Every year when I enter the ancestral hall, I don’t know what the tradition is. Everyone is uniformly dressed in a black Mao suit and looks very serious.

Sang Li rarely wore black on this day. She wore a long black velvet skirt and a black wool coat. Maybe it was because of the genetic reagent that she wore, but she didn't feel cold no matter what she wore.

Her mother was still worried about her catching a cold, saying she would put a camel-colored scarf on her when she went out.

Sang Li followed Sang's father to the ancestral hall on high heels. The ancestral hall should have been renovated and was very grand. Not only was the house large, there was a very open space in front of it, and four dragon pillars were built on the four corners. This was also not seen in modern times. People manage.

Sang Li thought that in ancient times, an ancestral building of this size would not be charged with disrespect.

Although she thought so, she still felt satisfied looking at the tall Qilin and the exquisite roof beams, which made her look forward to her manor even more.

Speaking of which, I haven't gone to see how her manor is doing in a few days since I came back, but I won't be able to see it now because she stopped work on the manor a month before the Chinese New Year, and the designer also went back to celebrate the New Year.

When Sang Li and his father arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, many people were already waiting in the open space outside the ancestral hall.

When these people saw the two coming, they all came over to say hello to Sang Zhongnian. Sang Li could only smile and keep saying hello.

When Sang Li's face was about to freeze with laughter, two old men with good spirits came over. Sang Li breathed a sigh of relief silently. Hey, being too rare is also a burden.

Xuan Bao rolled his eyes secretly as he looked at it. It felt that the host was in a very happy mood, but it was very expressive and did not bubble up.

"Li Yatou is here, you can follow me later." An old man looked at Sang Li and said with a smile on his face.

"I got it, Fifth Grandpa." This man is the captain of their team and her grandfather's brother.

Then he said hello to the people on the side: "Uncle, I wish you New Year's greetings in advance."

"Okay, let's go, come in quickly, you still have to pay for the paper." Sang Aiguo greeted everyone into the ancestral hall. The place is also big, otherwise the hundreds of people would not be able to accommodate it.

The whole process is actually similar to offering food to ancestors at home, except that offering food is changed to offering paper money.

The patriarch took the lead and gave a big push, and then recited the names of the predecessors and patriarchs of each generation on the family tree.

Sang Li discovered that their clan actually had a princess, a prime minister, and a general two hundred years ago, which was really amazing.

After reciting the names of people with meritorious deeds and status, the clan leaders of each generation began, and then there was a series of long sacrificial words.

Taoist priests were also invited to chant sutras, and they would start to come forward one by one, burn incense, burn paper money, and kowtow.

Not everyone can go forward and kowtow. In previous years, the captain of a team would go, and everyone else would just kowtow three times outside after the process was completed.

This year Sang Li was also in the procession of offering incense. Among the people in the row, Sang Li, a young girl, stood out particularly. Moreover, the clan leader asked her to step forward first.

Seeing the red wooden signs in front of him, Sangli was still a little nervous. He respectfully offered incense and kowtowed, then took a knife of paper money from the patriarch's hand and put it into the brazier.

In an instant, the flames climbed onto the paper, and in an instant the paper turned into ashes and flew upwards.

Her father, because she was also in the incense-burning team this year, waited for her father to finish the incense-burning process and then the two of them went home.

When they came out, all the uncles and uncles looked at Sang's father with envy in their eyes. Although Sang Li couldn't understand this envy, he was also happy when he saw the proud and happy look on his father's face.

After returning home, Sang Zhongnian ran to talk to Sang's mother.

"Ahua, you haven't seen it. Those people who usually chat with me looked at me today. How can I describe it? Well, they looked envious, jealous, and hateful. Hahaha!"

Xu Ronghua couldn't help listening to the words repeated for who knows how many times: "You can do it, I've drunk you like this without drinking. You haven't taken advantage of your daughter, otherwise you would still be in the ancestral hall now." They’re waiting to kowtow outside.”

As he spoke, he rolled his eyes at Sang's father: "Go and see how the soup in the kitchen is doing."

"Okay, you go to the Spring Festival Gala with the kids, and I'll get some snacks and fruits." Then he went to the kitchen.

Sang Li and Sang Bao were sitting boredly on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala.

"This party is getting more and more boring every year. Sang Li, go get the table and call your parents to play cards together later." Sang Li ordered his younger brother very smoothly while chewing melon seeds.

Sangpai got up and went out to move things. "Sister, I won't move the electric table. I'll do it manually later."

The electric table was too difficult to move, Sangpai shouted outside.

"alright."

"I just like to manually code the cards. Electric ones can't show my good luck." Xu Ronghua said while rubbing the cards.

The four of them just listened to the Spring Festival Gala and played mahjong.

The more I beat Sangli, the sadder it becomes. It has been two hours, except for the little beard. There are seven pairs of them, and they have not touched the beard once.

She was really lucky like shit, her dad couldn't even feed her the cards, and she kept blowing fire. She really would never play again in the future, it was so uncomfortable.

"Thirty thousand." Sang Li looked at another useless card and played it out weakly.

"Hu, just touch Hu." Sang Bian calmly poured down the cards in front of him.

"I won't play any more. I'm so lucky that I can't sleep anymore." It's really to the point where I can't even win by counting cards.

[Haha, host, I told you everything, but you didn’t believe it just now. ]

[How do I know that my hands smell so bad? ]

"If you don't want to play, don't play. My good daughter, are you hungry? Dad will get you some fish noodles to eat." Sang Zhongnian quickly comforted her.

"Hahaha, Lili, you better not touch mahjong in the future, your skills are rare." Xu Ronghua joked with a smile, not worried about his daughter's young mind.

"Humph, Mom, don't talk about me either. You are the only one who has fired the gun today besides me, and your luck isn't much better."

The two of them were joking back and forth, and they stopped fighting until Sang Zhongnian brought the fish noodles.

Because they wanted to stay up late, the four of them continued to have fun, playing chess, backgammon, go, and later playing flying chess.

Until the New Year's countdown came from the TV, 10,9, 1,.....

Then the sound of firecrackers began to sound outside, followed by the continuous sound of fireworks. Sang Zhongnian also set off the fireworks that had been prepared long ago.

Sang Li quickly ran to the top of the building and watched the clusters of fireworks competing to bloom in the dark sky. The beauty of that moment.

The fireworks all over the sky lit up the sky. It was really beautiful. Sang Li sighed with emotion, hiding the fireworks that kept exploding in the night sky.

Although the fireworks were short-lived, I couldn't help but indulge in them every time I saw them. Sang Li was just watching when he heard Sang Bao calling him.

"Sister, your phone keeps ringing." Sang Bian came over with the phone and handed it to her.

Sang Li took the phone and was surprised when he saw the notes on the phone.
