"Yes, father, don't worry," said the mother, "I will get up early tomorrow and prepare the family tree, the offering table, and the tributes, so that my father and mother will not be uncomfortable." You can put the children to sleep with peace of mind!"

"Dad, mother,......" Xiao Shishi, who had been a little silent, suddenly opened his mouth, but he just shouted and stopped, as if he didn't know how to continue.

The mother smiled wisely, "Don't worry, we all know about your family." When I prepared the tribute, I also prepared a copy for you, and we also bought a lot of firecrackers, and tomorrow you can go back and set up a family tree and an offering table in your old house to welcome your ancestors. ”

"Mother!" Xiao Shi choked and shouted a word, and suddenly turned his head away.

Looking at such a small stone, Yun Hua showed a distressed look on her face, she pulled her mother's clothes, and whispered, "The grass shed in the stone has been uninhabited for some days, I think about going to pick up for him early tomorrow morning, he will go outside to set off firecrackers to welcome the ancestors, I will clean up the family tree, offering tables and incense candles, how can I not let the ancestors of the Shi family be homeless." ”

"Depend on you, rely on you," the mother smiled with emotion, "You are the one who is engaged to marry Shi, although you have not yet married, but the situation is special, you can help the Shi family if you have something, you have to pay tribute over there, and you will come over for dinner when the time comes." ”

The conversation between Yunhua and her mother finally made the tears that Xiao Shi had been holding back fall.

The father on the side also had a look of emotion, he patted Xiaoshi's shoulder, and just advised, "Okay, hurry up and go to rest, there are still a lot of things waiting for us tomorrow." ”

Listening to his father's words, Xiao Shi raised his head with teary eyes, and nodded solemnly, "Dad, mother, you treat me with great kindness, I, I will always remember it in my heart." ”

Yunhua looked at the little stone and turned his back.

The mother lifted the placket of her clothes, quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, turned around and went out, chattering in a trembling voice as she walked, "New Year's Day, busy with it, talk about what you are doing, sleep, sleep." Tomorrow I have to take Yun Fang to pay tribute, that girl is the first time this year to help me, I don't know if it's used for the top of the grid, I ,......"

The mother's tail note disappeared into the cold wind outside the hospital, and my father shook his head at Yunhua who wanted to chase him out, "You can sleep, your mother has me there." ”

As he spoke, Dad also turned around and went out, chasing his mother's figure out.

Leaving Yun Fang, Yun Hua, Xiao Shi, and Dashan looking at each other, Yun Fang pulled her sister's sleeve, deliberately yawned, and muttered, "Sleepy, sleepy, let's go to sleep too." ”

While speaking, Yun Fang pulled Yun Hua's sleeve and went out of the ear room, and went straight back to the bedroom of the two of them.

The surprise and surprise of the day, the hard work in the middle of the night, and finally a sensational drama, the mood of the Lan family experienced rounds of roller coaster ups and downs several times, and the lights in each house were turned off for a long time before they gradually went out, especially the lights in the father's and mother's house, which were turned on until the sky was almost bright.

Although I slept late at night, the next day was the Chinese New Year's Eve, and on the last day of the year, every family had to provide genealogy to welcome their ancestors, and the Lan family naturally couldn't get up late.

According to the discussion last night, Yunhua went to the grass shed built on the address of Xiaoshi's old house with Xiaoshi.

Therefore, Yun Fang, who was used to sleeping lazily, held up her heavy eyelids, but still found that her sister's bedding roll had been neatly rolled up.

Yun Fang grinned helplessly, worked hard for a long time, and she still got up late on the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve!

Yun Fang worked so hard that the voice of his brother Dashan came from the courtyard, "Mother, I have already wiped this offering table and put it in the main house." ”

"Damn, I've hung up my family tree," said my father, too, "and you're worried about the ashes on it for a while." ”

"Okay, okay," the mother's voice also sounded, "Dashan put down the offering table, you can hurry up and invite your grandparents, I'll just do the family affairs myself." Outside, Jin Feng and his uncle should be waiting for you, our family has never made the Ran family wait, we can't let others gossip because Yunhua went to the Shi family to help. ”

"I see, let's go. As Dashan's words landed, his footsteps sounded all the way from the main house to the courtyard, and went straight out of the courtyard gate.

