Chapter 106: Incense
In front of my dad's "standard statue", there is an incense burner, which is particularly small and exquisite. This is my dad bought it back from a business trip, I flipped through it, and then I didn't know what to do, it turned out that he came here, and he used it himself. There is incense ash in the incense burner, which means that there is incense burning on it all the time, but there is no incense inserted at this time.
Yan Jiji smiled, "People say, 'Just burn incense, don't make offerings - tease the Buddha', who are you teasing if you don't burn incense on the light? Is there any incense?"
An Lingyan hurriedly said, "Yes." Then he turned around and picked up a piece of incense from the windowsill of a window between the house and the balcony, and handed it to Yan Ji.
Yan Jiji took out three of them, lit them with a lighter, held them in his hand, and bowed three times to my father's portrait, "The deceased is the greatest, my brother bows to you." Brother Hardworking, I think my brother is worthy of you, you get a lot of benefits and benefits from me, you are like a mirror, I borrowed you, and you also took advantage.
"From ancient times to the present, this road has been earned by the masters, and it shouldn't be, that unlucky girl, when you taste the sweetness, you don't want to let go, I said that you won't go much in the future, now I understand.
"Okay, she also deserves it, but she pities Lan Lan, she has no maternal love, I found her a second mother today, I think Old Sister An is okay, she can take care of Lan Lan, at least she won't be hurt in her heart.
"Eighty percent of you arranged it all more than ten years ago. You are an honest man and a wise man, may you be in the spirit of heaven, protect your children, your blood and bones, protect your friends, and lovers. Later, I found out that you kid is quite flowery, a lot of leaders. It's better than that lyricist Liu Yong and Liu Sanchang, but Liu Yong is slightly inferior to you, what is he? They are all prostitutes/girls, they can be recruited with money, they are not worth mentioning, which is like you, all of them are simple and simple with you, who made you handsome and honest?"
Speaking of this, Yan Jiji turned his head and asked An Lingyan, "Is it an old girl?"
An Lingyan's face flushed slightly, "It's mainly the latter." โ
"Who is the latter? A person's character, if you don't beat a few back and forth, you can't evaluate it, but the person's appearance can be seen at a glance, and when you see a beautiful man comparable to Zou Ji, do you dare to say that you are not moved?"
An Lingyan smiled embarrassedly, "I was young at that time, and I didn't know the world, if I were to choose it now, I would definitely choose an ugly one." โ
"Why?" asked Yan Ji, tilting his neck.
"You look good-looking, others also look good-looking, how many people reach out to fight for it? It's better to find an ugly one and live a simple life. What are you looking for? Isn't it just to get by! If you want to find a good-looking one, you imagine that he is, yes -- none of these male stars are handsome now!"
After hearing this, Yan Jiji laughed, "Last year, a film crew came to us to shoot a TV series, I went to visit them, let's call it 'Visiting Class', I regard a scene record as the male lead, and the director said, 'Who uses a handsome guy now?, a handsome guy is only worthy of being a scene note!'"
Let's laugh together.
"Let's laugh in front of the deceased, my brother won't blame, he will be happy to see us happy. Because only when we reach his realm can we know how difficult it is for us to live. Like me, I have been a deputy for more than 20 years, and โกโกโกโกโกโก have come and gone, but I don't have our share. There are few city-level cadres in our city who are not 'exchanged' and promoted. Just me, the old guard of the countryside. Last year, the organization minister came to talk to me and wanted to exchange me to the people's congress of city B, and I said that I am old, and the organization minister said, or you will go to the CPPCC of city D. I said, I'm sick, I'm not going anywhere, I have mountains and rivers in Shigong Mountain, and I have a house and land here. I don't want to get involved in the enterprise or the money; second, when I am promoted at the bureau or department level, there is no need to ask for my opinion. Knowing how to protect one's self, but seeking no fault, at this time the third kind. โโ
"Uncle, mention my dad, didn't you mention it?"
"A small section-level cadre, my dignified deputy secretary doesn't count, that's too much, right? The county secretaries and county magistrates have money. "Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver", who is waiting to see Xiaopo Section Chief? You ask your father, do you give me a penny? Come to my house during the Chinese New Year, at most bring two pots of flowers, and I have to eat and drink for him, hey, old and honest, am I right?" said Yan Ji to my father's portrait.
"You're right. โ
"Look, honest people tell the truth, right?"
Yan Luji was suddenly stunned, perhaps he realized that the portrait was speaking unusually.
An Lingyan was also very surprised.
I'm the only one who thinks it doesn't matter, it's just that their ghosts are attached to the statue at this time: borrow the image to say a word, what's this?
Yan Luji looked at the two of us, and then turned back to the portrait and said, "I can see it, you are an old worker, who are you most proud of, you didn't go to other people's homes, you just went to Sister An's place, you were born, you are not married, this time you are dead, no one is in the way of you, just marry Sister An." โ
"Big Brother ......"
"What's the matter? You still don't want to be there?"
"I still have Green Green and Lan Lan......
Marrying a dead man is called a yin marriage. It is said that a person who marries in a yin marriage will not live long before she has to die, An Lingyan is afraid that she will die because of this, leaving Lulu with no one to take care of, and Lan Lan.
An Lingyan regards taking care of Lan Lan as her own responsibility.
When Yan Jiji heard this, his eyes were a little red, he put the three incense sticks in his hand in the incense burner, turned around and shouted into the house, "Lanlan, green and green!"
When the two little girls heard him shout, they came out with their shoes on.
"Come, kowtow to your second father!"
The two little girls were also surprised. When my dad was alive, they didn't call me the second dad, so why did they call my dad the second dad this time?
But, after all, my dad has become a posthumous statue standing there, not like calling An Lingyan the second mother, she is standing in front of her alive.
Secretary Yan retreated sideways, went to the small window sill, took out six incense sticks, gave Lan Lan three sticks, three green sticks, pushed the two of them forward to the offering table, and saw me at a glance, "You are the boss, in front." โ
Then he took out three sticks of incense and gave them to me, and he touched the lighter and lit all the incense sticks of our house. I took three sticks of incense, walked sideways in front of them, stood up, and said, "Kneel!", I knelt down first, and Lan Lan and Lu Lu also knelt down behind.
"Bow down!"
After I finished speaking, I first kowtowed, and then said, "Prostrate again." It is completely the standard of Manchu worship in the movie.
Lan Lan and Lulu kowtow to me.
After the three prostrations were completed, I stood up first, put the three incense sticks in my hand in the incense burner, and dodged away, letting Lan Lan and Lu Lu go to the incense.
