ancestor worship

Su Li raised his lips and smiled contemptuously, and raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Su's eyes full of sarcasm: "It doesn't matter if I'm here to make trouble, Ah Bao is here today, I don't want the child to see anything bad, wait for Ah Bao to return to the academy after the end of his annual vacation in a few days, I'll come again, you can also think about it in the next few days." ”

After speaking calmly, Su Li got up and straightened her clothes, turned around and walked out with a faint expression, she had no idea about the mother and son now, if it weren't for the children, she didn't want to step into the door of the Su family at all, it would only make her heart cold.

"Mother, are you okay? What the hell is going on today? Didn't you go with Mo to take care of your grandparents? When Su Pingbao saw his mother come out, he immediately stepped forward anxiously to help Su Li's, and at the same time couldn't help but ask the doubts held in his heart.

A few days ago, when he went home and didn't see his mother and sister, his grandmother told him that his grandparents were sick, and his mother took his sister back to take care of him for a while. He thought that since his mother and sister had already gone to take care of him, he didn't have to worry about the day or two, not to mention listening to his grandmother's words, his grandparents' condition was not serious, so he didn't think much about it.

Seeing the worry in his son's eyes, Su Li's heart was slightly sour: "Mother is fine, your sister is still at her grandfather's house, mother will go back first, and when your grandparents are well in a few days, you will bring Ah Mo back, you should study your homework at home, don't think about it, something just happened today." ”

Su Pingbao didn't believe it, he felt that the matter was not as simple as his mother said, if it was just a trivial matter, why did he make a fuss? What's more, grandma and mother have always been harmonious, if something big didn't happen, how could it be like this? But looking at his mother's somewhat tired look, he hesitated for a long time, but he still didn't speak, originally he wanted to persuade Su Li to go to Li's house again tomorrow. But Su Li's brother came, and Su Li didn't stay after all.

Su Pingbao thought back to the anxious appearance of the eldest uncle and the second uncle when they first arrived, and the doubts in his heart rose again, his mother was just going home, why were the uncles so worried and anxious? Even though the mother looked a little embarrassed, the uncles were not surprised and angry, but as if they had a premonition, although they were angry, they did not immediately enter the door to question their father and grandmother, nor did they ask their mother what happened, if they had not reacted like this before! Before leaving, the uncles only looked at him without saying a word, and did not encourage him as usual, and after taking a look at him, they took their mother away.

Originally, Su Pingbao wanted to ask his uncles, but in this way, he didn't ask anything except for more doubts, and went back to ask his father and grandmother, but he didn't get any information. He clearly felt that his father and grandmother were perfunctory to him, and there was something hidden from him, but he couldn't ask. For the first time, Su Pingbao felt that he was so incompetent, and this home was not at all different from what he remembered.

Everything that happened in the Su family's old mansion had nothing to do with the Su Yue siblings, so the siblings had a good Chinese New Year's Eve.

...... [Mujia] ......

"Yingying, today you are going to the ancestral hall and temple in the village to worship, you have to follow the third brother, don't run around, you haven't been to the village, and no one knows one, there are many people at this time, you have to pay attention to it." Mu Jingjiu lowered his head and packed up the sacrifices for worship, and did not forget to tell Zhao Yingying one or two.

Zhao Yingying pouted helplessly: "Second brother, I'm not stupid, I'm not a child, you said it at breakfast just now, and you said it yesterday, how can I forget, and I don't know the severity, you don't have to worry." ”

Mu Jingjiu nodded when he heard this, and continued to pack things, in fact, he was subconsciously worried about telling Zhao Yingying, originally everyone knew that Zhao Yingying was a fool, and the people in the village naturally knew it, but now that he is suddenly not stupid, it is inevitable that there will be strange villagers, and he will have to explain it when the time comes.

"That's right, don't say that you leaked your mouth when the time comes, your stupid illness was cured by You's doctor, and so is the third brother's illness, so you have to remember it." Thinking of the illness, Mu Jingjiu had a headache again, this is what they had discussed before, and the external unified caliber, Mu Jingxiao and Zhao Yingying were both cured by You.

