my daughter my hometown

Chapter 19 Genealogy
Climbing up to the altar is not to be an offering, but the position of the incense burner is too high, even with Su Wu's slender body, it is difficult to reach it.

Although there are many spiritual seats, there are only five incense burners.

So it seems that it is not true to say that the Buddha competes for a stick of incense.

The position of incense, the number of incense sticks, the color of the candle...

Su Wu didn't understand anything about the altar.But with Aunt Ma and a few warm-hearted uncles below, he was not in a panic.

Soon, he got the joss stick on it and jumped off the altar.A bunch of uncles and aunts came forward to help put out the sacrifices, and almost four tables were set up.

Su Wu was a little dumbfounded.

He should not have paid a penny. Where did the food in front of him come from?

Not to mention the meal, he also sneaked into the kitchen of Su Xue's house, how could there be so many dishes?
"Xiao Wu, why are you in a daze." Aunt Ma stuffed him with a bunch of firecrackers, "Go outside the gate and light it, and tell the ancestors to come home for dinner."

Su Wu withdrew his thoughts, nodded, picked up the firecrackers and left. After walking a few steps, he turned back.

"Uncle, lend me a lighter to light the cannon."

He explained embarrassingly, "I don't smoke, so I don't have a lighter."

The man was dumbfounded, and it took him a long time to react. He dug left and right to find a lighter, and handed it to Su Wu numbly.

Su Wu hehe took the lighter and was about to go out when Aunt Ma chased after her shaking her head.

"One or two are unreliable. Xiaowu is young, and no one came out to watch. Be careful that he puts the firecrackers in the well."

Su Wu wiped his sweat again and again, "Aunt Ma, this is impossible."

There is a difference of at least 50 meters between the two stone lions and the well, one high and the other low.This kind of small firecrackers should not fly into the well no matter how they are set off.

"No way?" Aunt Ma sneered, "Some stupid people can't do anything."

"Not to mention throwing firecrackers into the well, there are even people who see others setting off firecrackers happily and go to watch, but forget that they are still holding a ball on their body. As a result, they were directly set on fire, and finally let the bombers jump into the well. "

Su Wu wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

He knew that this fool was none other than Aunt Ma's son and his good brother, Su Hai.

After going out the gate, Su Wu was taken aback.

There was a large open space in front of the two stone lions. He was going to set firecrackers there, but at this moment there were more than a dozen people standing there.

Taking a casual glance, Su Wu was very familiar with him, but they were all from the village.

After calling a few familiar names, Su Wu said, "Go in since you're here, why stay here?"

Ancestral halls have always been equated with old and gloomy, not everyone likes to go in and enjoy the atmosphere inside.

The people in front of them shook their heads one after another, and scattered to the side, "Xiao Wu, you are busy with your work, don't worry about the affairs here."

Su Wu narrowed his eyes.

Among the group of people were two strangers, who were soaked from head to toe, squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, tremblingly begging for mercy.

Su Wu frowned, and was about to ask what happened, when Aunt Ma next to him spoke up in time.

"Xiao Wu, it's time, light the cannon!"

"Okay." Su Wu didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly responded, lit the string of firecrackers, and hurried back behind the main gate.

Firecrackers are really good firecrackers. Although they are small in appearance, they are deafeningly loud.

Su Wu was worried about scaring his daughter, so he hurried to the ancestral hall in three steps.

Fortunately, the courtyard between the main gate and the ancestral hall is quite large, and there are many sound-absorbing green plants planted in the middle. Although the sound of firecrackers is loud here, it has lost the power of the original.

Su Wu saw the happy daughter who was stroking wild geese at a glance, and he was relieved to see that she was not crying or fussing.

After the firecrackers were lit, elders who were good at singing came out of the ancestral hall to chant words to the spirit tablet above.

The general idea is to thank the ancestors for their great love, and to give the lovely newborn girl to the family, and hope that the ancestors will continue to bless her to grow up healthily.

