Chapter 035: Pious Ancestor Worship

Shu Wan went to his uncle's house and found that their living room was a mess full of boxes.

Ding Dagang pointed at Su Li's nose and scolded: "Idiot! Moving without knowing the name on the box is divided into categories. Well, there are so many people in our family, who knows which box is which?! ”

Su Li was sweating from her nose and said, "Which one do you care?" I don't need you to clean it up. It's not time for me to clean it up. ”

"I'm a thief, are you reasonable? The beds are not made, where are you going to let us sleep? None of the kitchen things are separated, are you going to make us sleep on the bed board tonight hungry? Ding Dagang asked.

When Su Li saw Shu Wan appear, she came to the backer and cried, saying, "You are all uncles, and I am the maid." I packed from downstairs to upstairs, box by box. You're either watching TV, playing on your phone, or playing on your computer. You're going to complain now, aren't you handless and footless, and you won't clean up your own things?! ”

Since Shu Wan paid the family with real money, their attitude towards Shu Wan has obviously changed. For fear of provoking her, take the money back.

"Grandma, have you packed your things?" Shu Wan frowned when she heard this, and turned her face to ask her grandmother.

The two large snakeskin bags and things that were brought back from Shujiazhuang in Qi Tong's car had already been sent by Ding Xiang to send them over.

"I packed my things myself, and they were already laid out." Grandma replied.

She looked worriedly at her future inheritors, wondering how they would live when she was gone.

Shu Wan listened and raised his voice: "There are more than fifty people, and they are still noisy all day long, I am really convinced!" I'm not afraid of the sprouts laughing at you! The boxes are not too many to count, and they will be opened one by one, and marked one by one. Who's it, be nimb with your legs and feet, and move back to your room. Alright, my meal is almost ready, let's go over and eat. ”

"But, didn't Mom say that I want to worship my ancestors today?" Su Li said timidly.

"Tell your ancestors that it's okay to go to my house to eat. Right, Grandma? Shu Wan asked her grandmother.

Grandma said helplessly: "That's the only way." ”

The group came to Shu Wan's house.

The meal has been served. In the corner of the restaurant, there is a small square table, on which are neatly arranged four meat and four vegetables, which are used for worship. Vegetarian dishes should not be dipped in animal oil, and meat dishes should not be added with chili peppers, which is said to be the eating habit of our ancestors.

Three incense sticks and two candles have been taken out and placed in a corner of the square table.

"Wan, you call your father." Ding Xiang was busy serving food to the restaurant and said.

Shu Wan took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call, when a "beep" sound came from the door. Qi Tong came over in a small electric car. He turned off the lights, pulled out the car keys, and helped his drunken future father-in-law out of the car.

"Why are you so drunk?!" Ding Xiang threw the things in his hand on the table and hurried over to help.

She was a little angry, and Qi Tong didn't help stop the wine.

"Rejoice! I'm happy! Shu Zhihua muttered, in response to his daughter-in-law's question.

Qi Tong felt the unhappiness of his future mother-in-law, sweated profusely on his forehead, and explained: "My grandfather's family and my grandmother's whole family are here. Everyone clinked glasses a little more...... It was I who didn't take good care of me and made my uncle drink too much. ”

"It's none of your business. I don't know my dad's temper yet. He was not happy when others blocked the wine for him. Shu Wan put away her phone and spoke for her future husband.

"Why are you stunned? Why don't you hurry up and get a hand?! Ding Xiang yelled at Shu Wan.

"What can a little girl do? Ming, help help your aunt-in-law to the room. "Sully has a good eye at certain moments.

Ding Ming hesitated and stagnated. In his experience, this aunt likes to vomit the most when he is drunk. What if he spits out his newly bought shirt for 8,000 yuan?

Qi Tong suddenly squatted down and said, "Come, help my uncle help me on my back, I'll carry him up." ”

A bunch of people were in a hurry, helping to help Shu Zhihua onto Qi Tong's back.

Qi Tong walked to the second floor with his back on his back.

Ding Xiang led the way in front and nagged: "Qi Tong, it's not that Auntie is talking about you." You also know your uncle's temper, he has always been a good man, and he doesn't know how to refuse. When you're at home, you have to help keep it closed. Your uncle has high blood pressure and doesn't dare to drink like this. You don't know how many people with high blood pressure have a stroke every year because of drinking. ”

"Okay, Auntie, I remember." Qi Tong whispered yes.

"And Shu Wan. Her temper, you know, too. Your family is very particular, and you have to help remind and maneuver. Your mother usually looks very talkative, but when it comes to her interests, what she says goes straight to people's hearts like a blade. You have always been obedient and filial. To tell the truth, if Shu Wan really marries into your family, your uncle and I will be ten thousand uneasy. Ding Xiang said again.

"Auntie, I remember it all. Don't worry, I will never let Shu Wan suffer the slightest grievance in my family. Qi Tong hurriedly packed the ticket.

Ding Xiang sighed several times in a row.

Shu Wan followed silently, rarely without saying anything.

After helping Shu Zhihua to the bed, Ding Xiang asked Qi Tong and Shu Wan to go downstairs, and she helped him change clothes and take off his shoes, and served him to rest.

