From wilderness to palace

Chapter 232 Busyness on the first day of junior high school

Hearing the sound of the first string of firecrackers in the village, Liu Yaozu, who was already an early riser, knew that it was time to open the door and set off firecrackers.Even if he got up very early, he didn't open the door to set off firecrackers.He knew how helpless and entangled it felt to be woken up by the sound of firecrackers.

For those young people who rarely come back to celebrate the New Year after working in other places, staying at home to sleep in during the Spring Festival is also what they look forward to most.It's a pity that when it's New Year's Eve and the first day of junior high school, I'm afraid I don't have much chance to sleep in.

Sure enough, when the first villager set off firecrackers, the whole village seemed to wake up in an instant.Liu Yaozu, who had finished his morning exercise, also lit his own first string of firecrackers like other villagers.

After breakfast, Liu Yaozu also changed his clothes, put the sacrifices he had prepared in the basket, and then walked towards the ancestor's grave.Worshiping ancestors in the morning on the first day of the new year is also a tradition that has continued in Tunzi.

Many villagers who just got up were also very surprised when they saw Liu Yaozu who had gone up the mountain early: "Azu, have you eaten?"

"I ate already, how about you?"

"Not yet! You go first, we will come over later."

In addition to special sacrificial festivals such as Qingming, the ancestral tomb mountain located at the edge of the village is the most lively only on the first day of the new year.But for Liu Yaozu, in addition to his ancestral tomb mountain, he also had to go to the city next.

Not surprisingly, the cemetery in the city will be very lively today.Therefore, Liu Yaozu had to go there early, not wanting to make his mother who stayed there feel lonely.Even if mother likes to be quiet, but today's life is a bit unusual!

Compared with other villagers who have too many tombstones to worship, Liu Yaozu only needs to worship his grandpa and grandma.The remaining ancestors of the Liu family actually have no blood relationship with him.On the contrary, it's the capital city, and he still needs to make a trip then.

Put the prepared sacrifices in front of the tombstones of grandparents, clean up the vicinity of the tombstones, and start burning incense to worship Liu Yaozu, squatting in front of the tombstones and telling some things about last year, as well as some things about his own family.

Although he didn't know if he could hear his grandparents, but Liu Yaozu felt that it would be much more comfortable to talk about it.If the second elder really has a soul in heaven, seeing him like this now, he can feel more at ease!

"Grandpa, don't worry, the Liu family still has me, great-grandfather and ancestors, and I will go to worship every year in the future. If you and the elders don't object, I plan to set up a tomb for you this year. I hope you Don't blame me."

The matter of erecting a tomb for his grandparents in the Liu family cemetery in the imperial capital was also a decision Liu Yaozu made during his memorial service last year.As for his parents, he still thinks forget it.As for Kaoshantun, he still regards it as his hometown!
At the end of Liu Yaozu's sacrifice, many men, women and children also came to the ancestral tomb.The sound of firecrackers from time to time also dissipated the cold atmosphere of the ancestral tomb mountain.The tombstones that were originally covered by heavy snow have now been cleared out.

After finishing these tasks, Liu Yaozu greeted several nearby villagers and then went home carrying the sacrifices he had offered earlier.These sacrifices will be placed in front of the altar later.Wait until tomorrow morning to remove these sacrifices.

Liu Yaocheng, who also accompanied his father up the mountain to worship his ancestors, saw Liu Yaozu who was about to leave, and asked, "Brother Azu, are you done? Are you going to the city later? Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No! You just stay at home, and I'll come back when I go to the city. I'm not a three-year-old kid, it's fine!"

"That's fine! If you need anything, call me anytime."

Liu Yaozu nodded in agreement, returned home and placed the sacrifice in front of the altar, took out another prepared sacrifice, packed it in a homemade food box, went to the yard to start the car, and then went straight to Go to the county cemetery.

Sun Lijun, who also needed to worship his ancestors today, saw the roar of his mobile phone, and quickly took out his mobile phone to check.Seeing the alarm device carried by Liu Yaozu, it was showing that his location was leaving Kaoshantun.

Frowning slightly, he said, "How did he come out of the village today?"

But after thinking about it, he quickly realized that Liu Yaozu should have come to the county town when he left the village.Sun Lijun, who is a bodyguard, naturally also knows some information about Liu Yaozu.But soon, he made a decision.

After greeting his parents, he also drove to the cemetery.Seeing this scene, grandma frowned and said, "Why does he still have to go to work on the first day of the new year today! Will this job be too hard?"

"Damn it, this is my son's job. Isn't it normal to take someone's salary and be controlled by others? Besides, my son's boss is very kind. It's nothing, my son said it earlier, and I'll be back for lunch later." .”

Although the parents were a little disappointed when their son retired from active service, they also felt that it was a good thing for their son to be with them.The most important thing is that after my son comes back, he works locally and can take care of his family.

In addition, when Sun Lijun returned home this year, his income was much higher than before in the army, so the family was naturally happy.Now that you have done this job, shouldn't it be reasonable to try your best?
Besides, the grandson also heard a little bit from his son that the young boss the son wanted to protect was not an ordinary person.Moreover, his son's retirement from active service seems to have something to do with this job.Then this work, of course, has to be more conscientious and dedicated!
When Liu Yaozu drove to the county cemetery and saw Sun Lijun appearing soon, he was also a little surprised and said, "Brother Sun, why are you here? No way! I came to worship my mother, and you made a special trip?"

"It's nothing! I just finished offering sacrifices to my ancestors. When I saw you coming, I just stayed here waiting for you. Nothing happened these two days, right?"

"What's the matter! Staying in the village every day, it's very calm!"

"That's good! Then, what's your plan?"

Facing the inquiry, Liu Yaozu also said directly: "Tomorrow I will stay in the village and not go there. The day after tomorrow, I plan to go to Huyuan to worship my father. After that, I should go to the capital."

"Okay! Then I'll come over tomorrow afternoon!"

"No! You wait for me in the city the day after tomorrow, and I will drive to pick you up then. If Brother Zhou has something to do, forget it!"

"What's the matter with him! This year, he must have been very depressed."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm on a blind date!"

Liu Yaozu also found it very funny when he heard that Zhou Shanhe was arranged on several blind dates by his parents.But he understood that for Zhou Shanhe, who would be 27 years old after the New Year, he had indeed reached the age to get married, start a family and have children.

He was in the army before, and his parents couldn't help even if they wanted to.But now that he has retired and returned to his hometown, his parents will definitely be anxious about his lifelong event.This kind of situation is also very common in the local area. Zhou Shanhe will feel depressed, which is naturally normal!
