Chapter 151: Ancestor Worship
The next morning, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing got up early, and Li Guangyu, Cao Weiqing, and Wu Wen did not return to the commune guest house to rest, but only ordered the bodyguards to go back. 35xs Li Guangyu and the three stayed with Li Yingzhong to rest, but Du Yonghong still arranged for the two to be on duty at night.
It is impossible to rest in the countryside and sleep peacefully until dawn, especially for Cao Weiqing, who has only come to live in the countryside. At three or four o'clock in the morning, the rooster began to cluck.
Today is a very important event for Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing, who are about to enter the Li ancestral hall to worship their ancestors. This Li ancestral hall was funded and built by Li Guangyu's grandfather when he came back in the past five years.
And Cao Weiqing will be officially included in the Li family genealogy today, which is a very happy thing for Cao Weiqing, even if he doesn't rest too well at night, he is still in good spirits.
Regarding all kinds of sacrifices, yesterday afternoon, Wu Wen arranged for Li Weiming to follow Li Wenze to the commune to buy them.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the door of the Li ancestral hall slowly opened, and Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing walked in under the leadership of Li Yingzhong. There were also many descendants of this ancestor in the village, and this time it was a clan elder who was a generation higher than Li Yingzhong.
After placing the offerings, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing saluted the elders and kowtowed.
After completing these rituals, Li Guangyu placed the spiritual tablets of Li Yingliang, Li Wencheng, and Li He Mengping in the corresponding positions one by one. Then, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing saluted incense again and bowed.
After completing the ancestor worship, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing followed the clan elders to the place where the genealogy was stored, and wanted to add Cao Weiqing's name to it. As for Li Guangyu himself, when his grandfather came back before, he had already added his name to the family tree.
The clan elder is now approaching eighty, which is a relatively long life in this era. Now with a pair of reading glasses, he rummaged through the family tree to find Li Guangyu's name.
After the clan elder found it, he asked Li Guangyu and them, "Guangyu, you write the name of Wei Qing next to it, so that I don't make a mistake when writing the family tree." ”
After Li Guangyu wrote Cao Weiqing's name on a piece of scratch paper next to him, the clan elder said again and again, "This is good, this is good, Li Cao Weiqing, Li Cao's family." ”
In the concept of the clan elders, they still think that the clan follows the traditional thinking, even if many people think that this is backward, but they still think that this is good.
After the ancestor worship was completed, Li Yingzhong's family held a banquet to celebrate the addition of new people to the Li family.
At noon, the happiest are the children of the Li family, today they can not only eat all kinds of dishes that are usually difficult to eat once, but also all kinds of candy prepared by Cao Weiqing, and the whole noon is full of their laughter.
Li Guangyu is really easy to be satisfied when he sees these children today, he is very happy to be able to eat a good meal and have a few candies, which is like those in later generations, if he doesn't eat like this, he doesn't want that. 35xs
At noon today, Li Guangyu was toasting the elders one by one, and he drank a little too much. For the bulk wine bought at the commune, the stamina is really a bit big. Li Guangyu didn't buy those expensive wines, and besides, he wanted to buy them now, but he couldn't buy them here.
At eight o'clock in the morning on November 12, Li Guangyu, Cao Weiqing, Wu Wen and others, led by their cousin Li Guanghui, came to the tomb of Li Guangyu's grandmother.
Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing said after saluting the incense, "Grandpa Wu, after you and your cousin go back, you will contact your grandmother to build a tomb for your grandfather, look at the date, and we will let your grandfather stay with your grandmother in the future." ”
"Okay, young master, I'll contact you to start building when I get back. Wu Wen replied.
Li Guangyu is very grateful to Li Yingzhong's family, and his grandmother's grave is obviously cleaned up of the surrounding weeds. And Li Guangyu could see that this was not a trace that had just been cleaned up, obviously Li Yingzhong arranged for his family to clean up these regularly every year, so as not to make it desolate.
After Li Guangyu returned to Li Yingzhong's house, he thanked him and said, "Grandpa, thank you for taking care of my grandmother's grave all these years. ”
Li Yingzhong said, "What's the thank you for this, Wen Gao and Guanghui, as the younger generations of your grandmother, and you are not at home, shouldn't they go to worship and take care of them." ”
Li Guangyu said, "Grandpa, about my grandfather's matter, I have already instructed Wu Wen to contact the personnel to build it next to my grandmother's grave, and you still need to preside over this matter, I don't know many things yet." ”
Li Yingzhong was also very concerned about his younger brother being buried next to his sister-in-law, and immediately agreed to Li Guangyu's request after Li Guangyu finished speaking.
Li Yingzhong said, "Guangyu, don't worry, your grandfather will take care of it and won't let it go wrong." ”
In the afternoon, Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing went to the village primary school and looked at the children who went to school here.
Today's village primary school is just composed of two tiled houses and an earthen dam, and there are only two grades in total, one for each grade. Nowadays, there is no pre-school education for several years, and at most there is a preschool class when the first grade is going to be opened, and many times the children do not have a pre-school at all, and they start primary school directly.
Cao Weiqing looked at the humble school and said to Li Guangyu, "The learning environment here is too difficult, we should help them build a good school." ”
Li Guangyu has already planned this, and today I will take a look at it and understand the actual situation.
When Li Guangyu and the others came to the classroom, a female teacher in her forties who was in class noticed them, and after stopping the lecture, she asked Li Guangyu and them, "Who are you looking for?"
The female teacher thought that someone from the child's family had come to look for her, so she asked.
Li Guangyu said, "Hello, let's just take a look." Sorry to interrupt your class. ”
When the female teacher heard Li Guangyu say this, she didn't ask, and began to tell the children about the knowledge in the book.
After class, Li Guangyu chatted with the two teachers. The female teacher's name is Li Wenjing, and the teacher in the other class is the father of the female teacher, who is now over 60 years old. The two of them are the only ones in the village who teach here, her father Li Yinghua teaches Chinese, and she teaches mathematics herself. Today, the children in the village also take these two courses.
Cao Weiqing listened sadly on the sidelines, the learning environment here is too far from her own learning environment. At the same time, I was also moved by the perseverance of these two teachers, and it was with their presence that the children in the village had hope.
Li Guangyu said, "Two teachers Li, according to the generation, you are all my elders, and now the children in the village have your presence, so they can hope to go out of the village and enter a higher hall of learning, and we are very touched by your persistence here." ”
Cao Weiqing said, "Teacher Li Yinghua, don't worry, after we come back this time, we will build a perfect school for the village and change your difficult environment." ”
Li Yinghua and Li Wenjing also heard the news of Li Guangyu and Cao Weiqing, because of the class, they did not go when Li Guangyu worshiped his ancestors, but they still knew the news.
Li Yinghua said, "Guangyu, I thank you for these children, Wen Jing and I don't matter, we are used to it, but we still hope that the children's learning environment can be better, so that they will develop better in the future." ”
