Chapter 275: Hanging the Grave
Chapter 275: Hanging the Grave
The uncle has been the village chief for so many years, in addition to his own factors, it is also related to the tolerance and generosity of the eldest aunt Song Guangju, so the Li family does not pay so much attention to it.
However, the paving is still done by the man, and the eldest aunt and the second aunt can only prepare incense, candles, paper money or something in front of the grave.
When the mountain is paved, the tomb is hanged, and the incense and candle offerings are placed, it is time to set off firecrackers and burn paper to worship the ancestors.
Firecrackers are also particular, for example, the ancestors of Ermao are relatives who are out of service, and when they hang the grave, they also have to burn paper money for that side, but they don't set off firecrackers.
Firecrackers are generally set off only at the graves of immediate relatives, and firecrackers are not set off on the graves of distant relatives to show the difference between relatives and relatives.
The uncle and father prepared five firecrackers, and each of the five brothers and sisters hung one firecracker.
Firecrackers go off, paper money is burned, a few glasses of wine are sprinkled, and the elders who smoked before their deaths will light three cigarettes and put them on the tombstone, and it is time to kowtow.
As long as it is the junior of the tomb owner, he must make a prostration, first put his hands on his chest, make three bows, count one bow, then kneel down and kowtow three heads, and then get up, make three more bows, and then kneel down and kowtow three heads, so that after three bows and nine kowtows, the great gift is completed.
When the juniors kowtow, the elders will talk on the side: "Old ancestor, you see that Piwa has come to kowtow to you this year, with him, the lychees in our township are selling well this year! The one next to him is his girlfriend, named Ayin, who is still the head of our village! Take over your eldest Sun Sicheng's class, and they are well-behaved and capable, you should bless them more! Bless them with good health, smooth work, get married early and give birth to a fat ......."
Every junior stepped forward, and it was like this.
Then it's time to burn paper, many little babies like to do this, and the elders have to teach on the side: "Good grandson, every piece of paper must be torn apart, so that it burns vigorously and quickly...... Oh, you baby! Why are all the lumps thrown in, and the ashes are sprayed everywhere! The old ancestors are rare to pick up! This is not going to ......."
If there is a small whirlwind on the fire at this time, it will be the manifestation of the old ancestors, and everyone will be overjoyed and inexplicable, shouting: "The old ancestors are here, the old ancestors are happy to the new year!
In short, hanging the grave in the New Year is not so much a sorrow as a warm family activity.
After all this was done, everyone packed up their things and went down the mountain with some talk and laughter.
When I came to the uncle's house, everyone sat down in Changba to chat, eat melon seeds and play cards, and the uncle's family began to cook, and they lived here today.
At this time, it is not called the New Year's dinner, because it has entered the New Year, and from today onwards, every household will take turns to invite guests to dinner, and it will be called "leaving the household".
Take Li Junge as an example, the households that are going to leave this year roughly include the uncle, aunt, second aunt, fifth cousin, Ermao family, and godson Wang Xiaosong's family, these are the closest, and Uncle Orion's family, Uncle Yaoshi, Uncle Shi, Uncle Craftsman, Lin Wangcai, and Qiu Yatou will also go.
Panao Township, the bean, the second dog's house, also have to go and see.
There is also the uncle's family across the river, although they don't usually move around, but they still have to accompany their mother to go on a trip during the New Year's holidays.
In addition to these, we also have to add those who get married in the village, take advantage of the Chinese New Year to make ten years in advance, usually have a good relationship, and some people who have done odd jobs on Li Junge's side, as well as those who have worked as female workers with their grandmothers, and the people who Ayin Li Junge usually helps, which is simply a headache for Li Junge.
After the New Year's greetings, the babies were taken away by the adults after receiving the red envelopes, and they threw two boxes of firecrackers to play in front of and behind their houses.
Except for Alice and Shirley, the two sisters have become rich and small, and they think this is simply the best festival in the world!
The adults set up a small table and began to fight the big two, and the family fought in the nest, which was called "killing the family".
Jiachuan popular big two is a kind of long card, small one to small ten each four, big one to big ten also four each, of which small twenty seventy and big two seven pick is red, the rest is black.
The name "killer" comes from "killer".
During the Yuan Dynasty, ten Han families offered a tartar, which was called a family tartar.
Then there was a cake maker, hiding a note in the cake, and making an appointment to "kill the Tartars on August 15" uprising, which led to the later Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Da Er is also called "running beard" in Hunan, which means "expelling the Tartars and restoring China".
The rules are similar to mahjong, but although four people sit together, only three people play in each game, leaving one not to play, and that person is responsible for "counting the bottom".
Three people draw cards, a number of hole cards, hole cards left nineteen, and then the dealer takes twenty-one cards, the other two take twenty.
Then take turns flopping, and the rules are the same as playing mahjong.
Then each family began to find a way to make up the number of beards, at least ten or more in their hands, in order to win.
There is no Hu number in columns like three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and it must be two "touching" one, three "moves" one, "Chengkan", that is, three sheets, "Cheng Close", that is, four sheets, and two special columns of size one, two, three, and size twenty and seventy.
In addition to this, there are also famous halls, such as more than ten red cards in the hand when winning the card, called "red beard", and one red card is not, called "black beard".
There are also some rules such as "comparing cards", "passing cards", and "eight pieces".
This thing is more flexible than mahjong, it is easy to distinguish between the master and the low hand, the master to make up the child that is called a fast, the card on the hand according to the flip to change even eat with the ratio will soon be able to "call", the new vision is not broad enough to think flexible enough, can only a tendon to the end, waiting for those few cards.
