Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children
Chapter 697: Ancestor Worship
After sending away Qu Jiacheng, Gao Mingyuan, and the cadres of Qingshangou Township, Jiang Fuhai and others helped send back the tables, chairs and other objects to each family.
Then they arranged for the members of the Xu family to live there.
Xu Chenghou and Xu Shiquan live in the east room with Xu Shiquan and his wife, while Xu Shixian lives in the west room with his wife and children.
The brothers Xu Shi'an lived with other families in Shijiagou with their wives and children.
It is more convenient to live separately. After all, although each family has enough space to live in, they don't necessarily have so many bedding.
The children had fun during the day and slept late, and they slept soundly this night.
When I woke up in the morning, I had a few mosquito bags on my body.
This is also normal. There are many mountains and forests in Shijiagou, and there must be many mosquitoes.
When Xu Shiyan saw the children scratching in pain and itchiness, he told them to wash their faces quickly and apply medicine on their faces after washing.
In the past, at this end of Shijiagou, there were very few people with washbasins at home.
There is a small river ditch in front of the door. No matter whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, you can wash your face as soon as you go out and squat by the river.
Now that life is better, there is a washbasin at home, but it is still rarely used.
According to Hu Chunhua's instructions, the children squatted on the edge of the small river and washed their faces with two handfuls of water.
The water in the river ditch is clear and cold, and I wake up immediately after washing my face, which is very comfortable.
After the children finished washing their faces, Xu Shiyan took out the ointment and applied it on them.
Not to mention, after the ointment was applied, it felt cool and refreshing, and it didn't itch so much.
The children are all skinny, so they don't care about that, they are playing around in the garden.
Breakfast was eaten at Xu Shiquan's side. After dinner, Xu Shixian and others went to the village store and bought some incense, burning paper and other items.
Everyone took their things and followed the path that Xu Haibo and the others took up the mountain yesterday, turned south, and came to the Xu family's ancestral grave.
Several generations of the Xu family are buried here. Xu Shiquan's parents are currently at the bottom, and Xu Chenghou's parents are in the row above.
The customs are different from Donggang. The graves here are very small, and the small graves are very inconspicuous.
There is no stele in front of the tomb, and there is nothing but the tomb gate built with three stones.
Xu Shixian and the others were puzzled, so they asked Guilan next week in a low voice. Zhou Guilan said that this is the custom here.
Xu Chenghou led his children and grandchildren to the grave of his parents, placed offerings, lit incense and burned paper.
In front of the other graves, some burnt paper was also distributed.
The old man was still muttering words.
It's nothing more than asking parents to forgive him, he hasn't been able to come back these years.
Then, let the sons come forward and introduce them one by one. As for the grandchildren, they are not even adults yet, so don't come forward.
"Father, mother, I have brought my son and grandson back to see you.
The old Xu's family is really promising in this generation.
The son was foolish back then, ruined his family business, and had no choice but to leave his hometown and go to Fusong.
At any rate, it is a way out, and the children also have jobs and prospects.
If the parents know about it, they will bless the children to be prosperous and promising in the future. "
While talking, Xu Chenghou fiddled with the pile of burnt paper with a stick.
Most of the burnt paper these days is still that kind of thick grass paper, which smokes a lot when it is lit.
Perhaps because of the smoke, Xu Chenghou's eyes were a little red, so he raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes.
When Xu Shixian and others saw this, they hurried forward and helped Xu Chenghou stand up.
Then he took the stick in Xu Chenghou's hand, and fiddled with the pile of burnt paper bit by bit, so that the burnt paper could be fully burned.
After all the paper is burnt and turned into black ash, use a stick to push it away to ensure that no sparks are left.
Although the vegetation is lush in July, it is not easy to catch a fire, so you have to be careful, in case something happens, it will be a catastrophe.
"Come on, kowtow to your grandparents."
Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan were in the front, brothers Xu Shixian led their wives in the second row, Xu Jinfeng and Xu Haibo led their siblings in the third row.
They kowtowed to the ancestors of the Xu family three times before getting up.
Xu Chenghou spilled wine in front of the grave, and Zhou Guilan also took apart all the offerings, that's what it meant.
The ancestor worship ceremony is not very complicated, and it will be over here.
Xu Chenghou muttered a few more words, and then walked back with his children and grandchildren.
There is also a small grave on the way, where Xu Chenghou's first daughter-in-law is buried.
He died at a young age and couldn't enter the ancestral grave, so he was buried outside.
Xu Chenghou stepped forward to burn some paper, didn't say anything, just watched the paper burnt quietly, Xu Shixian and the others came over to salute, and everyone went down the mountain together.
After going to the grave to worship the ancestors, the purpose of this trip to my hometown has been achieved, so I don't have much thought, so I should go back.
How can I think about it, before I have to leave here, Qu Jiacheng and Gao Mingyuan came in a hurry again.
"Uncle Xu, brother Xu, well, you must go to the county today.
There was a call from Dandong just now, and someone will be arranged to answer it.
The leader said, no matter what I say today, I can't let you just leave like this. "
It turned out that the two drank a lot last night and woke up late this morning.
After breakfast, Qu Jiacheng thought about it, so he called the city and talked to the leader.
As a result, when the city leaders heard this, they immediately told Qu Jiacheng and the others to keep the person behind, and they would arrange someone to pick them up.
You must know that last winter, Yishenchang imported a lot of seafood from Dandong, and the price was not low.
Those fishermen who went out to sea took their money and had a good year.
I heard that it was Xu Shiyan who came, so the leaders of the relevant departments shouldn't invite Xu Shiyan to sit down, have a meal and chatter or something?
Not to mention anything else, if I can buy another batch of seafood this winter, wouldn't I be able to earn another fortune?
So let Qu Jiacheng and them over there, make sure to keep Xu Shiyan and his party behind, and let them go without saying anything.
Qu Jiacheng and others received the task assigned by the leader, so what are they talking about? Hurry up and drive over, just in time.
Xu Shiyan and his party originally planned to say goodbye to Xu Shiquan and the others, and then go to Qingshan Lake to have a look.
Wander around for a stroll, and stay overnight in Huanren in the evening.
Get up early tomorrow and go back to Tonghua, then go to Yuhuang Mountain to have a look, and you will be home the day after tomorrow.
Who would have thought that before they left, Qu Jiacheng and the others would come back and say they would come to pick them up from the city.
Xu Shiyan was also very helpless because of the commotion. When he came out this time, no one who said it was Niao Qing'er was alarmed, but no one escaped.
"Brother, how many days have you all asked for leave? Can you go back later?
How about you go back first? How many more days will I stay here with my parents? "
It's easy to say other things, the key point is that Xu Shixian and Xu Shixiang both borrowed cars from their units, so how can it be said that they were delayed outside for too long?
"I just took four days off." Xu Shixian and the others looked at each other and said.
July 15th is a Saturday. There is no such thing as a weekend in this year, only Sunday.
So they all invited Saturday, and Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, a total of four days.
I originally thought that including Sunday, there would be a total of five days, and it would be quite easy to play back and forth on the road.
But no one expected that these situations would happen.
If we go to Dandong again, we may not be able to go back someday. How can this be done?
The holiday can be extended if you talk about it. This car is not good. How can you drive the car of the unit for several days without going back?
