my daughter my hometown

Chapter 113 Banquet
The drawing of lots was over, and everyone was talking, laughing and talking gradually dispersed.

The main families such as Su Wu and Wen Lan had to carry out the mopping up and the most important fulfillment of their vows in the ancestral hall.

Before the lottery is held, one has to make a wish in front of the ancestors. Now that the lottery is over, it is time for them to fulfill their wish.

The process of making a wish is simple.

Light up the incense, and use cold rice and cold dishes as an offering to the ancestors, and you don't even need to hang firecrackers.And those cold meals may still be the ones that were put out when making wishes in the morning, but the ancestors probably wouldn't mind.

Su Wu and the two got what they wanted, and they stood aside and chatted happily in a low voice.They will not worry about others at this time, looking at the blue sky and the green grass.

Even when Wen Lan entered the main house of the ancestral hall for the first time, she felt a little depressed and fearful, but at this time, looking at the God's Lord card like a hill in front of her, she felt warm and warm like seeing a close relative.

The two were chatting about how to train their little girl in the future, and when something happened, should the two of them teach or beat or beat...

Su Xue, who was tidying up in the main courtyard of the ancestral hall, suddenly rushed in with a happy face, "Brother, sister-in-law, grandma is coming towards the ancestral hall."

"Yelling, you don't look like a girl." Su Wu reacted after scolding Su Xue.He turned his head to look at the door in astonishment, and asked, "What's going on?"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Su Xue to answer, and after greeting Wen Lan, he hurriedly walked towards the main entrance of the ancestral temple.

Grandmother's eyesight is inconvenient to travel.In order to avoid trouble, many times she would never come out if she could not walk around.

For ordinary happy events in Yangxin Valley, such as the introduction of a new daughter-in-law or the registration of a newborn, others usually come to tell the result, and most of the time she will not come out to participate.

Su Xue is also aware of this, and she can't tell the reason.

The three of them were all tall and long-legged, and they arrived at the main entrance of the ancestral hall not long after, and saw Su Jing supporting her grandmother, followed by several gray-haired clan uncles, who had just stepped up the steps towards the ancestral hall.

"What's the situation?" Su Wu kept silent, stared at Su Qing winkingly, and asked about the situation.

Su Qing pursed her lips and said nothing, but the smile on her face showed that she was in a good mood.

"Is it Xiao Wu?" Hearing the sound of footsteps, the graceful and elegant old lady asked.

Su Wu responded, and said hello one by one, before he smiled and said, "My daughter's lottery ceremony was just held in the ancestral temple. It's a mess inside. We're cleaning it up but haven't done it yet."

"I don't know why you came to this ancestral hall, grandma..."

"I heard from Xiaoqing that your daughter caught a lion by drawing lots?" the old lady asked.

Su Wu was not surprised, he nodded.

"It's indeed a lion. The uncles of the family have all confirmed it one by one." After speaking, he couldn't help reminding again: "Grandmother, my daughter's name is Su Wan, Wan Xia's Wan."

The old lady nodded.

"It's unprecedented for a child to draw lots to catch auspicious beasts. This is a great event for our entire Yangxin Valley, and it is worth celebrating together."

She said: "Well, Xiaowuyi, if you continue to speak, just say what I mean. Your Xiaowan's lottery banquet will be moved to the ancestral temple and the whole family will hold it together, so that everyone in the village who has spare time will come to help quickly. Let the children buy what they want to buy now, and all the expenses will be paid by the family."

"This..." Su Wu was taken aback.

He had planned to hold a small banquet to congratulate his little girl's birthday just so-so.Not too many people were invited to attend, only good friends like Fang Weimin and Liao Jinhai, Aunt Ma's family and nearby neighbors who helped out.

After all, if the birthday party had to be finished early, he and Wen Lan could leave the village earlier to find a companion pet for the child.

However, Grandma's order directly ruined his plan.

The banquet held by the whole family is not an ordinary banquet.Normally, you have to prepare a few days in advance.

Now the old lady gives an order on a whim, even if the men and women of the whole clan put down their work and come to handle it together, even if it is only after one o'clock at noon, it is impossible to do it until the evening.And it's still the kind that is so-so and full of mistakes and omissions.

