A Timely Wife

Chapter 144 ancestor worship

In Chengdong's memory, ancestor worship is inseparable from the place full of decay, where rows of ancestral tablets are placed, and where the fragrance of salt is always lingering. Maybe it has something to do with his time travel experience, Chengdong Every time Dong came to this kind of place, he always felt uncomfortable all over his body, as if he was being spied on by someone.

But what surprised him was that ancestor worship at the Summer Solstice Festival did not require spying. He stood next to Li Ruosong and watched Li Liang standing in front of the venue, where he had already visited a table with a large There are many burning incense candles inserted in the incense burner, and a pot of corn, a plate of melons and fruits, and a pig's head are neatly placed in front of the incense burner. It seems that they are tributes to the ancestors. Li Liang is wearing a royal blue dress today. The color is straight, maybe it's the morning to clean up the face, or it's the first time to host such a big event, Li Liang looks very solemn, and his every move has a bit of everyone's demeanor.

After lighting the three incense candles, Li Liang respectfully bowed three times, took a step forward, inserted the three incense candles into the incense burner, bent over and stepped back, clasped his fists with both hands, and read aloud: "It's the time of the summer solstice sacrifice. During the auspicious period, the descendants of Li's family will gather here to pay homage to the ancestors, show the merits of the ancestors, express the respect of the future generations, and teach the filial piety of the descendants. , be good at the benefits of heaven and earth, respect and support parents, be good like water, continue the original line, and through the dynasties, capable people will come forth in large numbers.

Our successors dare not be negligent. We should love our relatives and serve our fathers, be open-minded, practical and diligent, increase the number of people, tighten our clothes and diet, study poetry hard, and honor our ancestors.Looking at the tombs of the ancestors, the rosy clouds are steaming, remembering the ancestors, and keeping in mind the family rules: farming and studying to inherit the family, hardworking and frugal, simple and honest, good neighbors and relatives, filial piety to parents, caressing children and grandchildren, family harmony and prosperity.The descendants and grandchildren should uphold the precepts of the ancestors, filial piety first, diligence and thrift, humility and kindness, advocating the virtues of elegance, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, gentleness, courtesy and thrift.Follow your parents, pass on filial piety, run your family diligently, educate your children, live and work in peace and contentment, and be a virtuous person.

Slight words and great righteousness, short words and long words, comfort my ancestors, bestow good luck forever, bless my family, and prosper forever!The descendants of future generations should remember the virtues of their ancestors and never forget them, and pray for Li's family fortune to prosper, the population to prosper, and the blessings to last forever.Fu Wei Shang Dian! "

After Li Liang finished speaking the last four words, all members of the Li clan bowed together and said, "Fu Wei Shangxiang."

After the clansmen behind him finished talking together, Li Liang picked up the wine jar and poured the wine in the jar on the ground three times. The ancestor worship is also over.

After the tribute table was closed, the annual small game began. Chengdong and Li Ruosong were naturally not interested, but it was the first time for Li Ruoshan to participate in this kind of activity. The little guy looked at the field with bright eyes. The swing set up looks eager to try.

Since Li Liang took over the position of patriarch, he has been busy every day, especially for today's sacrifice. Liang thought too much, and didn't say anything else, but the two words he just said made the villagers admire.

In the past, there were no ancestor worship activities in the village. The old patriarch would just say a few words to bless the weather and pray for the ancestors to be lenient. The words were very simple. Li Liang had already established absolute authority before he started to be a master.

Swinging is a must-have event in the summer solstice every year. Li Ruoshan didn't care about Li Ruosong and Chengdong at all when he saw something new. He didn't wait for others to push him, and he had a great time playing with himself.

In addition to the swing, there is also a game of horseback riding and fighting. Of course, it is different from what Chengdong imagined. The horseback riding here is really riding a horse instead of riding on a person's back, but what they ride is not a real horse but a bamboo horse. A group of five or six-year-old children, whose family made bamboo horses, their little heads might be able to lift their heads up to the sky. Those who don’t have bamboo horses don’t want to play, but fold branches and use them as their own horses, shouting incessantly. Drinking "drive, drive, drive." While shouting, he ran around in the venue.

This kind of horse-riding war is really too simple. It is nothing more than you chasing me and chasing you. The one who wins the race wins. Although the game is boring, seeing a group of children so energetic, Cheng Dong is still in a good mood.

If I really want to say that it is more exciting, it may be the Cuju competition. There is only one Cuju in the village. It was brought over by a villager from the capital more than ten years ago. The villagers have always cherished it. Only large-scale events will be used for children to play. Of course , only let children of a certain age play, if the age is too young, adults will often not agree, playing games is playing games, if it hurts someone's children, it will not be worth the loss.

