Chapter 91: Chinese New Year

Guo went to buy a whole bag of sacrificial supplies, including firecrackers for six yuan, and the others were incense, paper and candles.

The lower ninth stream has always had a profound impact on rural people, and the lower ninth stream is basically inseparable from Buddhism and Taoism.

For example, the shrine on the incense has both "the South China Sea Purple Bamboo Forest to save the suffering and save the Guanyin Bodhisattva" and the "heaven and earth monarch and the spiritual position of the teacher".

I have to mention here that the monarch of heaven and earth is the master of the middle monarch, especially referring to the Jade Emperor.

The former is a person in Buddhism, and the latter should belong to Taoism, in short, the beliefs of the common people are really chaotic.

It is also necessary to say that the shrine on the altar of incense. can see where the ancestors of their family come from, for example, Guo Qu's family is "Zhuangyuantang", and the village's other surname, that is, the Huang family, goes to "Jiangxia Hall".

Zhuangyuan Hall is named after the ancestor because of the appearance of the champion.

And Jiang Xiatang, this Guo Qu knows more than he knows his own family.

Usually, Guo Qu likes to listen to the villagers brag, but his grandfather doesn't mention where his family comes from.

Therefore, Guo Qu knows more about his fellow villagers than he knows about his own family.

The people surnamed Huang in this village moved from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and there were also people surnamed Mu at the same time, and there were two families at that time, and Huang Mu was a cousin.

Jiangxia Hall is in HB, it seems that HB has a JX district and Jiangxia Town, which should indicate that the surname Huang originated there.

Then, according to historical records, Huang Tingjian of the Northern Song Dynasty built a Jiangxia Hall somewhere in JX, which happened to match the god position on the incense altar of the villagers.

And the surname Mu, it seems that HB also has it, and as soon as the two are connected, it turns out that the villagers all moved from HB.

It's a little funny to say, Guo Qu's favorite is this kind of story, so in his previous life, he couldn't help but go to the ancestral grave of the people in the middle of the mountain village to take a look.

That look surprised him, because the tombstone of the ancestral tomb reads: The tomb of Jinshi Huang Moumou in the Tang Dynasty, and then both sides of the tombstone are full of the names of the villagers, densely packed with a large area!

Ahem! To get back to the point, it's not good to talk too much.

After buying firecrackers, she bought food for the girl, she deserved to be a greedy snack, seeing what others were eating, Guo went around the street, and spent more than ten yuan to buy her something!

It's ninety-four years, and you can see how many things a girl has to buy!

When I got home, I handed over all the food to the girl, and she couldn't lift it herself, but she was very happy, her eyes kept looking at the snacks in the bag, and she couldn't close her mouth with joy.

"Pot~" The girl tried it several times, but she didn't mention it, so she once again used that lethal expression - looked at Guo Qu pitifully.

Guo Qu relented and helped her lift the snacks to the stove, and then the girl sat obediently on the stool, holding the cloth bag containing the snacks in her hand, for fear that someone would snatch the things.

At this time, most of the family members went to the street and did not come back, only Guo went to the house, and the five wild boars in the pigsty were hungry gi~gi~ and screamed.

"Xiaojing, just roast the fire here, do you hear it? Brother went to feed the pigs, the pigs were hungry and wanted to eat. ”

"Hmm~"

Carrying the pig feeding bucket, scooped half a bucket of pig porridge, and walked towards the pigsty.

The five brown wild boars no longer have the ferocity of the wild boars, and when they saw Guo going to carry pig rice, the wild boars all gi~gi~ screamed and ran around in the pigsty, as if urging Guo to hurry up and give them food.

Guo Qu really wanted to ask them: What about your dignity as a wild boar?!

It's a pity they don't understand human speech.

Of the five wild boars, three were boars and two sows, and now the males and females are feeding separately.

According to Guo Qu's plan, two of the five pigs are the babies he will make money in the future, chickens can lay eggs, so sows can naturally lay piglets, but how to raise them is a problem......

"Pot pot~, baba, eat~" The girl still has a conscience, and when she saw Guo go to feed the pigs and come back, she ran to Guo with the baba, and the result was tragic.

The ground in the old wooden house was uneven, and she fell to the ground at once, and then, with her temperament, she was naturally about to cry out with her mouth open.

However, Guo Qu also had a way to deal with it, he hurriedly put down the pig feeding bucket, ran over and picked up the girl, and then threw her in the air, his mouth was just deflated, and before he could cry, he was replaced by the laughter of "giggle~".

In fact, it doesn't hurt much if it falls on the ground just like that, because the ground is compacted mud.

Guo went to stop moving, and the girl had no signs of crying at this time, but she found that the poop that was originally in her hand was gone.

"Baba pot pot~, baba ~" The girl pointed to the ground.

Put the girl down, and let her pick up the poop herself.

If this is seen by an adult, it will be scolded, take the poop from the girl's hand, pat off the dust on it, and then put it on the stove ring, which is considered high-temperature sterilization.

"Sugar~, Sugar~!" There was no poop in her hand, and the girl stretched out her claws to the sugar in the bag again.

"Eat~, eat~" put a gummy corn candy in her mouth, the girl smiled for happiness, and then took out another one and handed it to Guo Daodao.

……

Time passed in this laid-back, happy atmosphere, and the family returned, had dinner, and went to bed.

It stands to reason that the New Year should be Chinese New Year's Eve, that is, the Chinese New Year's Eve, the truth is so, but many people still choose to celebrate the New Year on the 29th day of the lunar month, in order to avoid relatives for the New Year.

For example, Guo went to his house for the 29th New Year, and his uncle's family was all in place, and the thirtieth day of the lunar month was his uncle's family for the New Year, and everyone in Guo's house would naturally go.

The task of burning paper money fell on Guo Qu's father, and it is estimated that this time in these years, he burned paper sincerely.

The paper money is torn into a special shape and placed on the edge of the square table, just four groups of specially shaped paper money.

An ancient saying, that is, the words spoken by the scholars during the imperial examination, was recited in the whole way, and it took half an hour before the meal was withdrawn and ready to eat.

Many people probably don't believe that rural people will say this cultured ancestor worship words, but this is true and true, even if people who don't know a few big characters, they will say it.

Although there is no culture, the words of worshipping ancestors in front of the incense altar can be memorized no matter what, and if you don't believe it, you can ask the elderly people in the countryside, which is a must for them.

It's a pity that few people born in the past seven or eight years can read it, not to mention the post-90s and post-00s.

In other words, when the post-90s and post-00s burn paper money for their ancestors, what will they do? Guo Qu was very curious.

But it's just curiosity.

The firecracker was hung on the bamboo pole, Guo Qu held an incense stick in his hand, and saw that the incense altar was almost made in front of it, so Guo Qu lit the fuse.

A crackling sound means that the desolate beast "Nian" is driven away, and the wind and rain will be smooth in the coming year, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will officially begin.