After all, whether it is the fact that Zhao Yingying is not stupid and still has medical skills, or Su Yuehui's medical skills, they all know that they can't let people know about it casually, after all, these villagers always like to get to the bottom of it, and they know it themselves, if they can do less, they will just have one less thing.

Zhao Yingying helplessly spread her hands at Mu Jing's feast, her face was depressed, and she still replied to Mu Jingjiu: "I know." ”

Mu Jingxiao reluctantly took her little hand, smiled at his nagging brother and comforted: "Second brother, don't be nervous, our family doesn't have much contact with the people in the village, and we meet the villagers every year at the time of this ceremony. ”

Mu Jingjiu was really nervous, and he sighed: "Alas, I hope so, the ancestors of our family and the ancestors of the people in the village have all fled to settle down, and there is really no clan kinship, just a group to keep warm, fortunately, our family is in the mountains, but there is a lot less trouble." ”

Mu Jingsheng looked at his younger brother like this, and suddenly became a little worried, he felt that Mu Jingjiu had been taking care of the housework for a long time, and this idea was getting closer and closer to the village woman, and the short things in the family began to be entangled, this can't be done! A good man can't develop that woman's mind! It seems that he has to find a daughter-in-law for his second brother quickly! can think of Mu Jingjiu's previous appearance of resisting, and Mu Jingsheng suddenly felt a headache.

But this business has to be handled by women, and now that they are all right, they must not be like before. Raising his eyes to look at Zhao Yingying, who was smiling, Mu Jingsheng shook his head helplessly, although these three brothers and sisters are not stupid, they are still like children, if they hand over the housework to her, I am afraid it will be even worse.

After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of Su Yue, Mu Jingsheng's ears turned red, thinking of Su Yue's calm and organized appearance on weekdays, he couldn't help but smile in his eyes, it seems that he still has to work his own, this family really needs an eldest sister-in-law the most. Now that the New Year has passed, Su Yue is fifteen years old like Zhao Yingying, and she can officially get married, Mu Jingsheng thought of this, her heart tightened, and she couldn't help but be nervous and expectant.

"Second brother, I think you must stop getting involved in these housework chores in the future, you are getting more and more nagging, you are not pleasing to girls like this, hum, then when will our second sister-in-law have to wait until she can enter the door!" Zhao Yingying looked at Mu Jingjiu with a heartbroken look and couldn't help laughing.

Mu Jingjiu was shocked that he almost didn't hold the things in his hand, and when he saw Zhao Yingying smiling happily, he couldn't get angry, so he had to turn his head and stare at his younger brother: "Take care of your daughter-in-law, you know how to laugh at me every day, I haven't bothered to do this for you?!" ”

Mu Jingxiao pinched Zhao Yingying's nose helplessly, and then said helplessly to Mu Jingjiu: "Second brother, it's not that I don't care, I'm reluctant, I don't want to restrain her." And what Ying Ying said is right, you really shouldn't worry so much, what you lack most now is a daughter-in-law, hurry up and marry us a second sister-in-law back is serious, otherwise you will continue to be laughed at by us. ”

Zhao Yingying smiled more happily with her cooperation, and stuck out her tongue, naughty no. Her father-in-law has really been spoiled by her these days, and his innocent style didn't dare to show affection in front of his family like this, but now he can throw dog food without changing his face.

Mu Jingjiu was immediately speechless by the little couple, looked at Mu Jingsheng who was watching the play, and shifted: "What about me, eldest brother, this is what you should work on, hurry up and marry Miss Su back to you as a sister-in-law, don't I have to worry about family affairs in the future." ”

Mu Jingsheng, who was suddenly bombarded, was not annoyed, he had already thought about it himself, so he just smiled faintly and treated it as if nothing had happened.

"Yes, yes, big brother, how are you and Ah Yue? Has there been any progress? Zhao Yingying suddenly burned the fire of gossip, and looked at Mu Jingsheng with glowing eyes, this big brother wanted to abduct her best friend's situation, she really didn't dare to intervene, she could only wait for things to develop.

