Chapter 09: Worship (1)
The ancestor of the fox family is the father of the grandfather of the fox family, and the grandfather of the seven brothers and sisters of the fox Yingtian, and the father of the current old lady of the fox family. Because the old lady fox used to be the eldest in the family, and there was a younger brother, who was the grandfather of the fox friend. After the two brothers separated, the tablet of the ancestor of the fox family was placed on the branch of the old lady fox. And the fox Otomo branch will be worshiped every year on the day of the festival.
In the countryside, there is no pomp and circumstance, and there are no rules, just kowtow in the past.
Fox Xiaomei felt very boring, it was better to burn paper money in her own home, in the countryside of modern society, when she didn't go to the cemetery to worship, she burned paper money in her yard, as long as she was pious, where was not the same.
And the people of the fox family didn't take their family seriously at all, but just said hello for the sake of the old lady still alive.
She pouted dissatisfiedly: "According to what I said, there is nothing to go, and if I go, I just stand there." ”
This was immediately echoed by the fox fence: "The second sister is right, I go to my uncle's house every year, and according to me, I should bring the tablet of the ancestor to our house, so that they can come to our house every year in the future!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense!" Without even thinking about it, Fox Fence stopped the two from talking nonsense.
I thought it was for the elderly, but it was an ancestral hall!
It's been your family this year, and my family is next year, so these two people can figure it out!
Once Wei Sanniang and his wife didn't think so, but since their ancestors, the two ancestral ancestral halls have been together, and the tablet of Hu Xiaomei's grandfather is also in the ancestral hall of the fox family, and the fox family will never allow them to move the ancestral hall over. If you just take back the tablet of Grandpa Fox Xiaomei, isn't that a division?
Although they are countrymen, the family has declined, and there is no sense of family honor, but it was a big family after all, and it would be too unfilial to divide the clan from them! Besides, the old lady fox is still there, and she is not allowed.
Moreover, their family does not have any extra room to enshrine the tablet, and now Fox Xiaomei and Fox Lixiang still live in a room!
Therefore, Wei Sanniang and the two only thought about it once, and they never thought about it again.
In fact, Fox Xiaomei also knew that it was impossible, but she just complained, and the fox fence had a tendon in her brain, shouting from the hall to the kitchen, and finally was scolded by Wei Sanniang before going out, so she closed her mouth.
Fox Xiaomei looked at him and pursed her lips and smiled.
Fox Fence Xiang pulled his ears and said to him: "You are a stubborn donkey, saying that the wind is rain, stupid!" Then he patted his neat clothes, raised his head and chest, and walked out of the yard slowly.
The fox fence rubbed the ears that were reddened, stared at the back of the fox fence, and said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't say that the wind is the rain." Then he pestered the fox to explain clearly: "What is a donkey and a stupid person?" No one swears or scolds the other. I sue you, both of us were born to my father, you make it clear to me! ”
If it weren't for Wei Sanniang's dark face, Hu Xiaomei would almost burst out laughing!
A living treasure!
**
The fox family and the fox Xiaomei's house are separated by a long alley, two families, turn the corner, walk along the high courtyard wall to the end, and see a large red lacquer wooden door, the paint is still new, it was painted not long ago.
The big mahogany door was open, Fox Dayou walked in front, he knocked on the door first, and then walked in, Wei Sanniang followed, Fox Fence Xiang, Fox Xiaomei, Fox Fence followed closely behind Wei Sanniang.
The yard of the fox house is very large, it is as big as the yard of the fox Xiaomei's house, cross the courtyard gate, walk into the yard and you can see a long row of green tile houses, there are at least five or six rooms, the wall is clean, there are all kinds of household picks neatly placed under the eaves, and two half-new hoes are hung upside down on the eaves beam. In addition to the kitchen, side house, chicken shed, etc., there are almost a dozen or so places, and all the houses enclose the courtyard in the center, forming a rectangle.
It looks particularly wide and comfortable!
The fox family has a large population, and the original brothers all live together, and now this courtyard belongs to the fox Yingtian family, and the fox master and the fox old lady live. The second, third, fourth, and fifth foxes all went out, and the house was built next to this yard, although the yards of the other brothers were not as big as the yards of the fox boss, but they were all good, so this village road was all the fox family!
