Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 622 Come here and let the ancestor hug you!
When Yang Zhengshan arrived at Xingyue Island, it was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. The entire journey took one and a half months.

It was close to noon, the busiest time in the dock and town. As the Dafu ship had just docked at the dock, Yang Zhengshan heard bursts of noisy noises.

Walking out of the ship's tower, Yang Zhengshan looked at the scene at the dock and immediately revealed a faint smile.

I saw a large number of shirtless men carrying goods in the warehouse outside the dock. Hundreds of men were moving all kinds of goods in and out of the warehouse like ants.

The circular and rectangular warehouses are connected together, covering an area of ​​more than ten acres.

On the east side of the warehouse is a market where many vendors have set up stalls and various foods are cooked in the pots.

Looking further north, there is a three-meter-wide straight bluestone street with shops of all sizes on both sides of the street, and various flags with the names of the shops fluttering in the wind.

Behind the shops are houses, which are neatly arranged into a group and form rooms of uniform size.

When Yang Zhengshan left Xingyue Island, the workshop there had just begun to be built, but he did not expect that it has become a large area now.

As for the original town, it has now completely merged with the dock and there are no longer any city boundaries.

"It's been three years since I last came back, and there have been so many changes!" Yu Qingyi couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the dock and the streets.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, "There are more and more people on the island!"

The reason why Xingyue Island has undergone such great changes is, firstly, because the population on the island is increasing, and secondly, because Xingyue Island has become a supply point for nearby shipping routes.

In fact, there are two ports belonging to Xingyue Island. One is the Xingyue Island Port in front of us, and the other is the Beihuan Island Port in the north.

In addition to Xingyue Island, there are four larger islands in the Xingyue Islands. After the Yang family occupied the Xingyue Islands, they changed these four islands into east, west, south and north circular islands.

The other three islands are ordinary islands, each with a population of about seven to eight thousand. Only the North Ring Island has been developed into a port.

The reason for developing the North Ring Island is that it is relatively close to the north-south and east-west routes, and can serve as a supply point for these two routes.

The port on Xingyue Island is not open to the public, and only merchant ships of Yang Family Trading Company and Tenglongwei are allowed to dock. The port on Beihuan Island is open to the public, and any merchant ship can dock.

In terms of port size, the North Ring Island Port is larger, capable of berthing hundreds of ships and accommodating four to five thousand crew members for rest and supplies.

But in terms of supplies, Xingyue Island is more complete, and there are also many high-end supplies, such as elixirs, weapons, medicinal materials, etc.

The Zhu family opened a weapons shop on Xingyue Island, selling various weapons.

There is also a large medicinal field on Xingyue Island, where many herbs can be grown, and even more than ten kinds of precious medicines can be grown.

As for elixirs, Wang Mingzhe is now the elixir master on Xingyue Island.

Therefore, Xingyue Island also has its own specialties. Although the number of these specialties is not large, they can still bring some prosperity to Xingyue Island.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi got off the boat and walked towards their home along the bluestone street.

They came back without informing anyone, and even the ship's owner, who wanted to send a speedboat back to notify in advance, was stopped by him.

Because once someone gets the news of his return in advance, it will inevitably attract countless people to the dock to greet him, which will definitely affect the operation of the dock.

After Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi got off the boat, many people recognized them. Many of them were extremely surprised to see them. They saluted them with fists clasped, and some even ran to report.

Before the two of them reached the government office, Yang Mingcheng ran over in a hurry.

From a distance, Yang Mingcheng shouted at the top of his lungs: "Dad, Mother!"

"Son kowtows to father and mother!"

This guy was like a child, kowtowing his head with tears and snot.

Yang Zhengshan was speechless for a while, "You are already an adult, can't you be more stable!"

"Get up quickly and stop embarrassing yourself here!"

With so many people watching around, Yang Mingcheng's action really damaged the mighty image of the head of the Yang family.

However, Yang Mingcheng did not feel ashamed at all, he stood up crying and laughing, "My son just misses his father and mother!"

Yang Zhengshan was both relieved and amused, and didn't know what to say.

"Let's talk about it when we get back!"

Speaking of which, they were away for too long this time. In more than three years, Yang Zhengshan had several more great-grandchildren.

"Master, Madam!" Qingxia and Hongyun were delighted to see the two men coming back.

"Yeah! Not bad, it still looks so beautiful!"

Yu Qingyi looked at the two good disciples and praised them.

"Hehe, we are still young, and our wife is young too!" Hongyun said with a smile.

"Dad, do you want to let the children come over to pay their respects? They all miss you!" Yang Mingcheng said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, "Okay, I haven't seen them for several years, you can ask each family to come and meet them!"

It’s okay with his grandchildren, as Yang Zhengshan knows them all and has taken care of them. But it’s different with his great-grandchildren. He doesn’t know how many there are now, and he can’t even remember the names of some of them.

