The matter of worshiping ancestors, in Wen Xu's opinion, is to kowtow and burn incense, in fact, it is almost the same, but this time Wen Shigui also made a statement to the ancestors about the current situation in the village or a good life or something, the purpose is to comfort the ancestors in the spirit of the sky, and tell them that we are living now, and we have become a village where many girls have sharpened their heads and want to marry in.

Because the ancestor worship of the year ago is the most formal in the whole year, and it is also the highest in the whole year, so there are three animals on the altar, that is, pigs, cattle and sheep, of course, not the whole, but with the pig's head and the sheep's head and the cow's head respectively, the whole pig, cow and sheep's head is placed in the center of the altar, visually it is still quite imposing, plus melon and fruit cakes, completely filled the entire altar.

The only change in Wenjia Village this year is that firecrackers can be set off, because everyone generally reacts, there is no firecracker sound and the smell of the year is gone, so the village has opened the net, stipulating that firecrackers can be set off from the first day to the seventh day of the new year, but only within 500 rings, if anyone violates it, it is still the old rule of Wenjia Village, fine money and lower the level of renting land in the future. So after the ancestor worship was completed, the sound of firecrackers resounded in the village after almost a year.

After waiting for the sacrifice to be completed, everyone went home from the ancestral hall, Wen Xu arrived at home, the meal was ready, Li Yumei also went to the temple to ask for a peace charm for everyone, although Wen Xu didn't believe in this thing, but knew that this was a piece of his niece's heart, so he thanked him, and solemnly took it and put it in his pocket.

In the afternoon, it was much easier than in the morning, and there was almost nothing to do in everyone's house, just a bend and a door or something, but the sky was not beautiful, and in the evening the sky began to drift with light snow.

Just when there was a light snow, Wen Xu's house was lively.

Wen Xu and Shi Shangzhen, including Hang Xiangdong and Li Yumei, all stood at the door, as for Hang Chen and Xiao Yao, they naturally couldn't run, and everyone went to the door to greet the old man, except for him, it is estimated that there is no one in this village who is worthy of Hang Xiangdong and Li Yumei to come out to greet him.

Waiting for the old man to appear in sight, Wen Xu couldn't help but be a little surprised, turned his head to look behind the old man, and then asked the old man, "Grandpa, why are you so human?"

The old man stretched out his finger and pointed to a guard behind him and said with a smile: "The ones who are free tonight are the ones who are free, and the rest of the people are on duty at various posts, I told them that I am an old man who has no power and no power who will harm me, but they are on a mission, they can't help them, they have a task and perform the task, this is their duty, and I have no right to interfere in this regard."

"Wen Xu's side has prepared two tables full of dishes, and now it seems that we can't sit at one table," Shi Shangzhen said, walked forward, and stretched out his hand to support Old Man Shi's arm.

Wen Xu also wanted to walk forward when he saw this, but who knew that he hadn't raised his hand yet, so the master smiled and said, "I haven't reached this level yet! Don't hold on to it, I think I can kill the tiger now."

The old man seemed to be in a very good mood now, and as he spoke, he also tweaked his sleeves and clenched his fists.

Li Yumei looked at it and praised it with a smile and said: "Uncle Shi, don't say it, your complexion is much better than the last time I came, both sides of your cheeks are ruddy, and your spirit is much better than before."

When the old man heard this, he was even happier and said with a smile: "Xiao Li, can you see it too? I think so myself, and the whole person has been in a lot of energy during this time." This morning, the doctor has to give a check-up, and what do you guess when I check the results? All the indicators are generally better than before, so I said, well, we are far away from right and wrong here, and we two old men get together to plant a melon and plant a fruit, and the body of the idle clouds and wild cranes can not be raised."

When Shi Shangzhen heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he asked in surprise, "Really?"

The new secretary who followed the old man saw that the old man was in a good mood today, and immediately smiled and said to Shi Shangzhen: "It's true, all physical indicators have improved a lot, and it's a lot stronger than when I first came here."

The old man smiled and stretched out his new secretary: "You, you just exaggerate your achievements!"

As he spoke, he patted Shi Shangzhen's hand on his arm: "There is improvement, but it would be nonsense to say anything else, I am so old, and God will give you a day in one day!"

The old man's mentality is very good, he now holds the idea that one day is to earn a day, and he lives every day happily, and he doesn't know if the old man's mentality has played a role, or the climate of Wenjia Village, as well as the space and water in Wen Xu's house, the old man's physical function has recovered, and even the old man's physical condition has not continued to deteriorate, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the Shi family and the Qiu family.

"Grandpa, what you said about this Chinese New Year, bah, bah, bah, bad spirits!" Shi Shangzhen was immediately unhappy.

"Okay, okay, I didn't say it!" Old Man Shi laughed heartily.

"Everyone is in the house, although the snow is small, it's still cold," Wen Xu said, rubbing his hands.

The teacher nodded when he heard this, and waved his hand: "Enter the house, enter the house, and eat Chinese New Year's Eve!"

Hearing the old man say this, everyone went to the house together, first let the old man into the house, and then everyone entered the house one after another, and as soon as they entered the house, they began to put up the plates directly.

Wen Xu prepared two tables, but now there is not even a table full, his own calculation is seven people, Wen Xu's small two, and his uncle Hang Xiangdong's family of three, plus a Xiaoyao, the old man, there are only so many full calculations, plus two guards and the old man's secretary, that is, ten people, the round table of twelve people will be able to fill up, and the rest of the table will be empty.

