Mrs. Baoyin cried out "Daddy" and broke down in tears.
When Le Jian Le and Kang Lefu saw their grandmother kneeling down, they walked behind the old lady with their daughter-in-law and also knelt down to salute the grandma's shrine.
The seven old people knelt down, and their children and grandchildren naturally followed the old people's example. In the blink of an eye, a group of people knelt on the ground like dumplings.
When the aunt broke off her hand, Le's father Zhou Qiufeng didn't understand what the aunt wanted to do. He was shocked when he saw the aunt kneeling down in front of the altar, and also saw the children and grandchildren of the aunt's family kneeling on the ground.
The couple wanted to help their eldest aunt, but they were pulled by their little cotton-padded jacket. They didn't understand why the little aunt wouldn't let them help them, and they couldn't ask.
Le Yun stopped the two elders from helping her aunt and grandma, took out a handful of incense from the desk drawer, went to the kitchen to light it, and handed each of the incense sticks to her eldest aunt, uncles, cousins, nephews/grandchildren.

She knelt down again and reported to her great-grandfather in person: "Great-great-grandfather, my great-granddaughter Leyun has lived up to your last wish and found my lost eldest aunt. Today, my great-aunt brought some of her children and grandchildren back to Meicun to recognize their ancestors.
Although my aunt suffered a disaster when she was young and was separated from her relatives, perhaps the Dele family ancestors were lucky enough to be rescued by noble people when their lives were hanging by a thread. Since then, most of their lives have been smooth, happily married, and full of children and grandchildren.
Five generations live under one roof. Grandpa, you still have spirit in heaven, and you can rest in peace."
After saying a few words briefly, Le Yun helped her aunt and said, "Auntie, please offer incense to your great-grandfather. My great-grandpa has been waiting for this incense stick for a long time."
"Yes." Old Mrs. Baoyin cried with a heavy nasal voice and responded, leaning on the incense and kowtowing three times. Then she stood up with support and inserted the incense into the incense burner on the desk.
She offered incense and stood aside to let her sons and daughters-in-law offer incense to her grandfather and the ancestors of her family.
Le Jian Le, Kang Lefu and their respective wives offered incense in pairs, and then stood next to their grandmother.
The people of the Yun generation finished offering incense and stood to one side. The people of the Shu generation brought their three children to offer incense and stood beside the elders.
Mrs. Baoyin wiped away her tears and asked the younger generation to kneel down and kowtow to the ancestors of the maternal ancestors' family and their deceased uncles, aunts, great-uncles, great-aunts and great-aunts.
After the children and grandchildren had made a grand ceremony, they went to get two chairs and put them in front of the case. They asked the nephews, nieces and daughters-in-law to sit down, and asked the grandchildren to recognize their cousins and aunts.
Because he represented his mother's family, Le's father Zhou Qiufeng received gifts from the younger generations of his aunt's family.
Le Yun didn't want the younger members of her aunt's family to kowtow to her, but she was the head of the Le family and represented the Le family, so she had no choice but to endure the gift for her younger brother.
When the younger generation saluted, the siblings turned away half of their bodies and only received half of the salute.
Old Mrs. Baoyin and her son performed a grand ceremony in front of the ancestral shrine of her mother's family, which completed the basic ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan.
Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, helped her aunt sit on the Arhat couch, greeted her cousins and cousins to sit down, and went to fetch hot water for her and cousins to wash their faces and hands.
The young people did not dare to bother their seniors, so they went to get towels from under the eaves, washed their faces under the tap outside, and then went back to sit in the house.
With the help of Mr. Le Xiao’s classmates and handymen Yan Shuaiguo and Lan Shuaiguo, they made tea and served fruit snacks.
On the way back to Jiudao, at noon, the helicopter stopped briefly around a county town to find a place to have lunch. I was not hungry, as I only had fruits and snacks.
They had already acknowledged their marriage, and it was natural for them to sit and talk. After talking for a long time, Mrs. Baoyin took her sons to put their luggage.
Classmate Le let Lan San and Handsome Yan live in Mr. Li's bedroom, and let Grandma live in her bedroom on the first floor. The others were arranged by themselves.
There are two rooms on the second floor of the south building and three rooms on the first floor. There are three rooms on the second floor of the north building and one room on the first floor. Twenty-nine people in the Le family can live in nine rooms, which is more than enough.
Le Yunduo and Le Shuqiong were responsible for taking care of the old grandmother and lived in a bedroom with the old grandmother. The rest of the group lived in three or two, men and women separately. They quickly divided into groups and packed their luggage into the guest room.
After sorting out their personal luggage, the young people sorted out the gifts they carried and gave them to their little cousin.
The air in Meicun is fresh and the style is different from that of the grassland. It is the first time for Mrs. Baoyin and her son and daughter-in-law to come to the southern countryside and they are very curious.
They didn't care about the hard work of traveling, and after the grandniece/niece finished arranging household chores, they took her for a ride.
The two eldest generations were in a good mood, so the younger generations naturally followed them for a walk and went to the fields to see the rice fields in the south.
The three little guys, Chaoyang, Chaoyue and Chaoxing, have only known each other for a short period of time, and they have become Leshan's little followers. They obey Leshan's words and are so well-behaved that their elders don't need to worry about taking care of them.
When the air scooter belonging to the Lejia girl returned to Plum Village, many people saw it. When the Lejia girl accompanied a large group of people to walk around the fields, she was seen by more villagers who were farming in the fields.
The villagers who didn't know the identity of Lejia's visitor were also curious.