He named the older ones, but he was too lazy to name the younger ones as it was too much trouble, so he let their fathers and grandfathers figure it out themselves.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi first went to the backyard to change into loose clothes, and then came to the main hall in the front yard to wait for their children and grandchildren to pay their respects.

First, the eldest son's Yang Mingcheng and Wang came in with a large group of people. Yang Zhengshan took a look and found that there were actually a few people he didn't recognize.

Yang Mingcheng and Wang had two sons and two daughters, Yang Chengye, Yang Wanqing, Yang Wanyi and Yang Chengzhen.

Yang Chengye and Yu stayed in Chongshan Town and never came back, but their children were all on the island.

Yang Wanqing married into the Qu family in Nanjiang Town. She came back before Yang Zhengshan left Xingyue Island.

Yang Wanyi was given to Wu Zhan's eldest son Wu Haiyang, and Yang Chengzhen married Lu Wenyuan's youngest daughter Lu Miaotong, and they all lived on Xingyue Island.

Yang Chengye's eldest son, Yang Qinyuan, is 22 years old this year. He married Luo Shang's granddaughter, Luo Keqing, the youngest daughter of Luo Zhen.

Now even Yang Qinyuan has two dolls.

Yang Qinyuan’s eldest son, Yang Jijue, is now three years old.

Yang Zhengshan now not only has many descendants, but also has several generations living under the same roof.

"Come here and let the ancestor hug you!" Yang Zhengshan waved at the little guy.

Yang Jijue pouted and looked at his mother beside him. Luo Keqing quickly pushed him gently and said, "Don't be afraid, Jue'er. The old ancestor loves Jue'er the most!"

The little guy then staggered towards Yang Zhengshan, and Yang Zhengshan picked him up.

The little guy was very quiet. He lay in Yang Zhengshan's arms without saying a word. Yang Zhengshan took out a Bingxin fruit and gave it to him.

Bingxin fruit only has the effect of resisting cold. Children can also eat it, and there is no harm in eating it.

However, children are not allowed to eat Sanhuangli, Yululingtao, etc. as they are too nutritious and children cannot bear it.

The Bingxin fruit was sweet and crispy. The little guy laughed as soon as he tasted it, and said in a childish voice: "Thank you, ancestor!"

When Luo Keqing saw this, her nervous mood immediately relaxed.

She was really afraid that her son would behave badly in front of Yang Zhengshan.

"Haha, so good!"

Yang Qinyuan was also smiling innocently beside him. Yang Zhengshan looked at the little girl Yang Qingyu again. She was only three months old. There was a lot of noise around her, but she was sleeping soundly.

"Dad, this is Sheng'er, and this is Han'er!" Yang Mingcheng saw that the old man didn't recognize his great-grandson, so he hurriedly introduced them.

Yang Chengye has five children: Yang Qinyuan, Yang Ruochen, Yang Qinming, Yang Qinsheng, and Yang Ruohan.

When Yang Zhengshan left Xingyue Island, Yang Qinsheng and Yang Ruohan were still in Chongshan Town, but Yang Zhengshan had been to Chongshan Pass before. Although he only stayed in Chongshan Pass for one night, he had also seen these two children.

"You are the only one who talks too much!" Yang Zhengshan said unhappily.

"Sheng'er and Han'er, I have seen them before."

As he said this, he waved his hand and called the three children over and asked them about their experiences over the past three years.

Yang Chengye was not on the island, so their child was raised in Yang Mingcheng's yard.

After getting married, Yang Qinyuan already has his own courtyard and his own home.

However, Yang Zhengshan did not ask too many questions. He just asked a few simple questions and let the children leave.

There are still a lot of children behind. Even if it only takes a few minutes to see each one, it will probably take two hours to see them all.

After meeting the children of the eldest house, Yang Mingzhi and Li came with a large group of people to pay their respects, followed by the children of the third house, and finally Zhu came with Yang Cheng'an and Yang Wanqi to pay their respects.

In comparison, the fourth room seems to be small in number.

"Where is Mingzhao?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"Well, my husband went out traveling!" Zhu said nervously.

"Traveling? Never came back?"

"No, I came back half a year ago!" Zhu replied quickly.

Yang Zhengshan frowned and looked at Yang Mingcheng, who said awkwardly, "I have been traveling outside for the past two years, and I come back for a month or two every year!"

"You don't know where he went?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Yang Mingcheng said: "I know, he is in Darong, and he always goes ashore from Songhe Mansion."

Yang Zhengshan thought for a moment, "What is this kid doing?"

He would never have thought that Yang Mingzhao was a traitor. In his impression, Yang Mingzhao had always been very well-behaved, and he was relatively stable when he grew up, not someone who liked to make trouble.

He didn't suspect that Yang Mingzhao was messing around outside, he just thought that Yang Mingzhao might have found something that interested him.

Yang Zhengshan did not impose many restrictions on his descendants. As long as they did not do anything wrong and did not fall behind in their cultivation, Yang Zhengshan would not stop them from doing anything they liked and would support them.

