Chapter 186: Ancestor Worship

Yang Xinyue's mother and two aunts got off at the entrance of the village as usual.

Take a machete and cut the wild grass at the entrance of the village, expose the location of the entrance of the village, and make way for it.

Grandpa Yang Xinyue was the first village chief in the village after liberation.

The old party member has dedicated his life to this village.

Work hard for this village.

When leaving, she also took the hands of her father, her brother and two uncles, and told them to go back to the old village often in the future, and the ancestral hall in the village should be cleaned frequently, and the lights of the ancestral hall and the wires of the telephone poles should also be checked, so that the ancestral hall could not be left without electricity.

But two or three years ago, when the last family in the village moved out, the power supply bureau stopped supplying electricity to the village.

The telephone poles in the village are still there, and the wires and lights in the ancestral hall are still there, but there is no electricity.

Yang Xinyue's father and her brother buy kerosene, light kerosene lamps, and buy incense candles for the ancestral hall every year.

Yang Xinyue's family had to worship in their old house before going to the ancestral hall.

When she and her uncles set up their own offering tables, and when her mother and two aunts returned from the entrance of the village, the ancestor worship began.

After lighting the cannons and collecting the offerings, after the worship was over, he packed up his things and went to the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall is one for each village.

Yang Xinyue's village is not big, and the whole village has one surname, and I don't know if it is an ancestor in the past.

There are two statues of gods on the altar of the ancestral hall, one on the left and one on the right.

There are Buddhist shrines, incense candles, and kerosene lamps in front of the statues, and when the women of the family clean the table, the men of the family put the offerings on the table.

Yang Xinyue couldn't intervene, so she went around to look.

There is a unicorn shadow wall in front of the ancestral hall, which is veneered with tiles, so after so many years, it doesn't look dilapidated.

Directly opposite the shadow wall is the large lotus pond in the village.

In the famine year, he fed a village.

I don't know if the location of the ancestral hall has been seen by someone before, Yang Xinyue, a layman, thinks that the feng shui of the ancestral hall is excellent.

Yang Xinyue stood for a while, and then looked at the wall of the ancestral hall.

Carved on the wall are the names of the money and goods donated by each family in the village in the past.

Burn it out with tiles and stick it.

After all these years of wind and rain, it is still clear.

Yang Xinyue asked her father before, why is there no one in the village and not rebuilding an ancestral hall in the new village?

The whole village also has to go back to the old village to worship.

Yang Xinyue's father shook his head and sighed, saying that people's hearts were scattered.

It costs a lot of money to repair the ancestral hall, and not every household is willing to take out the money.

Some families do not return to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, or families without sons will not contribute money at all.

Then build an ancestral hall in the new village and occupy the homestead.

A lot of people don't want to.

In the first two years, the village requisitioned land and built a tourist avenue, just for the matter of land requisition compensation, scolded and fought every day, and even started fighting, just for the calculation of the head of the family and the calculation of the green seedlings in the field, saying that the distribution was uneven, and it was the same as the enemy.

Nowadays, people in a village sometimes meet each other and don't greet each other.

Yang Xinyue is also quite embarrassed.

In the past, the conditions of every family in the village were not very good, as long as the village cadres gave an order, saying that they would build roads and dig ponds or something, it was that every family contributed labor and spared no effort to work.

The women and children of the family, as long as they are at home, also come out to help.

Now the village cadres in the village call for a meeting, and the people are not all called, and they all have to go to the door to invite three or five invitations.

When discussing something, each has its own voice and thoughts.

Anything that hurts one's own interests or is not beneficial to oneself will not be approved, and a simple matter will have to be voted on for several months.

Many things in the village have not been done because there is no consensus.

After Yang Xinyue's family finished worshipping in the ancestral hall, they just collected their things and came out, when they saw two families on the road.

They were all neighbors in the village in the past, people who were very close to each other, so everyone stopped to say hello.

"It's the first in your family every year. ”

Yang Xinyue's father smiled: "It's not too late for you. ”

"Xin Yue is back, when did you come back?"

Yang Xinyue greeted with a smile: "I came back the day before yesterday." ”

"Did you bring your son-in-law back?"

"Hehe, no. ”

"Hold on, your parents are looking forward to it. ”

Yang Xinyue just smirked.

After chatting for a few words, the two families separated.

Yang Xinyue took this opportunity to take her cousin and others to walk around the village.

Her mother would occasionally come over to clean her house, and there was not so much grass in the house, although the doors, windows, and wall tiles were a little peeling, but it was still clean.

The old items used in her old house, including wooden beds, chairs and old furniture, were also there, and they were not brought to the new village.

Yang Xinyue looked at the low old house and couldn't help but recall the years when she was a child.

Her house looks pretty good, but the places where she used to play in the village, where she used to take a shade, and the roads in the village are already barren and grassy, growing taller than people.

The other houses in the village were covered with grass inside and outside, and even the doors were hidden.

Some of the dilapidated walls have cacti growing on them, and they are tall and tall.

It looks like exploring a secret place.

Yang Xinyue looked embarrassed all the way.

The group turned around slightly, because they still had to go to the ancestral house to worship their ancestors, so they went back.

There is an ancestral hall in a village, and an ancestral house in a family.

Yang Xinyue's relatives who are not out of Wufu still have her second uncle's family.

Her second uncle and her grandfather were cousins.

Two people have a grandfather.

It is exactly five generations to the younger brother of Yang Xinyue.

Waiting for Yang Xinyue's younger brother's children, this generation will also come out with five suits.

Her family is not very prosperous.

Yang Xinyue's grandfather and her second uncle, there were only two men in the family at that time, one in the family, and there was not even a female baby.

In her father's generation, her father gave birth to Yang Xinyue's father and two uncles. Her second uncle gave birth to two sons.

But in the generation of Yang Xinyue's younger brother, Yang Xinyue's father only gave birth to one of her younger brothers, the second uncle had no male son, and the third uncle had one.

In Yang Xinyue's younger brother's generation, her brother's two daughters have no sons, her cousin is not married, and Uncle Cong's son is a little stupid, and he doesn't know if he can marry a wife.

If her cousin also gives birth to a daughter in the future, I don't know if anyone will come back to worship her ancestors.

Her family worships their ancestors in the ancestral house, and now there are two tables, one table at the head of the room is enough.

Other families in the village have a lot of houses at home, and they have a yard.

The daughters-in-law at the head of each house are bigger than their own chickens every year, and they are more attentive to the offerings.

When Yang Xinyue arrived at the ancestral house, her two uncles and the children of the family were also there.

Usually we don't see each other much, so we say hello first.

The women cleaned the tables and set up the offerings.

When the offerings are arranged, the firecrackers brought by each family are taken out, and they are tied to bamboo poles, waiting for the worship to be finished for a while.

Yang Xinyue listened to the sound of today's firecrackers to worship her ancestors and the sound of firecrackers in the village, and felt that it was really the New Year.

Guns are forbidden in the city, but not in the countryside.

Yang Xinyue still likes to listen to the sound of firecrackers.

There is no sound of firecrackers during the New Year, and I always feel that something is missing.

After worshipping at the ancestral house, the two families collected their things and went to the new village.

I made an appointment to walk around more during the New Year, and then I took my own car back.

When I got home, I prepared lunch non-stop.

Fortunately, there are many people, and the preparation is fast.

Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, the evening dinner is considered a reunion dinner, and the lunch does not make too many dishes, it is simple and warm, and after eating, it is necessary to make rice cakes and make various snacks.
