By one o'clock in the morning, the day's worship was finally over.

Although there was also a time to rest halfway, Li Ming still felt a little tired and tired.

Originally, Li Ming could have gone to rest early, but he still persevered to the end.

Except for the grandfather who is a filial son and a filial daughter, who needs to persevere to the end, other people can go to rest and sleep halfway without having to persist until now.

Even the grandparents in many villages couldn't hold on and went back to bed early.

And these people are some very old people.

Even Li Ming's father-in-law and second grandfather seem to be in poor spirits, an old man in his sixties, staying up late like this, and being busy all day during the day, anyone will be a little mentally depressed.

However, as parents and children, they must not go to rest early like those of their peers in the village.

In fact, there are really few people of this age, except for Li Ming's two grandfathers, who persist in worshipping the spirit to the end.

Basically, those who remain are some people who are older but not very old, or some middle-aged or young people who are lower.

In the middle of the night, Li Ming felt that his stomach was also a little hungry, but he felt that he was more sleepy now, and when he looked at Li Mei beside him, his squinting eyes were obviously tired.

"Let's go to bed first! I'm afraid there won't be a bed in a while!"

"Hmm!"

Li Ming took Li Mei back to the room where she usually rested and slept.

Unfortunately, there was already someone on the bed in that room.

Li Ming knew that it was too late, and said helplessly: "Let's go look elsewhere!"

Li Ming looked at several places in a row, and there were people. Halfway through, Li Ming also met his mother.

When Li's mother saw Li Ming, she asked, "Don't you go to sleep yet?"

"Everyone has slept, but I haven't found a place to sleep!" Li Ming was a little weak.

Li's mother said a few things. But Li Ming has been to see all these places.

In the end, Li's mother counted Li Ming: "When I was early, I asked you to go to bed, but I was afraid that you wouldn't sleep when it was late." You still haven't listened, and now you don't even have a place to sleep!"

Li Ming had no choice but to let his mother count down.

Just after counting her son, Li's mother looked at Li Mei beside Li Ming and said, "If you don't go to sleep early, why is Li Mei too"

Li Ming was a little embarrassed: "Isn't this unexpected?"

Li's mother ignored her son's explanation at all, and said, "I see." Don't look for it, there shouldn't be a bed at home, you go and look at the fire room, the sofa shouldn't be sleeping yet. Li Mei will follow me to your second grandfather's house, there should be a place somewhere!"

Regarding Li's mother's arrangement, Li Mingna can object.

Immediately, he let Li Mei leave with her mother. And he can only go to the fire room to see if the sofa there can sleep, as his mother said.

But. Maybe today is not Li Ming's lucky day, there is no one sleeping on the sofa, but there are also some people sitting on it. Where to play cards.

Helpless, Li Ming withdrew directly.

He came to the backyard, which was completely vacated, with several fires, large and small. It was all wood cut from the mountain, and during the day, Li Ming also went to the mountain to carry these cut wood down.

These fires. More or less there were some people sitting around.

Li Ming looked at it, like walking to one of them.

An uncle around the fire saw Li Ming approaching, so he shouted, "Ming'er, why don't you go to sleep yet?"

This is the eldest son of Li Ming's second grandfather's family, and he is also an uncle who is closer to Li Ming.

Li Ming looked at the roasted artichoke that was still hot in his uncle's hand, and said, "Didn't you smell the smell of artichoke, so you came!"

The other people sitting by the fire also laughed when they heard this, and one of them said, "You have a sharp nose, this artichoke has just been cooked, and you have come here!"

Another took a few potatoes out of the wood with a stick in his hand and said, "These are all cooked!"

Li Ming was not polite, stepped forward and took the largest one, and came to sit down beside his uncle.

This firewood is very vigorous, although it burns wood that has just been cut from the mountain, but it is not much weaker than dry firewood, and it is more durable and durable.

Of course, the smoke is a little bigger.

These are minor issues, though.

Li Ming had just sat by the fire when he felt the heat rushing to his face.

They chatted as they ate roasted potatoes from the fire, sitting on soft hay and some straws left over from last year.

On this day, Li Ming rested and slept by the fire.

Because the bed at home was occupied by some relatives and friends who came today, not only Li Ming, but even several of his uncles did not find a bed to sleep in.

Some went to sleep in other houses in the village, and there were also people like Li Ming who went directly to the fire to stay for a night.

The next day, early, Li Ming, who heard the movement, woke up.

At this time, the genius was just dawning, but someone was already starting to do things.

The fire around Li Ming was not as bright as last night, and the firewood inside, except for the larger ones, had almost burned to the ground, piled up with a thick layer of wood ash, and there were some sparks shining sporadically.

Li Ming looked around.

In the courtyard, some people set up pots, and some people began to light firewood.

Li Ming saw that it was his second uncle and a few uncles and grandfathers in the village, so he asked, "Second uncle, what are you doing here?"

Before Li Ming's second uncle could answer, a relative in the village where Li Ming should have called his grandfather said: "Boil water, prepare to kill pigs!"

The second uncle nodded, and said, "Call your uncle up, and I'm going to Uncle Shengmin's house to drive the pigs to kill!"

Li Ming turned his head and saw that the uncle of his second grandfather's family was still sleeping, and it seemed that he was very tired last night!

Li Ming shook his arm and shouted, "Uncle, uncle"

The uncle opened his eyes and saw Li Ming, but he still seemed to be a little unconscious, and blinked a few more times.

Finally, with his eyes fully open, he sat up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I'm going to Shengmin's grandfather's house to drive pigs to kill!"

"Oh!"

Shaking his head, the uncle stood up.

He also saw Li Ming's second uncle, so he said, "When are you going?"

"Right now!"

The second uncle looked at Li Ming and said, "By the way, Li Ming, go to the front to find your uncle and ask him if he is going to kill one pig or two?"

The uncle that the second uncle asked Li Ming to find would definitely not be the one that Li Ming had just woken up.

This time, it was his own uncle who was looking for him.

"Okay!"

Li Ming, who had just finished agreeing, turned around and walked to the front room. (To be continued.) )
