Before eating, he had to worship the ancestors. Seeing that the time was coming, Lin Dajiang drank some tea to sober up, and called Lin Anyu to the village.Half of the people in Shitou Village are surnamed Lin, and they are all ancestors. There is an ancestral hall in the village, which enshrines the ranks of the ancestors.

Usually, the older generation is taking care of it, and young people like them will not be allowed in, for fear that their ignorance will disturb the ancestors.

After everyone was gathered, Lin Wanguang led them into the ancestral hall, and each family took out tributes. The village head selected the best ones and put them on the table to worship the ancestors.

Everyone brought the best things that their family could produce, hoping that the tribute they brought would be selected.This is not something that makes people lose money. The things that are enshrined will be returned after the ancestor worship, and the things that belong to the house will be returned to the house.

But the things brought back here are not just as simple as food. They are rewarded by the ancestors after they have been used. With the blessings of the ancestors, if you eat them, you will be blessed.

The whole chicken brought by Lin Dajiang looked big and fat, and the shaved chicken looked smooth, so he was selected without hesitation.Hearing the roll call, Lin Dajiang laughed out loud, and he didn't hide his joy at all. He even looked at the relatives around him proudly, and at the urging of Lin Wanguang, he put the chicken on the altar.

Apart from the more complicated and serious procedures, ancestor worship is actually not that difficult. It is basically like offering food to the ancestors and burning a pile of paper money so that the ancestors can have money to use below.Finally, I will explain to my ancestors the major events that have happened this year, and hope that my ancestors will bless the Lin family with good health and safety in the coming year, and most importantly, pray for a good harvest in the coming year.

Lin Dajiang hugged the returned chicken and said goodbye to his relatives with a smile. He walked in front and couldn't wait to go home immediately.

Lin Anyu shook his head, quickly walked a few steps and followed.

"Xiaotao, hurry up, go and put the pot on again, let's cook a bowl of chicken soup for everyone to drink tomorrow, this is the chicken blessed by our ancestors!" Lin Dajiang shouted before entering the door.

"Hey, is my chicken enshrined today?" Mrs. He picked up the chicken and took the chicken over. The kitchen had already turned off, and he didn't mind the trouble, so he lit the stove again and put the pot on the rack. Start cooking chicken stock.After waiting for the chicken soup to boil, I put two fire-resistant thick firewood in the stove, and then I went back to the main room to start the last meal of the year.

The longer the New Year's Eve dinner is eaten, the better, but no matter how slow you eat, after more than an hour, it is basically the same.It was getting late after dinner, so I took everything on the table to the kitchen and cleaned the house.Then drink tea together, talk and watch the year together.

There is no entertainment here at night, and people who are used to going to bed early can kill people by staying up late.At first I was able to talk and chat, but it didn't take long before I couldn't bear the call of the biological clock, and my upper and lower eyelids couldn't stop touching each other.Even the voice of speaking gradually lowered until it disappeared.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Anyu's ears moved, as if he heard the sound of firecrackers outside?He rubbed his eyes to wake himself up, pushed the other people, who were struggling between sleeping and not sleeping, and said: "It's the first day of the new year, wake up, go back later sleep."

"It's here?" After Lin Dajiang heard it, he stood up abruptly, but his body didn't listen to him, and he couldn't stand still and swayed. He quickly supported the table.

"It should be here, I heard the sound of firecrackers." Lin Anyu yawned, he was used to going to bed early and getting up early, and even he, a night owl, couldn't hold it anymore.Firecrackers are set off during the New Year. It is not clear whether it is because of the legendary Nian beast or just because of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. Anyway, the custom has been passed down like this.

In ancient times, there were watchmen only in cities, and they couldn't know the exact time at all. After the watch was over in the city, they would get up and light firecrackers, which means that the New Year's Eve is over.

The sound of firecrackers can travel far, and those who don't live in the city will start to light up after hearing the sound, and slowly spread to their village.

Lin Dajiang went out of the yard, lit a piece of incense with a flint and steel, then stood a little further away and lit the primer of the firecracker with the burning incense, covered his ears and ran into the house.

There was a crackling sound, and the little fox, who was about to fall asleep, jumped up from the ground in fright.Outside the door was the place where the sound of firecrackers was the loudest. It didn't dare to run away, but finally broke open the door and ran into Hao Luo's room to hide.

After the firecrackers from Lin's family were fired, the sky-shattering sound of firecrackers began to be heard from the village one after another, and then from afar.Lin Dajiang let everyone go to bed after setting off firecrackers to usher in the new year.

This series of noises can shake people's drowsiness away, but it only lasted for a while, but in the end, it was not enough to overcome the drowsiness. After returning to the room, they immediately fell into a deep sleep, as if they would not wake up until noon.

It was really too late last night, Hao Yu, who usually gets up early, didn't wake up until Sishi, but Lin Anyu was the one who was even later, and he was sleeping soundly in his arms.

After Hao Yu moved and found that he couldn't get out of bed without disturbing Lin Anyu, he couldn't wake him up on the first day of the new year.Hao Yu simply gave up on getting up and just lay in his arms looking at his sleeping face.

Lin Anyu feels hairy when he sleeps, but after so long, he is used to having someone lying in the same bed with him.Without opening his eyes, he hugged the person in his arms and moved closer, burying him in the crook of his neck.

"Don't make trouble!" Hao Yu couldn't help laughing as his neck was itchy from breathing.

……

"Happy New Year, Aunt Lin Shulin! I wish you a happy New Year and good health!"

As soon as Lin Anyu left the room, he heard that a child was coming to pay New Year's greetings. He crossed the living room and went out to wash up. When he came back, he sat at the table with Hao Yu and began to eat breakfast.When the children came in twos and threes to pay New Year's greetings, Mrs. He grabbed a handful of candied melon peanuts for each child.

"Where's Hao Luo? Did you go out too?" Lin Anyu looked and thought of the only child in their family.

"Not yet, just playing in the yard. Mu Shao and Song Qun went out, saying they won't be back until noon." He said with a smile.

After Lin Anyu had breakfast, he went to the kitchen with Hao Yu to wash the dishes. They washed the two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks for nearly a quarter of an hour before they came out of the kitchen.

A layer of red confetti was spread on the ground in the yard, which was left after the firecrackers were set off last night. Today, the floor cannot be swept or watered, otherwise it will sweep away luck, ruin money, and attract "broom star", Incur bad luck.

Hao Luozheng was holding the burning incense in one hand, and was looking for unexploded firecrackers that fell from the firecrackers in the yard last night. missed.

Lin Anyu picked up a whole firecracker from the ground, walked behind him and stretched the firecracker over to the burning incense.

Hao Luo turned around when he heard the voice, startled: "Brother...brother?"

"Well, are you playing with firecrackers?" Seeing that the firecrackers were lit, Lin Anyu threw them into the corner, and the firecrackers that landed on the ground were exploded with a bang, and the red paper wrapped around them was blown apart. , it looks pretty good.

"Ah? No!" Hao Luo immediately shook his head: "I dare not order it, I made an appointment with Xiao Huan, and I will go out with them in the afternoon after I find it."

"Xiao Huan?" Lin Anyu was at a loss, whose child is this?

"Don't you know? It's just a child of the Cao family." Hao Yu stood at the door of the main room, watched them play, and replied when Lin Anyu was puzzled.

Lin Anyu heard the details, thought for a while and said, "I remember, I seem to have met the adults of the Cao family last time."
