After the busyness of the three women, and Wang Jian's strong mother Zeng Yu only knew "adding to the chaos", "the more you helped", the "little monkey" who was jumping around secretly assisted, braised beef, braised lamb chops, taro chicken, sauerkraut duck, scalded goose, boiled fish, pepper rabbit, and bacon, sausage, steamed fat sausage, waist and liver stir-fried, pickled pepper chicken offal, husband and wife lung slices, mapo tofu, cold salad folded ear root, stir-fried vegetables, kelp hoof flower soup...... Cold dishes, grilled dishes, stir-fried dishes, stewed dishes...... A table of Chinese New Year's Eve with as many as twenty dishes, at six o'clock in the evening, finally let the four men and women match and work without getting tired.

"Bow down to your 'old man' first, and then eat. Before eating, Jian's mother Zeng Yu said to Wang Jian as usual.

"Yes, Mom, I'll go and prepare fruit and pig's head for my old man. Wang Jian said, turned around and walked into the kitchen, and went to cut the pig's head meat for his old man.

Give him the "dead ghost dad" to burn incense and paper, put fruit on the meat, and then beg his "dead ghost dad" to bless him with peace and security, no illness and no pain, and then bless him to find a good job after graduation, and then find a gentle, kind and beautiful mother-in-law.

Zeng Yu put 100 million pieces, a total of 1,000 pieces, a total of 100 billion "human coins", incense, wax, and a brazier for burning paper to the balcony outside, Wang Jian went to the kitchen to cut the cold pig's head meat for his old man, and stood aside and looked at Zeng Jingrong, who was busy with the two mothers, and was a little at a loss.

She thought about it, bit it again, turned her heart sideways, and walked to the balcony, came to Zeng Yu's side, squatted down, and said with a smile:

"Aunt Yu, I'll also burn some money paper for my uncle. I've never burned paper for my uncle. ”

Mother Jian heard that Zeng Jingrong actually took the initiative to burn paper for Wang Jian's father, she was stunned at first, then overjoyed, squinted her eyes, and nodded at Zeng Jingrong with relief and excitement:

"You have to get it! Jing Rong, then you can burn some paper with your 'dead ghost uncle', and let him bless you below! Your 'dead ghost uncle' is not bright when he is alive, but he is more competitive and quite effective when he becomes a ghost. At least half of the credit for the current situation in our house is the result of the blessing of your 'dead ghost uncle'!"

Although his son shared the bed with Zeng Jingrong and became a husband and wife, this incident is a bit too appalling after all, especially in his hometown, if it is known that his son is wrapped up with his cousin who has just died and become a widow's daughter, I am afraid it will become a huge scandal.

Therefore, although in Zeng Yu's eyes, she has long regarded Zeng Jingrong, the niece in the next room, as her daughter-in-law and family, and she also turned a blind eye to her son and niece's private ambiguity, and she didn't see it at all, but, how to say it, the relationship between the two has not yet been exposed, it is still underground, and the two juniors have not clearly told her that they want to play friends and get married in the future, Zeng Yu is embarrassed to let Zeng Jingrong, the niece who has not yet become her daughter-in-law, participate in her and Wang Jian's "family sacrifice activities" In the middle, I am afraid that the other party will be embarrassed, and I am also a little worried that my niece will taboo this.

Now, when she saw that Zeng Jingrong actually took the initiative to participate and burn paper for Wang Jian's "dead ghost father", she was immediately surprised and delighted!

Wang Jian, who walked into the kitchen, quickly came out with a small bowl of pig's head meat, and saw that Jian's mother and cousin Qiao were squatting on the balcony to light incense and burn wax, untying bundles of 100 million yuan bills, while Lin Xiaoya was standing in the center of the living room, a little at a loss.

"Xiaoya, do you want to burn some paper for my dad?" Hehe, my dad is a little effective?" Wang Jian walked up to Lin Xiaoya, smiled, and winked at the other party.

