The child's ancestor was exposed by Mimi's live stream at the beginning.

Chapter 2: Drinking Branded Wine and Riding a Three-Wheeled Motorcycle

At this point, he took out his watch and made a phone call to the clan chief, Lu Jiangming.

"I'm afraid I'll have to..."

Before I could finish speaking, I could hear the wind whistling on the other end of the phone.

Lu Jiangming shouted at the top of his lungs, "Great-Grandpa, don't worry, I'm driving now, I'll be there soon. The wind is too strong, I can't hear you, I'll hang up now!"

Huh? Who's in a hurry? I'm not!

Lu Liang picked up his workbook and slowly began to do his homework.

Lu Jiangming put the Nokia phone in his pocket and even patted it.

The three-wheeled vehicle he was riding had only three gears: fast, medium, and slow.

But at this moment, Lu Jiangming leaned forward, looking like he was going all out, and managed to make the three-wheeled vehicle go beyond its limits, as if it had suddenly gained a fourth gear.

Not only that, but when he got to the intersection, he even started drifting.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

The tire's metal rim rubbed violently against the ground, sparks flying everywhere. The scene was like an old man hanging himself—purely courting death.

"Great-uncle, please slow down, please slow down..."

Sitting behind Lu Jiangming, Yang Mimi was already pale as a sheet of paper from fright.

She was originally supposed to go back to her village to participate in the ancestral worship ceremony, but her parents used this as an excuse to force her to come back for a blind date, which she was already very unhappy about.

I just got back to my hometown, and before I could even get my feet on the ground, I was dragged onto a three-wheeled motorcycle and sped around on the road. Who could stand that?

However, as a streamer, she certainly created excellent program effects this time.

From the moment they got on the three-wheeled vehicle, the laughter from the viewers in the live stream never stopped.

Before driving his three-wheeled motorcycle, Lu Jiangming deliberately downed two ounces of liquor, displaying a somewhat heroic spirit reminiscent of the legendary swordsman who famously killed Hua Xiong while the wine was still warm. He even greeted Yang Mimi.

"Granddaughter, come on, let's go pick up your great-uncle!"

"Grandpa Tianzu?"

Yang Mimi was completely bewildered and asked with a puzzled look, "What are Grand Uncle and Grandfather Tianzu?"

Lu Jiangming rolled his eyes, somewhat annoyed, and said:

"Don't you even understand the generational hierarchy of nine generations back?"

"Father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great ...

"I'm your great-uncle, your great-grandfather, which means I'm your great-great-grandfather!"

"Granddaughter, you've always lived in the city. Now that you're in the village, you can't be careless with your manners. Your great-uncle is our ancestor!"

Ancestor?

My great-uncle is sixty-eight this year, and so is his great-grandfather…

How old would they be?

Yang Mimi looked completely bewildered, her expression like she had just eaten a piece of chocolate that tasted like poop.

[Hahaha... Mimi's bewildered look is hilarious!]

[What is "Grandpa Tianzu"? This title is hilarious, everyone!]

[But what exactly is the generational relationship of my great-uncle?]

[It seems pretty impressive...]

With the rapid development of short videos, the live streaming industry is also booming.

Yang Mimi was able to stand out among many live streamers and accumulate four million fans because of her genuine personality.

Take that question just now, for example; it perfectly captured her bewildered state.

Some netizens have already started taking screenshots, thinking that this is a famous scene that can be used as GIFs in the future.

"Oh, my great-uncle's great-grandfather was my great-great-uncle..."

Yang Mimi was really confused and could only memorize it by rote.

Seeing that she still looked dazed, Lu Jiangming added another instruction:

"Remember to kowtow when you meet!"

"Huh?" Yang Mimi's face immediately turned pale.

She grew up in the city and had never kowtowed before.

Upon seeing this, netizens began discussing it in the live stream.

In the eyes of many people, the act of kowtowing seems to belong to feudal dregs.

