Golden Fishing Village

Chapter 674 677. Kneel or not kneel (15)

There are some rules for firing the cannons when opening the door. The first round is the hundred-shot cannon, which is a small firecracker with a hundred shots. Ao Muyang lit it and threw it out. The small firecracker rolled on the ground, crackling and making a crisp sound.

Zhu Zhu covered her ears and watched happily. Ao Xiaoniu walked up to him and said in a serious manner: "Uncle Xiaoyang, I will fire the hundred-shot cannon."

For the sake of liveliness, there were several strings of hundred-shot cannons. This small firecracker was cheap, only ten yuan per string.

Ao Muyang handed a box of hundred-shot cannons to Ao Xiaoniu. A dog ran down the street, howling. I don’t know whose child was so naughty that he tied a string of small firecrackers to the dog’s tail. The dog was so scared that he shit and peed all over the place. There were water stains on the ground as he ran.

The general hid behind the door and looked out through the crack. The two little wolves were hiding in Youfu’s arms and trembling.

In fact, they are already bigger than Youfu. The two wolf kids grow up very fast, but they are very attached to Youfu and regard Youfu as the leader. Now they are sandwiching Youfu from the left and right. Considering the gender issue, their posture can be described in one word: 嬲……

The general is the leader of all the dogs in the village. Seeing his little brother being scared like this, he gritted his teeth and ran out, rushed to the dog's butt and tore off the firecrackers.

Ao Muyang gave a thumbs up, "General, be loyal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang appeared at the door.

The general screamed and rushed home like a fly.

Boom boom boom!

After the hundred-shot cannon, the second round of the door-opening cannon was fired. This time, the firecrackers commonly known as double-kick firecrackers were used. They were large and loud. One shot sounded on the ground and the other exploded in the air.

After the two-kick firecrackers, there is a large plate of ten-zhang red firecrackers, which are also called big red robes. When pulled open, they are three meters and three meters long, covered with red skin, and can crackle for a long time, which is very lively.

The whole Hongyang Village became lively, and smoke filled the air for a while. The smell of gunpowder kept drilling into everyone's noses, which was a bit pungent, but this is the smell of the New Year.

Ao Muyang distributed earplugs to everyone and said, "Go back to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow morning."

"Uncle Xiaoyang, it's this morning, what tomorrow morning, it's already New Year's Day." Zhu Zhu said happily.

Ao Muyang nodded and smiled, "Yes, Happy New Year, little girl."

Zhu Zhu was dissatisfied and said angrily, "What little girl, I'm one year older, one year older!"

Tonight is destined to be a bad night. Ao Muyang got up early in the morning. It was still dark at 4:30, and he had to get up, because the villagers would come to pay New Year's greetings when it was dawn.

Last year, he was not the village chief yet, but everyone came to pay New Year's greetings. This year, he is the village chief, so there must be more people coming to pay New Year's greetings.

As soon as he got up, Heilong and Zhong Cang also got up and helped.

In fact, there was not much to help with. After getting up, Ao Muyang went to the altar to kowtow first, and Lu Zhizi followed him to kneel and kowtow obediently. Seeing this, Ao Muyang smiled and said, "You don't have to, we haven't gotten married yet."

He knew that many places did not have such customs, and thought that kneeling to ancestors was hypocritical, but Ao Muyang was open-minded. A real man should kneel to the sky, the earth, and his parents. This is as it should be.

A real man is not to respect no one and fear no one, but to respect the grace of his parents' upbringing and fear the majestic laws of heaven and earth.

Lu Zhizi smiled and said, "It's okay. This is not a wife worshipping the ancestors. This is me getting to know your parents and ancestors first. It's a little strange the second time, and next time we kneel down, we will be familiar with each other, right?"

The two of them knelt down. Zhu Zhu, who came out in a daze, subconsciously knelt down when she saw this scene. Sixth sister didn't understand why, but if everyone knelt down, I would kneel down too.

Hei Long suddenly realized that this was a tradition? No problem, I'll kneel down with you. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

The remaining Zhong Cang stood and didn't kneel...