Although she has been meeting Su Yue, she is cowardly and doesn't dare to ask, for fear that she will be self-defeating and unhelpful. So she didn't know how the two got along at all, mainly because Mu Jingsheng had always been very stable, and there was no obvious difference, so she couldn't judge it.

Mu Jingxiao and Mu Jingjiu heard Zhao Yingying's question, and they also turned their eyes to Mu Jingsheng, in fact, they have always been very curious, but based on the deterrence of their eldest brother, the brothers didn't dare to tempt, and they didn't even dare to ask, for fear that the eldest brother would be angry and angry, and it would be appropriate to be beaten up at that time.

Mu Jingsheng was looked at by the three of them like this, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, but his face was still calm and rigorous, and he said indifferently: "If I remember correctly, Yingying and Miss Su are the same age, don't you think it's inappropriate to say these things too early?" ”

Zhao Yingying blinked her eyes, and suddenly reacted, she and Su Yue were still young, they were only fourteen before yesterday, and they were not even the adult age of this world, and today she and Su Yue are only adults, fifteen years old. Ahem, she forgot about this stubble in her brain!

Mu Jingxiao and Mu Jingjiu also reacted, although they knew that Su Yue and Zhao Yingying were the same age, but Su Yue has always behaved very calmly and moderately, doing things very well and clearly, and treating people with their own courtesy, not like Zhao Yingying, who still has a bit of a childish playfulness, so they subconsciously regarded Su Yue as a more calm and older girl.

"Ahem, it's over the New Year now, Ah Yue is also fifteen, big brother, come on! Strive to get married this year! Anyway, let's marry back first! So I can play with Ah Yue every day! You don't have to make an appointment to go to the mountains every day, and you can still play at home. Zhao Yingying knew Su Yue's true details, but she was not embarrassed, and she gave Mu Jingsheng ideas with a straight face, she felt that these were not big problems.

As long as Su Yue and Mu Jingsheng can be happy with each other, then they will be together, she has no concept and feeling of getting married or something, the main thing is that she has never been married before, and the concept of marriage is also very vague, and she has spent her time in a coma after coming here, and she has always been the role of a little sister who is taken care of in the Mu family, so she actually has no consciousness of being a wife until now, otherwise she has not entered the role of a wife at all.

Mu Jingsheng listened to her still joking, and laughed helplessly, these three brothers and sisters may have to raise them for a few more years...... The affairs of the family really can't be relied on her.

Mu Jingxiao was also helpless when he heard this, but there was still a bit of spoiling in this helplessness, and the little daughter-in-law was still young, and he had the patience to raise it slowly. According to what the little daughter-in-law just said, he has already married back first, hasn't he? In this case, how could he be afraid that she would run away, even if the little daughter-in-law wanted to run, she had to run away, right? Mu Jingxiao secretly prepared a bunch of routines to chase his wife in his heart, and Zhao Yingying, who didn't know at the moment, was still naΓ―ve.

Mu Jingjiu looked at the relaxed appearance of several people, just chuckled and shook his head, and continued to work on his own business. Looking at the situation, he is really worried about it in vain, is the eldest brother more successful than him? From childhood to adulthood, what does the eldest brother want to do, which is not a matter of course? He's really fooling around.

Preparing the items to be used for worship, Mu Jingsheng took the lead in leading the little donkey to carry things, Mu Jingjiu took care of the donkey left and right to prevent accidental falling off and the like, and Mu Jingxiao led Zhao Yingying to walk behind, and the family slowly walked down the mountain.

And at this moment, Su Yue was preparing in a panic, she really had no experience in this kind of thing, if she hadn't gone to Su Cheng's family to pay New Year's greetings just now and saw their family preparing, she asked curiously, and then her aunt gave her a good science popularization, she didn't know that there was such a thing today.

In the previous life, although her family was also a long inheritance, but in the end it was a new era, many old customs have been simplified, and the worship is family-based, she has never seen such a collective clan sacrifice, even if the family worships the ancestors for the New Year or something, she is a daughter who is a daughter who is a kowtow to incense, and she does not touch her hands at all, and the original body of this world did not specifically do these before, although the family can worship the ancestors and the like or with the old house.

