As the New Year's bell approached, Liu Ruyan's mobile phone kept ringing, and the New Year greetings of recipients, customers and friends, Ye Zi, who was sitting in Liu Ruyan's arms, was very curious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Auntie, what is this?"

"It's a cell phone, you can talk to you from a distance, and you can play games. Liu Ruyan explained, and called up the game on her mobile phone and let Ye Zi play. Ye Zi held his mobile phone in his hand, watching and playing in surprise.

Dunzi sat in his grandfather's arms, watched his sister have fun, and brought his little head over.

Two small heads are recorded together, four eyes are staring at the phone screen in amazement, and the two small faces are constantly changing as the game progresses.

"Play for me. After watching it for a while, Dunzi couldn't help it, and asked Ye Zi for it, Ye Zi was having a good time, how could he give up his mobile phone to his younger brother, so he raised his hand high and refused to give it.

"If my aunt gives me to play, I won't let you play. ”

Because he is a boy, Dunzi has not only been favored by his parents, but also by his grandparents, so he has also developed a domineering habit at home.

"If you don't give it to me, I'll rob it. Dunzi grimaced.

The leaves still hold their hands high, and the pier just can't reach them. Some of the annoyed piers clenched their small fists and were about to slash at the head of the leaves.

Liu Ruyan thought it was fun at first, so she watched the two sisters and brothers rushing to play, but seeing that Dunzi couldn't grab the leaves because of his short stature, she picked up her fist to hit the leaves, so she hurriedly stopped, she held the pier with one hand, patted the head of the pier with the other, and said with a smile: "Dunzi, you can't raise your fist to hit people at every turn, you know, you don't need to rob your sister, go to your uncle and play with your uncle's mobile phone." ”

Although Dunzi was a little stubborn, he liked this beautiful aunt very much, and as soon as he heard what the aunt said, he immediately stopped his movements and nodded obediently in agreement.

Seeing Dunzi nodding obediently, Liu Ruyan shouted at the kitchen: "Lin Gang, give your mobile phone to Dunzi to play for a while, the two sisters and brothers are fighting." ”

Dunzi ran to the kitchen, took Lin Gang's mobile phone, and said to Ye Zi proudly, "I have it too." Looking at the two elves, everyone laughed happily together. "Brother, the sacrifices are ready, come and help me take them to the ancestral hall, sister-in-law, Rourou, you two prepare candles, incense and firecrackers, and our family will go to the ancestral hall to worship our ancestors. Lin Gang in the kitchen shouted, and everyone got up together, especially Liu Ruyan, who listened to Lin's father's description of rural customs, and looked forward to this ancestor worship ceremony.

Liu Ruyan brought back the mobile phone in Ye Zidunzi's hand and said: "Yezi, Dunzi, don't play, let's go to worship the ancestors, ah!" Ye Zi and Dunzi also jumped up and clapped their hands happily.

The ancestral hall surnamed Lin is a Tuku-style Hui style building in the middle of the village, with blue bricks and tiles, although it does not have the luxury of painting carved beams, it is also simple and solemn. The ancestral hall is composed of two entrances, one into the field behind the door, the site is relatively large, it is the sacrificial room when the villagers are waiting for the sacrifice, the second is the place to worship the ancestral tablet, the tablet of the ancestors of the Lin family is full of tablet tables, a huge offering table in front of the tablet, the front of the offering table is the big incense burner for sacrifice, and there is a patio between the two entrances.

Generally speaking, because of the inconvenience of the elderly at night blinding the fire in the dark, if there are young people in the family, there are young people who go to incense to worship their ancestors, so this year, Father Lin asked Lin Gang to lead his family.