Seeing that Wang Jian's family was busy with Wang Jian's father, and she was the only one with nothing to do, Lin Xiaoya's heart spontaneously felt a sense of grievance that she was neglected and left out. She really wanted to be like Zeng Jingrong, and also went up to burn some money paper for Wang Jian's father and worship and worship, but she couldn't open her mouth, feeling that she didn't have the identity and position to do that.

That's something that only Wang Jian's relatives and his future wife are qualified to do!

Unexpectedly, just when she was secretly sad and felt cold, her boyfriend Wang Jian came up to invite her.

"Brother Jian, I'...... Can I go?" asked Lin Xiaoya with an excited face.

"Of course you can go—why can't you go? If my dad knows that her daughter-in-law burns paper for him, he will be happy! Let's go, Xiaoya, go and put incense on your father-in-law, burn some paper, and let him bless you!" Wang Jian nodded affirmatively, whispered to Lin Xiaoya, and then pulled the girl who was both ashamed and happy and walked towards the balcony.

"Mom, let the spot come out, Xiaoya will also burn paper for my dad. Wang Jian Chongjian's mother said.

Lin Xiaoya, a girl who also has a husband and wife with her son, actually ...... Even want to burn paper for his "dead ghost husband"?

So, not only did she completely forgive her son for the crimes he committed against her, but she also regarded herself as a "son's person" like her niece?

Zeng Yu was stunned, and then, there was a burst of monstrous joy, and he immediately stood up, took Lin Xiaoya's hand, and said with his mouth closed:

"Burn, burn, tonight, we all burn! Xiaoya, let me tell you, your 'dead ghost Uncle Wang' was useless when he was alive, and he made me and your brother Jian miserable, and he didn't turn over for six or seven years, but after he died, he became useful and began to bless me and your brother Jian, not only to make the acne on your brother Jian's face all healed, but also to make our steamed bun shop business thriving, becoming more and more popular day by day! When you burn paper later, I will help Xiaoya and you psychic, and I will definitely let your Uncle Wang bless you with no illness and pain, and everything will ......go well."

Light wax, burn incense, hold incense on the portrait of Wang Jian's father that Jian's mother had placed in advance, and then throw one after another 100 million yuan bills into the burning brazier, which is the "family sacrifice activity" that Wang Jian and Jian's mother have done in the past few years.

And this year, Wang Jian's family's "family sacrifice activities", in addition to doubling the number of people, Jian Ma's psychic words and sacrificial words have also changed greatly.

"Hua Hua (Wang Jian's father's name is Wang Hua), have you seen it? If you don't see it, just open your eyes and take a look, look at our new home, look at this year's sumptuous reunion dinner, look at this face of your son Wang Jian - the pimples on his face that have tormented him for more than ten years have finally disappeared, and his teeth have been straightened in a big hospital, your son, now he is handsome and beautiful, not only is it not as annoying as before, but also, yes, someone finally likes it, someone loves it......"

When Jian's mother said this, Wang Jian, who was squatting aside to burn paper, found that whether it was her cousin Zeng Jingrong or Lin Xiaoya, under the light of the raging fire, they were all pretty and blushing, and their faces were shy.

“…… Huahua, you don't have to worry about the future life of me and Jianjian. We will get better and richer.

"It won't be long before I estimate that in the next year or two, I will find a daughter-in-law for Jianjian, ask him for a wife, and then let Jianjian give your Wang family a succession and continue the incense.

"So, Huahua, you are below, just rest assured, you don't have to worry about our two mothers, and you don't have to give me dreams often.

"You can rest assured that you will be reincarnated. In the next life, I will strive to have a good baby, find a rich and noble family, and live a comfortable and comfortable life for decades. But don't smoke or drink. Nowadays, the food, air and water are not clean, and all kinds of cancers are very numerous, but don't get cancer like in your last life......"

In this way, Jian's mother chattered with Wang Jian's father, or "channeled" according to her own words, and Wang Jian only wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to laugh.

He looked at the second daughter on the side, but saw Zeng Jingrong and Lin Xiaoya, the two girls looked similar to her, and they were trying their best to hold back the smile on their faces, but they had to make a serious expression.

