Chapter 52 Ancestor Worship

My uncle's family also moved away from the old house, and a new two-story building was built next to the former elementary school, and I heard that it was also built for four or five hundred thousand yuan, which is also a great big family.

My father grew up in his hometown since he was a child, and he had too many emotions here, but unfortunately it also gave him too much hurt.

Since the incident of Ma Jianguo, except for the occasional return of the ancestor worship, he has not set foot here at all.

The relatives at home also expressed their understanding to him, and they had persuaded him, but it was still useless.

Time can heal this scar, but the time it takes is too long, too long, even Zhao's father is desperate, as soon as he steps here, the pain in his heart will slowly deepen, and he is afraid that he will not be able to bear it.

"Well, it's back." After getting out of the car, Zhao's father was in a low mood, and he remembered that incident again.

"Dad, after so many years, it's time for your heart knot to be untied."

Seeing his father's appearance, Zhao Ran was still a little distressed, he didn't come back for so many years for his father, he couldn't come back when he was young before, and when he got older, he also knew his father's past, and he didn't want to reveal his father's scars at that time.

Father Zhao on the side could only be silent.

After the two stalemate, the mother and sister in the car didn't say anything, just looked at the two of them.

"Huh? Uncle, why don't you go in when you're here? The rest of the family is waiting for you inside. At this moment, a sentence came from the side, and Zhao Ran turned around to see that it was his uncle's son Zhao Pan who came out.

Zhao Pan is the only son of his uncle, probably because he often does farm work, his face looks very dark, but he seems to be in good spirits, and he knows at a glance that this young man has enough strength and is a capable material.

Zhao Ran saw it and shouted brother, because Zhao Pan was ten years older than Zhao Ran.

"You're welcome, uncle, come in, what do you think of staying outside all the time? Come in and sit. After Zhao Pan finished speaking, he snatched the gifts held by several people and pulled Zhao's father inside.

After a long time, he finally entered it, Zhao Ran looked at these people and was still quite unfamiliar, although they were a little familiar, but many people's names and generations had been forgotten.

"Yo, isn't this Ah Chen? Are you willing to come back, boy? Stinky boy can be fined a few more glasses later. ”

It was an old man who ridiculed Zhao Ran's father, and it was basically impossible to guess his age by looking at his appearance, but he was over seventy years old, right?

"Uncle is right, I should be punished for a few more drinks, it's all my own problem. Xiao Ran, Xiao Xin, come here, this is your uncle and grandfather, this is the eldest person in our Zhao family. ”

"I'm already a person who has most of my body in the ground, this is your sons and daughters Zhao Ran and Zhao Xin, right? You look really handsome, not bad, you can be regarded as spreading branches for our old Zhao family. ”

Zhao Ran and Zhao Xin walked around the house in turn, listening to their father introduce these relatives to him, and then greeted them one by one.

"Uncle, we're going up the mountain, the time is about the same, and when we're done, we'll have to marry Zi, and it's a little late if we don't go now." Zhao Pan had already prepared all the tools, and by the way, he reminded Zhao's father that since he was back, he had to go up the mountain, this was the rule.

As for the so-called marrying purple, it is a custom on Zhao Ran's side, no matter what the reason is, as long as the body is buried in the ancestral grave, it must be done like this!

When a person dies, he is put in a coffin and buried in the ground for about 10 to 20 years, and then on the day everyone returns to their hometown to worship their ancestors, they pick a person's grave and dig up their body.

At this time, the person's ** has already rotted, and all that is left is a pile of white bones.

Spread a red cloth on the ground, and then pick up the person closest to the owner of the corpse and put it on the red cloth one by one, in this process, not a single bone is missing.

After picking up all the bones, I found a golden jar, put the bones one by one from the feet, and then carried them to a special altar and placed them, so that I could receive offerings from future generations here.

This time, Zhao Ran also wants to marry Zi when he comes back, and as for who he married, Zhao Ran doesn't know.

A group of people, from the way up the mountain, began to fly with firewood knives and hooks, and they wanted to clear the road.

It's really true that there are many people with great strength, it only took less than an hour to clean up the place where the ancestral grave is, and now as long as this area is cleaned, today's things are basically more than half completed!

More than half of the people continued to clean up, and those who were older began to worship, burning incense and candles, burning paper money, and the busy one was in full swing.

Zhao Ran was not idle, picked up a hook and waved it around, his body is really powerful after the transformation of the divine pupil, at least not inferior to everyone present.

Zhao Pan was also surprised by Zhao Ran, this kid's strength is quite good? It's a pretty neat job.

Soon the weeds around the grave were also cleared, and everyone took turns to put incense on the ground, light cannons, and then began to prepare for the grave!

Now only Zhao Pan is digging the soil, Zhao Ran saw that he was so hard, so he simply picked up a shovel to help, because he couldn't hurt the coffin, so he could only dig out the soil slowly little by little.

