I couldn't take it anymore; when I went home for Chinese New Year, the family genealogy book ha

Jiang Chen turned around and went to the village chief's house, where he met the village chief's parents and other influential older members of the village.

Meeting!

"The reason I've gathered everyone here today is for one specific purpose."

Jiang Chen's expression was serious.

"Using technology to fulfill filial piety, upgrading everyone's life!"

"Starting today, everyone in our Jiang family, from grandparents to my parents, will have their phones replaced with the latest flagship Apple or Huawei models!"

"Besides, simply changing your phone won't do!"

Jiang Chen pointed to his head.

"The software needs to keep up too! Starting today, I'll personally teach everyone how to use WeChat, how to use Douyin, how to video chat, and how to shop online!"

"We cannot let the older generation be left behind by this era!"

Jiang Chen's suggestion was immediately approved by the whole family.

But Jiang Chen felt that this was far from enough.

Upgrading only your own people shows a narrow-minded approach.

If we're going to do it, we should do it big!

His gaze passed through the window and landed on the old ancestral hall in the center of the village, which was usually idle except for ancestral worship.

More precisely, it was the side hall next to the ancestral hall, which used to be used to store miscellaneous items.

A bold idea took shape in his mind!

Jiang Chen took out the village planning map he had prepared beforehand from the room and drew a heavy circle in red pen in the side hall of the ancestral hall!

"I want to transform this place into the most advanced digital activity center for senior citizens in the entire county—no, in the entire city!"

Jiang Chen pointed at the blueprints, his voice filled with undeniable pride.

"It needs the largest touchscreen for teaching! Dozens of the latest tablets! VR experience equipment! And dedicated teachers to teach all the elderly people in the village how to use the internet!"

"I want to make the elderly in our Jiangjia Village the trendiest and most internet-savvy seniors in all of China!"

Jiang Chen's words left everyone present completely dumbfounded.

The father, Jiang Jianjun, was the first to come to his senses. He swallowed hard, a hint of worry on his face.

"Chen'er...that...that's the ancestral hall!"

Jiang Jianjun's voice sounded somewhat weak.

"That's where we worship our ancestors. If we keep making all this clanging and banging around there, will our ancestors... approve?"

Jiang Chen was delighted upon hearing this.

"Dad, don't worry!"

Jiang Chen patted his father on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"If our ancestors knew that we've ensured our descendants, hundreds of years from now, all live like immortals, they'd be overjoyed!"

"Besides, I've prepared a special gift for our ancestors!"

Jiang Chen winked mysteriously.

"I'll order a pure gold electronic incense burner later! And pair it with the highest-end holographic projection! From now on, when we worship our ancestors, we can just press a button, and purple aura will rise from the east, accompanied by celestial music!"

"It's environmentally friendly and impressive! If our ancestors were watching from heaven, they would all praise us as filial sons and virtuous grandsons!"

This absurd logic left Jiang Jianjun completely stunned, and he didn't react for a long time.

Just do it!

Jiang Chen's execution speed has always been frighteningly fast.

That afternoon, a whole convoy drove into Jiangjia Village.

But this time, it wasn't an engineering truck hauling earth or a concrete mixer truck that came.

Instead, they were vans with various incomprehensible tech company logos printed on their bodies.

The car door opened, and a group of technicians dressed in uniform black overalls, whose demeanor was out of place in the village and who looked like they had stepped out of a science fiction movie, filed out.

They began moving various equipment into the side hall of the ancestral hall.

Those weren't bricks and cement, but huge curved screens, boxes of servers flashing blue light, and all sorts of strangely shaped metal components.

The villagers were dumbfounded.

"What's Chen kid up to this time?"

"I don't know. It doesn't look like they're building a house; it looks more like... they're building a spaceship?"

Jiang Chen stood at the entrance of the ancestral hall, looking at the bustling scene before him, and nodded in satisfaction.

"My goodness! Chenwazi! Have you brought the movie theater into our ancestral hall?!"

As soon as the door to the side hall of the ancestral hall opened, all the elderly people, led by Grandpa Jiang Wanshan, gasped in shock.

The old, musty side room that was once filled with clutter has now been completely transformed.

The floor was covered with a soft, non-slip gray carpet, and the walls were covered with warm, off-white upholstery.

The most outrageous thing is the wall directly opposite the entrance.

The entire wall was occupied by a huge black "mirror"!

This "mirror" is bigger and clearer than the screen used for outdoor movies in the village!

"Sir, this isn't a movie theater."

Jiang Chen smiled and walked forward, gently pressing the switch on the wall.

"Buzz—"

The huge black screen lit up instantly, revealing a colorful desktop with large, clear icons arranged on it.

"This is a 100-inch ultra-high-definition touch screen for teaching. Everyone will use it to learn things from now on."

As Jiang Chen spoke, he pointed to rows of neatly arranged brand-new gadgets next to him.

They were thin plates that shone with a metallic sheen, and some chairs that looked like sofas but had a futuristic design.

"Goodness gracious! How can this chair trap someone?"

Uncle Er plopped down in a massage chair, which immediately started moving, and the airbags on both sides began to compress his waist, startling him into letting out a strange cry.

But soon, the comfortable force made him let out a pleasant groan, and he collapsed inside, not wanting to get up.

"Chenwa, what... what's this shiny little board for?"

Grandpa Jiang Wanshan picked up a brand-new iPad Pro and examined it from all angles, his eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of trepidation.

"Grandpa, this is called a tablet computer. You'll use it to watch movies, read the news, and chat with your great-granddaughter from now on."
