my daughter my hometown

Chapter 395

In a blink of an eye, New Year's Eve is here.

It is said that one year is not busy and the New Year's Eve is thirty, so one can imagine the tediousness of this day.

Early in the morning, Su Wan was pulled out of bed by Xi Qiuhua to wash her hair and take a bath.

"Grandma, why do you have to wash your hair so early every night?" The little girl sucked on the soy milk, unable to open her eyes.

"Because today is New Year's Eve. Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve. Everyone needs to be clean to celebrate the New Year."

After Su Wan had breakfast, Xi Qiuhua washed his granddaughter's long hair, "Not only Wan Wan, but also my aunt, mother and grandma."

The voice here hadn't finished yet, and the voice of Su Xue gnashing her teeth came from the yard.

"An'an, don't run around, come take a bath."

A lion is happily nibbling a fish.It looked up at Su Xue with wet hair inexplicably.

"What are you looking at, everyone needs to wash." Su Xue crossed her waist, "You don't have to wash. No one will help you take a shower in the next few days. Of course, you can't come into my room again."

I do not believe.

An An yelled a few times, then walked out of the courtyard.

It went straight to Aunt Ma's house, but it didn't see its little playmate A Bang; it turned around and went to Su Xiaolan's house, just in time to see the cloth tiger squatting in the foam with its eyes closed, and its fur was being scrubbed by the little master.

After figuring out the reason, An An quickly went home obediently, asking Su Xue to take a bath.

"Go, go." Su Xue pushed it away angrily, "I asked you to wash it just now, but you ran very fast. Now you know you are bothering me? I don't have time!"

It was still morning, but she had to help Wenlan post the red seees.

Lishi, some places are called Chuntiao.These are four-character idioms or auspicious words written on red paper, such as flowers blooming and wealth, grain harvests, prosperity in both people and wealth, and so on.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, every door frame in the house and the full moon doors in the east and west compartments have to be torn off the old ones and pasted with new lai sees.The main gate should be pasted with couplets.

This job was not heavy.Just a few sheets of paper.

After all, no matter how many doors there are in the house, where can they go?Therefore, most families will only do it after the reunion dinner at night.

However, Wen Lan is the successor wife.

All the unowned houses in the village are under her management.Naturally, she had to paste the stickers on the doorways inside...

Su Xue knew that there would be a lot of them.But when she saw two large baskets of laishi in front of her eyes, she couldn't help wiping off her sweat.

No matter how big your head is, you still have to work.

Wen Bo carried the ladder, Wen Lan and Su Xue each carried a basket of red meat out of the house, and there was a little tail singing behind them.

They were busy, and Su Wu was even busier.

At this time, he and Su Hai were standing under the archway, looking up at the three simple characters of "Yangxin Valley" above.

To say it is simple is actually the reason for a careless glance.If you climb to the archway and take a closer look, you will know that these three characters have been damaged.

After all, these three characters are older than the oldest person in the village.

However, damage is damage, but it cannot be moved casually.Even if the whole family congratulates the completion of the Wind and Rain Corridor Bridge during the winter solstice, they have not been moved.

What Su Wu wants to move is the couplet on both sides.

In fact, it's not considered moving, he just climbed up to draw new lines with a red pen.

This job looks simple, but the brothers are still busy all morning.

After hastily eating lunch, Su Wu turned around and went to the ancestral temple.

Paste new couplets, clean the plaque on the gate of the ancestral hall, trace the three characters of Yangxingu on it, and then install festive red velvet.

Having done all this, he descended to inspect the threshold.

There is often a word in the book called breaking through the threshold, which describes a lot of people coming and going.

But the threshold before him was a solid block of granite.Ordinary men can't move it even if they want to.It is estimated that it will not be broken or leveled in another 100 years.

Into the main courtyard.

The huge main courtyard has been cleaned up by half-grown children like Su Xiaohu and Su Zizhen.What Su Wu checked was the gutters and sewers around.