"I warn you not to drink and get unconscious," Shu Wan warned, "If you get drunk, I'll throw you on the side of the toilet and leave you alone, you like to vomit." ”

"Got it, daughter-in-law," Qi Tong whispered, "don't worry, I've already given my dad a drink of my grandfather's sobering soup, and he will wake up in less than half an hour, it's fine." ”

"My dad, your uncle, not our dad!" Shu Wan corrected.

Qi Tong came over with a smile, next to Shu Wan's ear, and said, "This is all right." At the dinner table, my grandfather personally mentioned the kiss to your father. Your dad said yes in one bite. The two have discussed, and the matter will be done by the end of this year at the latest. If you're quick, it's eleven soon. Otherwise, how could it be possible to drink so much alcohol? ”

Hearing this, Shu Wan's heart skipped a double beat. She has always advocated freedom of marriage and love and opposed the orders of her parents. However, when it was really recognized by the parents of both sides, she was very happy.

The two whispered and slowly went downstairs.

"Is your dad okay?" Grandma waited at the bottom of the stairs, worried.

"It's fine. My mom was waiting for my dad to rest, and he came down after a while. Shu Wan said.

The sprouts took off their shoes and jumped on the couch, giggling with joy. Sun Ting watched from the sidelines, holding on to his hands weakly, afraid that he would fall.

Ding Ming had already turned on the TV and looked at it, and said, "Shu Wan, the stereo of your TV is not good, you have to change it." ”

Ding Dagang took out the cigarette case from his trouser pocket, took out one and wanted to smoke, his eyes swept around, and he found that his niece was staring at him. He smirked, sniffed the cigarette on the tip of his nose, and put it back in the case.

Su Li is diligent, helping Aunt Tong to serve dishes and chopsticks together.

After a while, Ding Xiang came downstairs. She took a lighter, lit the candle on the square table, and inserted it in the candlestick. I lit three sticks of incense, took them to the door, and read in my mouth: "Today is a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, Shu Zhihua and Ding Xiang moved to a new house, please list the ancestors......"

The words were very soft and could not be heard clearly, but she could be heard faintly, and she explained the ins and outs very clearly, including why she was inviting her ancestors, not Shu Zhihua (because he went to Shu Wan's boyfriend's house to drink and accidentally got drunk). Generally speaking, the ancestors are the heads of the family.

Since Shu Wan moved out, he has rarely participated in such occasions again. When I saw it, I felt like laughing. She quickly covered her mouth and touched Qi Tong with her elbow, wanting to ask him if he was funny; saw Qi Tong with a serious face, staring at Ding Xiang.

Shu Wan couldn't help but put away his laughter.

Ding Xiang put the incense on, knelt down three times, and said for a while before standing up.

Let's come in order. Grandma came first, followed by Ding Dagang, Su Li, Ding Ming, Sun Ting, Bean Sprouts, and Shu Wan.

When the bean sprouts were finished, Ding Xiang asked Qi Tong if he would also bow down. Qi Tong said that since he came, he naturally had to explain, and he didn't know if he could worship with Shu Wan.

Ding Xiang hesitated and nodded.

Shu Wan was bending over, but when he saw Qi Tong coming, he squeezed himself to the side.

Shu Wan wanted to ask him what the situation was, but when he saw him with a pious face, he knelt down and bowed.

Shu Wan hurriedly followed his rhythm, and the two moved together.

Qi Tong couldn't afford to bow for the last time, and said in his mouth: "Hello to the ancestors of the Shu family and the ancestors of the Ding family!" My name is Qi Tong and I am Shu Wan's boyfriend. I am Chinese New Year's Eve four years old today, belong to a certain country, my ancestral home is Wangcheng, my father is Qi Bo, my mother is Ding Wei, and my grandfather's name is ...... Ancestors bless, I hope to get married as soon as possible, preferably before eleven, if you are really in a hurry, then at the latest I hope to ...... before the New Year."

Shu Wan thought he was funny at first, and his expression became more and more solemn later.

After the worship was over, Ding Xiang beckoned everyone to sit down and eat.

Grandma sighed with emotion: "I'm afraid that when I get old, no one in our old Ding family will do these things." Now, I'm staring at it. Xiang'er, you are still exquisite. ”

In the previous Chinese New Year's Eve, Ding Xiang still returned to worship. Shu Wan laughed at her, saying that her grandfather's family must also be worshipping, what if the time is heavy. was so angry that Ding Xiang had nothing to say.

"Mom, what do you want to do so much? Hurry up and eat. Turn around and hurry back to sleep. It's been a tiring day to move, and it's been hard. Ding Dagang said.

Ding Xiang said: "Mom, it's really no one after the 'sacrifice'. Like Wan, I don't think she can do these things. ”

Qi Tong opened his mouth and said, "Auntie, I will do these things in the future." ”

"Qi Tong, I can't see it, you're quite superstitious." Ding Ming interjected.

Qi Tong smiled slightly and said, "Whether there is it or not, I think it's quite interesting." People must not forget who they are, where they came from, who their ancestors were, and what they did. No matter how much you drop, you can't lose the face of your ancestors, and you can't let your ancestors starve underneath. ”

Grandma nodded again and again and said, "Qi Tong said it so well!" What does this have to do with superstition? It's just to tell us that we can't forget our roots and can't let our ancestors be ashamed. ”

"Don't talk about that. Everyone eats with chopsticks. The dishes are almost cold. Shu Wan diverted the topic.

Halfway through the meal, my grandmother suddenly stopped her chopsticks and said, "Wan'er, the girl you said really looks very similar to you?" ”
