Chapter 124: Worship

Mother-in-law?!

Ye Mu almost came down from the bench, but she pushed away Ye Manwen's outstretched hand, and said with wide eyes: "You two have received the certificate?"

"Hmm"

Ye Manwen was a little worried that his mother would blame him for not consulting her in advance, and said casually: "A few days ago...... Certificates. ”

This is undoubtedly bomb news.

Although Ji Yun is very good in terms of appearance, temperament, temperament, and net worth, he got the certificate directly without the consent of his parents!

Ye Mu, who has lived in a closed small mountain village all her life, couldn't accept it, so she threw her chopsticks directly and entered the back room.

"Manwen~"

Ji Yun stood up at a loss.

Manzhi was also stunned for a long time before he reacted, and pulled Ye Manwen and Ji Yun to sit down again: "It's okay, it's okay, get it early and get it late, anyway, you all have to get the certificate." ”

"Mom is old after all, and her thoughts can't keep up with you young people in big cities, and in a few days, she will be able to recover well. ”

"When my daughter grows up, she always has to get married. ”

When he first got the certificate, it was also sudden, Ye Manwen sighed, and now he can only wait for his mother to slowly dissipate her anger.

At night in the countryside, the sky is blue, and after eating, the family sits on a bench in the yard and eats fruits, chats a few words, and goes to bed early.

The next day, when the first rooster crowed, Ye Manwen fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly heard someone in the kitchen cleaning up.

When she got up to wash, a large basket had been placed in the yard, and Manzhi was putting firecrackers and candles into the basket, and when she saw Ye Manwen getting up, she hurriedly smiled and urged:

"Manwen, you hurry up, and go to the ancestral hall with Ji Yun to worship your ancestors in a while. ”

Ye Manwen put the towel on his shoulder, and said while brushing his teeth: "Is it a holiday today?"

Manzhi went into the kitchen and took out a whole cooked big rooster and put it into another basket, looked at the upper room, and whispered:

"Today, before dawn, my mother got up to kill chickens, and my mother said that since you and Ji Yun are married, you should go to worship your ancestors. ”

Ye Manwen was stunned, but this etiquette is usually after the bride returns to the door, Ye Manwen rinsed his mouth and called Ji Yun up.

After the two of them finished packing up, when they were about to leave, Ye Mu walked out of the room.

Today, Ye's mother wore a bright red casual suit, which was the wedding dress she wore when she got married, and Ye Manwen remembered that only every year during the Chinese New Year, her mother would take it out of the cabinet.

It's been almost 30 years, but it's still brand new.

"Hurry up, eight o'clock in the morning is a good hour, I have calculated with the master, hurry up." ”

The three pairs of eyes in the courtyard stared, Ye Mu was obviously embarrassed, and walked forward in a hurry. Ji Yun and Ye Manwen glanced at each other, picked up two big baskets, and hurriedly followed.

The ancestral hall is the ancestral hall of Yejia Village, located in the middle of the village, and has been cleaned and cared for for many years, so as to ensure that the incense is continuous.

The building of the ancestral hall is to adopt the structure of ancient times, there is a big archway in front, and the archway hangs the four big characters of "Ye's ancestral hall".

The walls and pillars are carved with intricate patterns, mostly mythological stories or mythological characters.

The ancestral hall is divided into two entrances, the first one is to enshrine the status of the ancestral tablet, because the Ye ancestral hall has been established for nearly a hundred years, the ancestors of each branch can be placed on the tablet.

Layered, dense but neat and orderly.

Three teas and five wines, rice, and big roosters are arranged in order from top to bottom, and after the incense is applied, Ye Mu asked Ji Yun and Ye Manwen to kneel on the futon, fold their hands, and say reverently:

"Ancestors and ancestors, today is the first day of the seventh month, I am Ye Shixian's wife, and today I bring my daughter Ye Manwen and my son-in-law Ji Yun to worship you. ”

"Please, bless them with good health, good health, and harmony for a lifetime. ”

Ye Mu bowed three times, and then said to Ye Manwen and the others: "Kowtow to the ancestors." ”

After the two of them bowed three times and knocked nine times, and stood up from the futon, Ye Mu asked Ji Yun to go to the second wine, and then burned the firecrackers, and when the firecrackers were finished, they burned the dark coins.

Finally, another wine is added, and everyone bows three times, and the ritual of worshipping the ancestors is completed.

Manzhi did not follow him to the ancestral hall, and there was only one time in her life that a girl could enter the Ye ancestral hall, that is, the day she returned to the door after getting married, and told her daughter that she had married another woman by worshiping her ancestors.

"Quick, eat a bowl of noodles first. ”

Manzhi brought the boiled rice noodles to the square table in the courtyard, and greeted the three people who came back from the ancestral hall, Ji Yun felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach today:

"Sister, I'..... I'll eat it later. ”

"That's not going to work!"

Man Zhi smiled and pressed Ji Yun on the bench in front of the square table: "The ancestors are placed, but whether you are hungry or not, you have to eat a bowl of noodles first, this is our custom here." ”

After eating a bowl of noodles, Mother Ye carried the urine bucket to her own field outside to water the vegetables, Manzhi released the chickens, fed the chicken food, and spread the taro seedlings picked back by Mother Ye yesterday in the yard.

Ye Manwen moved a small stool and followed to help remove those old leaves.

Manzhi took a big foot basin to clean, and Ji Yun was responsible for cutting these seedlings into small sections, and after drying these seedlings, they were put into a sealed jar, sealed the mouth, and put them in the scorching sun.

Manzhi poured out the water from the somewhat muddy foot basin, turned on the faucet, stood up and wiped his face, and said, "Manwen, when my mother went to the vegetable garden in the morning, let me ask you, do you two plan to set up wine in your hometown?"

"No!"

Ye Manwen didn't think about it, so he refused directly.

In the countryside, you have to be busy at least half a month in advance, although there are neighbors and villagers to help, but after a banquet, the whole person will lose ten pounds.

Manzhi turned off the faucet and hesitated: "Manwen, I think my mother means that she wants to make wine, otherwise she wouldn't have asked you." ”

"When my mother was young, she nagged for a long time, and when our family became rich, she would hold a banquet in a beautiful manner, or ......"

Ji Yun's kitchen knife was directly chopped on the chopping board, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "Since my mother-in-law, if you want to do it, then do it, anyway, we are not short of money." ”

Ye Manwen didn't agree very much: "If it's a banquet, my mother will be so anxious, maybe she will be tired and sick." ”

Ji Yun smiled:

"Since you are worried about tired mother-in-law, then we can directly set up a restaurant in the county seat, and when the time comes, don't be afraid that it will be inconvenient for people in the village to take the car, just rent a few big shuttles, and lead people directly to the restaurant, we don't have to worry about anything." ”

Manzhi clapped his hands excitedly: "This attention is good, it is both effortless and decent." Mom must be satisfied. ”

It costs a few more dollars.

Ye Manwen saw that Ji Yun had already made a decision, so he also nodded.
