Chapter 266 Ritual
This bet is not too big, but it is not too small either!
It’s about a man’s dignity, well, and a woman’s chastity!
No one knew what Lin Hao was thinking, but Lin Shitian did not dare to neglect at all. As soon as Liu Sisi and others walked away arrogantly, he quickly took out his mobile phone.
Lin Hao asked: "Brother Shi Tian, who are you calling?"
Lin Shitian said anxiously: "Who else can I give it to? Of course it is to your sister-in-law. Let her take leave as soon as possible and come back to help."
Lin Hao shook his head and said: "No, there is no need to trouble my sister-in-law!"
When Lin Shitian saw that he still acted as if nothing had happened, he jumped even more anxiously, "Lin Hao, it's not that I look down on you. What Liu Sisi said just now is right. If you want people but no one, and you want money but no money, how can you worship your ancestors?"
What? Do you know how many things are needed for the ceremony, including poultry and livestock, incense paper, oil candles, and asking for help... There are so many things that you can't even count them. They, the three surnames of Yan Fan and Wu, all started preparing last night.
Yes, there are only three hours left now, how can you win?"
Lin Hao said calmly: "Brother Shi Tian, I will take care of these things. You don't have to worry about it. You only need to do one thing!"
Lin Shitian hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"
Lin Hao said: "Go to Uncle Lin, and together with him call all the Lin clan members you can, as many as you can. Can you do it?"
Lin Shitian said: "Of course it can be done, but..."
Lin Hao interrupted him and said, "That's enough. You go find Uncle Lin. I'll go to the ancestral hall first!"
Seeing Lin Hao leaving without looking back, Lin Shitian was still a little hesitant and worried. He really didn't want to see Lin Hao kneel down and kowtow to that woman Liu Sisi, so even though he was very uncertain, he still hurried there.
Lin Guoping's family.
Although Lin Guoping was still sitting in a wheelchair, his mind was completely clear. He heard that Lin Hao wanted to worship his ancestors, and also made such a bet with Liu Sisi. It was related to the face of the entire Lin family. How could he dare to neglect, so he quickly asked his daughter-in-law
Aunt Chun called her son Lin Sanchun to come back. At the same time, she tremblingly held up her mobile phone and dialed the number, notifying the Lin family members in Yangcheng and nearby cities one by one, asking them to make time to come back to participate in ancestor worship.
In order to give them more motivation to rush back to Shikeng Village, Lin Shitian sacrificed his money and asked them all to take taxis. The round-trip fare was not only reimbursed, but also food and accommodation were arranged, and each person could even receive a two thousand yuan when they returned.
red envelope.
While the phone was being dialed nervously, there was a sudden sound of firecrackers on the other end. Lin Shitian and Lin Guoping ignored it at first, thinking that it was firecrackers set off by the other three surnames when they were sweeping tombs and worshiping their ancestors. But strangely, that
The sound of firecrackers is endless as soon as it sounds.
Yes, it lasted for half an hour without any stagnation. At the same time, there was also the sound of gongs and drums.
Everyone went out to take a look and found that the sky was filled with smoke rising above the Lin Ancestral Hall, and it was still rising.
Lin Shitian was puzzled. When he saw that all possible phone calls had been made and everyone who could be notified had been notified, he hurried to Lin's Ancestral Hall.
Before he even reached the ancestral hall, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
In the open space beside the pond beside the ancestral hall, long firecrackers were scattered sparsely. Some people were stepping forward to light them one by one. Some people were unloading the firecrackers from a small truck, folding them, and lining them up farther away.
.
Amidst the deafening sound, gunpowder smoke filled the entire Lin's Ancestral Hall, but you could still vaguely see that there seemed to be many people inside. As he got closer, Lin Shicai could see clearly that there were twenty or thirty people parked around the Lin's Ancestral Hall.
There are cars of all sizes, and inside and outside the ancestral hall, there are countless men wearing black T-shirts and jeans busy, roughly estimated to be hundreds of people.
Some people were busy organizing and cleaning the ancestral hall, removing the old and dilapidated altar tables, replacing them with brand new ones, and placing incense burners. Festive lanterns were also hung on the walls, and the couplets were replaced with new ones...
Some people were busy setting up a scaffolding for weddings outside the ancestral hall. Under the scaffolding, people were constantly lifting new tables and chairs from trucks and placing them on top for the banquet.
Some people were slaughtering poultry in a corner on the side of the ancestral hall. Three cows, five pigs, seven sheep, and nearly a dozen cages of chickens, ducks and geese were lined up to be slaughtered there.
Some people set up large pots and stoves on the other side of the ancestral hall, and several middle-aged women nearby were washing and preparing various ingredients.
Some people were beating gongs and drums at the gate of the ancestral hall...
Looking at the unprecedented lively scene in front of him, Lin Shizhen was really confused. He had no idea where Lin Hao found so many people and where he got so many things.
From when Lin Hao came to find him, to when he came to find Lin Guoping, and finally when he came to the ancestral hall, it took less than an hour in total, but he managed to create such a big scene.
Mamma Mia, where does this kid get so much energy?
In fact, Lin Hao is indeed what Liu Sisi said. Apart from treating people, he really doesn't have any special abilities. But as long as he knows this skill, it is enough.
Among the patients he treated, there was a woman named Xia Yuner!
Who is Xia Yuner? I believe no introduction is needed!
Not only is she rich and well-connected, but she is also capable of doing things in Yangcheng.
Lin Hao didn't do anything, he just called her and said he wanted to hold a ceremony and asked her to help!
Xia Yun'er didn't want to help at first, because Lin Hao's tone on the phone was not asking her, but ordering her, which made her feel very unhappy. However, after hanging up the phone, she remembered Lin Hao's somewhat anxious tone on the phone.
