It's dark, the snow is falling, and thousands of lights illuminate the night.

Before the Wu family's New Year's Eve dinner, everyone in the Wu family will have an ancestor worship activity. Men, women, old and young will gather in an ancestral hall in the Wu family to worship their ancestors, which are actually the first generation head of the Wu family and the clan members who have passed away since then.

We still have to face what we have to face. Moreover, Wu Kou is still the leader of the Wu family at this time. He has to take the lead on some things. As for Chen Mo, these things have nothing to do with him. He will go ahead under the leadership of those servants.

This was the first time Chen Mo knew that there was a special place for eating in the dining hall.

Chen Mo never visited the Wu family very much. Apart from his own yard and Wu Ling'er's yard, he only visited Wu Kou's yard when he got drunk and knocked him out and carried him back.

once.

The dining hall is very large. A lot of people can sit here without worrying about the snow outside. At this time, several tables have been set up and neatly arranged. There is already a small copper stove placed in front of the table.

Central. Chen Mo did not choose to go in. After all, the master had not arrived yet, so he would not overstep.

Chen Mo, who was waiting for someone, smelled the maid boredly: "Where will you eat later?"

"Ah? Oh, we are behind the dining hall, but we are divided into two groups to eat."

"What kind of dishes do you have?" Chen Mo was curious about what the servants of these aristocratic families eat.

"This, except for some particularly precious ones, there are..." Xiao Lan counted the dishes with his fingers. The more Chen Mo listened, the more he felt that this dish was richer than the previous New Year's dinner.

Chen Mo thought that their ancestor worship would be quick, but he didn't expect to have to wait for more than half an hour before seeing the warriors and a large group of people return.

"Okay, let's start eating." Wukou walked up to Chen Mo, put his arm around his shoulders, and sat down with Chen Mo amidst everyone's doubtful eyes.

"Feifei, is this him you are talking about?" A woman the same age as Wu Feifei asked, holding Wu Feifei's hand. Wu Feifei had mentioned before that there was another guest in the house and asked them not to break into the yard when they were playing. Before

Wu Feifei once broke in and was threatened by military bandits.

She is Wu Feifei's roommate, less than a year younger than Wu Feifei. Because of their close relationship, the relationship between the two is quite good.

"That's him, look at his face, it's like someone owes him something." Wu Feifei whispered in disgust.

"Let's go over and sit at the same table with him." After saying that, the woman pulled Wu Feifei and walked over.

At the reunion dinner, there are no rules for seating, and everyone is seated casually, so the people sitting together are all people who can talk. Wukou, Chen Mo, and Wukou’s mother sat at the same table in person, and everyone else sat at the same table.

People sat down in groups, but no one came to the Wu Kou table.

Wukou was also used to it, and thought that there would be no one there, just him, his mother and a few elders who had something to say to him. There should be no exception this year.

Wu Long'en, the eldest grandfather of Wu Kou, and Wu Longsheng, the fourth grandfather, were the first to come over and sat down. Before the two old men could ask about this somewhat out-of-place person, Wu Feifei and her cousin Wu Hemi came over.

"Grandpa, can I sit here?" Wu Hemi said softly.

"It's not like anyone who can read can't sit down. Sit down, it will be more lively." The person who answered Wu Hemi was his fourth grandfather Wu Longsheng. The old man was very kind and there was no arrogance in his words.

"Thank you, Fourth Grandpa."

The two women sat down, and the table was almost full, so it was not empty. At this time, the servants began to bring the dishes one after another, and the stove in the middle of the table was also churning and emitting smoke.

"Wu Kou, who is this young master? You don't want to introduce him to us." Wu Hemi looked at Wu Kou and asked.

"A friend, as for the rest, you don't need to know." Wukou glanced at him and said lightly. He didn't say you, but using you means that he wouldn't tell others if they asked him, and he was too lazy to tell, including the current family.

The two oldest people here.

Although Wu Hemi has a sweet appearance and a delicate voice, Wu Kou does not give him any good looks, because she is also someone who has bullied her, and it is impossible for her to forget this incident just because of a sweet smile.

.

"This young master, my name is Wu Hemi, Wukou's cousin. Can I meet you, young master?" Wu Hemi didn't care about Wukou's face, and asked Chen Mo directly.

"A villager in the mountains doesn't dare to climb high." Chen Mo replied calmly.

Wu Hemi didn't expect that he would be rejected like this. In the past, when talking to other men, not many could refuse a woman with a sweet voice, and it was still so simple and rude.

"Ahem, Wukou, how are you doing outside recently?" Fourth grandfather Wu Longsheng interrupted a grandniece's conversation, so as not to end up in an even more embarrassing situation, and instead asked about Wukou's current situation.

