ancestor worship
Winter is coming again, and the New Year is coming as scheduled.
"Stone, get up quickly, let's hurry to the ancestral hall, don't let the elders of the clan wait for us." On the first day of the Lunar New Year, before dawn, Xie Dawei ran to Xie Yanqing's room to call him to get up.
Because today is the day of their Xie family's ancestor worship, Xie Yanqing, as a prominent figure in the Xie family's lineage, naturally cannot be absent, and he is still one of the protagonists in today's ancestor worship.
Xie Yanqing opened his eyes in a daze, saw Xie Dawei standing beside the bed, and reluctantly said, "Dad, I know, I'll get up right away." ”
As Xie Dawei came to the ancestral hall in the village, Xie Yanqing was instantly infected by the solemn atmosphere, and his face became dignified and serious. Although he is not a big advocate of ancestor worship, he respects this culture.
After the ancestor worship was completed, Xie Yanqing breathed a long sigh of relief, he was really tired! As a relatively important figure in the Xie family's lineage now, Xie Yanqing is very valued, which naturally means that he appears to bow down a lot. Ordinary clansmen only need to kowtow to the ancestral tablet in the center and bow down 3 times. However, he needs to kneel at every tablet, and when the elders of the clan recite the ancestral shrine, everyone else is standing, so he needs to kneel in the center of the ancestral hall.
"Stone, are you okay, although you have been kneeling for a long time, but this glory is not something that everyone can have, you really fight for our family." Xie Dawei patted Xie Yanqing's shoulder and smiled proudly, just now I don't know how many people were saying sour things in front of him, envying him for giving birth to a good son.
"That's right, Shi, you see that you are so valued in the clan now, you can't live up to our expectations, you must study harder in the future, and strive to be admitted to Xiucai as soon as possible." Xie Mancang is also full of smiles, how can there be anything happier than his own descendants fighting for anger?
Now they can raise their heads in the clan because his grandson is promising. Thinking of this, Xie Mancang was sad again, almost all of the people in the village used to have the surname of the Xie family, and their Xie family was full of talents, and it was very difficult to want to be the top in the clan at that time. Now, there are only 18 families in Qinghe Village, and most of the others have fled their homes during the turmoil. His eldest brother's family has not heard from him for so many years, and he doesn't know if he is still alive now.
"Dad, Dad......" Xie Dawei shouted loudly.
"What's the matter?" Xie Dawei's voice made Xie Mancang suddenly wake up from his thoughts, and his brain seemed to be a little unable to react.
"Dad, what are you thinking, I called you several times but didn't respond. Let's hurry up and go home, the stone has been kneeling for so long today, and the weather is so cold, we have to go home and rub some medicine and wine on him, otherwise this knee will definitely hurt tomorrow. ”
Xie Mancang realized that because he was thinking about things all the way, he walked very slowly, he had walked for so long, and he was still far from home. "I didn't think about anything, so let's go back quickly. Stones, you have to soak your feet well when you go back, and then rub them with medicinal wine. Xie Mancang admonished.
"Okay, grandpa, I know. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be rubbed with medicinal wine, you know, I'm the most afraid of pain. Xie Yanqing had a hippie smile.
"You little slippery head, you're still a reader, you're always so hippie and smiling, not serious." Xie Mancang joked that Xie Yan Qingdao.
Xie Yanqing smiled when he saw Xie Mancang hear his words, and then he was relieved, Xie Mancang's frowning brows just now could kill a few mosquitoes.
"The eldest daughter-in-law, the second eldest and the third daughter-in-law, you will wait until the third year of junior high school this year to go back to your parents' house, tomorrow your aunt and sister-in-law will come back, and the family will get together." At the dinner table, Li suddenly spoke.
The smiles on Chen's faces flickered for a moment, and then they returned to normal.
"Mother, don't you usually go back to your parents' house in the second year of junior high school? I told my family that if I changed it suddenly, my family would be worried if they didn't see anyone. Wang Fengniang was the first to speak out, her younger brothers and sisters are still young, and now the family is supported by her mother, so she is very worried about her family, and she can't wait to go home every New Year.
"Really, third daughter-in-law, I didn't say that you wouldn't go home, but what could you delay when you go home a day late? Your aunt sent me a message, saying that there is something to discuss, and I want you to know what it is, so I asked you to stay, if you don't want to know, then you can go back to your mother's house tomorrow. Li said angrily, really, isn't it just embroidery to make a few dollars? She usually doesn't teach her, but she really warped.
Wang Fengniang saw Li's dark face and immediately reacted that she was making Li's unhappy, so she hurriedly remedied, "Mother, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I didn't have anything to do when I went home a day late, so I will go home again in the third year of junior high school." ”
What else can Chen and Xiao Li say? The meaning of the Li family is so obvious, and besides, they really want to know what the Xie family's aunt is talking about. So they immediately said, "Okay, mother, I'll go back to my parents' house in the third year of junior high school." ”
