Chapter 160: New Year's Day
There were bear children being beaten in the bazaar, and there were also leather children being beaten in the village.
Not to mention not beating children during the New Year, this is less than twenty-nine years old.
On the twenty-ninth day of the year, I first went to the ancestral tomb to worship and send pocket money to the ancestors; In the Chinese New Year's Eve, the ancestral hall was opened, and the men of all branches gathered in the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.
In the past two days to the fifth day of the first lunar month, I don't want to beat and scold children, but also talk auspicious words to make a good stove, and adults are so busy that they hit the back of their heads with their heels.
For example, women cannot participate in ancestor worship ceremonies, but it does not mean that they do nothing, they have their own rituals, that is, preparations.
Not everyone can meddle in this work, such as the wine cups, chopsticks and dishes used in the sacrifice were not washed by Aunt Cai, but by Liu and his two daughters-in-law.
The Liu family is busier than the two daughters-in-law, and before the age of twenty-nine, they have to prepare the mutton, pork, chicken, and fish for ancestor worship early.
At the same time, no matter which household in the village is the most lively in the stove room, because from the first day of the first month to the fifth day of the first month, the fire is not turned on and the stove is not moved, and meals must be prepared.
It took two days of hard work to prepare.
From the beginning of the twenty-ninth day of the year, the Gu family and the Zhou family were all in good shape, changed the door gods, couplets, new peach charms, and pasted window flowers.
I don't dare to be Gu Erzhu's two sons, or Thursday Shun's two sons, now that they are either separated or passed by, they want to have a good year.
Waiting for the front yard and backyard of the family, each window is pasted with window flowers, full of joy, and then send pocket money to the ancestors, and then it will be the Chinese New Year's Eve.
The sound of firecrackers is saying goodbye, and Chinese New Year's Eve has finally arrived.
On this day, not only the old Gu family, but also the old Zhou family, the head of the family has not yet opened the ancestral hall, and when the bell rings, he will take his son and grandson and other men to the ancestral hall.
If you don't wait until the firecrackers are set off to open the ancestral hall, the fun will be great, and the name of an unfilial descendant will at least wait until it looks like whether you can escape on this day of the year.
If you are unlucky, you will be hung on the lips of the clan all your life, and whoever is whom, even Chinese New Year's Eve, opened the ancestral hall and let the ancestors wait for him.
Thursday Shun this year's New Year, the advantages of the succession will come immediately.
He and Zhou Xiucai are now in the same room.
Zhou Xiucai's only son and daughter-in-law were afraid that the two of them would not know how to make outsiders laugh, so they reminded him of everything and informed him of everything, and arranged it properly as soon as possible.
And Gu Erzhu knew that he liked to put on a shelf, and he had to wait for the bell to ring before going out every year, so he went to say hello in advance this year.
The father is here, even if the family is separated, it is also unfilial for him to dare to leave Lao Tzu as a son and only take his son and grandson straight to the ancestral hall.
Therefore, before noon, he took his son and grandson to the old courtyard to wait, and then the old man Gu led the team, and even the grandson went to the ancestral hall in an orderly manner from the oldest to the smallest.
Gu Wenxuan thought it was very funny, and he let Da Lang be in front of the family after they were divided, but it didn't take long for him to find out that the old man was really not just partial.
When the patriarch presided over and all the men gave incense to their ancestors in batches, when they arrived at the long house, that is, his great-grandfather, Gu Dalang had to be in front of his eldest brother.
It's not because Gu Dalang is the eldest grandson, the "Wen" generation of his great-grandfather is not yet Gu Dalang's turn, and the eldest grandson of the big house and the second room is at least one year older than Gu Dalang.
The sacrifice is over.
Because Gu Sanzhu and Gu Laosi have not moved out of the old courtyard, which is different from Xiaonian, Old Man Gu said two days in advance this time that they will have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together this year.
During the Chinese New Year, Gu Erzhu didn't dare to provoke him, so he proposed to eat early.
Looking back, the old man didn't dare to do it, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he also nodded when Mrs. Gu agreed to eat it early.
A large family gathered again in the hall of the upper room of the old courtyard.
Good dish.
Liu is not stingy.
Brought a table of seats.
Then Gu Laosi added half a fan of mutton, two chickens and ten catties of white noodles, Gu Laosan added a few fish, five catties of pork, and the six tables were full of tables.
Gu Erzhu found that his family was a little out of place with everyone, probably because of the separation, but it didn't affect the atmosphere.
The family didn't eat much, but it was also a three-round wine and a five-flavor dish.
It has never been the first time to open the table, and it can be regarded as a meal for more than an hour before the time of Shen.
When I got home, I continued the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
This time the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is completely different, chatting and laughing while eating, it seems that there is no rule, but it is very pleasant.
Keep the year.
Happy again.
When Gu Erzhu slapped his thigh and hummed a joke, Gu Wenxuan sang along, and Ma Shan immediately took his son's small drum and beat the drum to cheer up.
Liu also came to Yaxing, handed Gu Erlang a flute, and asked Zhou Banxia to come over with the qin, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took turns to play the piano, and Gu Erzhu danced the sword.
Xiao Changsuo was so happy that his little hands were about to turn red, and the family was playing without sleepiness until Uncle Cai came to shout that they could set off firecrackers, only to know that it was about to come.
Ate dumplings.
At dawn, there were still people who had to go out to go around the whole village to pay New Year's greetings, Gu Erzhu hurriedly announced that they would go back to their rooms to rest, and they would all get him up when the time came.
He is still very majestic as a grandfather, Xiao Changsuo immediately glanced at his little aunt when he heard this, and closed his eyes first when he was held in his arms by his father Gu Erlang.
When I entered the east wing, I giggled, and when I got to the kang, I didn't forget what my little aunt secretly told him, there were a lot of good things under the small pillow.
Wow~
There are a lot of red envelopes, a lot of red boxes, Daddy, I have a lot of gifts, what my aunt said is true.
No less, indeed.
Where can a small pillow cover it?
The children's uncles and aunts alone are afraid that the New Year's money for the eldest nephew will be less, and it is a red envelope, a red purse, and a red gift box.
And, very careful, for fear that the child would not know what to put in his mouth when he was young, and the red purse was sewn.
Ma Shan didn't know what was in the purse, so she only heard Zhou Banxia say that she would put the child under the pillow for a night, and it looked like silver melon seeds when she touched it.
After all, two days ago, she also saw Sanya come back from the city to exchange a box of copper coins and a bag of silver melon seeds, saying that she had just gotten married, and the gifts she received were not thin.
Like the grandchildren of Uncle Yun's family, no matter whether they will bring their children to visit the New Year in the first month, her young family will definitely go to the New Year, and they will not be able to give copper coins.
There are also a few children of Zhou Xiucai's family, if the Zhao family brings their children to the door in the first month, anyway, prepare more red envelopes for relatives to leave for the New Year.
"This brother and sister."
Gu Erlang shook his head and smiled, "Atmospheric, filial piety, and very rare, I often think about your sister-in-law, for fear that you will suffer."
She is purely for her own little couple.
I was worried that you would see it prepared for the family, and I was afraid that you would also prepare it, so I deliberately told you so. ”
"You need to say that." Ma Shan blinked happily, "I already knew that she bought me all the white fungus red dates I eat now." ”
Gu Erlang couldn't help but smile, "It's no worse than my own sister." ”
