Time is very different. It was approaching the New Year's Eve. Su Jiu stayed at his grandfather's house for a few days and soon ushered in the most important day in China, the New Year's Eve, also commonly known as the Chinese New Year.
On this day, lanterns and colorful decorations are decorated, which is full of Chinese New Year flavor.
The Su Family Courtyard also started to become lively two days ago.
Compared with previous years, the Su Family Courtyard is much more lively this year. Not only Su Jiu's family of three, but also various relatives of the Su family gather together in the Su Family Courtyard to prepare New Year's goods and cook New Year's dishes.
Those who clean, those who post couplets and hang lanterns.
What a lively place.
The old man made a promise a few days ago that during the New Year this year, anyone who still recognizes him will come to the Su family compound to celebrate the New Year, because the Su family will worship their ancestors on the first day of the new year.
When the news spread, it was a big event for the entire village and even the entire town.
Why, although the Su family is usually not arrogant, the prestige accumulated by Mr. Su over the past few decades has actually been deeply rooted in the hearts of the older generation.
The Su family has kept a low profile for so many years. Everyone thought that the Su family was in decline. However, after learning the news, the glorious moments of the Su family in the hearts of the older generation reappeared in their memories.
But this time, the status of Su Jiu's family of three in the Su family compound has also become different.
Compared with what I thought, it is completely two levels, not on the same level at all.
"Yin Hong, let me come, you go and have a rest, you don't need to be busy here!" When the eldest aunt saw Su Jiu's mother preparing to wash vegetables, she hurriedly ran over, took the vegetable basket in her hand, and said very politely.
"Yin Hong, go and sit down. It's enough that we are in the kitchen. You don't need to worry about it here."
"Yin Hong, come over and play cards. It happens that three are short of one!"
"Come on, brother-in-law, I'll hang the lantern!"
"..."
Su Jiu looked at everything in front of her and couldn't help but sigh, this person, even if he is a relative, is sometimes very realistic.
Su Jiu knew the reason for all these changes. Everyone knew that the Su family was going to worship their ancestors this time.
Relatives of the Su family are different from ordinary people. After all, the Su family is a Feng Shui family and they know more or less about it. At the same time, they believe in some customs in the countryside. The old man's decision also made everyone understand that the Su family will definitely not have any problems in the future.
If it is so simple, it will definitely become more developed.
Just look at Zhao Dekun and you will know that he just learned a little bit from the old man and lived a prosperous life. It is said that this time, the little guy Su Jiu completely inherited the old man's skills. It can be seen from this that he will definitely not be successful in the future.
question.
Although these things are not spoken out loud, everyone understands them in their hearts.
"Xiao Jiu, grandpa asked you to go to his study." Yin Tiancheng trotted over, confusing Su Jiu's thoughts.
"Oh, I got it, cousin!" Su Jiu agreed lightly, and now even her cousin's attitude towards her had changed a lot, and he was completely different.
"Xiao Jiu, I heard that the car at the door cost more than 7 million, is it true?" Yin Tiancheng asked cautiously. Although he said that he recognized the logo of the car, it was a Rolls-Royce. But, in person, reality
I saw this car in China. It was the first time. I checked it online and found that the quoted price was more than 7 million, but I still couldn’t believe it.
My cousin can actually afford such a luxury car, which costs more than 7 million yuan, not more than 700 yuan.
At the beginning, when I knew this information, I had already praised my mother very much in my heart. She was still wise and treated her cousin well. At that time, I was not very romantic. I didn't expect that now, my cousin would actually
So awesome.
"Well, Brother Tiancheng, what does grandpa want from me?" Su Jiu didn't care about his cousin's question. It was no secret that he spent seven million to buy a luxury car for his old man.
With my character, as soon as I arrived at the Su family compound, I took the key and then naturally showed it off everywhere.
Seeing this, Su Jiu was speechless.
What Su Jiu was confused about was what did grandpa want to do with him at this time?
He still had to go to the study. Generally, few people entered Grandpa's study. Even he himself rarely entered. The older generation had the habits of the older generation, so Su Jiu didn't mind anything.
Today is New Year's Eve, but the old man stayed in the study for a whole day with Luo Zhonghai. Su Jiu had long been confused about this.
"I don't know, Xiaojiu, you are so awesome. If you want to buy a car with millions of dollars, you can buy it. If I had so much money, I would definitely buy a house first. A car is a consumable and will lose value. If it does not maintain its value, the house will appreciate in value."
Space. Let me tell you! Seven million is enough to buy a large finely decorated suite in the provincial capital, two to three hundred square meters..."
"Yeah, brother Tiancheng, I'm going to grandpa's place first, let's talk later." Su Jiu was thoughtful, interrupted Yin Tiancheng's nagging, said something, and walked directly towards the study.
"Hey! Xiaojiu..."
…
After bypassing the main room and entering several halls, Su Jiu entered grandpa's study. Grandpa and Luo Zhonghai were both there.
