Chapter 844: Ancestor Worship (2/4)
PS: Thank you Yayunchen and the Blood Lion Beast Emperor for your great reward, please recommend-
Li Feng really had something to do today, without too much delay, he didn't eat two bites of breakfast and hurriedly went out. This year, because many people went out to work in Daxue Village, they couldn't get it back, and this year's ancestor worship fell on Li Feng, the biggest of the small characters. Speaking of ancestor worship, it has just been picked up in the past few years, and ancestor worship has been there since the second master was a child, and it has not been broken for several generations. It's just that there was a long hiatus after the sixties, until someone proposed it a few years ago.
Every family in a village pooled some money, and this matter was raised, but the reason was that most of the simple ancestor worships were proposed by young people, and young people didn't care about this money. This matter fell to Li Feng's generation. And this year, Li Feng is the oldest in the family, and Li Feng must mention this matter. Li Can and a few people had already gone to collect the money, and the things were prepared by the sixth uncle years ago.
However, yellow paper, firecrackers and the like, Li Feng couldn't understand how there were still a few old Longtan cigarettes and a few large bags of candy. Li Feng thought that there were only eighty knives of yellow paper, dark coins, firecrackers, earth-shattering thunder, etc., but at a glance, he knew that there were really a lot of things, and the total number of zeros was very messy. Li Feng thought that only adults had passed, but he didn't think that the women and children would go over together, Li Feng touched Li Can.
"What's the matter, why do you have to go over a village?" Li Feng was quite puzzled, Li Can blinked. "It's been like this for the past few years, I don't know if you ask me, but that's how it started anyway."
Li Feng spoke and found. Several children from his own family came here, and Li Feng originally thought that women and children should not come together. I didn't let a few kids come. This will be brought over by Li Shan, and Li Feng will look at the women and children in a village. The men in the family are not in the house, but they are all women and children.
Walking on the snow-covered mountain road, a group of children were more or less holding labels in their hands, as well as gold and silver mountains, and women were holding bamboo poles in their hands, and rubber boots of one color, which made Li Feng look at Li Can. This kid is definitely making a lot of money this year. This batch of rubber boots is really a lot to buy, the hill where the ancestral grave is located is not far from Lijiagang, after all, in the past, Lijiagang people lived next to Likouzi.
Li Feng found in the past that this ancestor worship was really simple enough. A pack of a few cigarettes for a family. out of the money, Li Feng's family paid two money. This cigarette Li Feng and Li Shan have a pack of each, as for the candy, Li Feng thought it was used to worship the ancestors. Who knew that in the end, the sound of firecrackers was scattered to a group of women and children, and the babies screamed and squeezed in to grab them, which were all toffee and hard fruit candy. Usually a few children don't like to eat much, I didn't think it would be a lot of fun.
The largest firecracker that Li Feng was carrying lit was lit, and it was sprinkled down with the candy that covered his face, along with the firecrackers. Thunder shook the sky. Women's giggling, children's scramble, noise. The snow was littered with candy, and a little doll was busy looking for candy in the snow, scattered in the snow caves, or in the bushes.
If the child loves to eat more, it is not necessarily, but he likes to be so lively. Burning yellow paper, dark coins, and mountains of gold and silver. The women were laughing, the men were smoking cigarettes and talking, and Li Feng and a group of young people set off firecrackers. Finally, of course, the older generation brought a group of women and children to bow to their ancestors.
I needed to kowtow, but it was so snowy, and if I thought about the children's last bow, the ancestors would definitely not be difficult for the children. After all, in these days, everyone is no longer talking as in the past, and there are many fewer taboos in talking and doing things. Although there are still many customs in the mountains, most of them are very simple.
If the weather is good this year, the second master's generation will come over, and the etiquette rules may be much more. Most of the people who came over this time were from the elder generation, and everyone joined in the fun, Li Feng estimated that most of the children and women came for the candy. Li Feng didn't know much about this, and everyone couldn't say a word. I just know that eating this candy must be beneficial, as for why no one asks. …,
Li Feng looked at the children who were hiding in the snow cave from the firecrackers. Speaking of fun, most children are willing to come because of this. Li Feng couldn't help but sigh, who used this candy to attract children, it was really a bit talented.
"Baby, what's wrong, come out quickly." Li Feng's affairs are almost done, and there are still many people at home, so he will go back to entertain him.
"Daddy, baby, woo woo, baby can't walk." Li Feng was stunned for a moment, thinking about it, it was normal for such a deep snow to sink in. "Uncle, Mengmeng can't get out." Not only the baby, but the girl Mengmeng fell into it deeply, and Li Feng pulled the two children out of the snow one by one like pulling a turnip.
"Don't run around next time, what if there's no one." Li Feng patted the snowflakes on the bodies of the two little guys, and Sakizaki and Bell helped, but Bell and Fursaki didn't mess around. "Bell, Sakisaki, in the future, you two will look at some babies and cute, if they don't obey and tell Dad, Dad will spank their little butts." Li Feng used a little strength when he patted the little girl's buttocks, and the two little girls deflated their mouths.
