Chapter 19 Ancestor worship during the Spring Festival

The next day happened to be Tuyao Day (Saturday), the whole family was later than the working day, Choi Gengyou also officially told his family that he was ready to resign, in addition to his grandmother who expressed regret, others including grandfather Choi Jong Kook expressed their support, with Park so-hye's meteoric rise in the literary world, it really needs someone to help, and as a husband, it is indeed more appropriate and reassuring to stand up at this time.

When Cui Gengjing heard the second brother and sister-in-law say that they were going to invest in the acquisition of the publishing house, they needed her to collect relevant information, and promised to make her the vice president after the acquisition was completed, she immediately patted her chest and said that a qiē package was on her.

Choi Kyung-woo's decision to resign quickly won the approval of SK Telecom's upper echelons, after all, it is a large company, and there are many staff members and fierce competition, and there are not a few people who are jealous of Choi Geng-woo's position, but because the work still needs to be handed over, he cannot leave the company immediately, and this process will last about a week. Park so-hye also began to disclose her decision to go into retreat to write a new novel through the news media, and she will refuse to be interviewed by the media during this period.

……

Tomorrow is the Spring Festival in the traditional sense, Choi Jin-ryong has not understood the reason why the South Koreans call the Spring Festival "Folk Day" at the beginning of his rebirth, and later learned that this is due to the historical legacy of Japan after the implementation of colonial rule on the Korean Peninsula, and from this year South Korea officially resumed the Spring Festival, and the state also stipulated the implementation of a three-day holiday policy.

South Korea's Spring Festival is very different from the Chinese New Year, South Korea is very "quiet", shops will be closed, the streets are deserted, but China is very lively, the streets are full of people, and firecrackers and fireworks are set off, which is even more "noisy".

Since the early morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Park Xiuhui and her aunt began to prepare the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the main dish is barbecue, in addition to a variety of wild vegetables, kimchi and "five-grain rice", that is, cloud beans, soybeans, adzuki beans, black beans and rice mixed rice, dim sum such as cake, Korean steamed buns, etc., the variety is also varied, of course, compared with the Chinese Chinese New Year's Eve meal.

Cui Zhenlong has also been in South Korea for more than ten years, and he is already accustomed to these foods, looking at the pork belly on the baking tray making a "squeak" sound of oil, to be honest, Cui Zhenlong prefers tenderloin to pork belly, but he still can't understand why Koreans obviously like light food, but they have a soft spot for this fatty pork belly.

Cui Zhenlong, who was emptying, saw the lettuce wrapped meat handed to his mouth by Park Xiuhui, so he unceremoniously took a bite of it, puffing out his small mouth and chewing hard. At this time, the grandfather spoke: "Tomorrow morning, the two daughters-in-law will work hard, and the sacrificial supplies at home must be prepared in advance, and then everyone will go to the Quanzhou Zongjia to worship their ancestors." This time I went to the ancestral land of the clan to be in place in terms of etiquette, and the rudeness would be a shame for the entire family. ”

Everyone in the family stopped their chopsticks and listened carefully to Choi Jong-kook's words, even the youngest Choi Jin-young obediently sat in his mother's arms and remained silent. After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone also returned to their rooms to rest as soon as possible. Hehe~~ The old people are not ready to do this, not to mention the younger generation, everyone should wash and sleep!

…….

In the early morning of the first day of the new year, before dawn, the eldest aunt and Park so-hui began to get busy wearing traditional hanbok, no wonder Koreans say that the day of ancestor worship is the good Friday of the daughter-in-law! The others, especially the older male members of the family, rested as if they were old men, waiting for the ancestor worship to begin.

There are still a lot of rules for ancestor worship activities, and even the sacrificial food placed has strict regulations, what "fish east meat west", "head east tail west" and the like, and then the descendants pour wine on the tablet and salute, the whole process is very fast, the sacrifice is over and begins to eat rice cake soup, and then Cui Zhenlong's least favorite activity, the younger generation to the elders New Year's greetings, of course, Koreans to the elders are not like Huaxia just talk about it, that is really to kneel and bow to the big ceremony.

Of course, Cui Zhenlong has a strong resistance to the bow ceremony, and in his previous life, he has always adhered to the concept of gold under the man's knees, even if he has never knelt for his biological parents, and now he is reborn, but he can't escape this stubble.

Okay, kneel and kneel, at least after kneeling and bowing, there is a lot of money, for the sake of the money, you can do without this festival, who called Cui Zhenlong He is a money worshipper? Worshipping money and worshipping money means kneeling and worshipping money. Let's forgive Cui Zhenlong, this guy is really completely hopeless!

After completing the process, the time had already passed 8 o'clock, and the Cui family hurriedly took the gifts that had been prepared and took three cars to the Zongjia in Quanzhou. The three brothers and sisters of the Cui family who served as the drivers, Cui Zhenlong sat in the back seat, quietly looking at the scenery outside the car, and ignored the younger brothers and sisters who were noisy next to him.

Jeonju is a famous cultural and artistic city in South Korea, with historic sites such as Fengnanmen, Gyeongji Hall, Zhaoqing Temple, etc., and the traditional handicrafts here include bamboo fans, Taiji fans, and rice paper here.

