The stone archway stood at the entrance of the village. Qin Hao got out of the car and looked up at the stone archway. There were three words "Qinjiazhai" written on the top, and four stone pillars were engraved with couplets. The first couplet was: Yezhan Genealogy Destined to be the wise men of Liufang Township; the second couplet is: Village customs and mountains and rivers bless all generations of children and grandchildren.

Under the stone archway, Qin Hao's parents, uncles and aunts, third uncles and aunts, seventh uncle, uncle Qin Jiang and villagers from Qinjiazhai, old or young, male or female, were gathering together. Looking at the arrival of Qin Hao and his party with a smile on his face.

Qin Hao smiled and waved to everyone while waiting for Mu Xiaoya and Lin Yutong to get off the car.

After that, Qin Hao came to Qin's father and Qin's mother with his arms around them, and greeted everyone with a smile: "Dad, mom, uncle, aunt, third uncle, third aunt, seventh uncle, younger uncle... "

There were many people present, but Qin Hao didn't know them, so he just smiled and nodded to signal to everyone.

Qin's father asked with concern at this time: "Xiao Hao, are you here yet? Why are you here so slowly? Is there nothing going on on the way?"

Qin Hao smiled and explained: "Hey, I should have arrived a long time ago. When I arrived at the expressway exit, the city leaders happened to be greeting me at the expressway exit, so I briefly chatted with the city leaders. This was a little delayed. time..."

When Qinjiazhai was preparing for the Qingming ancestor worship event, it was reported to the city, and relevant leaders also came to inspect it. The policy actually does not allow such large-scale worship activities to be carried out, but considering Qin Hao's identity and Pingcheng City He also wanted to use Qin Hao's influence to boost the economy of Pingcheng City. After a meeting and discussion in the city, he agreed to Qingming ancestor worship activities in Qinjiazhai.

But when he heard that the mayor personally went to the expressway entrance to greet you, a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s next to Qin's father was still very surprised and asked: "The mayor went to the expressway entrance to greet you in person?"

Qin Hao didn't know the person who interrupted, and he didn't know how to call him. The seniority in the village is sometimes confusing. You may see that he is older, but he may be younger, and some may be younger, but he may be older.

So, Qin Hao looked to Qin's father for help. Qin's father understood and hurriedly introduced to Qin Hao: "Xiao Hao, this is the village party secretary of our Qinjiazhai..."

The village party secretary is actually an informal position in China. It does not belong to the administrative establishment, but to the villagers' self-governing organization. It is elected by the villagers. Generally, it is more prestigious in the village. If there is something in the village, it can organize the villagers. People will take charge.

So Qin Hao nodded slightly and took the initiative to shake hands with the village party secretary as a sign of friendship.

Afterwards, Li Zekai, Liang Shishi, and Mrs. Peggy also followed.

Liang Shishi stepped forward, took Qin's mother's arm, and said affectionately: "Godmother, do you miss me?"

Qin's mother was still chatting with her two daughters-in-law, Mu Xiaoya and Lin Yutong. She turned around and saw that it was her goddaughter Liang Shishi. She stretched out her hand and patted the back of Liang Shishi's hand and said with a smile: "Haha, it's Shishi. ..We haven’t seen each other for a few days, and I feel like Shishi has become beautiful again..."

Then, Qin's mother looked behind Liang Shishi and asked with a smile: "Hey, the children didn't come with you?"

Liang Shishi said apologetically: "Well, originally Zekai and I wanted to bring them here, but our old man said that we would take them to the Li family's ancestral graves to worship their ancestors during the Qingming Festival and let them recognize their ancestors and return to the clan, so I had no choice but to let them come with us. They accompanied the old man, but Zekai and I came here... Godmother, you don't mind, do you?"

Qin's mother lightly slapped the back of Liang Shishi's hand, shook her head and said with a smile: "Hey, what are you talking about... Shishi, you have returned to the Li family. The children recognize their ancestors and return to their clan. During the Qingming Festival, they should go to worship their ancestors. ..Why would I mind..."

Seeing that Peggy had arrived with the support of the old housekeeper, Qin Hao introduced to Qin's father and mother: "Mom, Dad, this is Mrs. Rockefeller Peggy, Anne's grandmother..."

Peggy smiled at Qin's father and mother, and then took the initiative to extend her hand to shake hands with them.

Qin's mother was quite enthusiastic. She held Peggy's hand and said with emotion: "You are Annie's grandmother...When Annie was at our house, she talked about you a lot. When I learned that you were ill, Annie and We are all worried..."

Qin's mother looked at Peggy up and down as she spoke, nodded and smiled: "However, judging from your current health, you should be in good health..."

