Chapter 697: Ancestor Worship

After sending Qu Jiacheng, Gao Mingyuan, and the cadres of Qingshangou Township away, Jiang Fuhai and others helped send tables, chairs and other items back to each family.

Then he arranged for everyone in the Xu family to stay.

Xu Chenghou and Xu Shiquan lived in the east house, and Xu Shixian led his daughter-in-law and children to live in the west house.

Xu Shi'an's brothers each took their daughters-in-law and children to live in other families in Shijiagou.

It is more convenient to live separately, after all, although each family has enough places to live, there may not be so many bedding.

The children played during the day and slept late, and this night was a good night's sleep.

It's that when I wake up in the morning, I have a few mosquito bags on my body.

This is also normal, there are many mountains and forests on this side of Shijiagou, and there must be many mosquitoes.

Xu Shiyan saw that the children were scratching painfully and itchy, so he asked them to quickly wash their faces, and after washing their faces, they applied medicine.

In the past, there were very few people with a basin at home at this end of Shijiagou.

In front of the door is a small river ditch, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, as soon as you go out and squat by the river, you can wash your face.

Now that the days are better, there is a basin at home, but it is still rarely used.

According to Hu Chunhua's instructions, the children all squatted on the edge of the small river ditch and picked up two handfuls of water to wash their faces.

The water in the ditch is clear and cold, and after washing your face, you will be sober and extremely comfortable.

When the children finished washing their faces, Xu Shiyan found the ointment and applied it to them.

Not to mention, after the ointment is applied, it is cool and cool, and it doesn't itch much.

The children were skinned, and they didn't care about that, and they were playing around in the garden.

Breakfast was eaten at Xu Shiquan's side. After eating, Xu Shixian and a few people went to the township store and bought some incense, burning paper and other items.

Everyone took their things, followed the path of Xu Haibo and their way up the mountain yesterday, turned south, and came to the ancestral tomb of the Xu family.

There are several generations of the Xu family buried here, Xu Shiquan's parents are currently at the bottom, and Xu Chenghou's parents are in a row above.

It is not the same as the customs in Donggang, the tombs here are very small, and the small tombs are very inconspicuous.

There was no monument in front of the tomb, and there was nothing but a tomb gate made of three stones.

Xu Shixian and they were puzzled, so they quietly asked Zhou Guilan next week, and heard Zhou Guilan say that this is such a custom here.

Xu Chenghou led his children and grandchildren to his parents' graves, placed offerings, lit incense and burned paper.

In front of the other graves, there are also some burning papers.

The old man was still muttering words in his mouth.

It's nothing more than asking my parents for forgiveness, he hasn't been able to come back all these years.

Then, let the sons come forward and introduce them one by one, as for the grandchildren, they are not minors, so don't go forward.

"Father, Mom, I have come back to see you with my son and grandson.

The old Xu family is really good in this generation.

The son was confused and lost his family business, so he had to leave his hometown and go to Fusong.

It's a good way to break out, and the children also have jobs and futures.

Parents know underground, so they will bless the children with prosperity and prosperity, and they will have a future of prosperity. ”

Xu Chenghou said as he fiddled with the pile of burning paper with a stick.

Most of the burned paper in these years is still the kind of thick straw paper, and the smoke is quite large.

may have smoked it, Xu Chenghou's eyes were a little red, so he raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes.

When Xu Shixian and the others saw this, they hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xu Chenghou to stand up.

Then he took the stick in Xu Chenghou's hand and fiddled with the pile of burning paper little by little, so that the burning paper could be fully burned.

When all the paper is burned and turns to black ash, use a stick to remove it to make sure that no sparks are left.

Although the vegetation is abundant in July, it is generally not easy to catch fire, so you have to be careful in case something happens.

"Come on, kowtow to your grandparents."

Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan were in front, Xu Shixian brothers led their respective daughters-in-law in the second row, and Xu Jinfeng and Xu Haibo led their younger brothers and sisters to kneel in the third row.

Kowtowed to the ancestors of the Xu family three times before getting up.

Xu Chenghou spilled the wine in front of the grave, and Zhou Guilan also dismantled all the offerings, which is what it means.

The ancestor worship ceremony is not that complicated, and it is over here.

Xu Chenghou muttered a few more words, and then walked back with his children and grandchildren.

There is also a small grave on the way, where Xu Chenghou's first daughter-in-law is buried.

He died at a young age and couldn't enter the ancestral grave, so he was buried outside.

Xu Chenghou stepped forward to burn some paper, and he didn't say anything, just quietly watched the paper burned, Xu Shixian and they came over to salute, and everyone went down the mountain together.

After going to the grave to worship the ancestors, the purpose of this trip to the hometown has been achieved, and it is said that there is no thought, and it is time to go back.

What Cheng thought, before he could leave, Qu Jiacheng and Gao Mingyuan came in a hurry again.

"Uncle Xu, Brother Xu, that, you must go to the county today.

Dandong called just now, and someone will be arranged to pick it up.

The leader said, no matter what you say today, you can't be let go like this. ”

It turned out that these two people drank a lot last night and woke up late this morning.

After breakfast, Qu Jiacheng thought about it, so he called the city and talked to the leader.

As a result, when the city leaders heard this, they immediately said that they must leave people behind Qu Jiacheng, and they would arrange for someone to come and pick them up.

You must know that last winter, a lot of seafood was imported from Dandong, and the price was not low.

Those fishermen who went out to sea took the money and had a good year.

I heard that Xu Shiyan was here, so the leaders of the relevant departments were not allowed to invite Xu Shiyan to sit down and have a meal or something?

If nothing else, if you can buy another batch of seafood this winter, won't you be able to make another profit?

So let Qu Jiacheng and them over there, be sure to leave Xu Shiyan and his party behind, and don't let them go directly if they say anything.

Qu Jiacheng and others received the task arranged by the leader, so what else do they say? Hurry up and drive over just in time.

Xu Shiyan and his entourage originally planned to say goodbye to Xu Shiquan and them, and then go to Qingshan Lake to have a look.

Take a walk around and go to Huanren for a night in the evening.

Get up early tomorrow and go back to Tonghua, and then go to Yuhuang Mountain to have a look, and you will be home the day after tomorrow.

Who would have thought that before they could leave, Qu Jiacheng and the others came back again, and said that the city would come to pick them up.

Xu Shiyan was also very helpless, and when he came out this time, no one was alarmed when he said that it was a bird, but he didn't hide from anyone.

"Big brother, how many days off have you all taken? Is it okay to go back late?

Why don't you go back first? How many more days will I stay here with my parents? ”

It's easy to say otherwise, the key is that Xu Shixian and Xu Shixiang are both borrowing the unit's car, how can it be said that they are delayed outside for too long?

"I took four days off." Xu Shixian glanced at each other and said.

July 15th is Saturday, and there is no weekend in this year, only Sunday off.

So they all took Saturday, and Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, for a total of four days.

Originally, I thought that adding Sunday would be a total of five days, and it would be quite easy to play on the road back and forth.

But no one expected that these situations would be encountered.

If you go to Dandong again, then you may not go back one day, how can this work?

The holiday can be extended, this car is not good, the unit's car, how can it be driven out for several days without going back?
