Reborn the wonderful life of ancient times

After sweeping the dust on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the prelude to the New Year began.The pigs in the family were killed by someone, and grandma Huang made the decision. Except for a meal, all the pigs were kept at home.Steamed rice cakes, steamed jujube cakes, pancakes, steamed buns, steamed buns --- very busy.I have to say that Lin Fu's mother-in-law is good at craftsmanship, much better than Zhou's. She takes on most of the work on the stove, which makes Huang's and Zhou's a lot easier. Even Xiao Miao can help a lot. With a delicate appearance, she can afford and let go of any job.

After the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, more and more people in the village came to ask for couplets.These brothers are not repulsed, it happens to be a good time to practice calligraphy.Since Lin Zimo's grandfather, there has never been a scholar in the Lin family village. Every year, the couplets are written by the patriarch who has studied for a few days.Ever since Lin Zimo's family came back, they have begged in front of his uncle and his son, which is why no one in the village has bullied him since his family came back.

This year the uncle and his son left, and they didn't come back when the Chinese New Year was approaching. They brought back two catties of pork and two catties of snacks, and they also sent a message that they would not come back for the Chinese New Year.Lin Zimo guessed that the aunt didn't know that her family was living such a good life. If she knew, she would have come back to take advantage of it.

The three brothers who were studying in the university hall in the county town became the targets, and they all begged to come to the door.A good man did his best, and his family was well-off, so he bought a stack of red paper from a small shop in the village, and the three brothers wrote one by one, and sent two to anyone who asked for it.Don't look at this small action, which immediately brought the prestige of Lin Huaide's family in the village to another level.

It was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, and Lin Huaide took his three sons to the grave after getting up early in the morning and eating steamed buns.Walking on the road, Lin Huaide, who is usually seldom talkative, couldn't help nagging: "The county is so close to our village, why didn't your uncle come back to visit your grandfather's grave?" After walking for a while, he said: "Don't worry about your grandma , I won’t come to kowtow to your grandma after the Chinese New Year.”

The three brothers walked silently, carrying the baskets containing the offerings, and no one answered. The three brothers had lived in the county for several months, and no one mentioned that their uncle's house should be visited, not even Lin Huaide.Years of estrangement, even the relationship between brothers has become indifferent, but I don't understand that the eldest aunt has said that she has no feelings for this family, and the uncle will not come back this time, which is even more chilling.

The tall graveyard surrounded by hundreds of grave mounds, a dozen tall pine trees, poplar trees and many miscellaneous trees covered the graveyard a bit gloomy. People who went to the grave nodded and greeted each other, and each went to the grave of their parents to worship.The grave mounds made of loess are covered with withered grass, creating a depressing atmosphere.Lifting off the blue cloth covering the basket, inside was a large plate of snow-white steamed buns, a large plate of snow-white steamed buns, a large bowl of meat, and a large bowl of stewed chicken nuggets. Lin Huaide took out a jug and poured three glasses of wine together At the offering, the three of Lin Zihao drew a big circle in front of the grave, and lit the paper money they brought.

Lin Huaide, like many people in the clan, took a plate of buns and steamed buns, and took a lot of paper money, and went to the front of the grave belonging to Lin's ancestors to offer burning paper. This is the rule of the clan, and no one can forget the ancestors .After offering burnt paper in front of the grandfather's grave, I returned to my own grave.There were red fires everywhere, and two firecrackers were lit again. In the "crackling", the father and son kowtowed a few times together.

When they got home, Lin Fu and his son put up couplets early on. From the gate to the house, everywhere was full of excitement, which made the depressed mood much better.

After resting for a while, taking a sip of water, the father and son took a bath, changed into new plain clothes, and rushed to the Lin Family Ancestral Hall before noon.The Lin family ancestral hall was rebuilt with the money donated by Lin Huaide's family. There are five large tile-roofed houses with bluestone floors inside and outside the house, which is solemn and grand.

The offerings in the ancestral hall are not offered by each family in kind, but by each family's money, which is bought by the clan.Entering the courtyard of the ancestral hall, the offerings have been placed. On the Eight Immortals table in Nuoda, steamed whole pigs, whole sheep, whole chickens, and whole fish are placed on special iron plates. There are four big plates of steamed buns and four big plates of dim sum. It can be said to be a full feast.

As soon as Lin Huaide and his son showed up, Lin Huaide was invited to stand next to the elders below the patriarch.This is an honorable position, and Lin Huaide would not be able to get here due to his status in the clan, but donating a hundred taels of silver to his ancestors to build an ancestral hall is a great merit, and no one has any objections to this.

Standing behind his father, Lin Zimo quietly looked into the room where the ancestors were enshrined. There was no hill-like tablet in the room. There was only one ancestral tablet in the middle, and there were family trees with densely written names on the surrounding walls. The deceased elders of the Lin family were all there. above.Lin Zimo's scalp was numb for a while, and Lin Zimo hurriedly lowered his head. He couldn't explain the things in the world clearly. If he didn't believe what the soul said, how could he come to this other world?I hope that the ancestors of the Lin family will not blame him for occupying this body.

All the members came together, the patriarch took the lead, stood at the front and lit three pillars of thick incense, everyone knelt down together and kowtowed four times.Lin Zimo was extremely devout, and completely forgot about the repulsive mentality of bowing down at every turn. He only hoped that the ancestors of the Lin family would not argue with him for the sake of his sincerity.

After a series of ceremonies, it is not over yet. Every thirty nights, a few people will be left to light incense for the ancestors, until the dumplings are eaten in the morning.Each family takes turns to do this job, one person per family. There is no such thing as Lin Huaide's family this year, and the father and son can finally go home for dinner.

Keeping the old age is the most annoying thing in ancient times. There is neither TV nor computer, and you can't read and write during the New Year's Eve.The whole family sat around on the big kang in the grandma's house, kowtowed melon seeds, ate snacks and talked, and sent Lin Fu's family back to their own room to watch the new year and let them have a rest.

The family can clearly feel that grandma has something on her mind and is a little absent-minded, probably because she is concerned about the uncle's family.This is the case for all people in the world. Mothers worry about children traveling thousands of miles, but mothers do not worry about children traveling thousands of miles. Selfless mother's love can accommodate everything about children.

In order to make grandma happy, the family tried their best to talk, Lin Zimo told a few jokes that were popular on the computer before, and finally made grandma laugh, stroking Lin Zimo's head who was sitting next to her and said: "I Knowing that you are worried about me, I am also thinking about it, I will not miss your uncle anymore, children have their own blessings, don't be a horse and cow for your children, just watch over you." Lin Zimo felt a little sad for grandma, and hurriedly Changing the subject, he and Lin Yu laughed and made noises around grandma, completely behaving like children, making the old man very happy.
