Rebirth: We are all in the same little galaxy

After parking the car, Boss Chen got out, opened the trunk, and took out a big red gift box. No one knows what was inside.

"Brother Lan! Congratulations! I wish you great wealth, success in everything, and a better life! It's just a small token of my respect."

Boss Chen said auspicious words with a smile and handed the gift box in his hand to Papa Lan who was walking towards him.

"Thank you, Brother Chen! I appreciate your good words! I appreciate your good words! Hope that we can all get better and better!"

While entertaining Boss Chen, Dad Lan introduced him to his family's relatives, and both sides said all kinds of auspicious words to each other.

While everyone was chatting, many people came by car one after another, and for a moment, the yard became more lively.

Dad Lan was in a particularly good mood today. While entertaining the guests, he was also responsible for directing the cars behind to enter the underground garage.

After shaking hands with this one, he turned around and shook hands with another one, and also chatted with everyone with Boss Chen's arm around his shoulder.

The key is that Boss Chen was very cooperative. I don’t know what Baba Lan did, but Boss Chen seemed to speak to him with a little respect. Lan Yinlin found it very strange!

What Lan Yinlin didn't know was that because she was going to Beijing alone, although Dad Lan seemed to let her go, he was still very worried in his heart.

So these days, whenever he went to Hai City, he would go to see Boss Chen and ask him to take good care of his daughter. By the way, he would inadvertently show Boss Chen his internal strength.

Boss Chen has a secret, he is a martial arts fan and admires people who know martial arts, but he has never seen anyone who truly has internal strength.

So when he saw Blue Dad crush the stone into pieces with his bare hands, he was completely stunned. It felt like he had seen his idol in real life. From then on, Blue Dad became his idol!

Looking at the lively courtyard, Lan Yinlin was infected by the harmonious atmosphere and felt infinite emotion in her heart. This might be the meaning of traditional customs.

Everyone gathered together to eat and drink, talk about life and work, and gossip about family matters. Whenever this happened, if she was not the protagonist, Lan Yinlin would feel very touched.

By the time everyone had finished greeting each other, it was almost noon. Dad Lan quickly put the gift from Boss Chen back into the room, as the auspicious time chosen by Grandma Lan had arrived.

All the elders of the village are here today. According to the traditional custom of Xibei Village, every household in Xibei Village will invite the elders to preside over any important events.

Although Grandpa Lan is not from Xibei Village, he has settled down in the village and made many contributions to Xibei Village when he was young. He is also the accountant of the village.

So Grandpa Lan was recognized by all the villagers at that time and was included in the Xibei Village family tree. The villagers had long regarded their family as belonging to Lanjia Village.

The characters between her father and her two younger brothers are arranged according to the generation order of the Chen family. Girls in the village can also follow this name, or if they find it difficult to name themselves, they don't have to.

Their family also considered themselves as people of Xibei Village, so Grandma Lan specially invited several village elders to take charge.

Under the porch at the main entrance, the village elder who presided over the housewarming ceremony stood on the right. He solemnly picked up a bunch of incense and candles with both hands and handed them to Father Lan who was standing in the middle.

Father Lan took it with both hands, and the old man immediately shouted: "The housewarming ceremony officially begins!"

Dad Lan lit the incense and distributed the candles in his hand to the other six people in the family. The family bowed in all directions and then Dad Lan took the candles from their hands.

The person in charge of helping to prepare the brazier was Grandma Lan's cousin. When they finished the worship, he quickly brought a small brazier and placed it at the door of her house.

Seeing this, the elders of the tribe sang loudly: "The ceremony is over! Jump over the fire basin!"

Grandma Lan and Mother Lan repeatedly reminded the four children in the family that they could only jump over the fire basin once and not repeatedly, otherwise they would encounter difficulties in the future.

The elders of the clan began to sing a congratulatory speech with great emotion: "Please, ancestors of the Chen clan, the descendant of Lan Zixuan, Lan Chuanjin, has moved to a new house. I hope all the ancestors will be informed!"

"May the descendants of our clan member Lan Zixuan, Lan Chuanjin, and his family all be blessed with good fortune and good health!"