"It's okay, Fourth Grandpa." In the family, Wukou is the only one who has no ill will towards this Fourth Grandpa, because he has never felt sorry for himself, and he is not the grandfather who bullies any of his peers, because he

There are no descendants.

Wu Kou heard Wu Ling'er say that the fourth grandpa was a person who loved the fourth grandma very much. Wukou had never met the fourth grandma, and none of the younger generation in the family had seen her because she passed away very early. He heard that the fourth grandma was

She is a very gentle person, and she loves Grandpa Four very much, so she married Grandpa Four. However, Grandma Four is very weak and often gets sick. She has been pregnant with children twice, both of which resulted in miscarriage. Later, she suffered from miscarriage.

She passed away due to the sequelae caused by childbirth, and the fourth grandfather never married.

"If you feel like you can't take care of both ends, why not..."

"Fourth Grandpa, although I'm often away from home, I don't have to worry about things at home. I have a good candidate to help me look after the house. You don't have to worry about this. If Fourth Grandpa feels lonely living outside alone, I

The Fourth Grandpa can be allowed to come back to live, but that's it." Wukou said calmly. Although Wukou had no ill intentions toward the Fourth Grandpa, he could not speak of goodwill.

"If someone in other houses thinks that they have this ability, I can give up the position of the head of the family, but do you have that strength? If nothing else, let's first bring up someone with a higher rank than me.

Let's do it." Wu Kou said it very straightforwardly, and his voice was not only meant for the people at his table, but also for others.

The people who were originally a little lively also became slightly quiet. It turned out that they seemed to be chatting, but they had been paying attention to the situation here.

"Wu Kou, this position was originally mine, but..."

"Grandpa, please don't mention the past things to me. I know some of the past things, but I don't need to know them all. Sister Ling'er's grandfather was the second eldest son, but he became the head of the family. Grandpa will definitely not be convinced, but

Grandpa, please don’t forget the rules set by the old man, whoever has the ability will take this position, whoever is the eldest son will sit." M.

"Sister Ling'er's grandfather passed the position to Sister Ling'er's father, and then to me. It seems that our room has always been occupied by this position, but you seem to have overlooked something. Every generation of family heads has that position.

The most outstanding people of this generation, it's just a coincidence that these people are all in the lineage of Sister Ling'er." Wukou revealed in his words that he was not the third grandfather, that is, he was from the lineage of his own grandfather, but he was the second.

People from my grandfather's lineage.

Wu Longen's face was gloomy, and he couldn't say all the words he had prepared. Unexpectedly, he had just started to test, and he started to attack head-on and face-to-face without giving himself a chance to counterattack.

"You guys are arguing first, I'll eat first." Chen Mo didn't feel embarrassed at all, and started using his chopsticks as he spoke. "It's not delicious to eat cold dishes in the winter."

"Interesting." Wu Hemi murmured softly, and the little pink snake licked his mouth.

"Interesting?" Wukou sneered.

Wu Hemi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that such a small voice could be heard by him, and said: "Young master has a good ear, is he a man of the world? The little girl is the young master who has admired the world for a long time."

"Stop your tricks. My friend will not accept your tricks." Wu Kou glanced at Wu Hemi. This woman looked like a lady, but in fact she was raising two men outside. This matter

, not even his parents knew about it. Of course, Wu Kou would not say anything about it, not because he cared about her feelings, but because there were some handles that were not used at this time.

"What's wrong? I'm really curious." Wu Hemi didn't know that his little thing was already known to the military bandit, and he still said coquettishly.

"Then put away your curiosity and eat your food."

"Come, let's eat our food. Let's eat something first to fill our stomachs. Then we will find a place to drink. We will get drunk tonight and then rest." Wu Kou ordered Chen Mo to eat and ignore them. "Mom, you eat too.

, I will also take you out for a walk when the time comes, don’t stay at home all day, it will be very boring.”

"Where to go? Zuixianlou? Is it open during the Chinese New Year?" Chen Mo asked.

"Of course, this place is no better than the places you have been to before. People in Changjing will walk around outside after eating at home. Tonight, Changjing will be lively until dawn." Wukou explained.

"Zui Xian Tower? Is that where the Jiu'er girl is?" Wukou's mother asked.

"Yes, yes." Wu Kou nodded.

"Then I want to meet you, mother."

Wukou looked at his mother's expression and knew what she meant.

Forget it, just don't stay at home anyway, so as not to worry about these people during the Chinese New Year.

The Wu family's New Year's Eve dinner was held in such a strange pattern. It was also the first time for Chen Mo to eat such a "special" New Year's Eve dinner. Chen Mo was thinking about what would happen if the old man who founded the Wu family was still alive.

What kind of mood would this scene bring? Is the temptation of power really that great? Just the position of the head of the family has turned the family into a situation where brothers are turning against each other. The seemingly bright appearance is not as good as the Guo family that I just met.
