Li Feng was really on business today, so he didn't waste much time. He hurried out without even taking a bite of breakfast. This year, due to the heavy snowfall, many people in the village had to go out to work and were unable to return. This year's ancestor worship fell to Li Feng, the biggest of the junior generation.
Up. Speaking of ancestor worship, it has just been started in the past few years. Ancestor worship has been around since the second master was a child. It is said that it has not been discontinued for several generations. It was only interrupted for many years after the 1960s, until someone proposed it a few years ago.
Every family in a village pools some money and this matter is raised. The reason is that simple ancestor worship is mostly proposed by young people, and young people don't care about this small amount of money. This matter falls to Li Feng's generation.
This year, Li Feng is the eldest in the family, so Li Feng must bring up this matter. Li Can and others had already gone to collect the money, and Uncle Six had prepared it years ago.
However, there were yellow paper, firecrackers, etc. Li Feng was a little confused as to why there were still a few strips of Laolongtan cigarettes and several large packages of candies. Li Feng originally thought there were only eighty knives of yellow paper, ghost coins, firecrackers, and sky-shattering thunder.
, but at first glance, it was clear that there were a lot of things, and the whole thing was very messy. Li Feng thought that only adults were going there, and did not expect women and children to go there together, so Li Feng touched Li Can.
"What's going on? Why do you have to go through every village?" Li Feng was quite puzzled. Li Can blinked. "It's been like this for the past few years. If you ask me, I don't know. It's been like this since the beginning."
While talking, Li Feng found that several children of his own family had come running over. Originally, Li Feng thought that women and children should not come together. He did not let the children come over. Now Li Shan brought them over. Li Feng took a look at the women and children in the village. The men in the family
When not at home, there are women and children.
Walking on the snow-covered mountain road, a group of children were holding bids, gold and silver mountains, and women were holding bamboo poles and rubber boots of the same color. These things made Li Feng look at Li Can.
This guy definitely made a lot of money this year. He really bought a lot of these rubber boots. The hilltop where the ancestral grave is located is not far from Lijiagang. After all, the people of Lijiagang lived next to Likouzi in the past.
Li Feng found out in the past that this ancestor worship service was really simple. A few cigarettes were provided for each family. After paying the money, Li Feng's family contributed two pieces of money. Li Feng and Li Shan each had a pack of cigarettes. As for candies, Li Feng thought
It was used for worshiping ancestors. Who knew that in the end, the firecrackers were scattered among the women and children, and the babies screamed and squeezed in to grab them. These were milk candies and hard fruit candies. Children usually don't like to eat them very much.
, I didn’t expect that this would be a great rush.
The biggest firecracker carried by Li Feng was lit, and candies were scattered all over the sky. Along with the firecrackers, the sound of thunder, the laughter of women, the scramble of children, and the noise. Candies were scattered everywhere in the heavy snow.
, a little baby is busy looking for candies in the snow, scattered into snow caves or bushes.
It’s not necessarily that the child loves to eat, but he does like the excitement. The burning yellow paper, the ghost coins, and the mountains of gold and silver. The women talked and laughed, the men smoked and talked, and Li Feng and a group of young people set off firecrackers.
Finally, of course, the older generation brought a group of women and children to pay homage to their ancestors.
I needed to kowtow, but it was snowing so heavily. I thought the children would pay their last respects. The ancestors would definitely not make things difficult for the children. After all, in these days, people don’t talk as much as they did in the past, and there are fewer taboos about what they say and do.
.Although many customs still exist in the mountains, most of them are simple and simple.
If the weather is good this year, there may be a lot more etiquette and rules for the second master's generation coming over. Most of the people coming here this time will join in the fun. Li Feng estimates that most of the children and women will come here for the candy. This
He said, Li Feng didn't know very well, and everyone couldn't explain it. They just knew that eating this candy must be beneficial, but no one asked why.
Li Feng looked at the children happily looking for candies hidden in the snow caves blown up by firecrackers. It was a fun idea, and most of the children were willing to come because of this. Li Feng couldn't help but sigh that whoever used this candy to attract children was really talented.
"Baby, what's wrong? Come out quickly." Li Feng had almost finished his work, and there were still many people at home, so he went back to entertain them.
"Dad, baby, wuwuwu, the baby can't walk anymore." Li Feng was stunned. Thinking about it, it's normal for him to be stuck in such deep snow. "Uncle, Mengmeng can't get out either." Not only the baby, but also Mengmeng.
This girl Meng was deeply trapped, and Li Feng pulled the two children out of the snow one by one like radishes.
"Don't run around next time. What if there is no one?" Li Feng patted the snowflakes on the two little guys. Qi Qi and Ling Dang helped, but Ling Dang and Qi Qi didn't mess around. "Ling Dang, Qi Qi.
, you two will keep an eye on the babies and Mengmeng from now on. If they disobey, tell daddy, and daddy will spank their little butts." Li Feng patted the little girl's buttocks with some force, and the two little girls pursed their lips.
"Go, follow grandpa home quickly." Li Feng still has something to do, so the children have to go back with their father first. Li Feng, Li Can, Li Changlin, Li Xu, Li Xiang, the second child, and a few more
The child originally had the ancestor case, but unfortunately it has disappeared long ago. It was removed in the 1960s.
