Shujia Village is in a big ravine, and inconvenient transportation has become a big problem.

But even so, it can't change the Shu family's enthusiasm for worshiping their ancestors.

In the Dragon Bone Mountains, only the Shu family still retains the ancestral hall and a complete genealogy.

It is not that there is no whole village with the same surname in other places, but there is no ancestral hall in those places, there is no genealogy, and naturally there is no patriarch and clan elder.

Shu Nuan can't remember how many elders there are in the family, but he knows who the patriarch is.

Because the ancestor worship is the solar term spring equinox every year, and the day has never been changed for decades, so that even if those who are out of the clan and develop outside, even if they want to participate in this ancestor worship activity, they can completely get stuck in time.

Shu Nuan did not hesitate to help or not, and directly answered Wu Huihong's inquiry.

"Grandma, since it's the day after tomorrow, that person will go to help tomorrow afternoon."

Wu Huihong nodded: "Well, you can make up your own mind." ”

Shu Nuan knew that someone was in charge of the banquet on the day of the ancestor worship, and even if she helped, she would only cut vegetables and serve the plates.

In fact, there are many people who volunteer to help in the village every year, and she did not participate in the first two years because of work.

She still has plenty of time to participate in this year's event.

Shu Nuan lowered his eyes and thought about things silently, and with a casual sweep of his eyes, he noticed the villagers passing by outside the gate of his house with hoes.

Suddenly, a thought crossed her mind, and she couldn't help but look up at the old man who was knitting a sweater in front of her.

"Grandma, are you going to raise seedlings these days?"

She knew that this time of year was the time to raise seedlings, but she was a little vague about what day it was.

Wu Huihong's hand that was knitting a sweater paused slightly, and after thinking for a while, she said slowly: "In the past two days, someone has started to raise seedlings, and our family has only been in the past two days." ”

When Shu Nuan heard this, he hurriedly proposed: "It just so happens that I have time in the past two days, and I will go and turn over the ground tomorrow morning." ”

When she came back this time, she just took care of all the things that should be dealt with, after all, she still has to do business, and she can't come back often.

Wu Huihong listened to her words and nodded silently.

After discussing what he was going to do tomorrow, Shu Nuan thought about it and took his hoe to his field.

"The sooner you turn the ground, the sooner you can sow the seeds."

Shu Nuan held this idea, and spent the whole afternoon weeding and plowing the field in his own field.

The next morning, after finishing her work in the fields, she set out for the patriarch's house.

Everyone defaulted to the fact that the noon banquet was held at the patriarch's house, and a large piece of land in front of the patriarch's house had been weeded and leveled by everyone in advance some time ago.

On the way, I met a few aunts.

"Shu Nuan is back?"

Shu Nuan smiled and nodded: "Yes." ”

"Are you going to the patriarch's house?"

"Well, let's see if we need help."

Several aunts smiled and pulled her enthusiastically: "Let's ...... together"

Surrounded by the rest of the people, Shu Nuan had not yet reached the destination, and saw a lively group of people on the flat land in front of the patriarch's house from a distance.

"There are so many people."

Shu Nuan looked at the crowd in front of him and sighed softly.

Several aunts beside her pulled her forward quickly, urging as she went: "Let's go, let's go to the patriarch to buy tickets quickly, and we won't sell tickets if it's late." ”

Every year, the number of people who participate in this ancestor worship activity is based on the number of people who buy tickets.

One ticket for one person, you can come to dinner at noon when you buy a ticket.

"Patriarch, let's buy tickets."

The loud aunt shouted, and the patriarch, who was writing a greeting with a brush on red paper, put down the brush in his hand and turned his head to look here.

The patriarch is a grandfather in his fifties, and his silver-white hair is hidden in the jet-black hair, which looks unusually dazzling. However, the patriarch obviously didn't care much about this, and still had a thick smile on his face.

"How many copies?"

After the patriarch spoke, several aunts who were still holding Shu Nuan's arm let go of her and walked over quickly.

Shu Nuan looked at the few people gathered around the table, and smiled slightly with the corners of his mouth hooked.

It's still early, and everyone is busy building the platform.

Whether it's a makeshift stove or a performance table that needs to be used tomorrow, it needs to be done this afternoon.

"Forget it, let's buy a ticket first."

Shu Nuan exhaled lightly and walked to the table.

"Patriarch, three tickets."

Tomorrow is not the weekend, and the school is not closed, but if you hurry up at noon, you can still catch the lunch meal.

Therefore, when Shu Nuan bought a ticket, he also bought one for his younger brother.

"Three pieces and five one."

The patriarch said about this year's fare, and then took out the handwritten bill that had been prepared in advance from the box.

Shu Nuan took the money and took the ticket, and moved to the side to make way for the other newcomers.

She lowered her eyes to the bill in her hand, which was written with a brush on the cardboard bill, and the mark of a red seal was stamped in the lower left corner.

Because of this handwriting and this seal, there is naturally no fraud.

"I'll get it back later."

Shu Nuan muttered secretly, and then raised his eyes to look around.

She now has to find the master first, and then she can go to the back kitchen to help.

After looking around, she didn't see the shadow of the master.

"Where did the people go?"

Every year the master comes to help before lunch, and this year should be no exception.

Shu Nuan saw that there was no one in the courtyard outside, so he walked towards the courtyard of the patriarch's house.

The conditions of the patriarch's family are very good, and the house he built is also one of the best in the village. The blue brick house and small garden are not something that other families can have.

After going into the courtyard to take a look, she spotted an acquaintance.

"Brother Mouse, why are you here?"

Shu Hao was carrying the big wooden barrel, and after hearing Shu Nuan shouting to himself, he wiped the sweat stains on his head and greeted with a smile: "Nuan Nuan, you are here too." I'm here to help out later, and I'm going to ship back tomorrow's food. ”

Shu Nuan nodded to show that he understood, and glanced at the kitchen of the patriarch's house: "Brother Mouse, have you seen my master?" ”

"You're looking for Master Wu. Well, he's inside, go yourself. ”

Shu Hao stretched out his hand and pointed to the house, reminding Shu Nuan to go in and see.

"Then I'll go first, and I'll talk to you later."

Shu Nuan waved his hand and walked quickly to the inside of the house.

Most of the people who came to help this time were women, and she and the aunts in the village could only say that they knew each other, but the relationship was not good.

Therefore, even if several aunts over there were chatting enthusiastically, she was not easy to interject, after all, the age gap was there, and naturally there was no common topic to talk about.
