My plug-in is not that strong

Chapter 182 Please God
When Papa Song brought Song Yu, his grandson, father and daughter, and Qiangba, a total of six people appeared at the door of the house, those relatives were shocked by this powerful plastic surgery.

In previous years, there were only 3 people. Sometimes when the family was busy, Dad Song could go alone. But this year, there are 6 people, and 3 of them are outsiders.

"Hello, uncle!"

Song Yu said hello to the leader of these relatives, he was a few years older than Papa Song.

"Hey, Song Yu is back. Who are these?" Big Bot asked curiously.

Song Yugang wanted to answer, but Dad Song snatched it away.

"Let's go, let's go, I'm not an outsider, I'm here to join in the fun, don't come forward." Father Song replied with a smile

The uncle who walked side by side with Song's father still glanced back, and it happened that the old grandson greeted him warmly, and the uncle immediately understood.

It seems to be in-laws!

I heard that Song Yuan is going to get engaged next year, so he must be the beautiful girl behind.

Good luck!

I don't know when my youngest son will find a wife, he is almost thirty.

When Father Song saw Uncle's behavior, he knew that he was wrong, but it didn't hinder him, and he added by the way: "Song Yu brought it."

Uncle was even more surprised.

Yo!
It seems that the boss's business has come to an end, double happiness!
My brother is not far away from his wish to hold a grandson.

It was already dark at this time, but crowds of people were everywhere on the street, including adults and children.

This is rarely lively on the streets of the village.

The adults, almost all of them men, were wearing coats to keep out the cold and greeted each other. After all, many of them came back only once during the Chinese New Year.

As for the children, some carried a small lantern, and some played with the firecrackers and flowers they bought. Every child was happy.

In the sky, firecrackers and fireworks exploded in turn, reflecting the people greeting each other on the street, making it even more lively.

Some people "invite the gods" to go early, and they have already returned, because the leaders hold three sticks of incense in their hands.

And most of them followed the crowd to the east.

On the way, the Song family gathered 2-3 families of relatives who did not have five generations, and everyone went to invite their common ancestors together.

In fact, for the entire Luohou Village, almost all of them have the surname Song, which means that the ancestors of the first few generations in the family tree should be the same, so most people are rushing to the east.

Song Yu heard from her father that her grandfather still had ancestral halls at that time, but in the same movement, they were completely demolished, but the tradition of "asking the gods" was preserved.

When you get to the road in the east of the village, you will be at the place of 'invoking God'.

To the east of the road is a wheat field, and the wheat is green in midwinter; but the road is a poplar forest, where Song Yu used to look for 'Cicada Monkey' when he was a child.

And as early as a long time ago, this area was full of graves, including the part of the wheat field further east.But it is also the grave of the ancestors a long time ago, and it is a place passed down from generation to generation by memory.

It is precisely because of this that after the cemetery was occupied by wheat fields and poplar groves, people of recent generations were buried in the 'Song's Cemetery', a group of cemeteries located in the north of the village, which is the next place to go to 'Please God' location.

Now, waves of people are coming, following a set process of setting off firecrackers-burning paper-lighting incense-kowtow-leaving.

Anyway, this is what Sun Qian saw.

It is not afraid of crowding, because it is here in a large area, not necessarily limited to a fixed location, it can be by the wheat field, by the poplar forest, or even on the road.

So around this area, some people are lighting firecrackers, some are burning paper, some are kowtowing, and some are setting off fireworks. As for the children, they are running and shouting with lanterns, all excited about the beautiful fireworks.

Sun Qian stood aside, watching Song Yu, his father and son and several other relatives find a place where no one was around by the woods, set off firecrackers, light the yellow paper, take out the incense and light it on the paper that was about to burn out, and stood up. to go to the next location.

The three of them followed the group to the north, the same process, the same number of people, and the same excitement lit the incense again, took it away, and then set off to go home.

In this way, the relatives who have been gathered can be separated, and they can go home with the incense in their hands and offer it up.

Sun Qian looked at this tradition and was really curious. After asking Song Yu some questions, she gradually figured out some reasons.

Lighting firecrackers is like knocking on the door, telling the ancestors whether they want to go home for the New Year; burning yellow paper is to give them a position and not to find the wrong descendants; finally, lighting the incense on the burning paper is to take the ancestors back. of transportation.

What about those of the same ancestor?

Then it just depends on who he wants to go to celebrate the New Year this year, and whoever he chooses can follow the incense of that family.

Anyway, after watching the excitement for nearly an hour, Lao Sun, Sun Qian and Qiangba followed Song Yu and his son back home.

When he got home, Father Song had to hold the incense in both hands and kowtow respectfully three times before inserting it into the incense burner on the altar.And following the gas lit by the incense, the ancestors will return to the canvas with their names written on them, and enjoy the food and incense offered by their descendants.

At this time, it is necessary to find a stick to block the door of the house.

As for the purpose, Song Yuzeng speculated that it might be because he was afraid that things outside the house would collide with his ancestors.

At this moment, the dumplings are about to be served. Mama Song arranged the dumplings, then took some burning paper from the table, and started to light them in the house. She could also say something in her mouth, telling the ancestors what happened this year, or praying for the safety of the whole family next year.

After the paper is burnt out, kowtow three heads, which means that the ancestors have settled down, and the New Year's Eve dinner can begin.

Song's mother has already used this hour to stir-fry several dishes, but the dumplings have not been cooked yet, only the bowl that the ancestors will use.

At this time, Sun Qian had room to play. She and Song Ma were busy in the kitchen for a while, and each dish was ready.

Of course, men can't sit down and rest, and there are firecrackers to be set off.Two kick pipes, long hanging firecrackers, and even fireworks can all be set off.

This was Qiangba's happiest moment. He was not allowed to set off firecrackers at the place where he had just left, so he could happily light the fire now.

When he put the first one, he was still a little afraid, but he felt at ease when he got the second one, and he didn't even have to hide after the second one was ignited, he just waited for it to take off and explode.

This allowed Song's father to rest, and Qiangba almost took care of all the work of lighting the fire.

"Swoosh...bang!"

Huge fireworks exploded above the yard, bigger, brighter and more beautiful than watching other people's fireworks.

"It's a pity that Qianqian is not here." Song Yu muttered, continuing to enjoy the fireworks.

Fortunately, I bought a lot of fireworks and firecrackers this year, and Qiangba set off several of them one after another, successfully attracting Sun Qian who came out after cooking a few dishes.

"So beautiful!"

Not only the courtyard is directly above the sky, but the whole sky is full of fireworks, colorful, and there are various ways to scatter sparks after the explosion, making people dizzy.

In this way, the roar of fireworks and firecrackers can last all night, and there will even be a small peak at twelve o'clock in the morning to celebrate the joy of the New Year.
