Three days later Father Luo rarely dressed quite formally. He clearly took the ancestor worship very seriously.
Today was the ancestor worship day. The Luo family members would all go to the ancestral hall to pay respects to the ancestors.
There was an ancestral house in the old district of Yongji. If Father Luo had not spent money to repair it a few years ago it would probably have collapsed long ago.
Inside the ancestral house there was still Father Luos uncle living there. He was also the only remaining elder. However for some unknown reason that uncle was instead somewhat distant towards Father Luo and even showed faint dislike.
Even though the ancestral house had been repaired with money from Father Luo it was still the same.
Moreover the old man had previously come from a military background so his character and temper were explosive.
But today the old man had waited early at the door of the ancestral house.
Father Luo brought Luo Chen and took a taxi over. After getting out of the car Father Luo smiled and greeted the old man.
Fourth Uncle.
But the old man pretended not to hear and did not even look at Father Luo. Seeing this scene Luo Chen also could not be bothered to greet the other party.
At this moment the family of Luo Chens second aunt arrived.
Rarely today the second aunts family had somehow got a BMW over. Moreover the people from the second aunts family were dressed very extravagantly wearing gold and silver.
Fourth Grandfather. Little Hui got out of the car and ran towards the old man.
Oh my after a year not seeing you you have grown quite a bit taller. The old man showed a doting expression.
It was completely different from his attitude towards Luo Chen and Father Luo earlier.
Next came Luo Yuanfeis family.
For the sake of face Luo Yuanfei had rented several luxury cars today and parked them fully at the entrance of the Luo family old house. It was extremely showy.
Moreover today many prominent figures in the county town had arrived.
A Maserati stopped and the one who got out was no other than Luo Chens former little friend Zhang Tao.
Zhang Tao had been very close to Luo Yuanfei these past few days and even faintly felt like he had climbed onto a high branch.
Seeing Luo Chen Zhang Tao only nodded slightly. In his view Luo Yuanfeis future prospects were limitless and far beyond what Luo Chen could compare to.
In the past when he hung around with Luo Chen he had offended Luo Yuanfei. Zhang Tao now felt some regret. If he had gotten closer to Luo Yuanfei earlier he might have already gained benefits by now.
But it was not too late now. Sometimes standing on the right side could save you several years of effort.
Luo Yuanfei was such a side and as for Luo Chen?
Could an ordinary person compare to a police station chief?
Zhang Tao got out of the car and opened the car door for Luo Yuanfei.
Todays Luo Yuanfei was also dressed luxuriously.
He wore a famous brand suit and sunglasses.
Fourth Grandfather. Luo Yuanfei looked pleased with himself and gave Luo Chen a disdainful glance.
The old man however held Luo Yuanfeis hands with both of his and looked at him carefully.
Good child good good. You have added glory to the Luo family ancestors. You are worthy of the ancestors! The old mans wrinkled face bloomed into a smile.
The old man had previously come from a military background so he still held some traditional ideas from that era.
He looked down on those who took shortcuts in business.
Only if one could enter politics or the military would one be worthy of the ancestors.
Because the Luo family ancestors had once produced high officials.
When Father Luo was young he had the opportunity but in the end Father Luo gave it up and went into business instead.
This made the old man immediately dislike Father Luo thinking he had disgraced the ancestors.
Learning that Luo Yuanfei had now been promoted to station chief Old Master Luo naturally liked him especially. He thought this was promising and added glory to the ancestors faces.
Luo Yuanfei naturally also felt his face was infinitely glorious.
Fourth Grandfather today many people from the city will come to congratulate me. Luo Yuanfei deliberately said this very loudly for fear that others would not hear.
In fact as soon as Luo Yuanfei got out of the car he was surrounded by a large group of people appearing like the moon surrounded by stars.
Only Father Luo and Luo Chen stood alone on the side looking out of place.
Good good Dafu you gave birth to a good son. You have brought honour to the Luo family. The old man held Luo Dafu and kept praising him.
After the ancestor worship came the banquet. This time it could be said to be the liveliest ancestor worship of the Luo family.
Because many prominent figures from the city had come. After all Luo Yuanfei was young and was about to be promoted to the position of station chief. Who knew how high he could climb in the future.
In the main hall of the ancestral house everyone took their seats one after another. Luo Yuanfei went in and out busily greeting people.
Dafu not bad. You can teach such a son. His future prospects are limitless. The old man sat on the grandmasters chair with joy still overflowing on his face.
Where where. Compared to third brother I am far behind. Luo Dafu smiled.
Humph. When mentioning Father Luo the old man gave a cold snort and his face sank at once.
Third you feel you are worthy of the ancestors?
If it were not for a woman back then how could you have fallen to todays state? The old man scolded Father Luo without mercy.
When Luo Chen heard this he frowned slightly.
But Father Luo raised his hand and patted Luo Chen indicating that Luo Chen should not speak.
Third I heard a few days ago that Luo Chen for the sake of a woman did not even care about the family business and actually ran to Tongzhou? The old man asked again.
The child has grown up. Let them be. Father Luo said somewhat embarrassed.
Third look at Dafus son. Look at how many people in the city are now currying favour with him?
Look at you and your son again. You were for a woman and your son is also for a woman. Now both of you have achieved nothing! The old mans words were a bit excessive.
But after all the old mans generation was there. Father Luo pressed Luo Chens shoulder with one hand while nodding in agreement.
Fourth Grandfather you should not talk about third uncle anymore. If you ask me a dragon begets a dragon a phoenix begets a phoenix and a mouse is born to dig holes! Luo Yuanfei came back at this time and spoke sarcastically.
In his meaning who was the dragon and phoenix and who was the mouse did not need to be said clearly.
When adults speak children should not interrupt. Zhang Dafu deliberately scolded but his face showed some gloating.
Third look at Dafus family education. Look at yours again! Alas you are ashamed before the ancestors! The old man sighed.
Old Master your generation is high so I should not contradict you. But my father and I have been proper and quiet since we came here. You praise with one hand and then step on our father and son with the other foot. Is that not a bit too much? Luo Chen finally could not hold back and spoke.
Look at you look at you! The old man was so angry that his white beard trembled.
What about me? From beginning to end my father and I sat here without saying a word. You open and close your mouth saying I have no family education?
I would like to ask where exactly have my father and I offended you? Luo Chen was not like Father Luo who would swallow his anger.
Luo Chen that is Fourth Grandfather. He is of your grandfathers generation. Is this how you speak to your grandfathers generation? Luo Dafu stood out at this time and scolded. Rebellious son you rebellious son! The old man was also put in a difficult position by Luo Chens few words and immediately pointed at Luo Chen and said.
