Chapter 378: Erect a monument and put food for three days
Wang Defa's purpose of using the Wang family ancestral hall to gain fame and fortune has been achieved, all this is just as destined, Wang Defa is very satisfied that he can do this.
The next thing is to choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, open the ancestral hall, and welcome the ancestors into this newly built courtyard.
The days are when Wang Defa went to find the second child to be optimistic.
"Second brother, my brother has something, I want to ask you." Wang Defa took the opportunity to consult Ma Xiu'e about the thorny questions given to him.
"What's the matter, brother?"
"Your sister-in-law asked me a question when I started to repair the ancestral hall for the Wang family, saying that she could enter the ancestral hall in the future, and I also consulted with several elders of the Wang family, women can enter the ancestral hall, but now there is a question, you said that now your sister-in-law, who has no son and half daughter with me, can enter the ancestral hall, which stumped me."
"I understand, I understand, it stands to reason that the women who can enter the ancestral hall are all for the women who have continued the incense, and those who remarry are not qualified to enter in principle, but one thing is that it is man-made! Whose ancestors know who is doing, people are doing it, the ancestors are watching, as long as it is a reasonable thing, you can do it, you think the current sister-in-law should enter the ancestral hall, then you can enter, you think you should not enter, then do not enter, how to do it, it is right. ”
"Well, just like the advice given to me by the Wang family, in the end, I can only make my own choice. Okay, on the day the ancestral hall is opened, you must come! ”
"Okay, I'll go that day."
"You're busy, I'm leaving."
Wang Defa came out of the second child's house, turned his head and went towards his master's house. He wanted to call back all the heirs who the Wang family could call back on the day when the ancestral hall was officially erected and consecrated, so that he could only hold another meeting of the whole family.
The Wang family is a big generation, when he was repairing the ancestral hall, he didn't make any effort, such a big thing made Wang Defa do it, and now Wang Defa let him do anything, everyone will follow him, and they will do anything.
"The ancestral hall has been completed, and the town will be given food for three days!"
Someone in the crowd shouted a word, waking everyone up, including Wang Defa.
Everyone's attention was focused on allowing the ancestral hall to complete the ceremonies smoothly as soon as possible, but they forgot all about the meal.
Wang Defa has the impression that when he was a child, what he looked forward to most was that someone from a well-to-do family would have a meal, and he would be able to eat a full meal for a few days and taste the taste of meat. Generally speaking, such a major event as the ancestral hall should indeed be given to the town, and there will always be people who add some popularity to the ancestral hall in order to eat a few meals.
Wang Defa looked at his master, the eldest in the audience, hoping that he could say something.
The crowd was still shouting, until the little master of the Wang family pretended to cough, and the shouting gradually stopped.
"I don't know who proposed to put the meal just now, but I think that this idea is very good, and it is also our Wang family's negligence in this matter, it is indeed necessary to put food for everyone, such a big thing, not only for our Wang family itself, if we can use our ancestral hall to enhance the reputation and prestige of our Wang family in the town, then this thing should be done."
The old man agreed.
Wang Defa, who single-handedly ran the ancestral hall, looked at the elders sitting in front of him, and didn't know what to say, if he had three meals a day, three meals a day, and if there was meat at the meal, it would be a lot of money, and some people had little money left for the money they had left, and if he spoke at this time, everyone would definitely pin their hopes on him.
Wang Defa quickly calculated in his mind, how much money would it cost to put food for three days, if it was solid meat and vegetables, Xiao Wan would definitely have to take out the money.
"If you want to have dinner, it's fine." Wang Defa said while the crowd was quieter.
"I think everyone's idea is good, our Wang family can't be too cheap, let's invite the old folks in the town to have a few meals for our ancestors. When the ancestral hall was repaired, I had already announced the cost to everyone, and there was indeed not much left, and I roughly calculated that it was a small amount of money for three days, which was not a small amount. First of all, I said, I didn't think about it, if I think about it in advance, you can save some of the money you can save, so be it, each family according to their own situation, how much can they donate, and the rest, I Wang Defa will bear it all, how about it? Wang Defa said.
Wang Defa's words made everyone present a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, then we'll look at the donation!" Someone took the lead in saying.
"There is no limit to how much, I will bear the rest, but if you want to talk about it in front, let's not invite the master to cook, the woman of the Wang family, the kitchen work is good, and you have to do more for three days to eat!"
After the crowd dispersed, Wang Defa counted the money donated by everyone, and it was less than a thousand yuan, and Wang Defa had nothing to say.
Three days of monument opening time, the Wang family ancestral hall is definitely the hottest topic in the town, the blowing class has not stopped from morning to night, as soon as the meal arrives, I know, I don't know, the Wang family, not the Wang family, very lively.
In the small ancestral hall, there are crowds of people, and the sound of laughter is endless.
Wang Defa and a few of his elders are busy entertaining everyone every day, and they all put gold on their faces, especially Wang Defa, who will go to the tablet in the center of the courtyard to introduce them when they meet people, and the names are in front, Guisheng, Jackie Chan, Lai Di, and Yuting let him straighten his waist in front of everyone.
In the end, after Wang Defa reviewed all the things that started from the ancestral hall, he found that the fly in the ointment was that the cost of the meal was seriously exceeded, and even Wang Defa himself didn't expect that he could eat almost 9,000 yuan for three meals a day.
When Wang Defa told everyone about this, everyone smiled and said, don't talk about the Wang family, when people with foreign surnames heard that the ancestral hall had been open for three days, the kitchen at home had not been on fire for three days, and they brought a family of all ages to the ancestral hall to eat.
The matter of the ancestral hall, a major event in Wang Defa's heart, is finally settled, Wang Defa, who is already in his twilight years, has no regrets in his heart, the children have their own things to do, and the days are no longer as bitter as before, if God asks him to close his glasses tomorrow and pass away, he has nothing to regret.
But after all, he is old, Wang Defa calls Ma Xiu'e every once in a while to ask Ma Xiu'e to come back from the city, his wife and wife are old companions, and there is no one around him who can speak, and now it is Wang Defa's biggest problem. He thought that if Ma Xiu'e didn't come back for a while, he was going to move to the ancestral hall to go to the door.