The male host was to cross first. Papa Lan raised his hands slightly, holding a bunch of incense and candles, and crossed over the fire basin smoothly under the chanting of the elders.

The audience cheered loudly, "Good!"

After Blue Dad finished his cross, the elders continued to sing loudly: "Enough food and clothing! Prosperity and wealth!"

Grandma Lan followed closely and walked over carrying the rice bucket and red envelopes. Everyone cheered again and applauded. Under the leadership of the clan elder, everyone's emotions were aroused!

Rice symbolizes food. When moving into a new home, you must bring a bucket of rice in, and it must be more than 80% full, which means you will have enough food and clothing in the future.

Red envelopes are a must when moving into a new house, as this day is quite festive. If you invite movers, you should give each of them a red envelope afterwards.

If there are no movers, distribute the red envelopes to friends and family present to share in the good fortune. The amount of the red envelopes does not need to be too much, 6.8 yuan, 8.8 yuan, or 18.8 yuan will be enough.

Amid the cheers of the onlookers, the elder raised his head and continued to chant loudly: "May the wind blow smoothly and the water flow smoothly!"

Lan Ma successfully crossed over with the bucket and bowl, and the crowd watching shouted again: "Good!"

There are also some rules for water buckets. Just fill them one-third full and bring them into your new home, which symbolizes good weather and abundant rains in the days ahead.

Bowls and chopsticks are used for eating, so an even number is better. Put them in a bucket and bring them into the new home, which means that people in the family live in pairs and their work fortunes are getting better and better.

Next came Lan Yinlin and Lan Lemin. The two sisters each carried a suitcase filled with high-end clothes and stepped over the fire basin under the congratulations of the clan elders, symbolizing that their lives were thriving and rising!

The next one was Lan Jiaqi, who easily crossed the brazier holding seven pillows tied together.

Why do we bring pillows? Because moving is the re-transfer of the aura, and at this time we need to bring in pillows first, and we need to bring enough pillows for the number of people in the house.

The last one was Lan Jialin. He took the dustpan and the new broom and successfully crossed over the brazier. He symbolically swept the living room with the dustpan and the new broom, and then made a gesture of pouring them out the door.

It means starting from scratch, sweeping all the filth in the house out, and then the family finds a place to put the things in their hands, and this stage is completed!

At the foot of the steps at the front door, a relative immediately lit the firecrackers that had been placed there a long time ago. The crackling sound of the firecrackers was deafening, and everyone happily entered the house.

Surrounded by relatives and friends, the family went to the innermost part of the living room, where a tribute table was set up, on which were placed fruits, whole chickens, ducks, fish and a large pig's head.

There are also green onions and sugarcane, which means wishing the children in the family to be smart, the main house to be prosperous, and the future life to be rich and sweet!

The elders stood on the right side of the tribute table and continued to sing the next part: "Offer to the ancestors! Offer to the land! May your life be more prosperous!"

After the elders finished singing, Father Lan took the incense and candles and distributed them to the family members behind him. The whole family then bowed in front of the offering table in an orderly manner.

The elders continued to sing: "Respect the ghosts and gods above! Drive away the filth below! The longer you live, the healthier you will be!"

The family bowed towards the four directions again, and then placed the incense and candles in their hands into the altar on the offering table.

Then Dad Lan lit another stick of incense and started from the left side of the house, sweeping up and down the living room, kitchen, toilet, and room until every corner of the house, upstairs and downstairs, had been fumigated.

Until Blue Dad comes out from the right side of the house, goes to a safe place outside the door, extinguishes the incense and throws it away, which means getting rid of bad luck.

After completing this entire process, the housewarming ceremony is considered a complete success, and then it is time for relatives and friends to gather together to chat and reminisce!

A group of relatives and friends followed Dad Lan to visit every corner of her house, exclaiming in admiration as they looked around.

While congratulating Mr. Lan, everyone was envious of him. Most of them were farmers who made a living by farming and doing odd jobs.

I may never be able to afford such a big house in my entire life, and I can’t even imagine what it feels like to live in such a beautiful house!
