Chapter 86 Sacrifice to the Ancestors
The Wangjiazhuang became lively, and the children circled around Wang Manyin who was pushing the bicycle, happily feeling the sweetness in their mouths.

As for the adults who came out to look around, there were smiles in the corners of their eyes, and they were also surprised in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, this Erliuzi clansman would really transform one day.

I used to rely on everyone's support to survive. Two years ago, I heard that I went out to visit a big place. I didn't expect that when I came back, I not only married such a pretty mother-in-law, but also wore a Chinese tunic suit, pushed a bicycle, and walked steadily. It is completely different from the person in the impression.

But they were also happy. The Wang Family Village had a strong sense of clan, and they wished that the clan would get better and better. It would save face to say so, and the Wang Family would become stronger and stronger.

Besides, the people of the tribe have become more developed. Could it be possible that Wangjiazhuang will be forgotten? They will benefit from it.

For example, the current Wang Manyin, seeing that he was promising, immediately went back to Wangjiazhuang. Looking at the cloth bag and bamboo basket, there must be good things inside, and maybe it was returned to the village.

Closer to home, Wang Manyin and Lan Hua came to the wheat threshing field in the center of the village. At this time, most people in the village were busy working here, and the huge field was already filled with round tables.

There has always been a custom in Wangjiazhuang that every big festival, the whole village will gather together to have fun, for example, they will drink Qingming wine together during the Qingming Festival.

The appearance of Wang Manyin immediately caused a commotion, and his familiar brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts surrounded him and kept talking.

Some asked him if the bicycle belonged to him, some asked him what he had been doing for the past two years, some asked him if he is well-off now, and some asked about the situation of the orchids.

Wang Manyin answered one by one, saying that in the past two years, he wandered around in various counties and had a little savings in his hands, so he returned to Guanzi Village and married Lanhua.

Coincidentally, he became a teacher, so he bought a bicycle, which was considered promising, but he didn't disgrace the Wang family, and everyone who heard it was very happy.

At this time, a serious-faced, strong man of about forty or fifty years old appeared. He was the branch secretary of Wangjiazhuang, and also the village head, the leader of the [Hong] generation, Wang Hongshan.

When Wang Hongshan saw Wang Manyin, he glanced at his tunic suit and bicycle again. He smiled in relief, but immediately put on a straight face and scolded: "Stinky boy, do you still have the face to come back?!"

Wang Manyin's body trembled subconsciously. What he feared most in his predecessor was the patriarch of the Wang family. Almost every child had been scolded by this patriarch.

He turned around and grinned, "Uncle Hongshan, I'm back."

Wang Hongshan snorted coldly and asked, "Did you lose face to our Wang family in the past two years?"

Wang Manyin said decisively: "No."

Wang Hongshan's expression softened, and he nodded, "You're still a member of the Wang family, let's go, put your bicycle away, just in time for Qingming wine."

Wang Manyin nodded, handed over the cloth bag in his hand, and said, "Uncle Hongshan, this is a defective cloth that I found outside. Please share some with the villagers."

Wang Hongshan glanced at the cloth in the cloth bag, and Tong Ling's big eyes flashed a look of surprise. There was so much cloth, it seemed that each family could share a meter of cloth.

Generous!
Wang Hongshan nodded in satisfaction. It's not that he cares about this defective cloth. His Wangjiazhuang still doesn't lack this kind of cloth. The main reason is that he is happy that Wang Manyin has this kind of thought, which means that they have not raised a white-eyed wolf.

The surrounding clansmen also heard Wang Manyin's words, and looked at him more kindly, and several people immediately wanted to drag him to drink.

Wang Hongshan patted Wang Manyin's forehead and shoulder, "Good boy, you did a good job. Since you won't go out to fool around, you should go back to Wangjiazhuang often. It's all your fault for your old dad. Why don't you go to Guanzi Village to hide from debts? It has completely disgraced my royal family!"

As I said before, Grandpa Wang Manyin smoked opium and ruined his family property, and his father was an idiot who owed a lot of gambling debts outside. In the end, he had no choice but to leave Wangjiazhuang and go to Guanzi Village to hide from the debts, and then went to Guanzi Village to hide his debts. Settled home.

Wang Manyin sneered twice, and said something about him in the past.

Wang Hongshan seemed impatient. He helped Wang Manyin put his things away, so he had to gather men from every household to go to the back mountain to worship their ancestors.

On the way, Wang Manyin also quietly told Wang Hongshan about the sour fish, and asked him to look at the ones that took care of him the most.

The back mountain of Wangjiazhuang is specially designated as a cemetery. All members of the Wang family must live in the back mountain after death and accept sacrifices from descendants.

With the accumulation of history, the cemeteries in Houshan have become so large and small that it is hard to tell how many there are at a glance. Tall cypress trees are interspersed in the cemeteries. This environment can also allow the ancestors of the Wang family to rest in peace.

The majestic Wang family man took a hoe and machete to clean up all the weeds and debris in the back mountain, and then took out liquor paper money and so on, and began to sacrifice to the ancestors.

Wang Manyin didn't know much about these things, so he just followed them and it was over. Not to mention, the scene of this large-scale sacrifice was quite shocking.

After the sacrifice, Wang Hongshan stood at the highest place and gave a speech. The main content was to report the current situation of the Wang Family Village to the ancestors of the Wang family, so that they can protect future generations, and at the same time let the villagers always remember that they are members of the Wang family. Dare to lose face of the Wang family.

After this operation, even Wang Manyin had an inexplicable sense of identification with the Wang family, and the clan concept was inexplicably at work.

But there is nothing wrong with it. Although people always have a negative feeling when they mention the clan concept, in fact, in the countryside, the clan is their biggest protection umbrella.

On weekdays when people from Wangjiazhuang went out to do things, when others heard that they were members of the Wang family, they would be cautious and dare not provoke them easily, otherwise the Wang family would soon come to the door with a hoe to make decisions for the clan.

At this time, the sense of security brought by the clan is much more than anything else.

After the sacrifice, the mighty Wang family men returned to the threshing field. At this time, the mothers-in-law and women had already prepared delicious meals.

All are big pot meals, several large buckets of golden corn buns, and cabbage vermicelli in an enamel pot on each table, with a little bit of oily pepper floating in it, which can be regarded as an excellent meal.

In addition, there was a bottle of shochu on each of the men's tables. Everyone pushed glasses to each other, and the sounds of punching, laughing and cursing were intertwined. It was really lively.

Don't worry about not having enough shochu. Next to the corn buns, there are two large white plastic pots, both of which are full of shochu.

Although food is very precious these days, Wangjiazhuang will never forget to make some sorghum wine and corn wine for storage, besides, they are not short of such food.