After four families went out, the courtyard seemed much more empty and larger. Hu Yingtian's wife is an honest and hard-working person, who cleaned up all the dead corners and horns in the yard, and planted two golden cinnamon trees in the middle of the yard, so the whole yard is particularly clean and tidy.
Especially in autumn every year, the fragrance of golden cinnamon is strong, and the whole yard is a fragrance of flowers, and it seems that you can still feel the aftertaste of osmanthus at this time!
Fox Xiaomei decided to plant an osmanthus tree in her yard in the future!
Perhaps hearing the voice, Chen walked out of the house, and when she saw Wei Sanniang's family, she immediately greeted with a smile: "Oh, it's Dayou and Sanniang, hurry, all come into the house and sit!" ”
"Sister-in-law is busy?" Wei Sanniang also greeted Chen with a smile, and the three of them immediately shouted: "Big aunt." ”
And the fox Dayou stood in the courtyard and said to Chen: "Sister-in-law, we are standing in the courtyard, aren't the old lady and uncle there?" What about the big brother? At the same time, he looked around, and Hu Yingtian and the others didn't seem to be there.
"All gone to the graveyard!" Chen said with a smile, turned around and went into the house, put a bench in the yard, and looked at the three of Hu Xiaomei with a smile: "You three small ones also sit, you're welcome." ”
Then he explained to Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang: "...... This year, everything is going well in the family, which shows that the grave of our ancestors is well buried, and I heard that the ancestral tomb is a prosperous person with mountains, and there is a prosperous source of wealth if there is water......"
The grave of the ancestor of the fox family is buried on a small hill, leaning against the mountain, but it is not smooth. Hu Yingtian's son Hu Libai is a showman, and he entered the county government office as a copywriter this year, presumably to attract water and wealth!
That's a long way to say!
Wei Sanniang stood in the courtyard and chatted with Chen.
Fox Lixiang followed and stood behind Wei Sanniang, clasping her hands, smiling, standing upright, like a little lady; Fox Xiaomei followed her example, clasped her hands together, and gently pursed her mouth, but her eyes swept around the yard. Occasionally, he looked at Chen's eyes to indicate that he was listening, while the two thumbs circled in the palm of his hand.
The fox fence was a can't stay, seeing that Hu Yingtian and the others didn't come back after standing for a while, he muttered, hung his head, and looked unhappy, Chen saw it and asked him: "What's wrong with the junior?" A few of the little ones are out, and you're really bored as a boy, why don't you go out and play for a while? ”
The fox fence glanced at Wei Sanniang, who was silent, and now he will definitely be trained when he goes out to play and comes home, he shook his head.
Chen smiled, and then said very kindly: "Why don't you sit down for a while, why are you so polite when you come to your aunt's house!" He also went into the house and took melon seeds out for a few people to eat.
Fox Fence Xiang and Fox Xiaomei didn't move, Fox Fence grabbed a handful in his hand unceremoniously, peeled two and felt very tired to stand, and saw that his wife didn't care about himself, so he didn't have any image to support his waist, rubbed his legs again, sat on the bench with a buttocks, raised Erlang's legs and began to peel melon seeds.
How can you be so rude in front of your elders?
Wei Sanniang's eyes immediately swept away.
The fox fence raised her eyebrows, raised her long legs, and kicked on the fox fence leg when Chen didn't pay attention, and the fox fence "ouch", a butt slipped off the stool, and fell to the sky.
He sat on the ground and touched his buttocks, "Ouch, ouch" twice, and immediately bounced up like a monkey, turned around and glared at the fox and was about to scold, but when he saw her face, he remembered where he was.
The head of the dying girl drooped, and she stood next to the fox Xiaomei and didn't make a sound!
Chen looked at it and laughed: "Little San, it's okay, just sit down if you want, what else do you pay attention to at your aunt's house!" ”
How dare the fox fence mess around again, only smile at Chen and never move again.
At this time, the footsteps of Suo Suo were heard outside the door, and a mighty group of people returned!
