Deng listened to it and analyzed it, it should be the second brother Li Dao who didn't know what was going on, and provoked his father, who was smoking Li Dao's whip, and after listening to it for so long, he didn't hear the voice of Li Yu's eldest brother's family, so he didn't wake up Li Zhu, covered his ears with a pillow, squinted, and tried his best to make himself sleep.

Deng got up and asked, "Do you want to pee?" Pee in the urinal in the room, don't go out, noisy outside, don't move on to you plainly. Li Hai nodded, Li Tao and Li Bo were also sensible, followed behind their brother, lined up for nocturnal urination, then lay back on the bed, fell asleep, and rolled left and right when they couldn't sleep, without going out or making a sound. The mother tossed and fell asleep very late.

On the second day, Li Zhu got up very early, and after making breakfast, he looked at the hall of Old Man Li, and saw that Old Man Li, eldest brother, second brother, and the three family's rooms were closed, and shook his head. I went to grass full of energy. Deng and Li Hai are not very good spirits, after breakfast, Deng fed Binbin and then put his head, sat on the kang and fell asleep after a while, Li Hai and his brother held the book, snuggled on the kang, the chicken pecked the rice and nodded, seeing that the mother was asleep, they also took off their shoes and fell asleep on the kang.

The family doesn't point to the mother to work, Hamahama does soft gymnastics and yoga by herself, and her mother and brother sleep better, so that they don't show the world, and she is not noisy.

Today is the Double Ninth Festival on September 9th, also known as the "Double Nine Festival", according to the convention, the Li family is to worship their ancestors, which is called the "Autumn Festival". Li Zhu knew that he needed to worship his ancestors today, so he quickly beat the grass, and went home when he fed the chickens, sheep, and cows, and saw that there was still no movement in the hall, so he carried a small bucket to milk the goats.

The Li family tossed late last night, and Old Man Li had only gotten up at that time. As soon as he got up, he saw Li Zhu milking goats in his yard, so he said: "Zhu'er, don't be busy yet, greet the three brothers of Hai Taobo, and go to the hall to worship their ancestors." Li Zhuying said: "Hey." Then he carried half a bucket of goat's milk into the chamber, shook Li Hai, Li Tao, and Li Bo, and said, "Hai'er, Tao'er, Bo'er, get up quickly." "Because I want to worship my ancestors this morning, Li Zhu has let Li Hai and his brothers wash properly before beating the grass, because they slept back to the cage, their eyes were hazy, Li Zhu took a wet cloth, one person and one face, the brother immediately woke up, and got off the kang and put his shoes, took the eight treasures of the dark coin that Deng put on the kang last night, and followed Li Zhu to the hall to wait. These Eight Treasures were cut by Deng during his confinement in the past few days, and they were even more sincere.

When Li Zhuye went to the hall, he first fetched water to clean his face and hands by the well outside the hall, which was called water purification. Then Li Zhu wiped his face and hands with a clean cloth he brought, rubbed it with well water and handed it to Li Hai to wipe, Li Hai learned Li Zhu's movements and wiped it clean by himself, then wiped it for Li Bo, and then handed it to Li Tao. Li Tao also learned from Li Zhu and wiped it himself.

After doing all this, the grandfather went into the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw Li Dao standing behind the old man Li by the Wang family and the Wu family, Li Yu and Li Tian, Li Shu, and Li Qiunu stood opposite Li Dao, Li Yu's family only looked at the tablet in front of the hall and the sacrificial chickens and fish, and did not look at Li Dao, Li Qiyue and Li Qilan stood one step away from Li Dao.

Old Man Li and Li Yu nodded when they saw the refreshing and refreshing Li Zhuye, and Old Man Li saw that Brother Li Hai was carrying a basket together, which contained dark coins and eight treasure coins, smiled, and affirmed the Deng family in his heart, thinking that this daughter-in-law was good.

Old Man Li glared at Li Dao, and Li Dao asked the Wang family and the Wu family to go out, and he stood tremblingly next to Li Yu half a step behind, and Li Zhu stood next to Li Dao one step behind. Li Dao only took half a step back because of his talent status. The sons of each family stood behind the fathers of each family, and the old man Li saw that everyone was standing and positioned, and said while lighting the candles and incense: "Today, when the zodiac is auspicious, my Li family Li Hongqi will worship his ancestors, and respectfully invite the ancestors and ancestors to come together to enjoy the food, and bless the children and grandchildren to have a good year in the coming year, and the family house is healthy." Holding the double candle above his head, he bowed three times in front of the ancestral tablet and inserted it on both sides of the incense burner. The rest of the children and grandchildren each took three sticks of incense, held them high above their heads, bowed three times, and inserted the incense into the incense burner one after another. Then Old Man Li led the son and grandson of the Li family to bow to the tablet three times. Old man Li first burned the paper money in the pot, each holding a handful of paper money, and Li Zhu, Li Hai, Li Tao, and Li Bo burned their own homes. After Li Zhu's room was burned down, Mr. Li took his family, landed on the ground with five bodies, and kowtowed three times with his back to the sky. After Li Yu got up, he saw that Li Dao was still lying on his stomach, frowned, and touched Li Dao, Li Dao immediately took Li Yu's hand and stared at Li Yu, which meant to let Li Yu pull him up, Li Yu had a dark face, and pulled Li Dao up unwillingly. Li Zhu didn't get up until Li Dao got up.

Li Tian and the other juniors also got up in turn.

Old Man Li picked up a thin piece of bamboo from the table where the tablet was placed, slapped it on the ground, pointed at Li Dao with the bamboo piece, and yelled at him: "Kneel!" Li Dao immediately knelt down.

Old Man Li shouted: "Rebel, admit your mistake in front of the ancestral tablet today, and swear not to do it again in the future." Give me a good kowtow three times. Li Dao hurriedly "touched", "touched", and "touched" on the ground three times, raised his head and said: "The ancestors of the Li family are on top, and the rebel Li Dao knows that he is wrong." Old Man Li saw that Li Dao's forehead was bloodshot, so he nodded happily. Then let him get up and said: "If you know that you can change your mistakes, you are still a good son of our Li family, okay, no matter what, we are also a family, Li Yu, go and call your daughter-in-law over, let's discuss something." ”

Li Yu immediately called Li Shi over. Mama Li, Wang, and Wu also came. Old man Li saw that everyone was gathered, so he said: "Last night, I learned that Li Dao borrowed five taels of silver outside in order to be able to participate in this exam, and now their family only has one or two silver, and there are four taels left. Li Yudao: "Borrow money to catch the exam?" Why didn't you say it before you split up, now that you're separated, let's make it up, what's the matter? Mama Li said: "It's not Dao'er who is considerate, originally he wanted to carry it by himself, but the person who borrowed his money happened to have something at home, so he wanted Li Dao to repay the money first, so it's not impossible, alas, let's make it up." Li Shi frowned, Li Tian couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "Master, it's obvious that the second uncle took the money for the exam and borrowed the money back." When our family was separated, there was nothing, of course, we had to buy things, how could there be silver taels now. ”
