Chapter 155: Ancestor Worship

The news of Zhou's father becoming an official quickly exploded in the small courtyard of his grandparents. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The aunts who chatted with Zhou's mother were both happy and surprised at the moment.

Women like to compare, to be honest, even if Zhou's mother is from the city, everyone will not feel inferior, Zhou Hang's family is actually not chic in the city. I have to pay off my mortgage every month, and I have to earn tuition and living expenses for my two children.

Dad Zhou's work is stable, but he can't bear the large family expenses. Although Zhou's mother also has some ability, she set up a small store to sell computer consumables after being laid off, but it is only an underground stall and does not make money.

In this way, everyone has some sympathy for Zhou Hang's family, obviously living freely in the countryside, instead of squeezing their heads to the city to suffer!

However, Zhou Hang's family has undergone great changes this year, his father actually became an official, Zhou Hang's family rose in an instant, and Zhou's mother became an official's wife!

It took Grandpa Zhou a long time to figure out what everyone was talking about, and the old man couldn't keep his mouth shut!

The old man patted the back of Zhou Hang's hand tremblingly and said excitedly: "I will go to the grave in a while and tell the ancestors!" ”

"Good!" Zhou Hang responded with a smile.

Grandma Zhou took out a lot of firecrackers from under the kang mat and said to Zhou Hang: "I will go to the grave later, put these whips away, and go back to let your uncle go to the supermarket to buy some back, this year we must let the ancestors have a long face!" ”

"Good!" Zhou Hang responded with a smile again.

The so-called going to the grave is to go to the grave to worship the ancestors during the New Year, to express the memories and thoughts of the ancestors of the descendants, and at the same time to send money to the ancestors, and inform the major events that happened in the family this year. For example, a certain family is imported, such as a certain high school champion, etc., in short, it must be a very important thing to inform the ancestors.

This year, except for Zhou Hang's family, there is really nothing worth telling the ancestors about other families.

Zhou Hang was admitted to Shanghai University with high scores, and there is no doubt that this is a top priority for a family that attaches great importance to education.

Zhou's father changed from a civilian to an official and embarked on the road of official career, which is an exciting event to enhance the strength of the family.

Both of these must be told to the ancestors at the time of worship!

The achievements of Zhou Hang's father and son made everyone suddenly understand that the second family is no longer the small citizen's family that was strapped in the past, the second family has been completely up, and there is no doubt that it will become the leader of the Zhou family!

After pasting the couplet, the male members of the family began to go to the north of the village to worship their ancestors.

Zhou Hang drove a pickup truck, pulling the eldest uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, eldest brother and fourth uncle's younger brother to sit on the firecracker box in the back of the car.

The pickup truck drove up the north and south streets of the village, converging the members of the other branches of the family, and dozens of people drove towards the north of the village.

At the same time, other families in the village also gathered in large and small groups and walked towards the north of the village.

Because everyone walks on the same road, there are more cars and it is bound to be blocked, so many people don't actually drive, and they drive cars that are slightly higher-grade, or ride small cars with higher flexibility such as electric three-wheelers.

Zhou Hang and his gang drove pickup trucks, which was particularly conspicuous.

The uncle was in a very good mood, with the car window open, and kept greeting acquaintances in the village.

"Yo, Lao Zhou, I've driven a pickup truck this year, not bad····· Hmph, a broken pickup truck also drove out! ”

"Lao Zhou, haha, it's early this year, no need, let's walk······ Cut, my son's Mercedes Benz didn't come out, who are you throwing away from a small pickup truck, why don't you drive a tractor! ”

·······

Uncle didn't realize this, and his heart was very happy. He felt that the light on his face was not that he was driving a pickup truck to worship his ancestors, but that the second family finally got up, Hang'er was admitted to one of the top famous universities in the country, and Zhou's father became an official again, and the entire Zhou family followed suit!

"Hey, the orchard in front of you has not been bought?" Zhou Hang looked at the orchard in the northeast with slight surprise, in the orchard, there was a rather eye-catching ancient style attic, which was definitely not built by a countryman.

