After a while, Wulang and Xiao Jiu came over, and when they saw Xu Dalang standing at the door, the smile on his face disappeared. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Brother Da Lang is looking for me?" Gorou's tone is polite but distant, and there is no closeness between brothers at all.

Xu Dalang, who has always regarded himself very highly, has never taken the people in the second room in his eyes, and naturally he does not pay too much attention to Goro. Now at first sight, Goro, is much more elegant and handsome than in his impression, although he is not tall, but he is already personable, a blue cotton robe takes advantage of his face like a crown of jade, and then compared with the old white indigo robe on his body, he is suddenly dwarfed, and his face is a little unsightly.

"Ah Gong asked you and Xiao Jiu to go to the ancestral hall to sacrifice, and take the three animals with you." Xu Dalang looked at Gorou carefully, and his tone became cold.

It was a good calculation, and while taking the opportunity to repair with them, he also knocked them out for a three-animal tribute, Xu Xiangwan secretly sneered.

After the sacrifice, the three animals are uniformly distributed by the elders who lead the sacrifice, and they really prepare the three animals to send to the ancestral hall.

I don't know who came up with this "good idea" either.

However, for the people in the upper room, being able to let them go to the ancestral hall to worship is afraid that it is a great gift to them, and maybe people will think that letting them give three animals is still a charity to them!

"We've all split up, why do we have to prepare three animals?" Xu Xiangwan raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Dalang and asked rhetorically.

Xu Dalang frowned and scolded: "There are no rules, brothers talk, where is your turn to interject?" ”

was scolded by Xu Dalang like this, Xu Xiangwan didn't have time to get angry, but Wulang sank his face first: "Brother Da Lang just take care of your own sister-in-law, my family has my own son to discipline me, don't worry about Brother Da Lang." In addition, don't say that our family doesn't have three animals, even if there are, then you should come out of the long house, and it will not be our turn to divide the second house. ”

Gorou's tough attitude choked Xu Dalang's face.

"Okay, you are all good, anyway, it's not me who doesn't go to sacrifice and suffer, I'm too lazy to talk to you." Xu Dalang was so angry that he shook his long sleeves, turned his head and left.

Xu Dalang's status in the family has always been high, even Old Man Xu has good words for him, and he has never said anything serious, where can he stand the ridicule of Xu Xiangwan and Wulang?

After leaving Xu Dalang angrily, Xu Xiangwan thought that the sacrificial matter was just done, but he didn't expect that before they closed the door, Old Man Xu actually came to the door in person.

"Wulang, Xiao Jiu, why don't you follow your brother Da Lang to the ancestral hall to worship?" There were more wrinkles on Old Man Xu's face, and his originally straight back was also bent, making him look a lot older.

After all, it was his own grandfather, Xu Xiangwan saw a sour nose, so he respectfully greeted Old Man Xu.

However, Old Man Xu didn't pay attention to Xu Xiangwan at all, but looked straight at Wulang and Xiao Jiu.

Obviously, Old Man Xu was very displeased with Xu Xiangwan.

Seeing that Old Man Xu didn't even look at himself, Xu Xiangwan still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but it soon disappeared.

Wulang can handle the things here, Xu Xiangwan didn't bother to stand here and be ignored, and he didn't say hello to Old Man Xu again, turned around and went back to the kitchen.

"Who just came?" Zhang and Xu Qiuyi heard the movement in the courtyard and asked casually.

Xu Xiangwan told Zhang and Xu Qiuyi about Xu Dalang and Old Man Xu's coming.

Hearing this, Zhang sighed lightly: "Anyway, your grandfather can come in person, which shows that he still attaches great importance to our second room." As for the three animals, if you really can't take them out of the upper room, as long as you let your brother and Xiao Jiu go to the ancestral hall to worship, we won't have anything to do. ”

In Zhang's view, being able to worship at the ancestral hall means having a place in the clan, which is more important than anything else.

Moreover, having lived with everyone in the upper room for many years, Zhang's is very familiar with the situation of the upper room. Last year's sacrificial three animals were barely able to get together, and this year's house was even more tight than last year's, and I am afraid that there is no way to get together the three animals.

The three animals of the Great Zhou Dynasty refer to pigs, cattle and sheep. Large families naturally use whole pigs, whole cows, and whole sheep for sacrifices, but for ordinary people, it is generally enough to use pig heads, cow heads, and sheep heads.

Corresponding to the big three animals is the small three animals, and the small three animals refer to chickens, ducks and rabbits.

Although Xujia Village is not rich, no matter how poor a family is, they will not even be able to make up three animals, which is a joke. After all, the farmer family lives by raising livestock and farming, and who can't get together a few pigs, cows, and sheep?

"That's not going to work. Mother, it's not that you don't know the virtues of those people in the upper room, today we have three sacrifices in order to save the face of the upper room, and tomorrow they will let me produce more things. Although our life is better, but these things are not blown by the wind, we live our own lives and save money, how can we take them cheaper? Xu Xiangwan refused without thinking about it, the person who went to the room was not worthy of sympathy. What's more, if you can't afford to use the big three animals, don't you use the same with the small three animals? If they want to save face themselves, let them do it themselves.

Xu Qiuyi, who had never spoken, also said angrily: "Isn't it? They treat our family as a soft persimmon, and they can handle it as much as they want. When there is no money, they sell our sisters to death, afraid that we will drag them down, so they will divide us, and now they see that we can live and come to us to ask for three animals, where is there such a good thing in the world. ”

Zhang's eyes darkened, sighed, and didn't speak again.

While the mother and daughter were talking, Xiao Jiu ran in and said with a flat mouth: "Mother, Sister Yi'er, Sister Wan'er, my brother and I went to the ancestral hall to worship, and we will come back in a while." ”

"Don't we have to give three animals?" Xu Xiangwan immediately asked.

Xiao Jiu snorted angrily and said: "Ah Gong wanted us to come out, saying that he would return the three animals to us after the sacrifice, but our brother said that our family did not prepare these, so Ah Gong didn't say anything." ”

In fact, Old Man Xu said a few words to Wulang in the end, but Wulang gave Xiao Jiu a look and asked him to come back and not talk nonsense, so he couldn't help but not tell the Zhang family.

After telling Zhang and the others, Xiao Jiu and Wulang followed Old Man Xu to the ancestral hall to worship.

Although there is no need to respect the ancestors now, because they have just moved their homes and purchased land, in order to pray for good weather and harmony in their homes next year, the gods cannot be disrespectful.

The Zhang family originally planned to let Wulang take the lead in worshiping the gods, but when Wulang and Xiaojiu went to the ancestral hall, they could only lead the two sisters Xu Xiangwan to worship the gods.

The old man Sanjin and Wuwu both went to eat fried dumplings by themselves, but they didn't bother them.

Dudu and Xiaolie didn't know which eye was right, a dog and a mink chased and frolicked each other, and they were having a lot of fun.

After worshipping the gods, it didn't take long for Gorou and Xiao Jiu to come back, but they just said a few words, and then didn't mention the sacrifice again. (To be continued.) )