From then on, the girl and her family shared wealth and wealth.If she can become a talent, she will devote all her efforts to her cultivation; if she wants to choose, then choose a good husband for her.

Even after marriage, the whole family is still her strong backing.If the man is unkind, the whole clan will seek justice for her.

As Hu Yifei scolded in the love apartment, "How dare you bully you, thinking that there is no one in her natal family?"

It's just that the original text of this kind of sacrificial oration is somewhat half-literal and half-white, and the person who sang and wished was speaking in a dialect, so Su Wu was confused, but he could guess the meaning.

Don't say anything else, just say that if you can become a talent, you will devote all your efforts to cultivate it.

Su Wu has a lot of opinions on this.

He, a child whose parents have died, can successfully complete his university studies. The whole village has given him help, but that is just icing on the cake.

It was his uncle Su Ping, Su Xue's father, who really gave him full support.

Su Ping's family suffered heavy losses from the wildfire more than ten years ago.

Parents and even the eldest son lost their lives directly in the fire.The wife who was overly sad dragged on for several years, leaving behind a daughter who had fallen to the ground and passed away.In addition, there is a nephew who is not a few years older.

After working so hard to drag Su Xue until she was six years old to go to elementary school, Su Ping gritted her teeth and went out to work for the tuition fees of her two children.After careful calculation, it has been ten years.

In the past ten years, almost all the tuition fees of the brothers and sisters have been paid by Su Ping in exchange for working. Has the family helped?
There is indeed.

Even though the current Su Wu has traveled here, he can still see clearly the memory of his previous life.

In the first year of Yuanshen's university, the family gave out 1000 yuan, and nothing else.

As for why he was able to wear this body, it was basically because the former Su Wu worked hard and exhausted himself to death, so Su Wu who came from the earth took over his body.

It's really better spoken than sung.

Su Wu secretly shook his head, but he didn't raise any objection.

No matter how little money there is, it is a timely gift. One should not be too greedy, or even feel resentful and resentful.

The sacrificial oration was sung quickly, and the uncle who sang Zhu took out a yellowed thread-bound book from nowhere, and flipped through it carefully.

Su Wu's eyes were sharp, and he saw a few large characters written on the cover at a glance.

Yangxin Valley Su family tree.

Soon the genealogy turned to Su Wu's family, and the uncle handed over the book.

"Xiao Wu, my uncle has bad eyesight. Write it yourself."

"I write?" Su Wu subconsciously took the book and pen, and felt something was wrong after he realized it. "Could it be that anyone can scribble on this genealogy?"

"Of course not." The uncle smiled kindly, "But Xiao Wu, you are the most educated person in the village now, so you are naturally qualified to write the family tree."

"Of course, the most important thing is that the genealogy in front of me is just a plan. The real genealogy has always been enshrined on it, and it will not be taken down easily..." The uncle of the family pointed to the god's card above, "Every year on the [-]th night, the patriarch will Please get down the real genealogy, and then copy the situation during the year according to this plan."

"So that's how it is." Su Wu suddenly realized, "Then I will write it."

He readily picked up the pen and was about to start.Su Xue hugged Su Wan, and leaned over with bright eyes.

The brothers and sisters looked at the genealogy tree, and there were familiar names all over the page, almost all of which had the word 孤 at the end, and Su Wu suddenly felt that the pen in hand was quite heavy.

"Will be fine."

He stretched out his hand to scratch Su Xue's nose, stopping the moisture in the girl's eyes.Then he wrote without hesitation, and rewrote below his name: eldest daughter, Su Wan, born on the seventh day of August in XX.

Su Wan in Su Xue's arms has been struggling endlessly, thinking about going to the ground to play with the rice balls, when she suddenly sensed something.

She fell silent all of a sudden.

The little girl turned her head, raised her gaze, and fixed it firmly on Su Wu's face and eyes.

This was the first time Su Wan had looked at someone since she was born.

The corners of the little girl's mouth curled up, a sweet smile rippling on her face little by little.

Su Wu only felt a warm eye, and in his daughter's beautiful eyes, he saw a deep attachment.