"Yes, I heard that an elder of the Tong family came back to care for the elderly." Uncle followed Zhou Hang's gaze and said with emotion.

"Tong's family?" Zhou Hang had no impression of this.

"I heard that the Tong family is doing business outside, and it seems to be doing a lot of business. Tong Lao is old, homesick too deep to come back, I met in the market a while ago, the old man has a good temper, and his body is also tough. "Uncle doesn't know much about the Tong family, after all, the Tong family left the village very early, and the old house is now gone.

Zhou Hang nodded and didn't ask any more. He parked the car on the side of the road, and looked at the cars in front of him speechlessly.

"Uncle, the firecrackers have to be carried in!" Zhou Hang shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said.

"It's just carrying it, what are you afraid of, we lack everything, we just don't lack strength, haha! Go, get off! The uncle got off the pickup truck in high spirits, and the third and fourth uncles also got out of the car with a smile.

Everyone carried paper, bamboo poles, firecrackers, and fireworks towards the ancestral tomb, and the scene was a little spectacular.

Zhou Hang found that he had the least strength, and the uncle was carrying heavy fireworks, one on one shoulder, and he felt a pain in his shoulder when he only carried one.

The uncle who was carrying the fireworks smiled even more happily and greeted the acquaintances in the village enthusiastically, because they found out that none of the fireworks Zhou Hang bought were cheap, there were several big fireworks, the unit price was more than five hundred, and the family was usually reluctant to buy them!

originally thought that the fireworks Zhou Hang bought would only cost a thousand yuan, but he didn't expect to buy high-end goods, and he suddenly felt more face.

It took five trips to finish moving the fireworks on the pickup truck, and a long wound was placed in front of the ancestral grave, which aroused many onlookers from the villagers.

"Yo! Lao Zhou's family bought such fireworks this year! ”

"It's making money!"

"I guess there are happy events at home!"

"How much do you get for fireworks for so many years?!"

"If you don't talk about it, you can get 10,000!"

"Wow... The Zhou family has really made a lot of money this year! ”

The eldest uncle led the third uncle, the fourth uncle and Zhou Hang to burn paper for the ancestors one by one, and the eldest brother and younger brother carried bamboo poles to set off firecrackers.

When Zhou Hang came back, the eldest brother had already finished setting off the firecrackers from every household in the Zhou family, and the people of Zhou Hang's generation were gathering together to wait for the elders to come back.

"Fireworks, hahaha!" Uncle shouted with a hearty laugh.

The elders of the Zhou family on the side surrounded the uncle, and kept asking if there was a happy event in the family recently, and the uncle sprinkled a cigarette on everyone, and laughed: "Our second family is an official?!" ”

"What?! Become an official! ”

"Yes, I'm the director of the urban management bureau!" The uncle smiled more and more proudly.

Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and they quickly responded and hurriedly said hello.

At this moment, the juniors of the Zhou family lit a firework almost at the same time.

In an instant, all kinds of fireworks rose into the air, blooming with brilliant brilliance in mid-air, dazzling and shocking, and magnificent!

The smell of fireworks spreads, and the smell of the year is getting stronger and stronger.

The movement here suddenly attracted everyone's attention, shocking, really shocking, countless fireworks rushed into the sky, bangbanging and blooming with colorful brilliance, covering a large area of the sky!

The brilliant fireworks also conveyed a message: Zhou family, get up!

······

At about ten o'clock in the evening, after the various processes were completed, everyone began to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at the grandparents' house, the old house was small, there were not too many people to sit at all, and the Zhou family had many families, so it was divided into two waves, female relatives and children on the kang, and adult men in the hall.

Dad Zhou squeezed out an hour, came back for a few bites of food, and rushed back to the city non-stop, which was considered the New Year.

At night, Zhou Hang was left by his grandparents, slept on the kang, listened to his grandfather nagging him for a night, and on the first day of the Lunar New Year, after the New Year, Zhou Hang's family returned to the city.

As soon as I rushed home in the afternoon, Song Hailong called, and the Spring Festival dinner mode was officially opened.