Peggy nodded, put her hand on the back of Qin's mother's hand, and said with a smile: "Well, thanks to your son, Mr. Qin's care, my health is very good now... Annie always follows me after she returns. Speaking of you two elders, when I came here, Anne specially asked me to say hello to you two elders on her behalf."

Qin's mother smiled and asked: "Haha, Annie is doing well now, right? I heard from Xiaohao that Annie has started to help with the family business now?"

"Well, Annie has been in China for more than half a year and has made great progress with Mr. Qin. Now I have handed over all the family business to her. As for me, I just have nothing to do and stroll around... "

Dad Qin finally found the topic at this time, and agreed with it: "Hey, it's okay to have this kind of mentality... When children grow up, they have to be independent... To be honest, we are all half dead. Even if you live a long life, how many more years will you have left? While you can still move, walking around, having fun, and relaxing are better than anything else..."

"Haha, what Mr. Qin said is absolutely true..."

In this way, after everyone exchanged greetings under the Shipai Tower, Qin Hao and his party walked towards the Qinjiazhai together, surrounded by the fellow villagers of Qinjiazhai.

Along the way, Qin's father and the Qinjiazhai branch secretary continued to act as guides for everyone, introducing the history and current situation of Qinjiazhai, as well as the close relationship between the villagers in Qinjiazhai and the Qin family, such as: This family is uncle and brother. , The old man in that family and Grandpa Qin Hao were so much better when they were alive...

While Qin Hao was listening, he also greeted the villagers in a timely manner and said hello...

After walking for a short time, everyone came to the center of Qinjiazhai, a square covering an area of ​​more than 30 acres. The ground was paved with bluestone and red bricks. It looked like it had been built not long ago. There were many installations on the square. There are few fitness facilities for villagers to exercise and relax here.

At this time, Qin Hao's third uncle stepped forward and said, "Xiao Hao, come and inspect it to see if the quality of the project done by third uncle is good, right?"

Qin Hao laughed and said: "Haha, the third uncle is joking. I have heard from my dad that the third uncle has contributed a lot to the project of rebuilding the ancestral hall. The quality of the project must be good..."

Everyone continued to move forward and saw the Qin family ancestral hall facing north and south of the square.

Qin Hao and his party stopped to watch and saw that the appearance of the ancestral hall looked very grand. The main door was an archway-style cave door with a stone embedded in the middle with the four words "Qin Family Ancestral Hall" engraved on it. The round arches going down were also made of stone. There are the inscriptions "Guangqian" and "Yuhou" on each side door.

There are three entrances to the ancestral hall, with the main entrance in the middle and side entrances on both sides.The top of the door is triangular, with a small circular hollow pattern window underneath. The door body is all in the shape of an arch, and the overall look is quite geometric.

The three gates have white reliefs with flowers, birds, and figures, which are extremely exquisite and gorgeous.

Qin Hao and others entered through the main entrance, and saw that the main building of the ancestral hall was made of brick and wood, with large stones as the foundation stone. On the foundation stone, bricks were arranged regularly, with aisles on the sides and bluestone paving the floor.

In the ancestral hall, there are also Xiangtang, theater building, east and west wing corridors, etc. Although they have just been renovated, they still look full of age.

The Xiangtang is also called the Sacrifice Hall, and after the Sacrifice Hall is the sleeping hall, which is on the same central axis as the gate.

When Qin Hao and his party entered the memorial hall, the first thing they saw was a huge altar with tablets of the Qin family's ancestors placed on it. Behind the altar was the family genealogy, and on the wall behind the altar hung a memorial tablet of the Qin family. Portraits of family ancestors - Qinyue people.

On both sides of the altar are several rows of benches where family members can rest and communicate.

There are also some old family photos and period plaques hung on the walls.

At this time, the seventh uncle, the oldest in the Qin family, with the support of his younger uncle Qin Jiang, came to the altar, took three incense sticks, handed them to Qin Hao and said: "Xiao Hao, come, first put incense sticks on the ancestors." ..."

Worshiping ancestors belongs to traditional culture, and Chinese people are more particular about observing rules. Of these three incense sticks, the first one is for worshiping heaven, the second one is for worshiping earth, and the third one is for worshiping one's ancestors.

Qin Hao stepped forward and took the incense. Following the instructions of his seventh uncle, he lit it and came to the mat. He held the incense at the level of his forehead with both hands and bowed. Then he went to the incense burner and placed the incense with his left hand.

The order of adding incense is also particular, with the middle incense first, the left incense next, and the right incense last.

After offering incense, Qin Hao knelt on the futon and prayed before the ceremony was over.

Since tomorrow is the official ancestor worship ceremony, Qin Hao left the ancestral hall with everyone after offering incense to his ancestors.

Everyone walked through the central square of Qinjiazhai and arrived at the Qin family's old house. After Qin's father introduced him, Qin Hao learned that this was the place where he was born.