"Grandmother, is it inappropriate for her to hold a birthday lottery banquet in the ancestral hall in the evening of a little girl's family? I can't bear it?" Su Wu tactfully explained his plan.

"I said she can bear it," said the great grandmother decisively, "she can bear it."

After hearing this, Su Wu straightened his neck, speechless.

Ok.

You are always an elder or a clan wife, and before the pillars in the ancestral hall are removed, you will be what you say.

"What?" The old lady seemed to see Su Wu's displeasure, and said with a smile: "Xiao Wu, don't you think that your family's Xiao Wan caught the Rui Beast by drawing lots, it's just a small matter of your family, or it's just a matter of our Yangxin Valley? "

She speaks amazingly.

"Just wait. As soon as the news spreads in the surrounding ten villages and eight villages, the archway outside the village will soon be filled with the sound of gongs and drums from the villages celebrating lions. You will be busy then."

She smiled and continued: "If we hold a banquet for your girl in the ancestral hall. If people from the surrounding villages come, invite them to the ancestral hall. It will save you trouble."

thump thump thump...

As soon as she finished speaking, as if confirming the old lady's words, there was a strong rhythm of gongs and drums from outside the village.

Su Qing stuck out her tongue mischievously, took out her mobile phone, and gave Su Wu an apologetic nod.

As soon as Su Wan picked up the wood carving, she immediately shared the news with her best friend Wei Hui who was divorced.

Ninety-eight out of ten of the lion team who came to congratulate the door outside, the Wei family rushed over immediately after hearing the news.

"Why, my old lady's ears are bad, can't you hear me too?" Seeing that there was no movement around for a long time, the old lady couldn't help saying, "What are one or two still doing in a daze, hurry up and send someone to the entrance of the village to pick them up!"

Su Wu rolled his eyes, had no choice but to say yes, and obeyed obediently.

Su Xue next to him kept translating the conversation between the two for Wen Lan.

Wen Lan's face was calm, she listened silently, not knowing what she was thinking.

I saw Ye Ting and Shi Duanmin's mother and daughter learning the local dialect before, and they learned it smoothly.Wen Lan also wanted to try to learn the local dialect of Yangxin Valley.

It's just that the dialect here is too different from the standard Mandarin she used from novels to adulthood in terms of pronunciation or word order.Wen Lan stuttered and studied for several days, not only failed to learn a few words, but almost bit her own tongue.

Because of this, she was often laughed at by Su Wu.

Listening to Su Xue's simultaneous translation, Wen Lan suddenly asked curiously, "Xiaoxue, how will the banquet be held in this ancestral temple? Could it be that you prepare the meals at home before moving them here?"

Su Xue couldn't help but burst out laughing, she understood what Wen Lan meant.

The distance from their home to the ancestral hall is not that close. If the meals were prepared at home and brought over, they would probably be as cold as the meals on the altar.

"Sister-in-law, the ancestral hall used to be inhabited, and there are complete living facilities inside."

"But there are also differences." She introduced: "The courtyard and houses on the west side have all been changed into venues related to lottery. And the east side, which you have never been in before, has everything needed to hold a banquet for thousands of people. , including pots, pans, tables, stools and chairs. So you get the idea."

"Feast for thousands of people?" Wen Lan couldn't help but widen her eyes.

She is familiar with this word, but she has never seen it before.There are only four people in their family, and it is too far away from Qianren.

Su Xue giggled, and proudly puffed out her chest.

"Yes, it's a feast for thousands of people. In the past, there were thousands of people in Yangxin Valley..."

Speaking of this, Su Xue's face darkened, and she quickly changed the subject.

"However, the banquet for thousands of people is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Generally speaking, it is only held once on a big festival or birthday. For example, at the end of each year or the tenth birthday and birthday of some important ancestors. I didn't expect..."

Wen Lan blinked her eyes, she understood what Su Xue meant, and couldn't help but also be at a loss.

　Make up for yesterday's Chapter 30 on the 2th.

　　I didn't write today, so I have to hurry.
