Uncle, thank you for letting me come back. My nephew respects you for the first glass of wine."

The old patriarch's eyes narrowed in laughter: "Brother Lin came back with your father's last wish. Of course he must return to our own home. You are right to come back."

After saying that, he drank a cup of rice wine, but from his eyes, he could still see some regrets. Egoyokawa's not coming back might have always been his heartache.

"Okay, let's eat, everyone. This is Brother Lin's first meal back in the clan, so be happy."

When the old patriarch spoke, the children cheered, and then quickly started working hard on the food on the table.

The clan elders didn't often eat the food in the restaurants in the town, and they all ate happily, nodding from time to time, and smiling at Jiang Lin to show it.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. Let's eat and drink well today."

"Brother Lin, where are you talking?"

The brothers and sisters who helped out signaled one after another.

After a meal, Jiang Lin became acquainted with everyone.

But while everyone was chatting, Jiang Lin faintly heard a familiar name.

"...Let me tell you, this Daoist Ma Madi is my cousin's master, of course he can catch zombies."

"I heard from my cousin that they often encounter zombie female ghosts and the like, and they are not the opponents of Ma Ma Dao."

"What, a female ghost? Isn't she pretty? Your cousin has never touched a female ghost?"

"Hey, she's not pretty. If you meet her, you might die before you even see her. You dare to even think about her as a female ghost. You are so brave."

Hearing the name Ma Madi, Jiang Lin recalled it carefully, and then his face suddenly changed.

He quickly rushed to the table where they were chatting and took a closer look. It was Xiao San'er who was bragging about his cousin.

Jiang Lin didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly asked, "Xiao San'er, what did you say your cousin's master was called?"

Xiao San'er was stunned and said, "Master Dao Ma Ma, he is a well-known Taoist exorcist here in the south of the Yangtze River. Brother Lin, let me tell you, my cousin Zhu Qiang studied under his old man, and he is very powerful. gone."

"Ma Madi, Ma Madi, isn't this the music zombie? Could it be that I came to the world of the music zombie?"

Jiang Lin walked to the side, took a deep breath, and was a little dumbfounded. It seems that the coachman who brought him over did not lie to him. There are really zombies in this world, not only zombies, but also female ghosts.

"No wonder the system gave me a thousand-year-old mahogany sword. It's been set up a long time ago."

After drinking and eating, everyone returned home happily.

The next day, the clan leader held a ceremony for Jiang Lin to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. Those who came to witness the ceremony, in addition to the elders of the Jiang family and many clan members, were the mayor and village elders of Nanming Town.

Village elders are different from clan elders. Village elders are highly respected people in the town. They are basically old people of some status in the town. There is even a Juren from the Daoguang period, but he is too old. A villager will not appear.

"This must be Mr. Jiang Lin who came back from overseas. He is really a good-looking talent." The mayor's name is Jiang Wangyuan. His surname seems to be Jiang, but he has nothing to do with the Jiang family. He is over 60 years old, and he looks a little old.

Jiang Lin was dressed in a black suit, and he looked like a rich young man in the provincial capital. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell his identity. Jiang Wangyuan also heard that Jiang Lin was extraordinary, so he came here to take a look.

"The mayor is overly praised."

After a simple greeting to the mayor, the ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan began.

Jiang Lin bought all the animals, as well as ingot candles and a lot of them.

"Fire the cannon."

"Genealogy please."

"Worshiping the ancestors."

Recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan basically consisted of these three steps, which Jiang Lin completed meticulously.

"Okay, the recognition of the ancestors is completed, and Jiang Lin will return to my Jiang family in the future." After the patriarch announced, everyone relaxed at once. The ancestor worship is not only done by Jiang Lin alone, but also by others. The people of the family should also worship their ancestors together, and etiquette is indispensable.

Afterwards, there was a banquet, and all the mayors and village elders who came to witness the ceremony had to attend. Fortunately, Jiang Lin had already ordered meals in the restaurant.

There were more people at the banquet this time, if Jiang Lin hadn't returned to reality in advance to prepare Dayang, maybe the money he had left would not be enough for this banquet.

The main reason was that Jiang Lin wanted to really treat the clan members to a meal, so he had communicated with the clan leader in advance. Otherwise, most people would recognize their ancestors and return to the clan, so there would be no need to hold a banquet. At most, they would invite a few respected clan elders to have a meal.

Thousands of people from the Jiang family came to this banquet, which almost overwhelmed the restaurants in the town. In the end, the Jiang family had to help out and slaughtered dozens of animals.

After the banquet, Jiang Lin's bag was completely empty.

"Relying on reality is not a long-term solution after all. It seems that I have to exchange some good things for some money."

Jiang Lin brought many good things, all of which were modern handicrafts made of synthetic jade.

In this era, there is no way to synthesize jade. If his things were sold, they would definitely be worth a lot of money.
