Chapter 279: Ancestor Worship
As usual, as soon as Xiao Nian arrived, Fang Rui took Ye Mengfei back to his hometown Shazipo Village. Xiao Hui, www.biquge.info pen "Fun" Pavilion, also followed, Fang Rui told Xiao Hui to let him go home for the New Year, but Xiao Hui decided to leave Chinese New Year's Eve. He really couldn't be reassured, after all, there were still too many attacks in the past.
Fang Rui couldn't resist him, so he had to take Xiao Hui's car back to his hometown.
The biggest feeling when I got home was that I would never see the old man waiting at the door in the future. Fang Rui, who grew up with his grandmother, has a deep affection for his grandmother. But he didn't show it, he didn't want his parents to see his cowardice.
The sadness that Fang Rui hid was only known to Ye Mengfei, who was holding his hand. She now knows more and more about Fang Rui, how to comfort her, Ye Mengfei doesn't know, she can only hold Fang Rui's hand hard, trying to comfort Fang Rui with her warmth.
The last time Fang Rui went home, Ye Mengfei was in the United States, and this was the first time she saw his parents, so there was naturally no need to say much about her nervousness. Fang Rui's parents were very happy when they saw that their son had finally brought back a girlfriend seriously, and a warm shout made Ye Mengfei even more nervous.
Although Ye Mengfei was a little short, Fang Yongshou and Zuo Xiaolan were still very satisfied with the well-behaved Ye Mengfei. After a necessary exchange of pleasantries, several people returned to the house.
Celebrating the New Year in the countryside is the most important event of the year, and every house is lit up, and even the lanterns seem to be competing with which one is bigger. Fang Rui hasn't rested since he came back, cleaning up, hanging lanterns, pasting couplets, and something called glutinous rice money needs to be pasted on the window. This kind of East-West Fang Rui has only been posted in his hometown, and Fang Rui has never seen this kind of thing in F City.
Time flies very quickly when people are busy, it seems that it is not long to return to their hometown, but in fact, it is Chinese New Year's Eve, and Xiao Yi has also left Shazipo Village and returned to his hometown. Although the house in his hometown cannot be compared with the villa Fang Rui lives in now, the old house that has been cleaned up has a unique charm, and this charm is the taste of home.
Ye Mengfei didn't go home, her parents have settled in country M, and the feeling of spending the New Year there is always different, even if it is Chinatown, the New Year is the same as piracy, and there is no such joyful feeling in China at all. After Ye Mengfei and Fang Rui got to know each other, they both rushed to get married, and in Fang Rui's hometown, there is also such a tradition that the daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door will spend the New Year at her parents-in-law's house a year before she gets married, so Ye Mengfei stayed.
After a week of getting along, Fang Rui's parents liked this cute and sensible little girl even more.
After Chinese New Year's Eve, there is the Spring Festival, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, another important activity is to worship the ancestors. Ye Mengfei hadn't passed the door yet, so she naturally didn't need her to follow her to worship the ancestors, and she didn't feel sad or sad, because Fang Rui's mother, Zuo Xiaolan, didn't go either.
Unlike the people who died in the city, who live in urns, the people in Shazipo Village pay attention to entering the earth for peace. The cemetery is behind the holy mountain, and it is said to be a cemetery, but in fact it is a mass grave. Because the best location for feng shui in the surrounding area is there, most of the people in the surrounding families are buried there, and over time, a place similar to a mass grave has been formed.
As everyone knows, Feng Shui can be changed. Originally, it was indeed a treasure of feng shui, but if it continued like this, it might not be a good feng shui place. Burying too many corpses may cause this place to become a gathering place, and Daji will become a murderer in an instant, even if there is a corpse transformation, it is very possible.
But for now, it's still a true treasure of feng shui.
Father Fang Yongshou and Fang Rui came here.
Chinese New Year's Eve is the traditional day of worshipping ancestors in Shazipo Village, plus the dead in the village are buried here, so there were already many people there when Fang Rui and his son went. But fortunately, the location of Grandma Fang Rui's grave had already been chosen, and there were no other graves near Grandma's grave. This is also the last thing Shazipo Village did for grandma.
Fang Yongshou put down the fruit snacks, set up a small stove, and after the fire was lit, he began to sprinkle yellow table paper into it, and the innermost muttered, Fang Rui couldn't hear what Fang Yongshou was talking about at all.
Fang Rui also burned the paper in the same way.
As a person with a higher education, a person with low-level interests who are detached, Fang Rui originally did not believe in gods and ghosts. So in previous years, I didn't pay too much attention to worshipping the ancestor Fang Rui. However, the experience of the past year has completely subverted Fang Rui's three views, especially his worldview, so now Fang Rui is becoming more and more concerned about this ancestor worship activity that must be carried out several times a year.
The most important thing is that it is his grandmother who worships him.
He grew up with his grandmother since he was a child, and he didn't leave his grandmother's side until he went out to school. For his grandmother's feelings, there is naturally no need to say much, he didn't know what his father was doing, so he had to follow his father's previous instructions and tell his grandmother about the experience of this year, the more he said the more sad he became, and he couldn't help but whimper.
In a trance, Fang Rui seemed to see his grandmother looking at him gently. Fang Rui, who once again felt his grandmother's gentleness, couldn't help but shout, but after a cold wind blew, only a mountain of desolation remained. Fang Rui also somewhat understood Qin Xingwen's feelings when he entered the villa for the first time at this time. How much he wished to give everything just to see his grandmother's face again, but these were no longer possible, those memories seemed to be blown away by the wind, Fang Rui could only try his best to chase after it, not to let himself forget.
I don't know how long I've cried, so long that my tears seem to have dried up. Fang Rui's eyes were red, and he was mixed up by his father.
The sacrifices brought had already been burned by Fang Yongshou, and the two of them didn't want to stay here longer, so they went down the mountain along the way they came. On the way down the mountain, Fang Rui once again passed the road to the holy mountain.
He glanced inadvertently at the two pillars that represented the ghost gate. The words "forbidden" and "stop" on the pillar are still clearly audible, but the feeling that this pillar brings to Fang Rui is different.
Fang Rui didn't know why he had strange feelings, since his ability was getting stronger and stronger, Fang Rui's feelings seemed to be getting more and more sensitive. But even so, Fang Rui couldn't feel what had happened to these two pillars.
He shook his head and quickly caught up with his father's footsteps.
