Shang Xi heard Cheng Youning talking to Cheng Feng in a daze, going back and forth. Cheng Youning's questions came one after another, like a hundred thousand questions. She had no choice but not to open her eyes even a crack. The father and son were talking to each other. She didn't see any of them clearly because she didn't want to turn over, "What time is it?"

Cheng Feng said: "It's time to get up."

This was the last thing she wanted to hear.

Although I didn't want to move, I still got up because there was something important today.

Because it is an ancestor worship ceremony, regardless of whether the dress is decent or not, a solemn sense of ceremony is still required. This is respect for the Wan family and respect for the deceased ancestors.

Shang Xi had to do all the homework he had to do, and he couldn't do embarrassing things in any situation.

These clothes were specially chosen by Shang Xi. Although it was a backward era, she couldn't figure out the importance of dressing here. She had always dressed how to look good, but in order to attend this occasion without being laughed at, she still asked for advice. Let’s talk about the misunderstanding at home and the owner of the clothing store. Sister Wu has worked in a wealthy family for many years. She knows what rich people pay attention to, so she tells her what kind of clothes to buy. The owner of the clothing store will do it even more. Business, knowing that she was a well-known good person in Nancheng, she said she wanted to give Shang Xi a bargain, but the clothes she brought out were all the most expensive. Who didn't know that Shang Xi was rich.

The three members of the family put on the clothes they had prepared in advance. Although the color was a bit darker, they looked very good-tempered. Sister Wu said that there must be more than just them in Wanfu today, and there are still prestigious people in the clan. I want to invite you.

Thinking of this, Shang Xi cleaned himself up even faster. It would be too rude to be late on such a day.

Then they rushed to Wanjia. The people from Wanjia were earlier than them and were already waiting at the gate. Fortunately, they were not late.

Cheng Feng asked Shang Xi in a low voice: "Will you be scared when you go to the destination in a while?"

Shang Xi lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Your son is not afraid, so what should I be afraid of?"

Cheng Feng glanced at Cheng Youning, who didn't understand anything, and said with a smile: "He is a born calf and is not afraid of tigers. He doesn't know what fear is."

Shang Xi thinks about it, it's true that as long as this child eats well and drinks well, he won't have any worries at all. However, he also thinks and thinks about things, but an adult like her really doesn't know that such a little person has so many seeds in his head. What, unless he can read minds.

She was not afraid of visiting graves at all. She had done it before. Every year during the Qingming Festival, the whole family would go to visit graves. But when she came here, she never did it again.

Tombs here are very common. You can see them in the fields. Some people burn a pile of paper during festivals. There are also many tombs that have become ownerless. Except for a small hill that is not much higher than the ground, you can tell. It is a grave, and it is difficult to see anything else. I believe that after a few more years of baptism, this hillock will eventually become flat ground.

Even if Shang Xi passes by a tomb, he is not afraid at all. People are dead, what else can there be except a body? Maybe the body has been decomposed by the microorganisms in the ground and nothing is left.

However, the Wan family's ancestral graves are well protected. It can be seen that they are maintained regularly, and there are not even weeds around them.

I have never seen Shang Xi, the ancestor worshipper of this era, but as long as she remembers one thing, she can learn what others do.

At this time, she and Bai Songxue were kneeling at the back side by side, and Cheng Youning was kneeling in front of them. This shows how low the status of women here is. Shang Xi didn't need to do anything during the whole process, just listen to Mr. Wan's report on the family affairs. Just give it to his ancestors. The most important thing he talked about was the return of Cheng Feng and Cheng Youning to the Wan family. When he was excited, Mr. Wan would shed tears and look at Mrs. Wan who was crying too. With Bai Songxue, she really couldn't cooperate with this. She didn't even know who was buried underneath, so she couldn't shed any tears at all, so she just lowered her head and listened silently to pass the time.

Just when Shang Xi thought it was about to end, Mr. Wan would surprise her.

I don't know which of Mr. Wan's words touched him. He showed his true feelings and burst into tears again. Mrs. Wan was even worse, she had already burst into tears.

Hey!

The ceremony was finally over. Because she never knelt down, her legs were numb when she stood up. If Bai Songxue hadn't helped her up, she would have easily fallen to the ground.

"Thank you."

Bai Songxue asked with concern: "Are you okay?" This person's voice and pitch were just right. She was worthy of coming from a wealthy family. Listening to her voice, you could feel a sense of pleasure. Shang Xi really felt good for Wan Baiye. I feel regretful, don’t you feel regretful that I am separated from such a good woman?

"It's okay, it's just that my legs are numb." Shang Xi squeezed his legs secretly with his hands so that no one else could see. This is not the time for you to cry out that you are tired. Everyone's expressions were solemn, and they were still in this solemn etiquette. When she comes out, if she shows the slightest impatience, it will definitely appear that she is very uneducated. In this scene, she has to pretend to the end. She is not worried or cares that she will be betrayed by Bai Songxue and Wanwanqian. She can't compare, but she can't be too far behind everyone else.

But she still couldn't help asking weakly: "Can I go home next?"

Bai Songxue held her arm tightly and whispered, "There are more important things."

"whats the matter?"

"You and your family of three are going to be included in the family tree."

In Shang Xi's understanding, only dead people can be included in the family tree. Do living people also need to be included? Is she too ignorant or has no knowledge?

"Is this important?"

"Of course, if you are included in the family tree, you will be members of our Lao Wan family."

Shang Xi thought for a while and said, "I have a foreign surname, so I shouldn't have to enter it in the family tree." The last thing she wanted in her heart was to become a family with so-and-so. Here, so-and-so didn't have anyone like this, and it felt like there would be a lot more out of thin air. His worldliness has bound her for a long time.

She had gradually grown from a small family of two people with Cheng Feng to a family of three. She thought that was it. Now the definition of this family has changed. She no longer knows how many people there are in this family, but in her heart There are still only three people in a real family. The other people are both relatives and outsiders. After all, they will not be as close as she and Cheng Feng without any grudges.

Bai Songxue took her arm and said secretly: "You can't say such things. Your parents will be unhappy if they hear them." Her voice was very low, and she looked like a thief. Shang Xi could not help but listen clearly.

What Shang Xi was thinking was, I can't always make them happy, so she said, "What if I don't join the club?"
