Chapter 242: He Can't Control It
Gu Yuqiao watched her mother worship God, which was actually very novel.
Originally, she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and in the last days, many customs have long been lost. But with Xiao Milk Voice, with this experience, she can no longer be an atheist.
Besides, putting aside the elements of feudal superstition, people must still have faith in order to live.
With faith, no matter how difficult the days are, there will be a little hope, which can be regarded as cultivation or to pay off the debts of the previous life, so that no matter how hard and difficult it is, you can persist in living, and there is hope if you live.
With faith, reverence for the power of the unknown, restraint by morality, and belief in karma, some people dare not be unscrupulous and do great evil things.
At the suggestion of her mother, she also burned three sticks of incense, knelt in front of the offering table, and reverently learned the prayers of her mother.
"May Taiyin Niangniang bless my family with good health and safe entry and exit; May Ningshu return safely; May this year's wind and rain be smooth, and the test field will not travel to the pool; May all the best with mushroom planting; May the kapok tree be successfully promoted and planted; May the coconut oil business get better and better; May the good people who helped me today be rewarded......"
As he spoke, Gu Yuqiao smiled to himself, in fact, in addition to praying for peace, other things can and must be achieved through the hard work of his own hands.
People don't really rely on making a wish to the gods and think that they can easily do it without worrying about anything.
When you pray, you just say what you want to do.
"What are you laughing at?!" Lu Manjing patted her daughter's hand, glared at her, took the incense in her hand, and bowed down reverently and said: "Children are not sensible, Taiyin Niangniang is strange......
Gu Yuqiao obediently kowtowed to the moon three times, then stood up and ran to his father's side to eat melon seeds and admire the moon.
Thinking of what happened when he was a child, Gu Yuqiao pestered his family to tell stories.
There are many myths and stories related to the moon, most of which are extremely educational, and Gu Huaming told the story of Chang'e running to the moon.
After Gu Huaming's eyes were completely healed, he always felt that a pair of eyes were not enough, looking at the beautiful moon and the golden osmanthus flowers on the trees, not to mention how happy and comfortable.
Here, the family is happy to celebrate the festival, but the old Gu family is not so harmonious.
Now that the festival is no longer in charge of Lu Manjing, Xiao Huang is also busy taking care of the dying Gu Yulan, the people in the second room have not returned, and the Wang family saw that the family was not in shape, so he made an excuse in the afternoon and took his daughter and Xianggong back to his parents' house.
In this way, only Old Man Gu, Old Huang, Gu Donghua, and Gu Jincheng were still thinking about the festival and having a reunion dinner.
But he was destined to eat something casually, and no one even worshipped God, so Lao Huang had to take some incense and candles left over from the house, find some new rice, and worship.
Gu Donghua was still complaining there, saying that after Gu Yuqiao opened his mind, their originally good family was not like this.
Old Man Gu ignored her, put his hands behind his back, shook his head with a wry smile, and raised his head to admire the moon.
The children are already old and have their own ideas and thoughts, no matter how much he educates, they are only superficially obedient, and he can't control what to do behind the scenes.
Now I just hope that they can eat a trench and grow wise, live their own lives, and don't always think about greedy benefits from others.
Early the next morning, the gong at the entrance of Osmanthus Village rang out.
