Chapter 157: Ancestor Worship

After the freshness of the first day, Wang Xiao didn't go to guard anymore, not to mention the smell of fireworks, and the smoke made his eyes uncomfortable, it seemed that it was not easy to eat anything!

Although Wang Xiao also wants to smoke the meat as soon as possible, it will not be smoked day and night, and the guards can't stand it.

Usually Li Baoping got up early, lit a fire, and went to bed early when he saw it at ten o'clock in the evening.

After smoking it for four or five days, the meat was yellow, black, and black, and when it dried a lot, Wang Xiao said that it was smoked.

Everyone looked at this black thing and wondered, can this be eaten?

Li Baozhen's brows were furrowed, this looked even more terrifying than the dark dishes his brother had made before, can he put his mouth shut?

However, Min Qing was full of interest, and he was very confident in Wang Xiao's craftsmanship, and asked Wang Xiao how to eat it.

The bacon just under the kang is the best, Wang Xiao drooled when he thought about it, and quickly ordered Min Qing to burn the skin, wash it cleanly and cook it.

Everyone outside the courtyard smelled a burst of meat, and they were all hungry.

Many villagers came over and asked her what she was cooking, it was so fragrant.

Wang Xiao didn't hide it, and the villagers who came to the door were invited to come in and wait to eat meat.

After cooking almost, Min Qing scooped up the meat, cut it and steamed it in the pot.

The others just watched with their eyes, but Min Qing cut it on the side, and couldn't help it, so he got a piece in his mouth.

Salty and fragrant, full of oil, Min Qing squinted, only felt that he had never eaten such delicious meat.

After only steaming for a while, Min Qing brought out the big bowl of bacon, and when everyone tasted it, they were immediately shocked by this special way of eating, but they didn't expect the smoked meat to be so delicious.

Liu Zhiheng ate more than ten pieces in a row, if it wasn't too salty, he could continue to eat, this time he was satisfied, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu will pick me up in a while, I'll go back, bring me two pieces of bacon and go back to please my grandmother, with her protection, my father won't do anything to me." ”

Since it was brought to the old man, Wang Xiao didn't say anything, and put it up more.

The Liu family has a large population, and everyone tastes it and is happy.

Since the village chief had collected the money, he contacted Master Wang, who had been helping to repair the ancestral hall, and asked them to repair the ancestral hall before Chinese New Year's Eve.

Master Wang is very familiar with the ancestral halls of the two families, and after a casual look, he knows that those places should be made up and those places should be changed, and try to make the ancestral hall better under the condition of making less money.

After all, it is an old customer, and it is still pointing to long-term cooperation.

Originally, I thought that as in previous years, according to the amount of silver, I could just repair casually, and it would not take much effort to finish it before Chinese New Year's Eve, and then go home for the holiday.

But he didn't expect that the ancestral hall of the Wang family would have more money this year, and it was impossible for him to make more money with his conscience, so he thought about making the ancestral hall of the Wang family better, so he spent a lot more effort.

Fortunately, the people under his hands were all old men who had followed him for many years, and they were quick and listened to the arrangement, and they hurried to complete the project two days before Chinese New Year's Eve.

The two ancestral halls are in the same village, and Master Wang also understands the rules, so he did not make the two ancestral halls too different, so as not to embarrass everyone in the same village.

After the ancestral hall is repaired, it is the most important ancestor worship in the village once a year, this morning, every family in the village got up early in the morning, put on new clothes, put on new hats, and took out 120,000 points of attention.

When Wang Xiao was still in the Wang family before, he had no chance to attend such an occasion.

Her mother is weak, at this time the Wang family arranged for their mother and daughter to work at home, and then her mother left, and the Wang family didn't even bother to find an excuse, so it was: "Don't go if you look so depressed, lest the people in the village think that the Wang family has abused you." ”

Now Wang Daoren called her up early, and chose clothes and hairpins for her.

Wang Xiao sat in front of the bronze mirror and smiled bitterly: "It's just to sacrifice an ancestor, Dad, don't you want to be so exaggerated, and you don't go on a blind date!" ”

"If you go on a blind date, how can such a little thing be enough, you have to buy it all again."

Li Baoping waited in the courtyard from afar, and after listening to the words inside, he deliberately said: "Xiaoxiao wants to go on a blind date, with whom?" ”

Wang Xiao stuck out his tongue: "Okay, Dad, you can go out too, I can handle it myself." ”

Wang Daoren looked very dissatisfied, and snorted coldly: "The stinky boy has a bunch of peach blossom debts, and he is still jealous here!" ”

When he came out of the courtyard, he couldn't help but glance at Li Baoping: "You kid has a long way to go, don't think that you can forgive you and your little cousin by coming over every day to be courteous and we can forgive you for the matter of your little cousin, a big man will be calculated by a girl, it's really useless, I don't dare to hand over Xiaoxiao to you!" ”

Li Baoping smiled bitterly, knowing that this hurdle could not be passed: "Uncle Wang is right, I will definitely take this as a warning in the future and never do it again." ”

Wang Xiao changed into a azure skirt and combed a simple hair ornament by herself.

Every time she was dressing up in front of the bronze mirror, she couldn't help but think that this was fortunately in the village, if she was in a big family or in the palace, she would not be tired to death from combing her hair every day.

After going out, seeing that Wang Yan was not there, Wang Xiao shouted to her: "You don't want to join in the fun?" ”

"I'm pregnant with a child, I'm afraid of being crowded with too many people!"

Wang Xiao knew that she was afraid that she would be uncomfortable when she saw the people of the Wang family, so she no longer forced him.

When they arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, they found that many villagers had arrived, men and women, old and young.

It takes too much time to make incense one by one, everyone kneels and kowtows together, and then it is enough to do a simple ritual.

The ancestor worship is presided over by the patriarch, the *** of the Wang family is in front, the woman follows behind, and people with foreign surnames like Li Baoping go around the ancestral halls of the two families and go through the motions, just mean it.

In previous years, Li Shuren was busy with these things to socialize, but in order to accompany Wang Xiao, Li Baoping said that he would come.

Wang Qiushan led several sons to stand in front, and Wang Xiao followed the Wang family to stand behind.

She was short, and she could only see the backs of the people in front of her, there were so many people and it was stuffy, and she just wanted to get back quickly.

Besides, Dad's legs and feet are not good, and he can't stand too much.

It was the patriarch's grandson, a teenage little radish head, who handed the incense, and only after making sure that everyone had some good incense in their hands did the patriarch begin to speak.

Summing up the major events that have happened in the Wang family's family in the past year, everyone will help each other in the future.

It's all a clichΓ©, and everyone is a little absent-minded.

When Wang Xiao was listening in a daze, the patriarch suddenly said, "Wang Xiao, come here!" ”

She jerked her head up and looked forward, only to see that many people had turned their heads and looked at her with different expressions.