"Grandpa, you eat first, I put away another table of dishes and send them to the other soldiers, and let everyone eat some hot ones during the New Year" Wen Xu and Li Yumei discussed it and decided to send this table of dishes to the young soldiers on duty.

Hearing Wen Xu say this, the secretary and the two little soldiers who were originally seated immediately stood up and took the initiative to ask themselves to do this work.

Wen Xu, how can he let them do this work today, and immediately said: "You are all guests today, how can there be a host who lets guests deliver meals, the big guys are sitting steadily, I will come when I go!"

The old man waved his hand at this time: "Sit down, let Wen Xu, this kid go, you can honestly follow me as a guest today!"

Wen Xu was just about to leave, when he saw Li Yumei hurriedly walked out, took a few plastic boxes, and stopped Wen Xu: "Wait, wait!

Wen Xu saw that this was a dumpling box, and there were raw dumplings in it, and opened his mouth to ask, "When did you wrap these?"

"In the afternoon, I heard them say that they have to work the night shift in the evening, and I have nothing to do, so I wrapped five or six people's portions, not much, and when the water is boiled, I don't know what flavor everyone loves, so I made three kinds, leeks, cabbage, and cabbage eggs, all of which are pasted on them, and everyone likes to eat what" Li Yumei said.

Wen Xu stretched out a thumbs up to his aunt: "It's still thoughtful as you think!"

Li Yumei made a lot of dumplings for the little warriors here, and it is estimated that seven or eight little soldiers can eat together for this amount, and I have to say that the old man's mind is fine, neither Wen Xu nor Shi Shangzhen thought of going along the way.

"Let's go quickly," Li Yumei put the dumpling box on the warm dinner box.

Wen Xu answered and then went to the door, put on a hat and scarf, and went out with a large lunch box.

Just when Wen Xu walked out of the door and crossed the small bridge without walking a few steps, he suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers, and each firecracker sound meant that a family had started the first reunion dinner of the new year. With the sound of firecrackers, soon the whole village almost sounded as if it was good, one after another, and the crackling firecrackers suddenly seemed to open the curtain of the New Year.

Wen Xu walked on the road with the food box, braving Xiaoxue's ears to listen to the constant sound of firecrackers, and then looked up to see the street lights shining on the road, the flaming red lanterns were red and white and reflected each other until they reached the sight of the place, looking at the ears and listening, smelling the gunpowder emitted by the firecrackers in the nose, and from time to time passing by the small courtyard of other houses, you can also hear the cheers of the children looking at the firecrackers.

It's Chinese New Year!

These three words suddenly jumped out of Wen Xu's heart.

At this moment, Wen Xue really felt the familiar flavor of the New Year, Wen Xu didn't feel this way for a long time, Wen Xu never felt much joy in the New Year when he was alone at home before, but today he did feel it.

The lunch box was sent to the small courtyard where the little man lived, and then returned to his house with the food box, and when he entered the house, Wen Xu found that everyone was still sitting and chatting, and there was no banquet, so he asked with a smile: "Why didn't you eat first?"

The old man said with a smile: "Reunion dinner, where is the reunion without you!Now that you are back, Xiaoyao and Chen girl, you two hurry up and set off firecrackers, let's get ready for dinner."

"Hey!"

Hearing the words of the old man, Xiao Yao and Hang Chen immediately stood up from the chairs, Xiao Yao ran to the door first, grabbed the long pole hanging the whip, and then shouted happily at Hang Chen: "I grabbed it first, you can only light the gun!"

"Whoever wants to pick a pole is tired!" Hang Chen was a little unwilling, but he admitted to losing the bet, so he had to say that he didn't want to do the tiring work of picking a pole.

"You think I'm going to believe you?" Xiao Yao had already seen through his little cousin's true thoughts, and immediately said proudly.

Hang Chen naturally didn't admit it: "If you can see it, then how will I mix it up in the future!"

The two of them walked into the courtyard one by one, and within ten seconds, firecrackers also sounded in the courtyard of Wen Xu's house, which also meant that Wen Xu's family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner had officially begun.

"Cheers!"

When all the people sitting at the table stood up, those with wine raised their glasses, and those without wine touched all the glasses with their drinks.

After the six glasses of wine at the beginning, according to the custom, it is natural to do their own thing, and they began to toast, the highest generation here is naturally the old man, and the rest are Hang Xiangdong and Li Yumei, the old man can't drink, the secretary looked at it tightly and said that the doctor gave the amount of two taels, and the old man had to keep the amount and drink slowly.

It's all fake with the elders, Wen Xu and the old man's secretary, and the two guards are the real ones.

The old man looked at Wen Xu and found his own guard, and said with a smile: "Wen Xu, these are the two people who can drink the most around me, and Secretary Qian can also drink as much as he wants, and there is no problem with more than a catty!"

Secretary Qian listened to the wine and said with a wry smile: "I said chief, don't praise me, okay, I trembled at Shang Wenxu's legs and stomach, I heard that he drank a canteen of Huang Fuguo!"

"I'm responsible for accompanying everyone, let's not get drunk, just drink comfortably, okay?" Wen Xu really didn't plan to pour them wine, but as the host, Wen Xu had to 'undertake' the task of accompanying the guests.

The warm guests were well accompanied, and when the meal was finished in a few hours, the guests were a little swaying.