The exterior walls of this compound are also made of blue bricks, and moss grows in the gaps between the bricks...

Originally, the party secretary of Qinjiazhai thought of tidying up the compound before Qin Hao arrived, but Qin's father said that it looked more primitive, and Qin Hao and the others did not plan to live in the old house, so they did not touch it. In the old house, the courtyard and rooms were only slightly cleaned and tidied up.

The doors to the courtyard are two heavy wooden doors with exquisite carvings. Although the color of the patterns has become mottled over time, it does not affect its beauty at all.

There is also a pair of red lanterns hanging on the door with the word "福" written on them.

Qin Hao entered the courtyard and saw a spacious courtyard. There was a well in the courtyard, and there was a dragon head carved on the stone beside the well. However, no one had lived in it for a long time, and the well had dried up.

There are two rows of tall wooden eaves on both sides of the courtyard. There are several stone benches and wooden chairs under the eaves for family and guests to rest.

In one corner of the courtyard, it looked like a vegetable garden. It must have been a place where various vegetables were grown in the past;

In the other corner is a garden filled with all kinds of flowers, a colorful and fragrant scene.

Mu Xiaoya and Lin Yutong couldn't help but take out their mobile phones and take pictures of the courtyard of the old house...

The morning passed quickly, and it was noon after everyone wandered around the village.

Qin Hao was originally worried that Peggy and Li Zekai were not used to the dining environment in the village, and wanted to take them to the city for dinner. However, at the warm invitation of the village party secretary, the group came to a three-story self-built building in the village near the national highway. Small building hotel.

On the way, the village party secretary enthusiastically introduced: "Our place is small, and there is only one relatively high-end hotel in Shilibaxiang. It is a restaurant opened by people in our village. Although it does not look impressive, the ingredients are guaranteed to be The freshest... Weddings, funerals, weddings and weddings in the village, weddings and weddings, etc. will all come here to hold banquets... You guys have a look first, if you are not used to it, then we will go to the city..."

Qin Hao was not the kind of hypocritical person. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, Uncle Qin is joking. What's wrong with this..."

Father Qin also said: "Yes, our Xiaohao is not that kind of hypocritical person..."

While talking, Qin Hao and his party followed the village party secretary into the hotel. Although the interior decoration of the hotel is not gorgeous, it is still clean. There are also some paintings of mountains, forests and water scenes hanging on the walls, giving people a simple and natural feel. a feeling of.

Qin Hao, Li Zekai, Qin's father, uncle, third uncle, brother-in-law Qin Jiang, seventh uncle and other men came to sit down in a private room. Peggy, Qin's mother, eldest aunt, third aunt, Mu Xiaoya, Lin Yutong, Liang Shishi and others The women were in another private room.

This can be regarded as a custom in the village. During festivals and other events, there are always men at one table and women at another table. This is not caused by the idea that men are superior to women, but that when men are together, they inevitably smoke and drink. When there are women, I always find it hard to let go and not have fun when I'm there.

The other villagers also entered the hotel together, some in private rooms and some in the lobby. After a while, the self-built three-story hotel was full.

Immediately afterwards, the hotel's waiters began to serve the dishes. They said they were waiters, but in fact they were 50-[-]-year-old aunts from the village who came to help. They were all invisible and very warm and familiar.

The village party secretary was worried that Qin Hao and his guests would not be used to it, so he acted as a waiter and personally brought the dishes to the table one after another, and introduced the names of the dishes to everyone...

When the food was almost served, the branch secretary looked at everyone and asked with a smile on his face: "Hey, what do you guys want to drink at noon? Although our Pingcheng place is small, it has its own characteristics. This liquor has Pingcheng ancient brew, which is our Pingcheng. Although the local wine is not as good as Moutai, it is also pure grain wine and the quality is absolutely guaranteed..."

Although the party secretary said this to everyone present, his eyes finally fell on Qin Hao, waiting for Qin Hao to speak.

Qin Hao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, since you guys have come to Pingcheng, you naturally have to try our Pingcheng specialties. Let's drink Pingcheng ancient wine today..."

Li Zekai on the side also said: "Yes, it is rare to come to Pingcheng once, so you must try this Pingcheng specialty wine to make the trip worthwhile..."

Seeing that Qin Hao and Li Zekai, the two big bosses, had no airs of bosses at all, the village party secretary felt much relieved, and then he called the hotel owner to start serving wine.

The village party secretary opened the wine, poured it for everyone, then raised the wine glass and suggested: "Everyone, I will do it first as a courtesy. Welcome everyone to our Qinjiazhai. You guys will eat well and drink well..."

The village party secretary's wine speech was very down-to-earth, and everyone raised their glasses one after another, clinking glasses with each other and drinking them down in one gulp. The atmosphere instantly became lively.
