Chapter 401: Rebuilding the Ancestral Temple
The ancestral hall can only be attended by the men of the family, and the women of the family are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, even if they come to offer incense, they can only stand outside the ancestral hall hall, and are not allowed to enter the hall where the tributes are placed.
Lu Yao followed behind Lu's father, found a place on the offering table that was not full of tributes, and put the rice cakes, braised fish, braised pork, tofu, white wine, and so on that he brought.
Later, after Lu Mingyi presided over the ancestral prayer, he began to burn paper, incense, and firecrackers in the courtyard of the ancestral hall.
At this time, Lu Yao suddenly saw a few little heads peeking out of the courtyard, and he couldn't help but smile, knowing that these naughty mischievous people must have wanted to pick up firecrackers and play.
In the morning, a few of their bear children blew up other people's dung pits, and their parents confiscated the firecrackers and other things on their hands, so they paid attention to these firecrackers.
Lu Yao also did this kind of thing when he was a child, but when he was a child, because his family was poor and couldn't afford to buy a firecracker, he had to pick up squibs after firecrackers were set off with Lin Songsheng and them.
In the past, the level of craftsmanship was a little worse, basically every firecracker had more than a dozen squibs that could not sound, Lu Yao and the others picked up these squibs, tore the red skin on the outside, and poured the gunpowder inside into a bamboo tube.
After the bamboo tube is filled, find a few long leads and connect them, and use them to fry fish or rat holes or something.
The power of this kind of earthen bamboo firecracker is similar to that of the current earth-shaking thunder, but the risk is also relatively large, Lu Yao They have played a few times, and once they saw that the ignition stuffed in the hole did not respond for a long time, thinking that it was not lit.
Lu Yao stepped forward to check, but as soon as he got close to the bamboo firecracker, it exploded, his ears buzzed, and a piece of bamboo that flew out grazed his eyebrows.
Fortunately, Lu Yao's eyes closed quickly, otherwise he would have been blinded by stabbing his eyes that time, Rao was so, his eyes were also red and swollen for several days, and he was beaten by Lu's father when he went home.
Since then, he and Lin Songsheng have never dared to play such dangerous things again.
But that was all when Lu Yao was a child, and now that the level of craftsmanship is developing so fast, there are no longer so many squibs, and there are only a few firecrackers that don't sound at most, and if you want to collect all the gunpowder that can make your own earthen cannons, I don't know how long you have to look for it.
These bear children don't know who they heard it from, and they plan to do it as well, Lu Yao estimates that they will be disappointed in a while.
The key is that if they are seen by their father again, their buttocks will definitely bloom, but fortunately, they are more solid and not afraid of beating, and now that the New Year is over, the elders are still more measured.
If we wait until tomorrow's first day of the Lunar New Year, as long as these bears and children don't burn down their houses, they will basically not be beaten.
Lu Yao looked at their sneaky appearance, thinking of his own childhood, he felt quite funny.
At this time, Father Lu's voice came from his ears: "Xiao Yao, what do you want? Hurry up and come over to make incense." ”
Lu Yao came back to his senses, took a handful of incense that had not yet been opened from his father's hand, opened the outer cover, came to the burning pile of paper, lit the incense, and gave half of it to his father.
Lu Yao lifted the remaining incense, came to the ranking of the ancestors, bowed down to them, bowed to them, chanted words in his mouth and bowed three times, and inserted all the incense into the incense burner.
When he walked to the door, he suddenly heard Uncle Jiu asking Lu Mingyi: "Mingyi, I heard that the village is going to be renovated, so when will you rebuild the ancestral shrine?"
The seventh uncle next to him also nodded again and again: "Yes, now that the village is developed, you can't forget your roots, this is the result of the blessing of your ancestors." ”
Lu Yao looked back at this ancestral shrine, it was indeed a little tattered, the tiles above his head were leaking in many places, and the wisps of sunlight were spilling through the leaking places, and he could see a little dust flying in the pillar of light.
The wood on the threshold outside is also rotten and missing, and the plaster painted on the wall is also mottled and peeled off.
In the past, Xiasha Village had no money, and everyone was powerless, but now it is time to look at the surrounding villages, especially Shangsha Village, which has made a lot of money with the rise of tourism and wharves.
Not only did they rebuild the luxurious ancestral shrine, but even the Dragon King Temple and the Mazu Temple were demolished and built a bigger one, which attracts many tourists every year.
Lu Mingyi thought for a while, and said to the two of them with a smile: "Seventh Uncle, Ninth Uncle, what you said is very reasonable, our village must also rebuild the ancestral shrine and the Dragon King Temple." ”
"But you can't pay all the money from the village, you have to raise funds from everyone. After all, this is our Lu family's business, and we can't encroach on the property of the state and the company. ”
The Seventh Uncle and the Ninth Uncle glanced at each other, their eyes flashed, and finally they nodded in unison and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to a few of our old men, and it won't make you embarrassed, but you have to promise us that this ancestral shrine must be repaired." ”
Lu Mingyi smiled and said, "Seventh Uncle, Ninth Uncle, if you two can't trust those people outside, you can let Minggui take charge of this matter." He himself is doing this business, and he is our Lu family, so he will definitely do it with his heart. ”
The Lu family in Xiasha Village was the same ancestor back then, so no matter who the family is, as long as the surname Lu is a few generations up, it is all a relative, and the tablet will enter an ancestral hall after death.
Therefore, even in order not to be exposed to the wind and rain in a hundred years, Lu Minggui will rebuild the ancestral shrine with his heart.
The seventh uncle couldn't help but smile and said: "Your proposal is good, the ancestral temple still needs to be built by your own family to appear sincere, and it is also strong, you see that this ancestral temple has a history of more than 100 years, and it was built by my uncle at the beginning." ”
After speaking, he paused, "This matter will be talked about after the New Year, now that everyone is scattered, let's go back for the New Year." The days are getting better and better, and this person must learn to be grateful. ”
As he spoke, he walked towards his house with his back on his back and a little staggering steps.
Looking at his uncle, who was already in his eighties, Lu Mingyi sighed with emotion, these older generations have all suffered countless hardships along the way, and they naturally feel the deepest.
Unlike the current younger generation, from birth to the present, at most they have not enjoyed much happiness, and there is absolutely no such thing as enduring hardship.
After Lu Yao and the others crackled and set off the firecrackers they brought, in the smoke of gunpowder, they sprinkled the cup containing liquor on the table on the ground and saluted the ancestors, and then packed up the tribute and carried it back.
On the way, Lu Yao told Lu's father what he heard, and Lu's father couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "This is the way it should be, when the time comes, you take more money out and repair the ancestral shrine, and then our family's face will also be beautiful, and after waiting, we will also have an explanation to the ancestors." ”
