After resting and chatting with the elders for a while, the elders of the clan began to greet the men of the family and began to gather in the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall of the clan is located in a vacant lot in the east of the village, and it is a courtyard in the style of the Hui school. The white walls and black tiles are particularly solemn and simple.

When Han Li and the others arrived, they found that many clansmen had already come. At the moment, weeding, cleaning, cleaning, busy.

Seeing this, Han Li and the others naturally hurriedly joined in. The men did their work cleanly, so it didn't take long to clean it up.

Seeing that everyone had almost arrived, the elders of the clan, who were also the only remaining elders in the clan, stood up and began to organize ancestor worship ceremonies.

Of course, the whole process, Han Li, they can't see. Because there are more people, these young generations are all staying outside the ancestral hall, and the elders of Han Li's grandfather and father's generation are gathered in the ancestral hall.

Although they all stayed outside, Han Li and the others had an important task, that is, to set off firecrackers. This is one of the favorite projects of young people, so every year everyone will compete for this 'position'.

Originally, Han Li was also an active member of this group of people, but this year he gave up and stood aside to watch the excitement. He is mentally mature, and he really doesn't have the mood to compete for toys with these brothers and cousins who are similar to him.

In the sound of crackling firecrackers, the elders of the clan began to pay tribute to the ancestors, read the sacrificial words, and then recite the clan motto with everyone.

The content of the clan motto is basically the same, most of them are not allowed to be traitors and criminals, and they are not allowed to be cheated and abducted. Be innocent and do things seriously. Unite your people, be kind to others, and so on.

When he was a child, Han Li naturally didn't understand what these meant, but gradually understood the meaning. Perhaps, this family motto is the secret to maintaining the longevity of their family.

After all this is done, the ceremony is over, and everyone can go home for a reunion dinner.

Because Han Li's grandfather is still there, except for his sister-in-law who married Chinese New Year's Eve this meal, the three families have to eat this Chinese New Year's Eve meal together.

Preparing a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for everyone is honestly a very heavy job. So every year, in addition to his eldest aunt and second aunt as the main force, Han Li's mother Yang Fang, and the three daughters-in-law of the eldest aunt and the second aunt will also join them.

And when Han Li and the others came back from worshipping their ancestors, they all sat around the brazier, chatting about interesting things while keeping warm.

Most of them are anecdotes from various families, and Han Li is relatively young, so he can't talk about it. So when I was bored, I could only pick up my phone and start chatting with Qi Ranq.

"What are you doing, have you eaten?"

"Giggles, no, what's going on with your hometown?" Not long after it was sent, Han Li received Qi Ran's reply.

"That's it, but a lot of people are back this year, and it's very lively." As he spoke, Han Li sent Qi Ran a few photos over.

"There are a lot of people in your family, so lively, is this a ancestor worship?"

Han Li gave a smile and said, "That's right, worship your ancestors in the ancestral hall." Today I also looked at the genealogy, and my name has been compiled into it. When you pass through the door, your name will be added to it. ”

"Phew, what are you talking about, I don't want to."

"Sooner or later, Taizu has said that love that is not for the purpose of marriage is called a hooligan. Anyway, are you trying to play hooligan? ”

"You're just a hooligan, shameless."

"I want to play, but you're not here."

"Phew, the more you talk about it, the more you don't take it seriously."

"I miss you, do you miss me?"

"Hmm."

"What do you mean, do you want to think about it?"

"Guess!"

……

Looking at Han Li's chat with a smile on his face, his cousin Han Bing on the side joked at Han Li: "What's the matter, Xiao Li, I just went to college for half a semester, and I fell in love." ”

Well, Han Li, who woke up from the chat, saw that so many elders were looking at him, so he quickly shook his head and said, "That's the matter, chatting with a friend." ”

"Girlfriend, huh?" The cousin on the other side, Han Yong, answered with a smile.

"What kind of girlfriend is just an ordinary friend." Han Li hurriedly vetoed.

Hahahaha......

Looking at Han Li's hurried defense, everyone laughed. Han Li only felt that his reaction was a little big at this moment, it was like there were no three hundred taels of silver here.

"Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, this kid has grown up." Grandfather Han Honghua, who was sitting in the middle, said with some emotion.

"Yes, every time this monkey boy comes back, he makes a fuss at home, and he grows up in a blink of an eye." The uncle on the side also laughed.

"Oak, tell us about your object?" Everyone became interested all of a sudden, and then gossiped at Han Li.

In the face of everyone's jokes and gossip, Han Li couldn't resist it, so he hurriedly hid out. Looking at Han Li's way of escaping with his tail between his legs, everyone present laughed.

The reunion dinner of the big family was naturally very lively, and after a few glasses of wine, the slightly drunk grandfather went back to the room to rest.

As soon as Grandpa left, the atmosphere became even more lively. The father and the eldest uncle and the second uncle drank it, while the mother chatted with the eldest aunt and the second aunt and a few cousins.

A few cousins even punched there, having a lot of fun. Only Han Li was there with a few nephews and nephews, drinking Coke and waiting for the food to be served.

It's not that Han Li can't drink, it's that he is driving a car today, and he really can't drink. Especially since it was no one else who was sitting in the car, but his parents. So no matter how the cousins persuaded him, Han Li always didn't drink anything.

The meal lasted nearly two hours, and it was over after everyone had eaten and drunk.

After a short rest, it's time to start sweeping the grave. If it is said that the ancestral hall is a major event for the whole clan, then this tomb sweeping is each family's own business.

But with so many cousins, plus my father and second uncle, it's a lot more lively. Burn some value for the deceased ancestors, light a lamp, weed, and pat the soil. In the process, the father and the eldest uncle and the second uncle also told them interesting stories about their childhood.

As for the interesting stories of my parents' childhood, it seems that everyone is very interested. And the fathers are happy to tell their heroic deeds when they were young, to their juniors.

But before he was complacent for three seconds, the uncle next to him revealed the truth, and then ridiculed. In this regard, the fathers could only defend themselves with their necks and argue.

By the time the tomb sweeping was over, it was already getting dark.

Not long after returning to the uncle's house, my mother began to urge her to leave.

In this regard, the uncles and uncles must keep it, but it is more or less polite. Because they haven't stayed here for so many years.

I heard that Han Li and they were leaving, and the grandfather who was still resting got up. However, the old man didn't say anything, but gave Han Li a red envelope.

Although Han Li refused, his grandfather still forced it into his hand. The so-called elders don't dare to resign; It is deserved, but it is disrespectful.

Han Li finally took the red envelope, and drove away from the village under the watchful eyes of his grandfather and the second uncle's family.