The Zhou family, Zhang Laosan, Liu Chengli and the five families knew that a grandmother from the Le family would come back during the Qingming Festival to sweep the grave of Le Yuan, the old man of the Le family. When someone asked them, they did not hide it.
The news that the eldest aunt of the Le family came back to look for her relatives spread among the villagers.
On the first day when the eldest aunt and grandma returned to her parents' home, Xiao Le didn't invite anyone to accompany her. She had a family dinner on her own in the evening, and invited Grandpa and Grandma Man at noon the next day.
Her grandfather and Grandpa Man are brothers who worshiped the incense, and Grandpa Man and Grandma Man are half of the natal family.
Village Chief Zhou went to the village committee in the morning to have a meal, and listened to the village committee meeting on strengthening forest fire protection during the Qingming Festival. He returned to the village from the village committee without being rushed by the little boy, and arrived at Lejia early.
Old Mrs. Baoyin knew that Village Chief Zhou was her brother's Anda, so she and her children were polite and close to the two elders of the Zhou family. In the afternoon, they were invited to sit for a while at Village Chief Zhou's house.
In the evening, classmate Le Xiao invited Grandma Zhou, Aunt Papipa, the two old brothers of the Cheng family, Grandpa Zhang San, Grandpa Liu Qi and Grandma Liu Qi to the Le family to drink with the eldest aunt and grandma.
Unfortunately, Mongolians have a good drinking capacity, so the guests she invited were a bit light on wine and drank them all.
When dinner was over, none of the invited guests could be found, so Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, sent them back one by one.
Although Le Jian and others had a good drinking capacity, they could not resist the good wine at their maternal grandfather's house. After the banquet, they felt the energy came back and hurriedly crawled to sleep, thus avoiding any embarrassment on the spot.
The Le family's aunt came back to sweep the tomb. When they went to the mountains during the Qingming Festival, the Zhou family did not go with the Le family, so they set off first.
Before having breakfast, classmate Le put the dishes for the mountain sacrifice on the steamer. After breakfast, he packed the prepared supplies and carried them up the mountain in a basket.
Le Jian Le Kang Le Fu, who went back to his maternal ancestral home for the first time to pay homage to his ancestors, asked his children to carry things on their backs or on their backs. After their niece gave them acupuncture, they became so strong that they could climb hills without help.<
/p>
When they arrived at the cemetery, Le Yunkai and his brothers and sisters cleaned the graves. The Le family went to the mountain to worship every Qingming Festival and New Year's Eve. There were no weeds around the graves.
Le Yunkai and his brothers and sisters took their children and nephews to dig some new soil in other places, added soil to the graves of their maternal ancestors, then laid out the sacrifices, offered incense and burned paper.
Old Mrs. Baoyin, along with her children and grandchildren, burned paper for her late father, toasted three times with wine, and cried while hugging the tombstone. Although she did not have many memories of her childhood, the snippets she remembered from the past few years could also infer that her father was
I love myself very much.
Father and daughter were separated for nearly a century, but when there was news, they were separated forever.
In search of her, her father went through life and death several times, but she never paid a single day of filial piety to him. Instead, he still missed her until his death.
She found her roots and wanted to support her father, but the son wanted to support her but refused to give him any love.
A small number of precious childhood memories lingered in her mind. Old Mrs. Baoyin knelt down beside the grave, holding on to the tombstone where her father's voice and appearance could not be seen, only his name.
Le's father is also a soft-hearted person. When his eldest aunt cries, he can't help but cry with her.
Zhou Qiufeng, Le Jian and others couldn't persuade him at all.
Old Mrs. Baoyin and Le's father cried for a while, comforting and exhorting each other. The aunt and nephew hugged each other and cried.
Others couldn't persuade her, so Leyun sent her younger brother to take action.
Leshan squeezed in between her eldest aunt and her father, and persuaded her in a childish voice: "Auntie, dad, don't cry anymore. Today my aunt and grandma brought all the children to see my great grandpa. I don't know how happy I am that my great grandpa has a spirit underground.
If you keep crying like this, my great-grandfather will be sad."
"Okay, my aunt is not sad anymore." My father's two little grandchildren are both very smart and good children. It is a good thing that my father's incense will continue to be passed down!
Mrs. Baoyin choked and wiped her tears. She got up with the support of her niece and granddaughter, wiped her tears with a towel again, and took the children to worship at the tombs of her younger brother, sister-in-law, and her younger sister, who only had a tomb.
She has never seen either her sister or her brother.
She also suffered a lot when she was young. She didn't know whether her sister was alive or dead, and her brother died young. Although she was unfortunate, she was the luckiest. She was still alive. She found her roots while she was still alive, and she also met her relatives.
Even though she wanted to endure it, Mrs. Baoyin still couldn't help herself and cried again in front of her sister's and brother's graves.
Le Jian and his brothers offered incense to their aunt whose whereabouts were unknown, and also offered incense to their cousin Le Ya. The children of the Yun and Shu generations were the younger generation, and kowtowed to Le Ya's cousin/aunt and grandmother.
After paying homage to their deceased relatives, everyone packed up their belongings and went down the mountain.
Old Mrs. Baoyin was in a depressed mood, and she didn't get better even after returning to her nephew's house.
Le Xiaoxiao had no choice but to make tea for her aunt and grandma. After lunch, she took her aunt and grandma to make kites with her brother and three little children.
After flying a kite in the wild for a long time, Mrs. Baoyin's depressed mood was blown away by the wind, and her mood turned from gloomy to sunny.
Old Mrs. Baoyin took her children to the mountains to visit their graves, stayed at Lejia for a day, and returned to Province M on Sunday. Some of them also had jobs and took a few days off in order to return to their maternal ancestral home to recognize their ancestors.
