The first day of the new year is a new year, and the second day of the new year is a sacrifice to the ancestors.

This is the tradition of the old Langya people.

At about 6 o'clock in the morning on the second day of the first lunar month, Bai Ningyuan was called by the alarm clock, looked at the screen, and while he was sleeping, there were a lot of text messages, and his face suddenly smiled bitterly.

Since the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, his phone has hardly been disconnected, and various subordinates and various partners have almost lined up to call him to greet the New Year, basically just hung up a phone, and then the incoming call rings until the battery is out of power to get a respite.

This is just the beginning, Bai Ningyuan remembers that the more it goes, the more this Spring Festival will become a "spring catastrophe"!

Bai Ningyuan's bedroom was on the second floor, and when he opened the door, he saw that there was already a bright light downstairs, obviously Bai Hong and Li Shuling had already gotten up early to make dumplings.

Bai Ningyuan yawned heavily, then walked to the scrubbing room and began to wash.

When I went downstairs, there was a large stack of burnt paper and several firecrackers on the table.

In his previous life, he had already done it countless times, so Bai Ningyuan was also familiar with it, and when he walked to the kitchen and saw that Li Shuling's dumplings were about to come out of the pot, Bai Ningyuan informed Bai Hong, took a firecracker, went out to find a tree to hang on it, and then tore open the fuse and lit it.

After a crackling sound, there was a big red in front of the door, as if a red carpet had been rolled out.

After today, the property will invite a special cleaning company to come to clean and tidy up, so Bai Ningyuan didn't care about these anymore, but returned home, first came to the temporary "family hall" set up in the kitchen and kowtowed respectfully three times, and then came to the restaurant and ate steaming dumplings.

This meal is specially prepared for Bai Hong and Bai Ningyuan, as for Li Shuling, she will have to wait until Bai Ningyuan's grandmother gets up for a while before re-eating a pot together.

"Don't stay there for too long, come back early!" Li Shuling said while cleaning up the table and facing Bai Hong, who was eating.

According to the customs of Lao Langya, in addition to worshipping ancestors on the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is also the day when the married daughter returns to her parents' house, so Bai Ningyuan and their grandmother are going to Bai Ningyuan's grandmother's house at noon.

Bai Hong nodded, then put some of the prepared gifts into the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz, and walked out of the community with Bai Ningyuan, heading straight to the direction of his hometown.

Bai Ningyuan's hometown is in a place called Songjiazhuang in the north of Langya, although it is called Songjiazhuang, but most of the people in the village are surnamed Bai, it is said that the reason why it is called Songjiazhuang is because the landlord here used to be named after the surname Song.

To be honest, Bai Ningyuan didn't like Songjiazhuang.

Bai Hong became a soldier at the age of 18, and later professionally arrived in the place, so he settled down in Langya City, although Songjiazhuang is Bai Ningyuan's hometown, but he was born in the city, grew up in the city, even if he was a child, his grandmother had to take him to Songjiazhuang's old house every year to live for a while, but he had no sense of closeness to Songjiazhuang.

Especially every time he returns to his hometown, he hears some negative news, whose children are divorced, whose old man is dead, who messes with his nephew and daughter-in-law, who embezzles into the class, who fights with his brothers and sisters because of family property, and so on, every time he hears this kind of thing, Bai Ningyuan always feels very strange, because of this, he has no good impression of those "relatives" in his hometown who seem to be honest and honest, but in fact have all kinds of dirty things.

According to the custom, they first went to Bai Hong's cousin, that is, Bai Ningyuan's cousin's house, and then went together to worship their ancestors.

At this time, the road in the village had not yet been repaired, so Bai Ningyuan listened to the car at the door of a factory not far away, and then picked up a box of wine in the trunk and walked towards his uncle's house with Bai Hong.

Bai Ningyuan's cousin Bailing was also a soldier, participated in the Vietnam War, and served as the village party secretary for several years after returning from demobilization.

"Second brother, are you ready?" Bai Hong pushed open the door of Bai Ling's house, and shouted loudly while walking towards the house, perhaps because the breath of the living person alarmed the big wolf dog guarding the door, and he barked wildly at the throat, and the iron chain he pulled made a rattling sound.

Bai Ningyuan followed closely behind Bai Hong, walked into the house, put the box of wine he was holding at the door, and then entered the east house.

At this time, Bai Ling was sitting on the kang with his wife, watching TV, eating dumplings, and taking a sip of the small wine in the cup from time to time.

After hearing Bai Hong's refusal, Bai Ling didn't insist, and still ate slowly by himself.

Bai Ning sat there bored, and this kind of scene was staged almost every year.

I don't know how to do it, a figure pushed open the door and walked in, after seeing Bai Hong's father and son, he smiled on his face, and called Bai Hong, "Second uncle!" This is Bai Ling's son Bai Yan, after graduating from secondary school, he first worked in a food factory, just got married last year, and now he is raising pigs with Bai Ling.

At this time, Bai Yan was not as sloppy and decadent as in later generations, although he still looked stupid, but he still had a little aura, and in another seven or eight years, his wife would cheat, and he would fool around outside after divorcing him with a pair of children, and Bai Yan, who was only thirty-six or seventeen years old at that time, looked decadent with a scruffy beard, as if he had lost his soul, and only knew how to drink and work.

The process of worshipping ancestors is very boring, Bai Ling, who was walking side by side with Bai Hong in front, began to talk about the pork market last year, how much he earned, and how to expand the scale this year, with a bit of show-off in his words, and at the same time kept pushing Bai Hong to invest money and do it together, which is about to become a fixed program that he does every year.

Bai Hong jumped from the village to the city to become a worker, and married a daughter-in-law in the city, becoming an inspirational model that everyone in the village envied at that time, you must know that in the eighties, to think of being a worker in the enterprise, it is difficult to do it without a relationship, almost everyone is praising his good life, and Bai Ling, who also came back from demobilization, can only guard his wife in the village with his face to the loess and his back to the sky, although they are all cousins, but he has always been very unconvinced.

At the end of the nineties, the enterprise was restructured, and a large number of workers were laid off, but at this time, Bai Ling began to raise pigs and make a fortune and made a little money.

Hearing these familiar tones again, Bai Hong didn't answer, just with an indifferent smile, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Bai Ningyuan who was following behind him, his eyes were full of satisfaction......