Ao Muyang looked back and saw that there were several heads behind him. He wondered what this was? Did the emperor kneel down to worship the ancestral temple during the coronation ceremony?

Lu Zhizi was also wondering. His kneeling was considered to be meeting the future ancestors. What was the matter with these two kids kneeling down and kowtowing? Would the ancestors mistake them as their children?

Luckily, Ao Muyang prepared red envelopes. Seeing that there were three more people kneeling down behind him, he took out a red envelope and gave one to each of them.

Zhu Zhu excitedly opened the red envelope, which contained red banknotes.

Seeing this, the general's eyes lit up, and his front legs softened, and he knelt down...

Ao Muyang had no choice but to give it one, and it wagged its tail and ran to give it to the sixth sister, who hugged its head and kissed it several times.

Next, we have to worship the six gods, which are the six gods of the family, namely the kitchen god, the eaves god, the white tiger god, the well god, the land god, and the god of wealth. Later, we have to worship the Dragon King when we go out to sea.

Originally, Ao Muyang could worship by himself, but the general followed him. As long as he knelt, the general knelt too. He kowtowed, the general kowtowed too. The dog's head was hard, and the tiles made a banging sound.

Seeing this, Lu Zhizi sighed: "General, this is a bloody expense!"

Ao Muyang spread his hands and said: "General, there is no red envelope, we will eat dumplings later, and I will give you a bowl of dumplings."

This year, we ate shrimp dumplings. The shrimp dumplings with lard dough were slippery in the mouth, and there was a whole shrimp inside, which was very exciting to eat.

Fortunately, he got up early. Just after he finished breakfast, someone knocked on the door. Ao Muhu and his son Ao Xiaozhi came to pay New Year's greetings.

"Uncle Xiaoyang, Teacher Lu, Happy New Year." Ao Xiaozhi greeted them very well.

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Happy New Year to you too, Brother Hu, Happy New Year, come in and have some tea."

Lu Zhizi prepared a lot of red envelopes, and each child who came to pay New Year's greetings could get one.

After getting the red envelopes, Ao Xiaohu jumped out. Not long after, another child came to pay New Year's greetings. They not only followed the elders at home, but some came to pay New Year's greetings in the middle of the way to get red envelopes.

One morning, there was an endless stream of people coming to pay New Year's greetings. When there were fewer people paying New Year's greetings, the sound of gongs and drums could be heard on the street outside, and it was very lively.

Ao Muyang felt that the atmosphere of the New Year was in the few days before the New Year. After paying New Year's greetings on the first day of the New Year, the New Year's atmosphere actually faded.

When paying New Year's greetings, he learned a piece of news that his uncle Ao Qianxin came back to celebrate the New Year this year.

Their family came back quietly on New Year's Eve, and they were discovered when they were the first to get the first shot.

Ao Muyang pretended not to know. Even if his uncle came back, what would it matter? Want him to go to the door to pay New Year's greetings? Dreaming!

His uncle was a big shot. Ao Muyang didn't go to work in the morning, and he sent his son and son-in-law to come.

Ao Muyang's cousin Ao Zhuangyuan lingered at the door. He was thinking about how to open his mouth when the door suddenly opened. The general came running in and barked at him with a ferocious attitude.

Now the general is no longer the skinny and miserable person he used to be. With the improvement of the golden drop, he has meat and bones for every meal. He is fat and strong, full of energy, like a golden lion.

Ao Zhuangyuan and his brother-in-law Jiang Zhenglei were startled and quickly waved their hands: "Go, go, go away."

Hearing this, Ao Muyang in the yard was unhappy: "Who are you? My dog ​​is at my doorstep, who has the right to make it go away?"

Ao Zhuangyuan looked angry, but after thinking about his father's instructions, he smiled again and said: "Brother, it's me, I came to wish you a happy new year."

Ao Muyang said coldly: "You don't need to wish me a happy new year. If you have the heart, go to the mountain to kowtow to your uncle and aunt, but your father should not go, don't dirty my parents' graves."