When I came to the ancestral hall, the ancestral hall was already full of contributions (a rural idiom, that is, sacrifices to ancestors). Congratulations to each other, laughter and laughter. Liu Ruyan took Lin Gang's arm and looked at all this in surprise, everything felt fresh. For more than 20 years, Liu Ruyan has been sensible since she began, and she spent the Spring Festival with her mother and TV every year, although there was noise and the sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside, but she never went out to let it go, nor did she go outside to see a fireworks. Similarly, although her grandmother's house is also rural, her mother's strength has made her never go to her grandmother's house since she was sensible, and the only time is to send her mother's ashes back to her hometown for burial.

Here, Liu Ruyan evokes her childhood longing and curiosity.

"Gangzi, you finally went home for the New Year, oh, as soon as you appeared, it was extraordinary, this is your daughter-in-law? This is beautiful, ouch, it's just a fairy. "Rural people have no distractions, are sincere and simple, and when they see the beauties around Lin Gang, they are sincerely admired.

"Gangzi". In the noisy voice, someone was shouting at Lin Gang.

Lin Gang looked at the voice, it was his childhood playmate Lin Jie, and he saw Lin Jie pushing aside the crowd and desperately squeezing towards Lin Gang's side.

Seeing that the person squeezing over from the middle of the distance was Lin Jie, a childhood friend, Lin Gang also shouted happily: "Oh! It's you, Jiezi, I haven't seen you for several years, are you okay?"

When Lin Jie came to the front, Lin Gang introduced Liu Ruyan: "This is my childhood playmate, called Lin Jie, Jiezi." ”

Liu Ruyan tilted her head mischievously: "Jiezi, why does it sound so awkward." ”

Lin Jie stretched out his hand to Liu Ruyan and said heartily: "Hello sister-in-law, Mrs. sister-in-law is so beautiful, shocking, my name is Jiezi, at first glance, it sounds like a boil, pus, right? hahahaha." ”

Liu Ruyan was embarrassed by Lin Jie's frank praise, but after all, she was everyone's lady and had seen the world, so she also politely stretched out her hand and shook hands with Lin Jie.

In the hall, the New Year's bell rang, and the patriarch stood on the steps and began to shout: "Everyone be quiet, according to the ancestors' traditional rules, from the big house to the small house, from the eldest to the youngest, with the family as the unit, and also to the parents, worship the ancestors and ancestors in turn, may the ancestors bless us with lush branches and rolling wealth." Seek wealth abroad, go home and start a prosperous business. ”

Then, the patriarch took out the list of worships and began to call for them.

It was Lin Gang's family's turn, first Lin Qiang and his wife took their two children to worship, and then Lin Gang and Liu Ruyan began to worship.

Lin Gang took Liu Ruyan to the sacrificial table full of contributions, lit sandalwood, and worshiped the ancestors in front of the portrait of the ancestor surnamed Lin and the ranking of several ancestors.

Liu Ruyan had never participated in the family worship ceremony, so she did not know the worship procedures, and Lin Gang did not explain these procedures to her in detail. So I had to learn from Lin Gang on the spot, Lin Gang bowed three times, she also bowed three times, Lin Gang knelt down, she also knelt down, causing everyone in the hall to laugh. She didn't know that the rules of the village were that men had to kneel down to worship their ancestors, while women could not kneel, so the general situation was that women would not kneel and worship, which also showed that they had a certain status in their husband's family.

Wan Xinghua stood beside Liu Ruyan, quietly pulled her sleeve with her hand, and motioned for her to start worshipping.

Liu Ruyan didn't understand what Wan Xinghua meant, and she didn't know what they were laughing at, and she didn't care what they laughed at, thinking that it would be right to follow Lin Gang anyway. Seeing this, the patriarch shouted: "The Gangzi family worships the ancestors and ancestors very religiously, and it is an example for the female dependents of our whole village. "In the countryside, there is still a custom of calling whose wife is from whose family.

After worshipping the ancestors, all the villagers lit the firecrackers they brought, and Lin Qiang also took the disc firecrackers he brought and set them off in the courtyard of the ancestral hall.