It's not that Li Ruoshan doesn't want to play cuju, nor is it that he's too young. The most important reason why Li Ruoshan didn't play is that Li Ruoshan is too short. He doesn't look like an eight or nine-year-old child at all. If it is said that it is only four or five years old, some people still believe it.

Li Ruoshan's child was honorably removed from the list because of his height. It's not that Li Ruoshan never asked his grandparents, but the two of them didn't answer his words at all, so parents didn't have to ask. The grandparents disagreed. Can't say a word, the last hope can only be placed on Li Ruosong and Chengdong, to be precise, on Chengdong.

If someone thinks that Chengdong is a soft-hearted person, it is a big mistake. Li Ruoshan made the mistake of empiricism. He thought that as long as he acted like a baby with Chengdong, he would agree with Chengdong He went to play Cuju, but Chengdong just didn't let go, and he didn't agree no matter what.

It's not that Chengdong thinks that Li Ruoshan is more delicate and can't play cuju, and is worried about where Li Ruoshan knocks or gets hurt. Chengdong does have this consideration. It has nothing to do with his identity, but has something to do with Li Ruoshan's age. Dong always feels that children around ten years old are the worst age, and there is no sense of propriety in playing around. If they are injured because of this, it is completely worthless in Cheng Dong's view. If Li Ruoshan can eat more solidly, he will grow If it is higher, Cheng Dong probably won't stop it.

The children in the arena were having fun, and the adults around were having fun watching, cheering for their children one after another. Li Ruoshan pouted, looking sullenly at the kids having fun.

Li Liang worked hard the night before and didn't go to sleep until midnight. At this moment, his eyes could not be opened anymore. Li Chenshi was very keen to notice the strangeness of her husband, and said worriedly: "Husband, I will not help you back home Shall I rest for a while?"

"Here, both parents are here, I'll wait." Li Liang pinched the bridge of his nose and rubbed his forehead, intending to wake himself up. Li Chen looked at Li Qi and his wife who were standing not far from them, After thinking for a while, he said: "If I am not a concubine, I will ask my parents for a crime first. If you are like my husband, I will never let go of my feelings."

Li Liang thought for a while, and finally shook his head. Seeing that his wife was a little anxious, he comforted him: "It's better to talk to your parents about this matter for your husband, and you don't want to go there. If you say something wrong, your parents will blame you. your."

Li Chenshi paused for a moment, and said: "It's okay, I will go with my body, even if my parents blame me, I will not be afraid of myself."

Hearing this, Li Liang just smiled and told his wife to wait for him here, or he should go and plead guilty to his parents.It's not that Li Liang is worried about letting Mrs. Li and Chen talk about this matter, but that he can't bear to let his wife be blamed by his parents for this matter.

As for the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, no one sees it more clearly than Li Liang. The old lady in his memory is an excellent person. Although Xiao Liu dislikes their first room, she loves the first room and the second room. The first and second householders are considered loving mothers, but this loving mother always has a bad time with the old lady. The old lady looks down on her, and she hopes that the old lady will die quickly.It was Li Wushi, the great aunt who was so good back then, who also had some rough things with the old lady.

When Li Liang was very young, he understood that the man should be blamed for the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, not either party. Li Liang's current father, Li Qi, is very good at handling the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The time is not long.There is still a fundamental difference between a daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law. After all, they did not crawl out of their own stomachs. The same food is not delicious. A daughter can hold her mother’s arm and complain about the bad food, but a daughter-in-law can only silently After eating it, I have to say that the food is very appetizing.

That's all, the mother-in-law always has her own ideas, and the daughter-in-law also has her own standpoint, so the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can't always be smooth sailing. In this, men must take responsibility and embarrass things by themselves Let's talk about it, the mother will remember and hate the daughter-in-law, but she will not be really angry with her son. If the mother is coaxed by the superiors, and the wife is coaxed by the subordinates, the house will not be noisy forever.

Although Li Liang is not Li Wu's biological son, after getting along these few months, even cats, cats and dogs have feelings, not to mention that they are all human beings, and they have experienced so many things together. My sister's child is still fostered under his knees, even if it is not his own, it is no different from his own. Similarly, it is because he is not Li Qi's biological son that he has to come forward to say this kind of thing, otherwise, he will Where is Li Chenshi?

When Li Qi heard what Li Liang said, he didn't mean to obstruct at all. He directly asked Li Liang and his wife to go back to rest first, and told Li Liang that he didn't have to worry.

Hearing his father's assurance, Li Liang heaved a sigh of relief, saluted Li Liang and Li Wu with Li Chen and then turned back to Li's residence.
