Therefore, as the main family, it was necessary for them to use the ancestor worship ceremony to gather people from the collateral family together at regular intervals. 5 After getting to know each other, getting acquainted with one another, and worshipping their common ancestors together, the connection between the bloodlines would naturally be strengthened. This was also a necessary means for large families to maintain their strength.

Therefore, the Wade family would not only hold an ancestor worship ceremony once every twelve years, but they would also revise their entire Wade family genealogy chart at the ancestor worship ceremony. During this period between the current twelve years and the past twelve years, each family would have already given birth to a new heir, an older generation would have died, and syoung adults would have already gotten married.

Therefore, every twelve years, the countless branches of the Wade family would have to report the population changes in their family over the past twelve years to the main family. 5 At that time, the main family would select a respected elder of good moral standing and reputation to personally renew the genealogy chart. The elder would have to write down the names and deeds of each and every one of these people, one by one.

The existing Wade family genealogy chart consisted of the names of millions of Wade family descendants as well as the names of millions of their spouses. For instance, a certain son of the Wade family could have married the daughter of another family, or the daughter of the Wade family could have married the son from another family and so forth. 4 Every revision for the genealogy chart was also very grand.

The original copy of the genealogy chart was stored in a safe with constant temperature and humidity, and it would be brought out by the descendants of the Wade family during each ancestor worship ceremony.

After bringing the genealogy chart out for the ancestor worship ceremony, they would have to immediately and respectfully store it back. 3 After that, they would renew the new genealogy chart.

After the renewal of the new genealogy chart was completed, they would also grandly store the new genealogy chart to keep it safe together with the other genealogy charts.

All of the Wade family members regarded the genealogy chart as a sacred family object which was sacred and inviolable. 4 The main family was the only family that had the right to retain the original genealogy chart. Therefore, every ta collateral family cto worship their ancestors, in addition to performing the great kowtow ritual to the genealogy chart, they would also develop a natural sense of belonging to the main family. 1 This was like the ancient king and his ministers who had to endure cumbersetiquette, rituals, strict rules, and inheritance to strengthen the idea of loyalty to the king in the ministers' minds. 6 This was also a great support from the main family to the collateral family.

However, Charlie had no impression of the Wade family's ancestor worship ceremony at all. 3 The Wade family's last ancestor worship ceremony had been held twelve years ago when he was still in the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute. 1 The previous ancestor worship ceremony before this had been twenty-four years ago. At that time, he had been too young, and he had no memory of that incident at all.

However, although Charlie could no of years om longer find any memory of the ancestor worship ceremony from twenty-four years ago, he was still very clear about the Wade family's ancestor worship ceremony. He knew that this was the grandest ceremony for the Wade family, and it would also be the grandest ancestor worship ceremony for his parents. Therefore, Charlie could not help but look forward to it.

He was not looking forward to paying homage to the ancestors of the Wade family, but he was simplym he looking forward to it because he would finally be able to pay his respects to his parents in a respectable, upright, and grand manner.

When he followed Yule to pay his respects to his parents the last time, he had had to pretend that he was Yule's driver. He had failed to walk to En. his parents' grave using his own true identity to kowtow before them. This had always been a big regret that he carried. Thus, he said to Yule, "Uncle Golding, please tell my grandfather that I will attend the ancestor worship ceremony during the Tomb Sweeping Festival!" х
