Chapter 163: Ancestor Worship

The idea that came up in the summer and made the farm a big hit was something that would happen a long, long time later, and although there was a plan now, it was not immediately possible, and the people and things needed had to be prepared, and the timing was not right, so I could not mention it for the time being. However, the summer also reminded Uncle Xia that he should not relax his vigilance against every move of the businessmen of the island country, the people of the island country have always been wolf ambitions and have to guard against it.

For the summer ...... No, it should be the Xia family, the most important thing at the moment is to worship the ancestors, although this ceremony is held every year, but after all, it is just a ceremony. But today is different, Uncle Xia has finally returned, which is a very important thing for the Xia family. You must know that it has been almost half a century since Grandpa Xia encountered family opposition and eloped away from the Xia family with Grandma Xia, and a lot of things have happened in the past 50 years. And the Xia family in City B did not forget the last wish of Mrs. Xia, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to find the runaway Uncle Xia's family, although it took a little time, but in the end it was found, the family up and down, old and young are particularly excited, failed so many times, they are going to give up, but they didn't expect that at the moment when they were about to give up, they actually found someone, probably because God took pity on them, so they met their wishes.

Now that someone has been found, this year's New Year should not be spent in a chaotic manner like in previous years, you know, this is the first New Year of their family reunion, which is very meaningful and can be recorded in the family history. In particular, the ritual of ancestor worship should also be very different from previous years, in addition to ancestor worship, the new population should also be added to the family tree. According to Xia Zewu's statement, Xia Erye, as the head of the family, has been staying in Wanjiazhuang, but the tasks that should be assigned have not been left behind. In his memories of more than 20 or 30 years, the whole atmosphere of the ancestor worship ceremony and the preparation process was very dull, whether it was the housekeeper or the servants, the expressions on his faces were extremely dull. But this year is completely different, everyone is in high spirits, the mood seems to be very good, and the most important thing is that the efficiency of doing things is very high, what used to take three days to complete, now it can be completed in one to one and a half days, which shows how much everyone is looking forward to the return of Uncle Xia.

This point, Xia is very clear, the last time he came to B City, the big housekeeper was very excited, holding his hand and recalling Grandpa Xia's past, from just birth to before running away from home, all the things that Grandpa Xia did were told by the old housekeeper, and there were even many things, it is estimated that Grandpa Xia himself did not remember.

"Alas, if the eldest young master could hold on for a while longer, three days at most, the old lady would have relented, and he would not have been uprooted from his hometown for so many years. ”

Xia remembered that the old housekeeper used this sentence as a conclusion, and also remembered the regret on the old housekeeper's face, he felt that the old housekeeper should regret that the old lady Xia did not see his son, grandson, and great-grandson come home with his own eyes.

The news of the Xia family's eldest returning home has already spread throughout the entire circle, in their circle, the Xia family, the Bai family, and the Shu family are well-known families with few people, and the families who are good friends with these three families are very worried about them, worried that they will have no successor or anything, and the family standing on the opposite side of them has always been a special schadenfreude, hoping that one day, when they open their eyes in the morning, they will learn the news that one or two of these three families have disappeared from this world. Although I know that this is a fool's dream, it is always good to have a hope, in case the dream can come true, they will also earn it.

It's a pity that their dream is destined not to come true, the line of the boss of the Xia family can be said to be prosperous, especially Xia's father, who has already discussed with Xia's mother, and when Lele's child grows up a few years old, he will add a younger brother or sister to him and Xia. Anyway, their family is relatively wealthy, and it is not a burden to raise an extra child. As for Uncle Xia, although they have decided to be with Bai Xi, they also have plans to have their own children, of course, they have also asked Bai Zhongqiu's opinion for this idea. If Bai Zhongqiu didn't agree, they wouldn't make up their own minds.

"So, you said yes?"