"Go, follow Grandpa home." Li Feng still has some things, a few children let them go back with their father first. Li Feng and Li Can, Li Changlin, Li Xu, Li Xiang, two children, and several children. Originally, there was a case against the ancestors, but unfortunately it is no longer there now, and it was removed in the sixties.
Nowadays, as long as it is much simpler in the ancestral hall, because there are few ancestors with the names on it, and the genealogy says that everyone can't be sure of themselves, so that one vein, in the end, only the painting of the first ancestor is welcomed. Said to be a case, but a general thing in the hall, there is a larger pattern in the middle, these are the ancestral case, the next ancestor name and a couplet, the color is a little yellow, some years. It is estimated that it has been more than ten years, and the sacrifices prepared by Li Feng and others have been placed, and a few young people have kowtowed to burn yellow paper and dark coins, and they don't pay much attention to their words.
After all, young people are young and well-informed, and at that time they were not as particular as the ancients, but in fact, they couldn't pay attention to it. A few young people really don't understand these rules. Li Feng just burned it casually, and he couldn't understand things at all, and these were still prepared by the sixth uncle. Li Feng just did it, the ancestors blessed, and the big guy said the last word.
"Okay, everyone get up, go back to the house in advance, Xiaocan, you can stay for a while." How to calculate the money this time, there can be no surplus of this money, there is no money from the Yin people, this money can not be spent indiscriminately.
"You calculate whether the money is enough, and if it's not enough, I'll make up for it." Li Feng, as the leader and initiator, said that it was not good at all. In the end, the money was spent, and it had to be filled. Li Can summed it up and nodded. "You don't need this, you see there are more than two hundred left, you see what to do."
"What to do? You can move a few more boxes of earth-shaking thunder and put them next to the ancestral hall. Li Changlin didn't walk, and listened to what he said casually, Li Feng nodded, this thing is really not impossible.
"Okay, Changlin, let's take a trip, let's move here." A few people knew that the money was spent, and Li Feng also posted dozens of yuan. Who pays for this matter, who is good, this said Li Feng was not clear, and after a while, firecrackers and earth-shattering thunder attracted many children to watch. Li Feng was busy for an hour or two and finally made the ancestor worship seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and there were no old people to participate, so there was nothing to say. Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief, this matter was finally done, although it was not complete, but there was no leakage in the end.
"Xiaobao, I'm back." Lin Ying's parents and Liu Lan's parents didn't make it, the snowflakes outside are not small, and it is too dangerous to drive, Li Feng's family persuaded them, and finally Lin Ying and Liu Lan persuaded them, the two families have nothing to do in the past two days, and finally look at the snow outside is indeed not small. The highway has been jammed with traffic, and Li Feng is still a little glad that he is back. Otherwise, you will be stuck in traffic on the road for a few days, and you won't have to worry about eating and drinking, but the problem of Lazar, as well as keeping warm, not to mention these problems, how anxious it is to not go home for the New Year. …,
"Uncle, sit down, why doesn't Lin Ying play cards with her uncle and aunt, there are mahjong and poker at home." There is not much entertainment in the mountain village every year for the Spring Festival, and there are originally lions and dragons to send blessings to each family, but this year's heavy snowfall, no one in the mountains really comes in.
"Hehe, this is not a chess game with your Uncle Liu, Xiao Li, sit down." Lin Guozhou doesn't like to play mahjong very much, Liu Lan's father is too, the two like to play chess, Lin's mother likes the piano very much, and this will be teaching the baby, Meng Meng, Bell, and Qi Qi to play the piano.
Li Feng shook his head and played by himself, it's not that the people in the village have nothing to do to play mahjong, Li Feng sat down and poured some tea for Dad Lin and Dad Liu.
"Xiaobao, I heard Xiaoying say, you are going to worship your ancestors." Lin Guozhou and Liu Huan were quite interested in this, and Li Feng smiled.
"Yes, now the ancestor worship is not the same as before, it has been making trouble all day, and now it is simple for a while, many rules are gone, it is much simpler, and it is not an hour or two of busy work." Li Feng couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, there have been decades of things broken in the middle, which is mostly harmful to cultural inheritance, and people in the middle have not understood or seem to understand these rules for a lifetime. Li Feng and their third generation are not to mention, although most of them are the third generation arguing to worship their ancestors. But in the end, I didn't understand any of the rules, at most I burned paper, put bubbles, lively, and finally laughed, and everyone came back.
"Alas, there are not many people who worship our ancestors there now, at least you are all still here." Liu Huan belongs to the second generation of urban people, his parents were still from the countryside, and he saw his ancestors when he was a child, and now he goes back for the New Year and no one does this again. For many years, leveling the grave and moving the grave, these policies have been done, and many people still don't know whether they are connected to the ancestral grave. Don't talk about worshipping ancestors, it's over in the end.
"The society has progressed, the pace of life is fast, everyone has no patience, Xiaobao, it's good that you can have this activity here." Lin Guozhou couldn't help but sigh, after all, young people nowadays don't have the same awe of these things as the older generation. I can't forget that the annual sacrifice is already quite good. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