Fortunately, the sealing layer is not thick, and the coffin was dug in only half an hour, and the next thing is not what Zhao Ran can do.

I saw Zhao Pan holding a crowbar, carefully punching it inside, and then slamming it hard!

The coffin creaked, and it was opened suddenly, and a foul and disgusting smell permeated the surroundings, and those who had experience had already covered their noses and left for the time being, the smell was too disgusting, and it had to be dispersed.

Even after twenty years of decay, the gas in it cannot be volatilized in the coffin, and after about ten minutes, the smell has faded a lot, and people can bear it.

Now the person who went down to pick it up was Zhao Ran's uncle and grandfather, I saw him spread a red cloth on the side, and then took out the bones piece by piece from the clothes that had not yet decayed, and placed them neatly one by one, trying to show what he looked like before his death.

After the bones were arranged, he took some blood and soil from under the coffin, spread them in the golden altar, and put the bones in them piece by piece, starting from the feet, and after placing them, put a talisman on the lid, and carried the golden altar to the place of worship and put it away, and the people put it on again.

The procedure is going on step by step, most of the people here have experienced this, except for Zhao Ran's two brothers and sisters, it seems that everyone is also accustomed to such things, and the expressions are very bland.

After putting on incense, burning paper money, and putting another cannon battle, today's itinerary is basically over.

The weather is still very hot now, and everyone is basically wet with a lot of clothes, and when they see that the matter here is over, they don't want to continue to wait here, and they all go down the mountain one by one, wanting to hurry to the house to enjoy the coolness.

Auntie has already prepared tea there, watermelon and lychee waiting, there are still lychees at this time, very sweet and juicy, but you can't eat more, eating too much will get hot.

It just so happens that we have to wait about an hour before eating, and it is better to have such food than nothing, and it is quite interesting for a group of people to sit down and talk.

Especially some three aunts and six mothers-in-law, when they learned that Zhao Ran was now successful in his career, they wanted to introduce his daughter-in-law to him one by one, which made him shake his head again and again.

What kind of daughter-in-law are you looking for? It's not that Zhao Ran looks down on rural girls, it's really that he is not interested in the marriage introduced, and his daughter-in-law is still looking for her own talent, which always makes him feel a kind of compulsion.

These people looked at Zhao Ran's appearance and realized that this matchmaker would definitely not be able to do it, and this golden beetle son-in-law would not be able to hang it! One by one, they could only silence and talk to other areas.

"I found a snuff bottle in the house a few days ago, I don't know if it's an antique, I heard that these things are expensive now, if my thing is real, then Xiao Pan's money for marrying his daughter-in-law doesn't have to worry."

This sentence was said by Zhao Ran is uncle Zhao Ming, but it is estimated that he didn't have much hope, so he just laughed and talked about it.

"Oh? Take it out and take a look, my son is playing antiques, let Xiao Ran show you. Father Zhao on the side was also interested when he heard it.

Zhao Ming was really a little curious when he heard it, "Really? Xiao Ran, will you watch? ”

"Well, it's okay, I'm really learning antiques." When Zhao Ran heard his father's words, he also knew his plans, and it was always good for his son to help, which also gave him a little face.

Hearing that Zhao Ran had already admitted it, Zhao Ming went directly into the house without ink and took out the snuffbox and stuffed it into Zhao Ran's hand, he was not afraid of damage, and he didn't have the idea that it was genuine anyway.

Holding the snuffbox in his hand, Zhao Ran looked at it carefully.

This is a jade snuff bottle, look at its style should be a snuff bottle of the Qing Dynasty, the feeling in the hand is very comfortable, the jade is warm, there are some carvings on it, it is a more exquisite one, but unfortunately there is a place on it cracked, and a piece of it is still missing, it is really a violent thing!

Open your own ability eye, sure enough, there are three apertures on it, and there is a red aura on it, but it's not rich and very light, probably because it broke the guide.

"Well, this is the Qing Dynasty Hetian jade carved snuff bottle, the jade quality is not bad, the carving is exquisite, it is a small boutique, but it is a pity that it is broken a corner, otherwise the price will be doubled. I estimated it at about 150,000 yuan. ”

The explanation given by Zhao Ran was also very concise, but the price that broke out was extremely surprising to the Zhao family, just this thing is worth 150,000?

"Xiao Ran, what you said is true? Just this gadget is worth 150,000? If it's not broken, how much is it worth? ”

Zhao Ming was really taken aback, he usually doesn't take care of this thing, he just throws it when he picks it up, and this broken corner is also once he accidentally threw it too hard, and it fell to the floor and shattered.

"If it's not broken, it's worth 500,000, this is really good."

Zhao Ming's head is a little dizzy now, he threw 300,000 yuan as soon as he threw it, what a tyrant himself!
