Official career: From director to secretary, I want to improve myself

Chapter 199 Others rely on their parents, but I rely on my son?!

After hearing what he said, the others also came to their senses.

Yes!

He is an official and holds a high position. Can he participate in this matter and show his face in public?

They are discussing this passionately here, and it would be a mistake if others could not come forward.

"Indeed, we still need to ask for their opinions!"

"Third brother, go ask them if they've come. If they have, go ask for their opinion."

The old man sitting in the first seat nodded and made arrangements.

"Okay! I'll go right away!"

An old man walked out of the room.

"Since we're talking about this, let's also discuss opening a new page in the family tree for Jiang Yuan and enshrining him on the ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall according to the first branch of the family."

"I agree. We should dedicate a separate page to the genealogy of the First Class Meritorious Service. This has been passed down for a long time and is known to millions. We cannot be an exception! This is the most important measure to encourage our younger generations to contribute to the country. We cannot fall behind!"

"I agree, but their family situation is so special. And I don't think this young man is the type to be high-profile, so he's likely to reject our proposal. If he wanted to, he would have agreed to it long ago!"

"I think if he doesn't agree, we can start over from his father's perspective. This is the same, and it's very low-key!"

"Indeed, this is a good idea. Tell him both options!"

"Okay, go ask one more person! The others continue discussing the selection of the second main incense master!"

A group of old people in the room continued to argue.

...........

Outside the house, in a teahouse, Jiang Yuan and his family were looking at the scenery of the water town.

Anhe County has an Anhe River running through the city, bringing abundant water resources. Yaoshan Town is located on a small alluvial plain, and a large amount of farmland has been reclaimed.

The pastoral scenery and Fengshan Mountain in the distance complement each other and are very beautiful!

"Cousin! Aunt! Cousin!"

"You guys are here too?!"

Turning around, they saw a girl standing at the door of the teahouse looking at them in surprise, then turned around and shouted.

"Dad, Mom! My cousin and aunt are here!"

After a shout, a group of people walked in.

This girl is Jiang Yang's sister, but she is actually an only child.

Jiang Yang is the child of her eldest uncle. Unfortunately, the two elderly people in the family passed away many years ago, so Jiang Yang's second uncle, who is also her father, took him back and raised him.

He is an orphan, but not an entire family. This family gives him just as much warmth as before.

Moreover, the tuition fees and other expenses are all paid by the Jiang family academic fund.

"Xiaoyuan, you're back too?!"

"Auntie San, I'm relatively free lately, so I came back."

Jiang Yuan smiled and greeted several close relatives, and only nodded to others he was not familiar with. They all had the surname Jiang, but there were so many people in the Jiang family, and many of them would never see each other again in their lives, so they really couldn't recognize them.

"When will our Jiang Yang be free? He said he was on duty during the Chinese New Year and didn't come back."

"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll definitely let him go home next year. I asked him about it before, and he told me he came back on his own, so I didn't care. I didn't expect this guy to lie to me."

"Row!"

After asking about the matter, Second Aunt turned around and started talking to Li Yi and the others.

The only one who cares is Jiang Yang.

"Cousin, how is my brother Yangyang doing in your Pingkang County? Is he very powerful now?"

The little cousin asked Jiang Yuan about Jiang Yang's situation, and Jiang Yuan told her.

"Secretary Jiang! Secretary Jiang! I finally found you!"

A young man ran over breathlessly, and seeing Jiang Yuan's happy face, he spoke anxiously.

"Secretary Jiang, Third Uncle is looking for you, come with me!"

As he said this, he was about to pull Jiang Yuan away.

"Hey, hey, hey, please wait a moment. What does Third Uncle want to talk to me about?"

"I don't know, but you'll find out when you get to him."

"dad?"

Jiang Yuan turned to look at his father, but Jiang Mu didn't know what was going on and shook his head.

"Go with him. Third Uncle must be looking for you. We'll wait here for your grandfather and uncle!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Yuan nodded and followed the young man out of the teahouse.

Soon, they arrived in front of their third uncle who was anxiously waiting for news.

"Third Uncle, this is Secretary Jiang Yuanjiang from the photo you gave me!"

"Hello, Third Uncle!"

Jiang Yuan bowed slightly to him.

Third Uncle looked at Jiang Yuan carefully and laughed.

"Hahaha, he's truly worthy of being our Jiang family's Qilin son. He's so handsome and talented!"

"Come on, let's go into this room. We have something at the ancestral hall that we need your opinion on."

"it is good!"

"Then Third Uncle, I'll get back to my work!"

The young man said something and turned around to do his own thing.

Jiang Yuan helped the old man into a room.

The two sat down separately.

"Jiang Yuan, we're so lucky to have you back for this year's ancestral worship. I came to you today to ask you something. We uncles have discussed it and decided that you should be the first to burn incense to comfort our ancestors in heaven! But because of your status, I'm wondering if you can be the first to burn incense?"

Although the third uncle was old, he spoke clearly and asked Jiang Yuan for his opinion.

Jiang Yuan was very surprised to hear this. Every year, the first person to burn incense was someone who had a great influence in the clan. He had never thought that his uncles would want him to be the first to burn incense.

He smiled helplessly.

"Uncle Three, I'm sorry I can't do what you all wish. I really can't agree to this. Firstly, an event with thousands of people definitely needs a highly respected person in the clan to preside over it. Secondly, it's not easy for me to do this given my position. This is the custom here, but in other places, it seems a bit feudal and superstitious."

"So, uncles, please find someone better!"

"Okay, I understand this. We understand! Your future is more important. Our clan may not be able to support you, but we won't cause any trouble for you either!"

"There's one more thing. The clan has decided to give you or your father a new page in the family tree. After all, you're a first-class hero. We have to follow this custom. It's also a lesson for the younger generations in the clan!"

"So, you choose!"

Third Uncle looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile.

"what?"

This doesn't give him any choice to refuse!

Jiang Yuan smiled helplessly.

"Well, let's start with my dad!"

"Okay, I was originally thinking of starting with your grandfather, but he's also the head of your branch, so we can't change it. Let's start with your father. Your name will also be placed under the ancestral tablet along with the first-class merit plaque."

"Besides, it's better not to bother two people with the same thing. Tell your grandfather to prepare to be the first to offer incense today!"

...

"What? Take a page from my family tree?!"

Jiang Mu was surprised.

"Others rely on their parents, but I rely on my son?!"
