Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Some naughty children were beaten in the market, and some naughty children were beaten in the village.

Not to mention that people who celebrate the Chinese New Year don’t spank their children, this is not even the 29th of the New Year.

On the twenty-ninth day of the year, we first go to the ancestral graves to offer sacrifices, and give banquets and pocket money to our ancestors; on the thirty-ninth day of the year, the ancestral hall is opened, and men from all branches gather in the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.

In the past two days until the fifth day of the first lunar month, children are not in the mood to be beaten or scolded, and they have to say auspicious words to make things better, and the adults are all so busy that they hit the back of the head with their heels.

For example, women cannot participate in ancestor worship ceremonies, but that doesn't mean they don't have to do anything. They have their own rituals, which are preparations.

Not just anyone can get involved in this work. For example, Aunt Cai did not wash the wine cups, chopsticks, and dishes used for sacrifices, but Mrs. Liu and her two daughters-in-law washed them personally.

Mrs. Liu is busier than her two daughters-in-law. She is not yet twenty-nine years old, so she has to prepare the mutton, pork, chicken and fish for ancestor worship early.

At the same time, no matter which household in the village, the kitchen is the busiest, because from the first to the fifth day of the first lunar month, the stove is not turned on and the food must be prepared.

It took two days of hard work to prepare.

On the twenty-ninth day of the year, at Mao hour, the Gu family and the Zhou family were in full swing. They changed the door gods, couplets, newly painted peach charms, and put up window grilles.

I don't think it's Gu Erzhu and his wife, or Zhou Shunshun and his wife. Now they are either separated or adopted, so they want to have a good year.

It’s New Year’s Eve when every window in the front and back yards of the house is decorated with window grilles, and everything is filled with joy. Then the ancestors are given banquets and pocket money.

With the sound of firecrackers bidding farewell to the old year, New Year's Eve has finally arrived.

On this day, not only the old Gu family, but also the old Zhou family, the head of the family had not yet opened the ancestral hall. When the big bell rang, he would take his son, grandson and other men to the ancestral hall.

It would be great fun to wait until the firecrackers were set off to open the ancestral hall. An unfilial descendant would at least have to wait until this day in the new year to see if he could escape.

If he is unlucky, he may be talked about by his clan members for the rest of his life, and his ancestors and clans will be kept waiting for him even after he opens the ancestral hall on his thirties.

Thursday will be the New Year this year, and the benefits of adoption will come immediately.

He and Zhou Xiucai are now living in the same room.

Zhou Xiucai's only son and daughter-in-law were afraid that they would not know how to make outsiders laugh, so they reminded him and his wife of everything and made arrangements well in advance.

Gu Erzhu knew very well that his father liked to put on airs and had to wait for the big clock to ring before going out every year. This year he went to say hello in advance.

When the father is here, even if the family is separated, it is unfilial for his son to dare to abandon me and just take his son and grandson directly to the ancestral hall.

Therefore, before noon, he took his son and grandson to the old man's home to wait. Mr. Gu then led the team, and even his grandson went to the ancestral hall in an orderly manner from eldest to youngest.

Gu Wenxuan thought it was funny that Dalang was still in front after the family was divided, but it didn't take long for him to discover that the old man was not just partial this time.

When the clan leader presided over and all the men offered incense and saluted their ancestors in batches, when they arrived at the eldest room, which was his great-grandfather's branch, Gu Dalang had to line up in front of his eldest brother.

It's not because Gu Dalang is the eldest grandson. His great-grandfather's "literary" generation is not yet Gu Dalang's turn to be the eldest. The eldest grandson of the eldest and second eldest family members is at least one year older than Gu Dalang.

The sacrifice is completed.

Because Gu Sanzhu and Gu Laosi have not yet moved out of the old home, they are different from the new year. Mr. Gu has announced two days in advance that they will have the New Year's Eve dinner together this year.

It was Chinese New Year, so Gu Erzhu didn't dare to offend him, so he offered to eat early.

Looking back, the old man didn't dare to confront her anymore. Although he felt a little unhappy, he nodded when Mrs. Gu agreed that it was good to eat early.

The whole family once again gathered in the hall of the upper room of the old home.

The dishes are good.

Mrs. Liu is not stingy.

A table was brought. In addition, Gu Laosi added half a fan of mutton, two chickens and ten kilograms of white noodles, and Gu Laosan added a few fish and five kilograms of pork. Six tables were filled to the brim.

Gu Erzhu found that he was a little out of tune with everyone in his family, probably because of the family separation, but it did not affect the atmosphere.

The family didn't eat much, but it was considered a feast of wine and a feast of food.

The banquet has never started, and it can be regarded as more than an hour before the banquet is over.

Arrive home and continue the New Year’s Eve dinner.

The New Year's Eve dinner this time was completely different. They were eating, chatting and joking. There seemed to be no rules, but it couldn't be more enjoyable.

Stay up late.

Having fun again.

When Gu Erzhu clapped his thigh and hummed a verse, Gu Wenxuan sang along, and Ma Shan immediately took her son's snare drum and played it to add to the fun.

Mrs. Liu also came to Yaxing, handed Gu Erlang a flute, and asked Zhou Banxia to come over with the piano. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took turns playing the piano, and Gu Erzhu danced the sword.

Little Changsuo was so happy that his little hands were almost red. The whole family just played without any sleepiness until Uncle Cai came and shouted that it was time to shoot firecrackers. Only then did they realize that it was almost midnight.

Ate dumplings.

At dawn, there were still people who wanted to go out and go around the whole village to pay New Year greetings. Gu Erzhu quickly announced that everyone would go back to their rooms to rest, and everyone would be woken up by midnight.

As a grandfather, he is still very dignified. After hearing this, Xiao Changsuo immediately looked at his little aunt, and closed his eyes when his father Gu Erlang held him in his arms.

Entering the east wing, he was giggling like a kid. When he got to the kang, he didn't forget what his little aunt secretly told him. There were many good things under the little pillow.

Wow ~

So many red envelopes, so many red boxes, Dad, I have so many gifts, what I said is true.

Indeed a lot.

There is no way a small pillow can cover her.

The child's uncle and aunt alone were afraid that the New Year's money for their eldest nephew would be short, which included red envelopes, red purses, and red gift boxes.

Moreover, he was very careful, for fear that the child would not know what to put in his mouth when he was young, so he even sewed the red purse on.

Ma Shan didn't know what was in her purse, but she heard Zhou Banxia tell her to put it under the child's pillow overnight, and it looked like silver melon seeds to the touch.

After all, she saw Sanya returning from the city two days ago in exchange for a box of copper coins and a bag of silver melon seeds. She said they had just gotten married and the gifts she received were not small.

For example, the grandchildren of Uncle Yun's family, regardless of whether they bring their children to visit them during the first month of the year, the young couple will definitely go to visit them, and they won't be able to give them any copper coins.

There are also several children from Zhou Xiucai's family. If the Zhao family brings their children to the house during the first month of the year, they should prepare more to keep and give red envelopes to relatives during the New Year.

"This brother and sister."

Gu Erlang shook his head and smiled, "He is generous, filial, and very rare. He always thinks about you, my sister-in-law, for fear that you will suffer a loss.

She did this purely for her young couple.

I was worried that you would see that I had prepared it for my family, and I was afraid that you might also prepare it, so I told you this on purpose. "

"You don't need to tell me." Ma Shan blinked happily, "I knew it earlier. She bought me all the white fungus and red dates I eat now."

Gu Erlang couldn't help laughing, "She's no worse than her biological sisters."