Soon, Wang Jian discovered a fact that surprised him a little, that is, the money burned for his "dead ghost father" this year seemed to be too much, and it didn't burn it for half a day.

Before, he remembered that his mother had two stacks of money paper at most, a stack of 100 sheets, that is, 20 billion.

But this year, Jian's mother bought ten stacks of money paper, a total of 100 billion back!

"Mom, what are you buying so much money for this year? Burning paper is just a ghost, just mean it. Wang Jian, who was a little curious, asked.

His mother, Zeng Yu, sighed and said:

"Alas, money is becoming less and less valuable now, inflation is terrible, and presumably the same is true for the prefecture. So cook more for your old man, let him eat what he wants, buy what he wants, and don't be reluctant to spend money. One person has attained the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, the life of our two mothers is better now, and you must let your old man enjoy happiness below!"

There is also "inflation" in the underworld? And his father has to follow him to "ascend to heaven"?

Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, and then, he couldn't control it anymore, laughed, leaned forward and backward with laughter, and sat on the ground with his ass.

He took the lead in laughing like this, Zeng Jingrong and Lin Xiaoya, who had long been amused by Jian's mother's psychics, finally couldn't help but "giggle" and covered their mouths and laughed, laughing so much that it was a flower branch trembling.

On such a solemn and serious occasion, her son was laughing wantonly there, and Jian's mother immediately wanted to beat Wang Jian. But when she turned her head to look, she saw that not only her son was laughing, but her two future daughters-in-law were also "giggling" and covering their mouths, and then, Zeng Yu was not easy to start.

Zeng Yu sighed in his heart and thought:

"Alas, count the ball! Laugh if you want! The dead are gone, and the happiness of the living is the most important!"

——————

Half an hour later, the 100 billion "human soul coins" were burned, and the "family sacrifice activity" was also coming to an end, and Wang Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Because when the paper was halfway burned, the night wind began to pour in, blowing the smoke and dust straight into the eyes of several people, blowing the eyes of the four people red, and tears flowed.

Then, Wang Jian thought, couldn't it be that his "dead ghost father" was dissatisfied with the laughter of the few of them just now and appeared to teach them a few offspring who were disrespectful to their ancestors?

Thinking of this, Wang Jian felt cold all over, and there were shadows and ghosts all around.

So, he immediately put away the smile on his face, put on a serious expression, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to his old man, kowtowed, and silently recited in his heart:

"Dad, don't blow the demon wind to scare me. If you blow the demon wind and light the ghost fire, there will not be 100 billion next time! I will also cancel this kind of 'sacrificial activity' that makes the house smoky and fire-susceptible to fire. When the time comes, you won't eat or drink down there, and you'll be starving, don't blame your son for being disobedient and unfilial?"

Strange to say, as soon as he said this in his heart, or according to his mother's words, he called a psychic, and the direction of the wind that originally poured into the night wind was normal again.

Wang Jian was surprised, even if he often boasted that he was an authentic and pure, materialist who only believed in science and did not believe in all strange forces, in the face of this bizarre and paradoxical supernatural event, he was also a little worried at this time, and he was not calm.

So, Wang Jian hurriedly seized the time to kowtow, and as soon as the three heads were finished, he immediately turned around and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

——————————

Placing the fruit, putting the pig's head meat, burning incense and lighting wax, holding incense as a knead, squatting on the ground to burn paper, and finally kneeling and kowtowing, this is all the content of the Wang family's "family sacrifice activities".

Wang Jian doesn't know who invented it, anyway, when he was a few years old, every time during the New Year's festival and when the family cooked and eaten, his "dead ghost father" would ask him to do this to the shrine in the hall with the "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher", and over time, it became a common practice.

After his father's death, this tradition was carried on by his mother, who remembered and mourned his deceased husband and his parents.

Perhaps, in the future, it will be inherited by him and passed on to his children and grandchildren.

This is probably a kind of cultural inheritance that is endless.

Who knows?