"Xiaojiu, you're here!" the old man said with a smile.
"Grandpa, what's going on?" Su Jiu asked.
"How's it going? Have you finished writing the memorial text? Have you mastered the process of ancestor worship?"
When Su Jiu heard his grandfather speak, he immediately knew what was going on.
"Everything is ready!"
The process of the ancestor worship ceremony is very complicated. It is the first time for Su Jiu to perform such a ceremony. The old man is concerned. This is a normal phenomenon.
"Boy from the Su family, do you want my help when the time comes? With your cultivation, it will be very laborious to ask the gods!" Luo Zhonghai looked at Su Jiu with a teasing look on his face and said.
"Senior Luo, don't worry, I am still confident in this aspect, so I don't need you to worry about it."
Su Jiu declined politely. If I asked you to help me with the ancestor worship, wouldn't that be a loss of grandpa's face? I knew very well that this time my grandpa asked me to preside over the sacrificial ceremony, but he had high expectations.
If you can't even accomplish this, then there really is no need to mess around.
When he saw Luo Zhonghai's appearance, he just wanted to make a fool of himself.
After all, you are also a senior. Why are you always struggling with a junior like yourself? You are not afraid of losing your senior style.
Su Jiu muttered in her heart, of course she couldn't say these words.
"That's good." The old man said with a smile.
Inviting the gods is the most important part of the entire ancestor worship. Folk ancestor worship does not have this link, but in Feng Shui families, the ancestors worshiped are the gods, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, the gods of the four directions, and the eight directions.
.
These are the differences between true ancestor worship.
Different from ordinary ancestor worship in rural areas, it is not just a matter of placing three animals, burning some incense and paper money, but the whole process is actually extremely cumbersome.
After coming out of the study, Su Jiu began to consider these things in her mind.
The Su family had a lively New Year's Eve.
Full of flavor.
It has been many years since the Su family compound has been so lively.
We had dinner together, set off some fireworks, and celebrated the New Year. The year has passed.
It’s a new year and a new beginning.
Su Jiu was not idle. The calls came one after another, and the text messages kept coming. Anyone who has stepped into the society knows that during the New Year and holidays, the phone calls and text messages are as if they are free of charge.
The phone calls are okay, only the people with the closest relationship will call, but the text messages can't be read at all. No matter whether they are familiar with each other or not, as long as the other party has your number in their mobile phone, a group message and a pattern, this year
That's it.
At this moment, Su Jiu was like this. Text messages from classmates and friends kept ringing, but Su Jiu didn't have time to pay attention to them, because at this moment, Su Jiu was on the phone with Fang Yuwen.
"Xiao Jiujiu! Happy New Year! Am I the first person to wish you a Happy New Year in advance?" Fang Yuwen's voice sounded crisply on the phone.
"Of course, Xiaoyu is of course the first, even if he is not the first, he must be the first!"
Su Jiurao was interested in talking on the phone with Fang Yuwen, talking about unnutritious topics.
The two had originally agreed to go to school together after the Lantern Festival.
Fang Yuwen University is also in Nan Province, a medical university in Shashi, not far from Hunan City. Su Jiu is at Xiangda University in Hunan City. The two are actually very close, and they originally planned to go to school together, but
, Su Jiu had to leave early because of the Chinese Metaphysics Exchange Meeting.
Therefore, I struggled to explain it on the phone.
After hanging up the phone from Fang Yuwen, Su Jiu hadn't put the phone into her pocket when the ringtone started ringing again.
Take out your phone and take a look.
"Master Fu's phone number?" Su Jiu was confused. She naturally remembered who Master Fu was. He was the executive vice president of the Chinese Metaphysical Society. Why was he calling him at this time?
Su Jiu was immediately confused, but she still answered the phone.
"Hey, Master Fu! Happy New Year! I was about to call you, but I didn't expect you to call me in person. This is really my fault."
Su Jiu laughed and said hello. Master Fu Linfu is a senior, so it was natural for Su Jiu to have something to say in this situation.
"Come on! You kid, I've been calling for nearly an hour and still can't get through. Have you called your girlfriend? Don't use these words to fool me." Fu Lin also opened Su Jiu's car for a rare occasion.
Joking aside, it's obvious that on New Year's Eve, everyone is in a very happy mood.
"Haha! Master Fu, you are joking." Su Jiu smiled sarcastically. Unexpectedly, Master Fu actually started joking with him.
"Okay, I'm not going to laugh at you anymore, let me tell you something."
"Say it!" Seeing Master Fu becoming serious, Su Jiu knew that business was coming. With Master Fu's status, it was impossible to call the junior at this time.
"It's like this, Su Jiu, on February 19th next year, a Chinese metaphysics exchange meeting will be held in Sh City. When the time comes, you can come and participate, and I will introduce you to the meeting." Fu Lin's voice came from the phone.
"Join the membership? Oh, okay, Su Jiu will definitely come when the time comes."