Listening to the conversation between her father and her brother, Yun Fang quickly got up, put on her clothes three times and two times, grabbed her shoes and ran out, shouting as she ran, "Mother, I'm up, I'm up, I'm going to help you prepare a tribute!"

"You're just in time," the mother smiled and raised her head, and commanded, "You help me put two small bowls of braised pork, pig's head meat, lotus root tongs, and these vegetarian dishes, and then pour out three full cups of soju that your father fought." ”

As she spoke, her mother picked up the feather duster, gently dusted off the dust on the family tree, and wiped the tablet next to the world.

Yun Fang put two small bowls of all kinds of dishes according to her mother's instructions, and handed her mother a bowl for each bowl, watching her mother gently put these offerings in front of the family tree and the tablet of heaven and earth, the dishes were in duplicate, the family tree and the tablet of heaven and earth were the same, and all kinds of dishes were put on one port.

After setting up the dishes, Yun Fang poured three cups of burning knife wine, and the mother put two cups in front of the ancestral genealogy, but put one cup in front of the tablet of heaven and earth. Then three bowls of white rice were served, two bowls were placed in front of the ancestral genealogy, and a bowl was placed in front of the tablet of heaven and earth. Immediately after, after taking the chopsticks, two pairs were still placed in front of the ancestral genealogy, and a pair was placed in front of the heaven and earth tablet.

Yun Fang looked a little strange, but remembered what her sister Yun Hua told last night: Don't talk nonsense in front of the ancestors and heaven and earth, in order to avoid accidentally saying the wrong thing, just don't say anything, so as not to collide with the ancestors and heaven and earth.

Although Yun Fang was skeptical about such a rule, thinking of her sister's solemn expression when talking about these times and her mother's piety and caution when placing the offerings, she swallowed back the question that came to her mouth.

Yun Fang followed her mother to place the offerings, and her mother lit the ever-bright lantern in front of the ancestral and heaven and earth tablets, and placed the incense burner, but did not light the incense.

Just when Yun Fang felt strange, she heard a burst of 'crackling' firecrackers outside the courtyard, and her mother's face was happy, and she said with a smile, "Grandpa and grandma are about to come in, let's go and greet them at the door." ”

Yun Fang, who has been a little confused, was pulled out of the main house by her mother before she could react, and at the gate of the yard, her father and brother had already walked in with a handful of incense in their hands, and the incense had already been lit, and the fiery red incense trembled with the pace of Dad and the mountain, emitting wisps of fine smoke, emitting a special fragrance.

When my mother saw it, she hurriedly shouted, "Grandparents are coming home for the New Year, grandparents are coming home for the New Year, grandparents are coming home for the New Year." ”

While shouting loudly, he divided half of the incense that had been lit in Dashan and his father's hands, and then divided the incense in his hand in half and handed half of it to Yun Fang's hand.

At this time, my father had already taken the lead in entering the inner room and divided the incense in his hand into two parts, one in the incense burner in front of the ancestors who were serving the family tree, and the other in the incense burner in front of the tablet next to the heaven and earth.

After my father finished the incense, my mother also walked up, and like my father, she divided the incense in her hand into two and gave it to the ancestors and heaven and earth respectively. Then there was the mountain, and he also gave the incense tribute to the ancestors and heaven and earth with the same piety, and then the ancestors of the family tree moved their lips in front of them, chanting words, as if they were praying for something.

After a little half a cup of tea, Dashan left from the ancestral family tree with a solemn face, and then Yiyunfang. Yun Fang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly offered the incense burning in his hand to the ancestors of the family and the heaven and earth respectively.

With the incense-filled offering table, it was really different, the original ordinary offering table and food became solemn in the burst of pine fragrance, Yun Fang's curious and somewhat confused heart gradually calmed down, and found a sense of belonging that she didn't realize herself.
