Chapter 2458: History of the Chen Family

According to the usual practice, a big red candle is lit in the ancestral hall, a handful of incense is lit, and distributed to the relatives who go out together; as usual, I worshiped the ancestor's altar three times, and silently made my wish; in fact, the wish is very simple, just like the jingle said , "Hundreds of businesses are carried on two shoulders, and a pair of sugar bears eighteen changes; running around over mountains and ridges, only to make a profit to celebrate the new year."

I don’t know how many times the “Cizu” activity before the sugar knocker went out, but no one knows when the ceremony started, but before going out to worship the ancestors, the elders were present and asked three times and answered them in person. Circumstances, rituals are solemn.

"It's cold, take a boy to carry the burden; ginger candy is fifteen catties, and the Lantern Festival will come." The elders nodded, and everyone entrusted the elders to take care of the old and young at home. Helping each other, the children often accept the care of other elders, which has formed the habit of Yiwu businessmen who love to hug each other.

Many times when someone finds a way to make money, they will lead the villagers to work together, and the villagers also trust them. With just a word, they will take out the savings at the bottom of the box and invest in it. Unity, boldness, and shrewdness have made the legend of Yiwu businessmen .

When the Ci clan is over, they should set off, picking up shopkeepers and shaking rattle drums to do business around, and rushing home before the end of the year. If the business is good, the family will have a good year; Very bleak.

Chen Jinshui is the leader of the village. He was the earliest in this line of work. He picked up Chen Jianghe on the side of the road more than ten years ago. He happened to have no son, so he brought up Chen Jianghe and taught him how to behave according to the inheritance of the Chen family. When doing things, he seems to regard him as his heir; after the ceremony, Chen Jinshui led the villagers out of the ancestral hall, ready to go south and north.

Chenjia Village is planned to be built around a large pond. To the northeast of the village is a hillside covered by green trees and bamboos. To the south and east is the Yiwu River, which is full of mountain springs. It carries the childhood joy of the children in Chenjia Village: Jiangbin Tree The shadows are whirling, the green bamboos are verdant, and wild reeds grow densely all year round; the river is gurgling and crystal clear; above the river, there are dots of egrets and the birdsong is crisp.

My friends like to catch fish and shrimps in the water since childhood, and play in the water by the stream. When they catch big fish, they will be braised in soy sauce, and small fish and shrimps will be fried. It is not only a reward for the stomach, but also a childlike innocence. Great satisfaction.

Chen Jinshui, who was carrying the burden of the shopkeeper, found that today Chen Jianghe did not take his friends to play war games as usual, but was waiting for him by the side of the road. He stepped forward and patted Chen Jianghe's head, "What? Don't worry, I will definitely come back years ago, and I will buy you new clothes when the time comes!"

"Uncle, I'm not young anymore, let me go with you this time?" Eh~ Shen Long couldn't help shivering, how many years have I not been treated like this?

"Hey, you want to come with me to exchange chicken feathers for candy?" Chen Jinshui was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect the child to wake up suddenly. There are successors to his business, but he still couldn't bear to let the child Suffer with yourself, "This is not a fun thing, you are tired, you are still young, let's talk about it in two years, even if you don't go, I will drag you there!"

"It's not young, you told me so much, I can listen to it!" Shen Long snatched the rattle from Chen Jinshui's hand. Chen Jinshui's rattle was made of old cowhide, and it had been beaten with a small drum hammer until it glowed. It lit up, shook it up and rattled it, Shen Long cleared his throat and shouted, "Chicken feathers for sugar~~chicken, duck and goose feathers~~broken copper~~for sugar!"

The voice is clear and powerful, with strong penetrating power, far from being comparable to that of Chen Jinshui, who is already a little hoarse. Almost the whole village can hear it. The fellow villagers laughed and said,

"Jin Shui, with a voice like Chicken Feather, if you go out with you, your business will improve a lot. I think the child is not young, so if you want to go, take it with you!"

Chicken Feather is Chen Jianghe's nickname. Chicken Feather is cheaper than anything else, but it is the treasure of the Sugar Man. Chicken Feather is lighter than anything else, but he can fly into the sky with a gust of wind. It is hoped that Chen Jianghe will take such a small life. One day I will be able to take the folks to the sky.

"Okay! I also started going out when you were your age. If you want to, come with me!" Chen Jinshui asked someone to go to his house to fetch clothes for Shen Long to salute. According to the custom, he came out of the ancestral hall at the end of his speech. He was about to leave the village directly and couldn't go home. After taking it and saluting, Chen Jinshui took Shen Long out.

Shen Long wanted to help him pick up the goods, but Chen Jinshui didn't want to, he was afraid that the children would be tired; this time they took the north road, first went to Suxi, passed through Dachen, went north, passed through Zhuji, entered Xiaoshan, and went straight to Hangzhou to reach Shebei. At the North Road terminus of Nanxingqiao, from there to Jiaxing, Shanghai, Nanjing... until the Xuzhou terminus, the team is getting smaller and smaller.

Then, I returned from Xuzhou, and returned to Yiwu via Nanjing, Hangzhou, Fuyang, Tonglu, and Zhuji. It goes without saying that the road of knocking sugar is bitter and tiring.

Chen Jinshui told Shen Long about the history of the Chen family, "We have many bloody celebrities in the history of Yiwu, such as Luo Binwang, a literary genius known as the 'Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty', Zong Ze, a famous anti-gold general who left history, and the four great Jin and Yuan dynasties. Zhu Danxi, who is known as a famous doctor, has three thousand "Yiwu soldiers" who dared to fight against the Japanese invaders in the Ming Dynasty, etc."

"'Yiwu Soldiers' happened more than 400 years ago. It is recorded in the books that Wu opera was being performed on the stage, and it was included in the history of the country. At that time, the people in Yiwu were very poor, but God is enough. Our family name is Chen A lot of mineral deposits were found on Babao Mountain in Beilei, where the relatives lived, so they went up to the mountain and became miners. Of course, mining was more profitable than farming, but the poor neighbors were jealous. Thousands of people want to rob our mines."

"This time, the relatives of the Chen surname did not agree. We finally had some hope. Now you come to eat ready-made meals. Who are you? In order to protect the mine, the ancestors Chen Dacheng and Chen Lu led the whole village. A total of more than 3,000 people contacted Chenjiacun and other Sifang clansmen, and went to stop and intercept, triggering an extremely tragic brawl."

"There were tens of thousands of people involved in this fight, which lasted four months, and more than 2,000 people were killed or injured on both sides. Four thousand capable men were recruited in Yiwu at one time..."

When Chen Jinshui talked about the history of the Chen family, the fellow villagers all stood up and showed pride. The Chen family dared to fight, and the tradition of daring to take risks for a better life began hundreds of years ago. .
