My village can't be like this

Chapter 32 Worshiping Ancestors (Please collect and recommend)
In the end, Li Hongbin didn't need the bait he brought, and distributed some of the earthworms brought by Zhang An.

After that, the fish began to be caught. The earthworms soaked in the spring water of the space, with the breath of space, the fish in the river could not take the bait by smelling it, they all lined up to take the bait.

In fact, the bait brought by Li Hongbin was not bad, but he was not sure how much water to put in, so it didn't work.

After trying it, I found that earthworms are too enjoyable to use, so why use my own mixed bait?

The two stayed by the river all afternoon, and the kegs they brought were full.

It may be that the chosen place is not right, and there are not many big fish caught, basically the size of a catty or two catties.

On the way, Li Hongbin also caught a water snake. Zhang An smiled and said that fishers will never fly hahahaha.

Except for a few larger fish, all the other fish were released into the river.

Zhang An no longer looks down on such a large amount of fish, and he doesn't want to take it back. There are still a dense pile of fish in the space.

And Li Hongbin was completely caught by Zhang Anyang. Such fish is not as delicious as Zhang An's family, so naturally he would not take it back.

Back home, it was past five o'clock, today Zhang An called the second and third uncle's home.

At this time, my mother and two aunts are busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.

Originally, Zhou Lan wanted to help, but Zhang An's mother made her sit down. How could she let the guests who came to her house work at home? This is not the way of hospitality.

Knowing that Li Hongbin's family likes to eat the squid that Zhang An raises in the pond, they also caught one and steamed it at night.

During dinner, the second grandpa brought the baby he made.

Zhang Jianguo and his brothers actually didn't feel any difference in this kind of wine, let alone Li Hongbin who was only in his early thirties.

Only a few old men slammed their mouths after drinking it.

Zhang An knew that what was in this jar was soaked with Huang Jing that was steamed and sun-dried by the second grandpa.

After a meal, regardless of adults or children, the host and guest can enjoy themselves.

It was getting dark early in spring, so Li Hongbin's family went back before it was getting dark.

Although the town is far away, after the road is repaired, it will only take more than 20 minutes to drive, so I am not too polite to persuade you to stay.

. . . .

In the evening, Wang Fang distributed some of the things Zhou Lan brought to several families, and they were all canned fruits and the like.

Taking advantage of the time when everyone was there, Zhang Jianguo proposed to go up the mountain the next day to pay homage to Zhang An's late grandparents.

Everyone has no opinion. This matter is an unwritten rule in the countryside.

Every year during Chinese New Year, Qingming Festival, and Zhongyuan Festival, we worship the ancestors in the family.

This is a manifestation of the mountain people's emphasis on filial piety.

If there is no one to organize it, I will go to my own home. I will go there anyway. It is just that there is an organization at home. If there are more people going, it will be lively, and others will look good.

Having more people is not only a matter of excitement, but it can also show the outside world that the family is prosperous.

If you go alone, others will say that there is no one in the family, so in this kind of matter, normally the family will be very united.

The next day Wang Fang got up and started to work, because it was organized by Zhang An's father, Zhang Jianguo, so today the whole family must settle for food at Zhang An's house.

The second aunt and the third aunt also came to help early.

In the main room, Zhang Jianguo typed out the white paper he bought with a tool, and made it into a paper streamer for hanging green on the mountain later.

The second uncle and the third uncle also went out to the mountain and cut some slender branches and came back.

After everyone finished their lunch, the whole family set out, carrying baskets full of sacrifices and incense sticks and paper cannons.

First, when they came to the grave of Zhang An's grandparents, the adults picked up sickles and cut down the surrounding weeds and wild trees.

Clean up the surrounding area, otherwise it will be surrounded by these weeds in a few years.

Because Zhang An's grandparents have passed away for many years, they have to add soil every year to worship.

The meaning of adding soil is to repair the surroundings of the tombs, because many tombs are too old, if no soil is added, there will only be a bag of soil left over time.

Adding soil is equivalent to repairing the residence of the deceased old people, and these are very particular.

The customs in Changqing Village are not that troublesome, and it doesn't say that children cannot go with pregnant women.

These do not exist, because the elderly in the family definitely hope that their children and grandchildren will be full and filial to their grandchildren.

Just pay attention to when adding soil, the soil should be clean, and don't bring messy dirt.

When the tombs of the two old men were cleaned up, they looked almost the same as last year.

We are about to start taking out the wrapped paper flags and hanging them in green.

A branch with leaves on it is tied with a wrapped paper streamer, and then inserted on the grave.

This is to tell others that there are still people in the family, and the more paper banners hung, the more prosperous the family.

Of course, no one will deliberately hang a lot of these things, and the whole family will hang one.

For example, today, Zhang An hangs one, and Zhang An's second uncle and third uncle's family also hangs one.

Therefore, the tombs of many people will be full of paper streamers. This is because there are many people in the family and many people are separated.

Then began to light candles and offer incense, and display the various offerings brought.

The family kowtowed to the old people one by one, and burned the paper money.

Generally, the adults will also pray that the old people in the sky will bless their families to be safe and healthy, and they are all beautiful prayers anyway.

Of course, only when the living are living a good life will people come to worship in the coming year.

If there is no one in the family, and some families are extinct, the tomb will weather and disappear for at most ten years, and no one will remember who this family is by then.

After paying homage to Zhang An's grandparents, everyone set off to other places to pay homage to the older generation.

Anyway, it takes about half a day to walk around in a circle, and some big names in the family comparison may not be enough for one day.

After dinner in the evening, everyone went back to their respective homes when it got dark.

From the hustle and bustle of the day, it has returned to cleanliness.

The weather has been pretty good for the past few days, and the temperature has been rising. As long as it doesn't return to spring, it probably won't be cold anymore.

Zhang An has cultivated a batch of small saplings through cuttings in the space.

He plans to clear out the half acre of land next to the garden in the next two days, and then plant cherry trees.

Now Changqing Village has very convenient transportation to the town. If there is a car, it only takes more than an hour to go to the county seat.

When the time comes to grow some fruits and vegetables at home, even if no one comes to harvest them, at worst, I can find a way to get them in the city and sell them myself.

And the small deer in the space has grown into a big deer now, Zhang An was going to find a chance to let it go, originally thinking of saving its life, but after putting it in, Zhang An forgot about it.

It will definitely miss its family in this space, and a deer will definitely be lonely.

If Shanlu knew what Zhang An was thinking at this time, he would definitely shout, I am not alone, I don’t want to be home, I just want to stay here, this is my home, don’t drive me away.
