Chapter 49: Recognizing the Ancestors and Returning to the Ancestors (II)
Guo Feng knocked his head on the ground heavily, then half-lowered his head, waiting for his grandfather's reply.
Guo Feng's father looked at Guo Feng's demeanor and showed a satisfied smile. He lowered his body and followed what his grandfather said, then got up, looked at everyone's reactions, and said, "Accurate! ”
After a sound of accuracy, Guo Feng got up at his father's signal. After Guo Feng got up, his father followed Guo Feng side by side. Two young men came out from the side and brought two basins of water. Guo Feng fiddled with his father's approach a few times. After this set of procedures was completed, the grandfather in the middle hall also gently knocked the green brick floor twice with his cane, and everyone immediately looked at the grandfather.
"The Guo family, although in recent years, there are few people who have returned to their ancestors and recognized their ancestors. Today, Guo Fei's great-grandson, Guo Ling's second son, has joined the family, which must be a great joy! The old man said a few words slowly, with sadness and joy, which made the Guo clan people present feel the same way.
In recent years, Guo Ling has worked hard in the development of the clan, and has received all of them one by one, providing all aspects of help for the development of the Guo family in Baishui. Now that there is a second son in the clan, I, who is an elder, no matter how I say it, should also express it. After speaking, the old man motioned behind, and a woman appeared next to the old man.
Guo Feng looked at the people around him, and when the woman took the things in her hand, all the clansmen seemed a little uncalm, and even some of them inhaled cool air. Guo Guofeng couldn't help but look carefully at the thing the woman was holding - a silver chain? What's so surprising about this?
Guo Ling was also a little uncalm after seeing the silver chain. After seeing his grandfather's beckoning, he walked forward with Guo Feng and stopped in front of the old man.
"Xiao Feng, come, bring this." The old man got up and put the silver chain on Guo Feng's hand. Guo Feng also found out that this is a bracelet. Before he could say thank you, he asked his grandfather to pull him over and stand beside him.
"You all disperse, let Xiao Feng follow me, and our ancestors and grandchildren have a good chat." After speaking, Grandpa pulled Guo Feng and walked towards the back hall. The clansmen on the side were stunned for a while, and then they "boomed" and began to discuss. Guo Ling was also surrounded by several elders, and kept asking this and that. Guo Ling also had no way to go over, so he had to follow a few elders to play Tai Chi.
When he came to the back hall, his grandfather sent the people around him, sat on the soft chair and looked at Guo Feng, and couldn't help laughing. After his grandfather's operation, Guo Feng was also completely stunned, not knowing what the old man's situation was, and instinctively became vigilant.
"Come, boy, sit here, I'll talk to you." Guo Feng's already uncertain heart also stabilized after hearing Grandpa's words. Guo Feng also observed this grandfather carefully for the first time. The old man's kind face made Guo Feng's guard in his heart let go a lot.
"Your grandfather Guo Fei, when he joined the clan before, he was about the same age as you. I thought there should be no one who would join the clan in the past few years. After receiving a call from your father, Guo Ling, I happily ate two bowls of rice in one meal. I'm still glad for you. Your arrival is also a matter of my heart. The old man took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"Grandpa, what is on your mind? How do you say this? After Guo Feng listened, he also heard the sound outside the strings, and there must be a story related to himself in this.
"Ahem, this, I'm going to ask your father. I gave you that bracelet, you have to protect it, it will be good for you to start a family in the future. After the old man finished speaking, he put down the teacup. He pointed to the plate covered with red silk cloth on the side. "Guo Feng, open the silk and put on the incense."
Guo Feng opened the red silk according to the old man's instructions, and there were three yellow incense sticks in it. Guo Feng remembered his father's instructions: use red candles to light incense. The red candle in front of the spiritual seat lit the incense, and after three bows, the incense was inserted in the tripod, and he leaned over again to knock the ancestors. After the ceremony, Guo Feng got up and retreated to his grandfather's side.
When he returned to Zhongtang, all the clansmen in Zhongtang had dispersed, and only Guo Feng's parents and his parents' friends were waiting for Guo Feng in Zhongtang. Seeing Guo Feng come out by himself, his father hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xiao Feng, are you okay?" What did your grandfather tell you? ”
"Nothing. Dad, Mom, let's go. It's not that Guo Feng doesn't want to say it, but his grandfather told him that the content of today's conversation and the things he explained to Guo Feng should not be done to anyone, not even his parents. Guo Feng also promised again and again. His instinctive vigilance makes him exceptionally obedient to every promise. So, nothing was said either. And according to my grandfather's instructions, I must pretend to be depressed and go back as soon as possible.
"Okay, Xiaofeng, let's go back to your uncle's house first!" Mother looked at Guo Feng with an unhappy look on her face, and she was very distressed. took Guo Feng and followed a few women to Guo Feng's uncle's house.
At night, Guo Feng was lying in his uncle's house, looking at the information on his mobile phone, Guo Feng sighed for a long time.
"I said you kid, your grandfather asked you to pretend, and he didn't let you pretend to be so realistic!" When Guo Feng heard the words, he immediately turned over, looked at his father with a wicked smile, and made a helpless expression.
"Dad, you're here." Helpless to be helpless, but this is his father. Since he was a child, his father has great prestige in Guo Feng's heart. For the attitude of the father, in addition to respect, it is still respect.
"It's okay, we'll go back tomorrow. You don't have to be here all the time pretending to be ignorant. I have met your grandfather, and the old man said that he admires you very much, and hopes that when he celebrates his 100th birthday in the next year, you can come, and I will come down for you. After his father sat down and asked Guo Feng to sit down as well, he said lightly.
"Okay. Dad, is there any story about this silver chain? I see ...... "Well, I can't tell you this until you have the ability." Until then, you just need to protect it. Okay, go to bed early today, go to your house early tomorrow morning to pay New Year's greetings, and we'll go. Before Guo Feng could finish speaking, his father interrupted Guo Feng's words, explained tomorrow's affairs, and left.
Guo Ling, who walked out of the door, looked at the slight moonlight, his eyes were full of arrogance. Looking at the moonlight, Guo Ling thought to himself: Can't you let these old guys give Xiaofeng a problem, the Guo family's generation will rely on Guo Feng to revitalize!
After his father left, Guo Feng thought about his father's words, and didn't understand what his father meant extralytically, but felt that his father had some contradictions with several people in the clan. didn't bother to continue to think about these people's sophistication, Guo Feng's question turned to the news on the mobile phone - Liu Ting had an accident! This is a message from Zhao Kang.
