Chapter 129: Ancestor Worship
"Pity, come here. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Mom stood in front of the door of the middle hall and waved at Li Xi with a smile.
It's time to worship your ancestors.
There were already elders standing in the middle hall, Li Xiyue glanced at it with a smile, and found that there were no peers of his own, and the cousins were either already looking for jobs outside, or they were still studying.
Dad got married late, so Li Xi is basically the youngest of his peers.
As soon as he entered the door, everyone came to pull Li Xi to speak, Li Xi smiled and shouted, and then stood obediently beside his mother.
In the middle is the grandmother taking the lead in the incense, on both sides are the grandmother and the aunt, and next to the father and the second grandfather.
Behind him were several direct or collateral relatives standing in front, including Li Xi, there were fifteen people.
Grandma didn't let the uncle come, which can be regarded as a way for the previous aunt, and in front of the whole village, she expressed her attitude.
Now the ritual of worshipping ancestors is relatively simple, and the cumbersome ritual procedures have been simplified, just a family can make incense together, but it is complicated in the sacrifice.
This time, Li Xi's sacrifice can be said to be the most 'rich' in the village so far.
In front of the various tablets of the Li family, the pig's head on the top of a high bowl in the middle is almost half the size of the table, and some vegetarian dishes such as mutton, fish, chicken, bacon and tofu are placed next to it.
There were also some pastries on the side.
In front of the offering are three cups and chopsticks!
I filled the wine first, and then after my grandmother finished the first pillar of incense, it was replaced by tea.
It was the seventh grandfather who changed the tea, and when he changed it, he read the words, Li Xi thought, the seventh grandfather should be reading the greetings.
Three times, rites.
The seventh uncle fired a salute.
The table is open.
Doctor Changshou had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and as soon as the salute was finished, he immediately took the lead in bringing the cauldron out of the kitchen.
"Let's start with an appetizer, shredded beef with celery."
"Oh yo~ Okay, come on, come on, let's make a plate at our table first."
"Come on!"
Not to mention, the longevity doctor looks like a cook in an apron, the thinnest cook.
"Then let's all go out to dinner!" Dad shouted loudly, asked his wife and aunt to take a seat, and helped his grandmother over.
Li Xi was about to go to Duan Chengyu's side, when the woman who was walking in front suddenly turned around and called her.
"It's a pity, come to my wife."
The wife is eighty years old, her hair is gray and wrinkled, and when she laughs, her gums are all flesh, but fortunately, she is in good spirits.
Li Xi responded coquettishly, walked over with a smile, and called out to the wife, who laughed happily.
Smiling and smiling, he stretched out his hand and stuffed a big red envelope into Li Xi's pocket, and Li Xi hurriedly looked back at his mother.
The grandmother straightened her face and pretended to be serious and said, "It's a pity, this is the pocket money that grandma gave you, didn't you sign up today?" You're going to school, right? In the future, you will take the money yourself and buy whatever you want to eat. ā
Xi Xi grinned, "Then I'll listen to the wife." ā
"Let's take pity on our good deeds, let's go and accompany my wife to dinner." The wife led Li Xi away.
The uncle and grandmother on the side also took Li Xi's other hand and stuffed a red envelope to Li Xi, Li Xi was simply flattered, she used to be at home because of her father's relationship, and was not treated by relatives.
"Uncle, it's a pity that it's still young, it doesn't cost much, you and your wife have come all the way, it's a pity that you haven't prepared any good things for you, how can you collect your money, you can keep this money!"
Li Xi said politely, but her uncle and grandmother didn't like to listen to it, and only said: "You accepted your wife's money, didn't you dislike your uncle and grandmother and refused to accept it?" ā
"How can it be, it's too late to be happy, it's just... I just feel ashamed of it. Li Xi pouted, as if he was very embarrassed.
Uncle and grandma smiled, "Good boy, you will accept what your uncle and grandmother give you, and you will not be happy if you don't accept your uncle and grandma, uncle and grandma know that you are filial, and your uncle and grandmother have listened to what your grandmother said, you are a good boy, and our Li family will rely on you in the future, such a good child, it is not too much for uncle and grandma to give." ā
"Thank you, Grandma." Li Xi smiled and bent his eyes, and shouted coquettishly.
"It's good to sit in the middle?" Uncle and grandmother asked Li Xi with a smile, and sandwiched a piece of pig's trotter for Li Xi, "It's a pity to eat more meat, it's round and festive, and my uncle and grandma like it." ā
Li Xi smiled, she liked it too.
Li Xi sat down at this table, and everyone began to eat.
This table, Li Xi is the smallest, everyone laughs and gives Li Xi vegetables, and it will be full after a while, but Li Xi is not like other children, picking and eating.
She eats what you clip, yes, there is always a piece of empty in the bowl, so that you have a place to put it, it is really happy for the person who eats, and the person who is clamped is even happier.
Dad was at another table and the people were on the drinking order.
I don't know if it's a shouting red ear, or a drunk red ear.
Li Xi laughed hard, and her mother was busy saying that she should eat slowly, and beckoned everyone not to clip Li Xi, let her come by herself.
Li Xi knew that her mother was afraid that her elders would not eat well, so she said so, so she also nodded.
Knowing that Li Xi will go to school tomorrow, everyone told Li Xi to listen carefully in class and study hard.
The table was very lively.
And Duan Chengyu's table was a little quiet.
Li Xiaokui looked at Duan Chengyu, who was eating very seriously next to him, and then looked at the pig's trotters next to him, and couldn't help but say cautiously, "Chengyu, help me clip the pig's trotters, I can't clip them." ā
Duan Chengyu took a bite of rice, looked at the pig's trotters in the center of the table, and lowered his head again, "Brother, I can't clip that pig's trotters, you can clip one for me and Xiaokui." ā
Duan Chengbin was nibbling on braised chicken feet, and when he heard Duan Chengyu's words, he hurriedly put it down and sandwiched one of Duan Chengyu and Li Xiaokui's bowls.
After clamping, I immediately picked up the chicken feet that I didn't finish nibbling on.
Li Xiaokui looked at Duan Chengbin, who was gnawing on oil everywhere, and then looked at the pig's trotters in the bowl, and suddenly lost his appetite, and instead scooped a spoonful of white fungus lotus seed soup and drank it.
ā¦ā¦
Li Xijia invited the troupe to sing tonight, but there was no way, grandma, mother-in-law and aunt couldn't love this love.
A stage was set up in the middle of the house, and those who didn't come to eat and wanted to watch the play also came, and my mother grabbed a handful of melon seeds and knocked them on, which was also lively.
The gongs and drums here are singing lively, and the dad over there is red-faced and red-eared, not good.
Li Xi was taking a bath in the bathroom, and her ears were still noisy.
Dad installed a shower, and Li Xi stood in front of the mirror in slippers, looking at this small body.
In the end, I still laughed.
"Chengyu, do you want to take a shower later? Very comfortable. Li Xi shouted to Duan Chengyu who was guarding outside the door without any distractions.
Because Li Xi was afraid of the dark, her mother was busy greeting guests outside and couldn't leave, so she asked Duan Chengyu to accompany her here, because she was going to school tomorrow, Li Xi asked her to take a shower and go to bed early.
Li Xi didn't make a sound for a long time after speaking, and couldn't help shouting a few more words.
I heard Duan Chengyu say with some embarrassment outside, "My mother said that men and women are different, and they can't take a bath together." ā
Li Xi's hand that was applying soap suddenly slipped... (To be continued.) )