"Of course, why not? I hope they want a few more to ease our burden. ”

"You're thinking long-term, Brother Qiu. ”

It can also stop those people's mouths, saving them from talking sour things all day long and worrying about other people's property. ”

"I have to say, those people's hearts are really as bad as ever, where are the people who are looking forward to other people's families cutting off their children and grandchildren? That is, they will have such bad intentions, and they are simply hopeless. In the summer, he put on the Hanfu specially ordered by Xia Erye, turned around in front of the computer, and raised his eyebrows at Bai Zhongqiu, who was separated by a screen and seemed to have not woken up yet, "Don't they know that there are many things like heirs, but not much? If I remember correctly, there are indeed a lot of heirs of those bad guys, but unfortunately, there are not many who can really get their hands on them, most of them are people who don't learn and don't know how to eat, and wait for death." If they don't think about it carefully, maybe their property will be destroyed in the hands of these people, and they still have time to worry about other people's family affairs. Besides, our family is not sparsely populated now. The second grandfather said that with our lineage, the Xia family can also be said to be prosperous. ”

"Well, those people are obsessed with the authorities, who can see the shortcomings of others, but cannot see their own flaws. ”

"I don't think I can't see it, it's just that there's no good way. Xia Xia tightened his waist, flicked his sleeves and said, "They should think that their family has a big business, and they don't lack the money to raise waste snacks, so they let the uncompetitive guys do nothing." ”

It is also possible that they did it on purpose, after all, there can only be one person in the head of the family, and there are too many capable people, which is not conducive to the unity of the family. Thinking about it this way, there is nothing wrong with having few people, at least there is no need to worry about family discord and fratricidal disasters due to family property. Bai Zhongqiu squinted his eyes at Xia Xia, who was wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, and curled the corners of his lips, "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen you wearing Hanfu." I don't think you've ever made a costume drama, right?"

"Hmm. Summer nodded, stood in front of the dressing mirror and took a photo, "My original appearance is not very suitable for filming costume dramas, and I have tried the costume style once or twice, and it is so bad that it is ugly." Not to mention the director, even I can't look past it myself, so I won't choose this kind of role, and I don't have to recruit myself from black. ”

"It's fitting right now. Bai Zhongqiu picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip and said, "When will the sacrificial ceremony begin?"

"Hmm......" Summer looked up at the alarm clock on her desk, "I'm going downstairs in half an hour." ”

"You go get ready, I'll go sleep again. ”

"Didn't sleep well last night?"

"Erbo pulled me to play a game for half a night. ”

"Hehehe, he must have lost miserably. "Summer covered his mouth and snickered, his second brother's skills in playing games are simply scum, but he likes to play games, play any game, and specifically find masters to challenge, repeatedly defeated, repeatedly defeated, and repeatedly defeated, it is simply a model of waste wood sharpening knives Huo Huo is ready to counterattack, but I don't know when I can really succeed in counterattacking. Xia Xia sighed softly and waved her paw at Bai Zhongqiu, "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Xiaoqiu, go to sleep, remember to come early tomorrow with Xiao Changchang, I'll prepare food for you!"

"Good. ”

Summer stared at the dark computer screen for a while before he heard a knock on the door outside, he tidied up his clothes, opened the door and went downstairs with Xia's mother, who came to call him.

At noon, under the leadership of the head of the family, Xia Erye, the Xia family lined up in several rows according to their seniority, walked into the ancestral hall in turn, and knelt in front of the tablet of the ancestors of the Xia family. According to the rules of ancient times, the female dependents and children of the family must wait outside the ancestral hall, and they cannot enter the ancestral hall without being summoned by the head of the family. But now the times are different, and the rules have to be changed, so Grandma Xia knelt in Grandpa Xia's original position, Xia's mother knelt next to Xia's father, and Xia, as the youngest generation of the Xia family, knelt in the last row with Lele's children.

Summer is not the first time to worship ancestors, the Bai family will also open an ancestral hall during the New Year's Festival, and the scene is much larger than that of the Xia family, after all, the Bai family has many branches and a lot of population. Therefore, when it was his turn, a series of actions such as incense and kowtowing were more natural, and the onlookers Xia Erye and Xia Sanye nodded silently in their hearts, and the children could be taught.

When it was Lele's turn to kowtow, there was a big joke, it should have been Xia's father or Xia's mother holding him, but I don't know which of Lele's children suddenly made a mistake, and they refused to let their parents hug them. In the end, it was Summer who probably understood a little bit of Lele's child's meaning, and carefully placed him on the futon.

Lele's children spit two mouthfuls of saliva towards the summer, ahhh