Somehow, he asked his assistant to hurry up and do this, and he must do it well.
Immediately afterwards, the companies under the Xia Group sent out people one after another. First, No. 120 people from the security company rushed to Shikeng Village, then the restaurant chain sent out teams and facilities for the wedding banquet, and then the farmers and breeding farms
Live poultry and livestock were delivered, and the housekeeping company also sent some professional maids...
It’s easier to farm when there are more people, and it’s easier to celebrate the New Year when there are fewer people. With so many people doing things, not to mention one ritual, ten rituals can be done in one day.
Therefore, in just over an hour, an extremely decent, grand, and lively ceremony venue was completely decorated.
At this time, Liu Sisi had followed Fan Tong and the others to visit the tombs in Lantian Village and came back. She saw gongs, drums, and firecrackers blasting at the Lin Ancestral Hall. There were also so many people, and there were countless people standing outside to watch, and it was very lively.
Seeing the noisy scene, I suddenly felt a bad feeling in my heart. I quickly stepped forward and asked the person next to me, "What's going on?"
"The Lin family is worshiping their ancestors!"
"Yes, I heard that the person in charge is Dr. Xiaolin from the clinic!"
"He took the lead, he didn't pay for it alone, right? For such a big scene, asking so many people to help would cost hundreds of thousands at least!"
"I don't know, anyway, I just saw him being the only one directing the arrangements!"
"I think it was Dr. Xiaolin who did it. Hey, what did he just say when he came out? What kind of incense was he burning?"
"He said that no matter whether they are local or out of town, as long as they live in Shikeng Village and Lantian Village, all villagers can go to have a banquet."
"Do you want money? I won't go if you want money!"
"I just said that for no money, as long as they go in and burn a stick of incense for their ancestor Lin Qinggong, they can eat as much meat as they want and drink as much wine as they want, that's enough!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's hurry in and burn incense!"
"Yes, yes, I just saw those people bringing boxes of foreign wine and baskets of abalones down!"
"..."
When Liu Sisi first saw such a scene in Lin's Ancestral Hall, she already had a somewhat bad premonition. Now when she heard everyone talking like this, her head suddenly buzzed and she couldn't hear anything. The only thing she could hear was one voice,
And it has echoes: kneel and lick, kneel and lick, kneel and lick...
As she listened, she suddenly felt in a trance, her vision began to turn black, and her head began to spin.
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law!" Fan Tong saw that she was crumbling, so he quickly supported her and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Liu Sisi struggled to stand firm and said without tears, "I... feel a little dizzy..."
The other clan members surnamed Fan who also gathered to watch looked at the Lin Ancestral Hall in front of them, and then at Liu Sisi, with complex and strange expressions on their faces.
Judging from the situation in front of us, the ceremony held by Lin Hao was undoubtedly unprecedented, not only surpassing that of Wu and even Yan, but also far exceeding it.
In other words, the bet between Liu Sisi and Lin Hao was completely lost!
Thinking of her fate of losing, everyone turned their attention to Fan Tong, their eyes full of sympathy, because they seemed to have seen an invisible cuckold firmly covering his head.
When Liu Sisi was being supported by Fan Tong to sway home, Lin Hao had already gone back and changed into a solemn black suit at Lin Shitian's request. At this moment, he was standing in the corner of the main hall of the ancestral hall to greet the clan surnamed Lin.
arrival.
At about 12 o'clock at noon, Lin Guoping and some of the Lin clan members who had moved from Shikeng Village came to the ancestral hall. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were not only happy, but also excited, because this was the scene of dozens of people.
This is the biggest feast hosted by the Lin clan in years.
With the singing of the emcee, the ceremony officially began.
A long string of firecrackers went off outside, and the Lin family members came forward in order of eldest and youngest to kowtow and offer incense.
Although the notice was rushed, many people from the Lin clan came. Perhaps everyone thought it was worth spending a few hours to earn 2,000 yuan in red envelopes! However, all the people who came were from Yangcheng and the cities surrounding Yangcheng.
Some are too far away, and some have no contact information.
After Lin Hao finished offering incense, Lin Guoping took a group of Lin elders and motioned him to go to the side hall of the ancestral hall to talk.
Looking at the concerned eyes of the old people, Lin Hao knew that Lin Guoping had already told them about his affairs, and some of these old people even took his calls in person!
After meeting Li one by one and identifying the uncle and the uncle, Lin Hao took off the jade pendant from his neck and showed them to them.
The result undoubtedly disappointed Lin Hao. None of the old men present recognized the jade pendant.
The reason why he wanted to make the ceremony so grand was not only because of the bet with Liu Sisi, but also the more important reason was that he wanted to invite the Lin clan, hoping that they would think of something when they saw him or this jade pendant.
Or provide some clues.
However, whether it was because of the feast organized by Lin Hao or because Lin Hao was a member of the Lin family, all the old people present expressed their opinions that they would do their best to help him find his relatives.
At half past twelve o'clock, the banquet finally officially started, and the heavy rain that had been brewing had already begun. The heavy raindrops made everything bang and bang, like a homeless woman meeting a macho man, venting desperately.
With.
The scaffolding was sturdily built and the tight canvas on it was waterproof, so the banquet was not affected.
Lin Hao saw that everyone was seated, including Liang Daniu and He Xinxin, so he toasted with a round of wine, then sat next to Wu Ruolan, picked up a bowl of rice and prepared to fight.
He hadn't even eaten breakfast. He had been busy all morning and was already very hungry! But before he could reach his chopsticks onto the bowl of prawns, Yan Su's anxious voice came from outside the scaffolding, "
Chapter completed!