There is a lot of rain here in Yangxin Valley, and the drainage of the ancestral hall has always been the top priority.It will be troublesome if it is flooded.

In fact, he didn't need to check it out, those gray-haired clan elders had already been watching closely.Su Wu is just a routine.

After the inspections were sorted out, it was already evening,

Aunt Ma and her team rushed over.

These women are the most troublesome. In addition to preparing their own New Year's Eve dinner, they also have to go to the ancestral hall to make a meal for ancestor worship.

The most important thing among them is to kill the big New Year fish.

But it's easier to do things with more people.

When the children like Su Wan also arrived at the ancestral hall, everything was ready for the ancestor worship.

There is not much difference between worshiping ancestors on New Year's Eve, except that there is an extra incense burner.

This censer is not placed in front of the god's amulet in the main house, but it is placed in the courtyard of the main courtyard without any cover.

Wen Lan was dumbfounded.

She quietly tugged at her husband's sleeve, "Honey, why is there an incense burner in the courtyard? I always thought it was an ornament."

Su Wu chuckled.

The five incense burners in front of the god's main tablet are dedicated to the ancestors with surnames on the altar.

But every time the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, Yangxin Valley will send out descendants to defend the country, and most of them have never been heard from.

Those who know the exact news of the burial, no matter how far away, Yangxin Valley will send people to bring them back.However, more people don't see the dead or the dead.

Those who have disappeared cannot enter the ancestral graves, so naturally they cannot go to the altar to receive incense from future generations.Yangxin Valley set up a barren furnace in the courtyard of the ancestral hall to offer a trace of incense to these clansmen who have not returned.

More than 100 households lined up to offer incense, which is quite spectacular.

Especially small Shi Duanmin, when she walked forward with Wuzhixiang nervously.The huge ancestral hall suddenly fell silent.

clap clap.

Su Wu and Su Hai didn't seem to pay attention to this, and happily applauded her.

Su Wan, Su Xiaoniu and the other children didn't think too much about it. Seeing their father and uncle applauding together, they also clapped their hands with a smile on their faces.

Soon, everyone clapped their hands and applauded.Shi Duanmin burst into tears.

Burn incense, offer meals, light firecrackers, and wait for the ancestors to enjoy the incense.

After a long while, some clan elders came out and cut the big mandarin fish into two.Part of it will continue to be offered in the ancestral hall, and the other part will be distributed to the whole clan to take home.

In fact, it means that every household uses a spoon or chopsticks to beat some fish soup or pinch some fish.

After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, it was already dark.

In the restaurant on the second floor of Su Wu's house, the tables are filled with delicious fish and meat.

Wen Zhengyang looked towards the living room, "If it was our hometown, it would be time for the whole family to watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV and have a reunion dinner."

"Grandpa, do you want to watch TV? Turn it on for you every night." Su Wan graciously turned on the TV.

Sure enough, the Spring Festival Gala on TV is about to begin.

"Xiao Wu," Su Ping glanced at Su Wu. He took care of the in-laws who came from the north. "Let's move the food to the living room. Let's watch the Spring Festival Gala together."

"That's good. The living room should be bigger, so it's comfortable to sit in." Su Wu nodded with a smile.

So the full table of meals was moved to the living room.Even Su Xue carried An An and the food plate of rice balls and put them on the small couch beside her.

Compared with the dining room, the living room is naturally much larger.Even a little girl can ride a balance bike back for a stroll.

"Wanwan," Xi Qiuhua said to his granddaughter after offering sacrifices to the five gods, "Today is New Year's Eve. Hurry up and wash your hands and come over to have a reunion dinner. After dinner, you can go out and set off fireworks."

"Oh." Su Wan obediently responded, first ran to wash her hands, and then squeezed to her father like a loach.

Su Wu smiled and hugged his daughter to the small stool next to him, "Have you finished writing Wanwan's blessing? Remember to post it for grandma."

"It's finished." The little girl nodded happily, "I helped Grandma and Aunt Min write the characters "Fu" at Wanwan."
