Chapter 348
Time walks, and in a blink of an eye, there are only 2 or 3 days left before the Spring Festival.
Qingshui Village has long been dressed up in joy, and even the eight members of the Dawang family, as well as Jessica, and Parrot Colorful have worn a red satin with a bow around their necks.
The Spring Festival couplets and blessing words were pasted at the door of every house, and the house was cleaned inside and out, and the home was cleaned up.
The young people who had been working in other places came back and brought back new clothes and shoes to their parents and children.
On the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Xie ancestral hall in Qingshui Village was opened.
Ninety-five percent of the villagers in Qingshui Village are surnamed Xie, and the ancestral hall of the Xie family has been built for many years, retaining the habit of worshipping ancestors every year.
For the people of this Shimizu village, ancestor worship is also the most important thing at the end of the year, every household will prepare chickens, ducks and fish, prepare all kinds of biscuits, sweets, fruits and so on to worship ancestors.
Under the leadership of Xie Sheng, the Xie family also brought things to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.
Xie Ning and Qin Jun also came along.
Originally, according to the rules, if Xie Ning was a foreign daughter, she was not used to worship her ancestors.
But they came, because when Xie Ning and Qin Jun got married.
Qin Jun moved his hukou to Shaining's hukou, and Shaining was the head of the household, so to speak, it was equivalent to being rich.
This was what Qin Jun asked at the beginning, he liked Qingshui Village too much and liked the Xie family, so he wanted to join the Xie family, which was a very good thing for him.
Perhaps, for some men, it is a very humiliating thing to get rich, and they feel that it is only a man who has no ability to do it.
But Qin Jun didn't think so.
He felt that it was his luck to join the Xie family, marry Xie Ning, and become a family with the Xie family.
So, Xie Ning and Qin Jun also came to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.
As for Huanhuan and Mengmeng, the two little ones are too young, so they stay at home to accompany Grandpa Xie.
The ancestral hall of the Xie family was also very lively this afternoon, and every household came to worship their ancestors one after another.
And every family member of the Xie family who is worshipping their ancestors tells their ancestors about the changes in Qingshui Village today.
They want to tell their ancestors that this Qingshui Village is getting better and better now, and it will be better in the future.
It will also make the ancestors bless the Shainin family, because all these changes are brought by Shainin.
After the ancestor worship was completed, the reunion dinner that belonged to the Chinese New Year's Eve also began.
Under the leadership of Xie's mother, the Xie family made a large table of delicacies and made hot pot.
Xie Xiang's family also came back a few days ago, and they also went to worship their ancestors together, and now they also get together for a reunion dinner.
This is the most lively day of the year for the Xie family.
Everyone put on new clothes, and the two children who couldn't speak and even couldn't sit also wore big red clothes and dressed up as "big red envelopes", which was very festive and cute.
At the reunion dinner table, Grandpa Xie is the oldest elder.
He picked up his wine, glanced around everyone in the room, his eyes were full of relief and joy, and said, "This year is coming to an end, and a new year is coming. This year is the year of the biggest change in our Qingshui Village, and it is also the year of the biggest change for each of us."
He paused and continued: "Xie Sheng, Xie Xiang, you two husbands and wives are the backbone of the two families, filial piety to your parents, and the children you raise are so good, you are all good."
Xie Sheng and Xie Xiang glanced at each other, their faces were happy and embarrassed to be recognized.
"Ah Yuan, Ah Qian, Ah Zhou, you all have your own families, especially Ah Yuan and Ah Zhou, who are also about to welcome your children, thank you and hope that you will be harmonious in the future, have more children, and live better and better."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Xie Yuan and Xie Zhou, the couple, thanked each other.
"As for Ah Qian, you can handle your marriage by yourself, and grandpa hopes to hear good news from you in the coming year."
Somehow, Xie Qian suddenly remembered Bai Zhitong, who had returned to the city to reunite with his parents, and seemed to have made up his mind faintly, and after reacting, he said to Grandpa Xie, "Grandpa, I will."
"Ahh Grandpa Xie was very happy to agree.
"And Lingling, grandpa wishes you to be admitted to your ideal university next year."
Xie Ling nodded hurriedly and responded, "I will, grandpa, I have confidence, and you have to believe me."
"Ah, okay." In the end, Grandpa Xie's eyes fell on Xie Ning and Qin Jun.
And the eyes of the others also fell on their little couple.
"Finally, grandpa has one person to thank, and that is Ning Ning......
"Grandpa......" Xie Ning was just about to say something, but Grandpa Xie waved his hand to stop what she was going to say next.
"This year, the changes in our Qingshui Village, the changes of everyone, are brought by Ningning."
"Ning Ning, grandpa wants to thank you, thank you for helping Qingshui Village, thank you for helping your family, maybe grandpa didn't see many, many people......
"Ning Ning, grandpa is very proud of you, you have a good heart, good character, principles and bottom lines, and a heart to love and help others. It's nice and wonderful for you to be grandpa's proudest child!" Grandpa Xie said, with tears faintly shining in his eyes, and gave Xie Ning a thumbs up.
The rest of the Xie family also nodded, they agreed with Grandpa Xie's words.
And Shaining, a smile also appeared on the corner of her lips, she didn't speak, but said silently in her heart: But grandpa, I can become such a good Shaining, also because I grew up in the Xie family. Because there is such a good Xie family, there is also such a good Shaining. In fact, people achieve each other and become a better version of themselves.
Grandpa Xie also looked at Qin Jun, and Qin Jun immediately straightened his back.
"This year, Qin Jun also joined our family, although you are young, you are a good one, and grandpa also sees responsibility and responsibility in you. You and Ning Ning also brought us the Xie family such two good babies, Huanhuan and Mengmeng. Thank you, Grandpa."
"By the way, there are also circles and mengmeng, my grandfather, I also hope that they will be safe, healthy, and happy in the future."
"In short, I hope that our Qingshui Village will get better and better in the new year, and I hope that each of us will get better and better in the future."
"Come, let's toast together, to the future, but also to a better self."
"Okay, raise your glass."
"Raise your glass."
Everyone raised their glasses in agreement, with a smile in their eyes and infinite hope for the future.
"Come, come, eat hot pot, you can eat whatever you like."
"Yes, everyone eat and drink well."
At the same time, in Qingshui Village, every family is eating a reunion dinner, telling about the beauty of the year, and looking forward to a better future......
