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

"Sturdy? Can I use 'turdy' to describe me? I'm a beauty, you know!"

Compared to the description of her as "sturdy," Yang Mimi finds it even more unacceptable that her mother is called "Er Ya."

My mother has always been a composed and dignified person, and her nickname is Er Ya...

"Her full name is Lu Chunli, and her nickname is Er Ya, just like you. Your full name is Yang Mimi, and your nickname is Xi Mao. It's the same principle."

Lu Jiangming glared at her, and Yang Mimi dared not refute her great-grandfather, leaving her speechless.

Nickname: Ximao? Yang Ximao...

Haha... so Mimi's nickname is Sparse Hair...

[Oh my god, this is hilarious! My mom's name is Er Ya, and my daughter's name is Xi Mao...]

[She comes from a wealthy and prestigious family, a true lady of high society...]

[Mimi is probably really depressed right now. Meeting this great-uncle is like a nemesis for her.]

……

The teachers couldn't hold back either, their faces turning red as they struggled to suppress their laughter.

The scene before me was both serious and funny, magically real.

Lu Jiangming respectfully presented a red envelope, which Lu Liang accepted and handed to Yang Mimi.

"Honey, here's a little gift for you."

Lu Liang knew Yang Mimi's nickname, but deliberately didn't call her that, appearing mature and composed.

Yang Mimi's heart tightened, and she subconsciously accepted the red envelope. "Thank you, Grand Uncle Tianzu."

One was old-fashioned and the other was very proper and polite. They exchanged gifts upon meeting, showing great courtesy and the air of a scholarly family.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became solemn and serious.

"Get up, everyone."

Lu Liang waved his hand and said to Lu Jiangming, "Tiedan'er, Teacher Wang won't approve my leave. You should talk to her about it."

Not granting leave? That won't do!

Lu Jiangming stared intently at Teacher Wang with his large eyes and demanded, "Why didn't you approve leave for my great-grandfather?"

It took Teacher Wang a while to react to just that one sentence.

"He needs to go to school. He's only ten years old. How can he not go to school?"

An elderly man needs to ask for leave for his great-grandfather, who is in first grade. No one has ever encountered this situation before.

Teacher Wang steadied himself and tried to persuade the other party by using his age.

Although you should call him great-grandfather in terms of seniority, he's just a primary school student in terms of age. I'm the teacher, so I'm in charge.

However, Teacher Wang was still in a state of confusion. What exactly was going on?

How could Lu Liang, this child, be this old man's great-grandfather?

Upon seeing this, netizens nodded in agreement, as if they had breathed a sigh of relief.

Ultimately, he's still just a child. No matter how high his family's seniority, he still has to go to school.

That's true, but it's really strange that a great-grandson would ask his great-grandfather for leave.

The problem is that this kid is too precocious; he talks like a little old man.

I'm so happy right now! I love watching Mimi call him "Grandpa Tianzu" so affectionately, it's so funny!

For this reason alone, I definitely have to keep watching.

[Grandpa Tianzu... Hahaha...]

Seeing that the teacher wouldn't agree, Lu Jiangming looked worried and sighed repeatedly:

"I know in my heart that going to school is a big deal, but this time the situation in our village is even bigger!"

"For such an important event as ancestor worship, my great-grandfather must be the one to offer the first incense stick; otherwise, the ancestor worship ceremony cannot even begin."

"Think about it, it only happens once every thirty years that our Luqian Village hosts a dragon boat race. If Great-Grandpa weren't here, who would announce the start of the race? And who could take charge and keep things under control?"

"And also, when eating zongzi, if Great-Grandpa doesn't take the first bite, how dare we younger generations even touch it?"

"Hanging mugwort leaves is the same. If Great-Grandpa doesn't hang them first, wouldn't it be disobeying our elders if we did it this way?"

"Even drinking realgar wine requires my great-grandfather to perform the opening ceremony..."

Lu Jiangming's face wrinkled even more with anxiety.

Those around were all astonished upon hearing this.

Why does Lu Liang have to take charge of everything?

Even with zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), he has to be the first to eat the first bite?

But isn't he just a little kid who just started first grade?

In an instant, all the teachers' eyes turned to Lu Liang.

I previously thought this child was mature and steady, but I never expected him to have such a revered status as a great-great-grandfather in the village.

"Is...is it really that important?" Teacher Wang still looked troubled.

But her words completely enraged Lu Jiangming:

"Don't you even know the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"You all know Qu Yuan, right?"

This is practically questioning the teachers' intelligence.

How could a teacher not know these common sense facts?

But Lu Jiangming's next words became increasingly harsh:

"Our Dragon Kingdom has upheld traditional virtues for thousands of years, such as respecting elders and respecting juniors. Do you still abide by these?"

"If Great-Grandpa doesn't come home, how will our village celebrate this festival?"

"If he doesn't come back, who can keep those thirty large villages in check?"

"It hasn't been easy for our Luqian Village to wait for this for thirty years. This time, we absolutely have to hold a grand and glorious celebration."

"What if someone comes to cause trouble? Our ancestors aren't here, so should we fight or not?"

……

Lu Jiangming kept repeating the same point: if Lu Liang didn't go back, things would get very serious, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

In this day and age, most people don't really value traditional concepts like respecting the elderly and caring for the young anymore.

But if someone values ​​it so much, doesn't that deserve our respect?

Teacher Wang looked troubled, but netizens started nitpicking.

[Is Lao Lu exaggerating a bit? I'd believe it if it were about the child being of a higher generation and appearing at the front of the ancestral worship ceremony.]

[The later claim of suppressing thirty villages is simply outrageous!]

[Can a little kid who's only a meter tall really command attention?]

[If someone comes to cause trouble, do we have to wait for them to give orders?]

……

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, the atmosphere became awkward.

At this moment, Lu Liang calmly raised his little hand, and Lu Jiangming instantly became as quiet as an obedient chick.

"Teacher Wang, how about this?"

"If you grant me leave, I promise I won't miss any classes."

"I will complete my homework and exams on time, and continue to maintain my top ranking in the entire grade."

"If I can't do that, I'll end the holiday and go back to school immediately. How about that?"

Despite his young age, Lu Liang came up with a good compromise.

The village affairs cannot be ignored, but the teacher is also worried about the students' studies.

Okay, then he'll try to manage both.

"If that's the case, I can approve your leave."

"But Lu Liang, you'd better keep your word."

After thinking about it for a while, Teacher Wang finally agreed.

She was actually a little scared. If she didn't approve the leave, it would cause a disturbance among the villagers, and she wouldn't be able to handle it. It would be a mess.

She herself didn't care much about traditions or sacrificial rites, but Lu Jiangming and the others valued them more than their own lives.

Although he couldn't understand it, seeing Lu Jiangming's attitude, Teacher Wang had no choice but to agree.

She quickly wrote a leave request, only writing the start date and not the end date, the meaning of which was clear: she would return after Lu Liang finished his work in the village.
