Since buying a computer, Wang Fumin has found that his son spends the rest of his time in his hut except for running in the mountains and exercising.

Then the neighbor He Fei also went to Wang Shaodong's house every day to play with his son, and after entering the hut, he didn't come out for half a day.

At first, Wang Fumin thought that his son was addicted to playing games all day long, but one day he went in to take a look and found that his son seemed to be teaching He Fei not to know anything.

It turned out that Wang Shaodong was trying to teach He Fei the bit of C programming he learned in college.

The reason why Wang Shaodong did this? The reason is very simple, that is, he knows that He Fei is a young man who is very talented in computers, and he wants him to learn some basic computer science first. Then the next step was to learn computer programming and let him write plug-ins for the games he played.

He Fei is three years younger than Wang Shaodong, he is only in his first year of high school this year, and his grades are good.

Unexpectedly, He Fei's talent in computers is amazing, and in just a few days, he has already figured out the principles of the C language, and then he has learned the use of functions, and it is very easy to make a plug-in.

This made Wang Shaodong very happy, and he didn't have to worry about using other people's plug-ins and being stolen in the future.

Because it was during the summer vacation, and He Fei had no one to assign homework after the middle school exam, He Fei's father, He Jiaxiang, didn't pay much attention to what his son was doing all day.

In 2002, all the children in the countryside were free-range, and no parent would have enrolled their children in a tutoring class or anything during the summer vacation.

In two weeks, He Fei not only learned programming, but also became addicted to this "Legend of Blood" that can be played with many players.

I just remembered the years that had passed, and saw that my neighbor He Fei was taken into the pit by myself, which made Wang Shaodong unexpected. If you say that you let He Fei become addicted to online games and delay your studies, then you will feel guilty.

However, in the second week, Wang Shaodong found that He Fei began to follow the path he pointed out to him and began to learn to make up extranumeraries.

Wang Shaodong remembers that when he was in college, he was also a freshman, and he had a roommate in the dormitory of a classmate from Island University, so he made up a game plug-in of "Legend", which was later bought by a big boss for 200,000 yuan.

Of course, if He Fei really writes a useful plug-in in the future, it doesn't mean that he can't give him a sum of money. After all, as a reborn person with memories more than ten years ahead of his time, it is too easy to make some money.

Time flies, and soon it comes to the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar.

The Midyear Festival, commonly known as the Ghost Festival, is a day to worship ancestors.

In the Luzhong region, the Midyear Festival is very important, and the specifications of the sacrifice are the same as those during the New Year.

Early in the morning of July 15, Wang Shaodong followed behind Wang Fumin, and came to the west of the farm not far from a road leading to the Wang's cemetery, and placed the fold of the archway of the three generations of clansmen, and placed three fruit plates in front of the fold, on which some fruits, sugar sticky peanuts and other offerings were placed, and a stick of incense was lit, a handful of yellow paper was burned, and the words were recited in the mouth, "Ancestors, come home and eat well." ”

Then, after Wang Shaodong and Wang Fumin kowtowed, the ceremony was completed.

Then, Wang Shaodong put the fold and fruit saucer in the dustpan and held it, while Wang Fumin held the incense stick that was still in his hand and went home.

The whole hall was cleaned, and there was a table of eight immortals in front of the back window, and the table of eight immortals was against the wall, and the large nave hung on the window.

On the table of the Eight Immortals, there are twelve to eighteen plates, and in the plates are offerings for the ancestors to come home to eat.

Chickens and fish must be had, and the chicken must be a big rooster, and finally it must be a big rooster that is more than ten months old and has long legs and claws, and a cockscomb boss and a beautiful one. The rooster kills, then inserts the two wings through the place where the chicken was cut in the neck, and then pulls them out of the mouth, and then breaks the tendons where the chicken leg bends, and then turns the chicken leg over so that it grabs its back.

The fish is generally carp, and it must be alive, and the tail and head are tied together with a red rope, and the coriander is sprinkled on top to decorate, and the whole looks very conspicuous.

The big rooster and the carp are pictured with the meaning of good luck.

In addition to these, fresh fruits, seasonal vegetables, watermelons, grapes, apples, bananas, celery, tofu, beans, lettuce, etc., have good names and are also good choices for offerings.

When Wang Shaodong's father and son came back after inviting their ancestors, Wang Shaodong's mother Zhao Shiling had already prepared to stop the offering table.

Then, Wang Shaodong put the ancestral tablet fold on the middle hall with a pin and put it up, and Wang Fumin inserted the incense stick into the incense basket in the middle of the front of the Eight Immortals table.

Then, Wang Shaodong filled the tea bowl and wine cup on the table of the Eight Immortals with tea and liquor respectively, and the entire ceremony of the Midyear Festival was half completed.

Because every household has to worship the family table, the sales of roosters and carp are very large during these two days. The price of live firewood roosters in Luzhong also reached a historical peak on July 15, 2002 lunar calendar.

Next, after tomorrow, as the demand plummets all of a sudden, the relationship between supply and demand changes dramatically, and the price of live chickens in Luzhong City will collapse.

Of course, Wang Shaodong knew these things in advance.

And Wang Shaodong is more concerned about when the price of chicks will fall.

On the day of the Midyear Festival, the filial sons and grandchildren should stay at the table of the family hall enshrined in the ancestral tablet, watch the incense burn to the end, and then light another one, and pour out the tea and liquor for new ones every once in a while, and the right to enjoy it as the ancestors.

From about 8 o'clock in the morning to 6 or 7 o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky will be dark, each family will begin to carry out the last procedure of today's sacrificial ceremony, and send it to the family hall.

The Sending Family Hall is held twice a year in the Luzhong area, once on the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year and once on the afternoon of the Midyear Festival. It can also be seen from here that the people in central Shandong attach great importance to the Midyear Festival.

The differences in customs in different regions are huge, and many regions can't even do it for the Midyear Festival.

Taohualing Village Wangjia Cemetery is a common cemetery for the families surnamed Wang in the surrounding six or seven villages, and in the early days, the Wang family of six or seven villages around the Xiangjiatang would gather in the open space in front of the cemetery, but in recent decades, this custom has also been simplified, and most of them gather people with the same surname in their own villages to find a place to hold this procedure.

There is only one Wang Fumin in the Wang family in Taohualing Village, so where to send the family hall, Wang Fumin's father and son can discuss it.

After sending the family hall, Wang Shaodong's next job is to inquire about the price of chicken seedlings. While inquiring about the price of chicken seedlings, Wang Shaodong pondered, how to persuade everyone to contract a greenhouse for each family, and also hire everyone to help him raise chickens?