However, Choi Jin-ryong is not interested in all these things, he is more interested in a person here, "I happened to meet Seo Joo-hyun when I was young when I went to Seoul last time, can I meet Kim Tae-yeon, the young lottery captain when I come to Jeonju this time?" I remember that her family is opening an eye shop, well~~ I'll go shopping when I have time. "I don't want to think about this product, no matter how much I say that there are more than 500,000 people in the whole state, and there are countless optical stores, how difficult it is to find someone in this vast sea of people.

Regardless of Cui Zhenlong's cranky thoughts for the time being, the three cars of the Cui family finally came to the ancestral hall of the clan after more than 2 hours of driving. Then led by grandfather Cui Zhongguo, followed by his son and daughter-in-law who carried gifts, and finally the third generation of the Cui family who held hands with each other, more than ten people walked into the ancestral hall.

An old man who looked to be over 80 years old was sitting in the center of the ancestral hall, this was the only remaining elder of the clan, and according to his seniority, he was still Cui Zhongguo's cousin. At this time, a man wearing a coarse cloth hanbok and about the same age as Choi Jong Kook stepped forward and said politely: "Zhong Kook, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" ”

Cui Zhongguo also replied politely: "Inner, Brother Zhong Xing, it's all good, good luck for the New Year!" After speaking, he introduced his family to the other party, and when it was the turn of the second daughter-in-law Park Xiuhui, the man who was called Zhong Xingge by Choi Jong Kook also immediately cheered up, and praised in his mouth: "It's Wuli Xiuhui, a beautiful writer in the Republic of Korea, it's really amazing, you can write such a good novel, the juniors in my family are all your book lovers!" ”

Park Xiuhui didn't even dare to say it, and the movement here also attracted the attention of others, and she also pointed and whispered to Park Xiuhui, after all, throughout the second half of last year, Park Xiuhui was a popular figure in South Korea, and there were reports about her on TV and newspapers, and it was difficult not to be recognized.

After the Cui family came, it didn't take long for the ancestor worship activities of the entire clan to officially start, and there was no big change in the process, that is, there were too many elders who needed to kneel and worship, and there were nearly 50 people who needed Cui Zhenlong to kneel and worship! "Okay, it's still for the sake of money, I'll bear with it!" The thing began to soothe itself.

And those adults sat down and began to chat, they were divided into many circles, the elders were a circle, the peers were a circle, and the women were a circle, and everyone abided by the rules they abided by, among which Park Xiuhui's circle was the most popular, and even many young people of the twenties were mixed in it, after all, the Cui family had a big celebrity, which was a glorious thing worthy of special mention for the entire big family.

So where did our Cui Zhenlong go? After receiving the New Year's money, he sneaked out of the ancestral hall alone, looking for optical stores all over the street, he didn't want to think about it, it was the Spring Festival, how could there be a store in South Korea that opened to do business, everyone was busy worshipping their ancestors!

After wandering around, he found that the doors of the optical stores were closed, and Cui Zhenlong was completely disheartened, ready to take a look at the scenery along the way and then return to the ancestral hall of the clan.

Old-fashioned hanoks can be seen everywhere along the way, and Choi Jin-ryong will stop to watch it everywhere, which can only be seen in Korean dramas in his previous life, and he has never been to Jeonju in this life, and some of the old-fashioned buildings here still look unique. At this moment, he noticed that under the big banyan tree not far ahead, there was a little girl with glasses and a slightly chubby figure picking up fallen leaves on the ground.

Cui Zhenlong also swept away this, his eyes did not stop at the slightest on this girl, and walked towards the way back to the ancestral hall with eight steps. And not long after Cui Zhenlong left, a boy who looked to be in his teens stood in the distance and shouted to the girl under the tree: "Sister, it's time to go home, the sacrifice is about to begin, don't you want to press the New Year's money?" ”

The girl raised her head, lifted her glasses with her chubby little hands, and responded loudly: "Oppa, I hear it, come here." After saying that, he ran into the distance with the hem of the hanbok, and when he was close to the boy, he suddenly accelerated, crashed into his brother's arms, and let out a unique laughter, if you don't look at the face and don't look at the person and just listen to the laughter, people who are not familiar with it will think that it is the laughter of an aunt.

"Ah, Kim Taeyeon, are you crazy? Do you want to kill me? The boy feigned anger.

"Oppa, I'm sorry" The girl named Kim Taeyeon immediately put on a pitiful look and apologized to her brother. Looking at my sister's face, like a little red apple, I couldn't help but want to go up and take a bite, my big round and flexible eyes, sometimes flashing a hint of cunning. The boy let out a sigh, he couldn't do anything about this naughty sister.

"Alright, let's go, Abba and they're still waiting." After speaking, he took his sister's hand and walked back.

Of course, our Cui Zhenlong didn't know about this scene, he would never have thought of the girl he had always wanted to see after coming to Jeonju, and he inadvertently missed it, which may also be because the fate of the two sides has not arrived... When will we meet again in the future? No one can tell.
