The Amazing son in law Chapter 1980

As the primary family, it is essential to conduct ancestor worship ceremonies to gather members from the extended family at regular intervals.

These gatherings allow relatives to connect and, after collectively honoring their common ancestor, they strengthen their bloodline ties.

This practice is vital for the continued unity and strength of large families.

In the case of the Wade family, they not only hold an ancestor worship ceremony every twelve years but also take the opportunity to update the entire Wade family genealogy during this event.

In the time between these twelve-year intervals, various families will experience significant changes—new heirs are born, older generations pass away, and young adults marry.

Thus, every twelve years, numerous branches of the Wade family report on the population changes within their families to the main family.

During this time, the main family chooses a respected elder to update the genealogy, meticulously recording the names and contributions of these individuals.

The current Wade family tree contains the names of hundreds of descendants, along with the names of their spouses. For instance, it includes details such as “Wade family son XX, whose daughter XX married,” or “the Wade family’s daughter who married the son of so-and-so.”

Each update of the genealogy is a grand affair.

The genealogy itself is carefully preserved in a safe that maintains a constant temperature and humidity, and it is ceremoniously presented by Wade family descendants during the ancestor worship.

After the worship, the genealogy must be respectfully returned to its safe place.

Following the completion of the new genealogy, it is also ceremoniously put back alongside the existing genealogies.

All members of the Wade family view the genealogy as a sacred family artifact, something that is revered and protected. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ find~novel~net

The main family holds exclusive rights to the genealogy. Consequently, whenever the extended families participate in ancestor worship, they perform three bows and nine worships to the genealogy, fostering a natural sense of belonging to the main family.

This ritual serves a purpose similar to that of ancient emperors and their ministers, utilizing elaborate etiquette and strict traditions to reinforce loyalty and commitment to the emperor.

It is also a significant way for the main family to command respect from the extended families.

However, Charlie did not recall the Wade family’s ancestor worship ceremony.

The last ceremony took place twelve years ago when he was still at the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute; the one prior to that was twenty-four years ago, a time when he was too young to remember.

Even though he cannot access memories from the ceremony held twenty-four years ago, he is well aware of the Wade family’s ancestor worship as a grand homage to their parents.

Consequently, Charlie found himself looking forward to the upcoming ceremony.

His anticipation was not solely for honoring the ancestors of the Wade family; rather, he hoped to pay respect to his own parents in a dignified and magnificent manner.

The last time he accompanied Orrin to honor his parents, he had to pose as Orrin’s driver, which prevented him from visiting his parents’ grave in his true identity and bowing in reverence. This has always remained a lingering regret for him.

So, he turned to Orrin and said, “Uncle Orrin, please inform my grandfather that I will attend the ancestor worship ceremony during the Spring Festival!”