The third generation of the Yang family were not idlers who only knew how to practice cultivation. They each had their own things to do. For example, Yang Chengmao helped Jiang He in the government office, Yang Chengxian and Yang Chengyou were in the navy, Yang Chengzhang was in a business, and Yang Chengzhen went to the Zhu family to learn blacksmithing for several years. Now he opened a blacksmith shop on the island and worked on iron all day long.

There is also Yang Chengyu, this kid is now hanging out with Wang Mingzhe, and Yang Qinyong is also learning alchemy.

As for Yang Qinyuan, this guy is farming. He is in charge of managing the medicinal fields on the island and spends all day studying the cultivation of precious medicines.

Yang Zhengshan never interferes with these things. Everyone has their own favorite things to do, and as long as they are interested, Yang Zhengshan is happy to support them.

As for the nobility of the industry, that has no effect on the Yang family, because the Yang family's foundation is martial arts. They are martial artists first, and then other professions.

"Try to see if you can contact him. If you can, get him back as soon as possible!"

"You don't care about the children at home. What's the matter with staying outside all the time?"

Yang Zhengshan said.

He was somewhat suspicious whether this boy had settled down outside and found a wife?
What should I do if this kid comes back with a woman and two children in a few years?

Thinking of that scene, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.

The Yang family has a rule that does not allow concubines, and Zhu is the granddaughter of Zhu Changxing. If this gets out of hand.

Damn, my dear son, I can’t really break his legs!

But this matter cannot be discussed in front of Zhu, so let’s find this guy first.

Zhu didn't know what Yang Zhengshan was thinking. When she heard what Yang Zhengshan said, a look of joy immediately appeared on her face.

"Yes, I'll give the order right away!" Yang Mingcheng responded quickly.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly and started talking to Yang Chengan and Yang Wanqi.

Yu Qingyi, who was standing next to her, was looking at her eldest grandson and granddaughter. She was so happy that she took out various gifts one by one. Although they were all worthless little things, they were enough to show her love for her grandson and granddaughter.

After spending some time with his grandson and granddaughter, Yang Zhengshan asked Zhu to take them home.

Now that I'm back, there's no need to rush. There are still many people I want to meet later.

A moment later, Jiang He and Yang Yunyan came with their children. The Jiang family has quite a few children. Jiang He has two sons and a daughter. The youngest son, Jiang Feng, is already twenty-five or twenty-six years old this year and has already married and had children.

After meeting Jiang He and Yang Yunyan, Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi met several grandsons-in-law who lived on Xingyue Island.

Yang Wanyi and Wu Haiyang, Yang Wanning and Han Zhangze, Yang Wanyu and Wu Wanshan, Liang Qingqing and Han Zhe, although they are all married, they all live on Xingyue Island.

Liang Qingqing is Yang Yunxue's youngest daughter, and Han Zhe is Han Cheng's grandson, and Han Fei's son. This marriage was arranged by Yang Yunyan.

Han Zhe was sent to the island when he was thirteen years old. Yang Yunyan thought this boy was good and wanted to find him a wife.

At that time, the girls in the Yang family were either engaged or not old enough, so Yang Yunyan thought of Liang Qingqing, so she wrote a letter to Yang Yunxue to discuss the matter.

Later, their marriage was settled, Liang Qingqing married Han Zhe and stayed on Xingyue Island.

After meeting all the members of the Yang family, the sky had darkened.

Yang Zhengshan did not hold a family dinner either. There was no other way. There were too many people and there was no room in the yard.

Besides, the Chinese New Year is just two days away, and we can get together to have the New Year’s Eve dinner then.

The next day, Yang Zhengshan met with Luo Shang, Zhen Yang, Xie Yuan and Han Cheng again.

Xie Yuan and Han Cheng have both resigned from their official positions and are now living in retirement on Xingyue Island.

Han Cheng's position in Tenglong Guard was taken over by Xie Linxuan, who was the son of Xie Yuan.

The Tenglong Four Guards are a close-knit group, firmly controlled by the six families of Yu Tonghai, Han Cheng, Wu Chongzhe, Zhang Yuanwu, Xue Ping and Xie Yuan. Not to mention outsiders, even the court cannot interfere.

Now Xie Yuan, Han Cheng, Zhang Yuanwu and Wu Chongzhe are all old. They have decided to come to Xingyue Island to retire after training their successors.

Yu Tonghai is already a congenital warrior, so he can continue to be in charge of the Tenglong Guard. Xue Ping is still young, so it is estimated that after Yu Tonghai steps down, he will take over.

It seems that there are not enough positions for the commanders of the six families and four guards to be divided, but in fact there is no need to divide them, because the interests of the Tenglong Four Guards are not official positions, but the profits brought by maritime trade.

Although the positions of the four commanders are important, what is more important is the profits from maritime trade.

They had already had an agreement on profits, so as long as the six companies occupied the four positions, it didn't matter which one of them did it.

Of course, all this is based on the assumption that there will be no internal fighting among them.

The existence of the Yang family can just curb their internal conflicts.