It's just that now that they have completely fallen out with the old house, they naturally won't get together again. Now that the family has already separated, she is going to take Su Pingrui to worship her ancestors alone. According to the etiquette system, Su Yue, as a daughter, does not have to worship ancestors or anything like that, but Su Pingrui is a man, so it is indispensable, although she is flustered, Su Yue is still calm, even if it is for Su Pingrui, she has to prepare well, and she must not allow mistakes today.

Su Pingrui was also busy helping, he still had an impression of the ancestor worship, knowing that this year was the first time they worshiped alone, so he also paid special attention to it, influenced and nurtured by the environment, and the little guy also attached more importance to these.

The sisters and brothers were busy going around, but in the end, they prepared everything before the ancestor worship began at noon, and participated in the sacrifice ceremony of the Su family on time.

Su Chengquan and his wife were relieved to see that the sacrificial items taken out by the sister and brother were not bad, on the first day of the new year, they were not allowed to visit the juniors as elders, only the juniors paid New Year's greetings, and this custom was nothing originally, after all, who didn't have an elder in the family? It doesn't matter if you visit the door or anything, but Su Yue's sister and brother just bumped into it, and they couldn't help in person, so the husband and wife could only do it at home in a hurry, and now they are finally relieved.

And Mrs. Su and Mrs. Su were not interested in seeing the ordinary sacrifices that the sisters and brothers were not prominent, and now the mother and son were still worried about Su Li's affairs, and they didn't have the heart to put it on Su Yue's sister and brother. However, Su Pingbao paid more attention when he saw the sister and brother, he felt that this cousin and cousin seemed to be a little different from previous years, but he didn't think much about it, and his mind was now also caught in the affairs of the family.

The ancestral hall of the Su family solemnly and rigorously carried out this worship matter, while the ancestral hall of Baijia Village, to which the Mu family belonged, seemed much more lively.

"Oh, is that doctor so powerful? All the illnesses of their family have been cured? A lady in a newly made red cloth dress was surprised.

The eldest lady who was snorting melon seeds on the side responded: "That's not it, if you want to say that the Mu family brothers are really lucky, this is simply a miracle doctor." ”

"That's really a miracle doctor, their family is blind, stupid, dumb and lame, don't say it, just say that Mu Saburo's fatal illness can be cured, pick up a life, isn't it a real miracle doctor!" A woman who listened to the gossip exclaimed in surprise, what was the situation of the Mu family before, but no one in their village did not know.

The four members of the Mu family appeared in the village, as they expected, which directly caused the surprise and sensation of the villagers, and explained with a tongue, it was not possible to work hard, Mu Jingjiu felt that his throat and eyes were about to smoke, Mu Jingsheng has always talked little, this work must not fall on his head, but it is over this stubble.

"Jing Xiao, you are in good health now, but you have to be careful, the root of your illness is brought from your mother's womb, don't worry about it, you will raise it for a few more years." The village chief patted Mu Jingxiao's shoulder seriously and said, the village chief's surname is Wu, he is the only talent in Baijia Village, and he is also the enlightenment teacher of the children in the village.

"Mr. Lao is worried, the students will take good care of their bodies, Mr. rest assured." Mu Jingxiao smiled, his smile was warm and warm, he still thought well about this enlightenment teacher, there are not many people in the entire Baijia Village who have affection with the Mu family, this Wu family is one.

Wu Xiucai nodded, stroked his beard and said kindly: "Okay, good, you suffered before, and now it is a blessing for your family to be blessed by God to meet a divine doctor, and your lady's illness is also cured, live a good life in the future, don't live up to God's favor." ”

"Yes, students follow the teachings of their teachers." Mu Jingxiao replied respectfully, the etiquette is afraid that there is no trace of fault, at this moment, even if he is wearing cotton clothes, he looks quite a bit of literati elegance, if Zhao Yingying can see it, he will be amazed and shouted, abstinence scholar!