Then the winning card is not called Hu, it is called "cut", and then the calculation of "cut" a few "Hu".
These are all related to the legend of the "Killer Tartar".
In the rural areas of Jiachuan, when it comes to the New Year and the head of the errand, there are big two people everywhere.
It is simply a trend, although it is a gambling activity, it was finally elected as the first municipal intangible cultural heritage by the people of Manzhou!
Li Junge didn't play this well, but the key was to find an opponent, not necessarily to outrun the lion, just to outrun a few companions! So he directly called the black, white and brown three, in the name of teaching and learning, and after a while, he took back the red envelope that had been given to Zongba taro in the morning.
The old man also smiled and sat at a table with his father, brother in the lobby, and his eldest cousin, and the uncle laughed while picking vegetables: "Big brother, you haven't touched Zhang Zi for more than 40 years, can you still stretch it?"
The old man said while touching the cards: "The rules are still remembered, but the thinking may not be able to keep up." ”
As a result, after a few games, the other three were as earth-colored as the face, and you can't keep up with your thinking? So what should we say?
Substitution, persimmon to pick up the soft pinch, for your son, the two have never seen the person, can't be so fierce?
As a result, he was replaced by a person who was engaged in computer artificial intelligence, and he was really completely blind, and Li Junge broke out in a cold sweat for his father on the side.
When the uncle shouted to start the meal, the three fathers were relieved and hurriedly dispersed, and the swishing disappeared, leaving the elder brother alone, while counting the money and muttering to himself: "Well, this is an interesting probability problem......"
After lunch, everyone began to walk along the village road, and then went to the archway, the ancestral hall, and the wooden building at the end of the village to have a look.
The old man explained the ins and outs of Li Jiagou and the legends and allusions to the three masters and apprentices of black, white and brown in English. Hearing this, the three of them nodded again and again.
After Li Junge showed them the movement of the drum at the front gate of the ancestral hall, the three of them exclaimed: "Great craftsmanship! Great artist!"
Then he was clamoring to visit Uncle Stone.
Li Junge rolled his eyes: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, except for the people who are close to the family, they generally do not leave the household, mainly because there are too many taboos today, in case you go to someone's house to break a bowl, the child says the wrong word, it will leave a psychological shadow for a year, which is very embarrassing." ”
Ayin also persuaded: "There are still several inheritors of our Lijiagou intangible cultural heritage, if you want to visit, wait until after the sixth day of the junior high school, when Uncle Shi will move to a new house, and Uncle Craftsman will get married, you can all see it." The ceremony can also be recorded. ”
Only then did the three of them return their attention to the atmosphere of the village.
After appeasing the three of them, Li Junge came to the second cousin and said to him: "Second cousin, I just want to talk to you, you see that I was busy cooking the New Year's dinner yesterday, and now I am free." ”
The second cousin put his arm around Li Junge's shoulders and said, "Piwa, you are a busy person now, this New Year's Eve is full, right?"
Li Junge smiled: "Aren't you too?" Hahaha, I just want to ask if you will go out after the New Year?"
The second cousin turned his head to look at Li Junge and said, "What's the matter, you still have a business to take care of your second brother?"
Li Junge shook his head and said, "I don't know how you're developing outside, it's hard to speak!"
The second cousin sighed: "Actually, Yuduo will soon be promoted to the beginning of the year, and your sister-in-law and I want to come back and guard it, and the boss is embarrassed!"
Li Junge laughed and said, "This is just that you think too much." However, it is true that having parents are restrained does help Yuduo's studies. ”
The second cousin scratched his head and said: "I have made a little money outside in the past two years, let me tell you Piwa, don't look at us pushing a small cart to sell pot helmet fat rice noodles, and we have to fight guerrilla warfare with these people in the city management, but this money is really a lot of money!"
Li Junge smiled: "I just have an idea, and I don't know if it's feasible or not, I just mention it, you can do it if you can do it, if you can't do it, just when I didn't say it." ”
The second cousin asked: "What kind of thinking? You are now the God of Wealth in Li Jiagou, hurry up and give me some pointers." ”
Li Junge said with a smile: "How dare you be a guide, I have a Wangcai uncle in Lanchang, and his mother Mrs. Lin was the staff of the Jiachuan Dajie Noodle Restaurant back then, and it was the one above the north gate, selling cuttlefish stewed chicken noodles, clear soup and scallion oil bun......s."
The second cousin said: "How can you not remember! That is our time-honored brand in Jiachuan! Who has never eaten Jiachuan people over the age of 30?!"
Li Junge continued: "In the past half a year, we have nothing to do, so we will pester the old lady to make us a tooth sacrifice. Let me tell you, the steamed noodles in her hand are really the original taste of the big collective noodle restaurant back then. If you and your sister-in-law are interested in opening a noodle restaurant in Jiachuan or Lijiagou, I can introduce you to you!"
The second cousin grabbed Li Junge's shoulders and shook them violently: "Hahaha, you can do it! This old craft has been pulled to Lijiagou by you! By the way, what about the descendants of Old Lady Lin? Why don't they open a restaurant?"
Li Junge said: "Her son is the technical director of my Lanchang, and he will definitely earn a lot of money in the future; her grandson is a college student at the Agricultural University, and he also has to take the path of research to see the posture, and if no one continues her craft, she will not be able to eat it in the future......
The second cousin patted his chest: "I'm coming! I'll be with your sister-in-law! Have you heard that sentence?
Li Junge said: "That's okay! I'll take you and my sister-in-law to meet Mrs. Lin after the New Year!"