"Kowtowing... I can't accept that. I've never even kowtowed to my parents."

That's because your parents are open-minded. Rural customs are much stricter; you really can't refuse without bowing.

However, considering his seniority as a great-uncle, it seems we really should kowtow to him.

Yes, consider it a way of paying respects to our ancestors...

Seeing what netizens were saying, Yang Mimi reluctantly nodded.

Before we came, my parents had repeatedly told me that I should listen to my great-uncle in everything, and that it was only natural to follow local customs when in Rome.

"I see!"

She responded to her great-uncle's comment, and then began to introduce herself to the viewers in the live stream:

"Family members, you can see that. There are so many customs in my hometown, especially this year, the dragon boat race, which happens only once every thirty years, is about to begin."

"Thirty surrounding villages have joined together to host the event in turns, and this year it's our village's turn."

"There are also ancestral worship ceremonies where we worship the heavens, and during the Dragon Boat Festival we eat zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), hang mugwort leaves, and drink realgar wine..."

For people living in the city, the only thing they remember about eating zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) is that they eat them; they know almost nothing about other customs.

Everyone listened with great interest, eager to see what kind of spectacle the countryside was like.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jiangming nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, you haven't forgotten your roots."

"All of this can only be done legitimately if your great-uncle takes the lead."

"Like offering incense to the sky during a sacrificial ceremony, or hosting a dragon boat race... I'm too junior to command the scene, and I don't have the ability."

Seeing how highly Lu Jiangming praised this great-uncle Tianzu, Yang Mimi and netizens alike couldn't help but become more serious.

Yang Mimi and netizens were thinking: This old man from Luqian Village must be a highly respected gentry.

"Don't worry, great-uncle, I will definitely listen to my great-uncle Tianzu."

Yang Mimi, who is in her early twenties, is as well-behaved as a primary school student right now.

There was nothing she could do; her great-uncle's seniority was what it was, and above him was her great-great-uncle. Compared to him, her seniority was pitifully low.

"Yes, just listen to me."

Your great-uncle valued etiquette, rules, and pomp and circumstance the most.

"Our Lu family is a scholarly and wealthy family. As a scion of a prominent family and a lady of high birth, you must be courteous and respectful."

"People from all around are watching, and our ancestors in heaven are watching too."

……

Old people are often talkative, and Lu Jiangming is no exception.

But to Yang Mimi, his words were like a thunderbolt.

Am I from a prominent family? Or a lady from a distinguished household?

Her bewildered expression once again amused netizens.

[Honey, your great-uncle is hilarious!]

[A cow stepping on an electric wire—that's incredibly impressive! Turns out Mimi's family is rich.]

[More than that, she comes from a scholarly family, a lady of high birth...]

Oh dear, I misjudged it, I really didn't notice...

Various jokes and sarcastic remarks flooded the live stream chat.

However, seeing Lu Jiangming's earnest expression, everyone couldn't help but be skeptical.

"Great-uncle...so, are we rich?"

Yang Mimi asked with a hint of anticipation.

Her parents are ordinary office workers. They were too busy to leave home, so they sent her back. Naturally, the family didn't have much money.

Could it be that there are hidden mountains of gold and silver in my hometown?

Netizens quieted down, waiting to see how Lu Jiangming would respond.

"You're asking silly questions. Go ask around in the surrounding villages. Our Lu family is incredibly wealthy. We have tons of houses and vast tracts of land. We're known as 'Old Lu the Dragon'!"

"Can't you tell from my entourage? Look at my car, my clothes, and the Erguotou I'm drinking..."

As he spoke, Lu Jiangming took out a small bottle of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), gulped it down, and began to sway after finishing it.

"Who can compare to me? The clan chiefs of Lijia Village, Baliwan Village, and Wangjiaji Village all drink cheap, unbranded liquor... Only I drink premium-quality liquor!"