Nowadays, it is much easier to just make one in the ancestral hall, because there are not many people with the names of ancestors on it, and the genealogy says that everyone is not sure which branch they are, so in the end, only the painting table of the first ancestor is returned.
It is said to be a case, but it is just a piece of something like a nave, with a larger pattern in the middle. These are the ancestor cases. There is an ancestor's name and a couplet below. The color is a bit yellow and it is some years old. It is estimated that it is more than ten years. Li Feng has a
The sacrifices prepared by everyone were placed, and a few young people kowtowed and burned yellow paper and ghost coins without being too particular about their words.
After all, young people are young and well-informed. At that time, they were no longer as particular as the ancients. In fact, they couldn't be more particular. Several young people really didn't understand such rules. Li Feng just burned them casually and couldn't understand anything at all.
Uncle Liu was still prepared. Li Feng just followed the instructions, ancestors bless him, the big guy said the last thing.
"Okay, everyone, let's get up and go back home first. Xiaocan, please keep it for a while." The money will be calculated this time. There can't be any leftover money. There is no refund money. This money can't be messed up.
Flowers.
"Calculate whether you have enough money, and I can make up for it." Li Feng, as the leader and initiator, there is no benefit in saying something unpleasant. In the end, the money was spent on the margin, and I still have to make up for it. Li Can added up, and clicked
He nodded. "That's not necessary. Look, there are still more than 200 left. What do you want to do?"
"What should we do? You can move a few more boxes of Zhentian Lei and put them by the ancestral hall." Li Changlin said casually without walking, and Li Feng nodded. This is really how it can be done.
"Okay, Chang Lin, let's take a trip, and we'll talk about it after we move here." After several people spent all the money, Li Feng also added dozens of dollars. Whoever contributed the money was better, and Li Feng didn't know what to say.
After a while, firecrackers and thunderous thunder attracted many children to watch. Li Feng worked hard for an hour or two and finally finished the ancestor worship. There were no elderly people participating in these, so there was nothing to say. Li Fengshu
With a sigh of relief, this matter was finally completed. Although it could not be said to be a complete success, there were no mistakes at all.
"Xiaobao, you're back." Neither Lin Ying's parents nor Liu Lan's parents could leave. There were quite a lot of snowflakes outside and it was too dangerous to drive. The Li Feng family persuaded them. Finally, Lin Ying and Liu Lan persuaded the two families.
The weather was fine. Finally, I looked at the snow outside. There was always a traffic jam on the expressway. Li Feng was a little lucky that he was back. Otherwise, he would have been stuck in traffic for several days and would not have to worry about food and drink. However, he would have problems with diarrhea and keeping warm.
If we don’t talk about these problems, it would be very annoying not being able to go home to celebrate the New Year.
"Uncle, sit down quickly. Why doesn't Lin Ying play cards with uncle and aunt? There are mahjong and poker at home." There is not much entertainment during the Spring Festival in the mountain village every year. Originally, there were lion and dragon games to send blessings to each family.
, but with the heavy snowfall this year, no one really comes in the mountains.
"Haha, this is not about playing chess with your Uncle Liu, Xiao Li, sit down quickly." Lin Guozhou didn't like playing mahjong very much, and neither did Liu Lan's father. The two of them liked playing chess more, and Lin's mother liked the piano very much.
They are teaching the baby, Mengmeng, Lingdang, and Qiqi to play the piano.
Li Feng shook his head and played by himself. This was not just the village people playing mahjong. Li Feng sat down and poured some tea for Father Lin and Father Liu.
"Xiaobao, I heard Xiaoying say that you are going to worship your ancestors." Lin Guozhou and Liu Huan were very interested in this, and Li Feng smiled.
"Yes, worshiping ancestors is not the same as before. It has been noisy all day long. Now it is simple for a while. Many of the rules are gone. It is much simpler. In just one or two hours, the work is done." Li Feng couldn't help but sigh as he said it.
Things stopped for a few decades, which is probably harmful to cultural inheritance. For the rest of their lives, people don't understand or half understand these rules. Needless to say, Li Feng and his third generation, although most of them are third generations.
We were making a lot of noise and worshiping our ancestors. But in the end we didn’t understand any of the rules. We only burned paper and put bubbles in it, and it was a lively and lively affair. Finally, everyone laughed and everyone came back.
"Alas, we don't have many people worshiping our ancestors now, at least you all still go there." Liu Huan belongs to the second generation of urbanites. His parents were from the countryside before. When he was a child, he went to worship his ancestors, but now he doesn't see them when he goes back to celebrate the New Year.
Someone is doing this again. How many years have passed since the policies of leveling and moving graves, many people are still confused about whether they are connected to their ancestors' graves. Let alone worshiping their ancestors, it has finally been settled.
"Society has progressed, the pace of life is fast, and everyone has little patience. Xiaobao, it's great that you can have such an activity here." Lin Guozhou couldn't help but sigh. After all, young people nowadays don't have the same awe as the older generation for these things.
It’s a good thing if you don’t forget to offer sacrifices every year.
