Shhh!I have a town!

During the Qingming Festival, it rains heavily, and passers-by on the road want to die.

Although Qinjiabao did not choose Qingming Festival as the day to worship ancestors in Qinjiabao, Tiangong still sold the face of many villagers in Qinjiabao. The peach trees that have bloomed on both sides, the red peach blossoms are full of branches, and the air seems to have a sweet fragrance.The tender grass that has been wet by the rain is seen from afar.The entire Qinjiabao was shrouded in mist and mist, looking sad and solemn!

However, the mood of many villagers in Qinjiabao is brisk and clear. In the eyes of everyone in Qinjiabao, worshiping ancestors is not to mourn the autumn and hurt the spring, but to report to the ancestors that their year What an achievement!It turned out that I had a bad life and felt ashamed to face my ancestors. When I saw my ancestors, I felt that I was incompetent!Now life in Qinjiabao is getting better and better, everyone's faces are full of joy, and they won't be sad for spring and autumn!

Going to the grave is a man's thing, and girls generally don't need to participate, but there are always some exceptions, such as parents who can't come back when they go out, and only daughters who are studying in the county for a day!At this time, even a girl alone has to come to participate in the ancestor worship activities in the ancestral hall on behalf of her parents.

Due to Qin Le's intervention this year, the incense candles that were originally prepared were reduced by half, and changed to presenting flowers!Working in the village all year round, facing the loess and back to the sky, these simple old men always feel awkward.From their point of view, it is women's business to serve flowers and weeds, and it always feels a bit weird for an old man to hold a bouquet of flowers like this!

Qin Le smiled and watched the uncomfortable uncle gritted his teeth, holding the bouquet was like going to the grave with a grenade, his hands and feet were all wrong!But this is still the first step. As long as the atmosphere is changed, the road ahead for Qinjiabao will only become wider and wider. If the villagers can let go of their minds, money will continue to roll in!

Qin Le and Shen Mingliang were brought together by Grandpa Qin and Father Qin to the alley. Qin Le was holding a bouquet, and Shen Mingliang silently carried the food box prepared by Grandma Qin.This food box is not the same as the ancient pull-style food box. This container is called a holding box in the dialect of Qinjiabao, and it is specially used for worshiping ancestors.There are paper money for joss sticks inside, newly bought bowls and plates of various colors, bowls and chopsticks, and cold noodles carefully prepared by housewives in blue and white porcelain bowls.This is also the staple food of the Cold Food Banquet. Qin Le's home is of course made by Qin Le.

First, knead the noodles into a smooth dough, roll them into thin noodles, and then steam them in a pan. After coming down, smear them with freshly squeezed sunflower oil, pick them up with a long thin bamboo pole, and put them in a cool place. Let it dry, and the cold noodles are ready!In addition to the staple food of cold noodles, there are also steamed buns, commonly known as Baojizi.Boiled eggs or walnuts are placed in the middle, which evolved from the story of Jie Zitui and his mother, and it also represents a kind of good wishes for people. Chicken wrapping symbolizes the heart-to-heart connection between mother and child, filial sons and daughters, and a long life for parents.

There are also side dishes on the porcelain plate next to it, all kinds of jelly, pea powder, bean sprouts, spinach, and garlic sprouts are all served cold. The first is to commemorate the achievements of Jie Zitui during the Cold Food Festival, and the second is to symbolize the innocence of the family. Be a man and do things cleanly.

Qingming's ancestor worship wine is also indispensable. Qin Le still remembers that when he was a child, he made his own wine, and it would be ruined if he was not careful. Moreover, there was little food at that time, so he could only brew two small cans. The cloudy wine was basically It's all about offering sacrifices to ancestors and gods. If grandpa and dad want to drink, they can only drink a little during the Chinese New Year. After this, the two small cans of wine will basically be empty!

Now that every household has earned money, naturally they will not treat their ancestors badly. Arrange the holding boxes of each family in turn, and open them to see everything from Jinfen Liquor to Wuliangyuanye and Taohua Village. It's high-end liquor!

According to the customs of Qinjiabao, each family has three generations as a family. First, the small family worships the elders of each branch, and then all go to the ancestral hall, where the village chief presides over the worship of the ancestors.Taking Qin Le and his family as an example, the elders are respected.Grandpa Qin is the second child, the eldest brother has passed away, and the third sister's marriage has nothing to do with the family, so let's not talk about it!So Grandpa Qin presided over the ancestor worship ceremony for all the family members!

As the manager of the Qin Family Fort for many years, Grandpa Qin's words are quite authoritative.When you arrive at the cemetery, everyone first cleans up the weeds on the grave mound. If there are pines and cypresses planted in front of the grave, water the pine and cypress soil!After all these were done, a small brick was built in front of the grave, and a small earthen basin was placed on it.

Arrange and kneel in order of seniority, grandpa Qin said kowtow, and then everyone began to perform the ceremony according to the order of the process, and finally put a piece of white paper on it and pressed it with new soil or bricks to prove that this year's ancestor worship has arrived. This is the end.

This year, because Qin Le added a rule of presenting bouquets of flowers, the elders debated endlessly over this matter, and finally decided after a long time: the eldest son of whose family’s grave will find a bouquet of flowers, and if the eldest son and grandson are not present, then in order Pushing back, all of them were performed by juniors for the flower presentation ceremony.

Qin Le's side is better, Qin Le is considered as the eldest son and grandson, there is no dispute about this!But the eldest son and grandson of the Pangzhi family are only five years old now, and the ones in front of them are all older sisters or cousins. The four-year-old child is holding a large bouquet of flowers and dangling on the grave, and put the bouquet in a random way. They found out and were praised by Zhang Ben for a reason. This can be regarded as the concern of the younger generation for the ancestors!
